If you hear 2 text tones when receiving a text, disable your system text notification sound and enable a default text tone in the preferences for the app. If you have another app that is playing a tone when you receive a text, you will need to disable that functionality in that app.
If your phone doesn't allow you to set a ringtone to "Silent", please download:

Ringo Pro is a fun and powerful way to customize sms ringtones for each of your contacts. Simply pick your friends inside Ringo and pick a music ringtone or SMS tone - you'll know instantly who is texting or calling you!
Supercharge your SMS Text & Call Notifications with Ringo Pro, the leading customisation app for Android!
Ringo Pro lets you easily pick and use any MP3 music file as your ringtone - and set individual ringtones for each of your contacts and caller groups.
Ringo really powers up your SMS text message notifications too - set a different tone for each contact's messages, and control LED colors (when supported), caller or message sender voice announcing, pop-up notifications and more!
In fact, Ringo Pro allows you to customize almost every aspect of ring tone and SMS notification. If you are one of the many people who don't notice the polite vibrating of the phone when it rings, Ringo Pro offers a much stronger vibration. Vibration patterns are aptly named: Discreet, Classic, Enthusiastic, Frenzied, and Relentless.
Ringo Pro will really shine as you start to apply its custom settings to caller groups and to individuals in your contact list. Each person can be assigned a unique ring tone, unique SMS tone, their own color of blinking LED (on phones that support it), and a unique level of vibrate intensity. You will know instantly whether a call is from your brother, boss, or broker. One user sets a discreet ring tone and SMS tone as a default, then gives each important caller his or her unique tones.
Ringo Pro is packed full of customization options, so you can configure your incoming calls and SMS Text alerts exactly how you want them! You can even customise your tones for SMS that come from email, and for Class 0 (Flash) SMS messages.
Now, you can use Time Out to silence Ringo till the top of the hour - perfect for meetings - and Quiet Hours to silence Ringo for a fixed time every day.
If you are using Ringo with GO SMS Pro or Handcent, note that these apps can disable the SMS notifications for all other apps, including Ringo, which stops Ringo working. You can fix this in their settings.
In GO SMS Pro, tap Menu / Settings / Advanced tab / Notification Settings, and uncheck Notifications. Then go to Receive Settings and un-check 'Disable other message notification'.
In Handcent, Tap Menu / Settings / Application Settings.
Tap 'Default Messaging Application', and choose Disable.
Then turn on 'Lower priority'.
Emergency Alert
A useful application for the following scenarios:
- Business continuity
- Urgent notifications from friends or family
- Disaster notifications - Earthquakes, flood alerts and security threats
The application listens out to specially formatted SMS messages - when triggered, the app can alert you one of three ways:
Green Alert - This alert simply displays a popup message from the sender.
Yellow Alert - This alert will vibrate until dismissed, allowing you to be quietly notified of an urgent matter.
Red Alert - This alert will alert you with a loud alarm and vibration until dismissed, even if the device is on silent with media volume turned down.
To trigger the rules, the sender or automated alert system needs to be aware of the text to add at the beginning of the SMS message:
**redalert**, **yellowalert**, or **greenalert**. Any text sent after the alert status will be displayed in the popup on the screen. See the screenshots for example.
The app is also intelligent - if you have a headset plugged in, it will use the current volume so you aren't deafened! Without headphones, the alert will play at full volume through the speaker, ensuring you won't miss an alert.
Please Note: Other apps that intercept SMS messages may affect the alert - please test on your device after installation to ensure it is working with your set up.

