Deal with a good honest AMERICAN company not a bunch of 1980's Scarface looking freaks. I have their company picture and will post it soon. They look like a 1980's mexican gang with a tiny weird version of Scarface as a leader.
company name in Peru : Peru Veloz S.R.L. in
Not too long ago I interviewed with George Otte, President, and owner
of Peruveloz.Com (email: gotte at geeksonsite.com); his full name is Jorge Eduardo
Otte Polo, age 27, upstanding member of the Coral Gables, Doral, and Miami
Beach Chambers of Commerce, and graduate of FSU. He's Peruvian, US Resident
Alien, RUC# 20512738428, who lives with his Mom in South Florida when he
visits every month or so, but in his apartment in Miraflores with his
teenage prostitutes when he's here. He applied for US citizenship, but INS
turned him down because he had some legal problems (violations of local
ordinances -- loud parties, orgies, and a few DUIs); he still trying to get
them to review his application.
Anyway, I learned in the interview with George that Peruveloz.Com is really
a front end for an entity called FixFlash.Com, AND GEEKS ON SITE supposedly based in Miami at
169 E. Flagler St, Suite #1012; I subsequently learned that GEEKSONSITEUSA.Com is
really a brand held by a firm named Tech Support Services, Inc, masquerading
as Geeks-OnSite.Com, Geeks-on-Site.Com, FixFlash.Com, TSS.cc,
tsscomputerhelp.com, tftnet.net and Tssmiami -- all of which are operated
out of Miraflores, but are all one and the same held by one Jorge Otte. I
agreed to work with FixFlash and signed what I was told was a contract to
work at Peruveloz.Com. The document was never notarized, and George Otte's
signature was a photocopy; he even gave me a copy of it once for bank
transfers. George Otte had convinced us all in person by his word and text
on those papers that we were bound to never divulge the true location and
situation of FixFlash.Com. I didn't pay a lot of attention to it at the
time, but subsequently learned that Peruveloz..Com had no authority to sign
a contract with any Peruvian tourist, and that as a tourist here, I had no
authority to sign any contract in Peru. The contract is therefore quite
likely null and void.
In any case, Peruveloz.Com is located in the upscale, heavily touristed Lima
district of Miraflores. It is in a penthouse suite on the 14th Floor of
Calle Bolivar #150, in Apt 1401 to be precise, in all of about 30 x 30 feet
total in a high rise building directly behind the Atlantic City Casino, with
a balcony overlooking Miraflores and the Pacific Ocean. Sounds luxurious,
but it really is not. Inside, there are three Peruvian technicians of
dubious backgrounds, and now, thankfully, an American technician, who says
he is certified, though I'm not sure of what. I'm not being critical of him,
its just that I don't really know anything about his certification. I know
that the Peruvian technicians had no recognized certifications whatsoever,
and none of these technicians receive any additional resources, training,
materials, texts, nor can or do they attend attend training seminars. These
technicians do all of the remote tune-ups on US home and business computers
using LogMeIn Free, sometimes 4-5 computers are connected at one time with
any one technician.
The sales reps were about 7 folks in all, sitting in the same room as the
technicians. The make up of the sales team are American, Canadian, and
various Peruvians who grew up or lived in the US or Canada. They were a
bizarre group of travellers. There was an alcoholic who had been jailed in
Lima for quite a while after bringing in a garbage bag of cellphones "for
his friends", and often worked completely sauced; another who is still in
jail for shooting a Lima taxi driver after geeks on site work one Friday night;
another employee was an on the job LSD freak; and so on. None of these folks
have current Peruvian visas. They're just hanging out, some for years, and
plan to pay the $1/day when they leave. The rest of the firm is made up of
really very pretty, young Peruvian women who carry out various types of
administrative work. All staff work at this sweat shop from tiny cubicals,
just enough room for a TV-sized monitor, mouse pad, and cup of coffee. I
lucked out and got to move to my home office early in 2009 and I did all of
my calling to techs via Skype, and logging into servers in Miraflores and
Miami remotely. Only one of the sales reps has any computer certifications,
but previous employment references were never checked for anyone. All the
sales staff speak good, fairly understandable, mostly Spanish accent-free
English, let's hire 'em!!.
So what's at GEEKS ON SITE in Miami? Nothing, it's a shell. A technician of ours
from Indianapolis suggested that as he was coming to Miami on vacation
anyway, he might stop by and visit. We repeatedly reminded him that he was
on vacation and urged him not to come. He would have spent a long time
trying to find us in vain. There is nothing related to GEEKSONSITEUSA.Com at the
Miami address except George Otte's uncle Don Cross' investment firm, where
the firm has a single SQL server offering out its CRM tool where Lima sales
reps are logged in via web access
each day. Anything sent there by postal mail is faxed to the office in Lima
by George's mom. Such a cool system isn't it. All the US resident clients
think that FixFlash is a local computer repair firm in their town -- I mean,
they found FixFlash in the Yellow Pages, they must be local right? Not. All
the FixFlash technicians (about 180 of them) think FixFlash is a big
national US firm with offices in Miami.
Even PC Magazine was proud to talk about the firm in their review of
FixFlash a year or so ago; I wonder if they would be so proud to review the
firm if they knew the truth about the company and its people.
As I'd been in the Accounting and Network Administration end of things, I've
been privy to and given access to just about everything, the details of the
people and the business. I know that the pay that techs get has been pretty
miserable for many, though bearable for some depending on one's needs;
things in Lima are on much worse scale than in the US. I'd been lucky in
that I had some external assets to help subsidize my income, but frankly, I
just don't know how the rest of the staff can survive. The company maid
makes $1.25 an hour, the computer techs make about $4 per hour, the
admin/sales staff see $2.70 per hour; the sales folks get some commissions.
The sales manager makes $9.35 per hour. Of course, everyone gets paid in
cash under the table. Some receive the cash in US bank accounts. The firm
didn't issue tax documents to us, we were never informed that it was illegal
for us to work in Peru. The whole thing was/is just illegal. Its a
big deal/steal for George Otte. He didn't declare our presence to anyone,
not even Peruvian agencies (according to online public info searches here,
Peruveloz has no employees or contractors). Attempts to send inspectors to
his offices have failed thus far, as George pays them off at the entrance to
the building. He has paid off the Sunat and the Ministry of Labor inspectors
thus far. He is grossing far more
than a million annually from his computer repair brands , but he hasn't
declared any staff to Peru's government, IRS, or Florida Dept of Revenue,
any US contractors to their State's government tax bureaus, nor registered
in any US state except Florida, according to accounting documents, despite
rapidly increasing sales and new Craigslist ads coming out in a bunch of new
GEEKS ON SITE today serves these US metro locations: Albuquerque, Atlanta,
Augusta, Austin, Babylon-Bay Shore, San Francisco Bay Area, Boise,
Belton/Grandview, Boston, Broken Arrow, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Clearwater/St Pete, Cleveland, Coeur DAlene, Colorado Springs, Columbus,
Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Dupage County, Fayetteville, Ft Worth, Herndon,

Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, South King County, Sparks, Spokane,
Tampa, Thousand Oaks/Simi Valley, Tucson, Tulsa, Ventura County, West Palm
Beach, Wichita, Wilmington, Winston/Salem, and Worcester.
All the job opportunities are advertised on Craigslist. The
ad titles are changed so that Craigslist doesn't catch on that the firm is
misusing that firm's website for nefarious reason. FixFlash/Peruveloz never
calls job references to check on a technician's status at any of their
previous employers. They are
looking for people with a lot of technical PC experience at one location and
not those who floated around from job to job. They do like folks who claim
to have certifications, like A+, Microsoft, etc, but no one here quite knows
what those really are. The FixFlash president, George Otte, is supposed to
be a Microsoft Certified Professional and a Microsoft Certified Systems
Engineer according to his latest CV, but I would really question this, given
his responses to many situations. Without knowing anything about the
FixFlash technicians, some could be just looking for an opportunity to get
inside client computers to gather personal information, but this FixFlash
firm doesn't check on anyone's references nor does personal background
checking on anyone at all. I'm sure that the firm's 11,000 US clients would
love to know that.
Functionally working as all of the Accounts Payable department for many
months, I had some kind of relationship with almost all of the US field
technicians -- many of techs spoke with me on the phone/Skype. The harddest
part of my job was lying to them and clients about our location/situation.
When asked how the weather was in Miami, we were told to say, beautiful! I
had also had to take monies from technicians who showed up late, no showed,
or messed up on the job. Many times we just refused to pay the technician,
even though he/she had been on the job for 12 hours or 3 days! It wasn't
because there was something in the contract that allowed FixFlash to do it,
but George really didn't want to paying the technicians unless they were
simply perfect. There were a bunch of technicians who said they would be
suing the company for these actions, but how do you sue a non-existent
company? If you're in Houston, how do you get $200 from a company in Miami,
who's not even in Miami to begin with? It was done, simply because George
Otte could get away with it. There is nothing on the web,
anywhere linking Peruveloz to FixFlash or Tech Support Services, Inc, and
there is nothing linking George Otte to Peru Veloz or Peruveloz, except in
Peruvian tax databases.
Management at Peruveloz royally sucks; every tiny, little speck is
magnified; the firm is thoroughly micromanaged. The days are full of crap
about what is going wrong, rather than what is going right. Management
spends 80% of its time clamping down staff actions that impact 1% of gross
rather than spending time making staff feel good about themselves and their
jobs despite no recognition and thoroughly horrible pay. Morale is poor,
everyone is on edge, many are worried, whenever management is in country.
Employment is very much a revolving door. I
never bothered to set up folders for most staff in my Outlook because they
were constantly starting and then quitting. The same is true for onsite
technicians; many hang on for a month or so and then have a deduction levied
on them or some other pay dispute, and they go by the wayside.
Along with the micromanagement, comes complete overbearance. The staff are
independent contractors, not employees. They are not on salary, and do not
expect to get called at 10pm at night to be asked about having paid someone
an extra $12.50 because we rounded differently or asked less than an hour
from taking vacation to upload a file to JetPay in the US to run the
company's billing. George called me and other staff on our cellphones at all
hours. He acted this way to all of our technicians and all of our clients,
completely unavailable.
Technicians aren't fired or terminated. All of the "contracts" are still
valid, supposedly to scare them into not creating another FixFlash type
organization to compete against them. When someone is eliminated, they are
simply removed from the directory of onsite technicians; their record then
calls them inactive techs and suddenly they don't get sent any of our jobs.
There is no explanation to the technician, letter of thanks or good riddens,
they are just phased out! No letters go out to techs at all ever, in fact.
How do you send a letter to anyone from Peru anyway? Regular mail from here
is horrendously slow, expensive, and downright unreliable. George did bring
a box of client letters to go out around Xmas went he went to Miami for the
holidays. Wouldn't it have been nice if he had thought of his US "staff"
They had me doing the work of two full-time workers and refused to add
additional workers. In my last week of work during the summer, George
refused to pay me back pay owed for time over forty hours for the last four
months some weeks had I worked more than 100 hours. George runs the firm
using a bunch of credit cards and a Florida bank, Gibraltar Private Bank &
Trust, where George once worked full-time as their tech support guy. We all
worked really hard, but with so very little to show for it, enough became
enough for me. A few technicians got caught in this dilemma, as they hadn't
received paychecks. Those expecting PayPal were fresh out of luck. George
had maxed out his 2nd Amex card in 2 months and though he had funds in his
personal checking account, he expressly forbade me from writing checks out
of it, so anyone expecting PayPal payments in my last week was fresh out of
luck. When the whole pay dilemma hit the fan, he balked, and I refused to
work until he paid me. . [continued below]....
Geeks OnSite, Fixflash, Tech Support Services, whatever. is PERU VELOZ, and they work from Lima, Peru South America
They are all the same. They work from Lord Nelson 380 Miraflores, (they are moving out soon) They do not even have a business license to work in the country of Peru. It is owned indeed by George Eduardo Otte Polo. He is a short bald ugly man with an ego the size of a country. You need to meet this man to truly paint the picture, but its Grim. I actually think he thinks he is good looking, but looks more like a gay troll. You see these people defending him because they have no where else to go. All the americans that work there are either 1980's gangsters wanna be , ran from charges in the U.S. and can't go back, or just plain too stupid to get a real job. Please just work there and be quiet but don't defend a man that exploits expats and has them work for $2 an hr., yes 2$ an hour. You are not doing anyone a service by helping him, work there be expolited, and shut up. You have no where else to go. Even the self proclaimed MANAGER/collection agent brags he is making 2K a month. I do hope you realize that people make that in the Dollar Store in the states. If you were allowed back in the country you would know that. Really don't brag about 2k its embarrassing to the rest of us Americans that actually have pride. But, back to the Company, they are 100% Peruvian owned an operated. The owner isnt even a citizen of the United States. If your looking for American made and want to deal with people that haven't spent much time in the penal system!
I live in Miami myself, went to the address they told me, and it doesnt exist !
This company needs to be exposed and shut down

While many textbooks and articles have created the myth that the Internet Protocols (IP) were designed for warfare environments, the top level goal for the DARPA Internet Program was the sharing of large service machines on the ARPANET [Clark, 1988]. As a result, many protocol specifications focus only on the operational aspects of the protocols they specify and overlook their security implications.
Much of the effort of the security community on the Internet protocols did not result in official documents (RFCs) being issued by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) leading to a situation in which "known" security problems have not always been addressed by all vendors. In many cases vendors have implemented quick "fixes" to protocol flaws without a careful analysis of their effectiveness and their impact on interoperability [Silbersack, 2005].
As a result, any system built in the future according to the official TCP/IP specifications might reincarnate security flaws that have already hit our communication systems in the past.

