Dayton (/ˈdeɪtən/; local pronunciation: /ˈdeɪʔn/) is the sixth largest city in the state of Ohio and is the county seat of Montgomery County.[5] In the 2010 census, the population was 141,527; the Dayton metropolitan area had 841,502 residents, making it the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Ohio, after only the urban agglomerations of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, and the 63rd largest in the United States.[6] The Dayton-Springfield-Greenville Combined Statistical Area had a population of 1,080,044 in 2010 and is the 43rd largest in the United States.[7] Dayton is situated within the Miami Valley region of Ohio just north of the Cincinnati–Northern Kentucky metropolitan area.
Ohio's borders are within 500 miles (800 km) of roughly 60 percent of the country's population and manufacturing infrastructure, making the Dayton area a logistical centroid for manufacturers, suppliers, and shippers.[8][9] Dayton also plays host to significant research and development in fields like industrial, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering that have led to many technological innovations. Much of this innovation is due in part to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its place within the community. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Dayton's businesses have diversified into a service economy that includes insurance and legal sectors as well as healthcare and government sectors.
Other than defense and aerospace, healthcare accounts for much of the Dayton area's economy. Hospitals in the Greater Dayton area have an estimated combined employment of nearly 32,000, a yearly economic impact of $6.8 billion.[10] It is estimated that Premier Health Partners, a hospital network, contributes more than $2 billion a year to the region through operating, employment, and capital expenditures.[11] In 2011, Dayton was rated the No. 3 city in the nation out of the top 50 cities in the United States by HealthGrades for excellence in health care.[12][13] Many hospitals in the Dayton area are consistently ranked by Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, and HealthGrades for clinical excellence.
Dayton is also noted for its association with aviation; the city is home to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Orville Wright, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and entrepreneur John H. Patterson were born in Dayton. Dayton is also known for its many patents, inventions, and inventors that have come from the area,[14] most notable being the Wright brothers' invention of powered flight.[15] In 2008, 2009, and 2010, Site Selection magazine ranked Dayton the No. 1 mid-sized metropolitan area in the nation for economic development.[16][17][18] Also in 2010, Dayton was named one of the best places in the United States for college graduates to find a job.[19][20]
Dayton was founded on April 1, 1796, by a group of 12 settlers known as "The Thompson Party." They traveled in March from Cincinnati up the Great Miami River by pirogue and landed at what is now St. Clair Street, where they found two small camps of Native Americans. Among the settlers was Benjamin Van Cleve,[21] whose memoirs provide insights into the history of the Ohio Valley. Two other groups who were travelling overland arrived several days later.[22]
In 1797, Daniel C. Cooper laid out Mad River Road, the first overland connection between Cincinnati and Dayton, opening the "Mad River Country" to settlement. Ohio was admitted into the Union in 1803, and the city of Dayton was incorporated in 1805. The city was named after Jonathan Dayton, a captain in the American Revolutionary War who signed the U.S. Constitution and owned a significant amount of land in the area.[23] In 1827, construction on the Dayton-Cincinnati canal began, which would provide a better way to transport goods from Dayton to Cincinnati and contribute significantly to Dayton's economic growth during the 1800s.[23]
Historically, Dayton has been the home for many patents and inventions since the 1870s.[14][24] According to the National Park Service, citing information from the U.S. Patent Office, Dayton had granted more patents per capita than any other U.S. city in 1890 and ranked fifth in the nation as early as 1870.[25][26] The Wright brothers, inventors of the world's first airplane, and Charles F. Kettering, world-renowned for his numerous inventions, hailed from Dayton.[27] The city was also home to James Ritty's "Incorruptible Cashier", the first mechanical cash register, and Arthur E. Morgan's "hydraulic jump", a flood prevention mechanism that helped pioneer modern-day hydraulic engineering.[28][29] Paul Laurence Dunbar – a famous African-American poet and novelist – penned his most famous works in the late 19th century and became an integral part of the city's history.[30]
