Google Voice Stays Free for 2013
By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Contributor
It is hard to argue with free calling, especially if you have an Android (News - Alert) smartphone.
So with the news that Google Voice is staying free in 2013, many rejoiced—myself included.
Google (News - Alert) Voice is the search giant's voice-over-IP offering, which gives free calling and texting in the U.S. and Canada, as well as cheap rates for those wanting to make international calls. The service comes with a free phone number, and can be used from a web browser, from within Gmail, or from a smartphone such as the iPhone (News - Alert) or Android handsets. It is particularly well integrated with Android, since Google also makes that operating system software.
In addition to free calling in the U.S., voice calls to countries such as India are only 2 cents per minute. Such rates compare favorably with international calling cards and other VoIP providers, which can charge rates closer to 9-cents-per-minute, according to a recent article in PC Magazine.
There has been uncertainty whether Google would continue to offer Google Voice for free.
Earlier this year, according to PC Magazine, Google said that it would charge for its phone service if quality improved.
So, apparently call quality still is an issue Google is working on.
It is hard to argue with free, but Google Voice has never been perfect. Sometimes text messages will arrive late, or calls will go straight to voicemail. There are service disruptions, and sometimes the transmission quality leaves much to be desired. But free is hard to ignore, and the quality is good enough.
According to IBISWorld, 30 million Americans pay for VoIP service and the VoIP industry is expected to generate about $15.4 billion in revenue, as reported at Forbes. Actual usage is much higher, though, because many VoIP users such as myself do not pay for VoIP. We just happily use Google Voice.
The growth of VoIP is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 15.3 percent through 2017, according to the Forbes article.
Some speculate that Google Voice is remaining free for another year because it still does not have enough market share. The VoIP market is crowded, and companies such as Microsoft, with its popular Skype (News - Alert) service, have a much larger share of the market.
"While this is good news for avid Google users, it doesn't come as much of a surprise," noted Lisa Eadicicco at Digital Trends. "At the end of 2011 and 2010, the company announced that it would continue offering free voice calling via the Gmail chat widget, and it looks like that function is here to stay yet again."
Google introduced voice calling through Gmail back in 2008, but said that this feature would only be free for its first year, added Eadicicco.
Free or not, VoIP is rapidly becoming the communications means of preference, particularly as enterprises upgrade or replace their legacy PBXs with VoIP routers and gateways from companies such as community host Patton, and adopt SIP trunking solutions and cloud-based hosted services as well.Want to learn more about the latest in communications and technology?

In Atlanta and across the nation, people stopped Tuesday to remember the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
Fulton County at the "Circle of Honor" Public Safety Memorial, which honors public safety officials who died serving the community. In DeKalb County, outside the county's police and fire headquarters.
Clark Atlanta University , and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said to remain vigilant for our communities' safety.
The day passed peacefully here at home, but Americans faced attack in Egypt and Libya. On Tuesday evening local time, the American ambassador to Libya, along with three embassy staffers, were killed when a mob of protesters stormed the compound and set it ablaze.
Just hours earlier, a mob climbed over the wall of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, tore down an American flag, and replaced it briefly with a black flag symbolic of Islamic extremists.
So Patch wants to know what you think. Do you think that the United States is safer today than it was before September 11, 2001? Where do things stand in the war on terrorism? Or does the nation remain at the same - or even greater - risk of being attacked today?
Tell us what you think in the comments area below.

Booth scores winner, earns assist in victory
LAKE CHARLES, La. - For the second time in as many matches, the Oral Roberts women's soccer team closes the match with a victory in extra time, defeating McNeese State on the road, 2-1.
Jennifer Abernathy, the hero in the Golden Eagles double-overtime victory in their last match against Sam Houston State, returned the favor she was given by Whitney Booth against the Bearkats on Sunday, setting up Booth for the game winner in the 97th minute on Friday night. It was Booth's first goal of the season.
The victory improves the Golden Eagles record to 9-4-2 overall and 3-1-0. In overtime matches this season, the Golden Eagles are 3-1-2, winning all three in consecutive opportunities.
Coach Ryan Bush's ORU women move their win streak to three matches. The Golden Eagles are now 7-1-1 in their last nine matches.
Earning the win between the posts was sophomore keeper Helen Erb. Despite not recording a school record ninth shutout, Erb made a big save late in the regulation to keep the score tied. She finished the contest with five saves.
The Golden Eagle offense started the game on the attack with Booth and Kayla Keller getting shots off within the first nine minutes. Finally, the ladies broke loose in the 10th minute as Booth set up Allison Hall perfectly off a corner kick. Hall finished the play by placing a header in the back of the net for her second goal of the season.
Shots were hard to come by in the defensive battle. The Golden Eagles entered the locker room at halftime with a 5-2 shot advantage over the Cowgirls, three of which were on goal.
When the match eventually came to a close, ORU had rattled off 10 shots, led by Booth with four. Of her four shots, Booth had three on goal, while Ashley Martin add two and Megan Giles and Hall each finished with one.
The Cowgirls goal came just inside the 67th minute, as Brennan Moss was in the right place at the right time, turning a Erb save into a goal, finishing on a rebound following a shot off the foot of Callie Allbright.
Up next for the Golden Eagles is the back side of their Louisiana roadtrip as they travel to Thibodaux to face Nicholls State at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Nicholls State fell to Southeastern Louisiana on Friday.

