LG Voyager and Venus available for Pre-Order
- LG Venus in Back: $199 on a 2 year contract and $369 at full retail.
- LG Voyager: $299 on a 2 year contract and $469 at full retail.
The 2 year pricing is incorporating a $50 Instant Rebate. If you wait to purchase the phone from a Verizon Store, you will then pay $50 more for the 2 year price and will be given a $50 Mail in Rebate to complete and send it. There also seems to be a little confusion as to when the pre-orders for the Voyager placed through the web site will be shipped. Some sources list Nov 21st, while others say it has been changed to Nov 16th. We will update you once we know positive which date the pre-orders are to be shipped
Unfortunately, the Venus in Pink is not listed on the web site. We have been told the pink Venus will we not be released until mid-December. We don't understand why this is, since it makes more sense to have it available before Black Friday (Thanksgiving Weekend).
Please continue to check PhoneArena for updates on the Venus and Voyager, as well as our Full Reviews expected later this month.
Verizon's Next site now show the Voyager with an Available (shipping and in-store) date of Nov 21. The Venus in Black will be on Nov 19, but the Venus in Pink will not be out until Dec 11.

Verizon thanks for not changing on me. Im so proud of you. Maybe I should cook you dinner. What are you doin Nov. 21st....saaaay..... 7:00pm?
2. Kirk (unregistered)
Verizon says neither the Venus nor the Voyager can be pre-ordered. This in spite of publicizing the pre-order day - today - form months now. Anyone know why? Please, don't blame the UI for this.

I was able to preorder the Venus, but not the Voyager. The website is having problems processing Voyager preorders right now.
4. Beault (unregistered)
according to verizon they weren't suppose to be out online today, thats why everybody is having trouble with the voyager, but there was about a 15 minute period when people were able to order them, but unfortanatly i missed it. they said that they are trying to fix the mistake, and that there is no set preorder or release date as of 10 minutes ago

I just spoke with a Tier 3 Internet Tech about the Pre-Order issue with the Voyager. She said that they are aware that some customers cannot place pre-orders while others can. They consider this a Priority 1 issue and they have been working on resolving it since 8am. They have received a lot of calls from customers that are having the Pre-order problem. The IT Department said they expect the issue to be fixed within the next 24 hours.

What about LG Earth, Mars, Jupiter. and all of the other planets?
7. Dickskin Condoms Rock (unregistered)
Verizon are idiots. They should have anticipated an overwhelming amount of transactions for this phone. This is a situation that could have been addressed long before it became a problem. Learn from the Iphone, PS3 and other electronic releases.

Your pre ordering here folks... lol you still have more than enough time to "Pre-order" the phone that you want before it actually releases. Patience is a virtue, you cant always get what you want, and if you don't, you certainly dont have to stomp around like a bratty kid kicking and screaming LOL
9. sweetjen (unregistered)
Nov. 11. I tried pre-ordering the Voyager and like everyone else I couldn't so I called customer service and they told me that they all got an email that the voyager can not be pre-order until Nov. 11. Hopefully verizon won't screw the date again.
10. (unregistered)
umm yeah there was no email....no one knows why it's not letting you pre order, maybe it's system issue maybe it's like the blackberry when had the html code someone hit release for pre order in error, just like the other guy with cry me a river no one can get it till 11/21 anyway, it's going to be half the price that icrap was and better, gggeeess people didn't you learn from icrap not to jump on it right away anyway how much you want to bet the price drops around the holiday....DUH.
11. sweetjen83 (unregistered)
I just pre-ordered the Voyager :) To be able to pre-order the phone you need to change your plan to a Nation Wide Calling Plan. If you already have verizon you are likely to be on Americas Choice Calling Plan. It even says it on the verizon website on the bottom of picture of the voyager that you need to change to a Nation Wide Calling Plan in order to be able to pre-order the Voyager. So everyone try that and you should be able to pre-order your phone like me :)
12. Beca (unregistered)
Yes you can pre-order the phone! I went and logged onto my account and went to "Upgrade my Phone" and it worked that way, although i had to upgrade my plan as well. When I clicked on the link to pre-order on the home page it wasn't letting me pre-order whatsoever....Hope this helps...

