This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
Drewberry aims to provide the very best advice and customer service for our clients when arranging suitable insurance plans from the most reputable and competitively priced insurers in the UK. Their advisers pride themselves on having extensive product and insurer knowledge.
There is no fee for the service and absolutely no obligation to take out any of the plans recommended.
PMI is designed to cover the cost of consultations, diagnostic testing and treatment in private healthcare facilities.
Please see the dedicated Drewberry healthcare insurance website for more information.
The benefits of PMI are often cited as being:
1) The avoidance of potentially long NHS waiting times;
2) Reduced risk of contracting infections, such as MRSA; and
3) More comfortable and private hospital accommodation.
Drewberry offers the health insurance products of all market leading insurers, such as Bupa, Aviva, AXA PPP Healthcare, PruHealth, Health-On-Line and others.
Drewberry provides advice and arranges medical insurance plans for individuals, couples and for families under one policy (please see the guide to family health insurance for more information).
Drewberry also arranges private health insurance for businesses and other organisations under one group insurance scheme (please see the guide to business health insurance for more information).
Another popular personal protection plan is income protection cover (sometimes known as permanent health insurance).
This type of insurance is designed to payout a monthly income should you have to take time out of work due to illness or injury, therefore suffering a subsequent loss of earnings.
Please see the dedicated Drewberry income insurance website for more information.
With very limited state benefits available, income protection is the only real means of maintaining long-term living standards should illness or injury strike.
The plan provides an income (up to 65% of gross earnings) so you can still pay for essential monthly costs, such as rent/mortgage payments, utility bills and grocery costs.
These are very comprehensive plans as they can usually payout for practically any medical complaint that prevents you from working. The term of the plan is usually set at retirement age, thus providing long-term support should you be unable to return to work.
Although income protection provides a far greater scope of protection the premiums can sometimes be a little high for older or more manual workers.
In this case, it makes sense to consider an accident and sickness insurance plan, which can payout for a maximum of 12 or 24 months, rather than until retirement (please see the guide to sickness insurance for more information). It is often better to have some protection rather than none at all.
In addition to private healthcare insurance and income protection insurance, Drewberry also provides advisory and broking services for a number of other protection policies.
Drewberry has a specialist service and website for individuals seeking to protect their mortgage loan, whether taken out individually or as a couple.
The main products arranged in this area include mortgage life insurance with critical illness cover (paying out a lump sum upon death or the diagnosis of a critical illness condition) and mortgage payment protection (paying out a monthly benefit if time has to be taken off work due to accident, sickness or unemployment).
Please see the dedicated Drewberry mortgage assurance website for more information.
Drewberry also offers business protection insurance services, brokering products such as keyman insurance and shareholder protection in order to adequately cover businesses and shareholders against the loss of a key director (please see our guide to business protection for more information).
Drewberry consistently receives positive feedback from 99% of clients, with many clients stating how happy they are with the ease and convenience of the process for taking out cover.
"Everything was explained well to us. Full support was given with filling in the forms. The quote was impressive too!"
"Very quick response from the adviser. He found an appropriate policy for my needs and responded quickly to my enquiries."
"The helpfulness of the adviser who answered all my silly questions and could not have been more helpful."
Many people think that the lowest premiums are obtained by going direct to insurers, however, this simply isn't the case.
Firstly, if you go directly to an insurer you go with the purchasing power of one. Given the size of Drewberry's network, when they go to an insurer they go with the purchasing power of thousands, thus negotiating the most competitive premiums.
Secondly, many insurers do not actually sell directly to consumers. These insurers recognise that advisers are best placed to arrange suitable cover and therefore only sell their plans via advisers.

3 arrested for possibly attacking Quincy officer
QUINCY, Mass. (WHDH) -- Three individuals have been arrested for possibly attacking a police officer in Quincy Saturday afternoon.
The police was off duty at the time, but in uniform and heading to work a detail. He stopped to talk to a man and a woman in the midst of an argument, when several people emerged from a nearby home, possibly with baseball bats. Police are also looking into the possibility that a knife was involved.
The incident occurred near Independence Avenue and Presidents Avenue around 4:30 p.m.
Two men and one woman are now in custody at the Quincy Police Department and officials said the suspects are not cooperating with police.
It is not clear yet if the police officer was attacked and authorities will not elaborate on whether the officer is suffering from injuries. They will only disclose that he is doing fine.
The situation is under investigation. Stay with 7News for updates.

The Royal Hanneford Circus transforms the Westchester County Center this weekend into a spectacular stage, showcasing tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, acrobats and animal acts. It's that last part that has animal-rights activists up in arms.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has organized a protest outside the County Center prior to Saturday's afternoon performance to draw attention to what the group says is cruel and inhumane treatment of circus animals.
"Bears, elephants, tigers, and other animals used in circuses do not voluntarily ride bicycles, stand on their heads, balance on balls, or jump through rings of fire," says PETA's website.
The group says that circus animals are forced to learn these tricks with whips, bullhooks, electric prods and other punishments. When the animals aren't performing, they are often kept shackled or in tiny cages, says PETA.
The Hanneford Circus is a frequent target of animal-rights groups. Protesters rallied at the County Center 2008, 2005 and 2004 when the circus came to town.
The Hanneford Circus has defended its treatment of animals, saying they are well cared for and their training is based on "reinforcement in the form of food rewards and words of praise."
The animal-rights activists organized the call to action via Facebook. Local activists from PETA, Animal Defenders of Westchester and other groups plan to educate the incoming crowd about animal mistreatment throughout the history of circuses.
Tickets and Other Information
Show times are Saturday, Sunday and Monday at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Check the web for pre-show information and events.
All seats are reserved with premium seats at $28.50 and regular seats at $22.50. Children over 2 require a ticket, and under 2 are admitted free if they sit on a lap. Groups that are interested in attending should contact Zanzarella Marketing at 914-945-0480. For groups of over 20 people the ticket price is reduced by $3.50.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster (a service fee is added) or at the County Center Box Office (no service fee applies).

