I'm InMature
"So what's this thing you've got going that I drove all the way from Virginia, talk to me guy."
"It's all about this Jake, check it out." I took him over to the security door, opened it and pointed to the time machine.
"It's all about this Jake...A time machine, and before you laugh, it really works those two ladies over there are living proof." Jake stood there and just stared at me.
"I hope like hell you didn't have me drive all this way for a fucking joke bro, 'cause it ain't funny." Shaking my head, I put my hand on his shoulder,
"It's the god's honest truth buddy, let's sit down, all will be explained." And so for the next hour Jake listened to an incredible tale, at the end of it he just looked at Melonie and Montana and said,
"Well...You ladies have certainly aged well...All right Mark, count me in, hell, if nothing else than to teach this young woman something about modern medicine." Then turning to Melonie he said,
"One thing your going to have to do is literally forget everything you know, or thought you knew about medicine, it's all wrong. After a time, you'll see what I mean. Accept the fact that I have close to a hundred and forty years of medical knowledge on you, and we'll make progress."
We let the women have the bedrooms while Jake and I staked out the loft, as we were getting ready to crash Jake asked me,
"Say uh bud, you partial to any of the ladies in particular?" Snickering, I said,
"Well... I had kind of liked Montana, we seem to have sort of hit it off, why?"
"Well that's great, I'd like to try my luck with that Melonie chick, and the fact that she wants to be a doctor, gives me a real shot."
"Go for it Jake," I chuckled.

And the winners are . . .
Published: September 17, 2010
Mainly, the winners are worthy, indeed.
My congratulations to the winners of the first annual COLLOQUY Loyalty Awards, presented as part of our 20th Anniversary celebration at the COLLOQUY Loyalty Summit in Phoenix this week.
Citi won the Master of Enterprise Loyalty for its ThankYou Network. Voters—practitioners in the industry, and quite possibly you among them—chose Citi for the robustness of the ThankYou program. ThankYou Network rewards customers for activity across the Citi enterprise—for such things as paying bills online, using their credit card or having direct deposit. This holistic view of knowing and serving the customer is at the core of COLLOQUY's coverage of the critical path marketers must take to Enterprise Loyalty. And Citigroup's own journey to the enterprise focus will be featured in COLLOQUY's new Journal of Innovation in Loyalty: Enterprise Loyalty in Practice. Details on that publication here. And details on the ThankYou Network here.
U.S. Bank won the Loyalty Innovation in Financial Services Award for its FlexPerks Visa. John Owens, senior VP of retail payment solutions of U.S. Bank, spoke at last year's Summit, and you can read COLLOQUY's coverage of the company's efforts in "Data Points." In that article, Owens notes, ""I believe that in using transaction data and loyalty data, the industry in general will continue to march down the path of real-time one-to-one offers."
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts and the Hyatt Gold Passport program won the Loyalty Innovation in Travel/Hospitality Award for its "The Big Welcome Back" campaign. Hyatt's initiatives were covered by COLLOQUY in "The Big Welcome." At that time, Jeff Zidell, VP of Hyatt's Gold Passport program, noted: "Marketers sometimes make a mistake by being too academic about this discipline. . . . We've all hired statisticians and Ph.Ds to crunch numbers because we know the value in doing so. But sometimes we forget about the emotional connection that should be what marketing is all about. Consider how you develop an emotive relationship that goes beyond just the transactional piece."
Godiva Chocolatier won the Loyalty Innovation in Retail Award for its recently introduced Chocolate Rewards Club. I personally had opportunity to talk to Godiva about that program, and I found them to be a great example of bringing the expertise of the entire enterprise into the loyalty mix. "Many different functional departments within Godiva contributed to the launch of theChocolate Rewards program," said Kim Land, then Vice President for Godiva Direct. "We wanted all involved parties to provide input in their area of expertise. For example, this meant collaborating with our IT team to determine the most logical, feasible and cost-effective method to enroll consumers, both in store and online. Likewise, the marketing group led the development of communication materials and collateral around the program, including brochures, POP, email content and more." Check out "Thinking Outside of the Chocolate Box" for more information.
RecycleBank won the Innovation in Loyalty Marketing Award. The RecycleBank program, using an innovative recycling measurement technology, encourages people to recycle by awarding points redeemable at more than 3,000 retailers, restaurants, grocers, and other partners. Morley Ivers, Chief Rewards Officer of RecycleBank, spoke at this year's summit—and I'll give details in a later post.

Greenpeace India is campaigning for climate solutions that will help us develop without damaging the planet. By starting an energy revolution that seizes the opportunity for low carbon and sustainable growth while ensuring quality energy access to millions who are denied it currently, we can deliver on development and protect our natural world for current and future generations.
Everyone knows that climate change is real and happening now. What many people don't know is that we have the solutions in our hands. The world needs:
Ø An energy revolution that lets us quit coal in favour of renewable energy sources like biomass, wind power and solar energy
Ø Protection for our forests, so they can continue to clean our atmosphere.
Ø Responsible IT companies who offer climate solutions, and advocate for good environmental laws.
On these pages you can learn more about the science of climate change, and the impacts it is already causing. You can read our detailed policy briefings and discover that politicians, businesses and people can all be part of the solution.
As the countdown to the Gram Sabha begins, the tactics used to try and discredit the movement, silence opposition and scuttle the Gram Sabha only get dirtier. In the latest outrageous attempt to disparage Greenpeace's work in Mahan, fake letters...
What is a Gram Sabha?
The Gram Sabha (elected every five years) is a meeting of all adults who live in the area covered by a panchayat. Anyone who is 18 years old or more and who has the right to vote is a member of the Gram Sabha.

It was a serious case of déjà vu! The knocks on the door of the guesthouse after midnight began just like the last time on May 8 when police barged in to arrest my Greenpeace colleagues on false pretexts.

The latest in police excesses in Amelia village, Singrauli district- Madhya Pradesh took place today when a Greenpeace mobile phone signal booster was confiscated by local police today, along with other communication equipment. This is especially...
The oft-repeated quote by Mahatma Gandhi, "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win," is extraordinarily apt for the heartening news for people's power in Mahan.

