I started receiving harassing phone calls to return the truck early, 5 minutes after leaving with the truck. I had 4 calls that hung up after 2 rings and when I called back, all I could get was a busy signal. I called in and got a call center who said she would do something about the harassment and she did get a person to call me about it. I spoke to someone who said that he hadn't been calling me and he understood I had it rented for the full day. An hour later I got another phone call and I spoke to an associate telling me I had to bring it back early.
I told him I had paid for a full day not only 7 hours.
I am not at all happy. I will be speaking to the manager about this this morning in person.

NO I won't be renting from this place ever again!!!!!!
I was in and out of this location very quickly but the gentleman who checked us in offered no explanation or solution to our having to pick up the trailer at a different location than reserved at. Frustrated with the guaranteed reservation system!
don't charge me a fee for the enviroment. where is this going? Really it cost me 300 dollars to drive 130 miles? and then they didn't have the size i wanted and i had to haul my stuff without a ramp.
This was so convenient and reasonably priced! Thank you!
excellent job
24 hour access was not explained to me and when I arrived after hours with a U-Haul truck to unload my furniture. I was unable to until the next day during business hours.
The vehicles were dirty inside. Mud and dirt on almost everything. Also need to check the tire pressures, especially if there is a warning light on. The associates were very helpful and polite.
We arranged for a 17ft truck, they informed us we wouldn't be able to get one till sunday, we ended up losing a good part of the weekend. When we went to get our truck, they informed us that they bumped us down to a 14ft truck.... if we would have known this, we would have gotten the 14 ft on saturday. They then tried to "make it up to us" by giving us the weekday rate, that they were going to give to us any ways, being asvwevwere not able to get our truck till sunday afternoon. Then to top it all off, they tried charging us for 258 miles, when we only used 58. I will be renting from another company for our future move.
The employees at the facility were very helpful. It was the easiest experience I ever had dealing with the UHaul company. That location, is highly recommended by me.
Great and friendly employees.
No wait for getting truck same with check in.
Great job keep up great work.
Thanks. To all great job.
None that i can think of thay were nice and helpful
The employees were great!
I was very happy with my service
Prices are to high
Just so so. Not bad. Not great.
Better explanation of how the contract works and that additional fees will be added as you go along.
Improve UHaul internal software to allow the renter to use the credit card information for the rental reservation to be used for the actual rental agreement.
The staff at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Minot were very helpful and quickly found a blown fuse in my truck for the trailer lights. I recommend this location based on their excellent customer service.
Nothing. Great workers.
e-mailed me right away the next morning with a confirmation they had the the trailer
We were very pleased with the service received. Thank you kindly.
Truck wasn't full of gas when starting but I to have worked in the rental business and know that's kind of the new thing. "Bring the truck back at the level you got it" full tank is always nice and easy though
The pick up and drop off went just great. My thanks.
The guys that was there on my of arrival so nice they took time to answer all my questions and explain things to me overall my experience was great.
My u-haul storage experience was very good.
I like the junk pile for customer`s Somebody through away just the item I needed that I couldn`t find anywhere else.
Beautiful location and staff was friendly and helpful.
Best UHaul location in Minot. Thanks Guys.
mixed reviews here. the came right out and checked the truck in. while checking me in I was over on the miles, when asked about the extra miles caused from the break down I was told there was nothing that could be done. Sure there is, credit me for the extra miles. Beyond her authority. Over all a good experience. will be back for the next move, in 16 months.
The customer service was good. The only suggestion is for the sales person to offer options to the customer. For example, I asked if the small truck was available. They said no and gave me the price for the one that was available. I said no thanks and would shop for the cheaper one. My friend asked when the small one would be back and turns out it was coming back that day. I think the rep should have told me that. If my friend wasn't there, I would have walked out instead of renting and picking up the next morning.
Keep up the good work
I should not have to pay extra to access my stuff after business hours.
Make sure Uhaul truck is ready for the road.
it cost $60 to rent a $29 truck. the hidden fees make me feel like I got cheated. I think you should be more upfront with what it actually cost
The staff at both Minot and Grand Forks Locations we're very professional and helpful. This is what customer service is supposed to look like.. If I could I would recommend all for raises with promotions...they're ready!!!
staff was very efficient. Checking vehicle out and back in was very quick. Excellent location and selection of vehicles.
Had problems with my drop off location. Called Minot and let them know the issues and they were so great. They handled the situation for me and I was very grateful. Definitely great customer service. Thank you
They gave our truck away . Had to wait until next day to pick up a smaller one after had reservation atleast three weeks . Second time this has happened to us !
I don't know anything.
Never received quality inspection form to fill out for our U-Haul truck and trailer, which was previously damaged prior to our pick up. Was not informed on specific mile requirements on cross-country travel or the fact that we would be charged additional fees for any mileage over the allowed estimate. This is the first time I have moved cross country with U-Haul and I would never recommend it to anyone. I was very disappointed in the lack of information given my your company.
This uhaul saved my entire trip after a person from the marina location across from sportman's loft nearly destroyed it. They were heart felt, helpful, dedicated, and had great customer service. The marina location never called and went home early for the day and left me stranded, then I called the Fargo headquarters to see how to alleviate the problem and the woman in short words said she couldn't do anything.
The location at N. Broadway as said before was great and helped me find a truck and trailer. If it wasn't for them I would have never used uhaul again.
Very good customer service !
The location is excellent & the UHaul employee's were extremely helpful and friendly!! The only problem I had was that the trailer I rented had 3 out of 4 tires that were so different, it was very hard to keep the trailer from fish-tailing & bouncing all over the road? I could barely do 55??? I still would have no problems using UHaul for my next move!! This was the only time I have had any complaints!
Better break down of the charges that are incurred with a rental. I came in expecting to pay 30$ for the truck and 15 for the insurance. Ended up spending over 100 for one day. I feel like if it was better advertised what extra charges I would be paying I would've been more prepared and a more satisfied customer. I felt a little deceived, and rushed into signing the contract and reading the pin pad.
Service was great but the parking lot is not paved and was very muddy...horrible