Any word on the 6800 release??? These LG phones are nice, but they are more for highschool and middle school. The 6800 is for business professionals.
14. Boot Leg Bill (unregistered)
Everyone should be able to pre-order the voyager starting on 11-11-2007 without a price plan change
15. V-Lover (unregistered)
I wish I could keep the same plan and have the Voyager. I lost out on 450 minutes by changing plans. To #14, I hope what you say is true, cus I love my 900 minute plan.
16. VZGuy (unregistered)
Why would you have lost 450 minutes? National pricing and am ch are the same pricing/minute tiers. 900 minutes is the same as it was. no loss!
17. Junior (unregistered)
Completely off topic: Anyone know if Verizon is gonna get the LG Viewty?? Or what carrier?? These phones are OK lookin', nothing more.
18. V-lover (unregistered)
I still pay the same price but I chose the 2nd plan through my new every two. I could have misread, but Im sure I now have 450 minute plan. 900 minute plan was $79.99. I hope VZ can fix it if its a mistake.
19. Sammo or Bolo (unregistered)
You know, I really wisht that all these other carriers can just shut the hell up! The fact that their carriers didn't get the Venus and Voyager gives them a license to act like assclowns? The reality is, if AT&T or T-Mobile came out with these phones, it would be the greatest thing in the world. How come no one wants to give credit to Verizon for effort, even if it's not the greatest thing in the world. Again, you can't satisfy everyone, however, I think VZW is making great strides. We may not have the best looking technology in the world, but it sure does work. I think the only time it didn't for me was when I was in Southern Utah. But hey, whatever man. Either ways, all I can say about the Venus and the Voyager is that the phones look impressive and I can't wait for a review on phonearena.com. The Voyager is mine on November 21! What a Thanksgiving gift!
20. Frustrated (unregistered)
I FINALLY got everything to work for my online order & the 50off code says "criteria wasn't met". Ugh!
21. QueenBNYNJ (unregistered)
Just got off the phone with verizon... after trying to pre-order the phone for days I was told that there was issue with the website. I checked again last night and it seems like everything was fixed and available to order. I recieved another error message while attempting to change my plan and called verizon. They explained that phone is not available for pre-order in certain areas yet they may be available in other areas. They are still advertising as available for pre-order. Very annoying! I will have to see if I can get it on the 21st in the store. My current phone is hanging on by a thread. UGHHHH!!!!
22. jphilpott (unregistered)
My fiance and I share a family plan, and because of that I can not pre order the Voyager. That is some shady business by Verizon right there...UGH!
23. QueenBNYNJ (unregistered)
I am also on a family share plan. I feel your pain.
24. (unregistered)
If your on a family share....call and update your plan to Nation family share then you can pre order. We are trying to get everyone on the same system now and that is the new plan, if you don't want charges with data just block it thats free. Any call center you call can bring up your account now, if your in west east can help if your on vacation in florida and from AZ they can bring up your account and upgrade ya. It may be a huge issue for some but in the long run will make your cell phone life easyer. Verizon allows you to pre order, but we are just trying to have people go on the new plan to make it better.
25. The real Deal (unregistered)
OK OK OK .... here it is, straight from the horses mouth! The issue with the pre-ordering was that customers on "older price plans" should never even have been able to see the "Pre-order" option, however they could. ALSO this is a big one here... when you see an add that says "Pre-order here" whatyou also want to look at is the terms that you would need to follow to do so. As previously mentioned to pre order the phones it states right on the site that you have to change to a new "Nationwide" calling plan. Now as far as the plans go, there are 3 tiers of plans available. Basic, Premium, and select. If you are on any old Americas choice or Americas choice family share plan you can select the identicle plan through the Nationwide "BASIC" plan and the only change you will see is to the name of the plan. Nobody is losing minutes or being charged more for anyhing.... I must stress this again... READ READ READ... you wouldnt believe how many problems you could fix on your own if you just read the information in front of you... ALL OF IT ... lol The Select plan takes the same "Basic" Plans and encorporates unlimited texting for all lines on that plan. Its about $20.00 more for standalone plans and $30.00 more for family share plans, secondary lines still $9.99. Lastly there is the "Premium" plan which incorporates Unlimited Messaging, VPAK, NAV & EMAIL, plans starting at 79.99.... so thats the scoop!!!
26. jphilpott (unregistered)
I got it all fixed...we have Verizon w/ Onstar and so I had to call another call center to get it straightened out but now all is well. Unless of course the Voyager ends up like the Xbox 360 and on release day they realize oops, we don't have enough to fill the demand, lol...
27. The Truth (unregistered)
I will do my best to answer all of your questions. 1. You do not need to change your plan to pre order the phone. It doesnt say it on the website, and it makes no sense to assume that it needs to be on a National Plan. The new plan are only to transition into a new billing platform and it outlines some new terms toward data use. So for those afraid to change your plan, Dont be. its still the same tier of minutes on the same service that has always been there. 2. The website can frequent issues. Yes the website isnt perfect. And for those that seem they think they know why the preorder functionality isnt working, stop with the creative guessing. 3. Many have made the point. Each billing region(thier are 4 in the US) has a certain alotment of voyagers available for distribution. You do want to pre order this device. I forsee it going very fast. For those that dont know, Cellular carriers always save thier best devices for the holiday season. Christmas sales is like a last effort to beef up the sales revenue for the year. this is going to be one of the coolest devices Verizon will have for a minute. If you can afford it(only$199.99 if you are eligible for ne2) Please believe, this phone is hottttt!
28. plansss (unregistered)
My problem is that while this phone looks great, I would have to shell out 80 dollars a month to get the features I would get with the iPhone for $60 a month. I know the VZW plan would have unlimited text, but I only use about 100. I just want e-mail and web. I know the iphone would cost more initially, but factor in the price of a micro sd card and there isn't much difference left. Does anyone know something about plan pricing I don't?
29. stopcrying (unregistered)
ok, first of all. for every1 having problems pre-ordering online, you have to switch from america's choice/family to nationwide. its the same plan but more features (optional). everything's the same price. once you switch over (call customer service and dial 0 to get a direct rep) let them know you want to switch from amer choice to nationwide, make sure you want the same mins and monthly payment as america choice. BUT, in order to have that plan take in affect (so you can order the voyager) you must wait til your billing cycle ends for the america's choice plan. NOW, this is a way for it to go in affect immediately (i forgot the weird name they used) but you can get it affected right there in then. the only thing is, for example; if you have... lets say 6 more days til your next billing cycle is due and you're on a 900min a month plan and you're at 840mins, you're new plan has already switched to the nationwide plan because you asked it to be taken effect right there and then. so, you're left with 60mins til the billing cycle. that's the only risk from switching the nationwide plan right away. like me, in order for me to pre-order online was to switch, which i did, BUT... it wasnt going to take in affect til the 23rd of nov. and i called to switch on the 9th. the rep warned me that i only have 964 mins from now til the 23rd (im on a fam plan 2100 sharing 4 phones) so i took the risk and said "go ahead and lets switch it now cuz i want to pre-order the voyager real bad." then the rep said i was qualified for extra 500 mins.(i guess because i was a long time customer, i dont know, you can ask if you're eligible) so after the phone conversation, we hung up and sure enough i got back on the verizon website and it finally allowed me to place the "pre-order"