Iowa university faculty OK exceptions for military
CEDAR FALLS (AP) — The University of Northern Iowa Faculty Senate has approved a new policy that would let military personnel and veterans can carry out their duties or receive medical treatment without worrying about missing class.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported the Faculty Senate approved the policy proposal on Monday. The proposal goes next to the university's Policy Review Committee before going to the administration for final approval.
The issue arose last fall when Iowa Army National Guard Spc. James Roethler filed a grievance with the university after a teacher wouldn't let him make up an exam that he missed while on National Guard training.

We have gutter guards on our gutters which have become clogged with debris over the years. We hired a guy to clean the gutters and he says that he can't remove the guards unless he spends hours doing the job and even then it usually isn't done. Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do? | |||
There are many different types of gutter guards, from the snap in mesh type (plastic or metal), to the expensive "gutter helmet" type, that only have about an inch opening or so. What type do you have? | ||||
If you look at them from the side they are zig zags--I found a site that I will go back to and post a bit later. | ||||

Well it has only taken 11 years of my life to see this scheme on to the ground!
Friday 19th October saw the official opening of the Banbury Flood Alleviation Scheme that I personally started working on back in 2001.
2001 – A Banbury odyssey and all that!
The scheme to protect Banbury has cost £17million pounds to build and at times of flood will store water in a temporary flood storage reservoir on farmland upstream of Banbury slowly releasing it at a rate that will not inundate vulnerable areas of the town.
It sounds simple doesn't it?
- Well to build the reservoir we have had to
- Excavate 200,000 Cubic metres of clay and soil to build an embankment almost 3km long.
- Move the river in three separate locations
- Raise 860m of the A361 road
- Excavate roman farmsteads
- Protect Historic Battlefields and more modern anti-aircraft emplacements, and
- Deal both with droughts and floods during its construction!
This last point means the scheme has already been tested. Back in April 2012, even before it was properly finished, a low level flood occurred and thankfully the scheme worked as it was designed to do.
Moving forward we are working with the Environment Agency and Cherwell District Council to help form a new Country Park in the area so it looks like we have a few more years service to complete on this long-running but ultimately very rewarding project!
Stuart – 23rd October, 2012
RLC were asked by Manchester Metropolitan University to give a talk at a gathering of newly graduated Landscape Architectures and fellow professionals at a celebration event held in CUBE Gallery, Manchester. The event coincided with the Masters Students end of year show and provided them with an opportunity to meet and showcase their work to professionals from around the UK.
It was clear upon entering the gallery that the tutors at MMU have allowed this year's graduates to be more expressive with their exhibitions than in previous years. This resulted in a significantly raised bar and an exhibition that appeared well considered, highlighting a diverse range of responses to the brief and more than competing with the Architecture graduates exhibiting just next door.
RLC were one of three speakers on the night including Tom Lonsdale of Playcraft and fellow Landscape practice Kinnear who had travelled from London for the event. Jonathan Miley (Senior Landscape Architect) gave RLC's talk and encouraged the next generation of Landscape Architects (and professionals alike) that it isn't all bad out there at the moment and things are (although slowly) getting better.
After much deliberation Jonathan decided to talk about a number of commissions the practice is currently undertaking using them to demonstrate the diverse range of projects Landscape Architects get involved with – some of which are more obvious that others! These ranged from helping a zoo to re-arrange a number of animal enclosures, developing multi-million pound flood defence schemes working with the Environment Agency and trying to convince Anglesey County Council that sinking a warship off the coast of Anglesey to create an artificial dive reef was a great idea! Jonathan argued that it's the professions inherent flexibility and the diversity of skills that are our greatest asset. All we need to do now is educate the client to think the same!
Jonathan ended his talk on a subject that is currently in the media spot light, describing the work the practice does in this area as one of its most fulfilling. Whilst developing flood alleviation schemes isn't viewed as the most glamorous work for Landscape Architects, it's certainly one area that has the greatest positive effect of people lives. These schemes help safeguard communities, homes, businesses and places of work for the future. They involve the creation of new dams, embankments and flood walls and can run through open countryside, town centres or people's back gardens. They involve community consultation, masterplanning, concept and detailed design, environmental assessment and habitat creation. In short, they encompass all that we do as Landscape Architects….they help to protect the environment whilst improving people's lives.
The event was well attended by both students and professionals and the message from all speakers appeared to be the same; stay flexible and remember diversity is the key to the continued development, and survival, of the profession.
Last Saturday the team celebrated the end of the project and the parks 100th anniversary by attending the Official Opening of the refurbished Dunwood Park.
After many months of hard work by ourselves, Oldham Borough Council's countryside and horticultural teams, many volunteers and the Contractor, Casey Construction the park has finally come to fruition and opened to the public.
If you are thinking of something similar near your home and want to make a difference: maybe to a local park, school or area of open space in need of TLC please give us a call. We would be delighted to help, no matter how large or small the site or how crazy the ideas you have may be!
For a period of 1 month only during October 2012, RLC are offering individuals, companies and interest groups a free 2 hour consultation session. A "Walk and Talk" with you by one of our experienced landscape architects to answer questions on taking the first steps, looking at ways to access Heritage Lottery Funding.
Please call Stuart or Alice on 01244 400064 to arrange.
Alice and Stuart had a busy couple of days in Morpeth recently as they helped present and staff the preliminary design proposals for the town's flood alleviation scheme. Two events were organised in association with the Environment Agency and Northumberland County Council. A town-wide event held at Morpeth Town Hall saw an estimated 100 people through the door to learn the good news that the scheme had received £21million of funding and that detail design had commenced. The next day a drop-in session held in the highly attractive High Stanners part of town explored the preliminary proposals with at least 80 residents braving the heavy rain to attend.
Stuart Ryder – Director
The two trees have gone! We've had the corporate lumberjacks in and they have felled our trees to make place for our new, 'swish' logo – green and dynamic just like us. The new image is part of a re-branding exercise we are rolling out that includes new marketing material and increased business to business contact.
We are currently working on the 3d ground model of the Cherwell Country Park in Key Terra Firma and Sketchup to form an accurate representation of the current ground conditions on site. The area illustrated was extensively quarried for clay which was used to construct the flood embankment core. Over 170,000 metres cubed of material was dug out. Consequently reinstatement back to the original condition would be costly as a large amount of material would have to be imported to fill the void left. Topographical surveys and 3d ground models have been produced to aid in identifying areas where existing stockpiles of waste material produced by the Banbury FAS scheme could be positively used. The model has aided the design process in determining primary areas where ground work will be required and the most accessible routes around the Cherwell Country Park.