Long SMS
It has following consequences.
1. Even if you have unlimited free SMS you have to pay for MMS(As it is converted to MMS)
2. People replying using the 'reply' button on their non-Android phones can, without realising, send their replies by MMS, and hence cost themselves more money than necessary.
3. A lot of people's phones cannot accept MMS messages, whether that be due to hardware limitations or that they are simply not set up for them
If you have any suggestions(good/bad), feature request or Bug Report for Long SMS then please send same on firstname.lastname@example.com

NOTE: Due to limitations of the Android System starting in Android 4.4, you will not be able to use your tablet for Google Voice support. It will only be possible to use Google Voice on a device that has SMS functionality. This is due to the new SMS API's included with KitKat and setting up a default SMS application, which can't be done on a tablet.
Talking SMS and Caller ID Free
The caller must be in your contacts for the app to speak caller name, otherwise it speaks it out as unknown caller or says the number. This is a free version and has some minor limitations. You can try this version for as long as you want before buying the pro version.
Most phone manufacturers (Samsung, HTC, LG, etc.) build their own messaging apps with brand specific user interfaces. The Nexus 5 has also removed Messaging and now includes Google Hangouts instead. Installing this app allows all Android 4.1+ owners to use the classic SMS/MMS app from Google.
This re-compiled version is maintained by SoftCoil Development for the benefit of the community. Please report any issues so that we can resolve them quickly. (Note that MMS may not work on your 4.2 device until we have fixed an OS bug. We are working on it though. :-) )
IMPORTANT Note For Moto G and Moto E Users: If you disable the default messaging app that comes with your phone in System -> Apps no other SMS messaging apps will work. You need to leave the messaging app that came with your phone installed and active for other messaging apps to work or you will experience errors sending and receiving messages.
We're always excited to hear from our users. Please send us feedback through our websites if you run into any issues so we can fix them ASAP.

8sms (Stock Messaging, KitKat)
** 8sms is "trial ware". The "trial" period is 14 days. **
** After the "trial" period, ads will appear (but you can continue to use 8sms for as long as you like). You can remove the ads by making an in-app donation: http://8s.ms/removing-ads **
Stock messaging app with useful updates and enhancements.
The latest and best from Android and CyanogenMod.
No bloat. No fuss.
Just a better stock app.
8sms is a port of the Android stock messaging (sms and mms) app with a few extra useful features then added on. The current version is ported from Android 4.4.4 and CyanogenMod 10.2 M1.
Notable features
• Quick reply pop-ups
• Emoji support
• Optional dark theme
• Clean and no bloat
• Most robust "out-of-the-box" mms support
Paid app and "trial" period
Due to problems with financial viability as a free app, 8sms has now effectively become a "premium" app (via in-app donations) with a free "trial" period.
There is a 14 day trial period for new installs. In the trial period, ads do not appear. After the trial period, ads will appear but if you donate, you can disable the ads: http://8s.ms/removing-ads
Donating the minimum amount listed in "In-app purchases" below is sufficient to disable the ads.
Donations are "remembered" across upgrades and reinstalls. If you update to a future version of 8sms or uninstall and reinstall, 8sms will remember that you have donated.
You only need to donate ONCE. If you ever have a problem with donations not being remembered, please email us for assistance.
In-app purchases
The in-app billing permission is used for in-app donations.
Usage (Android 4.3 and earlier)
8sms has two modes: default and Stand-alone mode.
In default mode, please do not disable or remove the messaging app that came with your device as that is still required to receive sms and mms messages. Instead, Turn off notifications for the messaging app that came with your device. Then you won't get two sets of notifications.
In Stand-alone mode, please disable or remove the messaging app that came with your device otherwise every new message will be stored twice.
Usage (Android 4.4 and later)
Please install and make 8sms your default sms app.
If you have a lot of old sms messages, it may take a few minutes for 8sms to load conversations the first time.
If you have issues using this app, please see http://8s.ms/info for helpful information and possible solutions. Sample topics include, for example:
Removing ads: http://8s.ms/removing-ads
Duplicate notifications or messages: http://8s.ms/duplicate-notifications-or-messages
Missing notifications or messages: http://8s.ms/missing-notifications-or-messages
Can't send or receive mms: http://8s.ms/cant-send-or-receive-mms
Dual SIM support: http://8s.ms/dual-sim-support
Then, if you still have issues, please ask for help.
Forum di supporto italiano (Italian language support)
This app requires a wide range of permissions because it is a port of a system app. System apps use a lot of permissions. Full network access is required in order to send (or download) mms using your phone's cellular data (mms) connection.
The "approximate location" permission is used for serving ads. It is not used if ads are disabled.
Compatibility and Feedback
If you install this app on your phone and it does not work, please try the links above.
If they don't help, then please email us via the registered email address of this app. Please be sure to specify your phone model and Android version number, and the version of 8sms you have installed.
Thank you.

