The N Charlotte Toyota Camry has been an extremely popular pick among drivers for years and has even held the title of the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. since 1997. It's been able to hold this top ranking by continuously offering incredible reliability and improving its image, performance and features throughout the years! Now, this new Toyota in N Charlotte is set to receive changes for the 2015 model year and we're finding out some of the details! Although this won't get a complete redesign, the Toyota Camry will be transformed to take it to a whole new level!
We haven't heard many details about the 2015 Toyota Camry, but new information has been leaked and we're super excited about what's to come! Just a few months ago, we found out that this new Toyota in N Charlotte will boast a more "emotional" and "impactful" style; however, we're now just starting to learn what this means!
Like we said, this will just be a refresh for the current Toyota Camry in N Charlotte, which is why we shouldn't expect a dramatic change. This new Toyota in N Charlotte isn't expected to receive a complete redesign until the 2017 or 2018 model year. However, this refreshed model will be revealed very soon at the New York Auto Show on April 16!
Although the Toyota Camry hasn't received a complete redesign since 2012, did you know there were some key changes made this year? It looks the same; however, it received enhancements to its safety that helped it earn a NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating and an IIHS Top Safety Pick! Even if you can't see these changes, you'll definitely be able to feel them with the added peace of mind it offers! Plus, you can expect these improvements to be transferred over to the 2015 model.
Want to know more about this new Toyota? Visit our Toyota dealership at 13429 Statesville Rd. in Huntersville. You can also give our Internet Sales Team a call at (888) 883-3797 with any questions or to set up a test drive! We're open late until 10pm Monday through Saturday and until 8pm on Sunday.

Endoscopic Laser-Based 3D Imaging for Functional Voice Diagnostics
AbstractRecently, we reported on the in vivo application of a miniaturized measuring device for 3D visualization of the superior vocal fold vibrations from high-speed recordings in combination with a laser projection unit (LPU). As a long-term vision for this proof of principle, we strive to integrate the further developed laserendoscopy as a diagnostic method in daily clinical routine. The new LPU mainly comprises a Nd:YAG laser source (532 nm/CW/2

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Guidelines
Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have been issued by the following organizations:
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) [1]
International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) [2]
European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) [3]
Diagnosis and Staging
All three guidelines are in agreement that the diagnosis of CLL requires the presence of ≥5 × 109/L B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and the clonality of the circulating B lymphocytes should be confirmed by flow cytometry. The IWCLL guidelines also require persistence of lymphocytosis for longer than 3 months, while NCCN and ESMO do not. [1, 2, 3]
For adequate immunophenotyping to establish diagnosis by flow cytometry, the NCCN recommends using the cell surface markers kappa/lambda, CD19, CD20, CD5, CD23, and CD10. If flow is used to establish the diagnosis, cytospin for cyclin D1, or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for t(11;14); t(11q;v) should also be included. [1]
The NCCN recommends proceeding with lymph node biopsy if diagnosis is not established by flow cytometry. Diagnosis on lymph node biopsy requires immunophenotyping of CD3, CD5, CD10, CD20, CD23, and cyclin D1. [1]
ESMO guidelines note that leukaemia cells are characteristically small, mature-appearing lymphocytes with a narrow border of cytoplasm and a dense nucleus lacking discernible nucleoli, and having partially aggregated chromatin. Larger, atypical lymphocytes or prolymphocytes cannot exceed 55%. [3]
The IWCLL guidelines also allow for the diagnosis of CLL in the presence of a cytopenia caused by clonal bone marrow involvement regardless of the peripheral B-lymphocyte count. [2]
Additional tests recommended prior to initiation of treatment include:
Determination of CD38 and ZAP-70 expression by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry [1]
TP53 sequencing [1]
The NCCN considers the following essential in the workup of patients diagnosed with CLL [1] :
Physical exam with attention to node-bearing areas, including Waldeyer ring, and to size of liver and spleen
Performance status determination
B symptoms assessment
Complete blood count and comprehensive metabolic panel
Hepatitis B testing if CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy contemplated
MUGA scan/echocardiogram if an anthracycline- or anthracenedione-based regimen is indicated
Pregnancy testing in women of childbearing age, if chemotherapy is planned
For staging, all three guidelines recommend use of either the Rai system or the Binet system. [1, 2, 3]
The guidelines are in agreement that patients with early-stage CLL should not be treated with chemotherapy until they become symptomatic or display evidence of rapid progression of disease. [1, 2, 3]
Patients at low risk and intermediate risk (ie, Rai stages 0-II) who have no indications for treatment should be observed. Blood cell counts and clinical examinations should be performed every 3–12 months. Indications for treatment include the following:
Significant disease-related symptoms (eg, fatigue, night sweats, weight loss, fever without infection)
Threatened end-organ function
Progressive bulky disease
Progressive anemia
Progressive thrombocytopenia
Therapy recommendations for patients at high risk (ie, Rai stages III-IV) and progressive cytopenia are based on the following:
Patient age
Patient comorbidities
Presence or absence of del(11q)
Presence or absence of del(17p)
NCCN category 1 recommendations (based on high-level evidence, with uniform NCCN consensus that the intervention is appropriate) for treatment of CLL without del(11q) or del(17p) are as follows [1] :
Patients <70 years, without significant comorbidities: FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab)
Patients ≥70 years and younger patients with significant comorbidities: Obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil
Relapsed or refractory disease: Ibrutinib
For CLL with del(11q), the NCCN recommends the following [1] :
Patients ≥70 years and younger patients with significant comorbidities: Obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil (category 1)
Patients <70 years without significant comorbidities: FCR; bendamustine with or without rituximab; PCR (pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, rituximab); or obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil
CLL patients with del (17p) have a poor prognosis and there is no clear standard of care. The NCCN guidelines suggest the following regimens (in order of preference) as first-line treatment [1] :
HDMP (high-dose methylprednisolone) plus rituximab
Obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil
Alemtuzumab with or without rituximab
The ESMO guidelines note that patients with del (17p) have a poor response to fludarabine and short survival and instead recommend initial treatment with alemtuzumab or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. ESMO guidelines also recommend allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with very-high-risk p53 mutation and/or refractory disease. [3]