Everything went real good. I have no suggestions for improvement .
Had a storage unit for about a year, never a problem processing a payment, no damage to my property, no negative experience whatsoever.
Everything worked good.
Very fast, easy effortless checkin
Maintain the customer service
Need more people to not wait so long when getting the truck and when dropping it back off
staff was very friendly and helpful. I think some had not been working there long and needed to ask for help. But I was treated well and return was easy.
I wish all business managers could run their business this well. Everyone was extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. Would definitely recommend this U-Haul location!!! It was a pleasure doing business with them.
Don't change anything. It's fine.
Slow customer service
I told the guy when I went to drop off the enclosed trailer that I had a problem with the breaks each time I attempted to go in reverse. He then asked me to back the trailer into a spot with other trailers. One not my job and two yes they locked up on me again. At which point I said I would unhook the trailer and push it back for him and that's when a younger employee said no need sir and took over.
Faster service seemed to be ignored when I arrived waited a long time to be helped
Be more personable to customers. The first person I dealt with was rude and very short. He was absolutely no help. They dropped the ball twice with the rental truck and whom to charge for it.
They put our hitch on wrong. Did not put the clip on the pin.Our trailer flew off going down the freeway the chains were still attached throwing our trailer and car side to side with no control down the freeway. How we did not flip is beyond me and almost killing me and my two young boys. I have never been so scared in my life! Please do not have them put it on and have a professional check it I'd you don't know how too.
Did great!
Everything was fine. Always a return customer.
The parking situation at your business leaves a bit to be desired.
I lost a red dolly there. Did anyone happen to find one last September. My daughter was supposed to ask and she never did.
THANKS Mary Frost
Could use more staff working than just 2...
I shouldn`t have to pay an extra charge for 24 hour access to my storage unit...
A great location. Just wish there wasn't an extra charge to access my storage 24 hours a day.
The manager here was awesome. Thank you for all you did.
the only thing is the bill. it does not allow you to pay it early. the only way is to set up auto pay. I don`t think that right
The service and facility are excellent. I can`t believe how clean the storage units are. My wife and I are VERY impressed.
Site looks much improved over past year.
Excellent facility.
Excellent. Quick and easy.
Staff very helpful and friendly. No waiting in line for service. Quick service.
My only concern is that I could never reach the office by phone. Once I actually showed up in-person, everything went well.
Very professional
Very good staff and very helpful
Great storage place!
The staff was very helpful and professional. They had our best interest first. We would definitely use them again. Thank you.
Jim Heilman
Fast helpful nice knowledgable
Girl relied on coworker to help on computer causing delay. Took 30 mins. She didn`t know how to work the register, didn`t give me my contract, didn`t know how to print
good service, no problems
Very friendly people
I was VERY pleased with your service and I couldn`t believe how quickly you got it from MN to ND !!! I would highly recommend your company for this type of move. Thanks so much! Sandra
I used 7 days this month and you charge me full price. There better not be anyone renting it this month than double dipping crooks.
This uhaul storage was literally so easy and had helpful staff, I`m still in shock I moved into a unit so quickly. It`s super clean and I feel good knowing how safe all my belongings are!
The staff and the facilities was excellent. I would recommend this location to anyone. Great job.
Jim Heilman
The storage units are indoors in a well lit heated building, a nice choice in the bitter cold of North Dakota.
The staff was unprofessional every time I attempted to reach them. They did not give me proper access to my unit and told me Oh well when I called to get it fixed.
The service was excellant, facility was immaculate. Thank you
I bought a 24hr access card which didn`t work so the alarms were set off. After all my troubles and a night of moving stuff they left the original lock on it so I couldn`t even get into my locke
They did not call us within 24 hours after we got the e-mail saying our U-Box was here.Call center never gave them my messages,I called two days in a row! We finally got through and got our U-Box.
Thank you uhaul staff
They went out of their way to accommodate me in a very difficult time for me. I appreciate all their efforts.
Outstanding assistance in Minot ND with Lyle
One complaint. The card check-in closest to my unit was broken for more than 2 months and still is. Mgmt is aware that it is broken.
The facility is in great shape and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great experience.
Great service!
The service was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend this facility to anyone in the Minot area looking for storage.
Very friendly with Grace. She is very helpful. Clean and courteous
I had a great experience and thank you very much for the opportunity to move my stuff in.
When I was doing the paperwork, the guy kept telling me all the different things they required. The cost ended up going from $54.00 to almost $80.00. After all of that, my security card didn`t work.
Stuff came away with a smell.
No covers for U-Boxes at time of pick up so had to load furniture to trailer unload at U-Haul. Double work, behind schedule. Ridiculous at best. Should have been a discount for delay.
Thank you was very clean and respectable place very well upkeep and i feel good about choosing Uhaul.
staff forgot to send it until after I called in 9 days later to inquire about it and it was still at the facility.
The WORST service, BY FAR! Arrived 3 1/2 weeks late, they even broke into the boxes before finally delivering them. Complaint never gets to anyone that can resolve it. I`d NEVER recommend to anyone!
very awesome and delightful to have good customer service
The boxes didn`t close, they didn`t come with the guaranteed moving pads.The tow dolly I reserved a month ago was only available and hour and a half away, with less than 24hr notice.
Don`t like walking through mud between the customer service desk and the the storage rooms.
great people, will come back many more times
Very friendly group of men
Quick service and helpful staff. Nice facility, my stuff is well secured.
Excellent customer service, very clean and well lit storage space, very friendly employees, would recommend to others!
Bret and Lyle were great to work with. We are excited to have such a fantastic storage facility in Minot!
The staff both in Minot and in West Seattle were very helpfull. The manager in Minot went above and beyond to make it as easy for me as possible.
no comment
Mr Bret Hanson does a very good job in handling customers.
Staff was very helpful and able to schedule me with short notice.
The gentlemen that helped us was very helpful and friendly and knowledgeable in every thing we needed
Registration is cumbersome.
Also, I wanted to keep the Uboxes at my location on-site. They don`t have a way to unload the Ubox from the trailer in a city the size of Minot? One would help
great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff
I would recommend this service especially if you want to move a long distance and you don`t feel like driving. Got quotes from other competitors,,U-haul was cheapest.