"Love it!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this title! Although my favorite narrator is Jean Smart for this character, I still found that the readers voice was good and easily understood. This novel is full of suspense and action which I absolutely love! This is the 2nd audio book by this author I've experienced and am now hooked on the entire series! If you love detective novels with a smart-a$$, strong willed, kick-a$$ and take names type of character then you'll be in absolute heaven! Also, many mystery novels I read/hear end abruptly and never give you much aftermath information; Paretsky does!!! I love hearing how the characters end up, and this book is a good example. The family component in the novel is also awesome, since it gives you a better understanding of detective VI's history and upbringing. VI's temper, however, is something I had to get use to. Being a very relaxed type of person I couldn't relate to her getting upset at certain times. It seemed like whenever I would have gotten upset she was fine and when I didn't care she'd get upset. However it didn't ruin the story, just made me look at my own feelings more, HAHAHA!
This is the first VI novel I've heard and it has now made me an addict!!! The quality of the file is sketchy at first. I'm not sure if it was just my download, but it just jumped into narration. Luckily I continued and was absolutely amazed with how great the story and characters were. Also, I am a great fan of Jean Smart and love her interpretation of VI. A must hear!!!
"Love it!"
I'm currently addicted to all things VI! I absolutely love this book and am eagerly anticipating the next one. VI has never been shy about expressing her feelings (and I assume Ms. Paretsky's as well). In this novel she continues to give her beliefs on all things--healthcare, race relations, etc. I don't agree with all her beliefs but she's not me and I'm not her and to me all that matters is her unending search for the truth! VI doesn't care about what is PC or whose toes she might step on that are way up the food chain, she is David and the world is Goliath and she will stop at nothing to just get the simple truth with out all the BS! This novel also explores deeper into her own family history which I feel is normally cut out of many detective novels. Learning about her family is very interesting to me and listening to her inner conflicts concerning this case made me put myself in her situation and wonder how I would feel.
If you are a true VI fan then this is another home run!

text: I don't think it is right to say that companies such as Google or Facebook succeeded because of their business models alone. What people don't understand is that it took a lot of innovations in hardware and software engineering and brilliant engineers to realize what they offer to their users. I believe Apple and Facebook owe their success to their technology driven culture and CEOs who are obsessed with their product and deeply understand the importance of technology to realize great user experience. Mr. Schmidt was an excellent CEO and an experienced day-to-day manager, but reading and hearing his comments, he seemed to lack the gut instincts about current and future web technology that a visionary would have. I believe they (Larry, Sergey and probably Mr. Schmidt himself) decided they can no longer afford not to have someone at the top with the vision to lead the company in the right direction, seeing competition heating up on different fronts (with Facebook and Apple, for example), over the past year or two. It remains to be seen how well Larry will do as a leader, but I think it was the right move for Mr. Schmidt to step down.