Through a contribution of $20, Pahokee farmer Bob Simonson is helping to guarantee that his 100 acres of sugar cane turn a profit this year.
``The money counts in Washington and it counts in the state, too,`` Simonson, a grower since 1961, said of his donation to the Florida Sugar Cane League.
``But just two or three people putting in $20 bills isn`t going to get the job done.``
Simonson is lucky. He is not alone.
With six sugar industry groups among the nation`s 20 wealthiest agricultural political action committees, the sugar lobby is one of the most potent forces on the government scene.
And, critics say, it is through contributions to candidates -- hundreds of them from Alaska to Florida -- that the controversial industry stays alive.
``They can afford to give away a lot of money because they`re ripping off so much,`` charged John McClaughry, a former senior policy adviser on agriculture for the Reagan administration.
``If they didn`t take so much, they couldn`t give,`` added McClaughry, now a political consultant in Vermont.
A News and Sun-Sentinel review of reports filed with the Federal Election Commission and a new study by a consumer group shows:
-- Sugar-related political action committees contributed $1.4 million to U.S. House members from 1983 through March 1986.
-- Seven of the top 10 House recipients of sugar contributions during this period were members of the key Agriculture Committee.
-- House members who voted against a White House-backed initiative to cut the industry`s price supports received almost nine times more sugar dollars than those who voted in favor.

