Singapore buy house no need to come out money, cheebye where got such thing
These kind of woman they also like, their pua cheebye dunno how many man fuck before, hole big until can put jack fruit inside. Wait their lan cheow fall off then they know.
But Raymond say he buy the drinks, so I go with them. When we are drinking he told me that the new property law now can let you buy house with very little money.
Must be election coming, gahmen so good, make it easier for you to buy house, even though you still cannot find job. Is like those prostitute, let you touch touch their neh neh, make your lan cheow hard, then you forget the last time what sex disease they give you that you cannot pronounce the name one.
Singaporean is like that too. Always let the gahmen rub their cock, make them forget all the bad times.
Raymond said, last time can only loan 80%, now can loan 90%, and downpayment only 10%. Somemore 5% can CPF and 5% can be cash.
I said, ler gong simi lan cheow? What the fuck you talking, percent here percent there, I not fucking maths teacher, ok?
Oh, he said, is very simple.
Last time if the condom cost $500,000, need to come out $100k downpayment, then the rest ($400k) take loan. Now can come out only $25k cash, $25k from CPF for downpayment, then take $450k loan.
He said sian, I want to buy, but my HDB 5-room I bought too expensive, $400,000, in 2000, now the value only $300,000. Sell already sure confirm lugi, lose money until will tng kor. But fuck leh, I also want to buy private condom, he said.
I ask him, so now this new law change means house is cheaper issit?
Raymond said, no lah. Probably house price will go up, because more people see the 5% cash law sure gian one because no need come out so much cash to buy and then can take loan for long long time, like 35 years, then pay less every month lor, he said.
I told Raymond, 35 years is fucking long time to loan leh. Cheebye lah, you think you can have job for 35 years nobody retrench you ah? You don't forget, last 5 years, you kena retrench twice liao leh. So this time if you take new loan, then no job again, then how? Hong kan liao lor!
This gahmen is not god, ok, even though they want you to believe they can do magic and make the new job. Even blow job they also cannot promise you.
I told him, somemore if I take more loan like the new 90%, means my interest also more, right? (This one is I learn from I buy car.)
Ya lah, he said, but less to pay in front, and less to pay every month. Can one lah.
And then, I said, interest rate leh? Interest rate 35 years won't change meh? House price won't drop meh? Lan cheow, ok!
Singaporean damn like to pay by installment. Car installment, house also installment, even buy the fucking furniture and big tv also installment. I think my friends, if buy one fuck also can pay by installment, they will also apply.
Maybe next time the bank will issue new credit card, call the Geylang Gold Fuck Card. Go Geylang no need use money, just pay by installment. Fuck 5 times, get 1 suck free. Fuck 10 times, get 1 fuck free. Fuck 20 times, can win lucky draw prize of sports car and one night free with Irene Ang the Phua Chu Kang wife (the new skinny version, not the old fat one..... actually both also bad). Hahahahahahaha!!!!
Bank will love you long time, because your installment will never finish paying, every month you like to only pay the interest. Then you pray and hope your god will give you bonus at the end of the year to pay the rest.
Actually, bank is like the Ah Long and the Orh Gui Tao put together. Lend you money to go fuck yourself.
Anyway, I said to him, Gahmen also love to make you buy house loan long time. Like this you toolan here also won't dare to go overseas or vote opposition. With car loan 10 years and house loan 35 years to pay, you will guai guai sit there let them do what fuck they like, and hope their cheebye will always be like angel virgin clean, and won't give you disease until you die.
But by this time, Raymond never listen to me, because he too drunk already. And his hands very busy playing the waitress neh neh.

Rockson, I think I have gathered that you are a highly educated beng. Your analysis on housing price make alot of sense. Prices is based on afford-ability, supply and demand.
Now, the govt. has lower afford-ability. We only has supply and demand in the picture. If the govt. reduces that number of flat built per year, then supply will drop. And, we have only demand to play with.
Since everyone wants a house, demand is always here.
Now, affordability increases demand. Supply is controlled by the govt. We shall see how things play out. House price will definite increases if supply is low.
I read a ST article, mentioning that govt. wants to control housing price from sky rocketing. Off my head, the only way to prevent raising house pricing, it is to build more HDB flat to meet the demand then.
Can govt. handle this?
- Tuesday, July 26, 2005 2:25:00 AM
You arr right, Rockson. This spore govt. worst than dracula, suck until cock no water.
1. Telephone u use then U pay very cheap..Lancheow cheap now want to use also scared.
2.GST good no need to pay tax.
Lancheow no need..Now all family must pay GST
3.Take public transport. Bus all cut here cut there,take bus, take MRT then Bus again very cheap..Lancheow cheap.
4. Buy new buses, fare must go up..What like we got share like that..Lancheow
5. Work must multitasking, 1 person do three people work..Lancheow you MP very small zone also many MP, why not you do firsy jaga three zone. Talk cock only Cheebye.