This says how to preorder the Voyager: http://estore.vzwshop.com/voya
gerMust have a Nationwide plan.
31. cHuBz (unregistered)
Hi plansss, just to let you know that you are not required to get the $80 plan to use the voyager. If you will only use the email and web, you can get the Nationwide Select plan ($39.99/mo), then the Mobile Email ($5.00/mo). then if you want unlimited megabytes of use for the web, get the VCast VPak ($15.00/mo). For texts, since you do not use that much, it would not make sense for you to get the $10.00/mo unlimited IN texting/500 other networks, but you may do so if you want. you can also avoid the $5/mo Mobile Email, if you are fine accessing your emails thru Mobile Web (included on VCast VPak). Of course there are more features available on the Voyager like the Navigator ($9.99 per month, or $2.99 per 24 hour use), and MobileTV (add'l $10, if you subscribe to VCast, $15 if MobileTV only), but if you don't need those, then you do not need to get them. Hope this helps.
32. cHuBz (unregistered)
I meant Nationwide BASIC plan for $39.99/mo... sorry.
33. cellpimp (unregistered)
if i already pre ordered the voyager and the release date in stores is on the 21st, when with they ship the pre orders?
34. cHuBz (unregistered)
That's the same question I have... I pre-ordered (luckily without any problems) on Nov 8th, and my question is when it is going to be shipped and delivered? I've heard rumors that it will ship on the 16th, but nothing is for sure. They did not even offer overnight shipping (i'm willing to pay for it!), just regular FREE 2-5 business day shipping... We are going out of town for thanksgiving and I am hoping to get it by then. I thought of just going into the store on the 21st, but i thought what if they get all sold out before i even get there (i know unlikely but possible, you'll never know). Hopefully when somebody knows when the preorders will ship, please post it here... i check my order status everyday (okay, every hour... LOL) and it says "your order is awaiting approval or phone availability, please check back in a few days"... sigh! ehehhe...
35. VZ Customer (unregistered)
What if you don't want to change your plan just to get the phone? What if you just buy the phone at retail and try and put your number on it? That's GARBAGE that you have to change your plan just because it uses 'data'. What if the area you live in doesn't support that? I have a 1000 minute plan for 49.99 and I shouldn't have to change my plan to spend money on a new phone. Get a clue verizon, you finally adapted the not change contract term when changing plan, so jump on the ball w/ this one too.
36. NE Phil (unregistered)
in response to all of you.... if you just read "what you need to know" you would have removed the need for almost all of these posts... you people are ridiculously ignorant, even when we do put the information right in front of your faces! The change of the price plan wont change what you pay per month whats so ridiculous about that? no extra money no more cashs dollars than what you spent last month... no mo cash... hows that? and it does list on the site in clear black and white that to preorder you must first change pp to new pp then wait for confirmation email then you can preorder... this is str8 from the horses mouth.. I dont understand why you people throw your arms up in a tizzy at every change made... WOW just WOW its amazing at how little you actually know and how much you complain about things that arent really relivant! pp change yes, difference in price from what you pay now... no... get a clue and read, or think before you speak!!!!!!!!!
37. cellpimp (unregistered)
all i got to say is, "i got mine, you better get yours!" (full retail, because im still under contract $508.76) #35, refer to #'s 11, 12, 25, 30... also, go to this youtube site..http://youtube.com/watch?v=ost
38. cHuBz (unregistered)
Well, that is not entirely true... See, I am on America's Choice 450 ($39.99/mo), and I have the Unlimited In-texting/50 outside for $5/mo (which is totally fine, i don't have that much outside contacts). That txt plan does not exist anymore, and the minimum you can get is the $10/mo with unlimited in txt/500 outside, so this is actually $5 more per month if i change my plan (which is ok for me i guess). That's the only difference i can see so far, all other options are the same in price (navigator, mobile email, vcast). I know the BASE plans do not change in price (450 mins still $39 for BASIC, etc), but the options, mainly the txt part, changed by removing the $5 option.
39. Janet (unregistered)
You can get 250 text/pic messages for $5. You can text to anyone, even those not on verizon. It's not advertised online but you can call up and have it added on to your plan....that's what I did...there's also a 100 text/pix plan for $2.99....verizon doesn't advertise these text plans so the consumer doesn't know and just picks what the lowest advertised price they see...but those text plans do exist and you can add it to the nationwide plans...hope that helps.
40. cHuBz (unregistered)
Really... when I upgraded my phone (on another line in my account), I asked the rep to retain the America's Choice plan as I do not want any changes to the plan. he told me that the $5 txt plan does not exist anymore, but he did something for me to keep it on my plan. That's when i knew they are probably trying to get rid of it. now for the 250 txt/pic, is it unlimited IN txt/pic, then 250 other networks, or 250 altogether? i would even get the $2.99 if it is unlimited IN txt/pic then 100 outside. Thanks again!!
41. Janet (unregistered)
It's 250 all together...I don't even go over 100 texts per month, so 250 is good enough for me, just like to have the extra texts just in case I go over...I guess it depends on how much you text....

36 hate to pop your world but 25 is wrong. And 27 the real answers are the real WRONG answers. IF you read right on the main page it says to change to national plans wait for confirmation email then pre order. You have to be logged in under my account. You can only pre order it online till 11/21 you all need to chill and if you have a question call the real people Verizon Wireless instead of taking the word from people who think they know the real stuff. GGGEEESSS it's a cool phone but people stop and think and READ! I sware if people would stop and read on the page where your ordering this phone You'd have your answers there.

47. amathre (unregistered)
hey i am debating whether or not to pre-order the voyager right now or not (i still would have to switch to the new nationwide plan) but when i started the process on the website of learning about it i read that by switching plans the New Every Two discount would be eliminated!!! is that true or did i miss something? I will probably still switch to the voyager but that $100 discount goes a long way when thinking about which new phone to get after the 20 or so months with verizon.... sorry in advance if you think this is a dumb question ; )
48. cHuBz! (unregistered)
I'm pretty sure you will not lose the New Every 2 Program when you preorder... But since it is already 11-15-2007, it would be best for you to just wait and go to the store on 11-21... good luck!
49. whoa (unregistered)
The problem was that your plan CODE for the website needed to be changed. All of the plans before national work, but because of the attempt to transition away from them (the old ones), and to have the better data packages included (some of 5+ year old ones don't) they had this phone set on newer codes/plans only. I called a verizon rep and within an hour pre-order worked fine. I also asked a verizon rep about new every two, she said that it should still be fine, however the discounts on the website may not be right yet. 44 is most likely not an employee and lying. I did NOT have to change my plan and I DID actually pre-order the phone. Btw 44 I had a national plan from when they first started offering it. It wasn't the plan... it was the code.