Banbury Flood Alleviation Scheme finally got underway on site back in February 2011 and is due to be completed in summer 2012. As part of the scheme, RLC were asked to design a new Country Park that would connect areas that were used by the flood defence scheme. The two main areas were Wildmere Industrial estate woodland, formerly inaccessible to the public and a parcel of land adjacent to the M40 that was used to excavate the clay used to construct the flood embankment. Ordinarily, the Environment Agency would seek to reinstate areas used by the flood defence scheme back to their former condition, but in collaboration with Cherwell District Council the opportunity to develop the area into a country park for Banbury was too appealing.
RLC have worked closely with The Environment Agency and Cherwell District Council to design a broad strategic Masterplan of the area and implement parts where funding has been available. Below are a series of photos of the new woodland footpath at Wildmere Industrial Estate that is currently being constructed. The area will also benefit from new planting to enhance the existing woodland and also a series of wildlife scrape that will bring ecological diversity to the area. This will eventually link up to other parts of the proposed country park.

Over the past few weeks the residents of Shaw, Oldham will have noticed a new addition to their park and they wouldn't be blamed for thinking something 'out of this world' has landed in their little neighbourhood! Yes, the DUNWOOD PARK CLIMBING BOULDER has finally landed and has made a bit more of an impression than first envisaged.
The boulder is the result of a successful Stage 2 Heritage Lottery Fund Bid in 2010 by Oldham Council supported by Ryder Landscape Consultants (RLC). The works, which are currently onsite, include the restoration of key historic park features, the enhancement of recreational facilities for the local community and improvements to a main avenue through the park adjacent to the River Beal. RLC are acting as Contract Administrator on behalf of Oldham Council for the duration of the site works. We are now approximately half way through the construction phase and the park improvements are really starting to take shape (expect more blog entries as works progress!).
It isn't just the park that's getting a face lift. LEP Architects have been working on two new community building within the park and we have been working closely with them to ensure their successful integration into the wider proposals.
The boulder is the centre piece of a new woodland playscape and has been designed to include a number of different climbing routes of varying degrees of difficulty. Once the onsite installation is complete and it's been given a paint job (to make it look like rock!) the RLC team will be taking a trip to Oldham to try it out for ourselves, we'll be reporting back on how we got on in the near future…..watch this (outer) space.

A very successful drop-in session which we helped to organise and staff to promote the Water End Flood Alleviation Scheme in York, currently being undertaken by the Environment Agency.
Previous engagement events where met with little interest so this latest one was moved to St Barnabas School Hall to capture the school pick-up crowd. Over 70 people attended during the 4 hour event and were able to meet the design team for the scheme and discuss other aspects of flood warning and flood-proofing their properties.
We also designed the scheme information boards that were used at the event using our in house Graphic Designer.
The overall response to the scheme was positive and we look forward to working further with the Environment Agency to help mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of flooding and enhance public access and recreation in the Water End local.