Hey Ah Chek or Ah Soh...you don't like this blog you don't have to log in to read....shuuuu..piss off!
Honestly, you didn't read between the lines of our idol izit? This ah beng I think is a highly educated guy. No ah beng can punctuate so well. Maybe you don't like the truth about what he wrote. His vulgarities somehow attracted alot of readers too. I have a PHD too but I also enjoy reading this blog as he has terrific humor. I think if minus the vulgarities it becomes too boring.
3 thumbs up to you Rockson!

for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,
P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."

If one has to be sucessful, one has to rise above Human Nature.
My GF & I hold first, don't wanna buy HDB flat now. For what?
Join the whole gin gang to Q for something I don't even own?
I might as well stay my mom's 4 room flat. At least, my olde folks take care of our child.
Mom's working and 2 of us are working. So share the burden.
Stupid fellas then go and get the flat. Then get yourself into debts,debts and debt.
What abt renovation? Furniture....Nice thinking!
Factor into your plans buddy!
Lau kwee? Ferget it!
I rather lau kwee then get myself in knee deep debts man!

i stopped driving 2 years ago. saved a bundle from taxes, erps, inspection, insurance, petrol. I intend to sell off my flat. rent for the rest of my life. i work my butt 7 days a week morning to night and this year the govt as k me for $7100 in income taxes, $8000 in medisave and any extra medisave which used to go to ordinary account to pay my flat is changed now. it goes to special account which you can't touch. so more cash each month to pay home loan. Folks - don't be fooled by the illusions spun by he-who-must-not-be-named. wise up. be cash rich and mobile. otherwise you die up to your nose in debt

On July 19th, the second Icelandic Baja Endurance race was held on the SBKI track in Reykjavik. This time 6 drivers took on the 2 hour challenge, hoping to qualify for the Icelandic team going to the Nurburgring to compete in the 2009 Baja Endurance Challenge Finals 24-hour race. Everyone had a great time getting ready for this race, and the race was a tough challenge for those of the drivers who hadn't competed for this long before.
Hermann Olafsson took the lead for the first laps with Daniel Hinriksson pressing hard in second before overtaking him and holding on to first place for the rest of the race. Birgir and Bjorn Kristinsson showed that you don´t have to be the fastest in a Endurance race to have a good result, just hang in there and finish. They finished second and third. And again, the Baja 5T came out on top! Here are the final results: 1. Daniel Hinriksson (136 laps) 2. Birgir Kristinsson (114 laps) 3. Bjorn Kristinsson (110 laps) 4. Grzegorz Jarnicki (65 laps) 5. Hermann J. Olafsson (48 laps) 6. Marteinn Sigurðsson (34 laps) Third and final round before the big Baja Endurance race in Germany will be on August 16th.

This is a message for all that want to register here
Hi Guys,
I still have to find a better solution to all this but it's getting really hard to track, we are constantly blasted by SPAM and bots trying to register fake accounts on this forum.
I still have to find a better way to administer all this and/or see if I can find any plugin/stuff for PHPbb to automate/kill some stuff, one of the most tremendously annoying features of PHPbb seems you cannot select a bunch of users and delete them all in a go, you have to go one user at the time and delete it.
Fundamentally I get "98 spam registrations and maybe 2 are real", there's not always easy way to find out what's what, I cannot spend my whole day deleting registrations.
It turns out that having a forum is more a pain in the arse/spam well than useufl stuff, "unbelievable" how much you are hit by bots and things just trying to post stuff about viagara, buy this or that or look at my pr0n cam or such.
It's a mess.
If you want to be registered here, write me an email to email@example.com explaining ( briefly ) who you are, if I can't see you are a human and a real one your ( attempted ) registration will be deleted.
It's not ideal I know but at the moment I don't know ( yet ) what better to do, I could/will probably have to spend many hours during week end just deleting accounts and/or disproving stuff.
It's extremely frustrating but so it is, I am SO into projects and stuff and trying to finish things quick that I really don't need all this on top, it's just a monumental waste of time.
So "no proof of good registration, no account".
I don't know what else to do at the moment.
For a bit of this and that when needed.