Innovation led to business growth in the region. In 1884, John Henry Patterson acquired James Ritty's National Manufacturing Company along with his cash register patents and formed the National Cash Register Company (NCR). The company manufactured the first mechanical cash registers and played a crucial role in the success and shaping of Dayton's reputation as an epicenter for manufacturing in the early 1900s. In 1906, Charles F. Kettering, a leading engineer at the company, helped develop the first electric cash register which propelled NCR into the national spotlight.[31] NCR also helped develop the US Navy bombe, a code-breaking machine that helped crack the Enigma machine cipher during World War II.[32]
A catastrophic flood occurred in March 1913, known as the Great Dayton Flood, which led to the establishment of the Miami Conservancy District, a series of dams and hydraulic jumps installed around Dayton, in 1914.[33] Like other cities across the country, Dayton was heavily involved in the war effort during World War II. Several locations around the city hosted the Dayton Project, a branch of the larger Manhattan Project, to develop polonium triggers which were used in early atomic bombs.[34] The war efforts led to a manufacturing boom throughout the city, including high demand for housing and other services. At one point, emergency housing was put into place due to a housing shortage in the region, much of which is still in use today.[35]
Between the 1940s and the 1970s, the city saw significant growth in suburban areas as a result of population migration. Veterans were returning from military service in large numbers seeking industrial and manufacturing jobs, a part of the local industry that was expanding rapidly. Advancements in architecture also contributed to the suburban boom. New, modernized shopping centers and the Interstate Highway System allowed workers to commute greater distances and families to live further away from the downtown area. More than 127,000 homes were built in Montgomery County alone during the 1950s.[36]
Since the 1980s, however, Dayton's population has been in decline, mainly due to the loss of manufacturing jobs and decentralization of metropolitan areas, as well as the national housing crisis that began in 2008.[37] While much of the state has suffered for similar reasons, the negative impact on Dayton has been greater than most. Dayton had the third-greatest percentage loss of population in the state since the 1980s, behind only Cleveland and Youngstown.[37] Despite this, Dayton has begun diversifying its workforce from manufacturing into other growing sectors of the local economy such as healthcare and education.[38] New expansion downtown began in the 2000s helping to revitalize the city and encourage growth. Fifth Third Field, home of the Dayton Dragons, was built in 2000. The highly successful minor league baseball team has been an integral part of Dayton's culture.[39] In 2001, the city's public park system, Five Rivers MetroParks, constructed an outdoor entertainment venue known as RiverScape MetroPark that attracts more than 400,000 visitors a year.[40] A new performance arts theater, the Schuster Center, opened in 2003.[41] A large health network in the region, Premier Health Partners, expanded its Miami Valley Hospital location with a 12-story tower addition.[42]
In 2010, the Downtown Dayton Partnership, in cooperation with the City of Dayton and community leaders, introduced the Greater Downtown Dayton Plan. It focuses on job creation and retention, infrastructure improvements, housing, recreation, and collaboration. The plan is to be implemented through the year 2020.[43]
The Dayton Agreement, a peace accord between the parties to the hostilities of the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the former Yugoslavia, was negotiated at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, near Fairborn, Ohio. Negotiations took place from November 1, 1995, to November 21, 1995.
Richard Holbrooke wrote about this event in his memoirs:
There was also a real Dayton out there, a charming Ohio city, famous as the birthplace of the Wright brothers. Its citizens energized us from the outset. Unlike the population of, say, New York City, Geneva or Washington, which would scarcely notice another conference, Daytonians were proud to be part of history. Large signs at the commercial airport hailed Dayton as the "temporary center of international peace". The local newspapers and television stations covered the story from every angle, drawing the people deeper into the proceedings. When we ventured into a restaurant or a shopping center downtown, people crowded around, saying that they were praying for us. Warren Christopher was given at least one standing ovation in a restaurant. Families on the air base placed "candles of peace" in their front windows, and people gathered in peace vigils outside the base. One day they formed a "peace chain", although it was not large enough to surround the sprawling eight-thousand-acre base. Ohio's famous ethnic diversity was on display.[44]
Dayton is known as the "Gem City." The origin of the nickname is uncertain, but several theories exist. In the early 19th century, a well-known racehorse named "Gem" hailed from Dayton. In 1845, an article published in the Cincinnati Daily Chronicle by an author known as "T" stated:
In a small bend of the Great Miami River, with canals on the east and south, it can be fairly said, without infringing on the rights of others, that Dayton is the gem of all our interior towns. It possesses wealth, refinement, enterprise, and a beautiful country, beautifully developed.[45]
In the late 1840s, Major William D. Bickham of the Dayton Journal initiated a campaign to officially nickname Dayton as the "Gem City". The name was eventually adopted by the city's Board of Trade several years later.[45] Paul Laurence Dunbar referred to the nickname in his poem, "Toast to Dayton", as noted in the following excerpt:
She shall ever claim our duty,
For she shines—the brightest gem
That has ever decked with beauty
Dear Ohio's diadem.[46]
Dayton also plays a role in a nickname given to the state of Ohio – "Birthplace of Aviation". Dayton is the hometown of the Wright brothers, aviation pioneers who are credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane. After their first manned flights in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which had been chosen due to its ideal weather and climate conditions, the Wrights returned to Dayton and continued testing at nearby Huffman Prairie.[47]
Additionally, Dayton is colloquially referred to as "Little Detroit."[48] This nickname comes from Dayton's prominence as a Midwestern manufacturing center.[49]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 56.50 square miles (146.33 km2), of which 55.65 square miles (144.13 km2) is land and 0.85 square miles (2.20 km2) is water.[1]
Dayton's climate features hot, muggy summers and cold, dry winters, and is either classified as a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa), using the −3 °C (26.6 °F) isotherm of the original Köppen scheme, or a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa), using the 0 °C (32 °F) isotherm preferred by some climatologists. Unless otherwise noted, all normal figures quoted within the text below are from the official climatology station, Dayton International Airport, which, at an elevation of 1,000 ft (304.8 m) about 10 mi (16 km) to the north of downtown Dayton, which lies within the valley of the Miami River, and thus temperatures there are typically cooler than in downtown.[50]
At the airport, monthly mean temperatures range from 27.5 °F (−2.5 °C) in January to 74.1 °F (23.4 °C) in July. The highest temperature ever recorded in Dayton was 108 °F (42 °C) on July 22, 1901, and the coldest was −28 °F (−33 °C) on February 13, 1899. On average, there are 14 days of 90 °F (32 °C)+ highs and 4.5 nights of sub-0 °F (−18 °C) lows annually. Snow is moderate, with a normal seasonal accumulation of 23.3 in (59 cm),[a] usually occurring from November to March, occasionally April, and rarely October. Precipitation averages 41.1 inches (1,040 mm) annually, with total rainfall peaking in May.
Dayton is subject to severe weather typical of the Midwestern United States. Tornadoes are possible from the spring to the fall. Floods, blizzards and severe thunderstorms can also occur from time to time.

U.S. Decennial Census[56] |
The population of Dayton had declined significantly from a peak of 262,332 residents in 1960 to only 141,527 in 2010. This was in part due to the slowdown of manufacturing in the region and the growth of Dayton's affluent suburbs including Oakwood, Englewood, Beavercreek, Springboro, Miamisburg, Kettering, and Centerville.[57][58] The city's most populous ethnic group, white, declined from 78.1% in 1960 to 51.7% by 2010.[59] However, recent census estimates show a 1.3% population increase since 2010,[3] the first increase in five decades.
As of the 2000 census, the median income for a household in the city was $27,523, and the median income for a family was $34,978. Males had a median income of $30,816 versus $24,937 for females. The per capita income for the city was $34,724. About 18.2% of families and 23.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 32.0% of those under age 18 and 15.3% of those age 65 or over.
As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 141,527 people, 58,404 households, and 31,064 families residing in the city. The population density was 2,543.2 inhabitants per square mile (981.9/km2). There were 74,065 housing units at an average density of 1,330.9 per square mile (513.9/km2). The racial makeup of the city was 51.7% White, 42.9% African American, 0.3% Native American, 0.9% Asian, 1.3% from other races, and 2.9% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.0% of the population.
There were 58,404 households of which 28.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 25.9% were married couples living together, 21.4% had a female householder with no husband present, 5.9% had a male householder with no wife present, and 46.8% were non-families. 38.8% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.26 and the average family size was 3.03.
The median age in the city was 34.4 years. 22.9% of residents were under the age of 18; 14.2% were between the ages of 18 and 24; 25.3% were from 25 to 44; 25.8% were from 45 to 64; and 11.8% were 65 years of age or older. The gender makeup of the city was 48.7% male and 51.3% female.