Perhaps more than any other season in the 14-year history of the CIF-Metro Conference, the identity of the Kiwanis Cup champion remains a total mystery heading into the final three weeks of regular season play.
Will it be the Westview Wolverines? The Rancho Bernardo Broncos? The Cathedral Catholic Dons or even the Eastlake Titans?
One of the above seems to be a safe bet, but recent results favor a few upsets in this year's 12-team playoff field. The rankings, in fact, may flat-line by the time the regular season is over.
There may be no favorites.
"The playoffs are going to be very interesting this season," Rancho Bernardo coach Pat Sagara noted. "There really is no clear 'favorite' as in seasons past where there were one maybe two teams that were clear favorites to take the title. As shown by the scores to this point in the season, several teams have shown they are capable of winning it all. All it takes is for a goalie and/or team to get on a hot streak like West Hills did last year, and they can take the title."
In games on Monday, for instance, the Scripps Ranch Falcons doubled up the La Jolla Country Day Torreys, 8-4, on hat tricks by Zach Lopez and Carl Smith while Brent Oliver and London Peters each had one goal.
These are the same Falcons that scored a 5-4 overtime win over Poway recently and the same team that went down, 11-6, to Eastlake in a non-league encounter. LJCD shaded Eastlake, 8-5, in an early season game.
So, the teams that are playing well at the end of the season obviously will have an advantage when the playoffs roll around.
St. Augustine, which fell to Eastlake, 8-3, to face off the season, defeated LJCD, 6-5, in a recent Central League game, and LJCD recently shut down defending Kiwanis Cup champion West Hills, 4-2, in another Central League contest.
West Hills, in turn, stunned Cathedral Catholic, 7-5, in a recent Central League encounter. The Wolf Pack and the Falcons have split their two games this season, with Scripps taking the rematch 6-3 after falling 7-1 in the teams' season opener.
So, who has the advantage? It really seems that on any given night, any team can beat the other.
That's called parity – and it seems to be ruling the conference this season more than in any other.
"The teams in the Central League have gotten a little tighter," said St. Augustine coach Christian Da Luz following the Saints' 13-0 non-league win over Otay Ranch Monday at the Castle Park High School rink.
The victory raised St. Augustine's overall record to 4-7. The Saints are 2-4 in league play, trailing West Hills (3-1 in league, 5-6 overall), Cathedral Catholic (3-2 in league, 5-6 overall) and LJCD (2-3 in league, 7-6 overall).
La Jolla Country Day is undefeated against Sweetwater district teams this season. The Torreys have beaten Eastlake, Otay Ranch and Southwest while the Saints have defeated Southwest.
Ian Harkness led St. Augustine in Monday's game with four goals while Jay Farrell scored three times, Fernando Huerta had three assists, Phil Park and Charlie Tomlin each collected two goals and one assist, Nick Heid scored twice and Nick Tarantino contributed a pair of helpers.
Westview and Rancho Bernardo have split their two games thus far in North County League play. The Wolverines topped West Hills, 8-0, in a high profile encounter last week while the Broncos blasted a short-handed Wolf Pack squad by a score of 16-0 the week before that.
Westview entered the week with a conference best 11-1 overall record, followed by Rancho Bernardo at 10-2. The Broncos' other loss this season has been to Poway.
Poway entered the week 8-4 on the season, 4-4 in North County League play.
The Wolverines bested preseason No. 1 Cathedral Catholic, 13-3, on Jan. 30 after RB had hammered the Dons 11-0 the previous night.
Eastlake, this year's Sweetwater district monster squad with a runaway 11-1 record, fits in somewhere among the conference's top six or seven teams – perhaps as high as third or fourth on a good day when the puck is bouncing the right way for the Titans.
Many are predicting Eastlake as the favorite to win next year's Kiwanis Cup championship title should all the talented underclassmen on this year's squad stay together next year.
But after what the Seattle Seahawks did to the Denver Broncos in Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII, one has to ask … Why not the Titans? Why not this year?
Any way it turns out, it looks to be fun at the end of February for a lot of teams concerned.
In other games Monday at CPHS:
Southwest 9, Sweetwater 2
The Raiders inched closer to securing this year's South Bay League championship after downing the Red Devils to open up a three-game cushion on second place Castle Park in the league standings. Angel Rocha led Southwest with six goals and one assist while Henry Avalos chipped in with a goal and two assists. Ulises Mireles scored twice for Sweetwater.
Mar Vista 2, Chula Vista 0
This late in the season, there doesn't appear to be much separating many of the Sweetwater district teams. That was aptly put on display in this incredibly close match-up between the Mariners and Spartans. Mar Vista got goals from Eloy Rodriguez and Adrian Contreras and a solid defensive effort from goaltender Bryan Dennis to record the shutout victory.
In games played Wednesday at CPHS:
Bonita Vista 9, Hilltop 1
Jonathan O'Brien racked up six goals and one assist in the Barons' most complete victory of the season against a Hilltop squad missing three key players, according to Lancer coach Dan Vaccaro. Still, the Barons skated to perhaps their best showing of the season in the Mesa League encounter, with multiple players contributing to both the solid offensive and defensive effort. Thomas Giltner, Alex Tran and Giancarlo Dongo each scored single goals for Bonita Vista, which also received an assist from Sheina Dunnells. Andrew Tesner scored the long goal for Hilltop.
Eastlake 12, Otay Ranch 3
The Titans are starting to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the Mesa League after zipping past the rival Mustangs. Conference scoring leader Aaron Mayer paced Eastlake's latest effort with 10 points on five goals and five assists while Danny Castillo contributed four points (two goals, two assists), Sam Bawden scored twice, Will Winters collected a goal and assist and Micke Mechling and Nick Rodriguez each scored once. Devyn Taras led Otay Ranch with two goals and one asssit. Ruben Ponce scored the Mustangs' other goal.
The key victory raised he Titans' season record to 12-1, 6-0 in league play. "I think we're on pace," EHS coach Ron Cole said. "The story will be written soon when we face more non-district teams."
In another game Wednesday at the Escondido Sports Center:
Poway 12, Scripps Ranch 4
It was the Eric Wright show as the Titan sniper fired in five goals to lead his team to a North County win over the Falcons. Shane O'Brien tallied three goals for Poway while Charlie Leibman and Nick Brooks each scored twice.
In a game played Thursday at the CPHS rink:
Otay Ranch 1, Castle Park 1
Ruben Ponce gave the Mustangs a 1 -0 lead and Castle Park's Nacho Mireles notched the game-tying goal in a game called after two periods due to rain.
In games played Friday at the CPHS rink:
Southwest 4, Castle Park 1
The Raiders secured the rights to this year's South Bay League championship banner with the win. Southwest is four games ahead of both Mar Vista and Castle Park in the league standings with two games to play. The game was befitting of a championship encounter with the Raiders and Trojans skating through a scoreless first period. Southwest went up 2-0 on a pair of goals scored by team leader Angel Rocha, both off CPHS turnovers in the Trojans' own zone. Rocha' second goal was a thing of beauty -- and a perfect example of following up a play. The Southwest scoring wizard stole the puck, raced in on CP netminder Hector Garcia, attempted to go top shelf, with Garcia batting the puck to his left. But Rocha's momentum took him in the same direction and he reached back to lift the back into the near corner. Robust cheers from the Raiders bench drew special attention to the effort. Rocha scored again in the third period and added an empty net goal to finish the game with four goals.
Chula Vista 8, Sweetwater 3
The Spartans put together their most productive game of the season to move out of the South Bay League cellar. Mikey Thompson scored a season-high five goals and one assist and Ellia Manzo also recorded a hat trick for Chula Vista, which has clearly come on in the late stages of the season. Ulises Mireles remains the standout player for Sweetwater, finishing the game with three goals of his own. The Red Devils led early on in the game by a score of 2-1.
Hilltop 3, Mar Vista 2
In the closest game of the night, Phillip Fuñe snapped a 2-2 tie with a goal from the sideboards with 30 seconds to play to give Hilltop a dramatic non-league victory. The Lancers carried the momentum early, finishing the opening period with a 1-0 lead after Cameron Adams slid in a puck that lay motionless in front of the Mariner net after trickling through the pads of goaltender Bryan Dennis. But Mar Vista picked up the pace in the final two periods and generated the better scoring plays before Fuñe's game-winner. Eloy Rodriguez scored his 20th goal of the season to tie the game for the Mariners in the second period. Hilltop regained the lead, 2-1, on a goal by Pablo Corona later in the stanza but Cindy Moeller's goal midway through the third period knotted the game up again. The Lancers, facing a possible overtime encounter with the Mariners, scored the game-winner on a power play, with an infraction whistled on Mar Vista with 1:00 left in regulation play.