WASHINGTON — Faced with the loss of stimulus aid, state and local governments are hoping the economy will rebound in time to support their budgets and defuse market concerns over credit downgrades and possible bond defaults, market participants said in their outlooks for 2011.
Government officials, who saw positive tax revenues return in the second half of 2010, are hoping the upswing will gain momentum in 2011. The revenue growth could be further supported with stock market gains and higher employment, they said.
On the other hand, funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will be exhausted next year, leaving governments to overcome a cliff of falling revenues in fiscal 2012, which begins on July 1 for most of them. Many sources said this is the number-one concern facing state and local governments for the coming year.
Citing the budget gap concerns, Moody's Investors Service will maintain its negative outlook on the state and local government sector in 2011, said managing director Robert Kurtter. The other major rating agencies do not have outlooks for the overall state and local government sector.
Specifically, the Build America Bond program, which was not extended past Dec. 31 by the new tax law enacted earlier in the month, will likely mean that municipal debt issuance in 2011 will be lower than this year's record amount. Additionally, the loss of the higher small issuer limit for bank-qualified bonds may raise borrowing costs for small issuers, sources said.
"The trajectory is in the right direction," said Scott Pattison, executive director of the National Association of State Budget Officers. State revenues will grow by an aggregate 4% to 5% in 2011, he said.
"The big question is, how significant is the loss of the recovery act funds?" he asked. States still face budget deficits and "really tough fiscal choices," he said, adding, "There's just not going to be enough money" for some states.
State tax revenues rose 2.6% in the third quarter from the same period the previous year on an inflation-adjusted basis, according to a recent report from the Rockefeller Institute of Government. It was the third straight quarter states reported year-over-year tax growth, though some of the gains came from tax increases.
"Clearly, revenue has stabilized and is beginning to grow modestly," said Donald J. Boyd, a senior fellow at Rockefeller and co-author of the report.
Stronger consumer spending is helping state sales taxes, Boyd said. The employment market "remains pretty weak" but has stabilized, compared to last year, he said. However, "the fiscal crisis continues" as states are losing most of their stimulus funding and as budget writers struggle to find additional spending to cut, he said.
State and local finances historically lag the national recovery and this time is no different, sources agreed. As of Sept. 30, state and local spending had increased for two consecutive quarters for the first time since the second and third quarters of 2008.
But state and local growth has been anemic compared to the federal government's roaring expansion of spending.
While nationally, jobs grew in 2010, state and local governments continue to see them bleed away. State and local payrolls were cut by 198,000 between January and November, according to the Labor Department. Nagging unemployment will continue to stress government budgets, principally their income tax collections, sources said.
"The biggest risk is that revenues won't rebound quickly," said Elizabeth McNichol, a senior fellow at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, and a co-author of a Dec. 13 report on state budgets.
Uphill Battle
McNichol's report shows that states face an uphill battle on budget gaps in fiscal 2012.
Forty states have projected fiscal 2012 budget gaps totaling $113 billion. California and Illinois, the two lowest-rated states, face $19.2 billion and $17 billion shortfalls, respectively, for fiscal 2012.
By the time funds from the Recovery Act are fully exhausted, federal aid will have filled 30% to 40% of projected state shortfalls, according to the CBPP report. About $60 billion of ARRA funding remains for states in fiscal 2011, the report said. Only $6 billion will remain for fiscal 2012.
A jobs law enacted in August extended enhanced Medicaid funding to states through June 2011 and added $10 billion to the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, a one-time appropriation provided by ARRA to help stabilize state and local government budgets.
Further, some states may get stung by the extension of federal income tax rate cuts. The recently passed tax act, which will continue the Bush tax cuts for all income levels for two years, could cost states $11 billion over that period due to the interaction of state and federal tax codes, McNichol said.
"We've got the cliff beginning with [fiscal] 2012," as federal aid expires, said Raymond C. Scheppach, executive director of the National Governors Association. Even with the nascent economic recovery, state revenues won't return to their 2008 levels until 2013 or 2014, he said.
Governors are not looking for additional federal aid in fiscal 2012, he said. Instead, they will be focused on pension reform and generating additional revenues, he said. States may try to get more sales tax revenues from service transactions and goods sold online.
"This 'great recession' was just a game-changer," he said. States "are moving from survival mode" to "long-run sustainability."