The 2013 census population estimate shows an increasing City of Dayton population for the first time in five decades attributed to revitalization efforts downtown and the increasing downtown population.[60]
Dayton's economy is relatively diversified and vital to the overall economy of the state of Ohio. In 2008 and 2009, Site Selection magazine ranked Dayton the No. 1 medium-sized metropolitan area in the U.S. for economic development.[16][17] Dayton is also among the top 100 metropolitan areas in both exports and export-related jobs, ranked 16 and 14 respectively by the Brookings Institution. The 2010 report placed the value of exports at $4.7 billion and the number of export-related jobs at 44,133.[61] The Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area ranks 4th in Ohio's Gross Domestic Product with a 2008 industry total of $33.78 billion.[62] Additionally, Dayton ranks third among 11 major metropolitan areas in Ohio for exports to foreign countries.[63] The Dayton Development Coalition is attempting to leverage the regions large water capacity, estimated to be 1.5 trillion gallons of renewable water aquifers, to attract new businesses.[64][65] Moody's Investment Services revised Dayton's bond rating from A1 to the stronger rating of Aa2 as part of its global recalibration process.

Pillai, S Krishna and Bhat, G S (1981) Note on the abundance of zooplankton and trawler catch during the postmonsoon months along the northwest coast of India. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of India, 23 (1&2). pp. 208-214.
| PDF 220Kb |
Zooplankton samples collected during the cruises of M.V. Matsya Vigyani from October to December 1977 from the northwest cost of India were utilised for the study of the faunal composition, variation in their abundance, distribution and their relationship with the fishery. Estimated zooplankton biomass in the area 20-71 followed by 20-70 and this was due to a higher density of Salps spp. where they out numbered the copepods. Copepods were dominant in the areas 18-72 (98%), 17-72 (87.5%), 19-71 (80.7%) and 17.72 (55.6/0. Evadne sp. (39%) was next to copepods in the samples collected in the area 17-72 south of Bombay The percentage composition of various groups of zooplankton in different areas is given. The fish catch/hour was maximum in the area 19-71 (366.7 kg/b) followed by the area 18-72 (354.8 kg/h) in October which was the most productive month for the zooplankters.

May is Older American's Month. The theme for this year's event, sponsored by the Administration on Aging (AOA), is "Never Too Old to Play". You can download a free copy of AOA's "Never Too Old to Play Activity Guide" that includes activities for commemorating the month. You can combine direction from the guide with many of the activities that are a part of NFPA's Remembering When™: A Fire and Fall Prevention Program for Older Adults. The "Never Too Old to Play" guide recommends physical activity, including Tai Chi and other exercise, to build strength and balance. Through the Remembering When program, we recommend the same kind of exercise as the number one message for preventing fall prevention: "Exercise regularly to build strength and balance".
The "Never Too Old to Play Guide" also recommends brain exercises for fun and recommends holding a trivia competition. We know from our user feedback that one of the most popular activities in the Remembering When program is the trivia game that couples questions on famous people, places, music, television shows and movies with questions on fire and fall prevention. You could go a step further and work with a local radio station to have people call in to answer the various Remembering When trivia questions.
We supply Remembering When PowerPoint presentations, as well as Remembering When materials in multiple languages on NFPA's website Remembering When pages.
You can also use information on how to conduct a fire department open house for older adults from NFPA's Fire Prevention Week materials. The open house plan includes ideas for various learning stations and downloadable safety posters.
AOA's "Never Too Old to Play" guide also offers many intergenerational activities. NFPA's www.Sparky.org offers many activities and games that grandparents can do with their grandchildren.
Larry Gray, Public Information Officer for the Cleveland Fire Department, has given close to 200 presentations on Remembering When to groups in the city of Cleveland and says that the reason older adults enjoy the program so much is because they like the trip down memory lane and they love the interaction with the trivia game and all the props and handouts.
If you use any of these activities or ideas during Older Americans Month, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com so I can share your successes and ideas with others.

Check Out How To Help Create One Of This Season's Hawaii Five-0 Episodes
By Jessica Rawden 2 years ago comments
Have you ever watched an episode of a procedural and felt as if that episode could use a little improvement? Hawaii Five-0 is currently looking for avid watchers who are wanting to get involved with the storytelling process. Over the weekend, CBS announced that the network will go interactive during a full hour of its Hawaii-based drama this season. The network is calling the stunt the Fan Built Five-0.
