text: London (ANI): Desperate Housewives, a famous sitcom, has spent so much on the outfits and accessories of the leading ladies that they are now facing a credit crunch. As a result, US network ABC has set new strict spending guidelines for the stars wardrobes in order to curb the expenses. Everyone is looking at costs and there are guidelines for every single department, the Sun quoted a spokesman, as saying. According to the new guidelines no more than 150 dollars can be spent on accessories and 250 dollars is the limit for shoes.

The Internet Upheaval: Raising Questions, Seeking Answers in Communications Policy
Ingo Vogelsang, Benjamin M. Compaine
MIT Press, 2000 - Computers - 426 pages
At the beginning of 2000, the U.S. economy was enjoying the longest period of sustained growth and economic prosperity in its history. According to The Internet Upheaval, part of the explanation for this phenomenon is a consequence of how information technologies, in particular the Internet, are upending fundamental economic and social structures.These research studies explore some of the telecommunications policy ramifications of this upheaval. The first section addresses the complexities of adapting the First Amendment to the Internet, the debate over the taxation of e-commerce, and Internet users' attitudes toward online privacy. The second section looks at how the Internet has changed, or will change, traditional models used by economists, sociologists, and others to explain how the world works. The third section discusses the need for new economic models to deal with the rapidly changing competitive landscape. Finally, the fourth section examines economic and policy aspects of universal service.Contributors Mark S. Ackerman, James C. Brent, Barbara A. Cherry, Benjamin M.

1991 Toyota Land CruiserDue to some changes in my life and a longer work commute........I'm entertaining the idea to sell my landcruiser. Here are the specs on this rare beast: -located in Abbotsford, ritish Columbia -No accidents -1991 Toyota Landcruiser HZJ77 (4-door HZ engine variant)-Right Hand Drive -170KM (105miles) -5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION!!!!! -Old Man Emu lift -Black rims on Mickey Thompson tires -Intercooler -Turbo setup -Upgraded Heavy Duty Injector Pump-Brand new Denso injectors (replaced July 2015) -Brand New Head (replaced early 2015) -Power windows -Power sunroof -Power mirrors -Suspension Seats -Air Conditioning -ISPRO pyro and boost gauges -New console display lights -Manual hubs -LOCKERS!!!!!! -ARB front bumper -Kaymar rear bumper with full size swinging spare -Cruisin Off Road sliders -Toyota factory winch - 2x4" JL speakers in the front - 2x6.5" JL speakers in the rear - 1x10" Rockford Fosgate Sub with built in amp (easily removable by unplugging it if more trunk space is desired) She's been meticulously babied. All servicing done by ATEB in Burnaby, C and only touched by certified Toyota mechanics. There is a crack on the windshield on the passenger side; but it doesn't affect driver visibility so i've never noticed it. There were some cracks in the head when I bought her......a brand new head has been installed ($7000 bill) along with a host of other replacements...she has been tuned conservatively for fuel economy and highway driving........No expense was spared. She's almost 25 years old and would make for a great expedition rig. There is some normal surface rust spots but nothing crazy......she's in excellent shape.She comes with factory diff locks, actory winch, ifted, RB front and Kaymar back. Full size spare with a brand newsteely. She has power windows, irrors, unroof, uspension seats with power lumbar support, ave's Tub installed, rand new Kenwood Stereo deck withiPod hookup, irius/XM satellite ready, L speakers in the front, L speakers in the back, 10 inch sub with a built in amp (easily detached).The only thing that was planned was an undercoat rust proofing but I'll leave that to the next owner.JAPANESE VIN: HZJ77-0001791She will beeligible for US Importation in April 2016. I'm listing this now to see if there is any interest for someone who can store in her Canada untilshe is ready to be imported into the States legally. Email me at turbodiesel80 at gmail dot com for any questions. I have multiple offers for her if she is still around in April 2016.....but i'd like to see her gone sooner than later so I can free up some room on the driveway and avoid parking her elsewhere...........It took me almost 4 years to find a landcruiser like this....I've invested over $10000 in her to make her mechanically sound......You will never see another built up one for this price....her armour alone is worth a small fortune. If anyone is looking for storage options a quick search online yielded a lot of options for 35-50/month in the Vancouver, ritish Columbia area. I searched the Fraser Valley and there were quite a few options available.
*. *I will be away for work and returning in mid-late September. I still have internet access and am available to answer any questions people may have. If she is not sold by October she will have her insurance pulled and parked until the new year closer to April. I have 3 carsand a motorcycle......can't afford to keep/insure them all.