The British Kitesurfing Association (BKSA)'s national competition tour starts in April with a new event in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.
The BKSA Dong Energy Clacton Easter Weekender will take place on 6 to 8 April, where the country's best kitesurfers will go head-to-head in freestyle and race divisions propelled by powerful kites.
Event organiser and BKSA Chairman Richard Gowers is looking forward to visiting a new location. He said: 'We're really looking forward to starting off the 2012 championship tour with a brand new event. Clacton-on-Sea is the perfect venue to get things started as the beach works well in a variety of wind and tide conditions.
'Kitesurfing is an exciting sport for both competitors and spectators, and has seen a great increase in popularity over the past few years. Clacton is known as the 'Sunshine Coast' so we're hoping for some good winds and sunshine for the Easter Weekender so our competitors can put on a good show.'
The region is well known in the kitesurf community for consistent and reliable wind conditions ? a fact borne out by the presence of the Gunfleet Sands wind farm 7 km offshore from Clacton.
Operated by event sponsors Dong Energy, the wind farm's 48 turbines generate enough electricity to power 125,000 homes.
Christian T. Skakkeb?k, senior vice president and head of DONG Energy's UK Wind Power said: 'We're very pleased to sponsor this event that harnesses the power of the wind for a fun sporting activity. DONG Energy's Gunfleet Sands wind farm, that harnesses the power of the wind to provide green electricity, will be the perfect backdrop for the event, demonstrating our commitment to offshore wind energy in the UK and bringing benefits such as a kitesurfing competition to local communities.'
David Ursell is the founder of the Push Kiting kite sports school in the town, and has been kiting there for over 17 years.
David said the venue of Martello Tower Bay on Hastings Avenue is a great beach for spectators. He said: 'It's one of the smaller bays so the competitors in the freestyle event will be right in front of the crowds.
'Conditions are affected by the wind direction; in a south-westerly, westerly or north-easterly we have ideal conditions as the water surface will be flat and calm; if it's easterly you'll need to be ready for some choppy waters. Let's hope we have some wind and sun for a great start to the season for kitesurfing and the British tour.'
Local competitor Jake Moore, from Clacton, came fourth overall in the amateur men's championships last year. Currently training in the Caribbean, Jake, 19, is likely to be one competitor to watch at the 'Easter Weekender', where he will be using knowledge of his home beach to his advantage.
Sponsored by Dong Energy, Push Kiting and Edgeriders, the 'Easter Weekender' starts on Friday 6 April with the pro men and pro ladies freestyle rounds, with Saturday 7 April seeing a full programme of competition including course racing, and freestyle heats for pro men, pro ladies, amateur men, amateur ladies, seniors, youths and juniors.
On both days rider briefings will be held at 9am and the first heats will take to the water at 10am, with the running order for Sunday 8 April decided on the previous day.
The event has also received support from Tendring District Council, Best, Mutiny, King of Watersports, Ion and Palmera Local.
Organisers have also announced the full 2012 tour line up with seven events taking place across the UK. The national champions will be crowned at the final event at Westward Ho! in October.
During the 2012 series the UK's top riders will compete in five different disciplines. Propelled by powerful kites, on the water kitesurfers will compete in freestyle, wave and course racing competitions; land-based disciplines include freestyle kite landboard and kite buggy.

Why won't my login stick?

Three different devices, so I know it's not me. I have to login every single time I come to the boards. It's frustrating, annoying, and time consuming. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I haven't had a new post on my board since Thursday, and that's about when this trouble started for me. Spare me the "we're working hard" and "I'm sorry you're having trouble" line. I want to know when it's going to be fixed.
Has anything been fixed in the past six weeks? We haven't seen any improvements in a long time. Someone else already said this, and I was thinking it- I'm really wondering about the competence of the iVillage tech team.

I've been having the same log in issue for several days now, but declined to mention it to the techs/mods. There are a whole host of other new issues I've been having over the past week too and I've just quit submitting complaints altogether. I figure I'll just use the boards until they're no longer usable (and they're pretty close now) and then I'll just move on to another community. Like everyone else I'm tired of the be patient/we're sorry/we hope it'll be fixed soon statements, but at the same time even if we were given a specific timetable for each fix I don't believe for a second it'll be adhered to.

I am having the same annoying problem! I have to log on(in) to the site where only last week it was fine.

Hi Shy,
It is not you. There is an issue with log in that has been reported and is being looked into. I haven't heard any other information on it, other than many people are dealing with it. If I find out anything new, I'll let you know.

Hey Karla,
I am glad it isn't just me having log-in problems. Sometimes I get in straight away and others it just won't let me log in. I can't even stay logged in . I know Heidi is experiencing problems as well.

When thinking of complete tranquility and zen-like qualities, we doubt that the word "barn" comes to mind. After seeing this amazing home by Christopher Simmonds Architecture, you will probably think a little different.
Not only is the home a peaceful escape from the outside world, this Ottawa space is also in the process of becoming certified for a LEED Platinum rating. The structure itself is a clean, linear vision with glazing and wood all over. The view to the interior is crisp and white with pops of red accents and neutral tones. Heated concrete flooring makes the minimal space a luxe experience, with the main objects of decor on the walls and within the furniture.

Friday, the Decatur Jr. Woman's Club hosted their annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament, and it was an amazing success. The event profited over $5000 that will directly impact our local community in donations to WARM, CASA, Wise Choices Pregnancy Resource Center, and Wise County Christian Counseling.
I worked the tournament, and in the midst of the fouls, free throws, and food, I kept thinking about those charities and the work they do for our community. Personally, I'm not in a position to give massive amounts of money to charity-I give what I can, and and then give my time to make up the difference. And, I can also attend fun events, and give small amounts of money that might add up to larger amounts. They say "every little bit counts."
Next week is National Volunteer Week, and there will be snippets of community service offerings everywhere. Take just a moment and look around at our little town, and see if you can fit in a few minutes here, a few more moments there-or even sign up for an event or two. You never know-you could have fun, support your community, and help make a difference all at the same time.

Westhill Consulting Insurance – Connecticut learns less is more with state health insurance
Angel Medina, 21, went to talk to an Affordable Health Care act navigator in Hartford. Medina was dropped from his mother's health insurance two years ago.
"I have really bad eyes. I like to get them checked often, but since I don't have health insurance, no doctor's going to really want to take a look at me," he said.
He found out that he may qualify for Medicaid, which was long-drawn-out under Obamacare.
So far, 9,123 have enrolled over Connecticut's ultimate goal is to sign up 275,000 people.
Kevin Counihan, chief executive officer of Connecticut's health exchange, says he's not discouraged by the number of people signing up for private health insurance.
"Buying health insurance is expensive and it's expensive and it's confusing and it's complicated. So no, I am not disappointed by it. However, we clearly have a strong goal to meet by March," he said.
Counihan look forward to have 100,000 people enrolled by the end of March. He credits the state's computer system with the smooth even out.
"Number one is, less is more. Do fewer things well than try to do more things inconsistently. Two is test the heck out of the system and make sure that before you go live, you are pretty darn confident that you know what is going to happen. And three is hire the best people that you can," he said.
Counihan was implicated with Massachusetts' health insurance rollout in 2006. He says that taught him people don't buy insurance like they do a book or car. They usually consider the options an average of 18n times before making up their minds.
He foresees a sprint of people signing up between Thanksgiving and Dec. 15, which in case is the deadline for coverage beginning on Jan. 1.