Heres how the user-produced episode will work. Starting right now, fans can head over to CBS site. The first step to creating a fan-produced episode involves voting in the first of four phases. Currently on the site, you can vote for where you would like the scene of the crime to be set, who the victim is, what the murder weapon is, and more. Later, Phase 2 will involve voting on props and the wardrobes, Phase 3 will involve voting on the music in the episode, and Phase 4 will involve voting on the episode's title. The voting window for Phase 2 will run from January 10-17, Phase 3 will run from February 14-21, and Phase 4 will open on March 7 and will remain that way through the 14. All of the voting could make for a hectic, Mad Libs sort of episode, but it could also be really interesting to see how that sort of formatting pans out. According to Deadline, after Phase 1 ends its run on the website, the writers will then take the voters results and assemble them into a script for the episode. Production on the special Fan Built episode is set to begin in February, which is why the voting on wardrobe changes and props will begin in January. As the final details begin to come together for the interactive episode, the other two phases of the voting will open to allow fans to have their say. This isnt the first time that Hawaii Five-0 has attempted an interactive stunt like this. Last season, the show aired another special episode during which viewers were able to vote for one of three suspects who may have committed the weekly crime. The choose your own ending format was a cool way to get people talking about the series, but the Fan Built episode could have an impact on a much wider scale. Im sort of torn about the Fan Built episode. On the one hand, I can see how CBS thinks the marketing stunt is a viable option for a procedural like Hawaii Five-0. Additionally, I can see how it would be fun for fans to really get involved in a show they love. On the other hand, it could prove to be a nightmare for the writers who are paid to bring the best storylines possible to the table. Its sort of gimmicky to ask them to take a Mad Libs format and turn it into a watchable hour of television. Hopefully, they will just see the format as a fun challenge rather than a hindrance. Either way, well find out how the episode turns out later this season. In the meantime, you can catch CBS Hawaii Five-0 in a new timeslot on Friday nights at 9 p.m. ET. Back to top

TIL in 1848 an iron rod exploded through the skull of a railroad foreman and landed 80 feet away. He was speaking and walking minutes later. The doctor didn't believe him until a "teacupful of the brain" fell on the floor. He died 12 years later, after having portraits made of him holding the rod (en.wikipedia.org)

Torres Sango de Toro 750ML RRES SANGO DE Sku: 11378
Tasting Notes The Torres Sangre de Toro is zesty with red currant flavors; easy yet tart on the palate. Deep ruby colour with a hint of ochre. Rich complex Mediterranean aromas with exuberant notes of spices and blackberries. Velvety tannins are noted on the palate with elegant flavours of licorice and small dark forest fruits.
Winery In the year 1954 my father, Miguel Torres, was already seeking out the most prized red grapes of the region, Garnacha and Carinena, to create a different wine that would express the authentic character of the land. This led to the birth of "Sangre de Toro", whose name is inspired by Baccus, Roman god of wine, known in ancient times as "Son of the Bull."

Sixth in Sixes was a fantastic release by a band coming into its own, the type of release that makes you salivate in anticipation of a follow-up. It seems that the time for said follow-up has finally arrived, in the form of Wars, a 27-minute, 12-track blast from Xbxrx that attempts to continue to develop the band's sound. Such attempts go for all but naught, however, as Wars squanders all of the good vibes that Sixth in Sixes worked so hard to develop with vocals that sound more whiny than aggressive. Sure, Xbxrx's members can still play their instruments, and they play the hell out of them. Yet, for all the tightness and skill of the instrumentalists, things just tend to get repetitive, as none of the variety, none of the extra layers that marked the previous effort can be found here; this is riff, time change, riff, time change, three-second drum solo, time change, riffriffriffriffriff, end. Some tracks are longer than others, but all that means is that there's time for a few extra time changes and riffs. And then there are the vocals… I didn't realize how much I missed the screaming until fourth track "Here to Ruin the Party" was introduced with the album's only instance of shredded larynx. After that sort of catharsis, the yelling that mars the rest of the album sounds trite at best. It'd be awfully short-sighted to say that Wars cancels Xbxrx's chances of putting out the ultimate math-core masterpiece, but it's certainly a step in the wrong direction.

If you've been searching for a cross-platform means of communication using voice messages, text and images that works on both internal wifi and cellular networks, then Voxer is the app for you. Voxer is designed to be a push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkie replacement that works on both local and global networks.