Chapter XIV (Part Three) : Camden - An Exchange ☰
Camden couldn't help but let shock escape onto his face. He would have covered it up but it was too late. Had he heard her right?
"Squirrels?" He repeated, sounding flabbergasted.
Daphne pursed her lips, as her eyes widened when she realized that she'd stepped out of line. A nervous blush rose up in her cheeks and she averted her gaze back to the the floor of the woods.
"Is that...too...is that too weird for you?" She stumbled for words, peeking at him.
Camden didn't say anything, shaking his head to her. He wasn't being as reassuring as he wanted to be as the redness in her cheeks intensified. Daphne looked like she wouldn't say anything more to him as she brought her knees to her chest, hiding her face from him.
He was acting like a fool. So what - squirrels brought her food! What's the big deal with that?
The big deal is that animals don't serve humans - not in that way.
The emotions that flitted across his face gave way to the argument playing out in his head. Daphne stood up abruptly. Camden gave her a questioning look and she said, "I should probably...get going."
"Going where?" He asked, eyebrows rising.
Again, she seemed at a loss for words. She opened her mouth to say something, but thought better of it. Sighing, she sat back down on the floor and shot Camden a wobbly smile.
What now?

Lipo Cost
The cost of Lipo procedures depends on each doctor, I recomend you to get a personal consultation with a plastic surgeon.
Liposuction costs roughly $1000 per area.
There are variables that are considered when pricing liposuction but for the most part patients can expect to pay about $1000 per area.

The best way to get accurate costs for your particular procedures would be to visit for in person consults with board-certified plastic surgeons. This will give you your definitive cost. Cost varies from surgeon surgeon and with geographic location.

Students at SLCCFP can buy a student semester pass through Metro Transit that will give them access to all of the city's public transportation routes for a cheap price. I would recommend this to any off campus student who will be using either the bus or train to get to SLCCFP. There are several bus stops within walking distance of the campus, and two rail stations (Central West End and Forest Park). For any student who doesn't have a car, they'll be glad to know that public transit is a perfectly viable way to get to SLCCFP. The park that SLCCFP gets its name from, Forest Park, is footsteps north of the school's campus. This is one of the most well-known and, in my opinion, the best park in St. Louis and its suburbs. It's not just aesthetically pleasing and a welcome break from the city's bustle, but also houses some of the best attractions in the area, like the St. Louis Zoo, the St. Louis Science Center, the St. Louis Art Museum, and the World's Fair Pavilion. SLCCFP students spend a lot of time in the park, so much so that it's practically an extension of their campus.
We currently have 6,835 apartments near Saint Louis Community College Forest Park available for rent. If you're not sure how much an apartment will cost, the table below shows the average price by size.


text: Hey everyone, I purchased a dlink dir655 extreme wireless-N router back in January to replace my Siemens SE567 from my ISP. I was very impressed with the range of this router, and hell for dlink, the interface wasn't even too bad. However, I have encountered several problems with it, including the inability to wirelessly sync my phone when it's charging and I'm also unable to connect my printer to the router wirelessly. I intend on selling the router and getting a new one, my only requirements are wireless N and great range. I'd like to spend no more than $150 and don't really care what brand name - as long as it works. Look forward to hearing your opinions. Mitchell.

When the Coppola family decided to construct a winery resort in Sonoma County, they felt strongly about giving head winemaker Corey Beck, a Sonoma County native, the opportunity to make wines that reflected his own vision of the quintessential Sonoma wine. Director's Cut became that endeavor— limited production, appellation-designate wines sourced from Sonoma's diverse and distinctive microclimates. Named after the version of a film which most reflects the director's vision, the Director's Cut wines represent our winemaker's vision of varietal wines, which express true appellation character.
In addition, every bottle of Director's Cut pays homage to the history of filmmaking with its wraparound label designed after a Zoetrope strip, one of the earliest moving picture devices. Each Director's Cut label is a replica of a strip from Francis's personal Zoetrope collection.

