Is there a charge for using the wifi hotspot from the G2? Will I be able to connect to my wifi iPad? Thanks. Also, I had to create a new account as I was unable to log in. Is it because of some changes?
Hi veggie59,
In order to use your device as a wi-fi hotspot, you will need to add the $14.99 Smartphone Mobile Hotspot feature. With that feature your will be able to connect to your iPad.
There seems to be very little info on this feature. I went into the help file on my phone and it did not say anything about a charge.
I've have my phone and unlimited plan for over a year and a half and yesterday I get a push notice that t-mobile wants to charge me $14.99 for this.
I have the unlimited data plan and I should be Grandfathered in from this charge. Is it time to call the FCC and FTC to complain?
Even though you have a grandfathered plan tethering was prohibited according
to your contract.
How could you possibly know that when you don't even know what my plan is?
This is from the 2008 terms and conditions for data plans.
29. Additional Terms for Data Plans and Features
The following terms apply to your data plan or feature ("Data Plan"). To the extent any term in your Data Plan expressly conflicts with the general Terms and Conditions, which also apply to your service, the term in your Data Plan will govern. Please read your Data Plan carefully.
1. Permissible and Prohibited Uses
Your Data Plan is intended for Web browsing, messaging, and similar activities on your device and not on any other equipment. Unless explicitly permitted by your Data Plan, other uses, including for example, tethering your device to a personal computer or other hardware, are not permitted.
Call T-Mobile support, they told me that they start charging when you enable the feature. It's not described in the phone itself, would be nice to see it there. The G2 works fantastic as a mobile WiFi hotspot.
They don't start charging you when you enable it on the phone.
Someone shockingly gave you wrong information.
You can enable it on the phone and even use it for a short while.
Then you will get the dreaded "UpSell" error screen while browsing once the network sees enough of that type of use requiring you to add the feature to continue using it.
Some people get lucky and it won't catch on for quite a while.
I was able to use it on mine for almost 2 months intermittently before I got the "UpSell" message.
But you will not get charged automatically for enabling it on your phone, but just redirected to the "UpSell" error message.
How could anyone know about the "terms and conditions" of their contract when almost alot of people conduct business over the phone? When I had to sign up for my new contract over the phone (because I got a new phone and had to change plans due to T-Mobile phasing out the Danger Sidekicks at that time). I've been with T-Mobile for 10 years and I'm sure now their Terms and Conditions have changed since then. But I remember when I got this new phone and contract that the customer representative specifically stated that the Mobile Wi-Fi hotspot was a part of my Unlimited Data plan. So to me, that means it was INCLUDED in my plan. What most likely happened is T-Mobile realized they were losing out on alot of money due to new devices (ipads, etc..) coming out that users were using more of Mobile Hot-spot and they saw an opportunity to make more $$. Well T-Mobile has a right to charge NEW customers or customers who sign up for T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspot now pay for it, but those that had it before they started charging should have been Grandfathered in. Again I was told it was part of my plan, now I'm told it's not or never was (but yet I was able to use it for over a year with no issues). I've had minor issues with T-Mobile in the past, but I'm getting sick of getting nickled and dimed. I used to like T-Mobile because their service was decent, their customer service was great, and they offered reasonable rates...now with all these problems and changes I'm ready to take my business elsewhere (and I know T-Mobile doesn't really care because they have millions of customers), but I feel they are wrong for changing their rules in the middle of a Contract. Everyday closer to the end of my contract those $50 everything (Boost, Cricket, Virgin, etc..) are looking better and better.
Just came from T-Mobile store. They said they cannot even turn the hotspot feature back on because I'm on a grandfathered plan and will need to change plans to get what use to be a free standard feature back by paying for it. Right now, they said< I can't even pay to get it back.
Call a rep on the phone
Ig they tell u same thing
Call cancellaton dept
That should be reason for u to cancel
At no fee
Or is new plan same or cheaper for u
I still like old plan the best

