ABC News' Tahman Bradley Reports:
At just the second official Fed chairman news conference in history, Ben Bernanke said that the Fed believes that U.S. economic growth will pick up going into 2012 but at a somewhat slower pace than originally thought.
"One way to think about it is that maybe some of the headwinds that have been concerning us, like, you know, weakness in the financial sector, problems in the housing sector, balance sheets and deleveraging issues, some of these headwinds may be stronger or more persistent than we thought," he said.
Even though recovery is slower than everyone wants, Bernanke did not announce any new Fed plans to boost the economy.
Bernanke said it's "very frustrating" that the U.S. is still some years away from full employment. "At some point, if growth picks up as we anticipate, job numbers will start getting better. We're still some years away from full employment in the sense of 5 1/2 percent, say. And that's of course very frustrating because it means that many people will be out of work for a very extended time," he said.
The factors contributing to the slow economic recovery are likely temporary and the Fed expects the pace of economic recovery to pick up over coming quarters, Bernanke told reports.
Higher food and energy prices, the aftermath of the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which has caused disruptions in local supply chains, have slowed the recovery. "However," said Bernanke, "some moderation in gasoline prices is now a prospect and the effects of the Japanese disaster and manufacturing output are likely to dissipate in coming months."
Bernanke took questions following a meeting of the Fed's decision-making body. According to a readout of the meeting, the Fed decided to keep short-term interest rates near zero for several more months and stick with plans to end the purchase of $600 billion of U.S. Treasurys on June 30.
Bernanke said that the recovery has hit a snag but that the Fed won't be raising interest rates for an extended period of time. Because of the state of the economy, the Fed is at least two or three meetings away from discussing raising interest rates, he added.
"I think the thrust of extended period is that we believe we're at least two or three meetings away from taking any further action — and I — and I emphasize 'at least,'" he said.
"But depending on how the economy evolves, and inflation and unemployment, it could be, you know, significantly longer. It'll depend on how the economy and the economic outlook changes. If we do get both improved job creation and inflation close to our — close to or even above our mandate — consistent level, then that would be a sign that we need to consider beginning an exit process."
He added, "But we're not there at this point."
Bernanke said he hopes that congressional negotiators take a longer-term view as they discuss budget cuts, and that in light of the weak economic recovery, it is best not to have sudden and sharp fiscal consolidations.
"By taking a long-run perspective, we can help the economy by reducing the risk that interest rates might rise suddenly. We may help increase confidence on the part of households and businesses," said Bernanke.
The chairman described the crisis plaguing the economy of Greece as "very difficult." "I think the Europeans appreciate the incredible importance of resolving the Greek situation. If there were a failure to resolve that situation, it would pose threats to the European financial systems, the global financial system and to European political unity, I would — I would conjecture as well."
Describing the housing sector as important to a recovery, Bernanke outlined some of the problems still facing home sales in the U.S. He said the market slump continues because credit standards for mortgages have tightened up and there is uncertainly among consumers about their employment situation and whether or not they can take a chance to buy a house. He said the Fed is trying to address these problems in a number of ways.
"Of course our monetary policy is intended to try promote employment and income gains, which of course will help housing demand. As regulators, we have recently issued cease-and-desist orders to servicers who try to improve servicing practices. We work with our regulated banks to ask them to do modifications where appropriate and to manage their REO real estate — owned real estate in a economy-supportive way."

Fair warning: This falls in the shameless-plug category. But considering the topic, and the involvement of ClickZ readers, it seems appropriate.
Frankly, I know how to begin answering that question only because ClickZ readers, along with visitors to sister site InternetNews - Advertising Report (IAR), participated in an online survey conducted by yet another sister site, CyberAtlas. (Of course, I also have an inkling about the issue because I read what ClickZ columnists write!)
Fair warning: This falls in the shameless-plug category. But considering the topic, and the involvement of ClickZ readers, it seems appropriate.
My colleague, Michael J. Pastore, is the author of the newly released report ("Internet Advertising: Where Are We Now?") based on that survey. He conducted the quantitative analysis of the sample data from over 300 readers of ClickZ and IAR. The qualified sample consisted of 235 respondents.
In planning the report, CyberAtlas Research set out to discover how marketers feel about Internet advertising, what they have tried, what they hoped to accomplish, whether their efforts were cost-effective, and whether they were satisfied with the return on investment (ROI).
For an excellent summary, see Pamela Parker's article, "Web Ad Budgets: Bigger Slice of a Smaller Pie," on ChannelSeven.com. You can view the report's table of contents -- and purchase a PDF version of the report for $295 -- here