Wycombe came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory at Lincoln City thanks to a brace from left-back Andy Sandell.The visitors started poorly and fell behind when Gavin McCallum lashed home a volley from 18 yards, but the scores were level moments later when a free-kick from Sandell deceived home keeper Joe Anyon and found the back of the net.There was drama on 34 minutes when Kevin Betsy won a penalty for the visitors, suffering an injury in the process, but Ben Strevens' effort from 12 yards was kept out by Anyon.However, Sandell's header from six yards before the break ensured they wouldn't rue that miss and they held on to move up to 2nd place in League 2.Gary Waddock made two changes for the trip to Sincil Bank, recalling Dave Winfield and Ben Strevens to the starting XI at the expense of Alan Bennett and Scott Donnelly.Lincoln were the first to threaten inside four minutes when a mishap from Dave Winfield gifted Ashley Grimes a chance, but the Millwall loanee was thwarted by the onrushing Nikki Bull. The hosts continued to impress and Josh O'Keefe hit the base of the post after pinball in the Wycombe box, while, at the other end, Ben Strevens' volley was gathered by Joe Anyon.Grimes was then presented with a golden opportunity to give Steve Tilson's men the advantage but, after latching onto Delroy Facey's flick-on, the youngster fired over from 15 yards.Lincoln finally took the lead on 17 minutes when Gavin McCallum sent a ferocious volley into the top right corner from just outside the Wycombe box. Wanderers were level just two minutes later, though, when Andy Sandell's 30-yard free-kick deceived Imps keeper Anyon. Lifted by Sandell's goal - Wycombe's first in three games - the Blues nearly went ahead but Marvin McCoy's long-range effort came crashing back off the crossbar.Having taken a stranglehold of proceedings, Wycombe were then given the ideal opportunity to take the lead when Kevin Betsy was tripped inside the Lincoln box, a foul which saw Betsy stretchered from the field with a nasty looking injury. Strevens was handed the responsibility from 12 yards, but his spot-kick was saved by Anyon diving away to his right. However, Wanderers were not to be denied and Sandell grabbed his second five minutes later when he headed home from close-range after Lincoln failed to clear Chris Westwood's initial effort.Substitute Scott Donnelly spurned a good chance to stretch the lead just before the interval when he lashed over the bar from 12 yards and the visitors ended the half on top, holding an advantage which had looked so unlikely during their poor start.The opening to the second period was far tighter than the topsy-turvy 45 minutes which preceded it, with only half chances for Albert Jarrett and Stuart Beavon threatening to add to the scoresheet as Wycombe looked to use the benefit of having the wind behind them to their advantage.But their early defensive woes returned to haunt them and they were grateful to the heroics of keeper Nikki Bull for maintaining their lead, who denied Albert Jarrett's close-range toe-poke and Stuart O'Keefe's long-range piledriver in quick succession.Another free-kick from Andy Sandell almost secured an unlikely hat-trick for the left-back when his swirling cross from the right evaded everyone and came close to nestling in the far corner with the keeper beaten.Then came a chance for Stuart Beavon to put the game out of sight when Gareth Ainsworth lofted a well-weighted ball into the area, but the striker lifted his header over the crossbar from an unmarked position.And another opportunity presented itself with nine minutes on the clock with a header from Matt Bloomfield which drew a fine save from Joe Anyon after Ben Strevens turned Gareth Ainsworth's cross back across goal.It was Ainsworth's last action of the game as he left the pitch to an excellent reception from all supporters, having enjoyed two successful seasons with the Imps earlier on his career, as Lewis Montrose came on in his place.The Blues seemed to have shrugged off the frailties which had dogged them earlier in the game and looked comfortable as the seconds ticked away, holding on for the three points to ensure Gary Waddock's side returned to winning ways after a disappointing week.Timeline:4mins: SAVE - Nikki Bull denies Ashley Grimes from close range after a Dave Winfield mishap. 7mins: CHANCE - Josh O'Keefe hits the post from a tight angle after pinball in the Wycombe box. 9mins: SAVE - Ben Strevens' volley from the edge of the Imps' box is comfortably gathered by Joe Anyon.13mins: CHANCE - After latching onto Delro Facey's flick-on, Grimes fires over the top from 15 yards out. 18mins: GOAL - Gavin McCallum gives Lincoln the lead in stunning fashion, volleying past Bull from the apex of Wycombe's box.19mins: GOAL - Anyon gifts the Blues an equaliser, diving past Andy Sandell's speculative free-kick.22mins: CHANCE - Marvin McCoy's crashing 25-yard drive comes back off Lincoln's crossbar.34mins: PENALTY - Kevin Betsy is tripped by Danny Hone inside the box after cutting in from the left.35mins: SUB - Betsy is replaced by Scott Donnelly.35mins: SAVE - Anyon saves Strevens' weak spot-kick diving away to his right.39mins: GOAL - Sandell heads home from close-range as Wycombe come from behind to lead at Sincil Bank.44mins: CHANCE - Scott Donnelly lifts his shot over the bar.54mins: SAVE - Nikki Bull hangs on to Albert Jarrett's low daisy-cutter.62mins: SAVE - Bull denies Jarrett after neither Sandell or Donnelly cut out a cross from the left.63mins: SAVE - Bull denies O'Keefe's powerful drive from 25 yards.64mins: YELLOW - A high tackle from Scott Donnelly earns a yellow card.66mins: SUB - Paul Green is replaced by Jamie Clapham.69mins: CHANCE - Andy Sandell's curling free-kick goes just past the post.71mins: CHANCE - Stuart Beavon heads Gareth Ainsworth's cross over the bar.75mins: SUB - Albert Jarrett comes off for Ben Hutchinson.81mins: SAVE - Anyon keeps out Matt Bloomfield's header.82mins: SUB - Gareth Ainsworth is replaced by Lewis Montrose.83mins: SAVE - Anyon denies Stuart Lewis.90+1mins: YELLOW - Ashley Grimes talks his way into the book.

text: If the first six races set the table for the top riders vying for the SX title, the eight-week trek east of the Mississippi River will have a major impact in determining this year's championship. Broc Tickle (No. 20 Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki Z450) has recovered nicely from a disappointing 18th-place finish in the season opener to climb into the top 10 in the SX 450 Class rider standings. Tickle's Achilles Heel this season has been his race starts in the Main Event. The Michigan native has leveraged the advice of 15-time champion and team owner Ricky Carmichael to help improve his starting-gate woes. The effort paid dividends last weekend at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. "I finally got a good start in the Main and just didn't hold it together," Tickle said. "I got flustered and got out of a rhythm. I don't think that I was prepared to go for it right off the bat. We're going to work on some sprint speed and keep plugging away. I feel like we got another piece of the puzzle last week in San Diego when I nailed the gate. I just need to keep putting myself in a good situation." Carmichael agrees the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. "Our race starts are getting better," Carmichael said. "When Broc is running up front, he just needs to believe that he can race with those top guys. He's fast and he's a top rider. He's a former Lites champion. He belongs with the lead riders and rides lap times comparable with the lead riders. Giving him the confidence is our goal. Once he believes that he can do it and has the confidence of riding up front, he'll be in good shape."Teammate Josh Hill (No. 75 Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki Z450) waited nearly 40 races to return to race in a SX series Main Event as he healed from racing injuries. The 23 year-old, who last raced full-time in 2010, has been on the comeback trail for the last two-and-a-half seasons. His most recent injury – a broken right hand – has sidelined him since Week 1 in Anaheim. "Every time that I thought that I was going to be able to come back, I got hurt," Hill said. "Anaheim last year, I broke my tibia and heel in the first turn and I broke my hand at Anaheim this season. I always felt that I could go out and race with these guys. To break my hand at the first race this year was just demoralizing. It was a tough four weeks leading up to San Diego. To make the Main was a huge sense or accomplishment." Hill finished 18th in the Main Event at San Diego but his win in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) to advance to the 20-lap feature was a major step in his return to rubbing elbows with the SX 450 class elite."I've always had a great appreciation for the sport," said Hill. "Racing is what I've loved doing before I can remember even really racing. I've been riding dirt bikes since I was three-years old. It has always been a part of my life. Being off the bike because of injuries has definitely reminded me how much I love to ride dirt bikes and be able to have this opportunity. I'll never lose the appreciation for the sport."SPEED's live coverage of Round 7 from Arlington will begin at 8:30 p.m. (ET) on Saturday.

