"day1: take bernina and stay at chur or st moritz.... day2: go to rhine fall"
You might want to spend a day (or two or more) in/near Chur or St Moritz (or nearby).
"day 5 :wengen or grindelwald or wilderwill"
"day 8 ... stay in murren"
Depending on your interests, it might not make sense to relocate to Murren if you will be in Wengen or Grindelwald or anywhere else in the Bernese Oberland beforehand.
Its a beautiful country -- enjoy!

Hi komal,
This is a good plan, but it seems a little rushed to me. I wouldn't just stay in Chur/St. Moritz area for just one night, and I wouldn't switch bases from Wengen to Mürren. Remember that every time you switch bases, you lose about half a day of "outside" time due to the chores of packing up and checking out, then checking in and unpacking again. It might take even longer with a 3-year-old!
Anyway, I would recommend you consider staying in Sils rather than Chur or St. Moritz, as it's a car-free town, and that's one thing you want to do. Neither Grindelwald nor Wilderswil is car-free, so I would stick with either Wengen or Mürren.
Have fun as you plan!

Trains become very boring for 3 year olds. Rheinfalls isn't worth it. Skip it.
St. Moritz isn't worth doing quickly either. Too much train time and not enough downtime.

Thanks for all the replies.i really appreciates all the advises.
now i have come up with new itenary..
day1 stay at chur.
day2 appenzall and stay in luzern.
day3 and day4 in luzern.
day5,6,7,8,9 in murren.
day10 montreux.

You do realise if you sleep in Murren you must take a gondola (or train and gondola) to leave town.
Either train to Grutscalp and gondola down to Lauterbrunnen or gondola to Gimmelwald station then change cars to Stechelberg gondola--then post bus or walk to Lauterbrunnen.

I wouuld not do Bern and lake Brienz in a day either, Berne deserves a day to itself. Take your son to see the bears down by the river and take to Gurten Bern's local 'mountain' funicular ride up and down and lovely childrens' playground at the top, and wonderful views over the city. To get to Gurten take the no.9 bus from the bus station outside the rail station to the stop "Gurtenbahn"

I will surely give one day to bern.and will stick to 1 night in chur,3 nights in luzern,5 nights in car free beautifull murren and 1 night in montreux as we have a flght back to usa from geneva next morning 11 am.Thanks for all the smart suggestion really do appreciate them.