Anyone have extra peony seeds
I can't afford to buy the plants and don't have any neighbors to propagate from, but I do have patience :-). Does anybody have any extra seeds - I would send postage. Thanks
Germination sucks unless the seeds are either planted immediately or stored moist in the fridge.
Germination is initiated by a long warm period (root forms) followed by a cold period (fridge) and can be brought out into the light and warmth when the first above ground growth emerges.
You can get them at 0.99 per 20 seeds on eBay, and their germination rate is supposed to be around 60%, and if you grow them correctly, you should have about that many of them germinate.
They key is that they need to be planted around 2 inches deep so that the pill bugs don't eat the seeds. It also prevents them from sprouting too early in the spring.
The best method that I've found after growing them for 3 years from seed is to put them directly into garden beds. If you plant them now, many of them should generate roots by around fall, and make sprouts for spring of the following year. If they don't sprout in 2013, some of them might take until 2014 as dormant seeds are a bit harder to germinate.

Walmart is about the only reason for open or concealed carry that I can get behind. -Randar
Can u get a nut on the back of this one? It looks pretty short.
That relief valve you linked is not going to work by just threading it into a nut. Picture a cup welded to the top of the lid. Drill a hole through the bottom of that cup and the lid. Now imagine the rim of that cup is threaded for the threaded part of what you linked. The tip of it covers the hole, the spring keeps it tightly sealed. Excessive pressure, or pulling on the ring, unseats the seal allowing pressure to release.
You can drill a hole and install one of these in your lid. http://www.brewbrothers.biz/Pressure-Relief-Valve-Assy
NOW that's what I'm looking for..
Here's another one from AHS if that's more convenient for you: http://www.austinhomebrew.com/produc...ducts_id=12537
And I wasn't implying the one I linked before as the only option, nor the best option. I'm sure it could be made to work with some additional parts, but why bother with the full valve asm!

Cancellara has won the time trial at the world road race cycling
championships three times, a record he shares with Australia's
Michael Rogers.
But while the Swiss is expected to battle Germany's Tony Martin
in Thursday's 45.6km race against the clock, he is also harbouring
thoughts of challenging for the coveted rainbow jersey in the men's
road race on Sunday.
Cancellara missed out on a road race medal last year, despite
being one of the main protagonists in the tense final lap of an
epic race in Mendrisio in his native Switzerland.
After Cancellara had run out of juice, Cadel Evans attacked in
the closing kilometres and went on to win Australia's first ever
world road race crown.
A year on, Cancellara still has regrets. But he believes he has
a chance to make amends -- if he races wisely, and strikes at the
right time.
"I don't know if Cadel was stronger than me, but I was the
strongest and Cadel was the smartest," Cancellara said on Monday as
he spoke about the 2009 race.
"I did all I could to stay at the front and attack, but that was
not smart of me. Now I am in a better situation.
"There are about 10 guys who can really win the race. But it is
not like last year where I was a big favourite.
"The Swiss team also does not have to bare the weight of the
race, we can wait for the Belgians or Italians (to take
"I can chose when I want to put the hammer down."
Before focusing on Sunday's road race, held over 262.7km
including 11 laps of a tough 15.9km circuit, Cancellara aims to
maintain his reputation by winning the men's time trial on
It is held on two laps of a 22.8km circuit, most of which will
be used in the road races. That means the climbs used in the road
race will feature, and the course is undulating for the rest of the
Martin has been Cancellara's closest rival this year, beating
the Swiss in a Tour of Switzerland time trial before coming
runner-up to him in the prologue and penultimate stage time trials
of the Tour de France.
Australian Richie Porte has also been touted as a challenger by
Cancellara, but with history-making on the agenda the Swiss seems a
determined man.
"I want to make history here. Coming after Mick Rogers, who won
the title three times, it would be great to do better than him,"
said Cancellara, who was crowned world champion in 2006, 2007 and
"Tony Martin is getting closer but I don't understand why he did
not finish the Tour of Britain because you have to have tough
competition before a time trial like this.
"It is not enough to be strong. Because of the two climbs on the
course, that you have to race twice, it's a very difficult race.
You have to have an tactical approach to the race, you have to even
your forces out."

