England Saxons 37-6 Canada, Churchill Cup Final, June 18
Lancaster heaps praise on Stevens

England Saxons head coach Stuart Lancaster has hailed the impact of prop Matt Stevens on his team's successful Churchill Cup campaign.
Stevens looks set to continue his impressive comeback from a two-year drugs ban by clinching a place in England's senior World Cup training squad on Monday. And Lancaster highlighted the Saracens prop's contribution after the Saxons secured silverware with a 37-6 victory over Canada at Worcester.
"From my point of view, Matt has been outstanding," said Lancaster. "He has come in, added an experienced voice and played three lots of 80 minutes on the bounce in this tournament. He has been great off the field, and on the field he has delivered for me and the other coaches. It's a tick for me in the box."
Stevens, who returned to action in January this year and has yet to feature on a losing side at club or representative level, added: "Week on week, we have improved as a group of players. I think there are definitely a lot of (Saxons) players who have put their hands up for selection in the future.
"What I've said to myself throughout this whole tournament has been about performance, and I am happy with the way I have performed. There is a lot of room for improvement, I know that, but I am happy with the way things are going. Saracens has been the best choice of club I could have made.
"Obviously, I am going to say that - we've just won a Premiership final - but there is a reason why teams win finals, and that's culture. We are trying to create that culture at Saracens. We are not there yet, but we are definitely on the right road."
After posting 128 points in their opening two games against the United States and Tonga, England's second string were expected to enjoy another try spree. And the Saxons never seriously found themselves threatened by a spirited - if limited - Canadian outfit.
Flanker James Gaskell and wing Miles Benjamin set England on their way with early tries as they claimed a sixth and last Churchill Cup triumph during its nine-season existence. With Canada and the United States now included in the International Rugby Board's tournaments and tour schedule, it means they will play home Tests during June against top Test nations from next summer.
The decision to end a Churchill Cup agreement that began with the inaugural competition in 2003 was taken jointly by the Rugby Football Union, USA Rugby and Rugby Canada, in consultation with the IRB. The Saxons, 15-6 ahead at half-time, then pulled away after the break through Benjamin's second try and scores from his fellow wing Charlie Sharples and substitute lock Jamie Gibson, while Rory Clegg kicked 12 points.
Lancaster said: "It is objective achieved, and alongside that to give some lads an opportunity for further development and try to push some forward - short-term for the World Cup training squad, but also the long-term. We need to continue to create development opportunities for players to play for England.
"We need to bridge the gap between Premiership rugby and international rugby and also give players an opportunity to come out of their club sides and work with different coaches and different players."

Wayback since my stay as a banker in PBB Mandaluyong branch, my manager used to bought these putos aa branch as our meryenda! Kaya talagang kahit ngayong self employed na ako, still availing these putosat dumadayo pa ng marikina for these putos! I highly recommend these putos as Marikina's finest..

If you're the type who always want to munch on something, may it either be your breakfast starter, your dessert for lunch, your snacks while in the office or your pre-dinner food while you're still on the road, Rochas' famous and well-loved delicacies may be able to satisfy your cravings.
Their extra tasty and delicious rice cakes (puto) can really be addicting most especially when they're freshly cooked. Its orangey brown color with the thick cheese strip on top is really pleasing to the eye most especially when you see them in the bilao, mini, round rice cakes that can be served specially for gatherings and get-togethers.
Their popular purple kakanin with latik on top is definitely one of my most loved! The kakanin that's really sticky and firm, with it's balanced sweet taste is so addicting for me most especially when there's so much latik on top! This can be best paired with hot coffee on the side.
Both delicacies come with niyog on the side, making it yummier, making me happier!

One of the best puto I've tried. It's so soft and fluffy! I love that chunk of cheese on top too. Best to eat it on the day it was purchased.
I wish they'd have other stores in the metro so we don't need to travel all the way to Marikina to get a box of this delicious treat.

This worth you pay and munch your groiling stomach. I love the cheese on top and the soft taste of kutsinta. This kind of delicacies of our own should be patronized.. I even let my relatives bring boxes back to U.S :)

Catio spaces In the news!
"Lucky" doesn't begin to describe old Max the cat. With a loving owner, all the treats he can eat and a closet full of cat toys, Max lives a life any of us would envy.
"He's a cat of leisure," said his owner Kris Tsujikawa. "I think he sleeps most of the day." But a life of leisure can turn rather tedious. So when Max needs a break from all of his napping, he retires to his patio, or more specifically his "catio." A catio is a custom made outdoor hangout for cats made by Seattle's CatioSpaces.com.

South Sound magazine
Cats are naturally curious and if you could translate their "meows" they would probably tell you they want to be outside exploring. However, for many cats, it's just not safe to be outside. Unless of course, they are safely enclosed in their own custom catio…. Cynthia Chomos is the founder and designer of Catio Spaces (safe, outdoor enclosures for cats.) Her latest "Catnap Catio" was created for a rescued Tabby cat. It features a 6-foot daybed with pillows and blankets, a spiral staircase leading to an upper catwalk shelf, cat-safe plants and more. It also doubles as Chomos' garden retreat. (Is it wrong to be jealous of cats?) (read more)

Bathroom remodel? Check. Kitchen expansion? Check. But have you added a catio outdoor space for your favorite feline friend? Seattle designer and licensed general contractor Cynthia Chomos creates plans for cat patios — safe outdoor pet enclosures — that range from window perch boxes to full-on outdoor rooms. The three-sided designs attach to, and complement, your house, and can include elements such as cedar shelves, a catwalk, branches, a human-size door or a polycarbonate sunroof. Sizes range from 3-feet-by-6-feet to 8-feet-by-10-feet.