Twenty-nine states are welcoming new governors in 2011. There is a concern that some of the new governors will "make choices that slow down the economic recovery by cutting essential services and looking just at the spending side of the budget," McNichol said. She and other sources agreed that the November mid-term elections signaled that Americans are in no mood for tax increases.
"There's not much public support for [taxes] now," agreed Sheppach, who will leave NGA early next year to join the University of Virginia.
Pattison said the strengthening revenue picture could present a different challenge in some states. Legislators may demand governors ease off of spending cuts amid the rising revenues, even though the cuts may be vital to ensure a state's fiscal stability. New governors may face resistance from the legislatures as state economies improve, he said.
New capital projects are likely off the table for now, sources said.
"I don't see many states having the capacity to even consider anything other than token spending projects," Boyd said.
The investor community has become more cautious about credit risk and is scrutinizing issuers closely. Mary P. Talbutt-Glassberg, vice president and fixed-income portfolio manager at Davison Trust Co., said she has limited general obligation bond buying to credits rated double-A general or better. She is also scrutinizing issuers to see how much cash they have on reserve and whether they have capacity to issue more debt if needed.
Conventional thinking used to be that municipal bonds defaulted very rarely, Glassberg said. But "the last two years have burst the bubble of history," she said.
Glassberg said she also has sworn off revenue or tax anticipation notes because there is "no guarantee" those notes can be rolled over into longer-term debt.
States that have borrowed with short-term notes may have trouble refinancing that debt next year, given that interest rates are expected to rise, Sheppach said.
Even for the most troubled states, a default is not an option, Pattison said. States, which cannot declare bankruptcy under current laws, will find ways to cut spending and guarantee bondholders are repaid, he said. But that may not work on the local level, he said.
The market may see more local governments bailed out by their states, similar to Pennsylvania's aid program for Harrisburg that was approved in December, Glassberg said.
Harrisburg was approved for a state program that allows the city to implement new revenue streams to raise new money. The city did not include debt-service funding in its fiscal 2011 budget for a struggling incinerator project.
In general, states "won't be very quick" to help local borrowers "because of the precedent" set — that one bailout could provoke more, Sheppach said.
Counties and Cities
Recovery for local governments may take even longer than for states. Historically, city general funds take 18 to 24 months to recover after a national economic rebound has been confirmed, according to the National League of Cities.
Local governments face two sources of stress next year — declining revenues from property taxes and cuts in state transfer payments.
Property taxes, the largest revenue source collectively for local governments, are falling as property values are reassessed. Properties are assessed over time, so the impact on revenues will likely drag out.
"Clearly, that lag is setting in," Moody's Kurtter said. This revenue pressure on local governments is expected "to continue if not accelerate into 2011," he said.
Additionally, local governments on average get half of their local school money from states, Kurtter said.
These "two main revenue sources, which can account for 90% of what local governments get, are both going to be constrained" in 2011, he said.
Throughout the economic recession and recovery, local governments are in the unenviable position of "being at the bottom of the food chain" for revenue aid, said Tim Firestine, the chief administrative officer of Montgomery County, Md., and former vice chair of the Government Finance Officers Association's debt committee.
Montgomery County, like other counties, faces a budget gap for fiscal 2012. The gap is expected to be $300 million, Firestine said, down from a $900 million gap in fiscal 2011. But its economy has recovered going into 2011. Home foreclosures are down, property values are increasing, and the county has added 6,000 jobs this year, he said.
Still, spending cuts are imminent. "We're at a point now where it's really hard to make the cuts," Firestine said.
As for debt issuance in 2011, Firestine said the lack of BABs plus potentially higher interest rates may "reevaluate how large we size our [bond] issues."
"We're going to start pulling back on the $300 million" of debt the county typically issues a year, he said.
Debt issuance among smaller issuers may be scaled back as the higher bank-qualified limit expires. For the last two years, banks can deduct 80% of the costs of buying and carrying tax-exempt debt sold by borrowers who issue up to $30 million a year. Previously, the small issuer limit was $10 million.
In Redmond, Wash., a $15 million park acquisition deal was postponed this year and may cost more next year without the higher limit for bank-qualified bonds, said Michael Bailey, Redmond's finance director and member of the GFOA executive board.
"The higher bank-qualified limit would help create more market for bonds and would result in lower interest rates" for small issuers, he said.