charmur12001 Review
Most beautiful rug and quality I have found online. Price is excellent too. This color is a pale blue with a bit of grey, so very contemporary look, great as well in any type room. It could be hung from the wall as a piece of art, it is so nice. Very thick wool. Looks like it is 3 times as expensive as it is on this site, and I am sure it is. You will love, and notice, it is in other colors, I am sure as beautiful
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent

It's been nearly a year since I've been able to update, and to be honest, in the last several years losing two sisters, a mother, a husband, a home, finding a weird cancer-lump in my arm (since removed,) and what sanity I had left has been rather traumatising (politics notwithstanding.) 2016 has been a relentless shit-show and it has taken its toll on my mental health. I wouldn't have survived without the kindness and generosity of online colleagues and friends.
The good news is that 2017 is cautiously fairing better. I'm in a new place. I'm still updating Patreon and I'm still working on a buffer despite the relentless expansion and erratic, long hours of my day-job. Toward the end of 2017 I may be in a position to cut my hours down and eventually leave so I can focus on music, comics, 3D art projects, and a full-time Patreon again. But, more importantly I need to focus on my physical and mental health.
I hope you all continue to bear with me; it's a slow process but I am slowly starting to fix things and look forward to what may come.

Review & Giveaway: The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova
Andrew works as a psychiatrist but his passion is painting. His life is pretty ordinary and he isn't used to making rash decisions or acting "spontaneously". When he faces a patient that had an episode at an art museum, he finds himself drawn to the man in ways beyond his imagination. His patient, Robert, has captured Andrew's imagination and set him on a path to find out what happened in Robert's life that has made him the person that he is. Soon, Andrew finds out more than he bargained for.
Elizabeth is a natural-born storyteller. I was immediately drawn into Andrew's life and felt like I was the one conversing with his patient, Robert. This masterpiece should not be missed by any book lover.

So film star Jack Nicholson may be retiring at the age of 76 because his memory is giving out, but any hope that the part in the film Nebraska that he has recently refused might go to Jake, my actor son, is dashed by the news that it is going to Bruce Dern, who is actually 77. So much for the notion that oldies ought to get out of the way to make room for the eager young.
But the question of when people should retire does not have easy answers – Henry Kissinger is still going strong at 90. Golden oldies apparently contribute a lot to the economy. Some occupations have a natural slot for retirees – footballers becoming coaches, headmistresses becoming governors (except, of course, Anne Mustoe, who decided to bicycle round the world instead). And actors who often give up theatre when their memories are not up to remembering a whole play can often cope perfectly well with television or film.
The one thing that is certain is that if we are all living longer we can't all just do nothing. OK if you've got a pension or a hobby, pretty bleak if you've neither – and even if you can keep busy it can be all too like James Elroy Flecker's "all that calm Sunday that goes on and on" – dreadful even if you like turning out cupboards and cutting grass.
The lucky ones, I suspect, are not the ones who retire at a given age or the ones who don't, but are the ones who can choose to retire – like Jack Nicholson (and me).

Ed Miliband was given a stark warning today that his plan to reform Labour's relationship with the trade unions could cost the party 90 per cent of the funding it gets from the unions.
Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB union, predicted that only 10 per cent of its members would decide to "opt in" to giving £3 a year to Labour. Mr Miliband wants to scrap the present system under which union members have to "opt out" if they do not want the fee automatically handed to the party.
Mr Kenny, who backed Mr Miliband for the Labour leadership three years ago, suggested the union's annual donation to the party could fall from about £1.5m a year to less than £200,000. He said the GMB would almost certainly ballot its 600,000 members this autumn. He said: "The consequences of this are very far-reaching".
The leader of the country's third biggest union, who also chairs Trade Union Labour Organisation for the 15 unions affiliated to Labour, told the BBC: "We have been campaigning for our members to join Labour for a very long time and I have to say we have not been knocked down in the rush." He added: "I think we will be lucky if 10 per cent of our current affiliation levels say yes they want to be members of the Labour Party, because... campaigning for issues with the Labour Party and being members of the Labour Party are two entirely different things."
Mr Kenny criticised the language used by some Labour figures about the unions recently as "very disappointing and insulting".
Tory officials have played down the threat to Labour's £8.2m annual income from affiliation fees, arguing that unions could merely replace lower fees with one-off donations. But unions say such gifts would be harder to justify if only a small proportion of their members "opt in" to backing Labour financially.
Lord Whitty, Labour's former general secretary, who turned down the chance to review the party-union relationship, issued a statement saying the Miliband proposals were workable. "I felt that delivering this change would be difficult," he said. "But that was true when we were modernising the Labour party under Neil Kinnock and John Smith too. It was done then and I'm sure that it can be done again." The Labour review will now be led by Lord Collins, another ex-Labour general secretary.