#18 Because we found a way to make outdoor cat pens that aren't hideous
Curiosity may not always kill the cat, but it sure makes a cat owner—not to mention the local songbird population—anxious. Cynthia Chomos of Ballard wanted to give her tabby, Serena, a stimulating outdoor experience without worrying that she would wander off or be injured. A year ago, the feng shui consultant, general contractor and animal lover turned that motivation into Catio Spaces (catiospaces.com), outdoor enclosures in which cats can securely experience their environment. If tacking a giant cat cage to the side of your house just doesn't sound appealing, fear not. (read more)

Even domesticated animals need to get some fresh air, but cat owners find themselves confronting a dilemma: No self-respecting cat will submit to going for a walk on a leash, but when allowed to roam free, they're likely to get in a fight, pick up fleas or ticks, or bring back the lovely gift of a half-dead rodent.So that's why "catios" are catching on across the nation….Catios "don't need to look like a cage attached to the house," says Cynthia Chomos of CatioSpaces.com http://catiospaces.com/, who's built over… (read more)

Cynthia Chomos is a Feng Shui and color consultant. She specializes in designing spaces. It just happens that most of her is designing outdoor spaces for cats, and with the onset of summer this is her busy season. When I told someone I was doing an interview about cat patios, or catios, she was surprised to learn they are "a thing." The more you learn about them the more sense it makes. Especially if you want to be approved to adopt a cat by many shelters, and then want to increase the chance of the feline's survival. As Chomos says, "A cat's primal urge is to be outdoors." Hence her company, Catio Spaces, which creates "safe outdoor enclosures" to give the "indoor" cat access to the outdoors, but without the ability to kill birds or dig in the neighbor's lettuce starts.

Anyone interested in feline enrichment knows how much cats love the outdoors. They also know how risky it is for cats to be free-roaming — they can be hit by cars, trapped in garages and just plain lost. Then there are the birds they kill (although windows also do major damage to bird populations). Some of the world's most forward-thinking cat owners have devised a solution: the catio. (read more)

However, cats pose considerable risks to themselves and other animals when allowed to roam freely…(read more)
For those of us with indoor cats, sometimes we can feel bad for our sweet kitties when we see them staring longingly out the window. We keep them indoors because we know this is the safest decision, and the thought of anything happening to them keeps us from letting them go explore. But what if there was a way for us to have peace of mind but our cats still get to enjoy the outdoors? Yep, that's right, we're talking about catios! (read more)

Its time for a status update on whats what.
the Cherokee is kinda finished but looks in pieces.
i need to install the new servo winch controller when it arrives as the small 10A ESC went up in smoke after I installed the Locked up RC spool and line
The servo is sitting on a bracket ,so the spool is raised out of the way of the panhard. I also went with some new winch line
i fiddled around with the panhard some more and i think i have the desired rod length and angle , i might change it to a solid rod instead of the threaded rod one.
There is also Mojca's SCX10 for the new season , which she built herself. a detailed writeup on it will follow when its completed, it should be very capable.
There is also my new project , the FJ40 Ascender . Not much done to it yet, but I really enjoyed building the kit itself .
it might have a few shortcomings , but look at that steering angle out of the box !

"When it's on your mind, it's on eBay," conveys the ease of shopping on eBay and debuted this Fall with TV spots, an App, an extensive Print and OOH campaign that continues to roll out through the holidays and an upcoming experiential experience.
The eBay campaign marks an evolution of The Mill's traditional VFX work with Venables Bell that has included Audi's 'Release the Hound', a popular Super Bowl spot this year out of The Mill, and Barclays 'Fake,' a recent Clio-winning effort out of The Mill. "The trust we built up with Venables Bell gave us a great opportunity to pitch the design and print work for eBay against some very established players," says Stephen Venning, Executive Producer of The Mill's Design and Creative Direction division. "In truth, winning these aspects of the project made us very mindful we had to deliver our best work to repay their faith in us!"
The agency asked The Mill to collaborate for content across several platforms, including the extensive Print and OOH images now appearing on billboards, bus shelters and building walls all across California. The print was photographed by The Mill's Andrew Proctor and Robert Sethi, with live-action elements shot by Tom O'Neill. "Perhaps the highlight of our involvement in the eBay campaign was realizing the CGI billboard requirements," Venning offers. "With deadlines being tight we ran The Mill round-the-clock, having a team in L.A. shooting the print and doing the CGI, a NY EP on the print and live-action production, and an expert team in London led by The Mill's Print specialist Ross Urien leading all the retouching and compositing. The fantastic results drew on The Mill's creative synergy across the group 24/7."
The Mill also designed and produced the popular TV campaign's end-frame mnemonics. The mnemonics-contemporary carousel graphic stings that rotate different products to ultimately reveal the eBay logo-perfectly punctuate spots such as 'Mom Jeans'. Featured in a well-received comedic campaign directed by Matt Aselton, 'Mom Jeans' depicts a daughter narrowly escaping her mother's offer to borrow a pair of baggy high-waisted "Mom" jeans, by using her tablet to make a quick purchase of skinny jeans on eBay.
Venning explains, "There is a practical advantage when one shop works on all aspects of the campaign because we can repurpose thematic assets and make sure the campaign is truly integrated through design and thought process. It sounds obvious, but having the ability to help the agency connect those creative elements may have been missed with varied suppliers and ultimately allowed eBay, Venables Bell and The Mill the chance to make a more memorable and successful integrated campaign.
"We're proud to say that eBay was our biggest VFX Print campaign to date and it really has opened up our eyes to the creative potential of Print, whether static or digital. We're excited about our blossoming Design capabilities and undertaking more opportunities to create title and end graphics for integrated campaigns very soon!" Venning says.