Patrick McGrath, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction at Mohonasen Central School District, said setting the bar higher for students is a good idea.
"It shows a difference, and when you raise the bar like that it gives you a little different perspective," said McGrath. "It is kind of like a numbers game figuring out what all of this means. We have to find the areas we want to get stronger but we do have areas that are effectively reaching kids."
McGrath said the school district focuses on a student's growth model to see if they're improving their scores on regent exams and not just passing each one without improvement from year to year. Also, he said, the district is already working hard to improve math and reading skills.
"The ultimate goal is to give students and parents a better and more realistic understanding on how they are being prepared for college," said Robert Hanlon, spokesman for Scotia-Glenville Central School District. "We [have been] saying these kids are prepared to meet standards, but then they have to take remedial courses in college."
Hanlon said the teachers are "on the front lines" and know what students need help and assistance, so help is provided along the way. In the end, students having difficulties will be indentified before any regent scores are calculated.
New York State Education Department Commissioner David Steiner plans to ask the United States Department of Education to allow schools statewide to earn the previous cut scores on this years exams, which occurred before the cut score change was known. This will allow a better chance for schools to meet the Adequate Yearly Progress.""

More reviews by Goddess_Dreams
I have naturally long eyelashes, (not overly long but Im happy with them). They are not overly thick either, but Ive got plenty and I could never complain. Now, what this mascara does is really incredible however, it makes my eyelashes look as though they were photo-shopped to go into a fashion magazine! I love the way it separates and makes them look even fuller, thicker, longer and more voluminous this mascara is fantastic. It goes on very clean, never smudging, flaking or clumping: (I hate it when mascara clumps). The ease with which I can remove this at the end of the day was a deal sealer for me. It comes off without any difficulty, without leaving any streaks on my face or remnants on my lashes. The price for this miracle is well worth what you get in the end.
I do not understand all the hype with this mascara. I have read that this is the #1 selling mascara, so I finally gave in and paid the high price. This is no better than any drugstore mascara, in fact it's worse. It does give some seperation to the lashes, which make my thin lashes look thinner. It adds NO volume or length. Back to Belk it goes, I will stick w/ the much cheaper, better drugstore brands.
Not worth the money. This is everything I hate in a mascara - it flakes, it clumps and it smudges.
This product made my lashes instantly clump. They looked then and crisy like spider legs, which made them look short and its supposed to be a legthening mascara. If you want nice thick long curly lashes use maybelline full and soft one coat then curl. When they're a dry they'll still be soft so comb and curl again, then use Shiseido base and another coat of maybelline right after. You'll have long thich lashes that will hold the curl all day. It's amazing! I know definicils was a lengthening product not a thickening product but thick lashes look longer because it defines the entire length of the lash, so defined thickening is what you really want.
I bought this because of the positive feedback that I had heard from everyone, but I hate it. It is no better than anything I could have purchased at a drugstore. After only a few hours, it ususally ends up under my eyes.

This product really lengthens as it separates. My eyelashes look full, long and distinct when I apply this mascara. My only problem is that for the price, the product does not seem to last long enough. About 1 month after I have opened it, I find the mascara to be a little dry and sticky--not as fresh as other mascaras tend to be after 1 month. By 2.5 months I have to throw out the tube because it is too dry. It is probably the best mascara I have ever tried, but that only lasts for about 1 month.
After all the great things I heard about this mascara, I really wanted to love it. Unfortunately, its performance is on par with cheap drugstore mascara that doesn't deliver the goods. Problems with Definicils are: lengthens my already long eyelashes into sharp, unattractive points; causes the lashes to stick together, magnifying the "pointy" effect, and making them *very* difficult to separate with a lash comb; does nothing for lash volume, as in, no noticeable thickening; looks totally unnatural; worst of all, within about an hour, it starts to rub off on the area around my eyes, eventually leading to a raccoon look. Very disappointing!! I mistakenly bought this product thinking the GWP mascara I had received was this product (turns out it was Elizabeth Arden mascara...which I love), but decided to go ahead and order it after reading the reviews. Definitely NOT worth the ridiculous price.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like the way the thin brush gets into the corners of my eyes, but it didn't do much to plump them up (even after several coats). I have since switched to Avon Super Full and couldn't be happier!
it's kinda expensive for a mascara. i got a few samples as gwp :) it's pretty good- it shows up on my lashes well and can hold curls. the only caveat is the price-tag. i think it'll b worth it for most people who love mascara ;D
This is my HG black mascara, cannot live without, would completely be lost if ever discontinued! I've tried to go the less expensive route with drug store brands but I always come back to Definicils. I've been blessed with nice thick lashes and this brings them out like you wouldn't believe. Doesn't clump or flake after a few hours like some of the cheaper brands. The price is steep but I usually get about two months worth of application so I guess I can't complain. It will forever be a staple in my make-up bag!!!