As always…this is JK and I do not own or make any money
***I added aome content about O/S as requested and corrected spelling of Hermione ****
Thanks for the reviews. This is the end. Any reference to any real companies or software is not intended at all. All I can say is that I wish that I had magic, as we will find out how Severus handles Technical Support. And, does Hermione wins her wager? Also, A surprise twist near the end.
Severus flooed in on Friday and ignored his study as he was sure that she was in the kitchen. His hand clutched the parchment that his witch had sent him during the week. He had marked it in the bold, red ink that she had seen in the past. He knew his wife had her own agenda.
He peeked into the kitchen. Hermione was seated at the table, engrossed in a book, hand on her cup of tea.
He entered silently, teaching robes billowing. He slammed the parchment down in front of Hermionie and leaned forward..
She jerked up heart beating wildly, spilling the tea. "I swear I will put a bell on you someday!"
"Miss. Granger!" He sneered. "I find your essay lacking on some most important points. You will have to correct this, and pay particular attention to paragraph 5"
"Oh of course, Professor Snape! Forbid that I send a sub standard assignment to you!" in her best school girl voice.
He watched her as she grabbed a blank parchment to address the red ink. As she corrected her essay, he noticed how she was dressed. While thankfully not in Hogwarts student kilt, she dressed to imply that she was a student. As a matter of fact, he had never seen her dressed like this since her school days. Hmmm, little minx was scheming.
She slid the corrections toward Severus, and stood up to fix him a cup of tea. He accepted the cup as he reviewed her corrections. Well, paragraph 5 certainly went into more detail……
"Miss Granger, I find that we will have to move forward to the practical of this essay….."
Next Morning:
Severus left his wife sleeping in bed and padded down to his study to begin putting his computer together. The amount of boxes in his study shocked him. Surely all these boxes are not part of his computer. After all, he remembered hers came in one box.
He sensed his wife walk up behind him. He turned to her and gave her a questioning look.
"Yes love, all those boxes are yours. If you need help, the number to technical support is right next to the phone." She lightly kissed him on the cheeks. "Remember, patience is a virtue." She left to go make breakfast for them.
Severus muttered to himself. He definitely walked into her trap. She was very Slytherin when it came to manipulating him by insisting there is something he cannot do. Well, he was still going to prove her wrong.
He took everything out of the boxes. There was an item that reminded him of a muggle gun, two printers, one smaller than the other, a pole display, something called a router, an external USB Hub (He scratched his head at that one), speakers, keyboard, mouse and a touch screen monitor.
Since the computer came with a diagram to connect the mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor, he had no issues. It was just everything else that arrived with the infernal box.
He turned it on and VISTRA loadd so slowly. He frowned on that. Then a pop up appeared on the screen asking if it was ok to continue. After that rant and being on the pointing end of Hermione's wand, there was no way he was clicking anything. He would ask technical support about it later.
Now, what was the wording of that wager? Oh yes, put it together with the aid of technical support. Can't be all bad.
He picked up the phone and dialed the number to technical support. After 45 minutes of listening to the worst music he had ever heard in his life, a voice came on. "Hi My name is Jake! How can I help you?"
Severus thought that Jake sounded Indian, and he doubted there would be Indians named Jake. His accent was so heavy that he could barely understand him. Severus pointed his wand at his body and quickly whispered a translator charm.
"Well yes, Jake. I've connected the computer and the display together and it seems to work fine except for a pop up. However, there are a couple of printers…….."
I'm sorry, I only work with computers. I will have to transfer you to our printer department. Have a nice day!" Jake replied before Severus could say another word.
"NOOOOOOO! And not that horrible music again! And if I hear that recording asking me to be patient one more time, I am going to Avada this …….."
"Am I interrupting your conversation to yourself?" asked his wife as she brought him his breakfast. She then noticed he was holding the phone.
He placed the call on speaker and proceeded to eat his breakfast. He noticed a vial on the tray she had brought in.
Hermione followed his gaze and responded "Headache potion. I figure you are going to need it by time all of this is over with."
She picked up his empty plate and teacup. "I need to go and pick up a few things in Diagon Alley. Anything you need? No, well good luck and I'll see you in a few hours" She left the room, tacky on hold music drifting from the speaker.
After about another 45 minutes on hold a voice came thru the speaker as Severus reached to pick the phone up. "Hi! My name is Jake! How can I help you?"
What! Another Jake?! How many Indians named Jake can there be? Severus curled his lip. This Jake's accent was worse than the previous one.
"Well, I was just explaining, I am having printer problems along with a pop up message."
"What is the model of the computer that you are using?" Severus wondered why he was asking about his computer if he was having printer problems. Jake started talking about looking up system specs. He did not know what that was, so asked if Jake could speak in his native tongue. Jake sounded surprised and continued in his native tongue. Severus did not understand any better.
"Oh, Mr. Snape. This is a Point of Sale system. I only do printers. Let me transfer you to POS."
"Wait!" Severus shouted into the phone. "You are printers! I have a printer problem!" He growled in frustration as he heard that unbearable on hold music once again.
He leaned down to put the call on speaker when he heard a female voice in clear English state "Thank you for calling Excellent Point of Sale Support. My name is Farrah, how may I help you?"
"Thank Merlin you speak English" He spoke into the phone. He heard a very faint chuckle on the other end.
He explained the printer not printing and provided the order number once again, explaining this is the third time transferred. She sounded sympathetic as she looked up something called contract details.
"I'm sorry Mr. Snape, I wish I could help you, but this computer was purchased with basic support, which means your printer is not covered. If it was purchased with the specific EPOS business solution I could have helped you get everything set up. It is no use sending you back to basic support, because you'll go into the vortex known as transfer hell. The best advice I can give to you is to contact the maker of the printer. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
He grated back to the voice on the other side "No, keep doing what you have been. Nothing!" He slammed the phone down. Hmm no business contract. This reeks of Hermione. His eyes narrowed.
He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the telephone
***Bang!***Reparo!***Bang!***Reparo!***Bang!*** Reparo!....
Hermione had quietly entered the flat and was now standing in the doorway of the study, watching her wizard destroy the muggle phone and repair it. Talk about déjà vu and the wearing someone else's shoes.
"Is everything all right in there?" She called.
Her husband whirled around, wand pointed directly at her. "Witch, this is your fault! Why did you not purchase the correct contract for a business set up?"
"Found that out, did you?" She softly asked.
"Yes, after three hours on the phone! I believe you did it on purpose" He snarled.
"Quite possibly. Welcome to my world every time I call that blasted number" She laughed "However, none of this changes our wager. Did you expect me to make it easy for you? Really!"
"Come, let's take a break in the living room. I've bought you a bottle of Old Ogdens Finest Firewhiskey. That will settle your nerves." He let her pull him out of the study.
He sat in the chair opposite her, swirling the amber liquor in the glass he was holding. Hermionie was quite the clever witch. He gave her point on the contract. It was something he would have done, considering the stakes. That is why he was attracted to her. Gryfindor she may be, but she practiced Slytherin tactics when it suited her. But what to do now? The instructions that came with the rest of the blasted things were unclear. He was unwilling to concede defeat. Especially after that fiasco of technical support.
Technical Support. According to the wager he could only use technical support to help him put this contraption together, and the last person, Farrah was it? sounded quite knowledgeable……
He smirked. He had the solution to this whole mess.
He looked up from the glass and noticed that his wife was watching him, taking in the predatory look on his face. Somehow she knew right then that she just lost the wager.
Severus waited until Hermione was in the library working on some Ministry papers. He cleared an area in the living room and pulled out his wand.
He had helped Professor Flitwick create a charm called Desirus. Flitwick was going to use it to search for some lost relatives. If done properly, it would bring you whatever is in your mind (if you have the right emotion attatched to it as well) when you cast the spell. The wand movements were very complicated as well. He started to practice the wand movements and clear his mind.
So lost in clearing his mind and concentrating on the charm, he did not notice that his wife had snuck back into the room and stood in the darkest corner.
He pictured clearly his computer, and focused on the voice of Farrah. He focused on how she answered the phone "Excellent Point of Sale Support." He projected the emotion he would feel (Happiness, Joy, Success, Victory) if he were able to put it together. He started the complicated wand movement and softly uttered "Desirus".
There was a large bang and a confused young woman with a headset sat half hazardly on her head was backing away using the office seat that had arrived with her.
He approached her, black robes billowing and wand still pointing at her. The new arrival looked up at him from the chair as she was desperately trying to get away.
She screamed "I've been kidnapped by a vampire and now he is pointing his stake at me!"
The chair caught up in the rug, causing the chair to fall over and the young woman's head hit the coffee table, knocking her out cold.
"SEVERUS SNAPE!" Hermione yelled as she approached her husband. "YOU CANNOT JUST GO AROUND AND KIDNAP TECHNICAL SUPPORT!"
"I do not see why not pet. The wager was using Technical Support. As you can see Technical Support is now here. I win as she will assist me."
Hermione sighed, looking defeated. "How do you know she will help?"
He smirked evilly. "Because she will have no choice."
Hermione chuckled "But did you catch what she said. She called you a vampire! If she only knew that all of your students wonder about that very fact." She laughed harder.
Severus huffed, and muttered some words under his breath. He walked over and picked the technician off the floor and laid her on the couch and ran some diagnostic charms. His eyebrow shot up at one of the readings. They came out a green glow, indicating nothing was wrong.
He looked down and took note of her blonde hair, blue jeans, and the white t-shirt stating "GEEKALICIOUS". She looked about 25. He then noticed an ID clamped to the sleeve of her shirt. It was a picture and had the name Farrah Flickwick, Excellent Point Of Sale Support. He quickly removed the ID and pocketed it.
"Witch, if you are done laughing on my account, can you make yourself useful and get over here? Perhaps your appearance will be more….settling"
Hermione walked over and sat down next to the prone girl. She pulled out he wand and intoned "Enervate"
Farrah slowly sat up with the assistance of Hermionie. She was holding her head. Wow, I must have fallen out of my chair. Wonder why my cube mates aren't laughing at me? She opened her eyes and realized she was not at EPOS, and that a very tall, pale, angry looking man with long black hair was standing over her. She started to try to get away.
"Don't worry."Hermione said. "This is my husband, Severus Snape. I can promise you that he is not a vampire, though the speculation has been brought up for years." She laughed as Farrah's posture relaxed slightly. "I'm Hermione Snape."
"I was just sitting at my cubicle on break. I was day dreaming about England and trying to locate some relatives. Then I find myself here" Farrah mused.
"Snape, Snape….Where have I heard that name before?" It clicked "You were the no contract new system right? And you called from the United Kingdom?"
Severus nodded his head affirmative.
"And I take it I am in the UK now? Can you tell me how one moment I can be in Wichita, Kansas and now here?" She shook her head. Maybe after 4 years of this job she was going crazy.
Severus spoke up as he had legilimen'd her. "No, my dear. You are not crazy. You were brought here by magic."
Hermione's face showed shock as her husband had just used a reference of magic.
Farrah scoffed. As If.
"Pet, take Miss Flitwick down to the market for a cuppa. She seems more comfortable with you. That way, she can truly say that she is not in Kansas anymore." He smirked.
Hermione gasped at the name and the reference to the muggle story "Wizard of Oz." She grabbed up her purse and pulled out her wand and transfigured her robes into muggle clothes.
Farrah stared dumbfounded. Maybe it was magic.
Hermione grabbed Farrah's hand and was out the door in a flash.
Severus pulled out the ID and looked at it thoughtfully.
Farrah was a witch.
He walked over to the floo, grabbed some powder and tossed it in "Headmistress office, Hogwart's" He stepped in and was gone in a flash of green.
At Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry……
"Minerva, I am not wrong. I casted a diagnostic spell." Severus conjured up a parchment and tapped his wand to it. "Notice the magical signature reading. And the name Flitwick is not a common muggle name." He tossed the ID onto her desk.
"Do you really think so, Severus? After all, Filius has been looking for years." Minerva whispered.
"The only way we can find out is to talk to Filius."
Minerva tossed in the floo powder and addressed herself to Professor Flitwick's floo. "Filius, I need a word with you."
"Of course, headmistress." He squeaked. "Stand aside so I may enter."
Filius entered the Headmistress office, and shook the ash of his robes. "How may I be of service, Minerva?"
She silently handed the wizard the ID badge.
Filius picked it up and examined it. His eyes grew wide with shock as he pulled out a photograph of a seven year old little girl.
There was no mistake that the little girl in the photograph was the woman pictured on the ID. His great nephew left England as Voldemort's rising placed his family in jeopardy. After all, the Flitwick family was known to be strong in charms.
"Severus! How…..?
"I am not at liberty to say, Filius. Is this your long lost relative?" Severus tried to tone down his voice.
"Yes, it is. Please let me go to my chambers and retrieve something."
He flooed back to his rooms and came back with a package.
"I do not know how you found her" Filius pleaded "But please give her this to make her decision on her own."
Severus tucked the package into his robes and looked to his colleague.
"I cannot promise her response, but I promise you I will leave this with her." With that he took the powder from the headmistress' floo and intoned "Professor Snape's flat" and was gone once more.
Minerva looked at Filius with a tear in her eye.
Back at the Snape's Flat
Severus exited the floo and went to the kitchen where he found the two witches talking over tea.
As soon as Farrah saw him, she shrank away. But he only sat down at the table as Hermione handed him his cup.
"So, Farrah, what all has my delightful wife told you?"
Farrah softly laughed. "Well, I can truly say that I am not in Kansas anymore, and that I am here in the UK.. It's also a shock that magic exist."
"However, your wife was most adamant telling me that I should not help you, because you kidnapped me."
"Really?" He intoned as he sipped appreciably at his tea. "Did she tell you why?"
"Not really, except that if she was in my situation, she would not do it and demand that I return back to Kansas."
Hermione really should have been sorted in Slytherin
Severus smirked and told Farrah about the wager.
"And she did this purposely to you?" Farrah asked.
"Oh, most definitely" Severus silkily replied back.
"Your wife seems knowledgeable in the way of computers."
"Oh, yes. My wife is the brightest witch of her age"
"I hate customers being led astray. Show me your set up and I will help you." She glared at Hermionie. She liked the woman, but Farrah especially hated taking calls that she could not help.
"But of course my dear." He smirked at Hermionie as he led Farrah to the study. He won.
Farrah tuted to herself as VISTRA loaded. It was abnormally slow for the retail package. She glanced at the order detail laying next to the computer and shot a glare at Hermione, who was standing meekly at the door to the study, liking like a child with her hand caught in the cookie jar.
She had everything set up in twenty minutes and ordered an upgrade to 4 gig of memmory.
Back to Kansas
Severus appaarted with Farrah to EPOS and they made their way back to her cube. He frowned, this looked worse than prison. He whispered an incantation that made her unconscious for a set time and set a notice me not spell.
He placed Professor Flitwick's package on her desk along with her ID. He also added airline tickets of his own with a note.
"If you ever discover that you are not happy in Kansas anymore, and want to visit OZ, please call this number. Your family is waiting for you."
He sighed. If this ever got out his git reputation was done for.
Farrah awoke back in her cube. That was one hell of a dream! She was surprised that no one noticed she was sleeping.
She looked down and saw what was on her desk. There was a box, and she opened it up. There were pictures of the parents she vaguely remembered, as they died in a car accident years ago, and she was left as a ward of the state.
Wait a minute! Those pictures were moving!
She then picked up the note and read it. She picked up the tickets.
It wasn't a dream!
She grinned as she picked up her badge and headset. She walked toward her manager's cube to start a tornado of fury and pent up frustration of her own. After all, isn't that was how one traveled to Oz?
Severus apparated back to his flat, bellowing for his wife.
"Wife, time to fulfill your task!"
Hermione walked up to him and placed her arms about his waist.
"And wizard, what task is that? " She whispered seductively in his ear.
"I want a gourmet meal, tonight! Preferably roast duck." Severus told her as he smiled at her.
His witch was good for cooking breakfast, but not much else in the way of cooking complicated meals. He noticed the look on her face and she could hear his laughter as he walked away toward his study.
Well! she thought to herself. Two can play at this game.
Gordon Ramsey appeared in her living room. The only words out of his mouth was "Fucking Hell!!"
A/N Sorry long chapter but I wanted to end it. Hope you enjoyed it!