A FluentStream Review from One Very Satisfied Customer
Likely Extremely
Pros: FluentStream Technologies has proven to be a net positive for our business. Numerous features that are available at reasonable cost are but one of the positives about this company. The very user-friendly web interface is also a great and valuable tool.
We have found this provider and their product to be highly reliable and their staff to be ever courteous, professional, and consistently responsive to our inquiries and needs. At those very infrequent times when technology evidences a hiccup, the service personnel are right there and stay with you until any issue is resolved. Their caring is palpable.
Fluent Stream has greatly exceeded our expectations for customer service. Six years onboard with them attests to our ongoing great satisfaction.
Cons: There really isn't anything negative that I can say about this product.
Overall: FluentStream Technologies provides us with an awesome product and company management that evidences a true caring response to their clientin business, as elsewhere, it doesn't' get any better than this.
Likely Extremely
Pros: We are a call center doing outbound B2B marketing. We use this software so that we can record the agents calls. There are a couple of things I like....I like how easy it is to listen to and save call recordings. I also like that I can filter based on what I am looking for such as by caller name, phone number, extensions, and by date. I also like that we were able to sync everything together with this and our CRM.
Cons: There are many things I do not care for with this software. Quite often it does not work properly and the calls are garbled and can't be understood. Also that the recordings are only there for a week I think it is. We save all of our appointment recordings anyway but if an issue comes up with a call that was further out than a week, it isn't there anymore.
Couldn't ask for better customer service!
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love the user friendly platform, very "dummy proof" for those of us that aren't as technologically inclined. I also the love the Fluentcloud mobile app that allows me to access my extension while I am out of the office.
Cons: I would not say there is anything I don't like, in most cases it is my lack of knowledge on how to navigate the software.However anytime I contact the customer service team they are ready and willing to walk me through these processes through instruction and education.
Overall: Any issue I may have, or need assistance with customer service agents are friendly, helpful and hands on. At first I was skeptical suing a phone company that is not located in my back yard, however remote access is a wonder and gets the issues taken care of, almost immediately. The technology is advanced but easy to use, couldn't ask for more.
High quality VOIP phone service, very helpful customer service; so-so portable service.
Likely Extremely
Pros: I am impressed with the quality of phone service (clarity, very few dropped calls). When using a VOIP service, this is my top priority. I also regularly make international calls, and the rates are very competitive. The ability to take my number with me and make calls on the go from my computer is helpful - but see cons.
Cons: Using my computer as my phone (with a cell phone headset), the reception, particularly by the other party of my voice) is spotty and deteriorates over the span of a call, particularly a longer one. The integration with GSuite, including the use of the address book, leaves too much to be desired. The user interface is not intuitive and deserves an upgrade.
Overall: High quality VOIP service, ability to make and receive calls when away from my office.
FluentStream Technology
Likely Extremely
Pros: I do not view this as a software product but as a technology platform; that said, I am not someone who, as a general rule, makes product recommendations. FluentStream is an exception. The product provides excellent telecommunications services (VoIP) for our full and complete range of communication needs -- and does so at a very cost effective price point.
While we virtually never need support (maybe two times per year) -- FluentStream is easy to reach, communicative, knowledgeable, and quick to reply with resolution and/or an answer.
Cons: Nothing; the product is ideal for our needs.
Overall: We have been using FluentStream for probably about five <5> years (my best guess) -- and are 1000% satisfied with the product and service.
Great Service - Great Value for the Price
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like the people and the attitude behind the software. There are technical people who try to get you to work within the confines of their software, whether or not it fits your business model. Then there are those rare companies and individuals, like I have found at Fluent Stream, who are willing to talk about how to utilize and even adapt the software to accomplish our business goals. We've been using Fluent Stream for over a year now. We use the product to provide virtual support for a variety of clients. So far, Fluent Stream has been able to customize and scale the services to meet or exceed each of our clients 'needs.
Cons: Our reporting requirements are atypical. We were able to create a work-around . It takes a little time, but it works.
Overall: I love this company and look forward to a long working relationship with them.
Great Product at a Great Price
Likely Extremely
Pros: As a business owner, I am always on the lookout for quality and cost. Often one of those comes at the cost of the other. That is not so with FluentStream - they truly are the best of three worlds. That third world is service. I have never once felt like a number unlike I have with other telecom companies. If you have a business and are looking for an alternative to the big guys, I urge you to give FluentStream a try. You will be extremely hard-pressed to find a better combination of quality, features, and service - all for a price that is phenomenal. On top of that, their platform is totally customizable for your business and they can change it on the fly. What more can you ask for? I have put them on my website for free because I am THAT impressed and I want those who know me to have the opportunity to get to know them. I heartily endorse this company.
Cons: My biggest complaint would be regarding faxing. It should be a smoother process and it would be nice to have a time/date stamp added to the pdf of the faxed info in lieu of having to save the email with the pdf.
Recommendations to other buyers: It may take some getting used to if you have never used VoIP. "Play" with the features - they are more than willing to let you do so before making a commitment.
Excellent Value, Features, and Customer Service
Likely Extremely
Pros: Feature set, call forwarding to external phone numbers, time conditions, visual voicemail, remote administration, call logs for all devices, efax, the list goes on.
Cons: Initially there were missing features we recognized transferring from our old system, however those quickly disappeared as we discovered even better methods to achieve the same tasks.
Overall: Fluentstream has met or exceeded all of our expectations. Their customer service is courteous, thorough, knowledgeable and patient. The features we have received have improved our business, in ways we did not know were available. The call forwarding to external numbers, time conditions, visual voicemail, e-fax, call routes, have all improved our productivity and response time. I cannot recommend Fluentstream highly enough for your business! To top it off we saved a tremendous amount of money, and received more features.
Recommendations to other buyers: Give it a try, you'll be happy you did!
Best phone provider in the business!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Very intuitive and capable system.
Cons: I can not think of more ways to incorporate them into our systems.
Overall: I have never had the pleasure to work with such an incredible phone provider before. FluentStream gives you all the features you could possibly want at a very reasonable price, they are always working with us to innovate on great ideas to help our clients reach us. They have helped us to streamline our process and save money by not needing to use multiple providers. To top it off, in the 2 years we have been using them we have had the service go down once(not even their fault as a main upstream carrier went down) and they switched over their upstream carrier within 5 minutes to get us completely back up and running. INCREDIBLE.
2 Year FluentStream Administrator & User
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ability to update the settings in the phone system is extremely easy for a novice. The chrome plug in and iphone app are a plus for those who utilize them. Customer service is extremely friendly, prompt, and follows up after they have completed a request to ensure everything is still going smoothly after the call for help - this is rather unique!
Cons: The texting (SMS) feature could be more robust.
Overall: We are able to setup our phone system on our own using fluentstream and collect data on the calls made through the system. We are pleased with the software and service provided.
(Helpdesk guy perspective)Supporting this phone system is a lot easier than our previous one
Likely Extremely
Pros: The GUI makes it so easy that a Helpdesk guy is able to do administrative tasks with ease. It's simple and east to do easy things like reassigning extensions to new users, changing the order of the queue agents, setting up new conference IDs, etc... Also, if there's something I can't figure out I can open a chat with support and I get top quality answers within a minute of opening the chat.
Cons: The only thing I don't like about the software is a current bug that causes transferred calls to not show up on the Call History page of the recipient. However, Fluentstream support has been very friendly and they are working to resolve the issue.
Overall: Overall it's been a great experience. As an entry level help desk guy it's really fun for me to learn the system and get a better understanding of VoIP systems.
Fantastic Service!
Likely Extremely
Pros: the software features an incredibly intuitive user-interface
Cons: there's not much to complain about though it's sometimes confusing because for some items there are multiple ways to configure the same result - though this is truly a feature and time-saver on other occasions.
Overall: I've been a customer for years and they do a fantastic job. You can be sure if you are unable to find the answer yourself you can just jump on a chat with tech support and they will immediately work with you to find a resolution without delay.
Their Name Says It All
Likely Extremely
Pros: FluentStream has been the best telephone service our company has had the pleasure of utilizing. Their service is reliable, stable and very, very affordable. Also, if and when we have a problem, which is rare, their customer service team is always available and extra knowledgeable.
Cons: I have nothing negative to say about FluentStream.
Overall: If you are a small business like us and you want to save money on a reliable and robust telephone service - I would highly recommend FluentStream.
Customer service second to none!
Likely Extremely
Pros: It's easy to use, which makes it great to be able to get new people up to speed.
Cons: It's sometimes hard to configure a new device - HOWEVER, that's offset by the fact that there's ALWAYS someone at FluentStream who is ready and willing to help me get it done, and quickly.
Overall: I've never had an issue that there hasn't been someone right there to immediately help me get the issue resolved. And they're not just efficient - they're friendly and personable, too. It's always a pleasure to work with them!
Excellent people to work with
Likely Extremely
Pros: I really like the customer support team. They are on top of any error you may come across which isn't frequent. Also, you talk to someone in the USA, another huge win. Not only have they had a great track record with regards to solving errors quickly, if they can improve on an area of the user portal they do, and constantly take suggestions for features.
Cons: Some of the terms for describing features can blend together with regards to the setup.
Overall: We are able to log sales and customer care calls directly to Salesforce with ease, which helps our company be more efficient, and better organized.
Best Service Provider
Likely Extremely
Pros: Reliable
UI is fantastic
Cloud Based
Budget Friendly
Not Nickle and Dimed
Great Customer Support
Cons: None
Overall: We have 17 service providers and FluentStream is easily ranked in the top 2 spots alongside Salesforce.com. They have collaborated with us on some custom delevopment projects and have saved us a ton of money over our previous provider. Fluentstream has hands down the most reliable VOIP service I have ever witnessed, as well as a groundbreaking cloud PBX.
Recommendations to other buyers: Do yourself a favor and choose FluentStream.
An awesome IP phone software system.
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love the fact that I get my voicemail sent to my email immediately after they are left. Allows me to stay in touch no matter where I am.
Cons: Sometimes when I log into the online portal to change my forwarding or follow me functions, it doesn;t save the changes. Seems to be getting better though!
Overall: The ability to work from anywhere and be able to change anything I need related to my phone system!
USed it for over 2 years, internationa offices, multiple businesses.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Service, Reliability, Flexibility. They always answer or call back promptly. Even international use, they can accommodate, and the product works super well, without any trouble. They help when we re-organize or re-deploy the original programing. The flexibility with users, multiple companies and international offices and remote employees is amazing. The contrast between this system and a huge complex proprietary system is night and day, not even on the same planet. This is easy, the service is responsive... the price is right, the reliability is exceptional
Cons: There is nothing I don't like about Fluentstream.
Recommendations to other buyers: Try it. You'll like it. It surpasses expectations.
The Best cloud based VOIP Service ever used !
Likely Extremely

