Misleading food labels prompt FDA action
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
16 comments posted
In the past few weeks, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent warnings to 17 manufacturers about false or misleading nutrition information on the food labels of 22 of their products. The products cited include juices, teas, ice creams, baby foods, olive oil, salad dressings and vegetable shortening.
Why is this important? More and more shoppers are using food labels to make important food choices — and we should expect food labels to be truthful, not misleading. At the very least, it's irritating to consume "extra light" olive oil thinking that "light" means lower in fat and calories only to find that it's only "light" in color or taste. At worst, it would be tragic to have a heart attack and discover that "trans-fat-free" foods high in saturated fat were clogging your arteries.
Examples of misleading claims on food labels include:
Claim: "Extra Light Olive Oil."
Violation: The term "light" is misleading because the fat content is not reduced by 50 percent compared to a similar appropriate reference food. (The manufacturer recently altered the label to read "Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil.")
Claim: "0 grams trans fat"
Violation: The products cited do not have disclosure statements alerting consumers that the products have significant levels of saturated and total fat.
Claim: "No added refined sugar," "Plus fiber" or "Plus calcium" on baby food labels
Violation: Nutrient claims are not allowed on products intended for children younger than 2 years of age because dietary levels have not been established for this age group.
Manufacturers were given 15 days to inform the FDA about their plans to correct the violations. If the response is not satisfactory, the result could be injunctions against the manufacturers including product seizures.
I'm glad to see the FDA stepping up to enforce truth in labeling. What's your take? What do you find confusing about food labels?

I just received my Girl Scout Cookie order and each product (3) lists clearly "partially Hydrogenated fats" but also claims in nutrition information "0 trans fats" This is not only false but also misleading and has been the case for years. How do they get away with that? Cookies have been baked and supplied by Little Brownie Bakers, Louisville, Ky, for 35 years according to them.

I agree. I noticed a bag of chocolate pretzels with huge letters on the outside "0 grams transfat!"... Of course, there was no mention on the front label that there was 20 grams of fat. Now could I eat it? Personally, I could afford to. But the point is, don't mislead people. I can afford to eat that, but I won't, because I do not want to support a company that is intentionally misleading people. I think calorie counting is a little silly - everybody should get out and walk and stay active, then you won't need to count every calorie. But if there's one thing I hate, it's deception.

The best report on this topic of reforming nutritional labeling is published by the "Center for Science in the Public Interest. It is titled "Food Labeling Chaos Report" My favorite nutritional labeling fraud is on non-stick food spray. A serving is a 1/4 second spray. There are about 500 servings in a can. My wife and I joke about whether we want 15 or 20 servings per steak. Perhaps the best way to explain nutritional information is to list total weight per container;total weight of component;and percentage of the food item. The more hazardous the item, like salt, the more accurate the measurement needs to be. Trans-fat and Saturated fat should be accurate to 0.1G, Salt to 0.01G Use-by-dates and other important packaging information should be standardized, and more detailed information needs to go into a national-internet accessible database. Serving size should be eliminated, or be determined by actual use. It labeling requirements are too large to fit, add a flap like on insecticides or medicines.

Carb counting leaves me with questions. Some foods will say something like: 45 carbs= 23 g / fiber & 2 g / sugar. What are the other 25 carbs made of and what does it do to my body?

The FDA needs to make food manufactures disclose information on genetically modified foods. A simple label on the package would be fine. I am amazed that the FDA is not "concerned" about this health hazard.

Many products now have nutrition information labels that list sucralose AND regular sugar. Often there are misleading advertisements on the front of the packages regarding the sucralose (indicating that sucralose is a better choice than regular sugar), yet there is regular sugar included in the ingredients as well. Personally, having both sugars in a product causes me trouble because I have very severe reactions to sucralose, so I need products that have either one or the other but not both.

parkay 0 fat free/ 0 calories/ 0 fat bottle is very misleading. a lot of buyers think there is 0 everything no matter how much you use. there is almost 100 grams of fat & almost 1000 calories in 1 bottle. there are buyers that use a bottle of this a day that are suppose to be cutting out fat because of health issues & trying to lose weight not knowing why they're not. i have added half of the bottle in dishes thinking it was fat free, until i resently googled it to see if it was healthy. now, bob green has came out with a similar bottle that is misleading in the same way! they know they are deceiving you and get by with it with the FDA by 1 spray having less than 5 grams. there should be some way to protect consumers, the FDA sure isn't doin it!

It is in the interest of consumers to see posted, the names of companies that use misleading claims on food labels. This would enable consumers to write their own letters of censure to the companies, which may act as a deterrent and warning to the violating companies to cease and desist. Because the names of the violating companies are not made public,some consumers mistakenly believe that the FDA or similar govenment regulatory bodies that act in the public interest are protecting the corporate interest.

It is in the consumers' interest to post the names of manufacturers who violate FDA regulations through misleading food labels. Such tactics attempt to deceive consumers so it is fitting that consumers know the identities of these companies so that the consumers can send letters of censure to them. vhg

I have always enjoyed soup and looked for the "healthy" labeled cans when shopping. Since taking care to read nutritional information on canned and packaged products, I find that canned soup is among the worst in the high amounts of sodium contained. This is also true in the so called "healthy" types. I now make my own soup and no longer purchase any canned "mislabeled" brands. I feel this is highly misleading and insults the shoppers' intelligence.