Risk and Return Case 7 Peachtree Securities, Inc. (A) Peachtree Securities is a regional brokerage house based in Atlanta. Although the firm is only 20 years old, it has prospered by following a simple goal-providing quality personal brokerage services to small investors. Jake Taylor, the firm's founder and president, is wellsatisfied with Peachtree's progress. However, he is apprehensive about the future, as more and more of the firm's customers are buying mutual funds rather than individual stocks and bonds. Thus, even though the number of customers per office has been increasing because of population growth, the number of transactions per customer has been decreasing, and hence sales growth has slackened. Taylor believes this trend will continue, so he has been actively expanding his product line in an effort to increase sales volume. As a first step, Peachtree began offering trust and portfolio management services five years ago. Many of the trust clients are retirees who are interested primarily in current income rather than capital gains. Thus, an average portfolio consists mostly of bonds and high yield stocks. The stock component is heavily weighted with electric utilities, an industry that has traditionally paid high dividends. For example, the average electric company's dividend yield was about 6.3 percent in 1992, versus an average stock's yield of3.1 percent. Until 1993, Peachtree had no in-house security analysts-all stock and bond selections were based on research provided by subscription services. However, these services had become very costly, and the volume of portfolio management had reached the point where hiring an inhouse analyst was now cost-effective. Because most of its portfolios were heavily weighted with electric utilities, Peachtree created its first analyst position to track this industry. Taylor hired Laura Donahue, a recent graduate of the University of Georgia, to fill the job. Donahue reported to work in early January, 1993, jubilant at having the opportunity to use the skills she had worked so hard to learn. Taylor then informed her that her first task would be to conduct a seminar for a group of Peachtree customers on stock investments, including the effects of different securities on portfolio performance. Donahue was asked to pick an electric utility, assess its riskiness, develop an estimate of its required rate of return on equity, and then present her findings to a group of Peachtree's customers. Donahue's first step-choosing the company-was simple. She had been born and raised in Tampa, Florida, so she picked TECO Energy, Inc., the holding company for Tampa Electric. Next, she searched for information on the company. Donahue remembered using the Value Line Investment Survey during her student days, so she turned to this source first. (See Figure 1 on the last page of this case.) Then, she spent a few days reviewing industry trends to gain an historical perspective. Electric utilities are granted monopolies to provide electric service in a given geographical area. In exchange for the franchise, the company is subjected to regulation over both the prices it may charge and the quality of its service. In theory, regulation acts to prevent the company from abusing its monopoly position, and its prices are set to mimic those that would occur if the firm were operating under perfect competition. Under such competition, the firm would earn its cost of capital, no more and no less. In the 1950s and much of the 1960s, electric utilities were in an ideal position. Their costs were declining because of technological advances and economies of scale in generation and distribution. This made everyone happy-managers, regulators, stockholders, and customers. However, the situation changed dramatically during the 1970s, when inflation, along with high gas and oil prices, pushed construction and operating costs to levels which were unimaginable just a few years earlier. The result was a massive change in the economics of the industry and in how investors viewed electric utilities. 1 Today, the industry is facing many challenges including cogeneration, diversification, deregulation, and nuclear generation. Cogeneration is the combined production of electricity and thermal power, usually steam. Most electric companies use coal or nuclear energy to generate electricity. In the 1980s, though, oil and gas prices dropped sharply, making it cheaper to generate with gas or oil. However, one cannot burn gas or oil in a coal or nuclear plant. The changed fuel cost situation, combined with a need for steam, made it profitable for many industrial customers to switch to cogeneration. This, in turn, has made it very difficult for utilities to forecast industrial demand. Also, since utilities must buy any surplus power generated by their former customers, companies with cogeneration plants are, in effect, competing with the electric companies. Diversification, or expansion into nonregulated industries, is being evaluated by many utility companies. Due to large depreciation flows following completion of major plant construction programs in the early 1980's, many companies now have cash flows that exceed immediate needs. Industry officials believe that usage of these cash flows to diversify into nonregulated industries would smooth out the financial risks of the regulated business, while providing companies an opportunity to earn returns above those allowed by regulation. To facilitate diversification, many electric utilities, including TECO, have formed holding companies under which the parent company holds both regulated and nonregulated subsidiaries. Diversification does have some potential downside for both utility customers (ratepayers) and stockholders. Ratepayers are supposed to pay the costs associated with producing and delivering power, plus enough to cover the utility's cost of capital. However, a diversified utility could, theoretically, allocate some corporate costs that should be assigned to the unregulated (diversified) subsidiaries to the regulated utility. This would cause reported profits to be abnormally high for the nonregulated business. In effect, ratepayers would be subsidizing the nonregulated businesses. The total corporation's overall rate of return would be excessive, because it would be earning the regulated cost of capital on utility operations and more than a competitive return on nonregulated operations. Of course, regulators are aware of all this, so their auditors are always on the alert to detect and prevent improper cost allocations. There are two significant risks to stockholders from utility diversification programs. First, there is the chance that utility executives, who generally have limited exposure to intense competition, will fail in the competitive, nonregulated, markets they enter. In that case, money that could have been paid out as dividends will have been lost in business ventures that turned out to be unprofitable. Second, if the diversified activities are highly profitable, causing the overall corporation to earn a high rate of return, then regulators might reduce the returns allowed on the utility operations. There is always a question as to what a company's cost of capital really is-hence the rate of return the utility commission should allow it to earn-and it is easier for a commission to set the allowed rate of return at the low end of any reasonable range if the company is highly profitable because of successful nonregulated businesses. Thus, it has been argued that diversified utilities might be getting into a "can't-win" situation. As one analyst put it, a diversified utility's stockholders are in a "heads you win, tails I lose" situation. There is also much discussion at present about the deregulation of the electricity markets per se, and there is much controversy over the forced use of "wheeling," whereby a customer (usually a large industrial customer) buys power from some other party but gets delivery over the transmission lines of the utility in whose service area it operates. This situation has occurred to a large extent in the gas industry , where large customers have contracted directly with producers and then forced (through legal actions) pipeline companies to deliver the gas. Another problem facing many, but not all, electric companies relates to nuclear plants. A few decades ago, nuclear power was thought by many to be the wave of the future in electric generation. It was widely believed that nuclear was cleaner and cheaper than coal, oil, and gas generation. However, the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island almost instantly reversed the future of nuclear power. Many plants that were under construction at that time were canceled, while the costs of completing the remaining plants skyrocketed. Many partially completed plants had to be retrofitted with new safety devices. As a result, the cost of power from new nuclear plants rose dramatically. Further, several states have held referendums to close nuclear plants. With this industry overview in mind, Laura Donahue developed the data in Table 1 on returns expected in the coming year. TECO is the stock of primary interest, Gold Hill is a domestic gold mining company, and the S&P 500 Fund is a mutual fund that invests in the stocks 2 which make up the S&P 500 index. Donahue's final preparatory step was to outline some questions that she believed to be relevant to the task at hand. See if you can answer the questions she developed. Table 1 Estimated Total Returns 1-Year T-Bond 5.8% 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 State of the Economy Recession Below average Average Above average Boom Probability 0.10 0.20 0.40 0.20 0.10 Estimated Total Returns Gold S&P 500 TECO Hill Fund -6.0% 2.0 10.0 14.0 20.0 16.0% 13.0 9.0 4.0 - 6.0 -9.0% 2.0 11.0 15.0 18.0 Questions 1. Calculate the expected rate of return on each of the four alternatives listed in Table 1. Based solely on expected returns, which of the potential investments appears best? 2. Now calculate the standard deviations for the four alternatives. What type of risk do these statistics measure? 3. Suppose an investor forms a stock portfolio by investing $10,000 in Gold Hill and $10,000 in TECO. a. What would be the portfolio's expected rate of return and standard deviation? b. Explain the differences between total risk, diversifiable (company-specific) risk, and market risk. c. Assume that you choose to hold a single stock portfolio. Should you expect to be compensated for all of the risk that you bear? 4. Plot the Security Market Line. (Hint: Use Table 1 data to obtain the risk-free rate and the required rate of return on the market.) What is the required rate of return on TECO's stock using Value Line's beta estimate of 0.6? Based on the CAPM analysis, should investors buy TECO stock? 3