The Call Center Solution We Have All Been Waiting For
Likely Extremely
Pros: No pressure sales. Pricing that makes for a reasonable migration and a quick and easy setup. Excellent support team, always calm and helpful. Prompt response to communications and inquiries. Solid chat service for fast resolution to problems.
Cons: Like everyone else these days we are interested in BI. The pre-made reports are good but we would always love to have more.
Overall: luentstream has been an answer to our prayers. We love the quality of the service for our call center. How you guys got such a broad range of functionality in such a compact and well designed system is beyond me, but I am glad you did. The report package gives a good presentation of the essential stats we need to run the operation. Support has been great, too.
John Ross

Good product with a big miss

Pros: It records my calls and it is easy to track them down. Also, they have great support that will back back to you quickly when experiencing a problem.
Cons: The mobile app has a"touch to sign in" function that has never worked and I don't believe it works. I take a lot of calls on the road and having to pull over to sign into my account is the biggest inconvenience.
FluentStream customer service is great
Likely Extremely
Pros: There are many features to FluentStream. I especially like getting my voice messages via email.
I also like the faxing capabilities and the ability to manage my users.
Cons: There are so many options which are available that it can be overwhelming setting users up. That is solved though by their excellent customer support.

Overall: Have been using for years
Affordable Phone Solution
Likely Extremely
Pros: FluentStream VoIP is a reliable cloud phone solution for business needs. It is well-known to their consistent service, very affordable and on-time support.
Cons: Examine the features your company needs to get the accurate package. Ask for support if needed to fully understand the features stated on each plans.
Love FluentStream
Likely Extremely
Pros: Super fast to install and supper is fantastic.
Cons: None
Overall: I can't believe I could get a phone service up and running for my company so quickly and seamlessly.
Recommendations to other buyers: You can't go wrong with this.
Fluentstream Customer Service
Likely Extremely
Pros: Emails when I get a message on my extension.
Cons: When I have to reboot the phone I loose all my saved contacts in my directory. It takes time to recreate those directories, so I cannot re-create them.
Overall: Customer service is always available, patient, and willing to work out any issues. thank you.
Likely Extremely
Pros: FluentStream has phenomenal customer service. After dealing with the major phone companies for so long, it became very stressful and even costly for our business. However, Fluentstream is a company that seems to truly care.
Cons: I wish that there were some better options for compatible hardware and even better guidance from the company in terms of finding appropriate hardware.
Overall: Outstanding. I've been so pleased with this company.
FluentStream VOIP Phone Service - Highly Recommend
Likely Extremely
Pros: Value for the Cost is outstanding - significant savings over past providers. Support has been superb for us - quick responses and semi-custom solutions, software offers many setup options, USA competent support.
Cons: A few very minor glitches with setting up text notifications - however - our customer service agent handled all modification requests promptly and enthusiastically.
Overall: Excellent - ours was not an easy setup for 2 companies at one location sharing personnel and phones. I'd recommend using the phones that FluentStream says work best with their system. We have Cisco SPA508G and they are good phones - but the programming is a little more complex to integrate if you need a custom setup. They did an OUTSTANDING job compared with both large and smaller VOIP providers we've used and explored.
Easy Adoption - Great Functionality - Reliable Support
Likely Extremely
Pros: FluentStream is versatile and fits my business needs perfectly and it was easy to implement. The functionality is robust and I find it migrates well to their cloud based and app platforms. The cost structure is very reasonable and they were able to provide a package at a price that is helping my business succeed. There have been glitches but their attention to support is evident with their Colorado based staff who have been attentive and responsive when needed.
Cons: There has not been anything significant at this time that has not been addressed.
Overall: I would strongly recommend FluentStream and think they are positioned to provide solutions that will help small and large businesses scale and succeed.
Great Voip System for the price
Likely Extremely
Comments: We used FluentStream on our team for about 2 years. In the beginning, we rarely encountered issues. Note that I was not the admin or IT guy on FluentStream, but I rarely had a problem. The interface is easy to use and requires zero training.
Pros: Clear calls with few drops. Support was always helpful and quick (often put our own support team to shame). Support was always friendly and knowledgeable, which is what you need. :)
Cons: Other than occasional glitches, there were no cons. But you will get that with every phone, so don't over think it.
Recommendations to other buyers: Once you find the right phone system, you'll have it for life. Do your best to seek out good customer service. You won't be disappointed you looked at FluentStream.
Adequate VOIP for small business.
Likely Extremely
Pros: FluentStream offers all the features you would expect from any competent VOIP host. Support is easy to reach via phone and they are very helpful
Cons: Their system has quite a few "bugs". When you contact support, they often will acknowledge the bug and will have to provide a "workaround". I wish their system would just work as intended rather than having to resort to temporary workarounds to get the functionality needed.
FluentStream review
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ease of use is the greatest feature.
Cons: I don't have any negatives about the software.
Overall: allows us to document more details after reviewing calls, this is very beneficial
Outstandiing Company
Likely Extremely
Pros: Customer service is outstanding, tech support folks are great.
Cons: No complaints. There is nothing here to write.
Recommendations to other buyers: Make sure you have good internet before taking on VOIP. We have had some issues due to bandwidth but nothing to do with FluentStream. They have been supportive and outstanding on every front.