Good post. However, I read a Q&A from Katherine Zeratsky about moldy cheese in which she asserts, without reference to any evidence, "Also, don't eat cheese made from unpasteurized (raw) milk. Raw milk and cheeses may contain harmful bacteria and aren't safe to eat, drink or use in cooking." This is a patently false statement. 100 years ago, pasteurization may have been necessary, but raw milk and raw milk cheeses are entirely safe to consume. Indeed, they are healthier than their industrialized cousins (even organics).

Enabling Trade: Valuing Growth Opportunities
Global Enabling Trade Report 2012
Global Enabling Trade Report 2012
Global Enabling Trade Report 2012
"Enabling Trade: Valuing Growth Opportunities" finds that reducing supply chain barriers can increase global GDP up to 6 times more than removing all import tariffs. Such large increases in GDP would be associated with positive effects on unemployment, potentially adding millions of jobs to the global workforce. The report builds on eighteen industry case examples, spanning multiple industries and regions, to understand on-the-ground implications of supply chain barriers and the policy implications resulting. Companies must recognize and manage supply chain costs, and governments should take a holistic approach that considers the entire supply chain, focusing on all policies that impact supply chain efficiency to improve national competitiveness.
Under the theme "Reducing Supply Chain Barriers", The Global Enabling Trade Report 2012 assesses 132 economies worldwide, exploring how the globalization of value chains impacts measurement of trade and trade policies. Read the full press release for more information.
At the core of the report is the Enabling Trade Index, which ranks the countries on a range of factors. This year, Singapore came out on top, followed by Hong Kong SAR. Denmark and Sweden, with their small, open economies, entered the top 10, placing 3rd and 4th, respectively. Access the full rankings and data platform.
Results from the report reflect a world where trade is no longer dominated by developed economies, but increasingly concentrated with and among emerging economies, highlighting the role trade can play in economic growth and poverty reduction. Read the full report.

The Shreveport Times THE SHREVEPORT TIMES Sunday, July 12, 1970 Metropolitan News Section C, Page Ona Geneticist Seeking Answers To Birth Defects Mysteries By Margaret Martin Times Medical Writer "We have a mongoloid child. What are our chances of having others?" "We are planning to get married. There is a history of cystic fibrosis in our family. Will our children be affected?" "Our concern lies in the future of our normal children. Are they likely to have offspring with the abnormality of our youngest child?" These are the questions genetic counselors try to answer. And, this fall, Ark-La-Tex residents will be seeking answers to similar questions at the Birth Defects and Genetic Counseling Center of Louisiana State University Medical School at Shreveport. In charge of the center is Dr. Richard C. Juberg, a geneticist who comes to Shreveport from Portland, Ore., where he was associate professor of medical genetics and pediatrics and in the Crippled Children's Division of the University of Oregon. The center will be open for business this fail in an office being renovated at the LSU-owned Linwood Apartment com-plex, according to Dr. Joseph Little, head of the pediatrics department. Genetic counseling isn't the only or even the main function of the center, says Dr. Jugert, but he considers it one of the most important. A childless couple comes to ask why they haven't had children after several years of marriage. In a simple laboratory procedure, an experienced cytologist can determine in a matter of minutes the likelihood of a genetic oagin for infertili-ty. A couple considering marriage and are already related wonder about the effects this may have on their children. The geneticist might be asked to estimate racial ancestry, or to establish the most likely diagnosis in twins — identical or fraternal, or he may serve as a medical legal consultant for the deter-mination of paternal identity. For whatever reason a couple comes to the genetic counselor, Dr. Juberg will take an exhaustive family history. The couple is examined, sometimes blood samples are taken and at times chromosomes are analyzed and evaluated. From the studies, the geneticists gives the couple facts on the particular problem. Dr. Juberg emphasized that the role of genetics counselor ("and, I don't really like that word counselor. Use provider of information.") is to advise. "We tell them the facts and let them make up their own mind about having children," he explained. There are three major accomplish-ments of such counseling, according to Dr. Juberg: 1. Establish what is known and what isn't, to confirm a few impressions, and to dispel many others. Then, regardless of what risk figure is eventually quoted, at least it represents something reasonably exact and it has come from a reliable source. 2. An attempt to separate what is genetic from that which is not genetic. 3. To correct misinformation, dispel fear and absolve guilt feelings. Three other areas which the birth defects center will be concerned with are investigative, diagnostic and threapeutic. In the diagnostic process, the genetist will be "defining the birth defects in any patient referred to the clinic." Role of Adviser The physician examines the patient to see if he has a known defect. He does this prognostically, "to let the parents know what the future holds for the person," as well as genetically "for they may wonder the heritability of the specific defect and whether their future children will be similalry affected." Nor will the geneticist make the studies all by himself. Dr. Juberg stressed the need for other specialities in coming to a diagnoses, including the radiologist, urologist and the gynecologist. In the rehabilitative phase, "we will advise the patient's physician on methods which can be used to correct the defect, medically or surgically," in an effort to "make a useful citizen out of the person, to try to make his life as pleasant as long as we can." Active in the therapeutic phase of the Brith Defects Center will be the surgeon who can mend the cleft palate or the speech therapist who will aid the patient in correcting his sj>eech. The aspect of the center which will affect generations of unborn children and their children is the investigative aspect. Dr. Juberg is especially interested in the research of population genetics. In his laboratory, Dr. Juberg will attempt to "determine the cause of birth defects." "And," he added, "ultimately, we would like to prevent birth defects." In studying population genetics, the researchist will look at various causative factors in defects, such as environment and heredity. "Some of the defects follow ordinary laws of genetics. "But is it becoming increasingly apparent that many birth defects which are congenital malformations to some extent are polygenic, that is, several genes contribute to the causation," he added. Included among those defects caused by polygenes are the cleft palate and congential dislocation of the hip. Generally these types of gene defects don't follow the ordinary path of inheritance, he said. "We will use population genetics to describe the causation and ultimately w would like to prevent birth defects," he added. Dr. Juberg left academic medicine for genetics 10 years ago, "When one of my professors at the University of Chicago said the field was going to be much more important in the next few years." "He cited the diminishing importance of infectious diseases and suggested I consider taking a course in genetics. I did," said Dr. Jubrg. , Dr. Jugerg, 40, received the Ph.D. and the M. S. in human genetics and the M. D. from the University of Michigan and the B. A. from Carleton College, Northfield, Minn. He interned at Charity Hospital, New Orleans, and took his residency in pediatrics at Tulane University, Charity Hospital and the University of Chicago Clinic. He served as a post doctoral Fellow of Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, LaRabida-University of Chicago-Sanitari-um, and was a postdoctoral Fellotw of the U.S. Public Health Service at the University of Michigan. He also served as assistant professor of pediatrics at West Virginia University. He is a member of numerous organiza-tions, including the American Society of Human Genetics, the American Eugenics Society, and the Wester Society for Pediatrics Research. He received a $27,000 grant from the Appalachian Laboratory for Occupational Respiratory Disease of the Institute for Environmental Health Sciences of the National Instiutes of Health for "A Genetic Evaluation of Bituminous Coal Miners." Dr. Juber has published in numerous professional journals. He and his wife, the former Betty Lou Eisemann, have five children. Genetic Counseling will be a part of the program of the Birth Defects and Genetic Counseling Center of Louisiana State University Medical School at Shreveport. Dr. Richard C. Juberg draws a diagram as he discusses the center with Mrs. H. F. Falbaum, president of the Junior League of Shreveport. The League has donated $5,000 to the center, which will open this fall.