El lugar está cómodo, el rumbo hay que ir con precaución por la noche.
Shapan was very welcoming and accommodating. The room he provides is spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is impeccably clean. The location is a very short walk from the metro, and the neighborhood has plenty of restaurants and shops, to include a really charming stall market just a block away with fresh meat, produce, and bulk goods.
Shapan hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert und war bemüht dass wir uns in seiner Wohnung wohl fühlen.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen - 5 min vom Bahnhof, 10-15 min zu Fuß in die Stadt. Das Bahnhofsviertel ist ein multikulturelles Viertel - typisches Bahnhofsviertel einer Großstadt. Es ist nachts sehr laut und etwas schwierig zu schlafen (nächstes Mal vielleicht Ohropax einpacken).
Die Wohnung war sauber und aufgeräumt - auf dem Photo sieht das Zimmer aber noch heller und freundlicher aus. Da das Zimmer im 1. Stock ist, sind die Fensterläden geschlossen und waren mit einem kleinen Schloss versperrt. Wir waren nur zum schlafen in der Wohnung, deshalb hat uns das nicht gestört.
Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden. Für mehrere Tage sollte man aber tiefen Schlaf oder Ohropax einplanen.
After 4 nights in the flat with my mother I have the following:
Shapan is a good host, always able to help and asking if everything is ok.
The location is very central, with the buses 64 and 40 every 5min we could go to every main place of the city.
Cheap options of restaurants around.
The room and bathroom are clean, the bed comfortable and hot shower.
The street is very noisy, hard to sleep even with the windows closed.
I didn't feel safe in this area at night to walk alone.
The lack of wifi was difficult to lead.
It's a good option for a short stay (2days max) and mainly to the ones that have to take train or flight in the early morning.
Let me make an audit of the property cause I also have a couple of flats and to be honest I'm aware of the details. So first thing is Shapan is nice and welcoming person who tries to make you feel comfortable. No light at all. And no WIFI/how come no WIFI in 21st century?!/ The windows has been blocked by doors from outside. These doors had a chain and has been locked. The neighborhood is challenging and many drunk people staying on the streets. Shapan requests city tax/per person per day - 2 euro/ and gave me the receipt when we were leaving the flat.
It was cheaper but I would rent another room next time.
Nice place to have a rome stay, host is friendly and communicative, recommended!
Si trova vicino alla stazione ed è molto comodo, il proprietario è molto gentile e disponibile, stanza semplice e pulita.
I am very happy to meet people and I am a very responsable worker. I enjoy hosting people and to exchange ideas .