FluentStream - My goto Voip provider
Comments: I have now been a Fluent partner for some time. I only recommend services to my clients that I would use, and I do. In todays every growing internet world there are so many choices when it comes to vendors, more that you can imagine. Mainly all can get the job done, but we have to decided who are we most comfortable with, who we are giving are business to? Who do we want to work with in the challenging times? This is how I decide on who to work with and not just what technology I am buying. Fluent combines excellent technology and service, which results in authentic value. In todays world buying the "right" relationship is key.
Pros: 24/7 support - US based support. Custom configurations to meet your business needs. No monthly contracts.
Cons: Bring your own internet. No routers or network equipment provided as a service.
Great product with great service
Likely Extremely
Pros: It works great and I don't have to maintain a phone system anymore.
Cons: The faxing was problematic, but I think it was mostly due to our application and not their product.
Recommendations to other buyers: Very easy to get going. We have a complicated setup and fluentcloud made it easy.
Look No Further...
Comments: As a business owner, I am always on the lookout for quality and cost. Often one of those comes at the cost of the other. That is not so with FluentStream - they truly are the best of three worlds. That third world is service. I have never once felt like a number unlike I have with other telecom companies.
If you have a business and are looking for an alternative to the big guys, I urge you to give FluentStream a try. You will be extremely hard-pressed to find a better combination of quality, features, and service - all for a price that is phenomenal. On top of that, their platform is totally customizable for your business and they can change it on the fly. What more can you ask for?
I have put them on my website for free because I am THAT impressed and I want those who know me to have the opportunity to get to know them. I heartily endorse this company.
VERY Satisfied
Likely Extremely
Pros: Full featured, sound quality, website, customer service, price, emailing messages; conference call quality
Cons: The Yealink website is separate from the FluentStream site, dialing by clicking on phone numbers on a website does not work with Firefox or IE, "Full featured" also means complicated choices. Faxing does not have built in scanning software. Transferring calls is not intuitive
Overall: A wonderful company to work with. Use of FluentStream has resulted in reduced phone costs and increased efficiencies.
We love FluentStream!
Pros: This phone system was way better than our old system and so much more reliable I don't think will ever go back!
Cons: It works exactly as described way better quality and no more phone issues like we used to have! Nothing bad to say!
Customer Support
Likely Extremely
Cons: Would like to be able to copy over contact/directory information from one phone to another easily.
Overall: We have had a turnover recently that has required changing extentions, adding a phone, etc.
Calls have been made to customer service to add the phone and make changes to extentions over the last month or two. The calls have been answered and changes made without delay. We have been very happy with customer service.
Great Local Company, Great support!
Comments: We had moved our entire phone system to Fluent Stream and have never been happier. We were hesitant at first going with a Voip technology but everyone at FS were friendly and held our hands all the way through. It is also really nice to have someone local who can come by if necessary! Good job Guys!
A++ All Around!
Comments: Customer Service is unmatched. From day 1, they were able to answer any of questions, comments and concerns. Every feature and capabilities we could ask for were developed. Quality of calls are no longer a concern. Great system, highly recommended!
We just started our service with them

20 Month Purchase and Balance Transfer.
|Representative example [?]
|Purchase rate
19.95% p.a.
|Based on borrowing
over 12 months
|This example is for illustrative purposes and serves as a guide only. Your actual credit limit and rate will vary based on your individual circumstances and may differ from the example shown.
We should be able to give you a decision within 5 minutes; terms and conditions apply.
Here are some of the extra benefits you get with your Bank of Scotland Credit Card
What is a representative example?
The representative example is an illustration of the rate that the majority of customers will get. If a credit card is described as having a particular representative APR, then at least 51% of the applicants accepted will get that rate. Other customers may get a different rate based on their individual circumstances.
We use an example borrowing amount of £1,200 to calculate our representative example but in reality this figure could be different. This figure is not the credit limit you will be receiving and is for illustrative purposes only.
The purchase rate is the rate of interest you'll be charged on purchases made with your credit card after any introductory offer has ended. A variable rate means that your interest rate may change over time.
What does APR mean?
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) tells you how much your borrowing will cost over an average year. It takes into account interest charged as well as any additional fees you'll have to pay (such as any annual fees). This figure is given to allow you to make an easy and fair comparison between different credit cards.
How do we decide the APR you get?
We treat all applications on an individual basis. So the APR you get is determined by the details supplied on your application, along with an independent verification of your credit and repayment history.
At least 51% of customers will get a representative rate of 19.9% APR (variable). Other customers may be offered the Classic Credit Card with a rate of 27.9% APR (variable).
We should be able to give you a decision within 5 minutes.
It's always good to know the exact details so here is a clear summary of all the key credit card features. The information contained in this table summarises key product features and is not intended to replace any terms and conditions.
|SUMMARY BOX - Bank of Scotland Platinum Balance Transfer CREDIT CARD
|Representative 19.9% APR (variable)
|Interest rates
|Introductory promotional rates