The product, developed with the company Flyhidrate, consists of three different coloured drinks, designed to be consumed at different stages of a long-haul flight. The drinks were first used by the All Blacks during this year's rugby championship and again on their trip to Scotland ahead of their northern hemisphere tour.
School of physical education senior lecturer Dr Jim Cotter, who worked on the product with a team of researchers from the school of physical education and the food science department, said it felt "good" the product they helped create was being used by the All Blacks.
He said they agreed to take part in the project in early 2010 and developed, tested and refined the drink over 18 months, from June 2010 to December last year. It first went on the market at the start of this year.
Dr Cotter said in developing the drinks the team applied to long-haul flying some of the work they had done on hydration solutions for athletes competing in the heat.
"There are a lot of effects from long-haul flying and one of them is associated with dehydration caused by being in a very low humidity environment."
Keeping hydrated throughout a flight resulted in less fatigue at the end of the flight and helped the body get used to new time zones quicker, he said.
The three-stage beverage system's main purpose was to promote hydration, but it also contained antioxidants and other ingredients to fight off the effects of flying.
While it was not created specifically for sports people, the amount of travel they did meant many could take advantage from it.
"If it can do something that makes them feel better with their travel and make them feel a bit better at the other end, then that's great."
However, he was keen to point out it was not a"magic bullet" for combating jet lag.
"There is no substitute for common sense when you are flying in terms of good fluid consumption, keeping moving, and not drinking too much alcohol."
The drinks are available at Auckland Airport as well as some airports in Australia.

Alaskan Wife and Mama to my special little guy (9/13/11) and expecting #2 (2/21/13)!
1) Did we ever pick our "leaders" for the new forum/board/club thing?
2) Thrasher has the hiccups ALL THE TIME. Ok, maybe twice a day, but they last for so long I feel terrible for him. How do you scare the hiccups out of a fetus? lol
3) I am alternating between "Holy ****, how am I 34 weeks already?!?!" and "Holy ****, how do I still have 3-8 weeks left of this?!?!"
4) We are totally moved in, and I've been cleaning out our apartment so another pregnant girl can move in! She's due two days after me and allergic to cats, so I feel awful for her and am trying to clean as best as I can! I think I'll have to rent a shampooer.
5) Baby's Storage Room is set up (I'm not kidding myself by calling it a nursery) and I think I want to start a thread where we show pics of baby rooms. I know a bunch of you put a lot more work into your rooms than I did - I think it would be neat to see the different ideas.
Alaskan Wife and Mama to my special little guy (9/13/11) and expecting #2 (2/21/13)!
Have had an unsettling morning...now that we've all survived the Great Hurricane Irene.
Looked like I was losing some bits of my mucus plug this morning, which freaked me out. Had a prenatal appt. scheduled anyway, so went in and the following things happen:
- Had a ton of glucose in my urine, which never happens. I'm always 0. Didn't eat anything different that I usually do last night or this morning. Did really well on GTT screening two weeks ago, too. (Midwife said we'd keep an eye, but felt like it was just a fluke).
- Had blood pressure taken and midwife said the numbers seemed really far apart and I should make sure to drink a lot more and take in some more salt.
- She tried to take blood for my anemia check and couldn't get any blood to come out (she tried twice). This has also never happened to me before. I guess there's a chance she's really bad at taking blood, but she seemed very certain that she was at the vein. She thought this might be because of the blood pressure issue.
Fortunately, she was not at all worried about the mucus plug issue since I'm not having any other prelabor symptoms. We decided to chalk it all up to stress (the build-up to Hurricane Irene, DH being away, and all that). So, trying to be a calm, cool, collected, hydrated, salted mama.
Teacher until birth of DS (7-27-08)and now DD (10-17-11):, now SAHM, wife to my wonderful hard-working DH.
not_telling- glad your care provider isn't concerned. Sounds nerve wracking though.
Karli- glad you are getting moved in. I totally get the baby storage room. If we had a place that is what ours would be. we won't be doing a nursery for the baby, she will sleep with us until about a yr then we will move her in with her sister and move ds3 in the room with his brothers.
I feel the same way about wow not quite 8 wks and WOW NOT QUITE 8 WKS!!!
So today I actually went to my storage unit and brought over most of the baby items. I haven't done anything with it but they are here. Also have my birth supplies so I can go through them and make sure I have what I need. Dh wants to blow up the tub to make sure it doesn't have a leak.
I wanted to past the below from last wks chat thread as it was the last post I think it got over looked:
So evidently I am now officially HUGE! I went to a church meeting last night. First was greeted by whoa what have you been eating in the last week you have really popped out... Um thanks then a few moments later a women said I didn't know you were having twings.... Um not that I know of. Then as I was leaving a lady asked "any day now" .I said " 8wks left"... she said "oh there is no way you will make it that long.
So I feel really huge but that just confirmed it for me.
Then I had my mw appt today where she said, I haven't ever seen you this big even at full term. So if my mw thinks I am huge, I must be huge.
She measured me and I am measuring 36wks (I am 32) and this is the first time I have measured ahead. The baby sounded great and everything looked great but she did say that the baby wasn't all that big but I had a lot of extra fluid in there. She told me it wasn't a concern but of course I don't believe her bcs I am a nervous wreck about this pg... so what did I do. I googled it. That was stupid. Now I am freaking out. Dh and I agreed to wait 2 wks till my next appt. and if I am still measuring big w/ lots of fluid to do an u/s. Why can't this be easy?
Hope everyone is doing well.