We truly enjoyed our recent trip to Splash Lagoon and the Residence Inn was a big part of that. It was nice to come back from the water park through the short indoor tunnel and "home' to the quieter RI. They had a great pool and jacuzzi at the RI, too, much quieter than Splash Lagoon, even a small sauna, too, where you could literally dry off and warm up from the water park. This hotel also offers free breakfast buffet and a small free dinner with inexpensive wine, beer and soft drinks offered free of charge. Might be nice if the wines were a local NY wine rather than a boxed wine, though.
Some other reviewers have noted that it is crowded at breakfast - well, that is why you have a full kitchen and table in your room, just bring the food upstairs in dine in the comfort of your room. The rooms are huge with a large kitchen with full-sized fridge and a huge couch that could pull out for a bed and still have a couch next to it. We loved the fireplace and HUGE, 3-4 person hot tub in the bathroom.
VERY nice staff here, too. We checked in early, no issue, and had pleasant conversations with all staff members we encountered. My only reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is a few little housekeeping issues, we had only 3 towels and had booked the room for 4 people, no issue to get more of course, there was a small, recent stain on the rug and there was a blood stain on the sheets of one of the beds which we asked to have changed. I know they had recent upgrades, but I still noticed a few small dings here and there throughout the space. Just little things like one of the beds had very little clearance for the door, etc. I would be happy to recommend hotel to a friend. Enjoy! Oh- and Splash Lagoon was great, and very large.

Despite current efforts, greenhouse gas emissions could grow 50% over the next 40 years, according to a report from the international Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. This could increase the global average temperature by up to 11° F by 2100 — far exceeding the internationally agreed limit of about 3.5°. The report says the cheapest policy solution would be to set a global carbon price that would link existing trading schemes. It also suggests putting an end to fossil fuel subsidies. www.oecd.org

Publisher Bethesda's director of global PR Tracey Thompson just released this statement to clarify previous rumors: Development of Prey 2 has not been cancelled, but the game will not be released in 2012 as planned. The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards. Prey 2 has shown great promise, and we regret disappointing our fans. We have made a substantial investment in game development to deliver the experience fans want. We are determined only to release the AAA game that fans rightfully expect, and are unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule.

Muriel Harris was the director of the Purdue Writing Center where she worked elbow-to-elbow with students for over twenty-five years. Based on her experience assisting thousands of writing students, she authored the Prentice Hall Reference Guide with several goals in mind. The handbook is brief, with the most concise explanations possible. It is tabbed for ease of use, enabling students to quickly find what they're looking for. And, it features the foundational teaching tools she developed during her tenure at the writing center: the innovative Question and Correct and Compare and Correct features. These features address the challenges that student writers face in an accessible, easy-to-use manner. The streamlined and user-friendly organization and innovative student-focused features make the Prentice Hall Reference Guide the easiest handbook for students—and instructors—to use.