Christine from Jonesboro, LA– Verified Buyer
We have used the Butter Pot for several months now and for the most part are pleased. The opening could be a bit bigger both for filling and to more easily retrieve butter as the pot is emptied. Nice glaze and fit and we really like having butter soft enough to spread and still "protected." I buy European or Amish made butter; this makes serving and storing it quite easy.
RITA from DUNSTABLE, MA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
We prefer soft butter but want to be safe. With the butter pot, we can have both.
Best Butter Pot
Leslie from Stony Plain, AB– Verified Buyer
Great quality, best shape for a butter bell, butter does not fall out. Colours are wonderfully vibrant. Butter keeps for a long time.
Unique butter dish!
Abgilber from Canada
I have never used anything like this but it works well. I leave butter on the countertop in 90% weather and it stays soft and fresh. I thought it a bit pricey even on sale but have concluded it is worth it.

Rap mogul Jay-Z may be focused on his soon-to-arrive firstborn with wife Beyonce Knowles-Carter, however, but for now the Workers Compensation Board of New York has gotten his full attention, slammig the star with an $18,000 lawsuit.
Reports on the lawsuit hit the Internet Thursday (December 29) morning.
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Jay-Z failed to pay workers' compensation insurance for three months in 2009 — and sources close to the situation tell us, the insurance was supposed to cover domestic employees in Jay-Z's house … cooks, maids, drivers … that sort of thing. The government agency sued the rapper to collect $18, 000 in fines for the transgression — and a court has since ordered Jay to pay up. According to the docs, it was only a momentary lapse — after the three-month period in 2009, Jay-Z acquired the right insurance and the problem was resolved … with the exception of the outstanding $18, 000 owed. (TMZ)
Despite the headline-garnering suit, Hov's camp claims the rapper is in the clear.
But according to a source close to the rapper, he never missed a payment — the claim arose from an administrative error that was being resolved. Most US employers are required to supply workers' compensation insurance, which provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of their work. (MyFox News)
A few years ago, Jay caught heat for allegedly neglecting to issue compensation to a few workers employed at his 40/40 Club.
In July of 2008, Judge Preska ruled that the club owners violated New York labor laws after reviewing the earning reports for various employees, who showed they were not paid for working over time. Almost 400 employees could be eligible to collect money should the 40/40 club eventually lose the lawsuit. (Examiner)
Outside of legal woes, the rapper reportedly spent this past Christmas with his wife and family.
Mom-to-be Beyonce is laying down the law this holiday by forbidding family members from turning on the television. The singer, who is expecting her first child with rapper husband Jay-Z, wants to enjoy quality time with her relatives, without any interruptions. She tells Britain's New! magazine, "I will be with family. Jay-Z and I are both so busy throughout the year that Christmas is just a time to relax with the family and count the many blessings in your life. Christmas Day is a no-TV zone. We just like to sit and talk together as a family." (WTVQ)