Our recently completed pocket park located in Chester City Centre has played host to Chester's Big Wheel over the festive season. Sadly, today is the last day people will be able to take a trip on the wheel until it's hopeful return next year.
The park forms an important new public space at a major transport hub within Chester City Centre. The project, completed earlier this year, was designed as an arena space for such events as hosting the wheel and it certainly feels good to see it being used to full effect. I'm told the views over the Welsh mountains from the wheel were impressive, almost as impressive as the views of the planting below!
The design of the park was developed as a 'meanwhile' space utilising the land temporarily, although required to deliver maximum flexibility and aesthetic quality for public realm immediately adjacent to Chester's busy main bus terminal. Designs also had to provide for a new National Express interchange and facilitate pedestrian movement throughout the wider area and involved working with critical archaeological conditions that restricted the depth of excavation to protect known and unknown assets from the Roman town. The use of seating, shrub and tree planting and informal mounding creates a quieter public space in what is otherwise a busy area of the city centre.
We look forward to seeing what events Cheshire West and Chester Council choose to hold in the park in the future!
The RLC team.

Healthy & Happy All In One Pot
9:40am Thursday 11th August 2011 in Denise Phillips By Denise Phillips
One of the bonuses of being well known in the food world is that occasionally I am invited to try out new products, cooking preparation systems and ingredients.
This month, I was given the opportunity to be introduced to a life changing way of cooking courtesy of a unique health cooking system by Saladmaster. Perhaps I should say lifesaving because of how their specialist but easy-to-use cooking system is designed to combat the increasing rise of lifestyle diseases prevalent in today's society. In Britain today: • Every 2 minutes, a person is diagnosed with Cancer (Cancer Research UK) • Every 3 minutes, a person is diagnosed with diabetes (Diabetes UK) • Every 5 minutes, a person suffers a heart attack (British Heart Foundation) Prevention is always better than a cure but putting it into action can be difficult. That's where the Saladmaster specialist health cooking system comes in – made with Titanium 316TI Stainless steel they are specially designed to allow for cooking without any oil in order to reduce our intake of deadly fats - and amazingly they work with no water to retain more of the flavour and taste. The specially patented Vapo-valve system allows for an air-tight container which acts like a mini pressure cooker, raising the temperature in a natural way and retaining more of the natural goodness.
In fact, tests conducted by the University of Wisconsin Food and Science Department at the Hazelton Laboratory found that cooking with Saladmaster retains an astonishing 93% overall nutrition in the food compared to less than 20% in a regular saucepans.
Having tried Saladmaster for a couple of weeks, I can certainly say that my food cooks quicker and tastes better with none of the tainting that can occur from all the chemicals used with non-stick pans. I can see why they say it is a valuable investment in helping us feel better, look better and live better - it may just be what we all need to improve our daily nutrition and fight diet related diseases. Let's just hope that my trial period with the Saladmaster cooking system will continue just a little bit longer !

Immediately following the European market launch, the engine portfolio of the new BMW 3 Series Touring is also being extended. The BMW 328i Touring with 180 kW/245 hp, which was already available from the start, is now being complemented by a second petrol-driven variant - the 135 kW/184 hp BMW 320i Touring, which also fulfils the EU6 emission standard. The range of diesel models, which previously comprised the BMW 330d Touring with 190 kW/258 hp and the BMW 320d Touring with 135 kW/184 hp, is being supplemented by the BMW 318d Touring and the BMW 316d Touring. The new models are all fitted with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, with the option of an eight-speed automatic transmission for each model.
The 2-litre engine featured in the new petrol-driven model is also equipped with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology, maximum torque being 270 Nm. The new BMW 320i Touring accelerates from 0 to 100 km in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 233 km/h (automatic: 228 km/h). With average fuel consumption between 6.1 and 6.2 litres/100 km and CO2 emission between 143 and 145 grams per km, levels are even lower in conjunction with the automatic transmission than those of the model with a manual transmission, which are between 6.4 litres and 6.5 litres/100 km and between 149 and 152 grams per km (figures as per the EU test cycle, depending on selected tyre format).

Truffaut introduces his compilation of a series of interview with Hitchcock with an anecdote in which he silences a critic of Rear Window who claimed he couldn't see Rear Window's flaws because he was not from New York City. Truffaut responded by saying "Rear Window is not about Greenwich Village, it is a film about cinema, and I do know cinema."
This anecdote applies to Lifeboat and author Steinbeck's dislike of the final material. He criticized the fallacy of things like one man rowing the whole lifeboat, failing to acknowledge the cinematic and symbolic implications this has for Willy's percieved control over the other suvivors.
In the interview, Hitchcock says Lifeboat was an effort to test his theory that psycological films contained mostly close-ups or two/three-shots. He saught to find an environment that would force a director to shoot mostly those shots. This close-up style was later adopted by television, mainly due to the smaller screen size and not the psycological implications.
Hitchcock also here discusses his version of the allegory. He confrims that it is soley about the war (contradicting statements made by the producer). Kovac represented the communist way of dealing with the Nazis. He was the most vocal opponent to the captain, much in the same way early American Anti-Nazi Leagues had strong communist ties. Rittenhouse symbolized the Facist who is eager to give up control of the ship in a tumultous time to a dictator, much in the same way certain parts of society were, including the wealthy, eager to keep the status quo, and saw a dictator Roosevelt as their best hope.