|Money transfers
|Not applicable.
Default charges - the simple annual rate is 18.324%
We will charge you £12 if you do not make at least your minimum payment to us by the payment due date requested on your statement. You will lose your promotional offers if this happens and the standard interest rates for the applicable transactions will apply.
|Interest-free period
|Interest charging information
We calculate interest daily based on the total amount you owe. We add together all the daily interest amounts in each statement period and add the total to your balance on your statement date.
There are three exceptions to this rule:
|Allocation of payments
We use your payments to clear any overdue amounts before we apply them to your latest minimum payment.
We will reduce the amount you owe in the following order:
We use your payments to pay off balances charged at the highest interest rate first and so on down to balances with the lowest interest rates. This means the more expensive balances are always paid off first.
If there is more than one type of balance at the same interest rate, they are paid off in the following order: cash transactions, purchases, balance transfers and money transfers, and then default charges (plus any interest or charges incurred as a result of those balances). For each type of balance, your payments will pay off the oldest balance (and related fees, charges or insurance) first.
|Minimum payment
The minimum payment we ask for is charged on a monthly basis and will be the higher of £5 or the total of:
If you owe less than £5, you must pay the full amount you owe.
|Credit limit
|Minimum credit limit
|Subject to status
|Maximum credit limit
|Subject to status
|Your credit limit is the total amount you can borrow under the credit card agreement. We set this limit and tell you what it is in writing soon after opening your account. It is important to stay within your credit limit. Please see your credit card agreement for any limitations that apply to certain transactions.

|Non-Sterling Transaction fee
|2.95% of the amount of the sterling transaction value.
|Cash transaction fee
|3% or minimum £3.
|Default charges
|Late Payment charge
|Overlimit charge
Credit cards are designed to be a flexible form of borrowing. Paying the minimum amount every so often can help you manage your money more effectively, although we would not recommend that you make minimum payments for a long period of time once your promotional offers have ended. Once your account is open, you can set up a Direct Debit for any fixed amount over the minimum payment by calling 0345 729 3949. Lines are open 7am - 11pm, 7 days a week.
For longer term borrowing it may be more appropriate to choose a loan from us. If you would like to find out more about this you can call Bank of Scotland Personal Loans on 0345 600 4611, or visit www.bankofscotland.co.uk/loans or call into a Bank of Scotland branch, where our staff will be happy to help.
The following example highlights the difference between only paying the minimum and paying a fixed amount;
For a purchase of £1,000 on your Bank of Scotland Platinum Balance Transfer Credit Card.
|Monthly Payment
|If you pay the minimum payment each month
|If you pay £50 each month
|How much interest will you be charged in the first year?
|How much interest will you be charged in the second year?
|How long would it take to clear the balance?
|18 years 5 months
|2 years 2 months
The above example assumes the following:
Bank of Scotland is a responsible lender and we only want you to borrow what you can afford and in a way that is best for you. If you'd like to talk to us about the choices you've made or you would like further information, please contact us. We will also be able to help you if you're experiencing financial difficulties.

Contemporary artist Saya Woolfalk's body of work transports visitors into a fantastical world where they encounter a fictional race of women Woolfalk has created called the Empathics.
Expedition to the ChimaCloud continues Woolfalk's extensive narrative of the Empathics, who will be introducing their newest groundbreaking technology at the Nelson-Atkins. The exhibition is an immersive, multimedia experience created for the Nelson-Atkins that incorporates themes of cultural hybridization, technology, identity, ceremonial rituals, and science fiction.