First of all, thank you to all the people who chipped in over these past two weeks, especially my producer Tom Rotunno and my blog editor Mark Koba who ran the show, so that I could have a real vacation. Now, let's get cracking.
The New York Mets theme song for the 2009 season is "We built this Citi." The question is whether the Citi will stand.
Questions about whether the humungous 20-year, $400 million naming rights deal that the bank agreed to two years ago for the new Mets stadium would stand up, began when the global financial crisis started. Then the 53,000 jobs cut at Citi, the second largest single job cuts in terms of volume in history. And last night, the government injecting $20 billion into Citigroup.
Sure, the $20 million a year is a drop in the bucket, but the important point to make here is that the folks at Citi are at least behaving as if the Mets made this contract so locked up, that they couldn't get out of it no matter what the financial situation was.
"You know, those (naming rights) decisions were made in a different time and a different place and we have a legal and binding agreement around that and so I never heard it discussed," Citi's CFO Gary Crittenden told Erin Burnett on our "Squawk on the Street" this morning. "I don't think it's an issue."
As far as the Mets are concerned, good for them. No other company, in this environment, would give them $20 million a year. I don't even think they could get $12 million at this point, to be frank. As far as Citi is concerned, it's definitely going to be uncomfortable.
Whether it's rational or not, they're going to hear people asking how many employees they could have had back for that $20 million annual investment. The right question to ask, and I don't know the answer to this is, what's a better investment for the company, the people you could have working for those dollars or the naming rights to the stadium?
Things of course get doubly uncomfortable now that it's taxpayer dollars on the line. No one expects that AIG sponsorship of Manchester United to stick now that the government is involved. Sure, the AIG bailout is much bigger, but that doesn't take away from the fact that a high profile sports sponsorship doesn't seem as necessary as it once did.

'The Eye Has to Travel': Fashion icon/editor Diana Vreeland remembered fondly for her self-made life ★★★
For an improbable number of years across the 20th Century, Harper's Bazaar fashion editor and Vogue editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland turned every bauble, bangle and bright shiny bead she personally approved on her publishers' expense accounts into something faaaaabulous and photographable, bringing the world Twiggy and other exotic creatures, operating (as she told at least one writer) under the assumption that an editor isn't "supposed to give the people what they want. They're supposed to give them what they don't know they want yet."

Austin >Food & Dining > Z Tejas
9400 Arboretum Blvd Ste A, Austin, TX | Directions 7875930.389138 -97.752915
Mon. - Thu. 11am - 7pm;Fri. 11am - 11pm;Sat. 10am - 11pm;Sun. 10am - 10pm
GREAT FOOD – The food was great. The service was pretty good also. The food came out fairly quickly.
This is a good restaurant to just eat and have a conversation.
Marvelous Monday – Imagine my surprise when going for a nice dinner on Monday to find a hidden happy hour gem. My girlfriend and I went to Z'Tejas up North and had one of the best dining experience while watching the sun set over the hill country from their huge outdoor patio. We split a couple of apps not knowing they were half price all night on Mondays and finished up with the seafood enchiladas that were awesome. I will def be back for another Monday.
Good food, great margaritas – What I like about Z'Tejas is that nothing is a real let down on the menu and the service is always cheerful. Not to mention their margaritas will pretty much knock you on your b-hind with their delicious flavor, two is plenty...
The Texas Treo app is always good and I tend to stick to the specials although there are a few things on the menu I like quite a bit as well. Even has a good burger if Grandpa doesn't want to have a "Fa-Gee-Ters".
This place is in a standard rotation for the wife and I - even good for kids/families.
EXCELLENT food, fast service & great atmosphere! – My husband, 2-year old son & I recently went to Z'Tejas after a friend told us how delicious the food was. We were HIGHLY impressed with the entire visit there! We visited on a Sunday evening & got sat immediately. Our waitress (whose name was April & was VERY knowledgeable about the menu) greeted us quickly & had waters to our table in what seemed like just 1 minute after we sat down! We enjoyed fresh cornbread & chips and queso before our meal arrived. I HIGHLY suggest the Chicken Mac & Cheese (it has a more fancy name than this but I can't remember it); it wasn't too spicy & was the melt-in-your-mouth mac & cheese that I wish I could bake at home! My husband had pork & said it was delicious as well! (Try the raspberry hibiscus iced tea for a refreshing summer drink as well!!)
All-in-all, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice, quiet place for dinner. They had a beautiful patio out back that seemed to be popular, but we opted to eat inside this visit.
Fabulous food - A great Austin find – My group of 30+ recently dined here on a Saturday afternoon. We had made reservations without any problems on very short notice. The atmosphere, while noisy at times, is very relaxed and friendly. Our orders and drinks were taken promptly and the food was delivered hot and delicious. Without a doubt, I would recommend the Mango Mojito. It's one of the best mojito's I've had in Austin. I've also tried their margaritas, and they're a bit too strong for my tastes. I asked my waitress for entree recommendations, and the Miso Grilled Salmon as well as the Smoked Chicken Chile Relleno are their most popular dishes. I've had both on separate occasions, and while the salmon was buttery soft and well seasoned, the flavor of the chicken relleno was much more memorable. It's what Tex-Mex is all about! Be sure to check out the view of the hills on their patio. I'll definetly be back to the Z'tejas in the Arboretum.
Are We in France? – A large group of coworkers wanted to meet up for dinner. Since we all lived in different locations around Austin, I recommended Z Tejas due to it's central location . The atmosphere was enjoyable. The staff was considerate and polite with relatively quick service. However, as the meals were set in front of each person, I noticed looks of disappointment. Everybody commented about the incredible small portion sizes. When you can see more plate than food at the prices we were paying, you can see why there was such disappointment. The majority of the group did not care for the taste of the food either and said they would never return. I personnally enjoyed the food but agree about the skimpy portions. Since it was my idea do go there, I felt very guilty that nobody was enjoying their meal. If you are hungry, I would not go. However, if you are dieting, skip the appetizers, and enjoy your Weight Watchers Portions.
Definitely a must go to!!! – This place was GREAT! We did not make reservations but we were seated in less than 20 minutes on a Friday night. While we waited at the bar the bar waitstaff was attentive to us and our needs. We had a great table out on the patio and the Snapper dish is the WAY TO GO. Even the cornbread while different was good. And I have to mention that the Margaritas are some of the best that I have ever had. I would definitely go back and that's from a hard core Texas girl who knows TexMex flavas.
Nice view, good food – Went here in Octoiber for a special occasion, food was good. Only complaint was although the place was more thanb 1/2 empty, the food wasn't hot when it reached us. would go back though, even the cold food was good. Service average.
Excellent Sunday Bruch Spot – I love this place! The view is awesome, mimosas are great. Sundays for brunch are very fufilling. Get there before the crowd so you can get a table outside with a great view of the greenbelt. The salmon is AWESOME and the cornbread and waffles are as well.
Ancho Fudge Pie – This dessert alone is reason enough to go to Z-Tejas if you love anything chocolate. This pie is served warm with a touch of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. This is one of my favorite restaurants due to the general outstanding quality of the food, and the overall attentiveness of the waitstaff. My favorites on the menu include Navajo Taco with includes a layer of fried spinach that must be tasted to be believed. It's crispy without being overly greasy. The oyster shooters have been our favorite appetizer and my S.O. sweares Z's rib-eye steak with garlic mash potatoes beats any other steak in town. Yes, the inside restaurant can be loud, and occasionally the waits are long, but the food is definitely worth it!