Fring's mis-use of Skype software was damaging to our brand and reputation
An hour or so ago, Fring reported on their blog that we had blocked their access to Skype. I want to make one thing absolutely clear: this is untrue.
Fring was using Skype software in a way it wasn't designed to be used – and in a way which is in breach of Skype's API Terms of Use and End User License Agreement. We've been talking with Fring for some time to try to resolve this amicably.
However, over time, Fring's mis-use of our software was increasingly damaging our brand and reputation with our customers. On Friday, for example, Fring withdrew support for video calls over Skype on iOS 4 without warning, again damaging our brand and disappointing our customers, who have high expectations of the Skype experience.
We actively encourage developers to build products that work with Skype, acting, of course in accordance with our various API licences. At the same time, Skype will rigorously protect our brand and reputation, and those developers that do not comply with our terms will be subject to legal enforcement.
In this case, however, there is no truth to Fring's claims that Skype has blocked it. Fring made the decision to remove Skype functionality on its own.

Get it together folks at Skype and Fring! Now there is no way i can use the services i got already used to, on my new Galaxy S Droid. VERY disappointed!

Why you block Fring when there is no alternative? I can only use fring to make skype video call on my cellphone. If you really want to block them, could you release a new skype that supports video call first? Thanks

I can live with losing fring with skype on it, but please hurry up and make Skype for Android. Just upgraded from Nokia N97 mini which had native skype on + fring. Now im on HTC Desire, upgraded to Frogo 2.2 and no Skype Gutted!!!!!!!!

I was using fring for skype voice and video calls, it was really good quality on wifi and 3g. now no skype on fring. I start to use skype mobile application but voice quality of this skype application is really very bad. So i stop to using skype. Now me, my friends and my family, we start to calling directly from fring user. So now we all have fring user account. Fring voice call and video call both are really very good. Sorry skype good bye.

Dear (oh dear) Skype,
you are SO wrong. When people use third party multifunctional apps they do so knowing that they are cobbled together for best fit, and have NO reflection on the originator AT ALL. Do you see Facebook spitting their dummy because the interface for FB notifications on fring is rubbish compared to their own….NO! If people believe your app is better they will use it, and guess what the hundreds of comments to the contrary should show you they don't. Most of us are telling you we like skype and would like to use it with fring, if we can't most people like me will simply continue to use fring with other providers. Your app is not updated often enough and doesn't offer the multiple protocols that fring does, why use a 100 individual apps when 1 will (generally) do.
For a cutting edge technology company your living in the past. -
aistomin said 3 years ago
Well, you're probably are right about everything. But here's the newsflash: we, your clients don't care if you are right or wrong. We want to use skype with video on our mobile phones. And Fring just did it. Nice and smooth. Amongst other nice features. So, I don't who is right and who is wrong. Fring did something that Skype did not and that was cool.
jason.t.powell said 3 years ago
I used Fring over wifi while in the middle east to Skype back home to my family in the states with Skype credits I payed for. I can't do that with Skype alone because the Skype only works in the US on Verizon on 3G for the Incredible!!! My Skype credits are USELESS now. I'll be using another real VOIP provider. Anyway I can get a refund on my remaining credit?
s.srinath_uk said 3 years ago
Common SKYPE you can absolutely and clearly see from all the columns, people see through SKYPE!! SKYPE only dissapoint more of it own customers & more talking about its brand!? what's the point a BRAND WITH DISSAPOINTED CUSTOMERS?
moustiq77 said 3 years ago
In your statement, you mentioned that they were violating user agreements. If that was true, why the hell did you allow it for so long? Such a lame excuse and then you put all the blame on Fring. You are too greedy and have this petty envy to Fring who actually managed to implement things on so many platforms where you failed to do so. Good job Skype at pissing off thousands of people.
shelly.rau said 3 years ago
Perhaps if Skype made their software available and supportable for more phones (such as my Nokia 6120C) then people wouldn't have to result to using Fring. Skype is damaging their own brand, not Fring. Fring was and is a reliable service, not that I can say so in regards of Skype's mobile application – as I'm unable to use it.
Perhaps its time to listen to your customers and make a supportable, reliable application yourself – and take example from Fring on that account. -
petro_cz said 3 years ago
Hi Peter,
Fring is a program that works with the iPhone quickly, Skype is the original slow. Fring has the advantage that it allows multiple clients simultaneously ICQ, Skype, Google, SIP, etc.. Skype made a mistake, it's just vanity and envy. I hope you feel it's revenues, it makes you probably the only criterion. -
wade.jennings1 said 3 years ago
Hello Peter,
The issues you site are simply behind the scenes business complaints, and background noise to the average consumer. I personally would have zero knowledge of such a breach of your protocol or otherwise.
Point is; I've had Skype forever and NEVER used it unil Fring. You have essentially turned a mountain into a mole hill and lost thousands of new consumers to your product some of which hadn't even heard of your service prior.
It's a bummer, because instead of complaining and b****ing back and forth with one another, no matter who is causing the problem, it could've have been a great partnership with the potential of bringing new users to Skype.
Instead, you may have pissed off those consumers that think you are keeping your service away from them by removing it from Fring. No matter the reason…you hurt your own brand indirectly.
rbierings78 said 3 years ago
Robert Miller, do you really believe this BS yourself ? Or does your puppetmaster @ Skype HQ just instruct you to come up with this crap ?
Fring worked like a charm and delivered what it's customers/users where asking for. So well that it made all those nitwits at Skype look bad.
Very bad.
They couldn't stand the embarresment any longer at Skype. While they were developing all sort of useless functionality noone gives a shit about (One click advertisment, Skype Extra's… come one cut the crap!) Fring was doing the exciting stuff.
And now they just pulled the plug.
I pulled the plug too, no more Skype credit. Ever. -
hellasny1 said 3 years ago
Apparently Skype made a deal with the devil (in this case it's Verizon Wireless) and anyone or any app that upsets this balance will be dealt with decisively, whether customers like it or not. I pay for Skype (International) and I still have to deal with sound fading in and out during video calls but instead of fixing their technical issues and allowing their service to be available on all carriers, they now hide behind their legal mumbo jumbo to mask, again, their deal with the devil. I now plan to switch from Verizon Wireless, and hope that another, yet better app, comes along real soon to make Skype a thing of the past.
fivesboy said 3 years ago
At least Fring was providing a service that Skype itself was unprepared to do and now it seems that you've just pulled the rug from under their feet by hiding behind your API terms baloney. Skype as a company have disappointed me with your attitude towards Fring and I will be supporting any viable alternatives in the future.
michael_hovvang said 3 years ago
I can see that this discussion have been going on for a long time now and well I must say that I have started to look for alternatives to Skype now as I only want to use this for VOIP all my friends are on other medias anyway, so if there is no way that Skype is going to develop an application for android other then Verizons phones, well then I can take my business else were