Kelly Maier joins upstart electronic debt market TruMid
NEW YORK (Reuters) – TruMid Financial said on Wednesday that credit specialist Kelly Maier is joining the new electronic corporate bond trading platform that is due to go live later this month.
Maier was recently a Partner at Achievement Asset Management, a multibillion-dollar credit hedge fund spun off last September from Chicago-based trading firm Peak6 Investments. Prior to that, he ran U.S. high-yield trading for Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and was a high-yield trader at Citigroup Inc (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
NYSE Arca exchange glitch hampers trading in popular ETFs
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Intercontinental Exchange Inc's (ICE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) NYSE Arca had a technical glitch on Tuesday that resulted in some of the most popular exchange-traded funds being temporarily unavailable for trading and some investors paying more for stocks than they otherwise may have.
ETFs have exploded in popularity over the past decade, making up 25-30 percent of all trading on U.S. exchanges in recent years, according to a recent Credit Suisse report. The investment vehicles offer exposure to wide ranges of securities, similar to mutual funds, but generally have lower fees and can be traded anytime the market is open, like single stocks.
Citadel Securities to close Apogee 'dark pool': sources
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Citadel Securities, a top market maker in U.S. stocks and listed options, plans to shutter its Apogee "dark pool" to focus on another of its off-exchange stock trading venues called Citadel Connect, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Apogee ranked 18th out of 37 U.S. dark pools – which like exchanges, match buyers and sellers of stocks, but without disclosing pre-trade information so that trading interests remain hidden – by volume in the latest statistics from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
U.S. SEC proposes more oversight for high-speed traders
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK March 25 (Reuters) – High-speed stock
trading firms that execute transactions away from exchanges
would be subject to greater regulatory oversight under a
proposal unveiled on Wednesday by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The plan, which the regulator is issuing for public comment,
would require as many as 125 SEC-registered broker dealers, many
of which are high-speed trading firms, to register as members of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Wall
Street's self-funded regulator.
BATS aims to be No. 1 in U.S. ETF listings within 3-5 years
NEW YORK (Reuters) – BATS Global Markets plans to aggressively expand its listings business for exchange-traded funds, with the goal of being the No. 1 ETF listing venue within three to five years, the head of the exchange operator's U.S. markets said on Friday.
The company made its first foray into ETF listings in January 2012 with a handful of BlackRock Inc's iShares ETFs. It is now home to 31 ETFs, with ProShares, ValueShares, and KraneShares also listing products on BATS.
Nasdaq to challenge ICE and CME with new energy futures market
BOCA RATON, Florida (Reuters) – Nasdaq OMX Group said on Wednesday it is expanding into energy derivatives with energy futures and options set to trade on the Nasdaq Futures Exchange at less than half the prices charged by incumbents CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange.
The energy futures and options products, collectively called Nasdaq Energy Futures, will be based on oil, natural gas, and U.S. power benchmarks, and are expected to begin trading by mid-year.
Nasdaq market share drops in fee and rebate cutting experiment
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Friday its experiment in lowering exchange fees and rebates in 14 stocks has so far led to lower market share in those names on its exchange as many electronic market making firms sought higher rebates elsewhere.
The experiment, which began on Feb. 2 and will run for at least four months, includes 14 stocks that had their associated fees lowered on Nasdaq's exchange to 5 cents per 100 shares from 30 cents per 100 shares, and their rebates cut to 4 cents per 100 shares from 29 cents per 100 shares.
Exclusive: BATS Global Markets names Concannon CEO as of March 31
NEW YORK (Reuters) – BATS Global Markets is appointing Chris Concannon, who recently joined it from electronic trading firm Virtu Financial LLC, to succeed Joseph Ratterman as chief executive officer of the exchange operator, Ratterman said in an interview on Tuesday.
Concannon, 47, who until December was chief operating officer of Virtu, said BATS was mulling expansion moves including opening a second U.S. options exchange. He will take over as CEO from Ratterman, 48, on March 31.
ICE profit tops forecasts, CEO touts NYSE's potential
NEW YORK, Feb 5 (Reuters) – Intercontinental Exchange Inc
on Thursday reported higher-than-expected quarterly
earnings as the exchange and clearing house operator further
integrated its $11 billion purchase of NYSE Euronext from the
year-earlier quarter.
ICE said it earned $288 million in the fourth quarter, or
$2.54 a share, compared with a loss of $176 million a share, or
$1.83 a year earlier following the purchase of the New York
Stock Exchange owner.
Credit Suisse exits U.S. retail market making business
NEW YORK, Feb 3 (Reuters) – Credit Suisse Group is
getting out of the U.S. equity retail market making business by
the end of the first quarter after failing to gain enough scale
to make a go of it, the bank confirmed on Tuesday.
The decision was part of Credit Suisse's ongoing review of
its investment banking business and does not affect the rest of
its retail execution services operations, the Swiss bank said in
a statement. Credit Suisse also runs Crossfinder, the largest
non-exchange U.S. stock trading platform, or "dark pool."

LOL to the pic.

It's an embarrassment. The sign, I mean.
um, just a few flaws in the NYT exclusive on Barclays Center transportation

mike d's house is pretty awesome.
Mike D only needed to spend 500K on renovations because it looked like this when he bought it.
I'm not sure that's the same house. Similar, but not the same one.
Both beautiful! And that fireplace – to die for.
The scary thing is I think it is the same house.
I guess NY Daily News isn't above publishing press releases as news articles (re. Jennifer Lopez store.) This is not a vibrant corner…isn't this Flagship store next to a pawn shop and a vacant storefront that most recently contained a Halloween store?

What Karl Rove Says About Me
It was brought to my attention that Karl Rove offered some criticism of me on this site.: : What he said was rather harmless — though inaccurate.: If you'll forgive the shameless plug, the real story is in my book, SPEECH*LESS:: Tales of a White House Survivor.: : I also offered some comments here:
The only thing that I really want to clear up is that I never, ever worked at the State Department, as: Karl says, but at the Department of Defense.: Quite a difference.
Although Rove thinks my criticisms of him are personal, they aren't.: I think he has lots to offer the GOP — as a commentator.: I: just happen to think his efforts — on spending, new entitlement programs, campaign finance reform, the McCain: campaign, illegal immigration and unseating the conservative government of Texas last month — have left the Republican Party, and more important the conservative movement in an unrecgonizable mess.: A mess from which we are still trying to: recover.