Hurricane Katrina Visuals (Module 5)
Consider the Hurricane-Katrina-related visual images found on pages 44-45 in the Prentice Hall Reference Guide. Note that the book's author has categorized the primary rhetorical appeal of each image (logos, pathos, ethos). Choose one, two, or all of the images, and, using the principles of argument you have learned so far, write a 300 word maximum analysis of why you feel Harris is right or wrong in her judgment about the pictures' impact. Be sure your reasons are based on a careful analysis of the specific visual elements in the image(s) selected.

Allergic rhinitis - mold
Things that make allergies or asthma worse are called triggers. Mold is a common trigger. When your asthma or allergies become worse due to mold, you are said to have a mold allergy.
There are many types of mold. They all need water or moisture to grow.
Fabrics, carpets, stuffed animals, books, and wallpaper can contain mold spores if they are in damp places. Outdoors, mold lives in the soil, on compost, and on plants that are damp. Keeping your house and yard drier will help control mold growth.
Central heating and air-conditioning systems can help control mold.

retro? cordless landline phone that isn't ugly
Seems like no one is designing these any more. What I'm looking for is:
* touchtone
* designed for North America
* cordless
* works
* possibly retro styling
* preferably wall mounted
* not insanely expensive
This what I DON'T want -
Is this too hard? Pottery Barn used to make one, but now they only have the corded one, which isn't practical for me.
The least horrifying option I've found:
Quality doesn't look great.
Here is a link that might be useful: Swissvoice Digital Cordless Telephone
I think the swiss voice phone is inteded to be used as adjunct to your smartphone.
Not sure if it is still around but you might find the Orefon on eBay. It was made for a short time by Oregon Scientific. Bang & Olufson phones are sometimes on there too if you like that sort of thing.
I've been waffling among phones for so long the one I already have is almost retro!
Here is a link that might be useful: phone assortment
edb2n- I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this. I haven't had a landline for 14 years. My parents really held on to there's for a long time thinking it was necessary but they finally, about 4 years ago got rid of it and reclaimed that monthly cost.
And we just built a house with a metal roof and some metal siding. Good luck getting your phone to ring inside there! (But maybe that could be a good thing. Using your phone will be like smoking-- you'll have to go outside, and thus at least be more aware of mindlessly indulging...)
I have to have a landline so I can have internet. We don't make any calls with it because they charge us long distance for every prefix that isn't ours. There might be 200 people who use my prefix! I can't even call 800 numbers or my own cell number. I am looking for a wall phone for my kitchen that doesn't take up much room. Free incoming calls! $110.00 a month for medium speed internet.
Peke- \(`o')/ 110.00 just for internet?!?! Eek, that's pricey.
I don't have the greatest cell phone reception where I live, outside of town in the country, but thankfully I have cable internet that I pay 50 a month for.
Crosley is the brand that makes cool retro phones. Here's my favorite wall phone on Amazon, but they have desk phones, too.
Here is a link that might be useful: Crosley retro phone
How about this? Also, I found the cordless Pottery Barn one on ebay, too.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cool cordless phone
Cool circle phone, not quite the right look though.
Cell phones are expensive! My landline is cheaper, even with using a pay-as-you-go cell phone for convenience. I'm in a city in Canada. Also, my children don't have cell phones but I want it to be easy for them to make an emergency call. My older child is starting to be left alone for brief periods.
I'm interested in this thread, too. Our phone in the kitchen had become invisible to us until we began planning a remodel. Then we realized how ugly it looks jutting out of the wall. But the location is really convenient and I know it would be annoyingly impractical to hide it in a cabinet.
Much like the MW - homely, but needed and used often.
>You are aware that a cordless phone won't work if the power goes out, right?
Yes, but it's no big deal to keep an old corded phone in the closet for when that happens.
I agree with Feisty. Where I live cell reception is horrid,but even if it weren't landline+prepaid is still way cheaper. I pay about $50 a month for unlimited landline use and $100 a year for cellular.
I have 0 interest in getting rid of my landline. I tend to have phone conversations more than 10 minutes long, and I've never used a cell phone that I could use as comfortably for more than a couple of minutes. I can't tuck my cell phone under my chin so I can do laundry while I talk, for example.
I have a panasonic cordless phone that works when the power goes out. I purchased it on Amazon. Panasonic KXTG7875S was the model number. Great phone all around.
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Panasonic cordless phone with battery backup
We keep a landline for babysitters without cells (yes, I have a teenage babysitter who does not have a cell) and for the brief periods ds is left at home alone. Also we lived a mile from the pentagon on 9-11. Dh and I were separated for most of the day while I figured out how to get home from my office, six blocks from the Capitol, and he figured out whether he was supposed to stay at home as scheduled or report for duty. Throughout the day which phones were actually working switched back and forth as circuits were quite overloaded. My memories of that day reinforce my desire to keep a landline just in case.
Also,we have an awesome orginal phone niche that I need to fill. Thanks for starting this thread! I'll be checking out the suggestions.
"I have 0 interest in getting rid of my landline"
same with me!! my phone line is my internet line too. The 2 together = about 85.00 a month. LD is free.
I've been using an old phone from my sister - it has caller ID and large keys on it. I need both of those.
I had a cell once. one got stolen. then I got a trac phone. it's dead in a drawer... needs new sims card. I packed it somewhere... would only want it for emergency on the road. otherwise I have no use for one. I use the phone as little as possible. I seldom talk to anyone but my kids and a good friend or 2. that might be once or twice a month.
but I'll check out the sites listed cause I probably should be looking for a new phone. This one is probably 15 yrs or so old!
Wouldn't someone still need to be paying for LL svc in order to pull an old phone out of a closet during an emergency to use it?
anyone used the phone resource site? recommend it?
I found 2 on there I like - a RCA @ 58.00 a Uniden @ 48.00. Both have features I need and a few I should have.
- RCA amplified corded speakerphone
- Amplified handset volume
- Audio tone adjustment
- Amplified ringer
- Enhanced visual ring indicator
- Base speakerphone with volume control
- Call waiting caller ID
- Tilt screen display
- Large keypad
- 3 one-touch speed dial
- Hearing aid compatible
both can be wall hung. I probably won't but should - that'd keep my pup from disconnecting me... she doesn't like it when I'm on the phone and jumps around - often with her paw hitting the disconnect button.
Slightly OT: just another reason (for me) to keep the land line.
I live in a three story house - if we include the basement (where I keep kitty litter & laundry) it's four stories. Without a land line, I'd constantly be putting the phone down - on top of the washing machine in the basement, on the bathroom tub ring on the 3rd floor, in the second floor guestroom... and then forgetting where I left it.
And no way to call myself (I live alone) to find it. Not to mention just getting into bed (on the third floor) & hearing the phone ring, on its charger, on the first floor.
The post at 1:21 needs a can opener.
Phones and landlines can be two different issues nowadays as most likely know
When I still had the landline I purchased a 4- handset phone from Panasonic. Works just fine. There's the main phone with the base and 3 extensions for other rooms. That landline was a nightmare because Verizon doesn't want to maintain landlines. It would go out and when we lose power -- and need it -- it was just dead. It also was $40+ per month.
When I changed my cell provider, after we moved, I was able to cut the "landline" cost in half by switching the number to Verizon's at home cell service. Same phones. Better reception, no static ever and it doesn't go dead when the power goes out as it has a backup battery. $20/month. Fortunately, there was good coverage where we live -- pre-checking coverage is key. Ours was excellent. If it's marginal, don't.
I just got that Crosley phone that Julia42 posted. Ours is black. It's our kitchen wall phone and I love it. Reception is perfect, it's always there when it need it, and is super comfortable to talk on. I find cordless to be very uncomfortable, poor reception , and always "walking" off somewhere else. I also like the fun retro look it has. Sorry that doesn't answer your question, but I was on the hunt for what you are looking for and never found it.