The users of both applications can't really know who's lying.
The only sure thing is that it's a silly war that will leave both hurted with less subscribers..

Well you talk of Fring damaging your reputation so stop people having to use Fring, please, please, please bring out Skype for Android, there are many people that are not interested in the the Hype that is iPood. Then you can repair and increase your reputation in one easy moment.
alexchau219 said 3 years ago
Skype is just trying to block its competitors and Fring, who is acting as a cooperator, has been great in incorporating Skype and it actually makes me like to use Skype. Skype's move is actually damaging its own brand, and the introduce of GMail Phone may even take me further out of Skype. I am completely disappointed about Skype's decision.
otto4242 said 3 years ago
The fact that months have gone by without mobile video support of any kind for iPhones just goes to show that Skype doesn't care about their users.

Here is the problem, skype. I travel to Europe alot. This is why I invested in you and have used you for the past few years. I would love to use the skype mobile app on my android device except that it doesn't allow me to use my wifi connection (seriously? come on), which basically the reason why i have skype in the first place. Now i cant even get fring to use my skype account to make calls over wifi. I am now forced into getting a SIPgate account. Please fix this. Stop corporate tooling around.

I'm still waiting on a skype on my webos phone. Skype can be doing WAAAAAAAYYYY better then they are doing if they just listen to this very group of people. Imagine how much more business skype would have if they bought video chat to Symbian webos ios bbos android and other popular platforms… even if they don't have a front facing camera. Maybe even oovoo Aim and Yahoo i.m. video chat support cross platform skype on ps3 with video support. The possibility's are really endless all you guys have to do is step it up
songhengkaing said 3 years ago
I am waiting for skype mobile mobile for worldwide users not only for verizon customers in the US, can you do this soon as your promise? However, if you can't. why try to do something that really silly to block its own users by not allowing fring to do it for you? Know how silly Skype is… I will find alternative way to replace my skypeout solution. Maybe fring will come to replace it…
grangernillerz said 3 years ago
Hey Skype! You know, as you guys grow, you are starting to sound more and more like the companies that do stupid things then lie to their customers because shady business practices seem to be more profitable than, I dunno, making a product that actually works!
Skype for Windows Mobile, for instance…
I have the HD2. Not only does a scrounged up copy of the old Windows Mobile version of Skype run flawlessly, but if you reflash the phone to Android and get one of the skype-lite betas that leaked, it also works flawlessly. How about you guys stop trying to control the market, I mean, that never works. Apple tries a lot, mind you, Apple isn't as succesful as a company who sells really shitty and bugged out software called Microsoft, are they?
Also, what the hell is with you and verizon being butt-buddies? I know some contracts got signed and partnerships made, but Verizon is a terrible company whose customers hate them. How come Skype doesnt work over WiFi on the Droid? Hell, now that I think about it why would Verizon want people to use their data network anyway when there is another solution to save them bandwidth?
Skype is quickly turning into one of those shit companies that fuck over consumers just because they can, just because you guys are the leader in VoIP doesn't mean you have to act like monopolistic pigs, how about showing the people that made you the leader in VoIP some fucking respect and stop attacking our technology?
veriyanta said 3 years ago
It's been few months since you said you will release alternative skype client for non-verizon users.
How's this progressed?

Oh, come on Skype
Can't you recognise negative feedback when you see it? We expect you and Fring to sort this out! We don't need all this corporate posturing. Fring is so much better on Symbian since it is a one stop app for voip, twitter and IM. If your guys can't program this stuff let the people who can have a share of the cake.

Its a shame that another company innovated and implemented a feature that skype could have themselves offered to their customer base.
You guys can take over the market of video calling/ conferencing – and all you need is Software supporting Apple OS and iOS, Microsoft OS, Android, Symbian and Linux. Call me ignorant, but somehow for a company with over USD700 Million in revenue and and 500 Million users I don't exactly see this as a big hurdle. Sounds to me more like bad corporate management, if anything.
keiran.edmunds said 3 years ago
Get with the program skype and give us our open Android app, because if you don't, then watch Google come through and take out Skype with their own skype clone called "gaggle" that will be custom made for Android, yet also allow iphone, Nokia et al access with apps.
Your customer base will almost vanish overnight and within 18 months you will be a failed dotcom, do you not realise this?
Adapt, or die, this is the 21st century in communications. As for being too focused on the US and locking in mobile carriers…fine, do it, but the rest of the world still wants to use Skype when we can and without being locked into carriers, or non wifi access. Seriously though, what is the point of VOIP communication if you block skype access to wifi and force traffic through a carrier?
Did the muppet that thought up that bright idea get a promotion for the initial extra revenue that skype would gain, or did they get sent back tot the mail room for the significant damage to the Skype brand name?