The data and security of smart phone handsets can be compromised in a variety of ways if suitable security systems, settings and best practices are not implemented.
EBM's security team offers two key services regarding handset security:
Configuration Review
Security configurations vary from handset model to model. EBM offer a thorough check of the handset to test whether its security configuration is set up in line with the best industry practices.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is a method for identifying vulnerabilities in a mobile device and exploiting such vulnerabilities. Our controlled testing principally covers attack scenarios including:
"Lost-Phone" – a test of how vulnerable the handset is to data and information loss in the event of handset loss.
"Man-in-the-Middle Attack" – a test of the vulnerability of the handset to a technical attack by a malicious third party.
"Socially Engineered Attack" – a test of the vulnerability of the handset support systems to socially engineered attacks by a malicious third party.
Following the rigorous testing full reports are delivered to the client outlining vulnerabilities found and recommended remedial action.
Clients requiring Mobile Phone Handset Security services typically include key principals and senior management of organizations and individuals who travel frequently.

On Twitter, the Web 2.0 water-cooler, most of the discussion has revolved around the ways in which the new search service sucks — or rather, is an "epic fail," as the kids like to say. Searching for the company's own name doesn't turn up the search engine's website (Doh!), and searching for other common terms or names either doesn't turn up anything, or a small number of inadequate and/or stupid results. The site is down. The whole Irish legend about Finn and the salmon of knowledge is weird. There's no way it can compete against Google — and so on.
At the risk of being seen as not critical enough, I'm going to throw a vote out there for Cuil. I think the service sounds like an interesting alternative to Google, or Yahoo or MSN for that matter — not that I ever use those services, of course. I don't particularly care about the size of Cuil's index (insert double entendre here). But I am interested in having alternatives for search. For me, it's about finding what I want quickly, and the reality is that Google continues to be littered with poor quality results. If Cuil can solve that problem, then I hope they stick around.

Postmen in South London are refusing to deliver to some South London flats unless they are accompanied by an elderly Liberal Democrat Councillor. The Royal Mail did not deliver to the Rowland Hill estate unless 69-year-old Cllr Maria Linforth-Hall comes offers them protection against a problem tenant.
The problems on the estate started when Rachel O'Connor a 34-year-old resident was accused of assaulting one of the postmen. For six months postal services were suspended, and with deliveries instead being left as the local sorting office, a bus ride away.
Three months ago Cllr Linforth-Hall and a team of other ladies stepped in to personally provide the security team the postmen needed. The team of ladies normally handle things on their own but sometimes the Councillor's husband Tony comes for backup.
She waits for the delivery three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Southwark Council has complained to regulator Ofcom in the hope of forcing Royal Mail to reinstate a proper service. Cllr Linforth-Hall told the Daily Mail: "We are hoping that it will be back to normal, but they are saying that it is unsafe without me or my fellows there to assist."
In a recent letter to residents, the Royal Mail explained the situation: "In November 2012 a resident sent a series of complaints to the Royal Mail which became increasingly abusive and threatening … in June 2014 the resident assaulted our delivery officer in the lifts. In December the tyres on our vehicle were slashed … whilst this may be coincidental I am sure you will understand our concerns."
The OAPs are understood to be undeterred by the catalogue of incidents, despite having no prior security or military training. Perhaps the older generation are just a tougher breed.

About St. Mary's Services
A Brief History
In 1887, the St. Mary's Home for Children was established. Working towards providing a protected place for children to live and thrive has been at the center of what all of us do. Various programs have been instituted were started to accomplish this goal. St. Mary's has provided many services for newborn infants, foster children, birth parents and adoptive families of all races and religions.
By the mid-1940's orphanages gave way to foster home care and offices were opened on Kenmore Avenue in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. Gradually, foster care was phased out and what was to become St. Mary's Services evolved, focusing primarily on services for birth parents in need and families looking to adopt.
Now located in the Northwest Suburban Area of Chicago, the agency focuses resources and energies in five primary areas:
- Maternity counseling and casework for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies and considering adoption
- Counseling and facilitation for couples pursuing adoption
- Education and community awareness of adoption as a positive, loving option
- A comprehensive teen parenting program in high schools and community centers
- Counseling for women with postpartum depression, grief and loss (miscarriage, stillborn, post-adoption, post-abortion), and difficulty transitioning into motherhood

What makes me ready?
When someone mentions getting children ready for school, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Reading skills? learning how to write? Kindergarten readiness is so much more than just the ABCs.
Did you know that school readiness begins before you are even born? Proper prenatal care and a healthy pregnancy help to ensure a healthy baby.
Did you ever think that school readiness should be thought about as soon as a baby is born? Recent research suggest that school readiness interventions might come too late if they start after the child is three years old" (Lally 2010, 1). Having the mindset of school readiness when a baby is born allows for a strong foundation of learning for years to come.
Did you know that a child's health and nutrition play a critical role in making sure they are ready for Kindergarten?
Building each developmental stage allows for children to become secure, healthy, and ready to embark in learning. Making sure their first five years are filled with environments rich in positive interactions, expands their ideas, and builds their cognitive thinking to prepare them for a successful future.
Working together as a community can build a system that supports children in learning beginning from the time they are conceived, giving them a SMART BEGINNING.

Here are a few manips I made for fun before venturing into motion maniping.
This Final Crisis one took a while because of wonderwoman. I grabbed season 1 on Netflix just to
find that pose of her folding her arms. Don't ask why.
Kingdom Come graphic novel blew me away back in the summer of 96. I remember reading the last issue in a coffee shop on 3rd Market San Francisco. My eyes were bulging out of they're sockets as I scanned and read each epic page. Pure epic. Inspired, I made this manip with my fantasy cast for a Kingdom Come movie.