Feisty, I live in Canada too (Ontario) and you're right about the cost of cell phones. We still have landline, and use pay as you go with President's Choice, at $100/year.
My parents have this phone on their wall. Not exactly retro, but it gets it off the table. They have the dial pad facing the wall, so the back of the phone faces outward.
Have you looked at cordless phones from VTech? Our last landline phone which we had for several years was VTech and were happy with the quality. They have several retro cordless options and slim, modern unassuming phones as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: One cool retro one
If you have lousy/no cell service in your homes, you can get mini cells from your cell company that give you cell service over your internet. Voice over IP. It really works - takes us from minimal signal inside our house to full service. Of course, it does require electricity and internet service - not so good during service outages...
Here's one that isn't ugly, but it's not retro.
I use land line mostly and keep a non-powered phone handy in case of power outage. I have a cell phone but do not turn it on unless I am traveling. I do not use text at all and have no desire to. No one ever calls me any more anyway.
Publickman, that one isn't bad! I'll keep that in mind.
I've used Vtech phones before...they're OK. I'm not sure what to think about the Vtech Retro phone posted - the styling is an odd mix of modern and retro. I could see it working in some spaces but not mine.
Thanks for the input...I'm still looking.
Brookstone has a large selection of retro phones right now. Maybe someone can use one?