Quality and Outcomes - Sports Medicine
Time to Next Appointment - Children's Hospital of Wisconsin specialty clinic in Greenfield
Why we measure it - Scheduling first-time appointments with a new specialist can sometimes take a while. We want our new patients to be able to make appointments to see our sports medicine specialists within 14 days or less. Patients with urgent health problems are seen immediately.
What this means - We calculate our time to next appointment data by looking at the third next available appointment for new patients. Tracking the third next available appointment gives us a better look at how long on average it takes to make a first appointment. Clinics across the country use this rule to collect their data. We are currently meeting our goal in scheduling new patient appointments in 14 days or less.
About the data - These data show the number of days to schedule a new, nonurgent appointment.
Related dimensions of care:
What we're doing to provide the best care:
- We want to make sure our patients are seen at their scheduled appointment time. We used patient feedback and Lean principles, techniques used to improve process flow, to design our clinic, decrease wait times and run our clinics more efficiently.
- Children's Hospital of Wisconsin specialty clinic in Greenfield, Wis. includes a state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym. We offer a variety of high-tech equipment options to help meet each athlete's unique need.
- This clinic is conveniently located and offers patients and families easier parking options and reduces the number of trips to our hospital location.

- To schedule or reschedule an appointment with our sports medicine specialists, call Central Scheduling at (877) 607-5280 or (414) 607-5280.
- Take a virtual tour of the hospital before scheduling a first appointment.
- Call your insurance company before your visit. You may need a referral to see our specialists.
- Come 15 minutes before your child's appointment so we can gather necessary information from you before your child sees the doctor.
- Bring a list of questions to your child's appointment. We are happy to answer any questions or concerns you have during the visit.
- Bring a full list of your child's medicines. Be sure to include over-the-counter medicines like vitamins and supplements.

I was out on the turnpike westbound near Morgantown PA... That's about 26 miles west of Philly.
They were reporting up to 50 cars in a chain reaction crash with at least one fatality. We sat in one spot on the turnpike for four hours!
Hope everyone's okay. Thoughts out to you.
I took some photos...