No. My thoughts are that we want a few people who are:
1) reasonably regular about checking MDC (but obviously may be away from time to time)
2) inclusive but also
3) reasonably clued in and can tell the difference between new people and trolls and
4) willing to do it.
If they are willing, I think Steph (StephandOwen), capretta and Amy May would all do a great job.

~pi: I'm flattered and would be willing to do it, if no one else steps forward, but I'm not exactly the most active poster around here.
And since I'm actually posting now...
AKChix0r: We have a baby storage room too! It is painted and now has a dresser and I even put up a wall decal over the weekend, but it's still storing the boxes that haven't been unpacked since our move in June and for at least the next 6 months or so, the sprog's room is going to be where we put our visitors (the sprog will sleep with us), so I'm not terribly concerned about setting it up as a proper nursery.
I third pi's suggestions!
Capretta: My storage room is actually nursery-ish, but we were given more hand-me-down gear and clothes than I have room for! It's overflowing with jumpers, rockers, exersaucers, swings, etc. I think my husband is scared.
Forgot to mention my big scare this weekend... I way overdid it last week. Here I was all mad and bent out of shape at people for trying to restrict what I was doing, and then it all caught up with me and almost hurt me and the baby. After two straight days of working full time then moving all night, I worked a half day on Friday so I could leave early to be in a commercial for a non-profit I'm heavily involved with. No one told me I'd be standing on a raised platform under hot lights, unable to move for 1.5 hours. I started to black out but sat down just in time. It almost happened again and they escorted me off set. Totally embarrassing (and scary). Luckily, they wrapped like TWO minutes after I went down. Had I just made it five minutes longer....
Alaskan Wife and Mama to my special little guy (9/13/11) and expecting #2 (2/21/13)!
(AKChix, thanks for starting the thread!)
Nothing much happening here. Found out that what I thought were mosquito bites is actually poison ivy. I have a patches of it along my belly where it sticks out the most. Nice.
Slowly getting the nursery corner together. No separate room for this baby. We're just squashing her in with us in our 1-bedroom. We had to turn the bed sideways and covering the walk-in closet door in order to fit her co-sleeper and other things. I got a cubeical bookcase type thing from target and fabric baskets to hold her stuff. So far, I think it is working and will look nice even.
I returned a bag of baby clothes and miscellaneous items to target and received $70 back on a gift card. I still have 3 more bags of mostly clothes that I received at the baby shower to try to return. Since I have 4 boxes of clothes picked up from family, friends, garage sales, and donations already, I'm trying to exchange the excess clothes for other stuff we need more.
Speaking of which, the local natural parenting store had their sidewalk sale this weekend and I was able to pick up a nursing tank, nursing bra, Moby wrap, and belly band for 1/2 off. I'm using the belly band to support the belly now that it's gotten so round and heavy.
I think I'll go a few more weeks at work and then stop. Anyone else know when they'll start their leave?
I'm just back from a week of camping! It was wonderful. It was kind of luxury camping, in a pop-up trailer and I had my own bed. Lots of riding in our little boat on the lake, DS fishing and nice campfire chats with DH, where we actually discussed the baby's possible naming.
I hear you, theboysmama, about being suddenly huge. Most people are telling me that I am looking ready to go also. Fortunately, they counter that statement with, "but you're not big anywhere else." So I don't need to haul off and whop anyone.
I had a baby storage room with DS, but now it is his bedroom. So this baby has an actual dresser and some storage under DS's bed.

On the subjects of social groups ... isn't it an option? Not a requirement? I don't feel like we've got any trollish folks hanging around. I'm happy to keep things as is.
Karli ... Awesome that you're moved! Congratulations!
not_telling ... All of those things would be upsetting to me, along with the hurricane. Do you have any Rescue Remedy? That might helped calm the waters, so to speak.
AFM: Sorted and weeded out the hand-me-downs! And I moved dd's things into the two bottom drawers of the dresser so that she can pick her clothes herself, and (way more importantly) so that I can put the baby's things in the top two drawers. I refuse to have more than two drawers of clothes per kid, so what with the onslaught of hand-me-downs, I'll be doing a lot more weeding and shuffling of things. And I took a bunch of shirts with butt flaps to my sister's so she can covert them into just t's, because the butt flaps don't fit over big cloth diapered baby bums. And took some of dd's clothes (okay, LOTS) next door for the baby girl there.

Karli, I swear this baby has hiccups about 1 time per hour, at least! They say it doesn't bother them as much as it does us and apparently it is a sign of maturation, which is great!
glad you are okay not_telling!
AFM, just trying to keep the SPD (aka: pubic pain) down to a minimum. Keeping workouts light and trying to avoid compromising positions. Also working on making more time for doing mental imagery and other birth preparations. I got the baby's swing today. Had a ton of fun putting it together. I got the I luv u zoo style one.
I think the thing is that it gives us a space to post that is easy to keep track of our DDC peeps after they close down our DDC. I.e. instead of posting an "October '11 Babies!" thread in babies, then toddlers, etc, which gets lost in the shuffle, we would have a place of our own to keep updated, etc.
I noticed the same thing, then I thought it was really wierd and went back and read it again - the notice I saw was announcing a psychic question and answer thread was closing down and no new threads could be started after Aug 31st. I totally glanced over it thinking it was relating to our DDC, maybe you saw the same thing? It seems really strange that they wouldn't let our DDC's go to our DD months at least, doesn't it?
Going to see what I can find...