From West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
-- As is traditional with Veteran's Day approaching, rate reductions are in effect for West Virginia State Parks and Forests lodge and cabin rentals from Nov. 3 through 17 for active military personnel or those having served or who are now in the reserves.
The reduced rate is 20 percent from standard rates and is available by asking for the veteran's recognition discount.
"Veterans appreciation discounts have become a tradition at West Virginia State Parks and Forest near Veteran's Day each year," said Ken Caplinger, chief of parks. "Initially, the offer was observed just on the holiday but has since been extended. Our recognition of men and women currently serving our country, in the reserves or who have served in the past, is important."
West Virginia State Parks and Forests have several active reservists in the work force, including superintendents Ernie Adkins at Kanawha State Forest, Erik Evans at Little Beaver, and Rob Sovine at Bluestone Wildlife Management Area.
Parks and forests with lodge or cabins options include: Beech Fork, Blackwater Falls, Bluestone, Cacapon Resort, Canaan Valley Resort, Cass Scenic Railroad, Chief Logan Lodge, Hawks Nest, Holly River, Kumbrabow State Forest, Lost River, North Bend, Pipestem Resort, Stonewall Resort, Twin Falls Resort, Tygart Lake and Watoga.

This is my favourite low end body wash. It smells of grapefruits and goes great with AG Eau d'Hadrien. I use it with a body poof and it is really invigorating in the morning.

Take one look at the 2004 "MoneyTree Survey" by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association, and you'll see that most venture capital goes to companies that develop cutting-edge technologies. The siren call of high tech, nanotech, and biotech seems impossible for VCs to resist.
But there is good news for low-tech companies. Behind the headlines, many VCs are investing in low-tech (or no-tech) companies that offer prospects of rapid growth, job creation and excellent economic return. In fact, well-managed companies in any industry can score VC dollars if they know where to look. Following are lessons from three low-tech entrepreneurs who found financing gold.
Right on Target
At first glance, Summit Partners, a private equity and VC firm with offices in Boston, London and Palo Alto, California, looks like any other high-tech venture fund. Since 1984, the firm has invested more than $5.5 billion in more than 250 companies, including Silicon Valley icons McAfee and WebEx. But as managing partner Joseph F. Trustey says, the firm is not blind to nontechnology opportunities: "Tech investments represent only 40 percent to 60 percent of our portfolio. Our real growth areas over the last couple of years have been low-tech-consumer products, healthcare, business services and financial services, for example."
One of Summit's most surprising investments is in family-owned Tippmann Pneumatics Inc. TPI, founded in 1986, supplies air-powered guns called "markers" for the sport of paintball. The company met Summit's initial criteria--revenue, profit, strong management and an industry-leading product but Summit was skeptical about the market size.
"We had no idea how big an industry paintball was," says Trustey. "We initially thought there wasn't much for us here. But what jumped out at us was the size of the market and very attractive industry dynamics."
Paintball is now the fastest-growing extreme sport in the U.S., according to SGMA International, a sporting goods manufacturers association. Dennis Tippmann Jr., 33, who was president of the company when he found out about Summit Partners, says his company was riding that wave. "By 2004, we were growing over 20 percent a year for five years," Tippmann says.
In 2004, the Fort Wayne, Indiana, company's growth became overwhelming, and the Tippmanns knew they needed new management. "That was one big reason [to look for VC]. The other reason was to do a recapitalization," says Tippmann.
Although Summit Partners normally leaves existing management in charge when they make an investment, they agreed to help the Tippmanns search for a CEO. "They were very upfront with us--they said it was a situation where we'd need to bring new management in," says Trustey. "That's representative of them being great entrepreneurs."
Within three months, Summit Partners had written a check. Some of the capital purchased shares from the Tippmann family, while the rest went into the business to fund further growth. The company was renamed Tippmann Sports in July 2004, and Dennis Tippmann Jr. happily stepped out of the role of president to head up product development, an area that he loves.
With the help of Summit's extensive contacts, Tippmann Sports hired a new CEO, allowing the whole family more time to enjoy their success. "I think it was a win for both sides," says Tippmann.
Trustey agrees: "We are always looking for market leadership, companies growing faster than their underlying sectors, and opportunities for liquidity with exceptional returns. Tippmann Sports continues to exemplify that."

Slow Love, Fast Wheels
Lovely photograph in the Times today of our friend and comrade Dominique Browning, who dropped in at Casa Veronica* over the holidays, bestowing the galleys of her upcoming memoir Slow Love and a batch of homemade cookies, most of which disappeared under my supervision. Dominique was the editor of House & Garden before it was atomized out from under her, but she and I go way back to the tempests of Esquire and Texas Monthly, back in those halcyon days when nothing said box-office gold like the combination of Burt Reynolds, fast cars on back roads, and sopping humidity. That latter part of that sentence has nothing to do with the first, but White Lightning was on TCM last night, and it struck me as remarkably pungent, liberatingly open-spaced (nothing forced into the camera frame, lots of loose life-going-on lollygagging in the background and periphery), ribboning in its action sequences (as if a gift bow was being made with all those figure eights), and individually acted and characterized in lieu of the usual Southern stereotypes being glopped out cafeteria-style. It makes you feel that its moonshiners etc turn to crime not so much for the money (though that too) but for the lack of anything better to do, the shortage of options buried under that thick moist carpet of summer heat that turns a Southern prison farm into an annex of Hell.
Watching White Lightning, I thought, I bet Kim Morgan digs this film, and sure enough...
Laura is reading Dominique's memoir, ready to lateral it off to me when she's done, but L. hasn't mentioned anything about Dominique being driven to moonshine running after the demise of House & Garden and having to bust out of the county jail, so it appears that my interest in Slow Love and the early oeuvre of Burt Reynolds will continue to operate along separate tracks, converging at no junction that I can foresee.
*Casa Veronica, the unofficial title of our pre-war "classic six," is named in honor of our youngest ocicat, Veronica, not Veronika Part, for whom I'm building a mansion in the clouds.