RAMALLAH - Russia will join an international
investigation to determine whether the first Palestinian president, Yasser
Arafat, was murdered, the current Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, said on
Sunday.French and Swiss experts are due to exhume Arafat's body in
Ramallah later this month in an attempt to discover how he died after an Al
Jazeera documentary in July suggested he was killed by a rare radioactive
poison."There's full cooperation these days between us and the French
investigators and Swiss experts, and also from the Russian government," Abbas
told a rain-drenched ceremony on the eighth anniversary of the death in France
of the former guerrilla who led Palestinians' campaign to create a state through
years of war and peace.Abbas asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov for Moscow's help during talks in Jordan last week, Palestinian sources
said.Allegations of foul play have long surrounded the demise of
Arafat.Meanwhile on Sunday, Arafat's sister called on officials not to exhume his Ramallah grave, Palestinian news agency Maan reported.The case returned to the headlines in July when a Swiss institute
said it had discovered high levels of the radioactive element polonium-210 on
Arafat's clothing supplied by his widow Suha, who called for exhumation of her
husband's body.Polonium is the radioactive substance found to have
killed former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006.Three
French forensic experts are expected to visit Arafat's limestone sepulchre in
the West Bank capital of Ramallah on Nov. 20, and investigating magistrates plan
to visit four days later, a diplomatic source told Reuters.Headed by the
intelligence chief at the time of Arafat's death, the Palestinians' own forensic
team has repeatedly butted heads with French investigators over their
supervision of the exhumation, proposed for this month.Palestinian
official Wasel Abu Yousef described contacts with the French as ongoing but
insisted that interrogating any Palestinians must be done through Abbas's
administration, "as a matter of sovereignty," he told Reuters.Abbas also
on Monday accused Qatar-based Al Jazeera of "hyping" the affair.The
investigation is unfolding as West Bank leaders gear up for a UN General
Assembly vote on Palestinians becoming an "observer state" later this
month.Arafat's direct kin have rejected an exhumation."We say
openly that our leader, our founder was assassinated by Israel with poison. The
overwhelming majority of the Palestinian people is convinced of this," Nasser
al-Kidwa, Arafat's nephew and a senior official in Abbas's Fatah group, said on
Saturday."Some have spread about the repugnant idea that Arafat's tomb
should be opened up and desecrated. There is no justification for this: we know
the real truth," he said.Jpost.com staff contributed to this report.

MALCOLM MORLEY Another Way to Make an Image, Monotypesby Robert Storr
Monotypes are all about touch. Malcolm Morley has one. Several, actually. Blocks of color-saturated ink with currents of tone and texture brushed or wiped across them provide the brilliant, faceted ground for images of aircrafts, boats, and beaches that alternate between ecstatic play and impending or unfolding calamity. Bathers leap and dive, planes leap and dive, vessels ride the swells and shudder. As their technique dictates, most of the 19 works on view are one-shot images. Two woodblock prints and an etching in three separate states have been thrown in for good measure and for contrast, accenting the variety and verve of this good "Bad Painter's" work in all media. He's 80 but can still show his contemporaries and his juniors how to make pictures that snap, crackle, and pop. In these examples there may be trouble in paradise (AHOY! Cliff Westermann of the Death Ships!) but it's paradise all the same, and one comes away as refreshed as if one had made it to the water's edge. To paraphrase the great French rapper Chuck B. (THAT'S BAUDELAIRE)'s "Invitation to Voyage," Morley's differently but comparably hedonistic handmade postcards serve up a place where, "everything is vitality and delight / luxury, chaos and voluptuous."