''Rod is more comfortable at left guard,'' Redskins OL coach Kim Helton said. ''We're trying to make this puzzle fit as best we can. We'll see if he can do it at left guard and see from there. If he can do it, shoot, that's good. If not we'll put him back at tackle.''
Helton would not discuss specifics, but said that, in this system, left guard is similar to tackle. Which is why Jones might feel better over there. He has started two games at that spot in the NFL.
What about the free agent guards? The Redskins aren't sold on Ben Coleman as a pass blocker, which he must be in this offense. Besides, if they really need him, he'll still be available in a week or so. They want to see their young linemen in a game first.
Matt Campbell isn't better than what they have and Ray Brown might be too expensive. Also, Brown, too, figures to be available in a week or so. If someone else gets close to signing him, the Redskins could always jump in. But know this: Helton hasn't watched much film of him.
. . . At least 2,500 people attended the morning practice at Fan Appreciation Day.
. . . Otis Leverette played left tackle in one pass-rush situation. He didn't do much.
. . . The Redskins have run a lot of no-huddle drills. They also worked on fake punts, something that should be standard but was rarely done last year. At least not in public view. The guess is, Steve Spurrier wants this information to spread, giving other teams even more to think about.
. . . On consecutive passes, Shane Matthews had one ball broken up by Darrell Green (and should have been intercepted) and had another one tipped by Champ Bailey and grabbed by Jeremiah Trotter.
. . . Best throw: Sage Rosenfels to tight end Robert Royal on a seam route. Hit him in stride.
John Keim also has covered the Redskins for The Journal Newspapers for nine years.