Bb. Pilipinas International 2009 Melody Gersbach, 2 others die in a car accident— August 21, 2010
Just learned the news about the death of Melody Gersbach, Bb. Pilipinas International 2009 winner and semi-finalist to the 2009 Miss International search. (Thanks to colleague Lourdes Escaros-Paet of RMN Manila.)
Melody, Bicol designer Alden Orense, and driver Santos Ramos died in a car accident in Camarines Sur (Bicol) on their way to Naga City when their Toyota Innova collided with a passenger bus at around 11:00 a.m today, August 21, reports said.
Another car passenger, fashion designer Ronald Lita is battling for his life in the hospital as of this posting.
They were about to attend the preparation for Miss Bicolandia beauty pageant, which Gersbach sits as a committee chair.
The bus driver, Wilson Pontillas has surrendered to the police in nearby Pili town wherein the fatalities were brought. The wake for Melody will be held at Lignon Funeral Homes in Legazpi City, reports said.
Beauty pageant enthusiasts and Filipinos alike feel sad about Gersbach's death, especially during the height of their campaign to have another Miss Universe title for the Philippines this coming Tuesday, August 24 in the name of another Bb. Pilipinas title holder, who is also a Bicolana, Maria Venus Raj.
Here's the photo of her car.

Zac Efron Supports Gay Marriageby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Zac Efron doesn't get it.
The former High School Musical star not only has a gay fan base, but he's often been the subject of rumors regarding his sexuality (despite public romances with Vanessa Hudgens and Lily Collins).
And that's totally fine with Efron, the actor tells The Advocate in a new interview.
"I don't judge anyone and I never have," he says. "I don't like to live in fear about things like rumors and backlash to begin with - that's the way I was raised - but I just can't see what's so wrong about being gay."
As for gay marriage in particular?
"It's an issue that affects so many people in my life - a lot of my close friends and some of the most influential people around me," Efron adds. "I just want them all to be happy. It would make me so happy to see them able to live their lives and do what they want to do."
It's a sentiment shared by man, but not all of course. Where do you stand on the issue of gay marriage?
There is nothing wrong about being a gay.if i want to get married to a gay guy is there any problem??i dont thiink so
No one will hate him if he is gay i am 13 and i am gay and i am in love with him i wish i could spend one day with him if everyone truly is a fan no one will hate him no one knows i am gay not even my parents but i am 100 persent sure they will not hate me insted he could get it off of his schoulders every gay guy says his gay because they love him including me u rock zac
Zac efron, do you want my cock? If you ask yes, I say come on
Zac Efron, Kiss me haha.
Look at his dainty girly man hands. So precious!!!
he's only being frank,there are thousands of folks living a haunting kind of life and they just cant be submissive coz they'ill feel like odds amongst fellow beings,"ts a live yo lyf kinda situation"
he's only being frank,there are thousands of folks living a haunting kind of life and they just cant be submissive coz they'ill be feel odds amongst fellow beings,"ts a live yo lyf kinda situation"

I google and suprisingly find some near my work.
Not one would get back to me...even to say they dont have space.
Frustrating doesnt cover it
I encourage you to keep at it. Awhile ago I decided it was time to get back into IC for a bit. Even for someone who navigates the system as a job (me), it can be frustrating. I went down my list of ICs in the area, left a ton of messages, spoke to some people who either weren't taking new patients or specialized in something or another that didn't pertain to my situation, etc.
Finally, about the 12th person I called, I hit the jackpot. She was really good and helped me a lot.
I'm sorry this is such a struggle for you. It shouldn't be. Don't you think if someone is reaching out for help they should be able to get it easily? Me, too!!!
Keep going, you'll get there.

FinCEN Issues Guidance to Financial Institutions on Marijuana Businesses
FinCEN Issues Guidance to Financial Institutions on Marijuana Businesses
Source: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), today issued guidance that clarifies customer due diligence expectations and reporting requirements for financial institutions seeking to provide services to marijuana businesses. The guidance provides that financial institutions can provide services to marijuana-related businesses in a manner consistent with their obligations to know their customers and to report possible criminal activity.
Providing clarity in this context should enhance the availability of financial services for marijuana businesses. This would promote greater financial transparency in the marijuana industry and mitigate the dangers associated with conducting an all-cash business. The guidance also helps financial institutions file reports that contain information important to law enforcement. Law enforcement will now have greater insight into marijuana business activity generally, and will be able to focus on activity that presents high-priority concerns.