When Janka Nabay performs at D.C. nightclub Tropicalia on Friday, the Sierra Leone native will offer a frenetic and infectious take on his homeland's centuries-old bubu music. It's a sound that has suddenly made Nabay one of the most celebrated singers in Afropop, a genre whose fan base has swelled in popularity over the past few years thanks to the overwhelming success of the smash musical "Fela!"
Nabay's biography and stature may not yet rival that of Fela Kuti, the Nigerian firebrand who merged American jazz and funk with African rhythms and politics to yield a style he dubbed Afrobeat. But you could find worse inspiration for a future theatrical production. Nabay rose to stardom by reinventing an ancient musical form, fled his native country in the wake of a civil war and found success in the melting pot of modern American music. And should that musical ever be made, it should open not on Broadway, but in the District.
While Nabay hails from Sierra Leone and the members of his backup quintet, the Bubu Gang, consist of Brooklyn-based indie-rockers, it's Northeast Washington that Nabay calls home. This is not a widely known fact, no doubt in large part because Nabay didn't play his first local gig with the Bubu Gang until August, the day before his acclaimed new album, "En Yay Sah," was released on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. The venue was a bit more upscale than the ones that host most local Afropop performers: the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage. There didn't seem to be much of a hometown crowd for the concert, and the Kennedy Center distributed a program identifying Nabay as a Philadelphian.
"Everyone says I'm from Philadelphia," the singer protests from the stage. "I only lived in Philadelphia for three months. I live in Dee-C!" Nabay always pronounces D.C. with the emphasis on the first letter.
Afropop is a genre known for its chattering polyrhythms, chiming timbres and call-and-response vocals, and it has long drawn a local audience of expats, enthusiasts and Peace Corps veterans, one that has swelled in recent years. Nabay is not the only notable Washington-based African pop musician, but his story and sound make him the city's most likely breakout star.Elikeh
The singer became famous back home in 1994 by updating a highly rhythmic style associated with Sierra Leone's Temne tribe. Although it probably predates Islam's arrival in the region, bubu had been used for centuries only for ritual processions during Ramadan. Nabay's "Dance to the Bubu" changed that and led to a second hit, "Lek U Culture." The singer's success was soon overshadowed by the country's bloody, 11-year civil war. By 2000, the conflict was winding down, but Nabay found the aftermath unendurable.
"Everyone was hiding inside in the bush," he says. "When they come out, houses are bombed, roads are blocked, no shops, no schools. So I find my way to get here."
An acquaintance from his homeland lived in Lanham, and got Nabay a job at a nearby carwash. While working there, the musician met a woman who lived in the District. He married her and moved to Northeast. The union didn't last, but the neighborhood did. Except for that brief sojourn in Philadelphia, he's been here ever since.
Guided by his former manager, Nabay scouted for players at Zebulon, a Brooklyn club. The Bubu Gang is composed mostly of indie-rock musicians who also perform with such groups as Skeletons and Gang Gang Dance. Not all the Bubu Gang members are American-born — backing singer Boshra Al-Saadi is from Syria and guitarist Doug Shaw from Britain — but none are African.
The Bubu Gang uses modern instruments, notably Jon Leland's electronic drum kit, which allows the drummer to produce complex polyrhythms. But the songs and their themes are traditional, as are Nabay's exuberant dancing and the costume he sometimes wears: loose, colorfully patterned pants and tunic, topped by a sort of kilt made of raffia, fibers from an African palm.
"When I perform at clubs, I don't wear that skirt," he says. "When I perform at festivals, that's the time I put on the skirt." (He wore it at both the Kennedy Center and Comet Ping Pong, where he performed without his band in July.)
Nabay doesn't know much about the local African music scene, but he has heard go-go. "The go-go beat has a little taste of bubu in it," he says. "The beat is from the Mandingo tribe. The only difference when Chuck Brown played it was he used Western instruments."
Western instruments, and Western styles, have been part of Afropop since its beginnings, which are generally traced to the rise of Cuban-influenced rumba in Congo in the 1940s. "A lot of the music that fits under the world umbrella, whether people like to admit it or not, was inspired by American music," says Jean-Francis Varre, a singer-guitarist born in the District who has often visited his parents' homelands, Senegal and Cape Verde.
In the Washington area, the blend reflects personnel as well as style.
Nearly all local Afropop bands have American-born members, and they're usually in the majority. Chopteeth, which will perform Nov. 2 at the Black Cat, is a local Afropop big band similar to — but more eclectic than — Antibalas, the New York group whose members played in the house band for "Fela!" Chopteeth has no African-born members, although New Jersey-born percussionist Mahiri Keita was raised in the West African musical tradition.
"If you look at the Afrobeat movement in the U.S., it's mostly Americans," Chopteeth singer-guitarist Michael Shereikis says. "White Americans. Which is interesting."
Shereikis grew up in Illinois, not Africa, but he has strong ties to the continent. It was while living in the Central African Republic, as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1991 and '92, that he started teaching himself Afropop guitar, which is characterized by its high, sweet tone and densely interwoven patterns. After moving here in 2000, the Silver Spring resident joined bassist Robert Fox in founding Chopteeth and started Grigri Discs, a label that releases music by his band and other like-minded artists.
"The African music community in D.C. doesn't have a place to plant its flag," Shereikis says. "We created this label to start to do that."
From 1982 to 1995, the District had a full-time African music club, Kilimanjaro — although the Adams Morgan venue lost some of its African focus in its final years. Since then, local Afropop groups have mostly played festivals and indie-rock clubs. Sometimes, they get gigs as opening acts for well-known African musicians on U.S. tours.
Elikeh, whose first local gigs were at Takoma's tiny Mayorga coffeehouse, played an August record-release show for its third album at the 700-capacity Black Cat, its biggest local club date ever. The octet, led by Togolese singer-guitarist Serge "Massama" Dogo, has played every smaller rock club in the city, from the Velvet Lounge to the Rock & Roll Hotel.
At the Cat, Dogo wore an African-style tunic and trousers, and Nigerian-bred guitarist Frank Martins played trebly riffs. But the band was joined onstage by two guests from this side of the world: local rapper Head-Roc and Takoma Park guitarist John Kadlecik, a Jerry Garcia disciple who plays with ex-Dead men Phil Lesh and Bob Weir in Furthur. (The large jam-band fan base overlaps the smaller Afrobeat one.)
"For us to build our audience, we can't stick to one continent," Dogo says.
That's why Elikeh, which counts five Americans among its eight members, titled its album "Between 2 Worlds." The title recognizes two developments, says Dogo, who lives in Petworth. "The band is not just Africans but also Western musicians. We decided to go with a sound that would reflect who we are more as a band, instead of just one style.
"The second is really about me. Because of my being an immigrant, I'm stuck between two cultures. Sometimes, I don't know how to deal with situations. And I noticed that when I went back home, it was different, too. I faced the same situation, but in reverse."
Dogo's lyrics continue to comment on African culture but now are more likely to do so in English. "The way I wrote the songs, the verse may be in English, but the chorus will be a chant in Mina, my native language," he says. "Instead of making the band do a song that reflects just me, we did a song that reflects who we are and where we are. Because we are not in Togo."
Cheick Hamala Diabate, a Silver Spring resident whose regular band is also largely American, plays traditional Malian Afropop, with lyrics mostly in Mandingo. He performs wearing the customary robes and hats of his homeland. "You can wear any kind of clothes," he says. "But we play better if I wear my African clothes."
Since arriving in the area in 1995, however, Diabate has dabbled in American music, exploring the kinship between the banjo and its West African predecessor, the n'goni. That connection led to Diabate's Grammy-nominated 2007 collaboration with banjo player Bob Carlin, "From Mali to America."
Some African-rooted local bands incorporate reggae, disco or other styles into their music. Such mixtures may lessen the groups' appeal to white Afropop aficionados. Shereikis, for example, is not drawn to much of the music performed in clubs and restaurants that cater to the city's large Ethiopian population.
"It doesn't have that old, crunchy vibe, which is what I like," he says. "And what I think most Americans like."
Bassist Aristide Zogdoule is a longtime Shereikis collaborator who also performs with the Lions Band. Unusually for a Washington area Afropop group, the Lions Band has an all-African lineup. In fact, all seven members are Cameroonian. When they play, Zogdoule says, they draw an audience that's overwhelmingly from Cameroon and nearby countries.
Shereikis is a Lions Band fan, but Zogdoule says "the kind of music the Lions Band plays is more for the African community. Our music is more modern, more electric than traditional.
"When we Cameroonians play, you're going to see me in a suit," he says. "When you see Cheick Hamala or Elikeh, or even Chopteeth, they're going to wear more traditional outfits. Because that's the vision people have of Africa. We're trying to say that African people can play African music — and everything else."
Any divide between African and Western Afropop fans dissolves when stars such as Senegal's Youssou N'Dour or Mali's Salif Keita come to town. Local Africans "go see those big acts who are coming from Africa," Dogo says. "They have a lot of nostalgia; they are homesick. That's why they are going to see them. The African community, they work hard. Most of them work really late. So they'll go see music they loved when they were younger. Not music by people they don't know who are based here."
Yet Dogo has seen the African portion of Elikeh's following grow. "I notice a mixed audience now. Do I see a lot of people from Togo? I don't think so. But I'm seeing them more than I used to. We played a show recently in Baltimore, and I was surprised to see Togolese people in front of the stage and dancing. It was really great."
Dogo aims to become a full-time, D.C.-based Afropop player — someday. In the meantime, he works for a delivery service. His peers have similar aspirations and current situations. Varre is a building manager for the D.C. government; Nabay is a supervisor for the Fojol Bros. food-truck fleet; Zogdoule manages a restaurant in Alexandria.
"There's no money in this for anybody," Shereikis says. "So that's not what you should be in it for."
The Chopteeth co-founder, who labels himself a "stay-at-home dad," would like to see a full-time Afropop venue in the District. But he's more optimistic about the studio/performance space he's helping start for some Ivorian friends. "It's a lot easier to do in Abidjan, let me tell you. I don't have the millions of dollars it would take to open up a spot here."
Still, he muses, "if the musical community starts to believe in it, I know that the audience will be there."