Henrik Stenson one shot clear at World Tour Championship in Dubai
Henrik Stenson's form showed no sign of relenting as the Swede, hoping to create history by becoming the first player to win the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour and Race to Dubai crown on the European Tour, took a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the $US8 million DP World Tour Championship.
At the Earth course of Jumeirah Golf Estates, Stenson never looked in any trouble as he put together a stunning, bogey-free round of 8-under-par 64 - the joint best round of the day.
That gave the 37-year-old a two-day tally of 12-under 132, one better than overnight leader, Spain's Alezandro Canizares, who added a bogey-free 67 to his overnight 66.
Last week's Turkish Open champion, France's Victor Dubuisson, moved into contention again with a 66 that took him to tied third place at 8-under 136 alongside Aussie Marcus Fraser (69).
Among those who can deny Stenson the honour of becoming the European number one by winning this week, number two in the Race to Dubai standings, Justin Rose (67), and number four Ian Poulter (68) were tied for fourth place at 7-under 137 alongside Thai Kiradech Aphibarnrat (70).
Number three Graeme McDowell started the day with a bogey, but then regrouped with five birdies to finish with a 4-under 68 round.
Also moving in the right direction was the defending champion Rory McIlroy. The former world number one shot a 5-under 67 round to move up to tied ninth place at 6-under, six shots behind leader Stenson.