Using up Rebel powder
For more than 20 years after the end of the Civil War, guns were fired on Arsenal Island to mark sunrise and sunset, using gunpowder confiscated from the Confederate army during the war. The practice finally was discontinued on May 10, 1887, when the gunpowder ran out.
There are two cemeteries located on Rock Island Arsenal. One is the National Cemetery and contains over 18,000 federal soldiers. The other is Rock Island Confederate Cemetery and contains almost 2000 Confederate soldiers who died at Rock Island Prison.

11 Now that we've spent all this time talking about keeping things "old-school" with a string, we will make a concession to modern technology. Wallace doesn't actually string his cars with a string any more. Instead, he uses an inexpensive laser like this he picked up in a hardware store and a cheap camera tripod like you can see here. However, it's imperative for the laser to be completely level front to rear, and especially side to side or the measurements will be off.

eligibles will be identified for this purpose. This could mean that some dual eligibles might experience a lapse in prescription drug coverage if they have not yet enrolled in Part D, a situation that could be particularly problematic for people with HIV/AIDS on HAART regimens for which adherence is critical and for those fighting opportunistic infections.
Difficulties navigating the enrollment process. It is also likely that the enrollment process for Part D will present challenges, particularly for low-income populations and this too could delay enrollment.
Out of pocket costs. Co-payments may also pose barriers for some beneficiaries, particularly low-income beneficiaries, despite the law's provision for a low-income subsidy program. In some cases, co-payments may be higher under the new law than what dual beneficiaries were required to pay under Medicaid. In addition, beneficiaries will have to pay 100% of the costs of any drug not covered by their plan.
Denial of prescription drugs if co-payment cannot be met. Under the new law, beneficiaries can be denied a prescription if they cannot meet the co-payment. This kind of restriction is barred under current Medicaid law.
Ultimately, how the new law will play out and what effect it will have on people with HIV/AIDS and the other programs that serve them (e.g., will it lead to increased demand for ADAP? increased costs? reduced access to prescription drugs?) remains unclear.
First enacted in 1990 and reauthorized in both 1996 and 2000, the Ryan White CARE Act provides funding to cities, states, and other public and private nonprofit entities to develop, coordinate, and operate systems for the delivery of health and support services to medically underserved individuals and families affected by HIV disease. The Ryan White CARE Act is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the Department of Health and Human Services. The CARE Act functions as the payer of last resort—that is, providing care to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured and cannot cover the costs of care on their own, and because no other source of payment for services, public or private, is available to them.80
The CARE Act was first designed to fill the gaps in financing care for people with HIV/AIDS and to relieve cities that were bearing a disproportionate burden of the cost of care. It has since grown into a major program that has helped create an AIDS care infrastructure across the country. In FY 2003, federal funding for Ryan White was approximately $2 billion, about three times its funding level in FY 1995 ($657 million), largely

Adrien Brody Put on Muscle and Quit Sex for "Predators"
Posted: March 15th, 2010 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
During a press conference at SXSW for the upcoming "Predators" remake, Adrien Brody talked about the changes he had to make to play Royce, a block-ops soldier brought to an alien planet to be hunted.
I put on 25 pounds for this role,
" said Brody. "
That wasn't the point. They didn't hire me to be a bodybuilder. I'm not a bodybuilder, but I felt in order to be playful with it as well I shouldn't be strapped. It's not the physical strength that outsmarts an alien with energy-based weapons and high tracking skills and a culture of hunting and trophy hunting. You have to outsmart them.
He also talked about his preparation methods. "
My nightly ritual was like poring over survival manuals and military and paramilitary training books,
" said Brody. "
I was reading Sun Tzu, I was studying meditation, I was on a very strict diet, I wasn't drinking, I wasn't eating sugar, I wasn't having sex. I was very focused. I had to kind of go there, for me, because this is a tremendous opportunity for me.

And after all that he still looks like an average bloke with a massive nose.
I'll still probably watch this, but just imagine having a cast like in The Expendables for this.
on March 15th, 2010 at 6:46:14 PM
Agree, with you ari.
On the other hand, like anyone would want to have sex with Brody...
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:05:28 PM
What the f*ck is with that "no sex" thing?
Ok, Adrien, I understand you for not having sex while filming The Pianist - it was worth it, it was understandable. But not to have sex while filming Predators?
Have you seen Jesse Ventura in the original? Have you seen Arnie?
Each looked like he had 10 chicks on a d*ck while wrecking sh*t and playing billiard with other peoples heads and still called it a boring weekday.
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:19:02 PM
Adrien Brody is a skilled actor in my opinion. Yeah he has a big nose and he might not seem to fit the role as a mercenary but I respect him as an actor for taking the role seriously. He's a great actor, and it might not seem like Predators is such a good career choice lol but if he's working hard and not just for the paycheck then I think he deserves some credit.
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:25:44 PM
dylen!!!you son of a bitch!!!

on March 15th, 2010 at 7:27:39 PM
i quite like him....
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:28:46 PM
Put on muscle? What... he didn't blow his nose for 3 days?
And the 'Semen Retention Plan' doesn't work (as Robert Blake called it years ago on The Tonight Show with Carson) - at least I don't believe it works, I won't try it.
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:30:20 PM
And making the nose joke doesn't mean I'm not a fan of his acting. I like the guy a lot.
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:55:35 PM
see this why Heath Ledger ruled as the Joker, study and hard work on your own time without anybody asking it of you, that's the way to go.
i'm starting to like this guy ...
let's hope he doesn't O.D. ...
on March 15th, 2010 at 7:58:17 PM
relax brody... its just the predator.
on March 15th, 2010 at 8:06:16 PM
@encore - I like Brody. He doesn't have the 'classical good-looks' or bod, so he has to make it on talent. I liked him in Hollywoodland.
on March 15th, 2010 at 8:16:44 PM
"so he has to make it on talent"
if only more people became actors because of talent ... not because they can rap/suck d*ck/'sing' or otherwise ...
on March 15th, 2010 at 8:19:50 PM
maybe it's time the Academy starts taking away awards if you continue to have a crap career after you win one... amirite Adrien Brody? Halle Berry?
on March 15th, 2010 at 8:24:07 PM
Well his gonna be disappointed if people hail him with a sh*tload of criticism for this role...
Shoulda had nailed the chick IMO
on March 15th, 2010 at 8:44:19 PM
So this fag quit sex? All those poor guys who went unpenetrated.