I'm one of the millions of Galaxy S owners out there, who used to be an avid Skype supported and adopter. Hey my uncle was even on prime time TV talking about skype in the early days because of my influence.
but skype has made some pretty poor decisions in the past, like not allowing two accounts to be paid for with by the same credit card, so husband and wife were no both able to have skype out accounts, but what really killed skype for me is no Android support for my Galaxy S.
I've switched over to google now, and I don't mind at all, it's not as pretty as skype, but it's not as much of a resource hog either.
It doesn't do video on my samsung, but I don't care, I does voice.
I used voice, secondarily, but mainly chat, who ever supplies me with an awesome reliable text chat experience gets my voice calls by default.
I have lots of skype credit, but it's just sitting idle now, not more looking at a subscription for me, I'm slowly converting my family, friends and business contacts to use google chat, because they can reliably contact me, 24/7.Sorry skype, I really did like your product, but it's been way too little, too late.
I haven't even said if you are looking at fixing your new app for the galaxy s anytime soon.
sidki.mohamed2 said 3 years ago
I'm sure that the majority of people are using Fring] for Skype even if you are issued your app, there will be no problem … But the fact that kill competition and after the show but nothing worse than that.
Skype today sad, very sad day

What a great place to enjoy NH from. The innkeepers take great pride in their facility and make sure that you enjoy your stay and get to see all the... local sights. Providing maps and recommended driving routes to enjoy the scenery was an especially thoughtful touch. My wife was impressed that there were nice wine glasses available for her evening night cap in the room - something that we have not seen in fancy hotels! We will definitely be going back. por AZbizman de Phoenix el 02/11/2013

06/13/2012 (12:00 - 14:00) · Cologne · University zu Köln
Amerika Haus NRW Lecture
Cologne: »A House Divided. Polarization and its Effects«
with Dr. Jim Thomson, President em., RAND CorporationObamacare, government debt, Guantánamo – political and reform gridlock weigh on President Obama's credibility. Where the tug war between President and Congress comes from, how this phenomenon develops and what impact it has on the legislative process were the topics of Dr. Jim Thomson's presentation. At the Amerika Haus e.V. NRW's invitation in coopeartion with the Jean Monnet Chair of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wessels, University of Cologne, the former RAND Corporation's President gave an Amerika Haus NRW Lecture on his study "A House Divided. Polarization and its Effects" on June 13, 2012 at the University of Cologne, addressing the polarization of political parties, its causes and impacts.
In order to explain his findings, Dr. Thomson began his presentation by discussing how the Constitution shapes American politics. Thus, not only the separation of powers but also the federal character of the American polity controls the abuse of power by a few, as intended by federalists such as Madison. However, this type of geographically-based representation and weighted voting promotes in fact a two-party system which again stimulates a polarization of political positions.
With that said the phenomenon of polarization and its effects is not a new one but developed rather gradually. To what concept then does the term polarization refer in this case? According to Dr. Thomson it is essential to first understand the effect it has on partisan loyalties in Congress. Showing diagrams, Dr. Thomson illustrated this development. In the 1970s there was still a considerable amount of congressmen constituting a so called "Zone of Bipartisanship" and did not necessarily vote in accordance with their party membership. As intended by Madison, this promoted political compromise. Looking at the 103rd Congress in the early 90s though, this kind of overlapping partisan interests has ceased significantly. From then on Democratic and Republican representatives keep diverging ideologically from one another.
Why is that? Dr. Thomson hypothesizes that polarization within Congress depends on the geographical, demographical, and cultural background of its representatives. That is, the congressmen appear to be a model of society as a whole, a development fostered by the geographically shaped election system. Therefore, Dr. Thomson assumes that ideological attitudes represented in a particular region, like a County, can be utilized to predict the vote of its congressman and the other way around.
As the legislative process is considerably tied to geographical representation, social polarization reflects along ideological edges within Congress. This is why a lack of willingness to compromise occurs further inhibiting not only the congressional but due to the separation of power also the presidential ability to act. Since this phenomenon has developed gradually, it did not have such a strong effect on the presidency of Bill Clinton, but a recognizable higher impact on George W. Bush's scope, and currently an even stronger effect on President Obama's agenda.
Considering policies, this process of polarization does not only shape domestic policy issues such as gun, migration, or abortion law and budget policy in general but also influences the American foreign policy and thus the transatlantic relations.
However, even though polarization and political gridlock shape American politics in general and Barack Obama's presidency in particular, Dr. Thomson identifies social trends to be optimistic about. The electoral law reforms in California, for example, or the recognizable amount of independent and moderate voters, who decide upon content and without party affiliation or ideology, might ease the phenomenon of polarization.
Inspired by Dr. Thomson's sophisticated yet still descriptive presentation the guests took their chance and engaged into a discussion with the speaker who enjoyed answering questions on the Tea Party's as well as the media's impact, President Obama's intended reforms, and Dr. Thomson's study and methodological approach.
Dr. Jim Thomson holds a Ph.D in physics, was member of the National Security Council as well as of the Department of Defense, and most recently President of the RAND Corporation from 1989 to 2011.