Just as the summer is coming to an end and the weather is cooling down, its great that the next few weeks and months will see new phone launches heating up the mobile world. Sony, who is a relatively small player in the android phone market, is the latest manufacturer to announce a new phone launch that will see the company launching the Xperia T on Vodafone very soon. In addition to Sony's latest phone, the Sony Xperia T and Xperia J will also be joining Vodafone's portfolio of phones in the next few months a move that was confirmed at Sony's press event at IFA on the 29th August by Kaz Hirai.
Sony has developed the Xperia T to be their best ever smartphone with HD and the phone must be good as it's rumoured to be James Bond's phone in the latest Bond film, Skyfall.
A Vodafone reviewer made the following comments about the phone:
"We could see early on that the build quality of the Xperia T is great and there are some clear points of differentiation on show to complement the great camera and display that we've come to expect. The integration of Sony's suite of entertainment services, for example, means you can access a host of rich content on the device – music, films, gaming, etc – and using NFC to enable one-touch sharing of content with other Sony devices is a really neat idea, well executed. People hold the Sony brand in high regard and it's going to be really interesting to see the reaction to the new range when it launches."
The Xperia T will be the flagship device; combining a large 4.6-inch 1280x720 screen offering HD Reality display, an excellent 13-megapixel camera, a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Krait processor, along with access to Sony's suite of entertainment services including PlayStation certification and one touch NFC connectivity. If you love being part of Facebook and Twitter, you'll love the design feature which means that the phone has an illuminated alert to let you know that you've either been sent a message or mentioned on one of the sites. The phone will be available to buy on either a pay as you go or a pay monthly tariff, but no price indications have been released as yet.
The Xperia Miro will also join the portfolio and is a phone that's been designed for those that want to own a smaller and more lightweight phone but yet offers you full Facebook integration, ideal for keeping you up to date with everything that's going on.
The Xperia J model will be lower priced and has been designed to satisfy looking for a budget phone whilst still offering a 4-inch screen and 5-megapixel camera and 1GHz core. Sony has also developed an Xperia V which has a 4.3-inch display, a 13-megapixel camera, 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm processor, is LTE-enabled as is water resistant and also comes with PlayStation certification. Sony has however confirmed that neither the Xperia V nor an Xperia TX model will be launched for the UK market.
All of the phones confirmed for launch will come with Android 4.0.4 and a Jelly Bean update has been scheduled for the Xperia T and V.
The Sony Xperia T will be launching at around the same time as the Apple iPhone 5, so it will be interesting to see how many Apple consumers could be tempted away from their latest release to try a new brand of phone. The Xperia T is set to be a great quality, innovative and stylish phone that promises great performance as well as the benefit of not being tied into iOS software and the restrictive iTunes software, both of which tend to be the root cause of consumers frustration with Apple, resulting in a steady shift of consumers switching to Android which on the whole offers you a more flexible operating system.
So if the Xperia T phone is good enough for Bond, yes James Bond it's surely got to be a phone worth looking out for if you're in the market for a new smartphone upgrade, but it may well be worth seeing what the iPhone 5 has to offer before making that all important purchase.

The 100-ton containment vessel is designed to avert a wider environmental disaster by collecting as much as 85% of the oil spewing into the Gulf and funnel it up to a tanker. It could take several hours to lower it into place, after which a steel pipe will be installed between the top of the box and the tanker.
The whole structure could be operating by Sunday.
"We haven't done this before," said BP spokesman David Nicholas. "It's very complex and we can't guarantee it."
The mission took on added urgency as oil started washing up on delicate barrier islands.
The technology has been used a few times in shallow waters, but never at such extreme depths - 5,000 ft down, where the water pressure is enough to crush a submarine.
The box must be accurately positioned over the well, or it could damage the leaking pipe and make the problem worse. Underwater robots have been clearing pieces of pipe and other debris near where the box will be placed to avoid complications.
Other risks include ice clogs in the pipes - a problem that crews will try to prevent by continuously pumping in warm water and methanol - and the danger of explosion when separating the mix of oil, gas and water that is brought to the surface.
If the box works, a second one now being built may be used to deal with a second, smaller leak from the sea floor.
The well blew open on April 20 when the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded 50 miles off the Gulf of Mexico coast, killing 11 workers. It has been spewing an estimated 200,000 gallons a day in the nation's biggest oil spill since the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska in 1989.

Babychops' Famous Salsa
Recipe by Babychops
Friends from work used to hire me to make this salsa for work functions as I always used fresh ingredients from my garden, it is so fresh & healthy I hope you enjoy it! Sadly the bunnies & squirrels have discovered my garden site & I no longer have one... Fresh from the garden is best! This recipe will feed a crowd, it has just enough kick and lovely flavor from the habeneros so add at least one if you're a bit chicken. I often use some of the salsa in omelets the next day - or add to tacos, etc. It will only last a few days as other than salt there are no preservatives so make it the day you plan to eat it for best results.
Top Review by loof751
This is a terrific salsa! I scaled it down to 1/3 of the recipe since there are only 2 of us eating it, but I used a whole habanero because we love them! This had a nice kick but was not overly spicy, and I enjoyed the tartness that the lime and tomatillos gave. Easy-to-make restaurant-quality salsa - thanks for sharing your recipe!
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 large beefsteak tomatoes
- 15 large tomatillos
- 3 large yellow onions
- 1 head garlic, peeled
- 3 jalapeno peppers
- 3 serrano peppers
- 2 habanero peppers
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 3 limes
- kosher salt
Directions See How It's Made

- chop onion into small bits unless you prefer smaller,
- then throw into food processor with garlic & peppers & pulse until desired texture.
- Thoroughly wash, drain & chop cilantro, add all to a large serving bowl.
- Squeeze the limes over everything (don't forget the salt as it completes & enhances the flavor), mix well & enjoy with Mission tortilla chips (those are best unless you have home made).