"We're a rescue team not assasins"
Good on the man to do this, he knew when RR asked him to do it he was setting himself up to be ripped apart, so I'm going to give him a go because just as Ranger and Encore saying the has got talent and is at least making an effort.
on March 15th, 2010 at 9:51:00 PM
sh*t i practiced this method all through high school
on March 15th, 2010 at 11:38:49 PM
Brody looks like the low end of muscle mass in real world operators. Someone with some skill that makes up for not being big. That being said, this is a MOVIE!!! I want juiced up wrecking machines zinging out one liners as they march towards failed careers as governor. But he's a good actor so I'll give this film a chance.
on March 16th, 2010 at 12:27:01 AM
If not having sex makes you bad-ass, then Half the people on this site could kick the entire cast of The Expendables asses at once.
on March 16th, 2010 at 12:53:18 AM
Brody was having sex in first place? From my knowledge you should have sex before you can quit it.
on March 16th, 2010 at 1:27:55 AM
He was counting his hand.

on March 16th, 2010 at 3:49:06 AM
Thought he did ok in King Kong too , bit of action a few monsters in that and this does look pretty good sofar..

on March 16th, 2010 at 6:22:30 AM
You gotta like Brody. Great actor, cool person (training with RZA to become a hip hop producer), and not just another pretty face. I hated him for a minute after he molested Halle at the Oscars, but then I realized I would have done the same thing (probably worse). He's always gone all out for his craft (you should hear his routine for The Jacket), but always seems to maintain his sanity and charm when the job's done unlike many other method actors.
@Encoreface: "see this why Heath Ledger ruled as the Joker, study and hard work on your own time without anybody asking it of you, that's the way to go."
Its called Method acting. Heath was good at it, but he didn't know his own limits and he paid the price. "Becoming" a character can be very dangerous and damaging to an actor's real persona. Guys like DeNiro, Kilmer, Warren Beatty, and Bale are widely recognized as Method actors, but its no coincidence that they're also widely known for their radical mood swings, eccentric nature, and difficulties on the set. That's why I respect guys like Brody who can attack a role with the same dedication as these others but never lose site of who they really are. Did I mention Brody does all of this while only getting paid like $2-4 mill a movie (yes even after his Oscar)?
on March 16th, 2010 at 7:37:29 AM
hes gonna stick his big nose in the predators p*ssy mouth ;}

on March 16th, 2010 at 10:42:10 AM
Dumbass - the more sex you have the more testostorone your body produces. The exact opposite of "No Sex before the big fight" old wive's tale is actually true.
No matter what this guy does he is a nancy boy with a big nose.
on March 16th, 2010 at 11:30:39 AM
@sac-damn only 2-4 million, julia roberts gets that for just sneezing and she was in that terrible duplicity movie
on March 16th, 2010 at 11:38:42 AM
Brody looks more like special forces than ANYONE in the first predator movie or most movies where a huge guy is a S.E.A.L. or Ranger or Delta. The real deal operators are NOT huge balls of c*mbersome muscle. Granted, there are some that are bug. but NEVER close to Arnie or Ventura! They stay lean, quick, and maintain high stamina. In a fight on the mats, size matters. When youre running, gunning, climbing, dragging, lifting, and on top of this might have to fight another at least semi trained individual for your life, YOU WANT TO BE LEAN AND LONG WINDED! Not JACKED! I work with some ex SF guys and they are built EXACTLY like Brody!
on March 16th, 2010 at 3:18:15 PM
@lawman - well said.
In addition... a post above said it well. Predator fans want to see beef-cakes like Arnie, and Ventura dish out some mano-a-alien sh*t on the big screen.
Brody is understated... I like that about him, and have no worries he can pull anything off.
I think we're all just having Arnie withdrawals!
on March 16th, 2010 at 3:43:48 PM
Ranger>>>> I know what you mean. There was something very MANLY MAN about Arnie blasting away with the M16 on Predator or Venture with the Mini-gun.
on March 16th, 2010 at 4:52:55 PM
"i think we're all just having Arnie withdrawals!"
i've been that way since he quit acting ...
on March 16th, 2010 at 6:53:56 PM
although it is smarts that beats the Predator, Arnie couldn't have done it without being ripped.
if he was Brody (whom i do not care if he's ripped or not) it would be 'game over' ("game over man!game over"!) because he probably wouldn't be able to lift that huge log to crush the Predator in the end ... of course he could have done it some other way ...
i just have my fingers crossed that this will stay true to Predator 1 & 2 and not end up all AVP-ish (you all know what i mean ...)
on March 16th, 2010 at 9:52:14 PM
@Lawman - yeah... the mini-gun. Hollywood counting on most of the audience that it takes the generating power of a jet turbine (Huey, or fighter jets) to power one. I guess Ventura had the turbine jammed up his ass because he wasn't a 'Slack-jaw'd faggot!' lol.

"Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven" (Matthew 5:16).
You are God's representative in this earth. When you follow the Word of God and allow Him to work in your life, you are letting your light shine. When you are good to people and show them kindness, even when they don't deserve it, you are shining your light. When you smile and keep a good attitude, even when things don't go your way, you are setting an example so that people will glorify God in heaven. Notice this scripture says, "they will see your good works…" People aren't impressed by our knowledge or what we say, people are drawn to God by our good works.
Ask the Lord to show you ways to share His goodness with others. Look for opportunities to let your light shine everywhere you go - at home, at work, in the grocery store, at the gym. There's always an opportunity to be an example of God's goodness. As you do, it will bring honor and glory to God; and when you honor Him, He always honors you. He will continue to pour out His abundant blessing in every area of your life.