I recently booked a family cruise through Cumbria Cruise.
Their website was informative, the staff member whom I spoke with (James) was a great fountain of cruise knowledge and certainly put my mind at ease when helping me find the right cruise and the right ship for my family.
No wonder so many people return to this company to book their cruise - I know I will.

"Novel With a Twist"
I really enjoyed this book so chances are good I'll listen to it again at some point. It makes me want to listen to Stealing Katherine, the second book in this series.
Several things appealed to me. The setting was very fresh and nightmarishly vivid, and there were paranormal elements which gave this book a unique spin. The narrator did a terrific job portraying the characters, who were both endearing and exasperating at times. Both romance and humor interspersed with the darker subplots in this book was refreshing.
She did a great job with all the different voices and the narration.
Not really. It took me a few days to listen to it. But it wasn't boring. I was invested throughout
I'm glad I downloaded this book. It's worth a credit.

Focus forward, not back for Stanhope business
Stanhope's Ken Harrison is feeling optimistic about the future of his business, Shaque-A-Taque, after fire destroyed it last year.ALEXANDRA BOLKAS July 1, 2014 5:12am
Gone: A firefighter hosing down the ashes following the fire that destroyed the Shaque-A-Taque store at Stanhope on December 16 last year.
Stanhope's Ken Harrison is feeling optimistic about the future of his business, Shaque-A-Taque, after fire destroyed it last year.
The business operating out of the historic Bonlac IAMA building was the brainchild of the former Melbourne man who moved the area eight years earlier.
It sold unique hand-made crafts and was home to a series of mini villages and saddlery fellow Stanhope resident Belinda Sharples operated.
Fire tore through the 86-year-old Bonlac IAMA building on Birdwood Ave about 12.15
It took 30 firefighters three hours to contain the blaze.
After six months of planning, construction has started on the revamped building complex to be named the Stanhope Mews.
Mr Harrison said he expected work to be completed next month.
Read today's News to find out about how the recovery process is going.

SAO PAULO - Police say a cow fell through the roof of a small house in southeastern Brazil killing a man and narrowly missing his wife.
A police officer in the town of Caratinga says Joao Maria de Souza and his wife were sleeping when the one-ton cow fell through the asbestos roof and on top of the victim. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
The officer said Souza died of internal bleeding at a nearby hospital. The incident occurred on Wednesday.
He said the cow apparently was grazing on a small hill above Souza's home.

China's grinning 'Brother Watch' sentenced to hard time
|Report an Error
Share via Email
BEIJING, CHINA—A Chinese provincial official whose grinning at the scene of a deadly bus crash sparked an outcry and, eventually, led to corruption charges was sentenced Thursday to 14 years in prison.
Yang Dacai was head of the Shanxi province work safety administration when photographs of him smiling at the crash scene circulated online in August 2012. Outraged citizens condemned his apparent callousness and, noting the luxury wristwatch he wore in the picture, dug up more photos of him wearing pricey timepieces.
They nicknamed him "Brother Watch" and demanded to know how he could afford the items on a public servant's modest salary. Communist Party officials later opened an investigation and stripped him of his official duties for "serious wrongdoing."
Yang pleaded guilty last month to charges of taking 250,000 yuan (US$40,000) in bribes and having bank deposits of 5.04 million yuan ($820,000) from dubious sources. He was sentenced by the Intermediate People's Court in the Shanxi capital of Xi'an, according to a court official speaking on routine condition of anonymity.
Prior to his trial, Yang had defended himself on an online forum, saying his smile was an attempt to cheer up anxious rescuers on the scene of the Aug. 26, 2012 accident, in which 36 people were killed. He also claimed to have used his legal income to purchase the watches.
Yang, who had also served on the provincial anti-corruption body, became yet another embodiment of the graft seen as rife among Chinese officialdom — and which is increasingly being exposed and condemned on China's microblogging services.
New President Xi Jinping has tried to assuage public anger by encouraging frugality among officials and by tightening controls over the bureaucracy and long-cosseted state owned companies.
However, China's ruling Communist Party is extremely wary of private citizens probing corruption, preferring to do the policing on its own terms. In recent months, scores of social media users have been detained after publicizing graft allegations or calling for officials to publicly declare their assets, amid a campaign by authorities to clamp down on 'online rumours.'
Lu Liangbiao, a Beijing-based lawyer, said that under the current climate it would be more difficult to spark an investigation such as the one into Yang.
"If authorities had started their campaign to stamp out rumours online much earlier, then 'Brother Watch' would never have been sent to prison no matter how widely he smiled," Lu posted on his verified account on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo.