I was bad and bought a bag of Gardetto's out of the vending machine at work, and it got stuck, so I bought another and they both came and since I have no will power I am now eating the second bag.
This weekend I washed and sorted the baby clothes from DS which we will start with since we do not know the sex, made room in the dresser for them by shuffling around DS's clothes, and made two more ( 4 total) freezer meals, and gathered and organized the majority of my birth supplies.
Mama to DS (03/09) and DD (10/11) and married to the love of my life
I finished the first was on all three dozen diapers this weekend. I'm still trying to figure out how we're going to manage cloth without a washing machine (our local laundromat is too expensive to go every 3 days plus the washers are for 15 pound + loads), but the new drying rack I got is great!
I tried using the 1880s wooden mangle i bought on eBay to wring them out but a) it's a bit unwieldy with no frame or anything to hold it, and b) really needs a good cleaning! (that diaper had to be rewashed.)
I tried making some freezer food this weekend too, but it looks like it's ending up this week's dinner. Fortunately we have A LOT of beans and grains in the house and usually some sort of tinned tomatoes and froze veg so we can always resort to throwing random things in the crockpot for a while after the birth.
I don't believe DDCs are closing as of Aug 31, but they will close eventually (if memory serves, usually about 3 months after the birth month or something like that?), whereas a social group can stay indefinitely. I am pro creating a social group for this reason alone.
ETA: In other words, no rush, but if we want to move to a social group, we will need a few leaders. Hence the discussion.
almost irrational
From the Social Groups announcement http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1327212/social-groups-are-here
"Going forward, all Due Date Clubs (DDCs) will be created as a Group and they will remain active rather than archived. DDCs that are now closed and archived may be apply for a Group creation. "
So I think this DDC will stay open after August 31st until whenever they normally close them, but they won't be starting a May DDC for people who get pregnant in September. I think pi's suggestions for leaders are good -- if they are willing :)
Also got my mobile in the mail. Tiny Love Sweet Island Dreams. Well the motor is making a loud noise so I had to email their customer service to request a replacement part. Apparently others have had this problem and had to do the same. The mobile is beautiful though, once it gets the new part I think I'll be very happy!
We're looking at various solutions for dirty diapers. Right now I'm just washing in the sink to get them absorbent but I think washtub and plunger may end up being what we use. It's not as much my concern though as cloth was decided by the Minister of Output (Spouse.) As Minister of Input I get all say on pumps, milk storage, etc.

Wow. I admire your tenacity! We have the same problem with no washer and only paid laundry (unless I go to MIL's house and use their machine, but it's a top-loader HE that seems to not like to get things very clean anyway), and so I just threw in the towel and decided not to cloth diaper this time around, and will revisit it if we move to a better situation while baby is still diapered. Anyway, I wondered if you had ever heard of the Wonder Wash? It's a little hand-cranked washer that I've heard some people use in situations like ours.
Regarding the social group thing... I really have no idea what to expect, but I'm for moving forward with it, as well. I love the suggestions for leaders already put forward. :)
Hiccups: All my babies have gotten them, usually what seems like at least 5 times a day, by this point in pregnancy. I've also heard that it's not really bothersome to them (something about not having air-filled lungs yet, I think). But as it feels generally like a persistent muscle twitch to me, I've honestly never enjoyed the sensation and wish they'd get less hiccups just for that reason. ;)
Baby room: There is none, lol. We've got 2 bedrooms, and my 3 olders are already sharing and have toy storage in the same room, and so baby certainly won't go in there. We will set up our co-sleeper in our room (which is the smaller of the 2 rooms), but not until last-minute, because I like having floor space for now. ;) I also got a lovely Sterlite plastic dresser to set on top of my own dresser. It's so gorgeous and nursery like, I may just never move it! (*snort*) But anyway, we're ready to be functional, at this point. Well, I think so. I haven't 100% decided where to put things like diapers and wipes, but we'll figure it out, I'm sure. Oh, and speaking of the co-sleepeer, I got another of my to-do list items done today! Pulled it out and scrubbed it down and let it sun dry. Looks practically new again! It was nasty and stank when I pulled it out... too many kids with dirty hands touching it before I put it away last time, I guess. ;) But, in doing my to-do-list item, I added another to the list: Make my own sheets. I only have one to go with it, and it's not in the best of shape. Even one extra with the flannel I have on hand would be plenty. That darn list never shrinks.
AFM: Today was a good day. Much cooler than other days we've had lately, got my co-sleeper washed, had a relatively relaxing day with DH home from work, made my own baby shower invitations (MIL and SIL aren't the best at that sort of thing, and knew I'd be willing to help, but it's still funny to me, lol), finally saw Harry Potter with DH (at $5/ticket, and the whole theater to ourselves!), had a yummy dinner at a new BBQ place on an outdoor patio, and saw a gorgeous sunset on the way home. And just enjoyed a bowl of ice cream, too! Can't beat that. :)

Karli - great to hear on the move!!! Ds used to get the hiccups CONSTANTLY & after he was born he got them pretty regular for the first few months. This baby has only had them once that I noticed - funny.
not_telling - sorry you had such a strange appt - hopefully things sort themselves out - perhaps you were a little dehydrated?
theboysmama - gotta love the comments from strangers! I have to admit I do kind of like when random strangers ask when I'm due now - I feel like I finally look so definitely pregnant that people aren't afraid to take the risk (as in they don't think I just look fat).
beautifulmoon - how did you get the poison ivy on your belly? That's awful - I get baaad reactions from the stuff & can't imagine! What a great idea to return the stuff you don't need - big chain stores do tend to be pretty easy in this regard.
starling - you must do laundry a lot more often than me or have a neater child - I have 6 drawers for ds!!! & I still run out of clean shirts for the kid sometimes - it's ridiculous really!
teruterubozo - love the rack! Minister of Output/Input - fabulous!
afm - back from my trip out east. Had to leave really early yesterday morning to try to avoid the hurricane influenced storms - managed to make it to my destination before it got really bad. Was a long day of driving though 'cause I felt kind of stressed about the whole thing. Ds did fabulous though with all the driving though.
So I think I may finally be nesting!!! I only got home this afternoon but have already hung out laundry, unpacked the truck from our trip (this is unheard of - usually the bags sit in the vehicle or the entranceway for extended periods), hung pictures/candleholders/mirrors on the walls & tidied up outside plus my workout.
I would love for this baby to just come!!! I know it is still early but I am not enjoying being so uncomfortably big anymore. So my goal this week is to pack my hospital bag, make up the gift basket for the nurses, make the newborn diapers & make bedroom curtains. That way she knows I'm prepared & can come whenever she is ready!
Nursery - we never made one up at all for ds. We made a "big boy" room when he was 18 months & he was ready for his own bed (well, sort of, he still was in our bed half the night). This time we've set up the crib in his room (they'll share when the time comes) but realistically I know she will be in our room for at least 6 months - likely longer.
Doula mama to dd (Oct '11) & ds (Oct '08) and expecting (Apr '17)
I read some bad reviews of the WonderWash, unfortunately. We were going to get one but I heard they leak and the handle falls off. Do you have a pattern for co-sleeper sheets or are you making flat ones? We need to get/make some as well. Ugh! The more I think about things we have left the more I start to panic.
That's too bad, that it's gotten bad reviews! Seemed like such a simple, easy solution if you're willing to put the time in. Well, I hope you find a good solution, no matter what it ends up being!
I don't have a pattern for co-sleeper sheets. I was thinking of copying it exactly, but MIL suggested that it would be easier to basically make a pillowcase (based on the size of the top part of the sheet) and sew on some velcro in the right places o the underside before I sew it all together. I love her idea - it's definitely more simple and less time-consuming! - I just have to take the time to make sure that will work! Otherwise I'm just going to trace the shapes and add seam allowances.