This is probably an old question but here goes anyway.
DOes anybody have a "rule of thumb" for opt in verification %.
I am using Aweber to email captured emails for Google PPC, and am experiencing a low, I Think, actual verification %.
Is this a deliverability issue or a " eliminate tire kickers issue". I have included capture page for your reference
This is going to vary massively, I can get anything from 10% to 99% depending on where I'm getting my data from, and how the sign-up process is designed.
In your case I'd suggest you change your subject line:
From: Leo Hanes
subject: RESPONSE REQUIRED: Confirm your request for information from blogging-offerI've no idea who Leo Hanes is, and most people won't see the words 'blogging offer' as it's too far along the subject line. I was looking out for this email and still nearly wrote it off as spam.
There's too many variables to give you a yardstick.
I guess you'd like a higher level of registration!
What's your initial clickthrough rate like? As sgpratley suggests, it would be worth testing changes to your landing page.
I'd try to make the Guide seem as substantial as possible, with a picture, quotes, and testimonials.
And try to make the landing page as trustworthy as possible so that folk are more willing to give you their details.
Test some variations & see what works best. (Change one thing at a time so that you know what made a difference!)One question I'd ask is... is there a Blog to go with the manual? Can ppc visitors see it - I'd think that would go a long way to building credibility & credentials.
good luck
Thanks SGPratley
Sorry it took me so long to acknowledge your response.
So I should change subject line to put "Blogging Offer " at front end then?
And as most people will not remember "Leo Hanes" in the "FROM" should I put "Blogging Offer" in th efrom line somehow
I take from your response that the issue lies in getting people to open the confirmation emails after they opted in, assuming they actually got delivered
Thanks for the help
Leo Hanes
List Building Strategies
Hello Will
Sorry I took so long to acknowledge your help.
The CTR at the time for Google PPC was 3.98% search, and .06% content.
I had made changes to the capture page offering a bonus, but no significant change in the verification rate resulted,,,,verified optins remained approximately 50% of the original optin, in other words 50% never confirmed.
I did delay the delivery of the free bonus to only include verified optins, that seemed to help a little, and did not reward optins that did not confirm.
I did add privacy and contact info to capture page. And yes there is a blog that could be associated with the offer http://list-building-strategies.blogspot.com
I have since ended this specific Google PPC campaign as the ROI simply did not suffice.
Again thanks for taking the time to comment

Appearance: Pours a clear orange tinted amber with a 3 finger tan colored head. Smell: This is the part about the beer that really throws me for a loop. While there are moderate amounts of toasty malts, there is a deeply and overwhelming fruity aroma full of black cherry, plum, dates and a lot of medicinal scents. It almost reminds me of cherry cough syrup. Not a good way to start. Taste: I'm really glad the taste of this beer didn't follow the nose. There's a prominent grassiness from the hops, but that is soon followed by a caramel toffee sweetness that balances it out nicely. Once you swallow is when those darker flavors start to show themselves in the taste, and the beer definitely finishes well with a pleasantly deep fruity aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Fizzy. Overall: In it's entirety it would be hard to call this a bad beer. The flavors a deep and complex, but it's also very sessionable and easy to drink. The flavors present aren't really my thing, but I know some people who might be into a brew like this. Probably for someone who is just getting into craft beer.

By Jaclyn Shambaugh Staff writer
Pine Forest senior Shirlee Evans, fresh off her team's 3-0 win over Terry Sanford to claim the Mid-South 4-A Conference regular-season title, took a minute to reflect on her high school career.
"From my freshman year to now, we changed. We grew to become better," Evans said. "For us to win the conference championship, it's amazing."
The championship is the first outright title for the Trojans, who were co-champions last year with the Bulldogs.
Pine Forest won the game at home Thursday in dominant fashion, taking the match in straight sets 25-22, 25-22 and 25-21.
The win puts Pine Forest (18-0, 11-0 Mid-South) a victory away from a perfect regular season. The Trojans will travel to Jack Britt on Tuesday for their final regular-season match.
Evans registered six kills in the contest, bettered only by teammate Jayde Jacobs, who struck seven.
Coach Jeff Bruner said his team took a more defensive approach to this match than the first time the teams met, when the Bulldogs pushed the game to five sets before the Trojans won.
"Terry Sanford had a great game plan for us the first time," the coach said. "We backed off some of our blockers this time, so we'd have more people playing defense in the back of the court."
Ashley May and Jacqueline Pope each had 11 digs on the night.
Helping Pine Forest along the way was sluggish play by the Bulldogs, who committed errors at key times to swing momentum in the Trojans' favor at the end of each set.
"We got outplayed," Bulldogs coach Kelly Parker said. "We didn't show up. We didn't execute."
The Bulldogs (17-3, 10-2 Mid-South) finish the regular season in second place.
Bruner also said that playing at home gave his players a boost.
"I think it helped that we were at home and had the crowd support," Bruner said. "I think the girls felt a little more comfortable here."
Pine Forest will remain at home throughout the Mid-South Conference tournament, which starts next week.
First-round matches will be played at the higher seed. Then, Pine Forest will host the semifinal and final rounds.