Can I use your address for my licensing? Will you hang my license?
Yes, once you sign up you can use Davinci Virtual for your licensing. Some industries are limited, but the majority of our clients get their licensing approved with our address without any problems. Many of our centers will even hang your business license at the location. Please call us at 888-863-3423 for specifics on each center.
How much office time can I get each month?
You can get as much office time or conference room access as you like each month. Package vary by location. You can pay by the hour, half day, or full day. Or some locations give you the option to purchase packages that you can use by the hour or by the day. Some locations even include this time with the base price. Please call 888-863-3423 to review rates and packages at your locations of interest.
What additional costs are there for Receptionist Services?
Unlike our competitors our base rate is all inclusive. You don't need to worry about paying additional for long distance, toll free minutes, call patching, voicemail, faxes, conference calling, etc. Even the scheduling, order processing, and outbound sales/customer service calls done by our receptionists are included in the base rate. The only additional cost you would ever see is based on call volume. Please call 888-863-3423 to review your call volume needs with a Davinci team member.
Can I use you as a registered agent for incorporation purposes?
Yes, you can use our address as your registered business address. If you are required to have a resident or registered agent at your local office, some of our locations do offer this service for an additional cost. Please call 888-863-3423 to get specifics on the location of your choice.
How does the forwarding work?
We can forward calls to up to 100 employees or phone numbers you have at no additional charge. Most companies charge an extra fee to forward calls to multiple people or places – but Davinci doesn't. We also include follow-me find-me solutions where our receptionists will call office lines, cell phones, home office lines, etc. until the desired party is reached. There is also schedule based forwarding online, so you have the power to control how, where, and when your calls and messages are forwarded. It's a very simple process that our customer service team will customize with you at set-up. No additional charge for any of this.
What happens if I go over my minutes?
We can always upgrade your package retroactively. We are very flexible that way and will make sure at the end of each month you are on the most economical plan for your usage. We will call you at the end of each month to evaluate your usage if you need to upgrade. Additional live receptionist time is only 1.5 cents per second. Additional automated minutes are only .10 cents per minute.
What additional costs are there for Location Services?
For address services additional costs can include conference room or day office use, mail forwarding, copies, etc. These variable charges differ by location, please call 888-863-3423 for specific information regarding the location of your choice.
What are the main features included for Live Receptionist Services?
For Live Communications Packages:
- Live team of professionals to handle incoming calls
- Call forwarding with caller ID
- Call announcing and screening
- Toll-free & local phone and fax numbers included
- Appointment setting and/or order taking capabilities
- Outbound customer service or sales calls
- Caller tracking & information logging
- Voicemail, and voicemail to email
- Complimentary conference call platform (no minute charges)
- eFax with fax to email
Do you provide phone numbers or can I use an existing number I have?
Davinci includes 2 numbers for free with all of our plans. You can choose whether these two numbers are toll-free or local numbers. These 2 numbers also work as fax to email numbers at the same time. Not all local area codes are available. Please check the website or call 888-863-3423 to verify if the area code you want is available. If you have existing numbers you would like to continue to use, you can forward those to us at no cost. If you wish us to go a step further and have us take ownership of your current number there is a one-time $75 porting fee which allows us to purchase your number from your existing provider. If you have us port your number, this means you no longer need to pay your current provider for that number as it would be considered 1 of the 2 free numbers Davinci includes for you. If you need a vanity number that spells something (example 1-800-DAVINCI) there is a onetime $100 set up fee for us to obtain this number for you. If you need an international phone/fax number it is $49.95 per month. So yes, we can work with existing numbers you have and provide you new numbers at no cost.
How does the scheduling work?
Our receptionists use a web-based calendar that you will have access to view in real time. This calendar is also syncable and can communicate directly with your current outlook, palm-pilot, act, or other syncable calendaring system. It's your choice if you'd like to begin using the complimentary calendar we include with the system or if you'd like to continue using your current working calendar.
How do the receptionists process orders for me?
Our team will have links to your website at their fingertips each time a client calls you. They can process your clients orders online, directly through your website. Or they can simply log caller information and email it to you directly if you prefer. Please call 888-863-3423 to discuss your specific order needs to ensure we can match them. It's all very flexible.
What is the cost to use the conference room at your virtual office site?
We offer over 850 virtual office locations. The prices vary by location. Please contact Davinci Virtual Customer Care or you can go online to DavinciMeetingRooms.com to check rates at specific metting & conference facilities.
How do you handle solicitors, and do these calls count toward the minutes in my package?
Our receptionists will screen for solicitors and we have the ability to block their numbers if necessary.
What is the cost for Virtual Address alone?
This will depend on the location that is chosen. Please refer to our location search for details.
What is the cost for Live Virtual Receptionist answering alone?
This will depend on the package that is purchased. Please refer to our list of packages for details.
Can I rent a conference room for a one-time use?
Yes, you can - day office time and conference room time is available at almost all our locations for an hourly fee. Contact your account manager or go to DavinciMeetingRooms.com for more information.
What are the main features included for Location Services?
- Professional business address
- Mail & package receipt, dedicated locking mail box on site in most locations
- Mail forwarding on request (daily, weekly, or monthly) cost of postage additional

- Access to private day offices & conference rooms at hourly rates ($25+)