Bone China Cups & Saucers
This is a very small sampling of some of my bone china cups & saucers. These are the ones that I don't use. The special ones that have been given to me and have some kind of meaning. I have many and the ones that I do use I have purchased myself at either garage sales of recycling stores etc. My house has many cabinets built in so I still have to find a better way of organizing them. I enjoy serving my guests tea and coffee in them. I also go looking for some finer tea pots as well.
I can give you a closer look at others if you are interested. Enjoy.
What a nice collection. I always drool over the ones with roses on them, but that blue and white one is a really nice pattern and shape too. The yellow one looks like it is trimmed in gold--very nice.
Bet you enjoy finding new ones to add to your collection. So nice that you have lots of storage space.
I first became interested in them when I visited my BIL's cousin. She had special display shelves on the walls in her kitchen and the cups and saucers looked so pretty on them.
I don't have much room, but I have started hanging some plates with roses on my wall. Have three plates and several saucers so far. Gives me something to hunt for when I hit the TS or YS's. Love it when I find one--get excited just like Christmas! Ha ha
Thanks for taking and posting the pics. I really enjoyed seeing them.


text: BBC ditches Top Gear presenter Clarkson after assault by TIME @FortuneMagazine March 25, 2015, 11:41 AM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This article is published in partnership with Time.com. The original version can be found here. By Megan Gibson @MeganJGibson After two weeks in limbo, the BBC have announced that they're officially dropping Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson. It quickly emerged that Clarkson struck the Top Gear producer, Oisin Tymon, after filming in a Yorkshire hotel and learning he wouldn't be served a hot steak meal — though the BBC didn't initially define "fracas." Following an internal investigation led by the director of BBC Scotland Ken MacQuarrie, the broadcaster found that producer "Oisin Tymon was subject to an unprovoked physical and verbal attack by Jeremy Clarkson. During the physical attack Oisin Tymon was struck, resulting in swelling and bleeding to his lip. The verbal abuse was sustained over a longer period, both at the time of the physical attack and subsequently." The report also stressed that Tymon "offered no retaliation" and was the victim "through no fault of his own." The BBC's director general Tony Hall announced on Wednesday that Clarkson's contract would not be renewed, "marking the end of his time as Top Gear presenter." (Clarkson's contract was due to end at the end of the month.) Hall also said that the organization had "not taken this decision lightly," but "a line has been crossed" and he could not "condone what has happened on this occasion." As rumors of Clarkson's firing began to swirl, so did rumors of his possible replacement though no one has officially been announced. It's also unclear what will happen to Clarkson's co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May, whose contracts were also up at the end of March, though Hall did indicate that the BBC would be attempting to renew Top Gear for the 2016 season. This isn't the first time that Clarkson has found himself at the center of a controversy and in 2014 the BBC gave the presenter a final warning after unused Top Gear footage, found by the Daily Mirror, appeared to show Clarkson use the N-word.

The series has a huge following, largely thanks to Clarkson's often offensive humor and disdain for political correctness. Shortly after he was suspended, an online petition clamoring for Clarkson's return toTop Gear cropped up and has more than a million signatures. Even political leaders spoke out in his defense: the U.K.'s prime minister, David Cameron, told the BBC in an on-air interview that Clarkson was a friend and "because he is such a talent and he amuses and entertains so many people, including my children, who'd be heartbroken if Top Gear was taken off air, I hope this can be sorted out, because it's a great programme and he's a great talent." He later told an interviewer that his daughter had even threatened to go on a hunger strike if Clarkson wasn't reinstated. In his remarks on Wednesday, Hall also noted Clarkson's popularity, adding, "Jeremy is a huge talent. He may be leaving the BBC but I am sure he will continue to entertain, challenge and amuse audiences for many years to come." Watch more business news from Fortune:

With a name like Friendly, this is a face that couldn't be anything but fun and warm. Friendly is an homage to the original letterforms of Morris Fuller Benton's adorable Announcement typeface.
As Neil worked, the more elaborate things got and the more his desire to slant the typeface increased. But, he says, "If it's not an italic, I prefer the letters to slant with an angle equivalent to the thickness of the vertical stroke." Indeed, the slanted version of Friendly is set at a subtle 3.6 degrees.
Stylistic alternates, swashes, titling, tons of contextual alternates, wordmarks, case support, and ordinals make it even more friendly and relevant for contemporary use.