In 1993, an isometric strategy game titled Syndicate tasked gamers with managing the operation of a corporation and its agents in a dark and corrupted cyberpunk world. After an expansion pack and sequel, there were no more titles in the series from the original developers at Bullfrog Productions. The modern reinterpretation of Syndicate from Starbreeze Studios,the developers behind
The Chronicles of Riddick
The Darkness
, is a significant change from the original by switching to a first-person gameplay perspective. Fortunately, it's evident that the developers had great care in delivering a game that provides justice to the original, and in the process, reinvents itself.
Modern first-person shooters are often comparable with the action blockbuster Hollywood films and Syndicate is no different. There are only a few moments throughout the six to seven hours of the single-player narrative that provide breathing moments between constant gunfire and explosions. It's unfortunate because the game's narrative had many thrilling moments that came close to greatness, but fizzled out with repetitive waves of enemies.
Syndicate takes place in the year 2069 in which governments have been replaced by mega-corporations. Half of the world's population opted for Eurocorp's DART chip implant that makes all electronic devices obsolete. As a result, small visual indicators appear over every object in the game world. The assets and members of corporations are protected by augmented agents that are at the control of their CEOs.
Gamers will step into the boots of Miles Kilo, a newly recruited Eurocorp agent, on his first mission against a rival corporation. Not surprisingly, events spiral out of control and Kilo becomes entangled in various plots of espionage, betrayal, and corporate warfare. The narrative includes the resemblances and voices of Brian Cox and Rosario Dawson, that both play major roles in its events. With numerous set piece moments and richly-detailed locales ranging from New York slums to a corporation headquarters on the Atlantic Ocean, each chapter in the narrative is an absolute cybernetic joy ride to play through. The narrative would have benefited from further time to expand on the concepts of human augmentation and corporation influence over society. It was rather unfortunate to see that a cast of great actors underused in the narrative's course. Many of the details concerning the protagonist's background are revealed later in the game, missing out on opportunities during the rest of the playthrough.
What sets Syndicate apart from other first-person shooters is the addition of cybernetic powers through the prototype DART6 implant. With the DART6 system, players can enable x-ray vision and slow down enemy movement with the overlay mode. This mode, along with the rest of the player's DART6 powers, recharge through the use of adrenaline from combat. Other powers available through "breaching" or hacking into an enemy's chip implant include suicide, persuade, and backfire. The suicide breach forces an enemy to kill themselves with a pistol shot to the head or a grenade blast if near other targets. The persuade breach will cause a particular soldier to kill all the enemies in their proximity. Lastly, the backfire breach causes the enemy's weapon to explode, shoving them to the ground. Each of the DART6 breaches can be upgraded to inflict more damage or increase its area of effect to multiple targets. With the combination of effective weapons and melee attacks, overlay mode, and breach powers, Kilo has a powerful assortment of tools for eliminating enemy threats.
As with the Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness, Starbreeze Studios excel at replicating the movement of a person's body in the game world through natural use of hand and leg animations. The game's combat system also benefits from the immersive first-person perspective with brutal melee attacks and hefty weight of each gun. When the DART6 powers are charging, the game's weapons provide plenty of firepower for eliminating any enemy encounters. Most the guns are the basic affair of pistol, submachine gun, and shotgun, except for a particular gun that can track enemies with its bullets. Gamers will encounter numerous waves of enemies throughout their playthroughs. Fortunately, the combat is highly entertaining and can become quite tense and strategic with the use of DART6 breaching powers.
After the single-player credits roll, gamers can continue their adventures in the world of Syndicate with the online four-player cooperative mode. There are a total of nine levels spread across the world that each offer a significant challenge over the single-player mode. The DART6 system plays an important role in the cooperative mode with expanded powers from healing teammates to planting viruses in enemies. The increase in difficulty requires each of the team members to work together in accomplishing level objectives and surviving against enemy agents. With a group of four dedicated members, the gameplay offers intense scenarios that require the team's combined powers. If the group is matched together poorly, expect frequent and infuriating deaths. Repeat level playthroughs will reward upgrade and blueprint points that can be used for raising the player's statistics and unlocking add-ons for weapons.
From a visual standpoint, Syndicate offers some of this year's best graphics on consoles. From the Blade Runner inspired environments to the sleek heads-up DART6 display, the game's presentation demonstrates the dedication put forth by the developers. From the scatter of gunfire to breaching into an enemy's chip, each of the game's sound effects are drenched with a coat of cyberpunk style. The soundtrack doesn't disappoint either with an assortment of dubstep remixes by Skrillex that assist with raising the adrenaline throughout the game. The only complaint with the game's visuals is the overuse of bloom effects that would make J.J. Abrams blush in comparison with Star Trek.
The single-player narrative is worth a couple of playthroughs, primarily with the addition of cybernetic powers. The actual replayability of Syndicate is found within the four-player cooperative mode that offers gamers significant challenge and thrilling combat encounters. Compared with the multiplayer aspect of other first-person shooters, Syndicate doesn't offer any content that will have gamers frequently returning to the cooperative mode. Without any indication for future downloadable content, the game's online community might not last long against the ever-increasing competition.
Syndicate is available now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.