Much Ado About Angelina Jolie
in Family
It's not entirely clear why, but Angelina Jolie's choice to have a mastectomy has generated a lot of very intense reactions. Some in support of her choices, and some not so much.
No matter what side of the issue you stand on, the one thing that's clear is this decision has caused a lot of people both male and female to examine concepts about fear, choice, and free will. It's profoundly individual and deeply personal.
Join us today for a talk about what everyone is talking about this week.

Under the Lens of the Angelina Jolie Effect with Dr. Horner
in Family
This past week, Heaven gained an angel as yet another family said an untimely good-bye after a two-year battle with BRCA 2 positive, triple negative breast cancer, metastasized to the lungs. At just 40 years old, she leaves behind a dedicated husband and four kids who loved her through it.
Hearing those kinds of devastating outcomes is what motivated Christine Horner, MD to change career paths. In the early 1990s, she became alarmed over the increasing number of very young women she saw in her practice diagnosed with breast cancer.
When her own mother was diagnosed and then died from breast cancer, Dr. Horner began an intensive search of the medical literature to find what -- if anything -- could help prevent breast cancer. What she found was a tremendous amount of little-known research proving that woman can significantly reduce their risk of breast cancer and of most other chronic diseases.
In June 2002, Dr. Horner left her plastic surgery practice so that she could dedicate herself full time to writing and teaching about her passion: prevention-oriented medicine and how to become and stay healthy naturally.
Join us this Monday, May 27th, at 7PM EDT for an in-depth look at the current trend in cancer treatment, along with a candid discussion about Angelina Jolie's hailed decision and what it means for other women who carry the BRCA gene or have a family history of cancer. Dr. Horner brings other, often unrecognized, important factors to the table. We'll plug her extensive knowledge and peruse the pages of her award winning book, Waking The Warrior Goddess.

Ty Pruitt , Angelina Jolie's young life & new movie, Hollywood connections
There is already one dead person attributed beyond Michael Brown's grave in reparations for his death. Mr. Joshua said his son DeAndre Joshua should not have died in lieu of Michael Brown because he never testified to a grand jury. Then why was there so much talk about his testimony. A special guest may appear today on this show about it. Audio will be reviewed on the perspective of Ty Pruitt's thought processes regarding his cousin's death, rioting & looting and Michael Brown's step father. Jon Yoder will share Angelina's stunning choice to direct "UnBroken" (co written by the Coen brothers) about a converted Christian who survived 47 days at sea, Japanese torture during WWII, and was a long distance Olympic runner. Jane will share a few moments of Angelina Jolie's momentuous life with first hand Hollywood accounts by friends who knew her. A remarkable lady who often shields her true self. Overall, its a casual conversation but both Jane and Jon agree that Ms. Jolie's choice to direct a movie was a very credible subject.