How soon can my new address be set-up?
If you sign up for a virtual office location, we do require a completed & notarized CMRA mail form before set-up is complete. After that form is received and submitted, set-up typically takes 48 hours.
How soon can my communications package be set-up?
Our set-up is instant. Once you sign up online your number is immediately active and our live team is poised to handle your calls. We get your personalized call flow typically programmed 1-2 days after receiving it back from you.
How do I pay?
We accept credit and / or debit card payments. We cannot accept check, or cash payments. This also adds an extra level of convenience because you don't have to worry about mailing in a check or late payments. All sign-ups need to be done online or over the phone at 888-863-3423. We cannot accomodate in-person sign-ups.
Can I get my numbers now and start services later?
Unfortunately our numbers live in a large bank, and in order for us to reserve or hold a number we have to activate that account at that time.
Can I take my Davinci Virtual number with me when I cancel my services?
It depends on the type of numbers you use in our system and how they were originally set up. Please call Davinci at 866-875-7848 to review your options.
How do the minute packages work?
We actually base our call volume on per second increments, not per minute increments. So if we answer and forward a call in 3 seconds, it only counts as 3 seconds of live receptionist time. Unlike most of our competitors, we do not round up to the nearest minute. So the $99 package actually includes 3,000 seconds of live receptionist time. We've also included unlimited automated minutes (long distance minutes) with every live receptionist minute plan. Those minutes are included to cover any long-distance fees, toll-free charges, or call patching fees that most of our competitors will charge you extra for.
Is there a set-up fee for Communication Services?
Automated Phone Services – No
Live Receptionist Services - $75 one time (reduced to $50 if bought with LBI)
Live Web Chat $50 set-up fee
Is there a set-up fee for Location Services?
Local Business Identity Virtual Office Address - $125 one time
If I need this address to obtain a line of credit with my bank, are you addresses registered with Dunn & Bradstreet?
Yes, Davinci currently is listed with Dunn & Bradstreet. You can use our address with your bank to obtain a line of credit.
What greeting will my callers hear?
You can select what personalized greeting the receptionists say when they greet your callers. It can be as long or short as you'd like and customized in any way. If you are just working with our automated system, your callers can hear a recorded name or personalized greeting recorded by you or the Davinci team or ringing only.
How does the voicemail system work?
Included with each phone package is a voicemail system. You or the Davinci team can record a main greeting for your voicemail box. If clients leave you messages, you can dial into the system to listen to them, or you can have the voicemails sent to you in a sound file with the date, time, and phone number of the call stamped. You can forward your voicemails emailed to multiple email accounts.
What hours do you answer calls live?
Our live receptionist team answers calls for you during coast to coast business hours (8 am - 8 pm EST) Monday through Friday. 24x7 automated support is included complimentary.
How do the calls work after-hours?
After live-answering-hours, your virtual account includes a wonderful automated attendant that will still greet your callers with a personalized greeting. The automated system can screen and forward calls, or simply put your callers into voicemail. The auto system can have a dial by name directory that goes to 7 numbers that all go to the same place, or it can forward to up to 7 different places but it would be all simultaneously or in round robin fashion. If you need a dial by name or department directory after hours that forward to different places, you would need to buy additional voicemail boxes. $29.95 for box #2, $19.95 for any additional box after that. There is a $50 set-up fee for voicemail boxes.
How does the included email account work?
When you sign up for live or automated phone service with Davinci, you get a personalized email account firstname.lastname@example.com. This account stores and forwards your emails, faxes, voicemails, contacts, tasks, and is also how you access your conference calling platform. You can use this as your primary email account, or you can sync your current email service with this one and use this email account as the forwarding engine for your information.
How does the fax service and fax forwarding work?
The toll-free or local number included with your account functions as a phone and fax number. Just give your contacts your Davinci number. The system will recognize whether it is a voice caller or whether it is a fax that it needs to forward. You can then receive your fax via email, or it can forward the fax to a current in-house fax machine if you prefer. Faxes do not cost you anything additional and are included in the base rate. A typical fax page is equal to 1 automated minute. 10 cents per page for overages.
What is Find Me Follow Me?
Think of Find Me Follow Me as a virtual phone locating service. When someone dials your office phone number they can only reach you if you happen to be at your desk. If they wish to speak to you, they will then have to dial your cell phone, or home phone next. This is a time consuming and frustrating process for some. Plus, if you miss an important call, you will now have to return a Voicemail. The Find Me Follow Me feature allows your callers to reach you by simply dialing one number. When a callers dials this virtual number, this receptionist and/or system checks your schedule, then begins to dial phone numbers based on your settings. For example: I usually work a Monday thru Friday 9-5 work week. I also work from home time to time. My schedule is quite flexible. There is no guarantee that I will be sitting at my desk each Wednesday morning. I also have a cell phone which I carry with me everywhere I go. When someone calls me during the work week they dial my virtual number. I have the system set up to first dial the phone number at my desk in the office. If I do not answer the phone, I have the system set up to then ring both my home phone number and my cell phone at the same time. The caller does not have to do anything but wait for me to answer the phone. If I still do not answer the call, they are then asked to leave a Voicemail. It is that easy. Anytime, Anywhere.... The Find Me Follow Me service lets callers reach you by phone anytime, anywhere. There is no need to give your friends and associates multiple numbers for office, fax, cell, home, etc. With Find Me Follow Me, your virtual phone number gives you the freedom to be away from the office without worrying about missing an important call or opportunity.
What is the contract term for Receptionist Services?
Phone & chat solutions are on month to month contracts.
What is your contract term?
Phone & chat solutions are on month to month contracts. Location solutions require a 6 month commitment. 30 day written notice is required before the end of the contract. After the 6 month term it rolls over month to month.
Are the minutes tracked for the full length of the call or just for the answering and connection?
Live minutes only count for the time that we are actually on the phone with your caller. (By the second, not minute.) Once transferred through that is when automated minutes come into play. We've included 500-1000 minutes of automated time in the base packages, so you never have to worry about any additional fees. Those minutes are included to cover any long-distance fees, toll-free charges, or call patching fees that most of our competitors will charge extra for. Unless they have an extremely high call volume the basic minute plan covers most company's needs. Extra minutes are .10 cents each or they can get 1000 for $69. And we can always upgrade them retroactively if they go over so they never have to work about overage charges.
If the call is transferred to a cell phone, what does the caller id read?
With the live package, the the Davinci number will show in the caller ID so you will know that it is a business call coming through. With the auto package you have the choice to see your Davinci TFN or see the callers phone number.
How many people will the auto system forward calls to?
With the auto attendant system, it includes one main greeting and one company voicemail box. But it can forward to seven phone numbers for $59/mo. If you are in need of a dial by name directory or extra voicemail boxes, it's $29.95 for the 2nd box and $19.95 for any additional boxes after that.
Is there tax applied?
No. The pricing is charged as listed on our website. No tax is applied.
How much conference room time is included in the package?
At Davinci we do offer pre-pay conference room time in some of our locations. Contact your sales representative for more information.
Most of our locations offer conference room time payable by the hour. At Davinci we limit the number of clients we sign up at our locations, so there is much better availability in the rooms when you need it. You can even book your rooms online!
Can you do administrative projects for me? (data entry, scheduling flights, other non phone work, etc.)
Yes, this is "Admin Time". It is billed at $35/hr and is broken into per minute increments. You just pay for the time you use at the end of the month, charged to the card we have on file.
What happens if I go over my number of chats per month?
Chat overages are billed at 2 cents per word over the initial chat amount. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more information.
How long does it take to setup Live Web Chat?
It takes 1-2 business days to get everything put into the system and the team trained.
How much is it for you to install the button for me?
There is a flat fee of $99 for the install.
What do you need to install the button for me?
We will need access to your website. Depending on the type of site you have we will either need access to the admin or access to the site files via FTP.
How do I put the button on my website?
You will need to contact your web developer or we can install it for you for an additional fee of $99.
Can I use a custom button?
Yes. You will need to create three buttons and name them exactly as
outlined: repOnline.gif, repoccupied.gif, repOffline.gif.
Then upload these buttons into a directory on your website and provide us with the URLs to that directory.
We will update your account and send you back your custom code to install on your website.