good question Ken.......I have no idea, never heard any books talk about Tom Parker's reaction
I was wondering if anyone knew how Colonel Parker reacted to Elvis bolting to Washington alone then eventually arranging the Nixon meeting? Independance of action and thought were not what Parker liked from Elvis.
I know what Vernon, Priscilla, and many of the guys reactions were-but how about Parker?
Work in Progress!
good question Ken.......I have no idea, never heard any books talk about Tom Parker's reaction
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
That's a very interesting question, but I've never heard about what the Colonel thought either. Hope someone will be able to answer your question.
He said that dang Elvis, he needed to tell me so I could use that publicity and make money off of it.
I obviously don't know.
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy
Yes it does
Work in Progress!
Bet his face was red as a beet and ready to burst a blood vessel.

- Product Features
This controller allows you to control separately up to 4 channels (branches) of lights. Blinking, fading, chasing—8 functions to choose from.
- Controller effects include:
In Waves;
Slo Glo;
Steady Burn.
- Controller has a push button switch to choose the function. If you use a timer, the controller will remember the mode it was left in for a short while, but possibly not overnight.
- Each branch may contain up to 150 watts load. For example, for our 70 light retail strings, which consume 4.8 watts each, you could put 150/4.8 = 31 strings on each channel.
- Power cord is 6 feet long and plugs into a standard receptacle.
- Channel outputs are 34 inches long and accept standard 2-prong plugs. Now accepts polar or non-polar plugs.
- Low maintenance.
- Green.
- Indoor/outdoor.
- 120 Volts AC.
- Controller effects include:
- Applications
Use for fancy Christmas light shows. Put some sparkle in your holiday display.
This controller works on 120 volt Christmas light strings. One thing to remember is it addresses up to 4 sets of strings—it cannot control the individual bulbs on the strings separately because that would require extra control wires in your strings. If you want your controller to address individual groups of bulbs on each string, we have strings that can do that.

Regular Caltrain service has resumed this morning after a signal problem in South San Francisco was causing delays of up to 30 minutes earlier today, an agency spokeswoman said.
The problem was reported at about 8:15 a.m. with the signals, which are used to communicate with train engineers, Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
When the signals are not operating correctly, trains must travel slowly, which caused delays to at least two southbound and two northbound trains, Dunn said.
She said shortly after 10:15 a.m. that the problem had been resolved.