Milly Foster, Macabre Investigator tells the story of former English Lit teacher Milly Foster who must wade into the unusual world of Macabre Investigation if she wants to keep eating.
The series is presented by MisfitsAudio, written and directed by Mike Murphy, and edited by Jake Lewsey.
I'm not super proud of my post-production in this episode, but Mike's writing is spot on as always and the performances are nice. It's a good episode so I feel like I let it down a little compared to my previous work on the series.

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a project as part of a Stampendous! and Beacon Adhesives blog collaboration.
Fast Finish Decoupage Glue• Perfect decoupage medium for almost any surface–wood, plastics, metal, cardboard, glass, ceramics, terra cotta, paper marche, & so much more.
• Dries fast to a tack-free, crystal clear, gloss finish. Never yellows or becomes brittle. No strong or unpleasant odor.
And I'll tell you what I love about it: it's liquid.. Like water.. Not like Mod Podge or similar products! It's goes on thin and you're not left with a gloopy mess. Colour me impressed for sure! Are you ready to see what I made?
The coolest bangle ever!!!!!!!!!! And it seriously took no time. I misted the wooden bangle with Dylusion mists, stamped with Staz-on Ink (using Cling Faith Characters) and set with two coats of fast finish. I've worn it for two days now and it's stood up to water/wear-and-tear and it looks brand new.
Check out the blogs below and the Stampendous! Blog all week for projects made with Beacon Adhesives!
(We'll draw random comments from random blogs to win your own Fast Finish and stamps, so you can try this great product.)

I do not know why someone would be with sprint from a plan service perspective. I have been a customer ONE day and listen to my story;
Purchased blackery, 300 minutes a month, 300 sms messages, and unlimited web and email. They said I would have a $125 spending limit. I pay $249 for the phone; happy as a clam I await my purchase.
Next day, I see the status online claims my phone was activated and shipped.
I get the phone the next day! WOW, that was fast. I open the box and a nice red letter tells me my phone was locked during shipping, here is your new number, here is your unlock key.
I put the battery in. I see the phone is actually NOT activated. No biggie, I will read the manual and do that.
I am told to dial*2, and all will be peachy. I dial the number, and I get a message asking if I am a new or existing customer. I say existing, I get a message, my phone number is not in their db, click I am gone.
So I call back again, a little concerned. I then state I am a new customer, and I get routed to a sales person. I tell them I ordered the phone, and the activation would not work. He then claimed he did not see me in one database, and he would have to take a few minutes to look in another.
After 5 minutes, he states, I must be in a database he does not have access to, and he will transfer me to another person.
I get transferred to the next person. A lady with a slight Indian accent. After one hour, she says she will have to program my phone. Could she call me at a different number than the phone. Sure, I give her my number, now very concerned.
She calls me, after I hang-up. Then she puts me on hold for over one hour while she says she is doing something.
One hour later she comes on, thanks me for the long wait. Says, she can do nothing, and will have to transfer me to her partner. I am a little hot. I bite my tongue. I then get transferred, this time the lady has an accent that is unintelligible, and the connection is like she is standing down the hall. I have to AGAIN remove my battery, find the ESN number (why would their system not transfer that). She then does the WORST job of trying to talk me through programming my OWN phone. In 20 years of IT, 3 of it in owning an ISP, so I know what phone support SHOULD be, we get my phone activated. She says though, that I have to wait three hours before using it, because I need to get updates.
I thought my pain was over. I thought I was in Nirvana.
Three hours later, I decide I will set up my email. What no browser link, no email link? Isn't that what the blackberry is for?
I decide to look on the web see if others have had this happen. I so did NOT want to call their support again.
After researching it showed I have no services programmed, and I would need to call their support, if after going to Sprints website and requesting them to resend them did not work. Guess what, it didn't LOL
I called them again. I told the new person (at least this one I could her and understand) my pain. So 45 minutes later we change the network info on my phone and get my services installed. She then notices that I do not have internet access on my phone. I said what, I bought the unlimited plan. She says it is not on my account. I told her I downloaded opera trying to resend the services myself. If I didn't have internet access, how could I do that? She said without the service I can still use the web, I am just paying a premium rate? Shocked, I said I bought it on your website. It told me there would be these charges. She said she saw all except that. She said she would remove any previous web charges and set me up with the web and email unlimited plan.
I am asked how my experience was; laughing I say if I have no more problems it is fine.
So I set up my email, go to sleep. I wake up the next morning. I check my email on the phone. That is great. I then go to call my voicemail. I get a message my phone has been shut off for non-payment or I have exceeded my credit limit! What how could that be. I am transferred to finance. He claims he sees a 300 dollar charge. It appears like I did not pay for my phone. What I paid $249 for the phone; I saw the charge on my corporate Visa. I rant now for 20 minutes, making sure someone at Sprint feels my pain. He claims he is in Finance and can do NOTHING to help me. I ask him, if I take my phone back today to a Sprint store, what will I owe. He said just for any calls, maybe $30. I tell him my only calls were to his support people. He offers to transfer me to customer service. I tell him that has messed up in setting up my phone that has made mistakes in regards to my plans; they have now made billing mistakes. There is no way after one day of Sprint service would I stay a customer.
The only positive is that I did not cancel my Verizon, which I have had with ZERO issues for 7 years.