Bluetooth and SE T610 Problems Continuing
I have had the car for 3 weeks, I've given it a good go but I can say I am disappointed with my Factory Fit Bluetooth in a UK 3 series (320d). I have a Sony Ericson T610 bought especially as it is "fully" compatible.
I was expecting some "wonder system" for the £600 (uk sterling) I paid for it, plus the additional £60 for the phone cradle.
My findings are as follows:
1) Travel over 50 mph and forget it, the other person will struggle to hear you, and you repeat yourself 10 times just to have a conversation. People I call say I sound terrible; all they hear is road noise hiss.
2) Phone Locks Up. Sometimes when I press phone button to finish a call the whole system will lock up. This is phone, Bluetooth and Radio (no music comes back on). I have to undock the phone and switch it on and off just to bring it all back to life. Must do this every few days.
3) Phone drops Bluetooth connection as you click the answer button on steering wheel. Again have to undock phone and switch off to sort out again. Done this 3 times today!!
4) Dialing number from phone does not engage Bluetooth system, will only start Bluetooth when selected from contacts via steering wheel. I have to press as if I am selecting a contact in address book, cancel it and quickly press the "1" on the phone to get to my answer phone as it is not a number in my contacts list. This will get it through the Bluetooth.
5) People have commented that when duplexing in calls (both talking together) they only catch part of what I am saying. Now I don't know if the system is full duplex or not but I would expect (and hope) it is.
Is it just me? Or are others having the same problems. What about other SE T610/616 users? Does your phone behave as it should? Do you think a phone firmware upgrade would help? I have the R1L013 firmware, (the minimum BMW recommend is R1A081 so I am past that).
I did really expect much more from this system for the price. My old £30 Bluetooth headset is better.
Should I think about going back to my old Nokia 6310 as these seem to be the phones the system was built for? Is a shame as I like the T610 and its features. I may try the Nokia for a week as a test and see if it is any better.

That sux you are having all of those issues. I have a T637, and it works flawlessly. The entire Bluetooth setup I could not be happier with. Maybe it's time to have the phone checked, or the BT module.
Just driven back from Scotland (4 hours) had about 4 calls and of that I had to restart the phone twice !! Would not answer from the steering wheel again. Also this time around half my numbers were not showing on the dash, but were still there in the phone !!
Decided to put phone in to have latest firmware tomorrow and while it's in the shop I will use my old Nokia 6310 and see how that behaves.
If it doesn't fix it then I may look at the T630 as I'm due a free upgrade from my phone company. I'd love the SE K700 but there is no cradle for it yet.
Anyway what did we have to moan about before mobile phones
It is most likely the version of ULF module that you are using. Many people have been very frustrated with the 552 ULF module. BMW supposedly has so many of these in stock that dealers are only supposed to sell them. This is unfortunate as the 387 ULF module is far superior. A couple places have them such as www.bimmernav.com and www.bmwbluetooth.com
I would really hope this is not the case, as mine was fitted in the factory. Is there any way to find out which version I have without removing all the trunk lining to find out ?
I just had to find our what version of ULF I had so just dismantled boot (trunk), the part number just had to be the only side not showing !! Anyway got the ULF out and I have the following:
84 21 6 945387
15 Sep 2004
H/W Rev 09.02.00
S/W Rev .:66
So glad I have the latest version of the ULF as described on bimmernav.
So hopefully it is just my T610 that is at fault, and a firmware upgrade will help. The Nokia 6310 has been OK so far but will not test it fully until at work from tomorrow.

Just got the phone back with the latest firmware R6C005 (I think) and it has made not the slightest difference.
The Nokia 6310 did behave much better so I think for the sake of my sanity I will "downgrade" to my old phone again.
T610 for sale !! Any takers ??
Ah sanity restored, just upgraded to the motorola V600 and it is magic !! I even splashed out and bought the new V600 snap in adapter which also works great.
At last a happy many with happy bluetooth
Thank you, you have just given me some hope. I too have a SE T610, 320d, and a very disappointing experience so far with the Bluetooth. Trying to have a conversation has resulted in shout at the mic in the roof, and eventually giving up.
Glad I wasn't alone.
Still a lot of road noise at higher speeds with the V600 but the phone is much more stable. I tend to slow down now if I'm on the phone and it's fine.
New phone works with no lock ups, and you can dial from the phone or the steering wheel with no problem.
That said, I do occasionally notice the phone bogging down if I try to use the phone's buttons while it's paired up with the car - just slow to respond, but it doesn't lock up.

We study fundamental issues in the molecular biology of gene expression in bacteria using cutting edge biochemical and genetic techniques. At present, we are focused primarily on the mechanism of transcription initiation, the architecture of transcription complexes, the relationship between structure and function of RNA polymerase (RNAP), and the mechanisms by which the transcription apparatus responds to signals from inside and outside of the cell. We have studied the control of ribosome synthesis in Escherichia coli, because this is so central to cell function, because rRNA promoters account for the majority of transcription in the cell, and because the genes for rRNA and other parts of the translation machinery display a fascinating and complex network of regulatory responses. In recent years we have discovered that the factors responsible for controlling rRNA synthesis also regulate hundreds of other genes, and we have begun to study the regulation of many of those genes as well. Current projects in the lab include studies on (i) the conformational changes in the promoter-RNAP complex that account for the tremendous variation in activity that occurs in response to differences in natural promoter sequences, (ii) the transcription factors ppGpp and DksA and their interactions with RNAP responsible for transcription regulation, and (iii) a transcription factor that facilitates RNA polymerase assembly. In addition, using tools of cell biology including fluorescence microscopy, we have discovered that bacteria contain nucleolus-like structures; i.e. rRNA operons come together in space even though the rRNA genes are spread out over 180 degrees of the circular E. coli chromosome. We are now exploring the factors that are responsible for these long-range interactions and their contributions to chromosome folding.

Why stop at 75 yards? Get 200 yard plus capability from Illinois legal handgun cartridges. Here's HOW!
.30 Bellm is the best of the two bottle neck .30 cal. cartridges on the Illinois list of approved legal handgun cartridges for deer hunting.
200 Yard Plus Capability!
Incredible Accuracy!
Rimmed Cartridge for Easier Loading/Unloading on Cold Mornings!
.30 Bellm, right, with .44 Mag. and .30 Herrett rounds for comparison.
The .30 Bellm cartridge came about in 1998 when Ken Valentine, below, posed the challenge of creating a 200 yard plus handgun cartridge that met the Illinois deer hunting regulations in effect at the time. The cartridge had to be .30 cal. or larger and the brass case no more than 1.4" long.
I went to work doing some research, made the reamers, form dies, and reloading dies, and the .30 Bellm was born.
It has been grandfathered in under the Illinois handgun cartridge requirements and continues to be the best of the bottle neck cartridges for long range handgun deer hunting with TC handguns in Illinois. It is also finding interest across the country when a moderate capacity, benchrest type, "short/fat" .30 cal. accuracy cartridge is wanted.
Meet a prince of a fellow, Ken Valentine, the guy who sparked the creation of the .30 Bellm.