UW-River Falls Administrative Policy
Overload Compensation Policy
Maintained by: Provost
Pursuant to changes in Wisconsin Statute and delegated the authority by UW System Administration, each UW institution has the ability to create an administrative policy that defines the dollar amount threshold for overload payments to employees while on contract (either for 9 month or 12 month employees). The legislation calls for an implementation that follows the calendar rather than academic year and, for the initial year (2013) of implementation, the first six months must be based on pro rata amount of the previous limit ($12,000). This amount is therefore $6,000 for the period of January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013.
The limit from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 will be $8,600 (a prorated amount from a calculated annual total of $17,136.75 and rounded to the nearest hundred dollars). The total for calendar 2013 should not exceed $14,600 and should not exceed either the $6,000 for the first six months of the year or $8,600 for the second six months of the year.
Beginning with 2014, there will be a single dollar amount calculated that regulates the entire calendar year. That amount will be calculated as 25% of the average of Full Professor base salaries reported as of October 1, 2013 and rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. The limit for calendar year 2014 is $18,000.
The University's administration will periodically review (every three years) this policy to assure that it is functioning, compliant with UW System and Regents policies and procedures, and in line with the authorizing State of Wisconsin legislation.
The UW-River Falls Provost issues this policy in accordance with the Administrative Policy process. Only the UWRF Chancellor can provide an exception to this policy.
Failure to adhere to the provisions of this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action as provided under existing procedures applicable to students, faculty, and staff, and/or civil or criminal prosecution.
This policy calls for a calculation, done on or about October 1, 2013 and every three years afterward, that is 25% of the average base salary of UWRF full professors and rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. The calculation for the period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 was based on the average pulled from a March 2013 report of salaries, which yielded an average full professor salary of $68,547. In subsequent years, the data will be pulled and the amount calculated in October and that number will govern calculations beginning the following calendar year and will remain in place for three years until the next calculation (calculations will occur October 1, 2013; 2015, 2018, 2021, etc.) is computed.
The amount calculated will govern the overload payments available to faculty and academic staff regardless if they are working on 9- or 12-month contracts. Any exception to this policy shall only be made by the Chancellor. This policy does not replace 2/9ths policy enforced for summer compensation of 9-month contracted faculty and academic staff.
The Provost's office will be responsible for the calculations and will notify Faculty and Academic Staff leadership of the calculated limit. The Provost's Office will also notify the following units: each of the academic colleges; Human Resources; Student Affairs; Athletics; the Budget Office; Outreach; Global Connections.
Human Resources and/or the Budget Office will generate the salary list. This list can and should be the same as that used for the distribution of compensation for faculty otherwise known as the $100,000 distribution.
The policy was generated as a result of changes to state legislation and the institutional creation and enforcement of this policy was confirmed by UW System Administration on June 14, 2013.
Please direct questions about this policy to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pros – Passionate people, true desire to "make a difference" and "change the world"
Cons – Micromanagement at all levels; no cohesive sense of purpose (every man/woman/child for themselves); lost ability to innovate (just look at the latest acquisition and press surrounding it); cronyism
Advice to Senior Management – Time to act on the poor employee survey results that are _consistently given_ an stop paying them lip service alone
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"This card was beautiful. Everyone loved it! I used it as a thank you/birth announcement for my 2 month old christening and for family/freinds who had given us a gift when he was born. I included pictures on the front of my 2 month old by himself and two pictures on the back with his big brother. I like the square sized card. As well added the shimmer. Looks elegant. Love the card and love working with tiny prints.i included a picture because when I read reviews I enjoy seeing the product the customer actual has in hand."
"This is a BEAUTIFUL announcement that I have received so many compliments on. I loved being able to show off our new addition with more than one photo. When I had an issue with the photos I was using, the designers at Tiny Prints were more than happy to assist me and made an already beautiful product even more gorgeous. I also love the fact that the print on the front of the announcement is not something you see everyday and introduced our baby in his own way :)"
"I love this design as it reminds me of my Australian birth certificate. Although mines was with out photos. I was very excited to send this one out to friends and family. They all loved the design and loved how we added photos to the back of the card. The card turned out to be better than I had expected. I will treasure this always."
"We chose this card particularly because of the number of pictures we could include and we couldn't be happier. The quality of the card itself and the pictures were outstanding. We have received many compliments on the layout/design. We chose to use the modified envelopes and those worked very well with the card."
"I am still getting phone calls about how beautiful and unique the announcement was...this announcement allowed me to showcase my newborn on front, but then include a family picture and a sibling picture on back, not taking anything away from our new little guy. I chose the semi gloss finish which gave it a fancier look...the envelopes were also of great quality. They were a little pricey, but worth every penny."

Spring Bouquet with vase
By Jan Berrington
from Liverpool
Whilst I felt online this was definitely value for money, I was disappointed when they arrived. The flowers were lovely but the way they were displayed in the yellow material looked like it had been rushed and didn't sit right in the vase. This led to be being a bit disappointed as this was a gift for my mum.I have ordered flowers for her for Easter, so hopefully they will be better.

As I am in New Zealand I bought this gift as for my Nanna's 90th Birthday in UK and used the same day delivery service. It was reassuring to have a confirmation e mail to say the flowers had been delivered and she was thrilled when I rang and told me how beautiful it was and her living room smelt wonderful. I haven't actually seen the bouquet but from what she described it sounds wonderful. thank you

Only reason I gave 2 stars was for the vase. No freesias, no scent, flowers dying within 3 days.Will not be using Interflora again.Very unhappy and disappointed.
Ok as a last resort
By Customer
My mother sent me a photo of the flowers delivered to her, they were fine, but it was a pretty measly bunch. I paid more for the more substantial bouquet, but it was disappointing. My husband sent me flowers through interflora recently and I know at he felt the same about the bunch that arrived for me (incidentally we live in a different area to my mother, so they came from a different shop). To be honest, I think that it must be easy to find better value elsewhere, but I was really pushed for time. On the positive side, they are reliable for next day delivery, which is important as my mum doesn't exactly live in a buzzing metropolis.

Beautiful flowers - but - just like some other reviewers, I needn't have bothered going for the extra stems, as the finished product looked very small to me? I can't believe that the standard bouqet could be any smaller!! So I feel like I paid extra for nothing - but they were very pretty anyway.