VICTORIA — Premier Christy Clark lost no time Friday dismissing the latest opinion poll, which had her B.C. Liberals still trailing the New Democratic Party as campaign 2013 headed into the final weekend.
"I don't know how many times I've had this discussion," said Clark when asked about the NDP's six-point lead during a session with The Vancouver Sun editorial board. "I'm going to ask you to go back and look at the 8,000 other comments about the value of the kind of polling that you (media) guys focus on."
The survey in question was conducted by Ipsos Reid for Global TV and aired on the station's noontime broadcast, about the same time that the results were relayed to Clark.
"We don't rely on that type of information," Clark continued. Instead her B.C. Liberals, like other political parties, poll in much greater depth and do so pretty much every day, with the focus on key ridings instead of provincewide results.
Those internal findings have her insisting publicly that the party is still "competitive" with the NDP where it needs to be, in order to win enough seats (43 is the minimum) to secure a fourth term.
During the same editorial board session, she also scoffed at speculation that her own seat might be up for grabs Tuesday. "I'm rolling my eyes right now," was her reply when that speculation was put to her by a reporter participating via a conference call.
This close to voting day, with the gap in the polls less than half what it was at the outset of the campaign, there was nothing else for her to say on either score.
But both responses — not a whisper of a doubt in either — were illustrative of the relentless optimism that Clark has manifested throughout this campaign, going back to the days when the Liberals were being written off in all but a dozen or so seats.
Her closest friends and supporters predicted this all along. Through the darkest days of her term — the misbegotten ethnic memo, the dead-on-arrival throne speech, the faltering jobs numbers, the ... well, it is a long, long list — even many Liberals were speculating that she would somehow be forced out.
Again and again, reporters and pundits were told that we were "nuts" to expect that Clark would give up the premier's office without one crack at a provincial election.
Politics was in her blood. She loved the game. She'd honed her communications skills during a successful turn in talk radio. She was a great campaigner.
She was supremely confident that, given 28 days on the hustings, she could make a better impression with the voters than the untried, awkward, bookish Adrian Dix.
I had my doubts. But she has proven to be a good campaigner, never mind that much of the content of her campaign has more to do with attacking the New Democrats or overselling her own accomplishments than presenting a credible vision for the future.
Some of the lustre of her campaign style even managed to make her look like a better fit for the office she assumed two years ago. The Ipsos survey had her narrowly edging Dix (albeit within the margin of error) as the "best premier," 34 points to 31 points.
Not to suggest that either of them has wowed the electorate as well fitted for high office. But the result does tend to substantiate her observation that when governing, your performance is compared to perfection; when campaigning, you are being judged against your opponent.
Turning to the NDP's reading of the electoral situation as the campaign entered its final weekend, there was some concern about the Greens cutting into the NDP chances of winning in some ridings.
Time was when NDP leader Adrian Dix preached that it was "hugely disrespectful to voters" to suggest there was anything wrong with voting for one of the alternatives to the two main parties. But then the main prospect for vote splitting was the Conservatives siphoning support from the Liberals.
On Friday, the NDP rolled out former premier Mike Harcourt for an event in Oak Bay, where he warned "those of you who are thinking about voting Green" that the only way to ensure a progressive government was "by voting NDP."
Hugely disrespectful of the voters? Or proof positive that the New Democrats are desperate to prevent Andrew Weaver, the Green candidate in Oak Bay, from establishing a beachhead on the floor of the legislature?
Otherwise, the New Democrats maintain, based on their own internal polling and contrasting with the Liberal claim to competitiveness, that they are ahead in enough places to win a comfortable majority in the 50-seat range. And for me that is the plausible outcome.
The NDP is better organized, better at identifying its vote, better at getting it out to the polls. The party vote is more evenly distributed around the province, giving it an advantage over the Liberals in a close finish. The New Democrats are more united behind their leader. Plus they are hungrier, having been out of power for a dozen years.
On that basis, the odds continue to favour a change of government next week. But it now appears as if the voters will award Clark the consolation prize of electing a good-sized Liberal Opposition to hold the New Democrats to account.