The rationalist who desires to subject everything to human reason is thus faced with a real dilemma. The use of reason aims at control and predictability. But the process of the advance of reason rests on freedom and the unpredictability of human action.
Hayek (1960)
And here we come to a vital difference between inanimate or even non-human living creatures, and man himself; for the former are compelled to proceed in accordance with the ends dictated by their natures, whereas man, "the rational animal," possesses reason to discover such ends and the free will to choose.
Rothbard (2003)
Let me only point out one fundamental error in Hayek's argument. If socialism's central problem is the practical impossibility of concentrating decentralized knowledge in the mind of a single central planner, then it is difficult to explain why there are firms and why the owner of a firm does not face exactly the same problem as the central planner under socialism. The owner of a firm also cannot concentrate in his mind all of the decentralized knowledge of the particular circumstances of time and place of all of his employees. Nonetheless, the owner of the firm designs a central plan, and within the guidelines of this overall plan the firm's employees then use their own decentralized knowledge to implement and execute this plan. And yet: the owner of a firm does not face the problems of the socialist central planner!
Hoppe (2004)
F.A. Hayek was notorious for his antipathy to what he characterized as French [easyazon-image-link asin="0226320847" alt="The Constitution of Liberty" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PFEjcEo%2BL._SL160_.jpg" align="right" width="104" height="160"]rationalism. This overly heroic idea of the human capacity to mold the world according to rational criteria, he believed, underpinned the bureaucratic, technocratic, central planner mentality that was at the heart of all statism. It was, to borrow a phrase, the will to power. Yet, it was a will always undermined by the impossibility of any single mind ever being able to grasp all the detail and complexity of the vast social phenomena that emerged through the reticulated interactions of spontaneous order.
Rothbard was severely critical of this attitude, which he considered at least prone to promoting quietism and apathy, and possibly even anti-human in its diminishing and discrediting of the defining human quality of rational judgment. [easyazon-image-link asin="0814775594" alt="The Ethics of Liberty" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51KMR61Z60L._SL160_.jpg" align="left" width="106" height="160"]Through reason, he argued, humans determine the ultimate goals, via natural law, and exercise their essential capacity for reason in freely willing the realization of such goals. Clearly, for Hayek, such a critique would have been begging the question. Rothbard's claim for an unbound rational will doesn't refute Hayek's position; it illustrates it. Refutation would have required something closer to the claim made by Rothbard's comrade in arms, Hans Hoppe, in the third of the three quotations above. The very existence of vast businesses, the complexity and detail of which no entrepreneur or executive could fully hold in their mind, is submitted as evidence that the rational faculty, uniquely characteristic of humanity, was not subject to the limitations alleged by Hayek.
The problem is, though, Hoppe seems surprisingly ill-informed about the actual nature of such organizational practice; such large businesses over the last century in fact have become increasingly decided that highly centralized command structures do not work. Chain of command rigidity, feedback [easyazon-image-link asin="0300114648" alt="The Collaborative Enterprise: Managing Speed and Complexity in Knowledge-Based Businesses" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tVK4asK1L._SL160_.jpg" align="right" width="112" height="160"]bottlenecks, conformist culture, principal-agent dilemmas and more have presented challenges that central planning has proven unable to surmount. A vast range of strategies and tactics to decentralize, devolve, share responsibility, and outsource and/or pool innovation have been pursued precisely because of these failures of central planning in large companies. While the availability of automation and microprocessor-driven communication technology has facilitated these processes in recent decades, they can be traced back at least to the organizational modularization of General Motors and Chrysler in the 1920s. [1]
In the dispute between Hayek and Rothbard (and the defenders of each), it seems to me that both would have benefited from more closely heeding the use of the concept of rationality offered in by their common teacher, Ludwig von Mises. Early in his classic, Human Action (1963), Mises states: "rationalism, praxeology, and economics do not deal with the ultimate springs and goals of action, but with the means applied for the attainment of an end sought. However unfathomable the depths may be from which an impulse or instinct emerges, the means which man chooses for its satisfaction are determined by a rational consideration of expense and success."
[easyazon-image-link asin="0865976317" alt="Human Action: A Treatise on Economics" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41QSCQM5ouL._SL160_.jpg" align="left" width="107" height="160"]For Mises, being rational is exercising the most economic means of achieving the ends determined by one's subjective preferences. The human animal's actions to optimize its life potential, as perceived by it, is the only legitimate measure of rationality. This far more modest claim for rationality is not merely preferable for avoiding Hayek's critique of rationalism, but it allows a use of the concept that simultaneously supports the link between rationality and freedom, while avoiding the link between rationality and the central planner's pretense of omnipotence.
We are rational precisely to the degree that we exercise our own person to achieve our subjective preferences. Does this mean that our rational choices, our action, have no impact on or influence over others? Of course, not. However, surely we all know that our ability to rationally manage the actions and preferences of even those closest to us – spouses, business, partners, best friends, siblings, etc. – is always highly constrained. All other people have their own preferences, their own purposes and interests. Our non-coercive influence over even those closest to us is very limited. The further our actions are removed from this sphere of intimate commitment, the less and less effective can be our rationality in the management of others.
Seen through this lens, both Hayek and Rothbard have a valid point. The central planners cannot mold society to their own will and the degree to which they try is doomed to result in damage to human lives. That does not thereby mean though that rational choice is not possible, relevant or necessary in each person's life. Indeed, the best outcome of spontaneous order will result from each person being as conscientiously rational, in the MIsesian sense, as possible. However, there is a further implication of this analysis that would certainly not be welcomed by Rothbardians (nor maybe Hayekians): the world does not lend itself to willful acts of rationally planned social change – however rigorously rooted in natural law.
Each individual's application of rationality in their own actions radiates out into ripples of ever diminishing influence in the world. Very quickly, once spreading beyond the immediate reach of those precisely with emotional attachments to us, our ability to non-coercively affect the preferences and actions of others rapidly dissipates. Even coordinated and cooperative efforts are made among those with unique subjective preference hierarchies. Imagining that vast social change is easier to manage than a major business seems a little naive.
The model of a subversive vanguard that Rothbard adopted from the Marxian left is not consistent with libertarian principles or Misesian praxeology. An entirely different methodology is required to close that circle. For more on what such an approach might be, to move beyond this methodological dead end, stay tuned.