It was another qualifying without any great rewards for Lotus while Jules Bianchi made it through to Q2 at the Hungaroring...
Lotus F1:
Romain Grosjean: "We had a good third free practice session this morning and thought that we could reach Q3 this afternoon, but it wasn't to be. The car didn't feel as good in qualifying as it had done earlier in the day which we have to understand. If we can get the car feeling as it did in the morning, there will be more potential from tomorrow's race. We have learnt a lot this weekend even if we haven't been able to translate that into a good qualifying position. For tomorrow we'll do the best we can, especially as there could be rain which might assist us to get into the points."
Pastor Maldonado: "Everything on the car was working well until the second from last corner. Obviously it's very disappointing, especially as we thought that we could reach Q3 today. We were in a good position to attack and be in the top ten today so it's frustrating. Tomorrow will be a tough challenge, but as always we will work hard to solve today's issue and look to maximize the potential in the race. We have plenty of new tyres at our disposal and anything can happen here at the Hungaroring, we will keep pushing."
Jules Bianchi: "I'm really, really happy to be starting the race from 16th position, after making it to Q2 once more, and in the dry, without any tricky conditions. We did not have the best start to the weekend but we have made up for that today. My first run was not so good, as I made a mistake, but on the second run we had a perfect qualifying. So we are in Q2 for the second time this year and that is great for me and the Team. Tomorrow will not be an easy race but I hope it can be a good one."
Max Chilton: "Obviously I'm pretty disappointed with today's result. It's been a bit of a struggle so far this weekend, but we had managed to improve the car for qualifying, so it's a real shame that we weren't able to see what we could do with those improvements. The first run was good but on the second run I had an electrical problem which meant I had no power and so I wasn't able to do my quick lap. I think based on how the car was feeling on the first run, we could have had Kobayashi today and been much closer to Jules. It's always a tough race here and difficult to overtake, so tomorrow won't be easy, but we'll give it our best shot."
Kamui Kobayashi: "FP3 started with similar conditions to yesterday. We'd made quite a few changes overnight but the car still felt a little snappy, particularly at the rear, but throughout the session we improved the balance, both with setup and as the grip levels evolved. There was still a bit too much switching between understeer and oversteer but when we went onto the options it was better so we went into quali feeling quite positive. In Q1 we went for two runs on the options and my quickest lap on the first put us into 16th and with the problems for the Mercedes and the Lotus it looked like we had a chance to fight for Q2. We waited until the last possible moment to go out again at the end of the session and my first lap was good, but on the second flying lap the tyres were gone and I couldn't get any more out of them. The car has improved quite a bit over the weekend but I still don't think I could have got any more out of it today."
Marcus Ericsson: "For me the car was better in FP3 than it was yesterday, altogether more stable, but the balance was still inconsistent, going from a bit of understeer to oversteer in different corners. We tried a couple of changes to try and sort that out and although we did make a small improvement it was still not where I wanted it at the end of FP3. Unfortunately it was the same in qualifying. I just couldn't find the laptime as the car's balance kept changing in nearly every corner and I couldn't push anywhere. It's pretty frustrating as we know there's a lot more time in there, but with the way it was handling there wasn't any more I could do. However, on the long runs yesterday it was much better on high fuel and, as we've seen today, quite a few teams are having issues here, so we need to make sure we keep up the same strong reliability tomorrow that we've had all weekend and be there if any opportunities come our way in the race."

Dick's Sporting Goods 11" Practice Softballs - 6 Pack 18 18
GOOD VALUE GOOD SERVICE, good selection, fair pricing and convenient September 9, 2014
Stitching is Horrible Even though these balls are the more inexpensive balls, they are not THAT inexpensive. The stitching on these balls is horrible. They are not stitched tight enough to even be used for batting practice. I suggest avoiding these balls. September 9, 2014
BAD Took them back. All the leather in the ball buckled. September 7, 2014
Dick's Sporting Goods 11" my 7 year old daughter disfigured the ball with one swing. September 3, 2014
Lopsided After a few fits they become lopsided! Do not hold their form. September 2, 2014
poor quality One round of batting with these balls and they were no longer round. Would not recommended when batting August 21, 2014
Flattened Use these balls with a 7yr old beginning softball player. We use them for soft toss, out of the 6 balls, 4 of them are no longer round. Only use these for throwing, after a couple decent hits, flat. July 15, 2014
Softballs They're yellow. They're round. You can throw them. I like them even though at almost $25 for six of them, they are overpriced. June 17, 2014
Poor quality In less than a week the balls lost their shape and were no good for batting or pitching June 11, 2014
Good Practice balls If you want something good for practice, these are great....Not very good for games though April 1, 2014

As we dig out from 2 feet of snow left in Blizzard Nemo's wake, many people are dreaming of vacations somewhere warm and sunny. But for many wealthy individuals and giant corporations, their bank accounts are on a permanent holiday — and it's costing the rest of us billions.
A new study from MassPIRG reveals Massachusetts lost $1.6 billion last year as a result of offshore tax dodging. So while lawmakers on Beacon Hill struggle to find new revenue and to plug budget holes, corporations like Wells Fargo, Exxon Mobil, and Intel are using offshore tax havens to avoid paying their fair share like the rest of us do.
So what would $1.6 billion in revenue mean for Massachusetts? To put it in perspective, Governor Deval Patrick recently released a budget that makes long-overdue investments in education, transportation and community services. The total amount needed for these vital investments? $1.9 billion.
And Massachusetts isn't the only state to lose out on revenue as a result of corporate offshore tax havens. According to the report, states lost a combined $39.8 billion in 2011 — enough to cover a full year of public education for more than 3.7 million children.
It's time to take a stand and call out corporate tax dodgers. Sign up to take action here.