Artistic Boudoir Photography | Client Photo Shoot Experience
1. What made you want a boudoir makeover shoot and why did you choose My Beautiful Boudoir?
I wanted to get my hubby a present for his birthday that was going to be a nice unexpected surprise. I searched online for a boudoir studio and came across your website. I was sold on the quality of your pictures and the customer reviews.
2. What were your feelings leading to your shoot and 1st impressions on arriving at the studio?
I wasn't always very confident with my body and worried how I will look in the photos, how to pose or even if my hubby will like the pictures on seeing them. My 1st impression on arriving really wasn't what I had imagined. I was the only customer being attended to and the studio wasn't intimating at all. The staffs that met me were welcoming and very friendly which helped put me at ease.
3. Tell us about your makeover & photo shoot experience - was it what was expected?
I had some ideas on what I wanted my make up and hair to look like which I discussed with Dee (make up artist) on arrival and I was pleasantly surprised when she showed me the finished work! What a difference it made to my confidence. At this point I was beginning to relax more and was looking forward to the shoot. My photographer was Michael, who was amazing both at keeping me at ease and directing me how to pose throughout the shoot. I was shown some of the pictures at the back of his camera which increased my confidence as I could see how well they looked.
4. Were you pleased with your photos, what impact has it made to your confidence?
The photos surpassed my expectations! I had so many nice ones to choose from which I didn't think would happen. I love my body even more now and don't have as many hang ups as I use to. My hubby also loved the album. He said that was the best present he ever received from me and we've been together for 8years!
5. Do you have any advice for future clients thinking of having a boudoir shoot?
Just do it! You will love it and it will give you so much confidence than you thought you could have sober.

UK News
Insights from the UK and beyond
Brown's see-saw poll recovery
A ComRes/Independent poll this week says Gordon Brown has staged a stunning political recovery and that the Labour party is now just one point behind David Cameron and the Conservatives.
Yet only four days ago an ICM/Guardian survey said Conservative popularity had returned to its summer peak with 45 percent of voter support and a lead of 15 points.
Mike Smithson at Politicalbetting has published tables to show that ICM's polls have been more consistent over the past year, with Comres swinging from giving the Tories a massive 22 point lead in July to its latest wafer-thin difference.
But it is not only these two polling companies who are producing contrasting results. In recent days we have also had a similar split between an 11-point Tory lead from Ipsos-Mori in the Observer and a mere 4 point Conservative advantage from YouGov in the Telegraph.
A profound shift in party politics
David Cameron's decision to ditch a major Conservative pledge to match Labour spending plans pound for pound was hailed by commentators as an important step in the politics of the recession, opening up a clear gulf between the two main parties' economic policies but exposing the Tories to considerable risk.
Labour is expected to cut taxes, accelerate public spending and announce more borrowing in Monday's pre-budget report. Now their supporters can revive the spectre of "Tory cuts" to funding for schools and hospitals which helped the Conservatives lose the last two elections.
Boosting the economy: lower taxes, higher spending or both?
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has suggested he will push expansionary fiscal policies to help boost the economy. Brown's comments were the latest in a series from him and Chancellor Alistair Darling stressing the importance of boosting the economy, which shrank in the third quarter of 2008 for the first time in 16 years and is expected to contract more sharply next year.
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King has also put his weight behind "some fiscal stimulus", just as the Bank predicted in its quarterly inflation report that the economy would shrink sharply next year.
How long is a Mandelson?
Peter Mandelson has told the Observer that he and Prime Minister Gordon Brown have put their differences behind them and the pair are now "joined at the hip".
But that didn't stop Conservative leader David Cameron enjoying a joke at Mandelson's expense on BBC TV's Politics Show.
Tories form an orderly queue for Dave
Stockport councillor Linda Holt started the queue for David Cameron's closing speech at 10 a.m. this morning — four and a half hours before the Conservative leader was due to walk onto the stage at Birmingham's Symphony Hall.
With 10,000 registered attendees — the highest at a Tory conference for many years — and only 3,000 seats, an early start was essential for those wanting to be in the arena to hear Cameron's hour-long address.
Does Glasgow spell the end of Gordon Brown?
Gordon Brown has woken to some unhappy headlines during his year as prime minister but the verdicts on newspaper websites following Labour's shock defeat in the Glasgow East by-election were probably the worst he has faced.
"Disaster" was the description of the Daily Mail and The Independent after one of Labour's safest seats fell to the Scottish National Party. The Daily Telegraph called it "Humiliation for Brown" while "Catastrophe for Labour" was The Guardian's verdict.
Glasgow dire for Labour – but not Crewe
Glasgow East has a very different feel to Crewe as it gears up for Thursday's by-election.
In Crewe and Nantwich voters were palpably enthused by the prospect of giving Gordon Brown and Labour a good kicking. They were aware of the national significance of a Tory victory and relished the chance to send Brown a stern message. Turnout was a high 58 percent and the Conservatives achieved a massive 17.6 percent swing to win the seat in May.
Was the Davis by-election a gimmick?
**** For full coverage of British politics click here ****
To nobody's great surprise, David Davis swept home at the "liberties" by-election in his Yorkshire seat that he himself had engineered by resigning.
Johnson overtakes Cameron
For the first time since he became mayor of London on May 2, Boris Johnson has overtaken Conservative leader David Cameron in "favourability", according to an opinion tracker published on www.politicshome.com.
Johnson scored a rating of 3, up from -7 at the end of April, while Cameron got rated 1, up from -5.

Long, T.C. and Saleh, Navid and Tilton, Robert D. and Lowry, Gregory V. and Veronesi, Bellina (2006) Titanium Dioxide (P25) Produces Reactive Oxygen Species in Immortalized Brain Microglia (BV2): Implications for Nanoparticle Neurotoxicity. Environmental Science & Technology, 40 (14). pp. 4346-4352. ISSN 0013936X
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/es060589n
Concerns with the environmental and health risk of widely distributed, commonly used nanoparticles are increasing. Nanosize titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used in air and water remediation and in numerous products designed for direct human use and consumption. Its effectiveness in deactivating pollutants and killing microorganisms relates to photoactivation and the resulting free radical activity. This property, coupled with its multiple potential exposure routes, indicates that nanosize TiO2 could pose a risk to biological targets that are sensitive to oxidative stress damage (e.g., brain). In this study, brain microglia (BV2) were exposed to a physicochemically characterized (i.e., dispersion stability, particle size distribution, and zeta potential) nanomaterial, Degussa P25, and cellular expressions of reactive oxygen species were measured with fluorescent probes. P25's zeta potentials, measured in cell culture media and physiological buffer were −11.6 ± 1.2 mV and −9.25 ± 0.73 mV, respectively. P25 aggregation was rapid in both media and buffer with the hydrodynamic diameter of stable P25 aggregates ranging from 826 nm to 2368 nm depending on the concentration. The biological response of BV2 microglia to noncytotoxic (2.5−120 ppm) concentrations of P25 was a rapid (<5 min) and sustained (120 min) release of reactive oxygen species. The time course of this release suggested that P25 not only stimulated the immediate "oxidative burst" response in microglia but also interfered with mitochondrial energy production. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that small groups of nanosized particles and micron-sized aggregates were engulfed by the microglia and sequestered as intracytoplasmic aggregates after 6 and 18 h exposure to P25 (2.5 ppm). Cell viability was maintained at all test concentrations (2.5−120 ppm) over the 18 h exposure period. These data indicate that mouse microglia respond to Degussa P25 with cellular and morphological expressions of free radical formation.