Michael Bolotin (born February 26, 1953), known professionally as Michael Bolton, is an American singer and songwriter. Bolton originally performed in the hard rock and heavy metal genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, both on his early solo albums and those he recorded as the frontman of the band Blackjack. He became better known for his series of pop rock ballads, recorded after a stylistic change in the late 1980s.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
April 1970 J. v. FONTAINE 7 3,508,239
BURGLAR ALARM Filed March 15, 1967 v UU- INVENTOR JOHN V. FONTAINE ATTORNEY United States Patent US. Cl. 340258 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electronic alarm and warning device including a transistor oscillator connected to a current source, a tuned coil in circuit with the transistor oscillator and tuned in accordance with the frequency of the oscillator to develop a predetermined voltage, a door knob sensor connected to the tuned coil, a silicon controlled switch connected to the tuned coil so that the predetermined voltage is insufficient to fire the switch but a change in voltage produced when a person touches or closely approaches the door knob sensor is suflicient to fire the silicon controlled switch, and an alarm signal means actuated in response to firing of the silicon controlled switch to provide a signal. The alarm signal means preferably includes a relay energized by conduction of the silicon controlled switch to in turn energize a lamp providing a warning signal. Also included in the alarm signal means is an audible alarm device connected to a second silicon controlled switch which is fired only if another change of voltage at the tuned coil occurs after a predetermined delay set by a timer.
This invention relates to alarms, signals or warnings devices and more particularly to an arrangement by which a visual or an audible signals or both, can be set in operation by the close proximity of the body of a human being to a sensory element forming a part of the circuit for the It is an object of the invention to provide a warning signal or alarm which will be positive in operation; which will not be affected by any fluctuation or power surges in the voltage supply circuit, and which will operate on a sensor that is almost totally grounded.
An important object of this invention is the ability of the device to frighten a high percentage of prowlers away before entry and without disturbing the occupants unless the would-be prowler persists and only then will the alarm sound alerting the occupant to take appropriate action.
A further object of the invention is to provide a capacity reactor that is activated by a pulse only rather than through an increase in voltage or a discharge.
The advantages of a pulse activated unit are:
(A) It can be connected to a partially grounded object and still operate satisfactory.
(B) It is not effected by fluctuations in the supply voltage which usually cause false alarms or render the unit inoperable.
With these and other objetcs to be hereinafter set forth in view, I have devised an arrangement of parts to be described and more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof is shown the schematic wiring diagram of the improved signal device or alarm.
Therein the plug shown at 1 is connected into a conventional power outlet and has its lead wires 2 and 3 extended to a stepdown transformer 4. A switch 5 is incorporated in the lead wire 3. The transformer 4 connects to a silicon rectifier 6 from which a wire 7 extends, with interposed resistor 9, to an oscillator unit generally indicated at 10.
From the oscillator 10 there is extended a wire 11 leading to a discriminator coil shown at 12, and a capacitor being interposed in the lead wire 11 as shown at 13. The discriminator coil 12 is connected to a sensory element or antenna 14. Such elements may be any suitable metallic member such as a door knob, window or door screen, railing around a swimming pool or any other suitable element by means of which a reaction is obtained when a person approaches closely to it or touches it.
Discriminator coil 12 is also connected to diode 18. The positive side of diode 18 is connected to meter 15 and silicon control switches 19 and 25.
19 is a silicon control switch that is connected in series with normally open relay 24 and through the normally closed points 20' of bimetal switch 23.
A silicon control switch 25 is connected in series with bell 17 and through normally open points 16 of bimetal switch 22.
Normally open points 20 of relay 24 are connected to light 21, and normally open points 26 of relay 24 are connected to heaters of delay relays 22 and 23.
The alarm works in the following manner.
The sensor element 14 is approached by a human. The frequency of discriminator coil 12 is changed causing a rapid change in voltage amounting to a pulse which is the only type of change that will activate the unit.
Upon the silicon control switch 19 receiving a pulse the normally open relay 24 closes. One set of its points 20 switches on light 21 and the other set of its points 26 activate two separate delay timers 22 and 23 simultaneously.
Timer 23 has a delay of two minues and has normally closed points 20'. After two minutes the points 20 will open causing realy 24 to deenergize and in turn switch off lights 21.
The second timer 22 has a two second normally open points 16 and after a two second delay points 16 colse completing a circuit which will allow a second pulse, if received, to activate silicon control switch 25 causing alarm 17 to sound.
In other words if 2 pulses are received with any more than a two second interval the alarm 17 will sound. If only one pulse is received only the light 21 will be switched on.
In either event the unit will shut off the light and alarm after a two minute interval and reset.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that by means of the arrangement discolsed there is provided a tuned oscillator and discriminator coil, the latter supplying voltage to silicon controlled switches which control a visual and audio operation of a signal device. The sensor, being connected to the discriminator coil, will change the frequency thereof on the approach or contact of a body with the sensor, and the switch being accordingly activated, will then cause the operation firstly of the visual and secondly of the audio signals.
The described arrangement has numerous advantages over known units, some of such advantages being due to the fact that the system will not be affected by surges and fluctuation of the power supply voltage; it can operate with its sensor or antenna alomst totally grounded; no radiation problems are involved and almost any metallic object of various size and lengths can be employed as the sensory element.
Another important advantage disclosed is a practical alarm system that frightens the burglar away before entry by turning on the lights. While still a further advantage is the ability to do the above without disturbing, in most instances, the occupant, while still sounding an alarm to arouse and warn the occupant if the would-be burglar persists and in either and all cases before the burglar has gained entry.
What I claim is: v
1. An electronic alarm comprising a current source a transistor oscillator connected to said current source, tuned coil means in circuit with said transistor oscillator, said coil means being tuned in accordance with the frequency of said oscillator to develop a predetermined voltage across said tuned coil means, a doorknob sensor connected to said tuned coil means adapted to be touched to produce a steep voltage pulse across said tuned coil means by changing the tuning thereof, a silicon controlled switch selectively responsive to a voltage pulse, said switch having an anode-cathode portion connected to said current source and having a gate connected in circuit with said tuned coil means so that said predetermined voltage is insuflicient to fire said switch but said voltage pulse selectively causes said switch to fire and thus become conductive, said silicon controlled switch being unresponsive to a "gradual voltage change, and alarm signal means actuated in response to firing of said silicon controlled switch to provide a signal upon firing thereof.
2. The electronic alarm as claimed in claim 1 in which said alarm signal means includes a relay having a coil connected in circuit with the anode-cathode portion of said switch, a lamp connected to said current source, and normally open contacts of said relay connected in circuit with said lamp to cause energization of said lamp upon closing of said contacts by energization of said coil upon conduction of said silicon controlled switch, said lamp providing a Warning signal.
3. The electronic alarm as claimed in claim 2 in which said alarm signal means further includes a second silicon controlled switch having an anode-cathode portion connected to said current source and a gate portion connected to said tunedcoil means, an-audible alarm device connected in circuit with said anode-cathode portion of said second switch, and a timer, said relay having contacts connected to said timer to actuate the same upon energization of said relay, and said timer having contacts connected in circuit with said alarm device to delay activation thereof for a predetermined time set by said timer so that only if another voltage change at said tuned coil means occurs after the period of said timer is said second silicon controlled switch fired to actuate said alarm device to sound an audible alarm.
4. The electronic alarm as claimed in claim 3 in which said alarm signal means further includes another timer connected in parallel with said first named timer and actuated therewith but having a longer timing period, said other timer having contacts connected to said relay coil to deenergize the same after a predetermined period of time to stop said warning signal and said audible alarm when in elfect.