According to various sources, the Dodgers have agreed in principle with Cuban outfielder Yasiel Puig on a seven year, $42 million deal. The contract is awaiting MLB's approval and conditional on Puig passing a physical. The deal could become official tomorrow.
So there you have it. The big splash. New ownership walking the walk in terms of investing financially in this team's future. The only question is: does this deal make sense for the Dodgers?
Puig, a 21 year old Cuban native, successfully defected from his home country earlier this month. Previously, he played for Cuba's top league as a 19 year old, batting .330 with 17 home runs and more walks (49) than strikeouts (39). Unfortunately, that was his last taste of competitive ball upon which evaluators have to draw conclusions.
Yasiel was suspended from play in 2011-2012 from Cuba's top league for attempting to defect. After going to Mexico, he didn't participate in any games and hadn't picked up a bat until a bizarre workout last week, in which he showed up 2 hours late and only took batting practice.
The scouting reports on him are mixed. On one hand, he's got an MLB body at 6'3 and 210 pounds. He has power and speed, with boasts of 5 tool athleticism from his supporters. On the other hand, his recent workout and scarce opportunities to scout him have yielded unenthusiastic reports saying that he looks out of shape, lacks looseness in his swing and is raw in the outfield.
For $42 million, you want a guy who's going to produce. But that figure is inflated due to the impeding changes on the international free agent market. Along with sweeping changes to draft spending, the latest collective bargaining agreement places restrictions on how much teams can spend on amateurs from around the world. Starting on July 2, teams will have around $3 million per year to spend on players from Latin America, Asia, etc. This gave teams an impetus to get their spending in before the cap takes place, which is why the Cubs snagged Jorge Soler for $30 million and the Dodgers paid Puig $42 million. It should be noted that the Dodgers' offer was reportedly not the highest one Puig received.
So here's another million dollar question: is Yasiel worth it? Right now, that's impossible to tell. With negative scouting reports and a lack of scouting info on him, he's difficult to evaluate. However, he has the physical tools to succeed and be a good major leaguer.
In spite of his agent's claims, Puig isn't ready to play in the majors right now. He'll head to Arizona and possibly be assigned to an A ball affiliate. I'd expect him to begin 2013 in Double A as a 22 year old. If he succeeds there, then he should get a change in the show.
Personally, I see this move as more of a statement from ownership than a crafty acquisition. I think Walter, Kasten, Johnson et al feel they need to prove to the fanbase that they'll invest in the team long term. And that's exactly what this deal says. They're willing to gamble on an unproven player in order to show the fans they want to win. While I respect that idea, I have to question that pragmatism of throwing so much money at a guy who hasn't played in a year.
The Dodgers have now spent $287 million on Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Yasiel Puig. That's a ton of money for three players. If the Dodgers want to be competitive long term, they have to spend money. But, more importantly, they have to spend money wisely.
Stay tuned as I'm hoping to get some exclusive, expert opinions on the signing which will be added to this article later. In the mean time, check out the forums and be sure to follow @LADugout on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.

Princess classy as usual!: Emerald Princess Cruise Review by dandonna
Overall Member Rating
Princess classy as usual!
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Okay back to positive stuff. Our balcony guarantee paid off in a big way as we received an upgrade to Caribe 534 awesome balcony room with a giant balcony which we used everyday. From morning coffee to evening cocktails to even some spur of the moment Whoopee; yes I said it. PS- Our cabin steward Sigfreid was awesome and we tipped him well. (They truly work hard)
The cruise ship was immaculate and all we saw was crews continuing to clean, paint, and fix things throughout the cruise. Nice job Princess. More
All the pool areas were fun and clean and never a problem finding a chair or someone to get us a cocktail.
In terms of activities there was something for everyone. My wife loved the Zumba classes, dance classes, and Bingo which she won $100 bucks. I loved the football games on the giant movie screen by the pool and I loved my fellow cruisers. I met a ton of nice people from all over the world.
We really enjoyed both Sabbatinis (too much food but delicious) and Crown Grill(fantastic steak and top notch service) specialty restaurants; a great treat. We also did the Ultimate Balcony Dinner which was too good for words. Absolutely phenomenal; a must do if you have a balcony. In terms of the Main dining room it would be nice if princess mixed it up a bit with theme nights in the dining room; Caribbean night, Italian night, Mexican night, etc as the dining room was good but it did get a bit stale.
Entertainment was fine and first night show and the marriage game were the best. They had great live music throughout the cruise.
Everything on the trip went fine the usual delays here and there but nothing to bat an eye at. PS- Loved the Cosol tour company in St. Lucia; highly recommend them. This was our first 10 day cruise and we are now planning our first 14 day cruise and of course it will be with Princess. Happy sailing everyone! Less