When I ordered the product (Flowers & Teddy) it arrived the same day as advertised, when I realised the recipient would not be at home in time I called the customer service team and requested they deliver the products to next door, which they did with no fuss. They are rather polite. As for value for money for the whole experience, I am more than happy to recommend Interflora to friends and family. The flowers were nice and fresh and have still lasted quite a long time

I ordered this for my grandmothers 99th birthday as she likes carnations and fresias. How disappointed she will be when they are given to her later today as there isn't a single carnation! Also the yellow genista has been substituted for something pink which doesn't look as nice. Flowers also look like they've just been put in, not arranged. Will not be ordering flowers via Interflora again as the florist that prepares them for this area does not provide what it should. Very disappointing!
To celebrate my partner's promotion
By Andy, Nottingham

I opted for the Scented Spring Perfect Gift to say congratulations to my partner on her promotion. As I have a broken leg choosing online was great. The same day delivery service was also useful. I chose the 17 stems option thinking it would be a nicer display. I was personally disappointed that they didn't look more ostentatious than they actually were - its a pity sizes of displays aren't given on the website.Despite that the quality of the flowers and what they actually looked like was excellent. The delivery was great as I received the order within a couple of hours!I was able to track the delivery on my iphone using the app and the only negative was that it said 'delivered' about half an hour before they arrived.

Have you read the manual yet? Check the temperature setting on the boiler (as instructed by the manual).
I was hoping to get some help on an issue I'm having with my boiler. The boiler appears to be working in some capacity, as the radiators are warm to the touch and we have plenty of hot water.
However, the boiler isn't really cranking out the heat, and so while the thermostat is set to 68, my house is staying in the 61-64 range. At first I thought it was an issue with the electronic thermostat I installed this year, as I tried turning up a different thermostat for another part of the house, and the boiler kicked on. However, the boiler only stayed on for about 10 minutes and then turned off. It seems like if the air temp is below the setting the boiler should stay on, right?
So if you have a boiler that only comes on intermintenly, what do you think the most likely problem would be? An issue with the thermostat or wiring? Or maybe the boiler needs a tune-up or something adjusted?
Have you read the manual yet? Check the temperature setting on the boiler (as instructed by the manual).
Most likely not tstat because you proved the switch. When tstat called for heat the boiler turned on. Prob with boilers is that there are mult parts functioning. Tstat could be fine but how bout the zone valves. whats the press/temp guage read. you need to know water press when boiler is cold and whats the pressure and temp when it shuts off. When the burners shutoff does the circ pump still run(some of the pumps need to be oiled), the aquastat is the boiler temp control which has removeable cover, with a dial indicator telling you the high limit for burner shutdown and when temp drops 20-30 degrees below that number the burners should come on. check aquastat( has a probe that sits in and senses water. So might need to be cleaned or replaced.) and your circulator pump( if it does not move the water heated by boiler, it will trip out on limit till it cools enough and start all over again.
Unless you have outdoor re-set or boiler temp modulation, all you need to do is take a look at the temp gauge when the system is calling for heat. The boiler should be running between 160 - 200 degrees depending on what the high limit and it's differential are set at. If the burner is short cycling and the boiler is not coming up to temperature there is a very good chance that the thermostat's heat anticipator is not set properly.

WASHINGTON — It was one of the simplest yet most acclaimed marketing strategies in recent decades.
Filler operator Chris Roberts keeps a eye on controls at the Oakhurst Dairy plant in Portland.

Tom Brigham, co-president of Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, gets "quite involved" in dairy policy at the state level but not as much with federal policy. He said there is a consensus among Maine farmers that reforms are needed.
John Patriquin/Staff Photographer
Got milk?
A simple slogan for a seemingly simplistic staple of the American diet -- and one that belies the absurd complexity of the policies that undergird the nation's multibillion-dollar dairy industry.
Dale Cole's dairy operation is a case in point.
Cole Farm is in Sidney, about 60 miles from Oakhurst Dairy's processing and pasteurization facility near downtown Portland. Within 48 hours of being loaded onto tanker trucks at the farm, milk from Cole's 85 cows could be chilling in the dairy case at the Hannaford supermarket one-quarter mile from Oakhurst's plant or the Shaw's about 10 miles from Cole's farmstead.
But despite the hyperlocal nature of that milk, the price that Cole and other farmers are paid isn't based on local feed, fuel or energy costs. Instead, those payments are determined by -- among other things -- how much "cheese traders" paid for cheddar on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the national price of skim milk multiplied by 0.965 plus the price of butterfat multiplied by 3.5.
Confused yet? You're not alone. "There are many people who work in the industry that don't fully understand it," said Tom Brigham, co-president of Oakhurst Dairy and, although he doesn't admit it, probably one of the few who actually does understand.
Milk can also be political.
Regional tensions and power struggles pitting farmers against processors -- or big dairies versus small -- frequently surface in Congress. Just last week, a massive Farm Bill affecting all of agriculture failed in the House at least in part because late changes to a dairy safety net program prompted some milk state lawmakers to walk away.
With consensus building for an overhaul of federal dairy policies, the House and Senate are considering proposals to replace government "safety net" subsidies with a voluntary price insurance program.
But many Maine dairy farmers, who argue that under the current system there is little to no correlation between their production costs and the federally set minimum prices they receive, are also less than enthused about the proposed reforms.
"What we really need is a regional approach to it because one shoe doesn't fit all of the regions of the country," said Cole, who currently serves as president of the Maine Dairy Industry Association.
But why should consumers in Maine care about dairy policies set in Augusta and Washington, D.C.? Or about the regional politics that sometimes pit New England's much-smaller dairy industry against powerhouse milk-producing states in the Midwest?
For one, the federal government sets minimum milk prices (and retail prices for a gallon rose 31 percent between January 2003 and January 2013). But for Maine and its New England neighbors, the old farmhouses, large barns and tended fields visible from scenic byways are often integral to both the agriculture and tourism economies.
"Depending on prices, it is either the largest or second-largest piece of Maine's nearly $1 billion agriculture industry," said Walter Whitcomb, commissioner of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry and himself a dairy farmer. "And people like to see that land."
The financial plight of Maine's dairy industry has been well documented. Squeezed by rising fuel and feed costs, many of Maine's roughly 300 dairy farms have struggled to recoup enough money from milk sales to stay in the black in recent years.
State and federal programs designed to help dairies weather volatility in the milk industry have provided a lifeline for many farms, with one federal program funneling more than $3.5 billion in subsidies to dairy farmers nationwide since 2002. But that safety-net program -- called the Milk Income Loss Contract program -- would be eliminated under the House and Senate proposals to offer farmers a voluntary "margin insurance" to help cover losses.