The story of "Little Red Riding Hood" originated as a European fairy tale written by the French author Charles Perrault, and was later modified by The Brothers Grimm, among others. In reality, the story is more than a little dark and disturbing, and was unabashedly created as a cautionary tale of the consequences awaiting those who would ignore obvious signs of danger. Riding Hood is named after the scarlet hooded cape she wore, and certainly 'Red' had many wonderful characteristics, which ironically were also the very faults that ultimately (at least in Perrault's original version) led to her final undoing.
Red Riding Hood's faults?
She loved and was loved unconditionally: Her mother and grandmother lavished her with love and gifts and apparently doted on her, even gifting the girl with her eponymous red cover. This doting might have had the unintended result in Red's apparent inability to recognize that the world outside her home and village was not as safe as the place she left.
She was Naïve: Even after being warned by her mother that the woods were dangerous, and instructed to stay 'strictly on the path,' Red skipped off with a basket of food for her ailing grandmother, blissfully unaware of the danger that lurked all around her.
She saw the best in everyone, and discounted the danger signs: As Red skipped toward Grandma's house, she was stalked by the "Big, Bad Wolf," who followed her from behind the camouflage of the trees. When he ultimately approached the little girl and asked where she was going, instead of recoiling at the sight of a wolf, Red innocently told him the truth, having no clue the evil acts the Wolf intended to perpetrate with that information.
She refused to attribute evil motives to others, because she could not fathom the evil: The Wolf enticed the innocent child to pick flowers for her grandmother in what seemed to be a loving suggestion. In reality, it was to delay the child so that prior to her arrival at grandma's, he would have eaten the woman and devised an ambush for Red. What could be wrong with picking flowers for grandma?
As a result of the success of the Wolf's deception, he got to grandma's house ahead of Red and pretended to be her granddaughter. Then when grandma opened the door, the Wolf swallowed her whole, and set up the snare for the innocent girl. When the innocent Red arrived, she noticed that grandma looked somehow different.
"What a deep voice you have! And what big eyes you have!" She observed. "Goodness," she later exclaimed, "What big hands and teeth you have!" She accepted the ridiculous lies uttered to cover her observations, "The better to see you with…" And it was at that point that the Wolf leapt out of bed and swallowed Red, as he had her grandmother.
In Perrault's tale, the story ends there. The little girl is done in by her naïveté, optimism, goodness, and simple innocence. In the Grimm version, as well as French and traditional German versions, an alternate ending softens the blow for the reader, providing a lumberjack or a hunter to come to the rescue and cut open the wolf, releasing Riding Hood and her grandmother. Perrault's story seems more authentic, however. It is ironic that after the original tale was written, others would want to soften the terrible consequences of evil people and dilute the very message of evil that the original writer aimed to warn against. Perrault must have turned in his grave.
The uniquely European tale of Little Red Riding Hood, though originally penned in 1697 by Charles Perrault, is neither obsolete nor dated. In fact, it is as modern and relevant as tomorrow's newspaper. It is currently being retold in the case of Amanda Knox, a modern day Red Riding Hood.
On November 2, 2007, a naïve, idealistic and innocent American girl made a tragic mistake when she unexpectedly encountered a wolf on the trail, far from her own village. Instead of realizing the danger of her situation and how far she was from home, she remained where she was, even at the pleading of her mother to leave. This allowed the Wolves time to set a trap. Instead of recognizing that the prosecutor and police she dealt with were Wolves intent on devouring her, she remained in 'the woods,' confident that she was helping honorable people.
Amanda was pretty, well-raised, polite, courteous and compassionate. These qualities were exploited as vulnerabilities by the prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini, himself once sentenced to prison for malfeasance.
The Wolves took the information she gave them, and used it to hurt others and swallow her whole. The people she was trying to help turned on her and in one of the greatest travesties of justice in the modern world. They took Amanda's words, twisted them, then created or "found" flawed, formulated and false evidence to convict her and her boyfriend of the murder of her best friend in Italy. A murder that all evidence proves was committed by a burglar well-known to the prosecutor.
In the original tale by Perrault, there was no rescue for the innocent little girl. The story ended when the evil wolf devoured her. Later, Continental and British versions of the story ended with the rescue of the poor girl at the last second. We are soon to see which ending of Amanda's European tragedy we will see from Italy.
Why did Amanda not recognize the danger? For the same reason Red Riding Hood didn't recognize the Wolf. Evil often masquerades as good. Wolves don't always show their 'big teeth' and 'big eyes.' Frequently, they present with soft words, warm smiles, and feigned concern. And who are most vulnerable to this ruse? Ironically, those among us that are the most innocent. How tragically ironic that innocence itself is used to force the mask of guilt on blameless people.
Charles Perrault wrote his stories less as entertainment than as cautionary tales. To ensure that no doubt was left regarding a story's meaning, he explained them in detail. Of "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge," known to us today as "Little Red Riding Hood," Perrault explained as if reading from our headlines today:
"From this story one learns that children, especially young lasses; pretty, courteous and well-bred, do very wrong to listen to strangers, And it is not an unheard thing if the Wolf is thereby provided with his dinner. I say Wolf, for all wolves are not of the same sort; there is one kind with an amenable disposition – neither noisy, nor hateful, nor angry, but tame, obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the streets, even into their homes. Alas! Who does not know that these gentle wolves are of all such creatures the most dangerous!"