Let's cut to the chase, as I've written about Cameron quite a few times before. (Feel free to search)
The following are my reviews of his current releases and a couple of bottles that I previously reviewed that were corked. As always, I taste the wines twice, sometimes three times: first upon opening, second after 1/2 – 1 hour, third after 1 hour.
Lot 33 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District
Price: Sold out
Notes: This limited 500 case production wine sold out already, but I have no idea why. The nose is cloying, with hints of licorice & tar. This lackluster wine is boring on the palate and finishes with minimal raspberry notes.
Score: C+ (78-80 pts)
Lot 35 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville District, Napa
Price: $14
Abv: 13.8%
Notes: This wine is pretty forgettable. It's raspberry, earth, and leather nose is very hard to smell. A medium to thin body with mediocre tannins, this is definitely not the best juice the area has to offer. Perhaps it will improve over the next few years, but I'd say your money was better spent on a different lot.
Score: B- (80 pts)
Lot 36 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, California
Notes: This ruby purple wine opened up after an hour to reveal dark chocolate, cherries and blueberry, but a whiff of green bell pepper just upon opening. The medium bodied texture gave way to a tannic finish. This wine needs some time in bottle, but is not a bad effort. Drink 2009 – 2012.
Rating: B (84-86 pts)
Lot 39 2005 Shiraz Barossa Valley, Australia
(90% Shiraz, 10% Viognier)
Price: $12
Abv: 15%
Notes: Here's a good mid week wine. The ruby colored effort has a dusty nose with hints of cherry and raspberry. The medium bodied finish is a bit tart, so I'd pair it with food as opposed to drinking it alone. Drink now.
Score: B (84-86 pts)
Lot 43 2005 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma
(80% Zinfandel, 15% Syrah, 5% Petite Syrah)
Abv: 15%
Notes: I was a bit disappointed by this wine as the nose seemed pretty nice, but the fun pretty much stopped there. It is a bit thin and tart with a cranberry like finish. This bottle was a bit hot and lacked depth and character, but would be fine as a tweener opened over the next few years.
Score: B- (80 pts)
Lot 47 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley
(80% Cabernet, 20% Merlot)
Price: $20
Abv: 14.5%
Notes: Here is your winner! This beautiful wine is pure Napa Valley and reminded me of 40 – 60 dollar wines of the same caliber. The dark purple color envelopes the glass and draws your nose in, greeting it with blackberry, vanilla, and a touch of toasted oak. The round tannins are supple and refined, yet stand up on your tongue and declare that this is a very well done effort. Drink now or over the next 5 years. This is the best wine of the group. Unfortunately it's very limited, with only 400 cases available so snatch it up now. (Update: this wine is sold out on the website, possibly some left over in Costco)
Score: A (92 – 94 pts)
Lot 48 2005 Meritage Napa Valley, CA
(80% Rutherford, 20 % Oakville, [50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet, 15% Cabernet Franc, 8% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot])
Price: $12
Abv: 14.5%
Notes: For those of you that are drawn towards a more earthy, less fruit forward wine, this is the bottle for you. A very nice nose with leather, tobacco, and earth that transforms into a touch of plum on the medium bodied well textured palate. A very nice finish that lingers for 30 seconds plus.
Score: A- (90-92 pts)
Lot 57 2006 Chardonnay Carneros, Napa Valley
Price: $12
Abv: 14%
Notes: This wine comes nowhere close to the Rombaueresque Lot 30 that was a huge bargain. This effort is very acidic and reminded me more of a Sauvignon Blanc than a Chardonnay, with a palate that is overpowered by lemon zest and oak.
Score: C+ (76-78 pts)
Note: It seems that prices have crept up over the past year, which would be fine if quality had done the same, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Continue to check back here, or sign up on the right to receive updates via email so you don't get burned by a ho-hum bottle in the future.

Los Angeles Holocaust Museum on 20th Century Jewish History
Those looking for Holocaust history and facts can turn to a new museum that opened this winter – the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum. The Los Angeles Holocaust Museum presents Holocaust history and facts in an easy to wander fashion, with easy to access displays that range from highly technical interactive exhibits to simple showcases of shoes, glasses, rags and ruins from what are possibly the darkest years of modern history.
The new museum was dug into a hill at the edge of a city park that contains a senior center, community gym, pool and centrally important piece of green in an otherwise asphalt jungle. Concrete benches leading to the entrance are engraved with countries and numbers of Jewish residents who perished in the extermination. The new museum incarnation is actually the site of the oldest Holocaust Museum in the nation. Founded in 1961 by survivors who possessed valuable objects from that time, the items needed a home in order to be preserved and seen by the community.
Today those objects have a permanent home and a place where visitors are invited to study and explore them at no charge – starting with a table of floating electronic photos that stop and expand to the touch. The front pages of old Los Angeles Times are displayed with the horrifying news of the day as it was happening. While backlit dioramas present people's stories in huge and haunting images – notables such as Anne Frank and others who fought for the resistance – glass cases present small things: a shoe, a pair of classes, notes and articles of clothing – things kept and saved. A piano stands in the middle of one gallery, a relic of the original Pianist, whose story was told in the film character played by Adrian Brody.
Visitors can enter a replicated box car, with its tiny windows meshed in barbed wire. They can watch preserved film footage of camp conditions and study 3D models of the camps.
In one gallery an artist's version of the "kindertransport," in which German families sent their children off to England to be kept with British families until the war ended, although most knew they would never see each other again, placed an authentic child's photo from the migration into each car.
In another, paintings of life in the camps, which were hidden between walls in the barracks, are on display in cartoonish depictions of the life that had adjusted to the horrors.
Holocaust museum tours are often led by docents and educators. Tours happen Monday to Friday at noon and Sunday at 2 pm when the facility has Holocaust survivors talk to visitors and share about their wartime experience. Talks last 45 minutes to an hour, with a Q&A at the end. Also daily, except Saturdays, at 2 pm, (Sundays at 3 pm) there are Holocaust Museum tours offering an overview of the history of the Holocaust through close observation of artifacts and documents. This tour runs approximately an hour. On Wednesdays at 3:30, Focus Tours lead by museum staff offer in-depth exploration of a specific artifact, with talks lasting 20-30 minutes.
HelloLosAngeles Tip: Visitors can always use headphones provided at all times free of charge for recorded audio tours.