American Bach Soloists held the 1st concert of their summer Festival & Academy, which runs at the SF Conservatory of Music through August 16th. The event opened Bayreuth-style, with a trumpet fanfare proclaimed from the topmost level of the lobby 15 minutes before the performance. In keeping with this year's theme, the program consisted of dance suites by 3 composers of the French high Baroque.
Conductor Jeffrey Thomas briefly introduced the scenario of Jean-Féry Rebel's Les Élémens, which depicts nothing less than the emergence of the universe. Maestro Thomas had the string section play the motives representing water, air, fire & earth so that we could recognize them later. The piece begins with a shockingly dissonant chord, which sounds nothing like the 18th century, though the rest of the music was conventional.
The orchestra of about 25 gave a flawless, well-prepared performance which could go straight to CD. The violins' phrasing was precise & emphatic. The woodwinds sounded lovely. The flute & piccolo were clean, woody & never breathy. I enjoyed the oboe solos, which were consistently smooth, clear & even. The bassoons had a distinctive, mellow sound that was less flatulant than their modern equivalent. The brass instruments blended nicely, & the orchestral balances seemed right. There were more fine woodwind solos, especially from the oboe, in the suite by Aubert, & the violins played rapid 16th note passages with impressive synchronization. Maestro Thomas was a calm conductor. He led with small, undemonstrative gestures, & tempos were straight & unrushed.

September 27, 2010]
FRENCH firm Schneider Electric (Phils.) Inc. has re-introduced its
power support products in the Philippine data center market after
sales and income dropped last year.
Schneider re-launched on Friday the upgraded version of its product
targeting businesses relying on computer servers.
According to Kevin Hughes, the company's manager for cooling products
in Asia-Pacific and Japan, the decision to reintroduce products
launched in January is based on results of a June 2009 survey that
revealed majority of chief information officers prioritize modular
cooling as a design for data centers.
It's still relevant because the technology we have in the United
States "relate to what's happening here and is also applicable,"
Hughes said.
Cooling has been a requirement for power-hungry computers used by many
data centers that rely on continuous operation of their equipment.
According to Hughes, a high-density data center requires more air and
more cables.
"Power usage is the number one issue for most large-company IT
executives over the next two to four years," Hughes's colleague Sim
Chia Wei said.
Wei, business development manager for Asean, added that another market
trend is that "physical infrastructure costs will equal, and then
surpass, [information technology] equipment costs."
"Market conditions are perfect for introducing management tools to
effectively manage the physical environment," he told reporters in a
press conference.
Schneider introduced an upgraded version of its infrastructure
products after the company entered the new year with a 19.89-percent
drop in net sales to P601.5 million from P750.94 million in December
2008. The drop in sales was despite cutting cost of sales by 22.9
percent to P392.6 million from P509.2 million in 2008, according to
the firm's latest report to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Schneider's Philippine office also saw its net income drop by 17.43
percent in 2009 to P57.21 million from P69.3 million in the previous
The company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of France-incorporated
Schneider Electric SA, also said in its financial statement to the SEC
that it reduced its employees in 2009, slightly increasing its
miscellaneous expense to P3.748 million.
But while costs for salaries, wages and benefits to employees went
down by 16.59 percent to 70.27 million, only 0.82 percent or P203,229
was cut for its management fees from P27.57 million in 2008.
Schneider is banking on a new deal by its business unit American Power
Conversion Corp. (APC) with Eastern Telecommunications Philippines
Inc. to support the company's re-entry into the data center market.
A statement said APC would supply solutions for the data center and
manage and oversee the project. IBM Philippines Inc. will implement
the project, the statement added.
Country sales manager Ian de la Rosa said during the press conference
the products would be imported from a Schneider manufacturing unit in
other countries.
"There are still no indications when these will be manufactured in our
plant [in Rosario, Cavite]."

Mother-daughter writing team,

to write a warm, witty and joyous story about two people brought together by the oddest of circumstance.
Early thirties Jewish bachelor Isaac Goldstein, who makes his living signing for the deaf, meets Holly Shaughnessey, a late 20's physical therapist, whose brother is a Catholic priest.
Isaac is the despair of his parents because he can't or won't settle down with a girl, AND he denies the existence of God.
Holly has other 'issues' that Isaac's not aware of. She's mourning the death of a lost love at whose bedside she carried out a long and loving vigil.
When the two meet it is - well, something-at-first-sight. But there's a problem. And it's not their different religions.
Holly won't touch him. She won't let him touch her even to shake hands or help her with her coat. Yet they start a strange, albeit untouching, courtship which eventually leaves Isaac at his wits' end.
Holly will touch, hug and kiss everyone EXCEPT HIM.
How can he make this woman who admits that she LOVES him - actually TOUCH him? Why won't she, and how can he bridge the gap? Meanwhile Holly fails to understand his lack of faith in God - ANY God.
It takes a family tragedy and the very nature of its impact, and what it means in terms of faith and love, to finally make Isaac take a leap of faith INTO faith, and for Holly to put an end to unwittingly sitting shiva for her dead love.
And touch Isaac.
It's about not just crossing the gap between faiths, but the gap between believing in the redemptive power of love and belief. It's funny, it's warm, it's sad - and yes, it's a touching story.