Australian Shepherds are the ultimate working dogs. Actually not from Australia, as one might rationally conclude, these pups grew in popularity as herding dogs because of their high energy levels and impressive intellect. These dogs like to be occupied with a job to do, and excel at many activities, including herding, search and rescue, and agility. Aussies often have distinctive merle coloring and bright, striking eyes that come in a variety of colors. They are medium-sized, smart, loyal dogs and make devoted companions to active families.Read More

Dara arrived home at the time announced. She is healthy, energetic, and soon became the baby of the house. I got Dara for daughter's birthday, a special reward for being honor student all along her high school. I am really grateful with all the enthusiastic communication during the transaction, we wait for Dara to grow up, while seeing pictures and videos of her. Then, as announced right before Dara became 8 weeks old we got Dara's itinerary, the confirmation she was coming home. Soon she was in my daughter's arms. We took her to the vet, who confirmed that Dara was healthy. Thanks to PuppySpot my daughter is enjoying her puppy. My daughter is joyous, she loves training, and keeping Dara active and happy. Thanks so much PuppySpot, you guys really helped me making one of my daughter's dreams come true!

NotesCurrent smoking is assessed using two questions: "Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire life?" and, if "Yes", "Do you now smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at all?" Current smokers are defined as those who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes and who now smoke every day or some days. Non-current smokers are those who have either never smoke 100 cigarettes or whom now smoke cigarettes not at all. Responses of "Don't know / Not sure" or "Refused" to either question are excluded.
Data SourceAlaska Data: [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/Chronic/Pages/brfss/default.aspx Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System], Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, DPH, Section of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
Data Interpretation IssuesThe Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a primary source for estimating arthritis prevalence for Alaska. The median of states, District of Columbia, and territories provides a comparison for the United States (U.S.). The BRFSS is a telephone survey of adults 18 and over. Information on background and methodology of the BRFSS managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can be found at: [http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/]. The website for the Alaska BRFSS is: [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/Chronic/Pages/brfss/default.aspx]. Post-stratification weights were used for Alaska prior to 2006; raking weights were used from 2007 onward. For more on this methodological change see: [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/Chronic/Pages/brfss/method.aspx].