Or buy the pottery Barn one off eBay
Here is a link that might be useful: eBay cordless
I'm here to second the recommendation of homepro01 for the Panasonic cordless phones. I've had the KX-TG6572R DECT 6.0 model for 3 years with 0 problems using VOIP thru Phone Power. No cool factor, just cheap, reliable and with a very small footprint. To me the retro phones look like clunkers. I would focus on reliable before looking at cool. My phone research 3 years ago showed most cordless phones had very poor track records.
A couple of people have mentioned keeping a landline in case of power loss. It depends on your phone company. Our last local phone company had no generator which meant loss of phone service every time they or us lost power. Check out that before making plans.
Regarding the Pottery Barn or other no name phones I would trust a company which actually makes it their business to design/manufacture phone and other technology rather than a company that makes pillows.
VOIP does not work for everyone. My DH works from home, and it's too expensive at this house and just didn't work at our last house.
IowaCommute, it's a phone not a heart valve. Honestly not trying to be rude, but I have had in the past 2 Pottery Barn phone for years and they worked great. Although I doubt very much that Pottery Barn made it, they probably just design the outside (or copy the design, ðÂÂÂ) and brand it and one of the phone companies make it.
ETA: you do bring up a good point about keeping the landline. We have a landline but it's through Verizon fios so it does have a limited battery life in case of power outage. It's something everyone should look into, what happens to your basic utilities in case of long term power outage.

I really like this corded wall phone. I will always need an enterphone in this home (doorbell for our complex), and it's good to have a corded phone for emergencies as long as we maintain our land line. The Crosley wall phone is still an option as well.
I think I might hide my ugly Vtech cordless and call this issue resolved?

Hevea brasiliensis, the rubber tree or Pará rubber tree, is a medium to large tropical tree in the Euphorbiaceae (spurge family) native to South America (the Brazilian and Bolivian region covering Amazon and Orinoco river basins), which produces a milky sap (latex) that is the primary source of natural rubber. Although some wild-grown trees are still tapped for their sap, most commercial production now comes from rubber tree plantations in southern and southeastern Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka), as well as western Africa.
Other species that contain latex that may be used for natural rubber production include gutta-percha (Palaquium gutta), rubber fig (Ficus elastica), and Panama rubber tree (Castilla elastica), although none are used to the same extent as H. brasiliensis.
The rubber tree may grow to 30 m (100 ft) or more where it occurs in the wild, although plantation trees generally reach heights of around 17 m (60 ft). The thick, leathery leaves, up to 60 cm (24 in) long, are compound, with 3 elliptic leaflets, each with entire (unserrated) margins and prominent secondary veins. The inflorescence is a many-flowered panicle (a much-branched cluster), up to 16 cm (6.5 in) long, with a small white petal-less female flower in the center, surrounded by small 5-lobed or dissected male flowers. The fruit is a large ellipsoidal capsule, usually 3-valved and 5 to 6 cm in diameter (2 to 2.5 in), containing gray-brown, flattened ellipsoidal seeds.
The sap, which can be harvested from the inner bark when the tree reaches 6 or 7 years, is obtained by tapping—cutting the bark and letting the sap drip out, then coagulated. Amazonian natives had long used the rubber that naturally forms from the latex, including to make balls used in early games, but the untreated rubber would become soft and sticky in the heat, and brittle in the cold. This problem was remedied by the chemical process known as vulcanization, developed by Charles Goodyear in the 1840s, which allows rubber to remain firm but flexible in all temperatures. Vulcanization allowed natural rubber products to become commercially successful, and promoted commercial plantations in tropical areas in Asia and Africa.
In 2010, 11 countries accounted for 92% of global production of natural rubber from H. brasiliensis: Cambodia; China; India, Indonesia; Malaysia; Papua New Guinea; Philippines; Singapore; Sri Lanka; Thailand; and Vietnam. Natural rubber is not produced in significant amounts in its native South America, because trees there are widely affected by South American leaf blight, caused by the fungus Microcyclus ulei (Ascomycota).
Synthetic rubber, which is processed from petroleum and was developed during the 1920s through 1940s, now makes up roughly 70% of the rubber manufactured worldwide, but natural rubber continues to have important uses in manufacturing and textiles.