Using the Internet and local Wi-Fi connectability, Voxer removes the restraints associated with radio frequencies while also operating as a standalone cross-platform messaging service that gives WhatsApp a run for its money. You can send voice, text and picture messages between iOS or Android devices – for free!
The age-old concept of a walkie-talkie that depends on a maximum operating range (the more you pay, the bigger the range) is still valid in many situations. If you're taking a trip to the mountains or an area of exceptionally bad mobile signal, walkie-talkies and spare batteries will serve you well and smartphones probably won't. To put it frankly, Voxer is not a direct replacement for dedicated units that use radio frequency and various bands. Don't get caught out cold in the wilderness!
That said, in many situations the app can serve this purpose. Voxer can also serve a more useful purpose, allowing communication between both iPhone and Android contacts using free voice, picture and text messages, much like WhatsApp but without the $0.99 price tag. The app even works in the same way, with users able to identify each other using their real phone number (though the number won't be publicly visible).
After downloading and launching Voxer for the very first time, you will be prompted to register. All you'll need to surrender is your name, a valid email and a password before the app lets you start talking to people. On the iPhone version I tested, the app requests access to your contacts (naturally), notifications and location. I set up two iPhones on the same network, with minimal profile information, and without any work on my part both devices could see each other straight away.
Voxer allows you to fill out your profile with city and country information and a custom profile picture, but none of that is necessary if all you want to do is chat. You can also look up users by name or email address, just tap the new conversation button in the top-right and search using the search box. It can be tricky finding people by name and picture only, though it's nice to have access to the full Voxer database.
Chatting, Over
With iMessage, WhatsApp, Skype, and good old SMS, communication is something we definitely take for granted these days. Siri and Android speech-to-text features are nice for composing text messages, but none of these services allow you to send audio snippets. That's where Voxer comes in.
At the bottom of the chat window is the push-to-talk button – tap and hold it, wait for the signature walkie-talkie beep to finish and begin speaking. Before you've let go of the PTT button the person you are speaking to will begin to hear your message, and in true two-way style only one person can technically "talk" at a time. Of course, this isn't a problem because Voxer lets you replay any audio message sent in case you miss something.
To hear a message again tap the "play" button next to it, and Voxer will run through the whole conversation, message by message. This is a particularly nice feature, bolstered by the fact that each message displays the duration and a location pointer, for seeing where the message was sent from. The ability to send an "I'll wait for you here" message without having to describe where you are is a pretty nifty feature I can actually see myself using.
In addition to voice, there are two extra buttons at the bottom of the screen for photos and text, both are nice features that I definitely take for granted since iMessage arrived with iOS 5. Tap the chat settings button in the top-right corner while viewing a chat to change personal and chat preferences. You can add more participants to the chat along the top of the screen, mute speakerphone, clear message history and block contacts if you need to. There's also one more feature that I really wish Apple would implement, and that's the ability to mute push notifications on a per-chat basis, so if you're part of a loud group chat you can check in when you need to as opposed to being inundated with notifications all the time.
Finally there's one last little feature that might just pique your interest if you're not already rushing to the App Store, and that's the Note to Self feature. From the main chat list, tap the Settings cog in the top-left, choose Account followed by Profile and then Note to Self. This places a chat titled Note to Self on the main chat list which serves as a dictaphone, allowing you to quickly add voice notes.
Download: Voxer for iPhone @ App Store
Download: Voxer for Android @ Google Play
Final Thoughts
Aside from a few feature requests I can't find much to fault about Voxer, it's both genuinely useful and fun to play with. The ability to set up a public Voxer voicemail and host it online would definitely be a feature I'd love to see, and an easier way to connect with all Voxers in your area would be great too.
If you're young at heart and always wanted walkie-talkies for Christmas then you've just found your new favorite app. If you're working in an office, on a building site or somewhere else where quick voice messages are useful then it might be one of the best apps you can download. If you're in an area where mobile reception drops calls, but you can still send an email then Voxer might also appeal to you too. And if you've not yet fallen for WhatsApp messenger and want a different, entirely free way to communicate cross-platform you can do a lot worse than Voxer. That's why it's on our Best Of iPhone Apps page, where it should be!
Have you used Voxer? What did you think? Any features you'd love to see? Have your say in the comments below this post.