Since 1998, Ken Valentine has scored dozens of deer with the .30 Bellm in Illinois and Montana often around 200 yards and beyond.

.30 Bellm barrel review by Sean Coombs
on the Staunton River Outfitters website. This is a more exotic, LONG range deer .30 Bellm setup. Quite interesting!
Current Illinois regulations permit any straight wall cartridge, plus the two bottle neck cartridges "grandfathered in" from the previous regulations pertaining to the January control hunt..... .300 Whisper and .30 Bellm.
The .30 Bellm, not to be confused with the .308 Bellm, is like its big brother also made from strong .444 Marlin brass. But instead of using the .444 Marlin case full length, .30 Bellm is simply a .444 Marlin case necked down to .30 cal with a 40 degree shoulder at a maximum length of 1.400."
.30 Bellm cases can also be made from easier to form, less expensive, premium quality 7mm BR or 6mm BR brass with the small rifle primer pocket for a rimless version of the same cartridge. Rimmed cases are preferred, especially when removing a fired round with cold, numb fingers or gloved hands. I now make all barrels capable of shooting both rimmed and rimless cases interchangeably. The extractors are now set up to handle both rimmed and rimless ammo. Existing barrels can also be retrofitted for rimless extractors.
The 7mm BR and 6mm BR cases necked up to .30 cal. require fire forming the shoulder forward and trimming the case back, but is something any reloader can do. On the other hand, extensive case forming is required making cases from .444 Marlin brass.
The BR case, with its small rifle primer accuracy proven with this size of case, offers even greater accuracy potentials, making it more and more popular for general use even where the 1.4" case length limit imposed by Illinois hunting regulations is not an issue.
It is also conceivable to form .30 Bellm brass from any rimless case with the .30/06 or .308 Win. head size, and I will do this on request.
In terms of performance, think of the .30 Bellm as the chubby little sister to the .30 Herrett. Velocities are quite similar, so checking ballistics charts for .30 Herrett or .30/30 WCF will quickly reveal the drop figures and energy levels you are interested in knowing about.
Two proven loads have been commercially available from CNC Cartridge Company, Benton, Illinois.
130 Gr. bullet @ 2200 fps from 14" barrel.
125 Gr. @ 2300 fps, Nosler Ballistic Tip preferred.
These two bullet weights perform great on deer and give you a good trajectory and plenty of energy for 200 yard shots.
Ballistics are the same or better than delivered by the standard .30/30, but in a small package that meets Illinois requirements.
Rechambering To .30 Bellm:
Any 10" bull or longer Contender barrel, factory or custom, currently chambered for .32-20, 32 H&R Mag., .30 Carbine, or .300 Whisper and having the stronger "stepped" barrel lug (as opposed to the early flat bottom barrel lugs) can be rechambered to .30 Bellm.
If you already have a .300 Whisper, its chamber is 1.4" long, and thus when I rechamber it, no change will be made to the existing throat. So if the throat is misaligned and it does not shoot well as a .300 Whisper, my chamber work will not likely help its accuracy. .30 Bellm will up the performance of your .300 Whisper barrel and give you a decent sized case with a rim on it that is much easier to handle in cold weather..... no more fighting that small diameter case head and spring loaded extractor.
Contact me for rechambering to .30 Bellm, .30 Bellm reloading dies, formed brass, and contact information for factory ammo. (541) 956-6938
First Blood with a new twist to the .30 Bellm cartridge..... rimless.
Robert Bellm used the new rimless version of the .30 Bellm for this Illinois whitetail taken on the family farm, November 2006
Robert with whitetail No. 2 taken with the new rimless .30 Bellm cartridge.
Report from Robert:
Well, the new barrel is officially blooded. Got a young doe at 7:00 a.m. on the 16th, and took a small 8-point at 4:45 p.m. on the 17th. Neither shot was impressive for distance ( 50 yards and 40 yards, respectively), but the cartridge does do the job effectively and neither animal went more than 200 feet after being hit.
I still need to work on accuracy before Im comfortable at much longer distances. Shooting from a bench is a lot different than being half-frozen and shaking in a deer stand."
Robert also commented:
"One thing I noted: most big-bore slow bullets like the 12 gauge slug or
the.50 black powder conical, etc. don't do too much to internal organs but
sure damage a lot of meat. Your cartridge doesn't hurt the meat much, but
the internal organs are pretty much soup after it goes through."
2008, Robert scored this nice Illinois buck

Bergara Encore rifle barrel cut to handgun length.
The Bellm Headspace Indicator has a lot of uses, this time for propping the grip up for the photo. It is not a part of the gun.
Bergara Encore barrels come standard with rifle forend screw hole spacing, which works beautifully for shooting from a rest, attaching a bipod, or a firmer hold shooting off hand. For $35 additional, I will drill and tap the barrel for the shorter handgun forend hole spacing.

Thanks M.Z. for the pic.
Care must be taken to not load .30 Bellm to the Encore's potentials, then shoot those loads in the Contender. Stay with the standard loads for both guns. Loads worked up hotter for the Encore are too much for the smaller Contender/G2 platform.
Rimless .30 Bellm Bolt Action Guns
Pictured above is a Savage Striker " JS" in Illinois put together with a 17" barrel I chambered for him. The 17" barrel lets 31.5gr of H4198 with a 125 Nosler BT produce 2620 fps with 125 gr. bullets and 1 3/4" 5-shot 200 yard groups.
This type of load is for Encore and bolt action guns ONLY!
Too hot for Contender!
This spells Deer Sniper and coyote Rx.
Need I comment that unless a maximum barrel length limit is stipulated by law, you can essentially have rifle performance so long as there is a handgun grip and no shoulder stock attached.