Cris Alexander Actor/Photographer Dies at 92. Cris Alexander, New York Broadway actor and renowned portrait photographer died on Wednesday, March 7th of natural causes, his death was confirmed by William J. Burke & Sons Funeral Home of Saratoga Springs, NY. The recent death of his partner and spouse of 62 years, Shaun O'Brien, former New York City Ballet dancer/actor, led to Cris' death. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 14th, 1920, Cris moved to New York City at the age of 18 to pursue his dream. Cris was raised by his devoted father, and attended high school with Tony Randall. They performed their own weekly radio show along with other exceptionally talented classmates. He was a singer, dancer, painter and world-renowned photographer. His portrait photography included: Cris and Shaun's dear friend Gloria Vanderbilt, also Vivian Lee, Andy Warhol, and Martha Graham to name just a few. Cris was recognized most often for his role as one of the three sailors in the original Broadway production of "On The Town" in 1944. Cris is pictured on the left, with John Battles (center) and Adolph Green. He performed a memorable part in the movie "Auntie Mame" as the excitable toy department store manager at Macy's. That scene was played with the famous, Rosalind Russell. Peggy Cass, a close friend, also played a hilarious character in "Auntie Mame" as Mame Dennis' comic secretary, Agnes Gooch. Cris also collaborated on several books with well known author and good friend Patrick Dennis, including "Little Me", and "First Lady". Both books are filled with Cris' wonderful photography and settings. In 1966 the New York City Ballet brought the talented couple to Saratoga Springs, NY where they have lived full time since 1993. Cris and Shaun were an integral part of their community, and added to the creative nature of Saratoga Springs. Cris will be missed by his fans and also by many close friends and acquaintances from their community. A celebration of Cris and Shaun's life will be held at a later date.

New research published in the journal Biogeosciences provides a detailed account of how carbon naturally flows into and out of crops themselves as they grow, are harvested and are then eaten far from where they're grown. The paper shows how regions that depend on others to grow their food end up releasing the carbon that comes with those crops into the atmosphere.
Changes in ocean chemistry due to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to damage shellfish populations around the world, but some nations will feel the impacts much sooner and more intensely than others, according to a study by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI, USA).
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District has agreed to make extensive improvements to its sewer systems and treatment plants to eliminate illegal overflows of untreated raw sewage and to reduce pollution levels in urban rivers and streams.
Writing in the journal Annals of Botany, Professor Douglas Kell argues that developing crops that produce roots more deeply in the ground could harvest more carbon from the air, and make crops more drought resistant, while dramatically reducing carbon levels.
Ensuring that a population of fish is breeding naturally within their holding pens is a sustainable fish farming goal.
Over one-third of the world's population already lives in areas struggling to keep up with the demand for fresh water.
Residents in the Midwest awoke to the highest mold count for the season after a night of torrential rain and lightening strikes. An official air alert was issued by Joseph Leija, MD, allergist who performs the official allergy count for the Midwest for the National Allergy Bureau.
To date, many academics and government officials have argued that putting a price on carbon – most commonly through taxes or emissions trading – is all that is needed to overcome every possible barrier to delivering cost-effective energy efficiency improvements.
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Ford Motor Co. have assessed the global availability of lithium and compared it to the potential demand from large-scale global use of electric vehicles.
Rice – which provides nearly half the daily calories for the world's population – could become adapted to climate change and some catastrophic events by colonizing its seeds or plants with the spores of tiny naturally occurring fungi, U.S. Geological Survey-led research shows.
Coccolithophores, a certain group of algae, form thinner calcite skeletons when the pH value in the ocean drops. In marine ecosystems, changes in the degree of calcification are much more pronounced than presumed to date based on laboratory tests. These changes have an impact on the global carbon balance since the examined microalgae influence the carbon dioxide exchange between ocean and atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide still plays a major role in climate change, but other greenhouse gases contribute to the problem.
The Department of Energy's L Prize challenged the lighting industry to develop high-performance, energy-saving replacements for conventional light bulbs that will save American consumers and businesses money.
More than 150 child car seats, including Graco, Fisher Price, Britax and Evenflo, were tested for hazardous chemicals. See the best and worst list.
While the popularity of locally and regionally grown food is on the rise among Americans, food accessibility remains a major concern for those with limited financial resources.
This practice of sampling and analyzing tissue from trees and other plants to determine the presence of contaminants in soil and groundwater holds promise because it gives engineers a quick, accurate and inexpensive way to measure the extent of environmental pollutants without having to dig into the ground.
Fallen autumn leaves transfer as much, if not more, hazardous mercury from the atmosphere to the environment as does precipitation each year, according to recent U.S. Geological Survey research.
Researchers found that bacterial microbes inside the slick degraded the oil at a rate five times faster than microbes outside the slick—accounting in large part for the disappearance of the slick some three weeks after Deepwater Horizon's Macondo well was shut off.
While international climate talks remain deadlocked, the Montreal Protocol has been methodically eliminating some of the worst chemicals contributing to global warming.
New research suggests that nearly half the Earth's heat comes from the radioactive decay of materials beneath the surface, according to a large international research collaboration that includes a Kansas State University physicist.