Beginning roughly 50 years ago, Aloha was slated to be the next big suburban community in the Portland area. The land was inexpensive in the 9 square miles tucked between Beaverton and Hillsboro. Families in the community replaced strawberry farms and filbert orchards with ranch homes on large lots. Since Aloha never organized as a city, taxes are low and there are minimal government entities. There is still many more growth possibilities in Aloha, and government officials in Washington County have been vocal about turning the area into an even better community.
Aloha apartments for rent are perfect for individuals commuting to downtown Portland since it is only a short drive away from the bustling metropolis, high-tech jobs and artistic neighborhoods. Although it might not be governed like a city, the population mimics one. According to Best Places, the population is roughly 49,400 residents.
Up until the middle of the 1900s, a Native American population inhabited the Tualatin Valley for approximately 3,000 to 8,000 years. It is believed that once European settlers came to the area, diseases that the people were not immune to quickly depleted the population. One of the tribes, the Atfalati, only had a few remaining pockets of settlements in the 1840s when settlers started coming in larger quantities and at a quicker pace. Sadly, by 1856, the last remaining natives were relocated to a reserve in Yamhill County.
Early settlers took advantage of land grants to develop properties and build farmland on 320 acres per person. Jacob Wheeler was the first donation land owner in the Aloha area, which was later known as Wheeler Station. By 1908, the first business in Aloha opened its doors. Silas N. Buck and his family came to the area to open up a market to attract more land buyers. The market still stands on 185th Street. Within four years, the community began to grow and the first post office opened up in January 1912.
In 1984, residents tried to incorporate Aloha, but the regional boundary commission ceased the effort, claiming the community wouldn't provide the necessary municipal services for a city.
In Washington County, the thriving economic climate allots for a diverse workforce, but much of it is centered in the tech industry. Intel Corporation is the county's top employer, providing 14,000 jobs and plans to continue expanding. Oregon leads the nation in small business ownership, and the state estimates that more than 80 percent of businesses in the state operate with fewer than 20 employees. Since there are also large manufacturers needing professional services, materials and products, the balance creates a healthy and competitive economy.
Students living in apartments in Aloha are in an ideal location to attend school at one of the many post-secondary institutes in Portland. Portland Community College, Reed College, Pacific Northwest College of Art and Concordia University are a few of the options available.
Living in Aloha is moderately priced considering the scenic community and close proximity to Portland. According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is 8 points higher than the national average, food is 4 points higher and utilities are 6 points lower. Similarly, the average cost of rentals in Aloha is fairly average. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median gross rent is $1,007.
One of the most beloved attractions in Aloha is a strange one. Guarding the Harvey Marine in Aloha is a 20-foot-tall man dressed as a 26-foot-tall rabbit. Inspired by the movie "Harvey," the giant bunny welcomes visitors, honking cars and even fan mail regularly.
Residents of Aloha are also just a hop, skip and jump away from Portland, which holds events and festivals year round.