I think I might want to get one if we start camping again. My kids get soooo Nasty when we camp and we have to devote e tire days and lots of money for washing.
None of my babies have ever had hiccups that I know o..hmmm, I wonder why.
nicole , mom to 3 boys here on earth 9, 7 and 4.5 and 2 girl's 2.5 and 10/16/11. Always remembering my babies in heaven: Sam (9/7/05) at 12.5 wks , Morgan (2/13/06) at 6 wks , Emeric (8/9/10 at 17 wks) and Pepper (11/26/10) at 8wks.
Not too much going on here. I have this week off of work. Yay!! I have been looking forward to this time off for the last 2 months. I'm a nanny and love my job, but a break is always nice : )
I don't think I've ever felt my baby have the hiccups. I'm going to try to pay attention and see if I notice it.
I feel like I have SO much to get done before this little guy shows up. I'm going to try to start washing all of his clothes this week. It's all in his dresser and closet, just not washed yet. His crib is together, just doesn't have the sheet on it yet. I only have a 1 bedroom apartment, so he will be in the room with me for now. Hopefully when he is about 7 months old I can move into a 2 bedroom apartment. If only rent wasn't so expensive here on Long Island.....lol.
I also want to start sort of putting the goody baskets together for the nurses. I guess I need to find baskets first. Maybe I'll go to Michaels or Home Goods.
I need to do my birth plan.
I haven't heard back from my midwife about my 24 hour urine test. I guess I can call her to see if she has the results yet. I'm really really hoping that I don't have pre-eclampsia.
Chelsea, loving mama to Landon, born 11/3
teruterubozo - with my first kiddo we did not have a washing machine either :(
we only had 6 prefolds and all the rest were flats made from thrifted flannel sheets....they were great!!! I washed them in the bathtub and they dried quckly over night :)
Maybe you could whip up some flats to start with and use the prefolds later....they take forever to dry :(
I like the new social group idea :) although every baby group I have belonged to fizzled anyway....lol
I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy and "take it all in" since it will be my last, but it has been the worst one! Tired very uncomfortable the entire pg! I hope a lunch time swim will perk me up....
32 wks today so close yet sooo far
mom to ds '07 first day of a new year, dd '09 in the caul, and ds '11 at home Oct 24th

Fingerless gloves made of a recycled polyester/spandex blend; with synthetic suede palms.
|Article number:
|In stock
On Ascension Bay, Monomoy Flats or the Beaverhead, a roasting sun means fried hands. Of course, there's always sunscreen, but it tends to make slippery work of casting and line control. The solution is a light fingerless glove made from quick-drying, 30-UPF, 88% all-recycled polyester/12% spandex fabric for the ideal combination of comfort and sun protection. The longer finger design, with pull tabs, reinforced palm and out-of-the-way seams make the Sun Gloves easy to slip on and off. Your hands will thank you.

With the vast majesty of Glacier National Park located just 20 miles (32km) away, Kalispell in northern Montana has become a gateway for adventurers seeking the Rocky Mountains and all things wilderness. Despite the presence of the mountains, Kalispell is an attractive settlement in its own right, resplendent in vintage Italianate architecture that evokes vivid statements of its Wild West past. Kalispell has also become a fixture in the Montana microbrew circuit, with a 10,000 sq.ft craft brewery on the corner of Fourth and Main streets having fast become a big attraction since it first opened its doors back in 2012.
Scrape beneath the surface, and you will discover a handful of art galleries and museums, as well as theatres and music events. Shopping is big business in Kalispell, largely due to the city's lack of sales tax, and visitors are presented with a wide range of boutique stores selling a wealth of local arts and crafts. Looking further afield, the city is surrounded by a number of wineries and distilleries, as well as numerous opportunities for outdoor excursions. Fly fishing is a popular pastime, as is bird watching.

Regarding the rising price of oil, the first point to remember is that the price of oil is not high by historical standards.
I haven't seen an exact calculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if the real price per barrel is maybe half of what it was during the 1970s peak — which itself brought oil to the level of other commodities, tracing from the end of the World War. The oil price had been kept artificially low until the mid-1970s quadrupling of price — which followed a far higher increase in the price of US-produced coal and of US agribusiness products, and was not opposed by the US or the energy corporations for pretty good reasons. Oil and "gas at the pump prices" now are given without adjustment for inflation, which is almost meaningless.
I'm frankly skeptical about the theory you report. I suspect that the oil ministers and analysts are accurate in saying that maybe 1/5 of the price is traceable to investor concerns about security, stemming from the US invasion of Iraq, US support for Israeli expansion into the occupied territories, and al-Qaeda-style attacks on the Saudi monarchy and its whole system. And the rest is easily attributed to normal factors.
It might also be worth noting that there would be great advantages to a much higher price. In our more or less insane quasi-market system, the only means of something like rational planning is market forces. So a very badly needed shift to a sustainable economy cannot be undertaken unless driven by much higher prices. And the problems ahead from irrational use of hydrocarbons might turn out to be extremely severe.

As consumers become less and less responsive to email marketing campaigns from large companies, these companies, in turn, are outsourcing their online marketing efforts to 3rd party specialists.
Epsilon is one such 3rd party firm that handles email marketing for big corporations. In fact, it's the biggest marketing services provider in the world. It reportedly sends over 40 billion emails a year and has over 2500 clients, including Kroger, TiVo, Walgreens, JP Morgan Chase, Capital One, Citi, and Target.
With such high-profile clients and so much consumer data, Epsilon has piqued the interest of cybercriminals who can profit from it, and on March 30th, it sustained a significant attack. A breach took place at Epsilon that, at worst, compromised all of its' clients' mailing lists, and, at best, put them all at risk of being compromised.
According to Epsilon, however, only a subset of their clients' customer information was exposed. It claims that the breach affected just 2% of its clients and that only email addresses and client names were obtained. But even if that's the extent of the damage, the breach could lead to a number of harmful attacks.
Phishing attacks are especially likely given the nature of the information that is now in cybercriminals' hands. Just with client names and email addresses, cybercriminals are capable of launching targeted phishing attacks that are likely to dupe hordes of unsuspecting PC users.
Epsilon's clients have warned their customers about the breach, but the importance of being cautious in these situations can't be overstated. To avoid being a victim, always be suspicious of any emails you receive from companies, even if they look legit. Make sure to inspect emails very carefully before you submit any kind of information. Sadly, it's often the most trusting people who end up getting scammed.