Jones County firefighters responded to a call at 9:53 p.m. on Hungerford Road in Bradley about a single-story, wood-framed house was on fire. It took more than an hour to put out the fire.
Homeowners Shirley Simmons and Herbert Driskell were asleep when the fire started, and both managed to get out safely.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Take a good long look at an M&P, also a Sig SP 2022
Well I am on the verge of 21 and I'm going to buy one when the time comes. Quick background; been around guns my whole life, dad has taught me since I was young about them, I've been shooting for 10 years or so now so shooting isn't a big issue, Eagle Scout so there is more experience around guns. My question is, what are some reliable brands at a good price (300-500...hopefully..) that are out now? I'm partial to glock because I love my dads 3rd gen 19 9 mil but he isn't budging on giving it to me. I've also heard the 4th gens lack in quality to the 2nd and 3rd gens. I'm open to other calibers but I'm leaning towards a 9; God forbid if I do have to use it in my home, I don't want it going through many walls. I also don't want anything too awful big but nothing small like a .380. I don't hunt but I camp quite a bit in the back woods so the loud noise would scare off anything that scares me; don't really need a bear killer is what I'm trying to say. Thanks in advance!
Take a good long look at an M&P, also a Sig SP 2022
Ruger SR9.......
If you like Glock,,,get a Glock. Best hand gun on the market if you ask me. They are so easy to take apart and clean....
I bought the model 21 (.45) for my first gun and like it a lot!!
M&P's are good but don't look for the noise to save you
None of us need a bear killer till one starts chewing on us in the backwoods. At that point everybody wants one. Depending on where you live, bear can also be a concern near your home.
I favor Ruger, the SR9, SR9c, SR40 and SR40c are great pistols they are accurate, totally reliable and backed by the best customer service anywhere, but Glock, Sig, CZ, H&K, Beretta and many others make quality firearms. Look at as many pistols as you can and if Glock is still your favorite, buy one, their quality and dependability is as good as any and holsters and other Glock items are plentiful. If you choose a 9 mm or .40 S&W and load it with any good personal defense ammo such as Hornady Critical Defense you will be well protected as long as you practice and learn to use your new pistol skillfully. Good luck with your future purchase.
Get a Beretta 92FS. It's a great gun and has a proven track record. It is truly a world-class handgun.
I have numerous firearms and can buy pretty much what ever I want. That's not to say I'm gonna waste money on something that I don't need, or doesn't meet my expectations.
The 9mm is a good round and has been around for many, many years. It ain't going no where. If you prefer a round with a little more punch, get the Beretta 96FS (.40 cal.).
I've shot most of what's out there, at one time or another. Sig is also an excellent semi-auto. I'd be happy with one.
They also maintain their value well, say over a Ruger or a S&W.
Having recently gone through this same process, I recommend you "try before you buy". I was also all set on getting a Glock, because my brother had one, and it was the only semi-auto pistol that I had shot. I thought that my only decision was whether to get the 17 or 19 until I talked to the owner of the gun shop. He recommended that I try several different guns before I bought one. I found a gun range that had a great deal on rentals, and for around $100 I was able to shoot a bunch of different guns including both a Glock 17 and 19. It turns out that the Glock I had originally intend to purchase, was not one of my top picks after I shot it. Hopefully you are looking for a gun that you intend to shoot regularly. If your plan is to throw it in a drawer and never take it out except for home defense, then you and your family are probably better off getting a shotgun or maybe a Taser.
The choices given above are great guns to try. The only addition to that list that I'd make would be a Walther PPQ, which I didn't buy, but it was very high on my list of choices after I shot it.
I understand people have budgets, but add $300 more to your range of $300-$500 and you make a substantial jump in quality. Since you aren't a newbie looking to learn, you don't need an entry level price to get on a learning curve. You seem to want a serious tool, i.e. to accompany you on camping trips, home protection, etc. So spend a little more to get alot more. That Beretta suggestion works. Or look into a CZ-75.
Thanks for all the input! I'll have to go to my local and range and see about renting some. I like the Sig 2022 but the only personal drawback is no safety. I want something that I would feel comfortable around the youngins in the family so a safety is a must for me.
The reason I suggested a Ruger SR 9, is because of your budget and caliber.......I prefer my 96's.....
The FNX-9 ($580ish) and the HK P30 ($830ish) have decocker and safety. The CZ-75 ($570ish) has decocker or safety.
Does anyone have experience with the glock 30 .45? My dad said when he buys a new handgun, that's what he is getting. His buddy has one and my dad said if fits well into his hand and is a little more accurate than his 19.
A S&W M&P can be purchased with a safety ....if that is a must then your choices are fewer as Glock does not have one.