About the rimless .30 Bellm cartridge.
The very first .30 Bellm rimless barrel was made on a trial basis for my cousin, Robert Bellm, originally from our home town, Carlinville, Illinois.
Cases were made from small rifle primer pocket 7mm BR brass instead of .444 Marlin brass, which cuts the cost of the brass by about a third. It does, however require fireforming cases to blow the shoulders of the cases forward.
7mm BR brass is excellent quality brass, and the small rifle primer approach has proven itself for accuracy in cases of this approximate capacity.
I am now supplying 6mm BR Lapua brass necked up to .30 cal. for $125/100.
Robert's barrel was made for the Encore frame, and loads were run a bit higher than the Contender/G2 frames will routinely stand. I now set up Encore and Contender barrels to handle both the rimless and the original rimmed .444 Marlin based .30 Bellm brass interchangeably.
The load we started out with is 29 gr. Reloader 7 with 125 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. CNC Cartridge loads this same load in the rimmed .30 Bellm cases with a charge of 28 gr. Robert's load was the standard 28 gr. charge used in Contender loads.
This prototype stainless steel Encore barrel was made by rechambering an existing .32/20 TC custom shop untapered rifle barrel that I cut back to 14." Benchrest style forend was made by Jim Hendershot in Grants Pass, OR.
John S. supplied this data taken from the bolt action Savage handgun pictured above. This shows the potential of the .30 Bellm in longer barrels and run at the higher pressures permissible in bolt action guns and the TC Encore.
EMAIL email@example.com FOR LOADING DATA FOR ENCORES AND BOLT ACTIONS ONLY USING 6MM BR OR 7MM BR BRASS!
Cases are very easy to fireform.
Neck up 7mm BR brass to .30 cal., trim to give zero headspace, headspacing ON THE MOUTH OF THE CHAMBER FOR FIRE FORMING ONLY, charge case with 8 gr. of Bullseye pistol powder, fill case with Cream of Wheat, fire, then maintain the fireformed trim length or trim to 1.4" or less to meet Illinois 1.4" legal case length limit.
Other fast pistol powders with a burning rate similar to Bullseye can be used also of course.
6mm BR brass is best necked up with a stepped mandrel, which I can supply, or get Lapua 6mm BR brass from me already necked up to .30 cal. for $125/100 plus shipping
How to get your own .30 Bellm barrel now!
Several ways to go.........
1) Encore .30 Bellm Barrels, call me at (541) 956-6938. I custom chamber Bergara Encore barrels for .30 Bellm. Call. There are only a very few left!
2) New Custom .30 Bellm Contender/G2 Barrels
Since I am not making any Contender barrels, I recommend having Match Grade Machine make a custom barrel for you with no chamber, then sending the barrel to me for chamber work. Or, find a .32 H&R Mag, .327 Federal, .32-20, or .30 Carbine barrel for me to rechamber to .30 Bellm.
I can also upgrade .300 Whisper barrels to .30 Bellm, but most Whisper barrels have somewhat long throat and no real guarantee of throat alignment with the bore. However, if it shoots well as a Whisper, it will shoot well as a .30 Bellm.
Click here for details about getting a barrel rechambered.
Click here for Match Grade Machine
..... my first pick of TC barrel makers!
Order the barrel made however you want it according to length, weight, stainless v. blued, final finish, twist rate, etc., but specify NO CHAMBER. MGM will hand the barrel off to me to custom chamber for you. My $100 charge for chambering is in addition to MGM's final price.
Ie, they do not discount for no chamber.
3) Bolt Action Guns
I do not have an FFL, so you can NOT send a gun to me for rebarrelling. However, you can send threaded unchambered Savage barrels to me for chambering as JS did above or send a barrel blank for me to chamber and for your FFL gunsmith to thread and fit to your action. OR, you can fit to your Savage action yourself.
A few words about twist rates for .30 Bellm barrels
When setting up a bolt action gun for .30 Bellm you have more latitude in selection of twist rate, as opposed to those options available for the TC break open barrels unless you go full custom and have the option of specifying a particular twist rate.
In selecting a barrel for a bolt action, if you have the option to get a 1-12" twist, this is would be my recommendation. 1-14" is good also, but less commonly available from the various custom barrel sources. In actuality, a 1-16" twist rate is probably plenty adequate.
The vast majority of .30 Bellm barrels I have chambered since 1998, including the very first ones the original load data was developed in, have had 1-10" twist rates and have proven quite satisfactory in spite of the fact that 1-12" or 1-14" twist are closer to optimum for the light weight bullets used. Theoretically, the slower twist rates should give a little more velocity.
Note that all of the early TC Contender .30 cal. barrels chambered for .30 Herrett and .30/30, those with 6 groove rifling, were 1-14" twist, and it is the 1-14" twist that Don Bower's much larger .30 Alaskan cartridge thrived on with bullet weights up to 165 gr. doing his 500 yard plus handgun shooting.
With a properly configured and aligned chamber throat, over spinning a bullet has less detrimental effect on accuracy. Thus the faster 1-10" twist rate is apparently not a factor when it comes to accuracy.
Back when Danny Campbell at CNC Cartridge Co. was selling .30 Bellm Contender handguns, he would take customers out to the field, put up a quart oil bottle filled with water at 225 yards, and tell the potential buyers to put the cross hairs on the bottle. The bottle exploded, the buyers saw the potential on deer, and went home with a .30 Bellm Contender. Again, the vast majority of the time it was with a 1-10" twist barrel.
The bottom line is that twist rate is not at all important unless you are a perfectionist in search of that holy grail of tack driving accuracy. Any twist rate will do nicely.... including twists as fast as 1-8".
.30 Bellm as a dual purpose deer and varmint cartridge.
Over the years quite a few shooters have reported getting a lot of use from their .30 Bellm barrels zapping coyotes. I have no loading data on hand for 110 gr. bullets, but whether you use 110 gr. varmint bullets or the heavier deer loads, .30 Bellm does a number on 'yotes.
To me, there is no substitute for the familiarity with a gun for deer season derived from year round varmint hunting with the same gun.
Data for .30 Bellm is similar to data for .30 Herrett, so use 110 gr. bullet data for the Herrett as your guide, but use good sense paying attention to pressures in the Contender especially. Any hint of hard unLOCKING, not extraction, indicates it is time to back off the throttle to where unlocking takes the normal amount of effort.
.30 Bellm brass now made from new Hornady.444 Marlin brass.
Annealed before forming due to factory annealing sometimes not going far enough down the .444 Marlin case for this round.
Formed, trimmed, chamfered, annealed rimmed brass $2.25 each, $112.50 per 50.
Rimless .30 Bellm cases can also be made from anything with the .30/06 or .308 Win. type case head size. With the various brass shortages and the cost of BR and .444 Marlin brass, you can cut your costs using odds and ends of brass you already have on hand.
I charge $1.25 each to form .444 cases down to .30 Bellm and the same using rimless cases, which will cut your out of pocket expense roughly in half using brass you have lying around.
Starting from new unfired brass maximizes the $1.25 per case investment in the reformed brass, but good once fired brass is still a viable option for making rimless .30 Bellm cases.
Again, any of the cases with the approx. .470" case head size can be reformed to .30 Bellm. These include all the popular, common .243 Win, 7mm/08, .270 Win., and .30/06 cases.
Commercially loaded .30 Bellm rimmed ammo:
Top quality .30 Bellm ammunition custom loaded, production loaded, and reloaded. If you do not reload and want to take advantage of the .30 Bellm, CNC is the one to talk to for both new ammunition and for reloading your fired .30 Bellm brass.
They have been our choice for commercially loading .30 Bellm ammo and have been the sole source for .30 Bellm ammunition since its introduction and approval with the State of Illinois DNR in 1998. Quality is top notch!
Family owned and operated. However, the family has had many serious setbacks over the years and may not be reachable.