Well, I was not going to bother writing this up again as I posted it on Facebook. Then I was approached by a friend who was purchasing Christmas presents and remembered my initially recommending the company Scottevest and its products… She had not heard about the horrible experience I had with one of their products, the company's Customer Service Department, and their Founder / CEO Scott Jordan. Since I cannot, in good conscience, have people deal with this company on my say so as I'd be ashamed of them having an issue with them and going through what I did, I thought I should post the facts and information here as well. While I can't be sure to reach all those I told about the company when I recommended them, I can try to be sure any who would buy from my recommendation make their decision with all the facts and not just initial support.
I heard about this company while flying. You know those inserts in the setback pocket where they have all that gear? SkyMall, I believe? Well I was thumbing through it six or seven years ago and came across a fleece jacket that had over 20 pockets. It didn't look like a fisherman's or photographer's vest with all the pockets on the outside, and had the extra benefit of having a space between the lining and shell to run earbud cords they they wouldn't tangle. As I currently had a cellphone, iPod, keys, sunglasses, reading glasses, wallet, and cash with me it seemed like a good idea and I bought one to help carry my items while traveling.
Well, it arrived and although the sleeves were a tad short (I don't have particularly long arms but the sleeves stopped just above my wrists), it was as it was represented. Sure some of the 'pockets' aren't really pockets (a band to hold a water bottle upright in a big side pocket, as few tiny pockets within other pockets to hold change, etc.) but it was nice to have a light jacket that could keep my items with me and separate. I used it quite a bit (still do), not just when traveling. I told many, many people about it and the company that made it. I picked up another jacket (a bit bulky but its water resistant), bought a red trenchcoat for my wife as a gift, and picked up some of their tee shirts with pockets (great idea but not a huge fan of the material). Heck, I won a contest to get a free khaki raincoat (never worn as it lacks style despite it probably being pretty functional for the right person). Suffice it to say I was a big fan of the company and respected the way the founder was building the company through social media. He seemed to listen to what customers said and took comments into account… while I had not seen how he reacted to issues, he seemed pretty open on both his company's Facebook page as well as his own. While he trumpeted the company's successes though, we didn't get to see how he handled failures; even those we did see were spun in a positive light (which I gave them kudos for). Some of you may remember watching him on Shark Tank where I thought he came across pretty poorly. He wanted to seek a share in his company, but not the clothing line (which some of the wealthy 'sharks' appeared to be interested in. Scott Jordan just wanted to sell a piece of the company that could run headphone wires within clothing. Mark Cuban was apparently pretty annoyed, taking Mr. Jordan to task when he uncovered that Scottevest basically discourages / intimidates anyone else from running wires that way by tiring people up in court but even that little fiasco seemed like it was just a PR stunt for the company as the CEO seems good at generating controversy to keep the company's name in the papers.
The last item I received from the company was not purchased by me. A little under two years ago I was given their leather jacket. The jacket had come up in conversation due to another contest (they are big on that to get word out) and I said I thought it looked nice but was too expensive for me to buy. My mother extended herself and bought it for me for Christmas. Lighter and thinner than I thought it was going to be, I was happy to get it but wore it little due to multiple issues: the pockets were smaller and didn't hold items as well (I assume this was to keep the lines of the jacket slimmer), I don't wear jackets unless it is cold and it is not a warm jacket because it's pretty thin, and because of those lines and thinner material it is more of a dressier leather. Since I'm likely to be wearing a suit or sport coat on dressier occasions, this jacket fell between the lines and into one of those categories where it just didn't fit my lifestyle well. In the 23 months I owned it I probably wore it around 20-24 times.
As I mentioned, last week I wore it again and had 'an issue'. Two, to be more accurate: two tears on the back left panel. I had worn it for a few hours and then out to dinner so it certainly had not been stressed at all, yet there they were. No scratches near the tears, no evidence it had caught on anything, and certainly if I had got it caught I should have felt it, correct? Evidently not. Damn. Not near a seam or in an area easily repaired, I was pretty frustrated with the jacket and how it had not stood up to wear. However, I had owned it for a little under two years and since I had not worn it much I wasn't too upset. It wasn't like losing a favorite piece of clothing or anything, right?
Well, I almost just tossed it out. If I had, you wouldn't be reading this though… Instead, I decided that since Mr. Jordan was apparently so responsive to his customers I would let him know so he could address the issue if it was happening to others or at least be aware of the manufacturing defect if I was the only one. Not only had it torn so easily, the leather was fading in odd areas, looking worn and dry along the collar, etc. despite little wear. Most of the jacket was shiny and new but some areas were looking aged (and not in that 'good' way leather ages!).
My wife thought he would refund the purchase price or offer a new jacket but I did not because of its age. I did think he would want to know about the issue though, and felt I owed him an explanation as I had supported the company so I sent a brief message and some pictures. As I wrote in the email, "… this jacket and its construction is not what I believe you want your company known for. I would hate to think of a new customer spending that kind of money for a garment and getting so few wears from it before it fell apart. I'm not sure if you have had other issues, if it was the materials or the manufacturer, or if this was 'just' a fluke but did think you would want to hear about it."
Big mistake.
At first I was impressed. He responded right away, even on a Sunday evening, and asked me to send the info to him and to his Customer Service Department in the AM. I did so and thought that may be the end of it, unless he had any questions. Instead, I got an offer for reimbursement of $30 toward leather repair from Customer Service. Then an email from Scott where he said he was sorry the leather had not lived up to expectations, they had not had many other complaints, and I was offered $75 off another leather if I was interested: a deal he said they didn't offer to others because there were only 400 made but he wanted me to be satisfied. Well, there was no way I was going to spend another $350 for a leather jacket from a company who's first leather failed to stand up, but I politely thanked him for the offer(s) but declined ("While I appreciate the discount offer, I think I'll hold off. Glad there haven't been any other reported issues with the (leather jacket). ").
Again, I thought it would be over.
Two days later I received a mass mailing to all owners of their leather jackets offering $100 off their new jacket. Really? $25. more than what I was offered from their CEO? I forwarded him the email.
His response was to tell me he had not intended on insulting me and made me an offer: $125 off that leather I had explained I would not be buying. Really? $25 more than the rest of their customers despite my having a defective $450. leather from them already. At that point, he had managed to insult me and I told him I'd share the experience. I took a video of it and posted it on my own Facebook Page so he could see how easily it tore.
He responded with a rambling 10 minute video message telling me he 'knew' I had worn it more than I had said I did (?!), 'must have' torn it on a chain link fence (!!), and that it was 'impossible' to tear as I told him it had. Instead of thanks for letting him know of the issue, I was now being called a liar… and a liar with no motive. Evidently, I was just lying about the events and issue for the heck of it. He clearly was confusing fast customer service with good customer service. Insisting that the only reason it was tearing so easily now was because I was tearing it (in the video) along existing tears, I shot another one. Doubling up the leather by folding it over, I could pull it and it would tear like paper and NOT along a tear or seam.
PLAY EASY TEAR MOVIE CLIP (I didn't bother posting the full clips that I posted on FB and sent to Scottevest's CEO, but the above clip should be enough for you all to get the point. )
That clip should be pretty clear and definitive, no?
Despite some impartial people seeing it (some of their own customers), Scott Jordan steadfastly refused to acknowledge it tears easily. Did seeing it with his own eyes bring forth an apology, either for actions, statements, or the trouble with the product? No. What I got were more excuses and denials, insistence that it cannot do what it was doing, etc. Over 5 or 6 days I believe there were around 20 emails from him, in addition to the video message. He thinks that is being responsive and it is evidently his idea of customer service. He even wanted me to call and provided his number – NOT to discuss it or apologize in person but simply to 'explain the facts and tell me why that didn't happen as I said it did. Truly amazing. He said could 'explain the facts' and tell me how what I know had happened did not actually happen. The interactions got weirder and stranger until I finally sent him an email, copied his Customer Service Dept., and insisted he not write or contact me.
I'm not going to guess what the issues there are. He's open enough on his Facebook page about past personal issues and current lifestyle issues that I could play armchair psychiatrist as others have but I am not going to do so. This is about the expensive jacket he sold my mother, its inability to stand up to normal wear, clear indications it has failed (whether it is the line, that jacket, or that piece of leather / goatskin), and the horrible customer service given a good and frequent customer that had shown they had fully supported the company.
I still want nothing from Scottevest. I want nothing from Scott Jordan.
What do I want? I want everyone who reads this to realize they may very well get a decent jacket with a lot of pockets if they order from Scottevest. They may also have an issue with the product and I want them to realize that if they do they may very well receive some of the worst customer service I have seen in 52 years. Truly stunning. IF you buy from this company, please do not do so based on any recommendation I once gave. Do so despite this current warning.