Forever Love Trust
Release Date: July 19, 2012
Running Time: 2:03
Condoms: None
Producer: Stuart Wall
Director: Jim Powers
Cast: Brooklyn Lee, Bailey Blue, Heather Starlett, Krissy Lynn, Madison Ivy & Marie McCray
About The DVD
In, "Forever Love Trust", Smash Pictures enters a new dimension of their many different and well done dvd series. Here, they deliver an outstanding love story with a great cast, excellent script and of course awesome sex. This is a pre release review and "Forever Love Trust" releases, July 19, 2012. So, this will give you a great overview on what it has to offer.
Brooklyn Lee
As the movie opens, Brooklyn Lee is beginning with very passionate sex. As things continue and her pussy is worked on orally, she has tremendous response in every way including the movement of her hips. Her oral skills, were strong as she uses spit and lots of hand stroking. The views of her ass as she slams in cowgirl, will have you stroking every second right wit her. After a passionate and exciting all around of fucking, Brooklyn, takes a load of cum on her pussy. Here we find that they were celebrating their engagement and from there the story begins.
Positions: Oral, Missionary, Spooning, Cowgirl
Heather Starlett
Once ready to leave a party, Heather heads off to the bedroom for a all around strong session of sucking and fucking. There was excellent energy by Heather during every moment and with skills that will have you busting your nut several times over. Orally, she does a great job in teasing the head of his cock, followed by some great sucking. Fucking was fantastic in every position but the way she drove her pussy deep on his cock, will have you putting a load right on the screen. Bringing a great scene to an end, she takes every bit of his load deep in her mouth.
Positions: Oral, Spooning, Cowgirl, Missionary, Cum In Mouth
Bailey Blue & Madison Ivy
During the movie, there was a lot of talk of threesomes. Bailey, secretly sets one up with her boyfriend that includes Madison. The two girls start off exploring each other with lots of kissing. Orally they begin by both working his cock at the same time, with lots of licking, followed by Bailey sucking his cock while Madison, sucks on his balls. The two of them working his cock over, will have you stroking solid and you watch. As the two girls, worked him over they also worked on each other at the same time. And you will see everything from Madison, aggressively licking Bailey's pussy while taking a pounding at the same time. When, Bailey had a load of cum layered on her ass, Madison follows by licking it all off. Great scene, great chemistry and all around fucking great sex.
Positions: Oral, Spooning, Cowgirl, Doggie, Missionary
Krissy Lynn
Krissy, makes a strong addition to the dvd and sexually in every aspect. Watching oral on her was fantastic with her response, expression and entire body movements. When she works a cock over, OMG does she ever and with lots of aggression and leaving no part of his cock alone. The entire time Krissy fucks, her energy was strong and she was very vocal in her responses. Leaving nothing out, she takes his load of cum on her great bobbies.
Positions: Oral, Cowgirl, Missionary, Spooning
Marie McCray
Marie, feeling sorry for Eric and breaking the engagement off. Shares with him her always true feelings she has had for him. After starting and then stopping, the second time they go for it and experience sex together for the very first time. As she had her sweet pussy worked on orally her response will have you shooing you load right from the start. As she worked his cock over, she leaves nothing out and covers every inch of his cock. Fucking strong in every position, Marie takes a nice load of cum all over her sweet ass. This scene delivered a non stop jerk off scene from beginning to end.
Audio & Video: Once again, Director: Jim Powers delivers the highest quality in both the non sex segments and in the sex scenes, with awesome close ups the will have you grabbing for the screen.
My Final Thoughts
Producer: Stuart Wall, Director: Jim Powers and a perfect cast has brought us a great dvd in "Forever Love Trust". The chemistry of the cast was perfect and each one not only delivered excellent acting skills, but held their character through every moment, including the sex. It's a great story and is perfect for couples or alone to jerk off watching. The sex is a little bit at times more passionate, but that is a good thing. It is great to see something different with script and sex instead of one sex scene after the other. Across the board, you can't go wrong with the entire content of "Forever Love Trust" and it is certainly an "XCritic Pick" in my book. This is a pre release review and "Forever Love Trust" releases, July 19, 2012. So be sure to pre-order your copy today.