Hey everyone, today I'll be looking at a new browser called the SRWare Iron browser as recommended to me by User. I will link you up in the description to its exact website where you can find download link to download the Iron browser.
I'm clicking it on right now and it says this is the installer for XP and Vista. I'm going to download that as oppose to the portable version. And hit open. And it's an 8.5 meg download. So let's wait for it to finish. And I will close Safari in the background. I'll just wait for this to finish by itself.
This is my first attempt at installing and using this browser so I'll do a little review session on this in HD. So I'm loading, and it should come out with a run dialogue. Here it is. Hit run. This is Safari. USC comes up although that was invisible to cams studio. You can select your language. I'll just show you guys these are the languages that is available in. I will going to choose English. Next. This is going to install it on my computer. So I'm going to agree to that. Accept the agreement. Next. Program files. That's exactly where it will install it. I'm going to hit next again. And last but not least, it will add a shortcut to the start menu folders. So I'll hit next. I will leave the desktop icon but uncheck the quick launch icon just because I'm happy with what I have on my quick launch right now.
Next, and this is what it's going to install. I'm good with that. So here you can see its extracting files. This is the typical installation process and it is done. So I'm going to finish and it launches the browser instantly and now I'm going to just mess around with it.
So first of all it's looking a lot like Google Chrome right now. There's a little mess up with the arrow up there. But it looks a lot like Google Chrome. And my first impressions are, it looks nice. It has that super bar as oppose to a start URL bar and a search bar. So if I want to search friend. It will automatically Google friend. Let's see, I'm going to try Acid3 test. I remember doing a video and showing you guys the Safari 4 web kit browser that I showed you. That passed with 100 out of 100 on the Acid3 test. And there we go, it does have a 100/100 but it does say linktest failed. And it's supposed to look like this.
So interesting little glitch, linktest failed. YouTube.com. it is pretty speedy, although there is a built in delay again when I press it and when I press enter in the URL bar and when it actually begins to buffer. There's a small difference. So wikepedia.com, enter. Three, and then it starts downloading.
So it is a pretty speedy browser actually. I do like it. I have to look around, see what kind of add ons I can actually get for it. There we go. Now arrow is working for a minute, but then. There we go. Arrow actually does work. It's transparent just like Google Chrome. It's really reminding me of Google Chrome. So I'm guessing it's just a spin off the web kit in Google Chrome. Let's see if they can remember pass word. Yup, it says you want Iron to save your password? And I will say yes. So I guess there's a little thing there, Iron and Chrome. They go hand in hand. Yeah, it does seem to work. I already have Google Gears installed.
Those are a few first impressions of Iron and there's the logo and you can obviously unlock your object or your rock dock and just drag it right in. so this is something cool I learned today. So if you like this browser, just click the link on the description and you can obviously download this browser and test it out for yourself. See if you like it over Google Chrome or if you like it at all.
And here we sign in YouTube and I'm going to see if I can find for you the person who actually suggested it. It was a comment on one of my videos by mmmbuttterchicken. So they suggested that I actually try the web browser. It buffers the page quite well. It has the same lay out as I would open it in Firefox or Safari. And he says, Safari's not the fastest, try SRWare Iron. It is made from the source from a Google Chrome, which I can tell quite easily by this lay out and everything. And it is faster than Safari with the webkit which I have yet to see. It also gets a 100/100 on the Acid3 test. And in my opinion it looks better to. I have to agree, I checked it out and I'm doing a video review right now and I'm liking it. I tried Google Chrome before and it works pretty good speed. I mean Google Chrome obviously one of the fastest web browsers out there. And I'll pull up now, see how much resources this is using. So if we go to processes, we can see Firefox preloader in the background is using about 102 megabytes. And I'm going to look all the way down to Iron and it's using only 15 megs, so I'm actually very impress by its resource management plus a very good feature.
What else can I say, it's not using any CPU. If I were to open YouTube.com. We see it spike a little like 10, 3, 2, then 0. And it's using 16 megs, so it's very, very good. If I were to stream a video over here. I could probably get it up to 20 megabytes but that's very, very good resource management from this browser.
If I were to compare it as the user I showed you did to Safari and I open task manager and say I were to go to YouTube.com. We already see Safari climbing to the top at 40 megabytes. So I suppose if you don't have a lot of RAM, I have 4 gig of RAM. If you do not have a lot of RAM, it will be a good idea to use a less resource intensive browser such as Iron.
So I guess I would recommend this at people who are just trying out new browsers. I've already tried out Aqua10 Alpha, Chameleon, Safari webkit browser, the Safari browser, and now SRWare Iron browser which works in convention with Google Chrome.
So if you guys like this video then go ahead and subscribe and I do a lot of videos and you can send me a personal message with a request should you want to get a video done just like that. So thanks for watching and subscribe. Peace.

Visa: Contactless Transactions in UK to Grow Fourfold This Year; Though Base Remains Small
Visa Europe predicts the UK will have 34 million contactless Visa-branded cards on issue and 175,000 contactless terminals deployed by the end of 2013, with Europe reaching 70 million Visa-branded contactless cards and 650,000 contactless terminals this year.
It's unclear whether all the terminals in Europe would be active this year; some might be equipped with readers, ready for activation later.
Visa made the predictions Wednesday as part of an announcement with Streamline, the UK's biggest merchant acquirer, confirming a larger rollout of contactless acceptance by major UK merchant Boots at its retail pharmacy locations. It follows announcements by some other major merchants accepting contactless in the UK.
"2012 was a tipping point for UK contactless transactions, which increased over the course of the year to more than 2.5 million a month," Mark Austin, Visa Europe's head of contactless, said in a statement. "We're predicting that transactions will grow fourfold over the course of 2013, thanks to the rollout in retailers like Boots UK, Marks and Spencer and McDonald's, as well as all of London's buses."
Such major UK merchants as supermarket chain Tesco, however, continue to hold back in rolling out contactless. But an expansion by Boots would add momentum to the UK contactless rollout, which is Europe's largest, though takeup is larger in Poland. And in a first project of its kind, Transport for London in December began accepting contactless credit and debit cards for payment of fares on 8,500 buses serving London.
It was unclear how much Boots plans to expand its contactless rollout in its UK stores. Visa and Steamline noted that Wednesday's announcement follows an "initial launch," in which 600 of the largest Boots stores in London have begun to accept contactless payments. Boots has more than 2,000 stores in the UK. All Boots stores in Ireland accept contactless, said Visa. Boots has more than 70 stores there.
In an announcement earlier this month, Visa said there were, at present, nearly 30 million contactless cards in circulation in the UK and more than 150,000 contactless terminals. The 30-million-card figure probably refers to contactless bank cards of all brands, though Visa payWave has the largest share of the UK market for cards.
Visa in the earlier release said that The Royal Bank of Scotland and its sister bank, NatWest, would roll out more than 2 million contactless cards supporting Visa payWave over the next 12 months.
Earlier this month, there were 50 million contactless bank cards and 590,000 contactless POS terminals in Europe, according to Visa. Nearly all contactless terminals that accept Visa payWave, also accept rival MasterCard PayPass. But MasterCard said in December that there were about 225,000 PayPass-enabled terminals in Europe, which indicates the much larger figure cited by Visa includes nonactivated contactless terminals.
When activated, the contactless terminals could accept payWave, PayPass and other open-loop contactless applications on NFC phones, as well as those applications on cards.
In a related prediction, Visa said that by 2020, 50% of all transactions on the Visa network would be made by a mobile device. The transactions would include online purchases.

Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
Greetings fellow Oak Lawnians! In this tough economy, I think you'll agree that we can all use a little extra cash.
And if you happen to love music and have a talent for playing a musical instrument, you could win a music scholarship through the annual contest sponsored by Musichorale, a nonprofit organization at Oak Lawn Community Church, 9000 Ridgeland Ave.
The choir awards four scholarships annually to young musicians attending either elementary or high school. A total of $2,000 is given to two students in both elementary and high school.
First-place winners receive a $750 scholarship to be applied to their musical studies, and second-place winners get a $250 scholarship. First-prize winners also will perform at Musichorale's Spring Concert on April 10 as well as at its 2011 Christmas concert.
Musichorale director Jeffrey Silhan said the application deadline was extended to Feb. 15 to allow for more contestants to apply. He said at least 10 contestants are needed, and that number had not been met as of this past week.
The instrument competition is open to all music students and is scheduled for February 26 at 10 a.m. for elementary students and 2 p.m. for high school students at the church. Contestants are notified that same day if they are scholarship winners.
Musichorale's 2010 instrumental scholarship winner was 12-year-old violinist Serena Harnack, who's also a scholarship recipient at the Academy of Music Institute of Chicago where she studies with faculty member Almita Vamos, her mother, Mandy Harnack, said.
Serena learned about the Musichorale contest from her former teacher at the Community School of the Arts at Wheaton College.
For contest details and information, visit Musichorale's Web site at www.musichorale.org or call Sarah Koehler, scholarship chair, at (773) 239-6279.

"Loved it! Deceptively easy to make and so delicious. I didn't have fresh tarragon so I used some dry herbs. I also didn't have Gouda, but used a farm cheddar and it was just as good. Delicious with or without the cream cheese and chive drizzle. Will definitely make again and will play around with the ingredients. I'm thinking some fresh spin"

The Eurocopter EC120 B Colibri is a 5-seat light utility helicopter
powered by a single Turbomeca Arrius 2F turbine engine. The EC 120 B
Colibri, also known as Hummingbird, was developed with simplicity of
design and low costs of maintenance in mind. It makes extensive use of
composite materials and modern avionics. The new generation of fenestron
tail rotor takes part in the decrease in external noise level, which
makes the EC120 B ideal for missions near settled areas. The project
started in 1990 when Aerospatiale of France, CATIC of China and
Singapore Aerospace agreed in forming a partnership to develop a new
light helicopter, then designated P‑120L. Definition phase of the
original P120L was subsequently redesigned with 500 kg lower gross
weight and new engine and rotor. The helicopter divisions of
Aerospatiale from France and MBB from Germany merged in January 1992 to
form the Eurocopter Group. In October 1992, development of the new
helicopter started and in January 1993, Eurocopter designation EC 120
was given to the helicopter. Mid-1993, the design definition was
completed and assembly of first of two prototypes began at Eurocopter
France at Marignane in early 1995. Eurocopter EC120 prototype F-WWPA
c/n 1 flew first on 9 June 1995. The second prototype (F-WWPD c/n 2) was
flown 17 July 1996. Certification to JAR 27 was achieved on 16 June
1997. Production of the EC 120 began on a small scale in 1997 at
Eurocopter France's Marignane facility, with the first production
Colibri (F-WWPL
c/n 1005) flying on 5 December 1997.
The airframes are made in China and the final assembly line of the EC120 is at the Eurocopter Marignane factory in France.
Next to the final assembly of the EC120 in France, a number of helicopters were assembled in Australia and Brazil. In 2006, Regourd Aviation in France
obtained EASA certification for the modified EC120 "Voyager", an EC120 with auto-pilot,
glass cockpit & integrated avionics. Until 2013, more than 700 EC120 B helicopters
have been delivered to 55 countries.
On 14 June 2011, Eurocopter EC120 B c/n 1207 was registered ZS-RZZ in
South Africa with R.J.Thomson Family Investments. On 15 March 2006,
reservartion was made in the USA for registration N639LH, but the helicopter remained
registered as ZS-RZZ in South Africa. Finally on 25 March 2011, this reservation for registration N639LH was cancelled.
Despite the reservation as N369LH, on 20 September 2006, Eurocopter
EC120 B ZS-RZZ was transferred and registered with Idada Trading 171.
When registered with Idada Trading 171, the helicopter was seen operated
as Vodacom Netcare 911 Surf Rescue. In March 2009, Eurocopter EC120 B
Colibri ZS-RZZ was fresh painted and registered with Mistico Trading 62
(PTY) Ltd., Bryanston, South Africa. Colibri ZS-RZZ was operated in Mozambique (ferrying tourists between Vilanculous
and the islands) until November, 2012.

5 Completely Off-The-Wall Papers
A look at five innovative and cool wall coverings
By Elle Decor Staff
Paint-Splattered Walls
Dutch artist Edwin Deen's Liquid Rainbow takes on white walls with seemingly simple supplies: a garden sprinkler, a few yards of hose, and seven water-based paint colors. Within seconds, this electrified sprinkler-turned-art installation coats walls in a striking combination of hues. While Deen's Rainbow hasn't yet been adopted for household use, visitors to Amsterdam art galleries – most recently, Barry gallery – can see it in action.