This just in; Liam is a four year old.
The vendor then hands him the hot dog and Buddha pays him with a ten. The vendor puts it in his till and moves on to the next customer. Buddha says, "what about my change?" the vendor replies, "change comes from within."
Its strange what memories will come bubbling up when you hear a certain song. Books I was reading, friends I still talked to, girls I had massive crushes on. Not a feeling of missing or nostalgia, but the sudden recollection of time past. I'll be the first to admit I don't have the best memory, but ask my friends and they'll confirm that I know all the words to most the songs in my immense music library. Something about lyrics and rhythm allows them to stick in my mind and not fade with the tides of days gone by. It's like all my memories are tied to songs or albums. Scary really. I'll have to change the record on occasion because I don't want to think about a girl or a moment associated. There are songs to this day that I refuse to listen to. Its not because I don't like the song, it's because I don't like the memory it brings.

Where are the gay women couples on the WNBA jumbotrons?
Washington Post sports columnist Mike Wise has a bone to pick with the WNBA team the Mystics and why they have no "KissCam." He fears it has something to do with the majority if the audience: Lesbians.
While I would normally question his intentions and point directly to his pant region, his article actually makes it seem as though he's human and not just in it for the titillation. (I just wanted to write "titillation").
Wise makes some really great points in his article:
On the Jumbotron at Wizards games, couples on their first date sometimes balk at kissing, which generates laughter. Other times couples are ready for the lens — passionate kissing and theatrical groping, which usually brings the building to a crescendo of hilarity."
…how long does a league keep some of its most loyal and longtime customers in the closet? How long should any historically persecuted group keep quiet when the Mystics (WNBA team) take sponsorship dollars from a company noted for discrimination against gays?
The money he is speaking of comes from the pocketbooks of Exxon Mobil, one of the poorly ranked companies on the HRC's Corporate Equality Index.
While I can agree with Mikey about the basic human right to be on the KissCam, this brings up much larger issue — the main one being that I don't like seeing anyone make out on the Jumbotron, nor do I like seeing it in bars unless I am the one doing it and I'm in a blackout. Come KissCam time, I take that as my cue to go to the bathroom, grab a pretzel, marvel at some of the mullets and then the lip-locking is done when I get back to my seat and knock over someone's beer as I excuse myself through the aisle.
(Quick sidenote: To anyone attending anything anywhere — if you are in a crowded space and someone is about to walk in front of you in order to get back to their seat, pick your beer up from the ground and hold it like an adult until that person passes through).
Back to Mike's point, those on the other side of the argument say that other people aren't ready for such things to be shown to an audience filled with children. I can't say I blame them. Kids are such delicate peaches these days. They need wholesome role models like Miley Cyrus to keep them on the straight and narrow. They don't need two loving mothers kissing each other on the big screen rubbed in their young impressionable faces!
I wish we lived in a world where it really didn't matter who was kissing on the jumbotron. No, the world isn't quite ready for this, but will it ever be? Isn't it true that we'll never know the temperature of the water until we stick our toes in? If anyone's afraid of watching two women kiss each other, they can just follow me to the bathroom line.