Plus a free weekend and if you play before the 13th, you get free ingame earbuds
Cool! I just realized it was free for a few days after playing Arkham Asylum.
Plus: 400th post!
Only if you're on a Mac, sadly...
Crappy new menus with popups and a removed "mat_picmip -10" option for PC users.
It's gone down to $2.49 before, but I forgot what occasion it was. May have been a class update? 10 sounds pretty good to me though.
We Macs get a free "FLAME ME" sign stuck to our characters! I love it.
First server I joined after the update, as soon as I got the headphones my entire team started meleeing me.
Not suprised..
Can you even notice the headphones?
Lol well this is really good for macs I have TF2 but this laptop can run it at minimum but it lags like fuck and can barely move....
Gifted this to my bro, so we can play together.
Also can't wait till the Mac vs PC servers start popping up everywhere.
They're noticable. They even make tiny musical notes that come outta them.
And that < $3 sale was for a Thanksgiving/Holidays sale. It'll probably happen again around then. Not for a while.
You can kind of see my headphones at 0:35.

I imagine only a few people will read a post about committees but they've been taking up so much of my life this week I feel like I should explain what I've been up to!
I'm on the Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee. It's one of the forums that holds government to account by quizzing ministers in depth and undertaking detailed investigations into areas of departmental responsibility.
At the moment we have three inquiries underway. One on productivity where I've been pushing for small businesses and self employed to be included, this will be released early next year. We also have a detailed inquiry going on into skills and higher education. And finally we've done an emergency report into the collapse of the steel industry which is out on Monday.
And then I get put onto a bill committee too! This is where an act of parliament passes through its second reading in the Commons or Lords and goes 'into committee'. Here we scrutinise the Bill line by line. Yes, line by painstaking line! Sound exciting?! Actually, it can be amazing because you get to challenge government ministers on very particular parts of legislation.
This morning I had a Select Committee meeting on our higher education inquiry, and then ran straight into the Bill Committee for the Charities Bill. I spent much of the weekend getting ready for these committees because I've learned that the more information you have in your head the more likely you are to make a difference when your moment comes.
Some of you might remember that I was on a Bill committee soon after being elected. Looking back I can see how wet behind the ears I was! This time I was much better at trusting my instincts and getting stuck in. So when a whip turned to me and said, 'Peter we need you to do a speech NOW!' I wasn't totally gripped by fear as before but actually loved the chance to weigh in on an issue I care so much about.
Charities are under attack by the government. The gagging law stops them from speaking out in the run-up to elections. The previous charities minister told charities to 'get back to their knitting'. And now there are dangers that this Bill will clamp down further on charities who speak truth to power. So for me it was a privilege to be able to challenge the minister. And then challenge again. And again....and again all morning and most of the afternoon!
Then I had to run out into the chamber where I asked ministers why trade unions were not included in the newly announced Apprenticeship Institute. And then back into committee again!
If you want to keep up to date with what I say in the House of Commons, the link below is a great place to start. You can even subscribe to an email which updates you when I speak in parliament if you like.
Parliament goes into recess on Thursday which is why everything's happening at once at the moment, and to be honest I can't wait to get back to Hove and Portslade this week and work from my office there.
Forgive a long post about committees....well done if you've read this far! I just wanted to let you know what I'm up to. Soon I'll be able to go through recent posts and respond to more of the comments there when things calm down a little. I hope all's well for you in the manic build up to Christmas. All the best, Peter