Popeye is not your typical superhero: He is old. He is bald. He is short. He only has one eye. He constantly smokes his corncob pipe. He does not have teeth. He has tattooed, bulging forearms. He is illiterate and unrefined. Yet, these oddly unique qualities have helped this simple straight-talking, hard-hitting sailor win the hearts of many generations around the world. Popeye was a true hero of his time. By the mid-1930s, he surpassed even Disney's Mickey Mouse in popularity. With his charming "I Yam What I Yam" philosophy, the one-eyed sailor proudly expressed his genuineness, integrity, and take-charge personality, which made him stand out during the Depression era. Even though he can be seen as an American hero from the past, Popeye does not necessarily need this kind of national and historical contextualization. In other words, Segar's pipe-tooting sailorman is "timeless" and "universal." His human qualities are as much to be strived for in our world of corporate globalization, media manipulations, and wars against and of terrorism, as they were during the Great Depression. Even though he is a murderer of the modern English tongue, Popeye speaks, without any problems, the transnational language of selfless bravery, relentless belief in oneself, and uncompromising adherence to one's own set of moral/ethic codes. For over 75 years now, Popeye has been breaking national and cultural boundaries, serving as a site of identification for kids and adults around the world. True, Popeye is long past his heyday. But that is due more to the corporate politics than to the passage of time or lack of public interest. There remains to be something timelessly charming about this simple, spinach-eating, pipe-smoking, unsightly underdog, who proudly remains "what he is," who takes no guff from anyone, and who is always ready to fight Bluto, that quintessential embodiment of bully-ness, to protect the girl he loves. I think that it is as easy today as it was in the 1930s to love the self-righteous, yet delightfully humble underdog who fights back "when that's all he can stands, 'cause he can't stands no more." How many of us wish we could just eat our spinach, fight back and teach all the annoying bullies in our lives a valuable lesson? In reality, that's not always possible. That's why Popeye has been doing it for all of us for three quarters of a century now. Excerpt from Gordan Calma's article "Popeye Turns 75' at fleischerpopeye.com HERE |

Comments: |
This is Volume 2 with the first, larger, collection (from 1933-1938) reviewed HERE by Gregg Ferencz. It came out in July of 2007 and fans were very appreciative of the completeness of the package.
This is somewhat smaller - only 2 disc instead of 4 and spans
The 31 shorts in this set are presented chronologically on two dual layered discs.
There are 15 cartoons on the first disc, 16 on the second with the
supplements (commentaries especially) weighted to the first
disc. The discs are coded for regions 1 thru 4 in the NTSC standard.
There are a lot of extras including eleven commentaries on the
first and three on the second. These impart a heck of a lot of
information and you can really appreciate the, almost, cultish following
this spinach-eating sailor has and how historically revered this work
remains. As with the first set there are "Popumentaries" -
features with animators, historians profiling specific cartoons from
Vol. 2 focusing on characters, creators and plots. Disc one has a 45
minute documentary - Out of the Inkwell - The Fleischer Story
which highlights the creator and his work detailing the sailor's
adventurous exploits. There is input from many including vintage
excerpts (although they are interlaced). Disc 2 has Men of Spinach
and Steel which runs just over 6 minutes and discusses the comic
book heroes put to live animation throughout the years. Disc two has a 'From
the Vault' section with bonus Fleischer cartoons, vintage audio
recordings and radio shows plus an, audio only, vintage interview with
Jack Mercer (the voice of Popeye). None of the bonus material is
subtitled. |

Parts Geek got my parts to me faster than I expected and at a good price with free shipping.
excellent part and price
Right part, fast shipping. Glad I didn't have to return the parts, because after reading the policy, not very consumer friendly.
All worked well at a great savings (40%) over my local napa shop.
Will use again, but with return policy cautiously in mind.

Excellent price for kyb's top monotube shock! The ride on my truck no longer bounces around, just a steady, strong feeling beneath me. Thanks for the quick shipment as well!

Our template builder has been crazy popular since we announced it back in October last year. Since then you guys have crafted more than 100,000 custom templates and sent them to more than 150 million people. Today we've rolled out a few highly requested tweaks to give you a little more flexibility with your designs.
While we make it easy to customize almost every part of your design and content, there were still a few English-only items that you couldn't tweak. Things like the wording for unsubscribing, sharing the email on Twitter or Facebook, and updating your preferences. This meant a lot of you had to export the template, make these changes locally and then import the template again. That's not fun.