Random Notes, Forming Rimless .30 Bellm cases, & General Comments
I made the reamers and dies in '98, so the round is actually over 15 years old. It was originally "Illinois specific" and is one of only two bottle neck cartridges on the approved list with the Illinois Division of Natural Resources. It is also the fastest, longest range round on the list.
For insurance reasons, the loads CNC Cartridge Co. has produced were H.P. White Laboratory tested at pressure levels for the Contender. The Encore and bolt action guns will handle a lot more pressure, but one should be careful never to mix hotter loads for the Encore with loads for the Contender in the event he has barrels for both guns.
From the beginning, in spite of the cost of the labor intensive brass forming process, there have been a number of people buying barrels from all parts of the country that do not handgun hunt in Illinois and do not have that particular need for the round but who appreciate it for the excellent round it is.
I chose the heavy, rimmed .444 Marlin case largely because originally the Illinois handgun season was in January, one miserable place to shoot a handgun in the winter. I wanted the ease of loading and unloading a rimmed case. That and the fact that the .444 Marlin case is much thicker than, say, .445 Super Mag brass. The .444 case has proven itself a most excellent case in the Contender in the .444 Marlin chambering as well as a host of wildcat rounds formed from it.
However, with the cost of the brass and extending handgun use to the general shotgun season in warmer weather, I am shifting focus to the rimless BR case. Along with the quality of the BR case, of course, comes the small rifle primer that works so well in small capacity cases like this with the faster, easy to ignite powders.
The BR case is thinner than the .444 case. Thus loads can be increased some from standard, but at this point I have not worked up loads to max. in the BR brass or had any loads pressure tested.
In the Contender/G2, a change from normal to hard UNLOCKING (occurs before hard extraction) indicates flexing of the frame and too much force back on it. Back loads off to the point where the hard unlocking stops.
NEVER take loads in the Contender to the point extraction is difficult.
Basically, the .30 Bellm can be thought of as a .30 BR Improved with the neck shortened .1", 1.4" o.a.l. compared to 1.5" for the 7 BR case. There is one key difference. The shoulder location on mine is forward of the shoulder on the BR case. Thus the BR shoulders have to be blown forward.
Forming cases from BR is easy. Expand the case neck to .30 cal. Trim the case neck back precisely to the point the case sticks out of the chamber the same amount as the barrel-to-frame gap measures. Since the shoulder on my round is farther forward, the case then headspaces on the mouth of the case ala .30 Carbine for example. Charge the case with 7-8 grains of Bullseye pistol powder, fill the case with Cream of Wheat, gently tap the case a bit to settle the Cream of Wheat without mixing it with the powder charge, then either hold the case and barrel upright while loading and firing straight up in the air, OR drip some candle wax on top to keep the Cream of Wheat in the cases if they are to be handled going to the range, etc.
7 gr. leaves the shoulders a bit rounded. 8 gr. fills them out pretty well.
With individuals able to make their own cases, the quality of the BR brass, the inherent accuracy, and ease of shooting this neat round, it will likely continue in popularity in other states for general use.

(Received 11 September 2002 / Accepted 19 September 2002 )
We present results from a Chandra X-ray Observatory study of the field X-ray source population in the vicinity of the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262. Many serendipitous X-ray sources are detected in an area of around the radio source and 90% are identified in our deep VLT images. The space density of such sources is higher than expected on the basis of the statistics of ROSAT and Chandra deep surveys. The most likely explanation is in terms of a concentration of AGN associated with the protocluster at z = 2.16 which was found around the radio galaxy in previous studies. Two sources have a confirmed spectroscopic redshift close to that of the radio galaxy, and for three more sources other observations suggest that they are associated with the protocluster. Four of these five X-ray sources form, together with the radio galaxy, a filament in the plane of the sky. The direction of the filament is similar to that of the radio source axis, the large scale distribution of the other protocluster members, the 150 kpc-sized emission-line halo and the extended X-ray emission associated with the radio galaxy.