"The worst thing about getting older is watching knowledge die." -- Charlie Gibbs, alt.folklore.computers, 2017-01-13 (Message-ID: <email@example.com> Subject: Re: {wtf} Tymshare SuperBasic Source Code)
Context: a thread about finding source code for old operating systems, and what sort of things get preserved and what gets dumped or burned when old technology is replaced.
Which brings us to back to the question: What is the historical value of old software? Who would be interested in seeing it?
I suppose examples of application programs would be useful with an historical machine, such as a 1401 program with a 1401 computer. But beyond that, I'm not sure.
Charlie Gibbs:
It might be time for this bloatware-infested world to be reminded of simpler but still effective ways of doing things. In particular, techniques for sorting, matching, and merging data seem to be subject to an insidious form of entropy.
The worst thing about getting older is watching knowledge die.

If your commute takes you through downtown, you may have noticed the construction that began Monday morning on 5th Street.
The work that's being done, is similar to the construction that was done on main street and 6th street, which is all part of the beautification of Zanesville's downtown.
"Well they will be removing side curb and sidewalks and installing the underground utility corridor with the decorative brick trim," said Public Service Director, Mike Sims. "So all of the over head power lines will be down and also we will be improving traffic lights and the period decorative street lighting."
5th Street construction is a 1.5 million dollar project, that was awarded to contractor Shelly and Sands. The city is using O-DOT and Ohio Works Commission is funding the pavement part of the project and a nearly $400,000 grant for most of the cost of the project.
"And the cities actual out of pocket on this is going to be less than $73,000, so I think we are doing pretty good; to get a million and half project for 70 some thousand dollars and then we will just continue the beautification of the downtown and keeping everything looking similar."
Sims says the project will be cause a mild inconvenience with short delays. One lane of 5th Street will remain open. Construction will continue until the end of November.

I've been using the Curl and Shine leave in for several months. I bought it because all I remembered from the board was that people like the GF leave-in. I didn't realize there was more than one kind! I like it because a very little amount is all I need (about pea-sized blob) and it doesn't weigh my hair down. I tend to get overconditioned so less moisture works better for me. Your poll didn't include the GF rinse-out conditioner for fine hair. I like it, too, for days when I need a little extra conditioner. It's nice and light, but does a good job of detangling and smoothing.
Couple of inches past shoulder length 3A. Shampoo every 3rd or 4th day w/ baby shampoo; Tigi Fashionista conditioner; back to Condition 3-in-1 mousse . Alternate days water rinse, conditioner and mousse.

Succulent meat, gravy-sopped stuffing, creamy mashed potatoes, and carmelized pie — it's enough to have you reaching for your boyfriend jeans before the holiday party season even gets rolling.
Skipping out on Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings can be next to impossible, but giving in can also result in packing on difficult-to-shed pounds.
Fortunately, there's no need to choose between celebrating and maintaining your weight. With the proper approach, you can have your turkey and wear those skinny jeans, too.
Beverly Hills-based celebrity health counselor Carina Sohaili has developed a master plan for surviving the holiday season without tossing aside your weight goals:
Preparing before the meal:
1. A huge mistake people make is fasting or eating very little until the big meal. This is a recipe for disaster. Make sure your breakfast and lunch combine protein and healthy carbohydrates. When you starve yourself during the day in preparation for a megameal, your body has a much harder time acknowledging when you are actually full. Cravings for sugary, carby sweets also will be intensified.
2. Ditch the all-or-nothing diet mentality. Some people have "cheat" days followed by deprivation days. This causes them to overeat when they "let themselves go." I always hear "I am starting my diet tomorrow." You should erase the term "diet" from your vocabulary. Indulge in a balanced way; if you are craving a serving of stuffing, opt for a small portion, not three servings. Ever notice that the first serving of an amazing food tastes the best? The food is not as good the second or third time around.
3. Remember why you are at the table in the first place. It's not to stuff your face with food! Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and be grateful for the people you are surrounded by. Focus on friends, family, and conversation. The dinner is only one part of the equation.
4. Make time for physical activity even if it is a 20-minute fast walk around the block before dinner. Whether it's a morning jog, a brisk family hike, or a football game, do something to get your sweat on and ramp up your heart rate. Everything counts and something is better than nothing. Make it a family event. Everything is better with a buddy.
What to eat:
1. Fill up on protein … turkey! Go for the light meat instead of dark and skip the skin. Light meat has less saturated fat (the unhealthy kind) than dark meat. Filling up on protein increases your feeling of satisfaction, stabilizes your blood sugar and keeps you fuller for longer. It also prevents you from having thirds, fourths, or fifths of the bad stuff. If you are vegetarian make sure there is a healthy protein option so you don't stuff yourself on stuffing or candied yams.

text: I finally figured out how to enable bluetooth audio in my car. I was so used to the good old aux jack, I never bothered to fiddle with the bluetooth. Anyway, as soon as I start the car, the media player plays and it displays the audio track on my car's navigator screen (BMW). That's cool! Google Listen is a little different. I would have to have it launched, and then it becomes the default and it plays instead of the media player (which is cool, since I use LISTEN mostly). Just two problems. 1) Listen will start as soon as I start the car, but only about 2 seconds. I then have to either press play on the phone, or go into the car's screen and switch out of bluetooth audio and back in, in order to start up Listen again. 2)Listen doesn't display the podcast on the car's screen I wish Android had a better media player by incorporating something like Listen (or a podcast catcher) into the built-in player. Does anyone else have a better recommendation as to how to deal with media? Sucks having to deal with two players only to have the default player fight to be the primary.

White collar fraud in New Zealand is to be targeted more aggressively.
The Serious Fraud Office is to work more closely with the New Zealand Police and the Financial Markets Authority to investigate financial crimes.
Fraud office chief executive Adam Feeley has told Parliament it is hoped deeper ties would enable his Office to get out and find more cases earlier.
There were 46 Serious Fraud Office investigations in the last financial year, 21of which were related to suspected fraud.
Twenty eight cases had been prosecuted by June last year.