That all changed today. If you're sending campaigns in a language other than English, you can now choose the language you'd like to use in a new drop down on the "Basics" pane.
This will instantly translate all of these non-English terms into the language of your choice. Of course, the change is also reflected in the mobile optimized version of your template that we build for you automatically. The instant mobile preview is still a favourite feature of mine.
On top of these extra languages, we've also added the much requested ability to make your header a link. Whether your header is a custom image you imported yourself or plain text, you'll find a new option under the "Header" pane that lets you set the URL.
We automatically make this link and image/text editable in the editor, in case you'd like to keep it unique for each campaign you send while still re-using a single template.
Excellent, I can't wait to try it. Merci beaucoup ;-)
Abattoir - that's French for "goodbye".
I'd like to see what someone with crazy skills could do with this template builder.
Maybe you could consider adding a 'template built' section to your email gallery?
Can you add either a stock or editable ALT tag to the header image so that it plays nice with mail readers when not loading the images? For example Thunderbird?
Hey there Fernand, you can add ALT text to this editable header image in the email editor. Simply click the 'Edit' button and you'll be given the option to change the image, link and ALT. Hope that helps!
It's missing my native language. How can I contribute?
Great addition, looking forward to trying it out
:D I love the top graphic
sześć - means "six"
cześć - means "hello"
I know Polish is hard. Thanks for a morning laugh! ;)
And there I was hesitating to mention it to my French clients !
Merci !
in the Greek translation "TABLE OF CONTENTS" is not translated.
The word is "ΠΕΡΙΕΧΟΜΕΝΑ"
Please add it.
Thank you,
Hey there Dimitris, many thanks for the suggestion. You can customize this text in the email editor - here's an example.
We'll keep this in mind for a future update, but for the time being, it's very easy to change when editing a template. :)

Women's Basketball Edged by Pitt-Greensburg in AMCC Semifinals
No. 1 Penn State Behrend (21-5) defeated No. 4 Pitt-Bradford (11-16) 63-41 in Friday's other semifinal and will face UPG (22-5) in the championship game Saturday at 1:00 pm. The game is a rematch of last year's title tilt which UPG won 65-51 in overtime.
Frostburg State (16-11) overcame a pair of large deficits in the second half and took a 62-61 lead with 1:42 to play on a jumper by sophomore Kelly True (Warfordsburg, Pa./Southern Fulton).
Senior Annie Sral then made a layup to put UPG back in front 63-62 with 1:27 left before junior Jamie Cable (Brunswick, Md./Brunswick) answered with a layup just 12 seconds later to give FSU its final lead of the day.
Sral then fed Smith for her go-ahead three-pointer, and FSU missed two shots before fouling senior Torey Auld to stop the clock with nine seconds left. Auld missed the front end of the one-and-one and junior Tracey Little (La Vale, Md./Allegany) hauled in the rebound to give FSU a final chance.
However, FSU never got a shot away, committing the last of its 28 turnovers with two seconds left to give UPG the win.
UPG led by as many as 12, 41-29, with 15:27 to play, but FSU stormed back to tie the game with a 12-0 run. Junior Charlena Reeves (Oakland, Md./Southern Garrett) started the rally with a layup, True hit a jumper and Little drained back-to-back three-pointers.
Freshman Tracie George (Windber, Pa./Windber) capped the comeback with a layup off a feed from Little.
UPG followed with an 11-2 run to take a 52-43 advantage with 9:39 left, but FSU rallied again with an 11-0 outburst.
Reeves hit a free throw, Cable made a layup and True drained a three-pointer to bring FSU to within three, and Cable hit another shot before sinking a three-pointer to put FSU in front 54-52 at the 5:36 mark.
UPG answered yet again, scoring the next seven points to take a 59-54 advantage, but Cable and Little hit consecutive jumpers to bring FSU back to within one.
Sophomore Jess Phillippi gave UPG a 61-58 lead on a short jumper with 2:49 remaining before Cable drained a pair of free throws to make it a 61-60 contest with 2:15 left.
FSU had three players post double-doubles. Little led the way with 24 points and 18 rebounds, including 17 on the defensive end, while Cable had 17 points and 11 rebounds. True added 11 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks.
Sral paced UPG with 17 points, while Tish Hines and Smith finished with 13 points each. Hines also grabbed 16 rebounds.