FinCEN 2012 SAR Data Reveals Drop in Suspected Mortgage Fraud; Data Confirms Spike in 2006, 2007 Suspicious Activity
Source: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today released an analysis of Mortgage Fraud SAR Filings in Calendar Year 2012. FinCEN's data on suspected mortgage fraud shows that reports declined 25 percent in 2012 (from 92,561 to 69,277) as compared to the previous year. The past three years of suspected mortgage fraud suspicious activity reports (SARs), if counted by the date they were received by FinCEN, accounted for approximately 46 percent of the past decade's mortgage fraud SARs. However, suspicious activity is often only recognized and reported years after loan origination, after a review of origination documents is prompted by a loan default, repurchase demand, or other factors. As a result, many mortgage fraud SARs are filed much later than the date that the suspicious activity actually began. Thus in 2012, 57 percent of SARs received reported mortgage loan fraud (MLF) activities that started more than 5 years before the SAR was filed.
The bulk of FinCEN's MLF SARs, regardless of filing date, reference suspicious activity that filers believe began in calendar years 2006 and 2007. The following chart depicts the number of annual mortgage fraud SAR filings based on the year FinCEN received the SAR, versus the year that the SAR filer believed the suspicious activity actually began (which was usually at loan origination). It shows that there was an extraordinary concentration of suspicious mortgage origination activity beginning in 2006 and 2007, the years immediately preceding the financial crisis of 2008.

The SAR Activity Review – Trends, Tips & Issues is a product of continual dialogue and collaboration among the nation's financial institutions, law enforcement officials and regulatory agencies to provide meaningful information about the preparation, use and value of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and other FinCEN reports filed by financial institutions.
The Trends & Analysis section of this issue opens with an article on SAR filing patterns related to elder financial exploitation before and after the publication of FinCEN Advisory FIN-2011-A003 (Advisory to Financial Institutions on Filing Suspicious Activity Reports Regarding Elder Financial Exploitation) in February 2011. In this section we also report on trends related to SAR filings involving accountants and involving insider abuse within depository institutions. We close this section with an article from FinCEN's Office of Special Programs Development on how financial institutions have made use of, and benefited from, information sharing under Section 314(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act.
The Law Enforcement Cases section includes interesting and informative summaries of cases that demonstrate the importance and value of BSA data to the law enforcement community. Cases in this section highlight how BSA data, and the detection and analysis of suspicious transactions by financial institutions, proved to be of value to law enforcement and prosecutors.
The month of May is Older Americans Month, and in the Issues & Guidance section we include a message from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on efforts by CFPB, FinCEN and others to raise awareness of elder financial exploitation. In this section, we include an additional article with information beneficial to filers of the new FinCEN SAR: SAR Narrative Key Terms: Updated Guidance on the Use of SAR Check Box Items.