Let me correct my statement above...Glock does not have one (safety)in the traditional sense as it is built in to the trigger; however if a child pulls the trigger then it goes bang. If a child plays with any handgun and given enough time there is a danger it can go off. There are trigger locks and safety locks as well, but they do make the firearm less quickly available in an emergency.
FNH USA model FNX-9 was my choice for first handgun. Comes in a .40 and .45 also. Ambidextrous, quality, accurate, DA/SA, hammer, safety & decocker (as mentioned above). 17+1 capacity, comes with 3 mags, 4 interchangeable back straps, blown plastic hard case, nice safety lock. I paid ~$550 otd.
I don't know if they (Bersa) are any good, but I remember the Bersa Thunder 9 Pro feeling really good in my hand and was very inexpensive. Buds has them for $411.00
MuteTurkey... This was never brought to discussion, but will you be using this same firearm for CCW, or will this firearm be used in HD? This will play a major factor in your decision. I would advise you to consider your firearm for CCW, and use something else for HD such as a shotgun.
Good luck in your search, and keep us posted.
That is true; this will be my CCW and open carry when I feel the need since Tennessee is an open carry state. Mainly concealed because I don't want any extra attention.
What does HD stand for?
Oh ok. There is already a 12 gauge in the house for home defense.
Went to the range last night with my dad and a couple buddies. Ended up doing pretty well even though it's been a while since I've shot a handgun. We shot my dad's glock 19 and my buddy's Taurus pt-809 9 mil. I preferred the way the glock shot but still enjoyed the Taurus. Probably going to end up getting a glock 30 .45 because a local shop has a killer deal on one. I'm going to borrow a buddy's glock 30 and shoot it before I pick one up.
I just bought the Ruger SR40c and it feels good.I have not even cleaned it yet.My everyday carry is a Beretta Nano.I also own a couple EAA Witness pistols.They are a great gun.I have one in 9mm and .40 cal.The SR40c has a 9 round magazine and a spacer with a 15 round magazine.Perfect for a few situations.It was $399.00.Ruger makes some work horse type guns.The SR40c also has a 3.5 inch barrel.The SR40 has a 4 inch barrel.
I don't know enough about your comfort requirements, recoil tolerances, cosmetic preferences, manual dexterity, or what "feels right" to you, to suggest a particular handgun.
So, yep, here is my same old answer......
This is strictly my opinion, and has worked in many years of firearms training, and for men and ladies alike.
Get some basic training FIRST. At this point you need fundamentals, not run and gun, or force on force. Reputable instructors will provide a host of handguns and holsters for you to experience in class. That will give you some idea of where your preferences might lead you in handgun selection. Then.....
Buy a handgun just like you would buy a pair of shoes. If Ol' Joe over here says he likes Charlie China tennis shoes, and you're looking for a new pair of shoes, do you run out and buy Joe's pick, just because HE likes 'em? Probably not. If a new shooter is asking what to buy for a carry gun, it doesn't matter what works for me, or anyone else. I suggest telling that new shooter to go to many gun shops, and/or gun shows, and handle all the guns they can get hold of. Just like they would try on shoes. Before long they'll be able to make a list of guns that feel ok, pretty good, real good, and "that really feels great in my hands". The last two are the ones to pursue, and here's why I say that....If a given handgun doesn't feel "right" in your hands, you'll not shoot it enough to become proficient with it, because it's not comfortable, and you won't like shooting it. Just like you rarely wear shoes that are UNcomfortable. If you're not gonna become proficient with it, save your money, and buy a ball bat to carry. With proper fundamentals, he/she can learn to shoot almost any handgun, or any caliber. Very few folks can re-train their hands to make just any handgun feel comfortable. The last suggestion... again....get some training......proper shooting techniques, practiced slowly, but proficiently, will breed speed. Do it slowly, and do it the right way, every time.......If you practice speed first, and introduce less efficient techniques into your training, you'll have to do it all over again to get it right. Most gun shops have a box of used holsters that you can experiment with after you've chosen what gun works best for you. There are many options for concealed/open carry.
By the way..... anyone who introduces a new shooter to our pastime by having them start with a large-caliber handgun, makes a very poor decision. Yes, some folks do ok starting out with large calibers, but the vast majority will not continue to shoot if their very 1st experience is with .50 S&W. Start with a .22 caliber something, and as your technique/accuracy improves, work up from there. Caliber doesn't count until after you can hit your target.
If you're buying a handgun for home protection, and you choose to NOT have it on your person, you should consider where in your home you might be if someone kicks the door in. I don't see a person in a position to be able to ask an intruder to "hang on a sec, while I get my gun"
There always will be a trade-off..... light weight, more recoil...... shorter barrel, more recoil...I've known more than a few gents who didn't care for the recoil of what's often called a "ladies gun"... just sayin....
Again, just my ramblings.... but they work for me...
Shoot Safely....