Fecund Woody Allen rarely lets a year go by without
offering another glimpse into his world of New York angst and irony--the classic clown
whose giddy surface of laughter expresses a disillusioned view of a world that never
measures up. With his now familiar opening titles of simple white lettering on a black
background and his favored music (Dixieland or Billie Holiday--American jazz standards),
Allen sets an upbeat mood as he settles into a new set of variations on his old themes.
It's a chancy strategy, one that seems to have limited new creativity or growth in this
old master. He runs the risk of his films becoming what a line in Anything Else
describes as "a giant 'so what'?"

Great review man. Really is refreshing to see comments about a case' internal watercooling capability and SSD capability. Given that its an enthusiast targetted chassis, its was just rightfull to include those in the review.
Well done, thoughtful review. It's nice to see that AZZA is stepping up it's quality. I have been happy with my Solano, but it's side fan protrudes into the chassis, limiting tower heatsinks. Looks like they fixed that in the "Hurican"
the l33t version of "Hurricane"? great review, while its not my style of case at all i like it for some reason
the first thing i thought was a typo, but then i checked the azza website and it clearly says hurrican. obviously the box the product comes in says hurrican as well. i googled it and some reviewers call it the hurrican and others call it hurricane.
That was my main complaint with the Azza Fantom I had before. I ended up gluing a CM fan on the reverse side of the panel so I could still use my Mega with it. This one seems very nice, esp with all the fan filters. If I saw a good deal on this case I might be tempted to revisit. Azza's RMA department is very quick and pleasant too
It's probably the factor of... Hurr-I-Can? meaning due to the switches, the factoring of the fans, that a Hurricane style air flow can be developed in the case? Anyway, lets get Mlee that title change.. How about that?
Great review! I have the AZZA Solano full tower case, and imo this case is a major improvement. My only thoughts - I still wish the mobo tray was removable and there were additional openings on the tray for cable management. The Solano does not have much depth on the cable management side of the case. I think it only has about a 1/2" of room for your power cables. Does this new case have additional room?
I would guess that it has more room if they were able to stick a 120mm fan back there too (unless it was a slim 120).
I don't believe that they misnamed it.. if that's the case.. Newegg and others are doing it also. I wasn't saying that Mlee was wrong. I was talking about his title as in.. "Eligabile for a custom title"
Great review man. I like the looks of the case. It's kind of easy on the eye, and with all those fans too it should be a winner. The multiple molex fan power is a turn off for me as I have all my current fans running off my board. I suppose one could set up a buss bar for all the fans and run 'em off the PSU. Hope they do well with it.
Hurrican is a freeware jump and shoot game created by Poke53280 that is based on the Turrican game series. XD http://turrican.gamevoice.de/hurrican_site/
It's not a misprint; Hurrican is the name Azza put on it. It was commented on in the initial press release.
Many thanks to all the comments guys, I appreciate it. I had alot of fun reviewing this case and appreciate the opportunity given by W1z and Darksaber.

The Stringed Theory - General Relativity
Thursday, June 26. 2008
The Stringed Theory
Artist: The Stringed Theory
Album: Universal Relativity
Label: Stadtgruen
When the site blew up last year much was lost - dissolved like light into the blinding hole of webspace. One thing that I've been meaning to re-up was this short review of a gorgeous (and free) record from last year so...
The Stringed Theory is the project of Dustin Frelich who projects his warm pulses and fuzzy drones into space out of California - but releases music on the Web-only label Stadtgruen, a German label which, with no recourse to the piss-taking masses, pitches itself boldly into the fray with a manifesto that seeks to explore the divisions between culture and nature and is named after the urban green spaces of Berlin. Frelich's own project is remarkably apposite to this in that it utilises the language of particle physics and the medium of electronics to create what is essentially a sound full of soothing bucolic warmth. It's difficult to listen to this album, especially loud with headphones, and not feel a certain enveloping heat-haze fall over you, or to feel buoyed up by a real sense of pulsing levitation. In many respects ;i>Universal Relativity feels (and it is an album that you absorb as much as hear) close to the textures the shoegaze bands explored at the beginning of the early 90s - not so much the raw volume of My Bloody Valentine but the sonic cave cathedrals of the very early Verve recordings, or what Slowdive were trying to do with Pygmalion: it has a similar sense of dynamic space and at times it feels like the surface of drones and oscillations are going to part and reveals obscure nascent songs. A gorgeous album. And to top it all, it's available as a free download from the label.