Sixers waive Earl Clark, he'll become a free agent
Feb 21, 2014, 2:46 PM EDT
This was expected and it didn't take long.
The Philadelphia 76ers picked up Earl Clark from Cleveland as part of the Spencer Hawes trade. With all the players Philly picked up in a flurry of moves at the deadline they had 16 players on the roster, one more than the league maximum. Someone had to go.
Clark has been waived by the Sixers, the team announced. He will be on waivers for 48 hours and be an unrestricted free agent once he clears them (he will, nobody is going to pick up his contract, which was signed this summer — two years, $8.5 million, the second year not guaranteed).
Clark played a fair amount of minutes for the Cavs because Mike Brown didn't really have other good options before the Luol Deng trade. Clark averaged 5.2 points and 2.8 rebounds a game for Cleveland.

But around Nov 2012 I participated in a contest on one of favorite blogs, was announced as a lucky winner of a contest and won 1 year free hosting on Zyma. Those days I was planning to start a new blog… Read Full Review

All the reviews around here are positive simply because people write em when they START using Zyma. Nobody writes good review after 1-2 years of using Zyma hosting. Zyma is so bad that everyone is trying to forget is as nightmare.

I wrote my previous review about Zyma about 1 year ago and it was wonderful. 1 year later Zyma does everything to take my money and give me nothing. My hosting and domain were due on December 2013. At least that's what was said in my Zyma panel. Suddenly 1 week ago my website is down. "Your hosting is active, but your domain is not paid" - Zyma said to me. I mean it was said CLEARLY stated that both my domain and hosting were paid till December 2013. "That was a mistake" - Zyma said. Ok, i pay… Read Full Review

Signed up for a hosting package last night. Site says setup within 30 min however this morning I had to email asking why it had not been set up. All features are unlimited however they forget to say that Domain-Addons are limited to 3 and you have to purchase additional slots to add more domains. Overall 5/5. Now looking for a new host… Read Full Review

Excellent chat-based service worked perfectly and targeted the answer I needed. I don't think I waited 30 seconds for a response (perhaps another sign of Zyma's reliability. I wish every service call could be so easy and productive… Read Full Review

Zyma has a very nice site maintenance area with a lot of free software, right up to big CMS site managers like Joomla and Wordpress, that install with just a click and a few setup questions. I installed a working forum in just a couple of minutes. The support is what really impresses and is so important to business users such as ourselves. I've opened two tickets, and response time and support representative knowledge were both unbeatable. This, and we're on the most basic hosting… Read Full Review

Every time I call Zyma, they respond immediately and help me solve my hosting issues. It's usually a small thing that I don't understand, rather than a problem with their system, but they are nonetheless patient with me and make sure that I get my questions answered. I also appreciate that they give unsolicited advice, like a recent message with advice about protecting Wordpress sites, and they act as though they really care about my lil' old blog and how it functions. Never a bad experience… Read Full Review