The keyboard warriors on social media might want to shove racecaller Greg Miles into retirement, but owner Andy Gemmell needs him more than ever.
Gemmell, 63, has been blind since birth, but the Londoner adores the buzz of the track. After his horse Trip to Paris came home like a jetfighter to finish second in the Caulfield Cup, he's hopefully about to hear Miles tell him he's won the Melbourne Cup.
At trackwork for the international stars at Werribee on Thursday morning, he explained how a race unfolds for him.
"Obviously, there's the roar of the crowd when it starts, and then I listen to Greg Miles [on course] for the first half of the race," Gemmell explains. "But then I have to switch to the radio because you can't hear a thing in the last couple of furlongs because of the roar of the crowd. Greg is a wonderful caller."
They are timely words because Miles has been under attack following his disjointed call of the Caulfield Cup a fortnight ago.
He's still feeling bruised and battered after being widely criticised for his description of the final stages when he called home Mongolian Khan as "Magnolian Khan".
He apologised on radio the following day, explaining that an adverse reaction to hayfever medication was the reason – but not an excuse – for the call.
Yet the vitriol has continued to be so poisonous that he's abandoned his Twitter account.
"I don't see there's any value in it – there's too much bullshit," Miles says. "There's one per cent of value in Twitter and the rest isn't worth anything. I couldn't put up with all the crap they were putting out there, and that was well before last Saturday.
"Social media, everyone has a right to have a say. But I thought it was over the top. I put my hand up. I had made a mistake and I was apologetic for that. But the reaction was not commensurate with the crime. I'm my harshest critic, and I went home with my tail between my legs that day. I was kicking myself. I didn't need any help, and I got plenty.
"It still feels terrible. A major race like that you hate to be making excuses. After 35 years, I should not have been there."
When Miles called his first Melbourne Cup in 1979, there was no such thing as the Coward's Castle that is Twitter. On Tuesday, he nudges past Bill Collins's record of 34 calls of the famous race.
Of course, the criticism of Miles was absurd and disrespectful. As those in racing tell you, the man himself is as humble and self-effacing as they come.
Asked about breaking the record of Collins, he says: "I feel like an impostor. I feel like someone who has clubbed a bad single and beaten Bradman. I don't belong in their league. I started early, and mathematically if I kept going I would beat them. I'm proud to be mentioned in the same breath as blokes I idolised and thought the world of as racecallers and men."
Of Gemmell's comments, he said: "I might be calling his horse very close to the finish, won't I?"
Prancing with the stars
Now to the most important matter of the Cup carnival … who will be in the English-themed Emirates marquee?
On Cup day last year, rugby league star Andrew Johns was front and centre. This year, it will be retired Dragons star Matt Cooper, who has taken his popularity into the stratosphere on Dancing With The Stars.
He will be joined by former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting and AFL legend Chris Judd. On Derby Day, Eddie McGuire will rub shoulders with Kate Waterhouse and Nick Maxwell and Travis Cloke and whoever has conned their way into the fancy schmancy marquee.
Standoff in Tigerland
So we're hearing growing murmurs out of Tigerland that coach Jason Taylor is likely to lose the Mexican standoff with captain Robbie Farah and Wests Tigers management.
Taylor wants Farah gone. Farah wants to stay. Some officials at the Tigers have sided with Taylor, some with Farah. Meanwhile, other coaches are being discretely sounded out. Ivan Cleary, come on down.
We're expecting a resolution in a matter of weeks.
Pressing matters for Burgess
Not a happy Bunny: Sam Burgess is said to be furious with his treatment by the English rugby media. Photo: Brendan Esposito
Bloody media. If Sam Burgess does return to the NRL, switching codes for the second time in just over a year, you can blame the rabid English press for running him out of the game and maybe even his home country.
Make no mistake: this hasn't been in motion for months, as some believe. It only became reality about 10 days ago after Burgess was ridiculously fingered as the reason England exited the Rugby World Cup at the group stage.
Burgess is said to be furious about his treatment from the English press, who said there was division within the side because of the selection of the rugby league superstar.
It was Burgess who contacted Souths about making a return, not the other way around.
The stunning about-face is definitely on, but it is in no way a done deal. Bath must agree to release him.
Also, suggestions are flying around that Souths want to access some of that discretionary money Dave Smith bleated about last year that can be used to secure and retain big-name talent. Not so, apparently.
We all want Burgess back, but you can understand if questions are asked about how the 2014 premiers have the salary cap space to accommodate him.
Casey does it his way
Much respect for Casey Conway – a promising Roosters junior before his career was cut down by injury – for a brave story about his sexuality on the SBS website last week.
"I was up-and-coming, so they [Roosters officials] were cautious about going about it the right way," Conway, who is now a youth worker, explained. "They wanted to make sure I was looking after myself and accessing the support that I needed, and they were concerned about the club's image."
A proud Aboriginal man, he also put boxer Anthony Mundine in his place over his comments two years ago that homosexuality and Aboriginal culture don't mix.
"I don't think [his comments] were reflective of the Aboriginal community at all. For someone like him in a position of influence in the Aboriginal community, it was really disappointing," he said. "There are young people out there hearing comments like that and they're questioning themselves."
Raper's tip: share a schooner or two

When you are hunting down history, looking to carve out your own piece of sporting folklore, you could do worse than elbow your way to the bar and pull up a stool next to rugby league Immortal Johnny Raper.
With the NSW Breakers women's cricket team - led by the indomitable Alex Blackwell - on the precipice of joining the famous Dragons side of the 1950s and 1960s with 11 premierships, it makes sense.
"I had a good chat with Johnny about it, and he certainly had a few tips about how we can get to 11," says Blackwell. "His main point was that we need to stick together, and socialise as a team as much as possible. That was his main point."
Old rugby league heads will not be surprised one bit.
The fabled success of St George, who claimed 11 consecutive premierships between 1956 to 1966, was built around camaraderie that was often fuelled at bonding sessions after midweek training.
"He did mention that a few drinks together never hurt," Blackwell smiles.
Of course, the Breakers are a professional outfit, and their tearaway success can be attributed to the serious attitude that Cricket NSW puts into the women's program.
"We are treated equally - there is no difference between the men's and women's programs," says Blackwell, who has played in all 10 of her side's Women's National Cricket League titles, five of them as captain.
The Breakers' season starts at 10am this Sunday at Hurstville Oval - right in the middle of Dragons heartland - when they take on Queensland in the opening round. "Every team always wants to knock us off," she says.
Oh, and for the record, Blackwell is Rabbitohs fan.
"But we have been made aware for a while now about St George's 11 in a row," she says.
Question and Answer
Blood and guts: Scott Fardy. Photo: Getty Images
We speak to the bearded Wallabies blindside flanker Scott Fardy ahead of that not-so-small game against the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham on Sunday morning, our time.
How's the week gone?
It's been a great week. We're really feeling the support from home. We know the fans are getting up and watching us play. All the players are feeling the momentum swell coming from everyone. We want to do the country proud on Saturday.
That David Pocock bloke seems to go alright ...
Yeah, he's not a bad footballer.
The eye shadow he's been wearing this week is a bit suspect, though.
It looks like he's been stung by a few bees under the eyes there. He's on the mend. He's getting better and better each day. He's starting to look like a panda at the moment.
Great look. That will strike the fear of god into the All Blacks.
What's it like being out there in the middle when he's playing the way he plays?
You don't really see it, because he pops up after what he does. He just dominates that ruck contest, week in and week out. You see it after. You're either alongside him or he's already at the next play. He's always sniffing around for the football.
Your own form has been great. So has that of the whole back row. Can you put that down to anything?
The back row is only as good as the front five in front of it. The whole pack has been playing well.
And tell us about playing at Twickenham. It's pumping.
It's quite surreal. This is our fifth game in a row there. It's strange because we've become used to playing there every week. It's a special place. It's a noisy venue, too.
The Week
"It's below the belt." - Racing Victoria chief steward Terry Bailey after six shots were fired into his front door by a semi-automatic weapon, not the next door neighbour refusing to return his whipper snipper.
In March, when David Pocock pointed out homophobia during a Super Rugby match, he was accused of trying to divert attention away from his indifferent form. We ask where those critics might be now as he gives Wallabies fans reason to believe a World Cup final victory over the All Blacks is possible.
This is almost a thumbs up because there's something beautifully imperfect in watching Chelsea and manager Jose Mourinho fall flat on their face in the English Premier League, inconceivably edging closer to the abyss of relegation. Sometimes - even in the EPL - it's not just about the money.
It's a big weekend for ... Nigel Owens, who will referee his first Rugby World Cup final. Given the scrutiny - and performance - of the referees at this tournament, let's hope we aren't talking about him on Sunday morning.
It's an even bigger weekend for ... the fashion police, because if you fail to pick a winner at Flemington on Derby Day take solace in the fact that someone is wearing a cheaper suit than you. Or dress. Whatever floats your boat.