SARs Regarding Foreclosure Rescue Scams Increase
SARs Regarding Foreclosure Rescue Scams Increase
Source: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
Suspicious activity reports (SARs) regarding foreclosure rescue scams continued to grow in the first half of 2012, even as the total number of SARs indicating mortgage loan fraud (MLF) declined, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced today in its latest Mortgage Loan Fraud Update. This update to FinCEN's prior MLF reports looks at SAR filings from April through June 2012 (2012 Q2).
Foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners facing foreclosure with services or advice promising to stop or delay the foreclosure process. These scams prey on the vulnerability of individuals who are in danger of losing their homes. Some of these scams require homeowners to transfer their home's title or make monthly mortgage payments to the purported "rescuer." Victims may lose thousands of dollars in fabricated fees, and risk losing their homes as well.
Financial institutions filed 2,360 foreclosure rescue related SARs in the first half of 2012. If this current pace continues, the total number of foreclosure rescue scam SARs for the calendar year will far exceed the total of 2,782 reported in 2011. In 2012 Q2, financial institutions submitted 17,476 total MLF SARs, a 41 percent decrease over 2011 Q2; 1,325 (8 percent) of these were related to foreclosure rescue.
Geographically, foreclosure rescue SAR subjects were disproportionately concentrated in California. This was consistent with FinCEN's past research on debt elimination scams, a type of foreclosure rescue scam, which indicated a large number of the California subjects. Foreclosure rescue SARs filed during this period also noted higher violation amounts as compared to typical MLF SARs.
FinCEN Reminds Mortgage Companies and Brokers of New Regulatory Requirements
FinCEN Reminds Mortgage Companies and Brokers of New Regulatory Requirements
Source: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Director James H. Freis, Jr. today announced the issuance of an advisory for non-bank residential mortgage lenders and originators (RMLOs) to help them identify and report suspicious activity related to potential mortgage fraud. In his remarks before the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators' (AARMR's) 23rd Annual Regulatory Conference, he also discussed FinCEN's new anti-money laundering (AML) requirements for RMLOs. As of Monday, Aug. 13, RMLOs must comply with FinCEN's final rule requiring the establishment of AML programs and the filing of suspicious activity reports (SARs).
FinCEN's Web site is a key source of information available to both regulators and RMLOs. FinCEN has created a page under the "Financial Institutions" link specifically for mortgage companies and brokers, which contains a variety of publications to assist RMLOs with compliance. Earlier this week, FinCEN issued a Notice to remind RMLOs of their compliance obligations under FinCEN's regulations. In addition, FinCEN issued an administrative ruling, providing that RMLOs who are also subsidiaries of financial institutions that require the RMLOs to have AML programs and file SARs and are examined by a Federal functional regulator are deemed to comply with FinCEN's regulations. FinCEN has also made available a Webinar for RMLOs that contains useful references, red flags for potential money laundering, and additional guidance based on inquiries that have been received through FinCEN's Regulatory Helpline.

Pressing forward in its efforts to address a wide range of criminal risks, particularly in the residential real estate market, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today released its first targeted study analyzing reports indicating suspicious activities involving the Real Estate Title and Escrow Industry.
The study identified thousands of instances where financial institutions, particularly banks and Money Services Businesses (MSBs), filed suspicious activity reports (SARs) involving title and escrow companies, often in connection with mortgage fraud. FinCEN does not currently require title and escrow companies themselves to file SARs, but many have reported suspicious activities by annotating the Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business (FinCEN Form 8300) that they are required to file.
"This first baseline study will help inform our ongoing efforts to identify regulatory gaps that criminals look to take advantage of," said FinCEN Director James H. Freis, Jr. "We can now more efficiently and effectively address those gaps and mitigate those risks through public awareness, support to law enforcement, or appropriate regulatory action."

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network today released its First Quarter 2012 Update of mortgage loan fraud suspicious activity reports (MLF SARs) that shows California, Nevada, and Florida leading the nation in the number of MLF SAR subjects per capita. Of the 50 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) ranked by the number of MLF SAR subjects reported, the top nine are MSAs located in California, Nevada, and Florida, with the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana area ranked first in the nation.
Nineteen percent of Q1 MLF SARs report activity that occurred within the past two years. Of this more recent activity, there were sharp increases in debt elimination schemes (14 percent of this reporting in Q1 2012 versus 9 percent in 2011) and other foreclosure rescue scams (8 percent of these Q1 filings versus less than 2 percent in 2011). Financial institutions filed 17,651 MLF SARs in the first quarter of 2012 down from 25,485 filed in the same quarter of 2011. Previous record levels were attributable to mortgage loan repurchase demands prompting reviews of dated mortgages.