I love to hear good jokes, to laugh very loud and to live my life at its full potential! Meeting and having fun with new people it's one of my ways to live! Being coquettish and stylish everyday also defines me. Cooking is not one of my favorite activities, but I do know basic cooking.
My Fantasies
Some of my dreams are to learn to speak French and Italian at the highest level and to travel and visit lots of new places such as Greece, Caraibes and Dubai. I imagine myself on an exotic beach in the arms of a strong man, holding me and touching my naked body and making hot sex with me in the sea in the middle of the night!
My Obsessions & Desires
My fetish speaks about me, entering the house, everything is dark, besides the bedroom which is lightened by the perfumed candles. When I enter the room the bed is covered of red and white roses, I can see that the door from the bathroom is opened. I'm approaching to the bathroom and there he is waiting for me, all muscles, with his perfect smile and hot tanned body, wearing nothing but a long white towel. Near him waits for us a bathtub filled with hot water and foam and a bottle of champagne kept in ice beside a plate with juicy strawberries. You can imagine the other part of the story by yourself or you can let me know how do you think this might happen between us two!
Additional Info
I do not feel attracted to women, all my senses are on fire when my eyes are delighted watching a man which really cares about his appearance, that has muscles and nice tattoos, preferably over 30, who has a bad boy attitude rather than being a gentleman. I like men who can handle me!
Special Info
When I was little I dreamed about being a teacher! Now I am more focus of teaching only men, not boys anymore! I feel that I have so much to give to that man who will conquest my mind, then my heart and at the end all the senses from my entire body! The most deepest desire that finds very well kept in my soul is about having a beautiful life with someone that knows very well to cherish, support and understand me!

TV for tots isn't all bad, says Duncan Fine, and the right choices can be positively inspiring - for you and them.There are few ways to get parents confused, fingers wagging and eyebrows raised than to talk about kids and television. Should they watch any at all? Should parents set limits like one hour a day? Or is that too much? Or too little? After all, why can't kids (like their worn-out parents) just flop down after a long day and enjoy a little down-time in front of the box?When it comes to our kids, to borrow from a bloke named Shakespeare, TV or not TV; that is the question. Studies have shown that Australian children begin watching television from an early age, with an average of 44 minutes at 4 months building to 2 1/2 hours a day by 4 years. Ultimately it's for every parent to use their own judgement but sometimes it can be difficult because it seems everyone you talk to has a different opinion.
...a new word created by Dad (and Mum) to describe their BIG GUY who moves backward with his head when lying on his back - sort of like a caterpillar.

Don't Be Silenced.
The National Coalition Against Violent Athletes supports survivors of athlete violence through counseling services, legal services and advocacy services. Our services are vital to ensuring that a survivor receives as much information possible in order to make informed decisions and remove the elements of fear in moving forward.
Of course, the goal of the NCAVA is to minimize the number of victims of violence, therefore, we also work with men and women to educate them on the issues of sexual assault and relational violence. We also strive to help those who become the support persons in the survivor's life. Feel free to download and print After a Friend's Been Assaulted so that you can respond compassionately and knowledgeably to the sexual assault of a friend or loved one.
Our If You've Been Raped handout helps survivors to know their rights after being assaulted and offers suggestions as to how to respond in the immediate
aftermath of sexual assault to improve their chances of justice.
Don't believe the Myths About Rape. Be informed and ready to trash the rape myths that are used daily to vilify victims.

Why We're Different:
"Almost four years ago we learned that our daughter had been sexually assaulted while in her third year of college. After receiving no assistance from her school, from local or state police, crisis/women's centers and being turned away from three attorneys because of lack of evidence, we felt hopeless, frustrated and angry. After some Google searching and because the attackers were athletes I came across the NCAVA website. For the first time we felt that someone really understood what was happening. The NCAVA was a Godsend. They gave us advice, support and courage. They referred us to a victims right attorney, handled the media, counseled us and contacted the university on our behalf. This organization needs to be this specialized because there is no help for victims of people with high status and high value. Without the NCAVA's support and referrals, our daughters voice would not have been heard and changes at the school would not have been made. Today, my daughter is helping other victims which continues her healing process."