DefinitionPercentage of adults 18 years of age and older who responded "Yes" on the [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/Chronic/Pages/brfss/default.aspx Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)] to the question: "Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia?"
NumeratorWeighted number of adults (18+) who responded "Yes" on the BRFSS to the question: "Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia?"
DenominatorWeighted number of adults (18+) with complete and valid responses on the BRFSS to the arthritis prevalence question, excluding those with missing, "Don't know/Not Sure," or "Refused" responses.
How Are We Doing?Prevalence of arthritis has slowly increased among Alaska adults since 2000, from 18.9% to 24.4% in 2018. Prevalence of arthritis increases with age. People who reported being unable to work or not in the workforce experienced significantly higher rates of arthritis (53.8% and 36.5% respectively) when compared to those who were employed (18.0%) or unemployed (13.4%). Prevalence of arthritis was also higher among obese people (31.9%) than people who were neither overweight nor obese (18.1%) or overweight (22.1%). Rates of arthritis from the BRFSS are initially presented for all Alaskans and Alaska Native people. Subsequent analyses are reported by demographic subpopulations of sex, age, race/ethnicity, ethnicity, marital status, education, employment status, income, and Medicaid eligibility. Crosstabulations were also conducted for three-year averages by body mass index, sexual orientation, number of Adverse Childhood Experiences, and self-reported general health. Rates of arthritis by regions of Alaska are presented for the most recent time period allowing reporting for all Alaskans and Alaska Native people: 1) single-year for the 7 Alaska Public Health Regions, 2) single-year for the 11 behavioral health assessment regions based upon aggregations of 20,000 population, and 3) five-year averages for the 12 tribal health organization regions. These time intervals match those for the InstantAtlas health profiles for each of the geographic regionalizations of Alaska for those desiring longer time series.
How Do We Compare With the U.S.?The rate of arthritis among Alaska adults has somewhat paralleled, but been consistently below the rate for the national median of states, District of Columbia, and territories. In 2018, the median prevalence rate for the U.S. was 26.1% and 24.4% among Alaska adults. It is important to note, however, that older age is associated with arthritis, and crude comparisons between Alaska and the U.S. may not reflect differences in age distributions.
What Is Being Done?Addressing the burden of arthritis requires coordinated and collaborative efforts among many organizations, such as governmental and public health agencies, private organizations such as the Arthritis Foundation, the area agencies on aging, health systems, health care providers, and others. These alliances help to assure the needed comprehensive approach to arthritis and help to promote the early diagnosis of arthritis. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/Chronic/Pages/default.aspx Section of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (CDPHP)] conducts the [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/Chronic/Pages/brfss/default.aspx Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)] to collect data used in monitoring trends, defining the burden of arthritis in Alaska, and assessing how arthritis affects the health-related quality of life of Alaska residents. CDPHP also continues to support the [http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/chronic/pages/selfmanagement/default.aspx Living Well Alaska] chronic disease self-management program (CDSMP) through its collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service. The [http://www.arthritis.org/alaska/ Arthritis Foundation] is the largest and most trusted nonprofit organization dedicated to conquering the challenges of people with arthritis. In Alaska, the Arthritis Foundation provides digital tools, Better Living Toolkits, and the Arthritis Today magazine. Additionally, the Foundation provides children with juvenile arthritis JA Power Packs and Arthritis Foundation JA camps.

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?xenopod Feb 21, 2008 5:49 PM (in response to Bluesuit)We use Comcast digital voice service. We have no problems with the service, and the rates are reasonable since we use it heavily. We do not call overseas though (I do not know if it is possible with them), but we call Canada frequently and that is built into our pricing which makes it a lot more favorable compared to when we were calling Canada from our cell phones!1 of 1 people found this helpful

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?grantsforce Feb 22, 2008 8:51 AM (in response to Bluesuit)We use Skype. Since there is a huge market in the EU for this service, several of our calls there are free. We also have video-conferencing in the package. Although you can try comparing it to Vonage and Packet 8, this was a good deal for us. There are other providers that offer you an 800 number for an additional charge. Skype does not provide that service.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?Buffalo Feb 22, 2008 9:00 AM (in response to Bluesuit)We use Vonage for our home phone service and love it. We probably saving $40 or more a month over our old service.

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?jbmalik Feb 26, 2008 12:24 PM (in response to Bluesuit)Bluesuit: Both Skype and Vonage are reliable, low-cost Voip services to make local/long distance/international calls. Skype is one of your cheaper alternatives, but requires a PC and high speed connection to use. With Vonage, you only need a high speed connection. I have lots of reviews/resources on these and other services - check out http://www.small-business-phone.com/resources

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?coastsider Feb 26, 2008 3:59 PM (in response to Bluesuit)As others have said, VoIP is only as good as your internet connection. If your upload speed drops below 128k, the signal will get choppy. I currently use VoIP with a video phone capability and love it. It is particularly great when you are connecting with family and friends. The company is ACN which is a very successful network marketing company. check www.myacn.com. They have overseas as well.

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?coastsider Feb 26, 2008 4:17 PM (in response to jbmalik)ACN is a VoIP provider with products similar to Vonage and the others. They also have an internet based video phone and just happen to market via a network marketing approach along with other phone products.

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?guitarboy8d6 Feb 28, 2008 1:39 PM (in response to Bluesuit)Yes, My company uses vonage. I would say go for it. We have had little trouble with it, the cost is far cheaper than what we would be paying Embarq (the local provider of the area), and it has great features which keeps us going.1 of 1 people found this helpful
I run a business that requires great attention to clients, how ever there are times when all of us are out of the office. With vonage it emails all 3 key people the voicemail. We have are cell phones set up to accept email. Then we can listen to the voicemail from our mainlines with vonage on our cell phone and return a call in a quick and timely manner. We have 6 lines including a toll free line for clients to call in on. You can do call forwarding, call waiting and everything just like a normal phone, but vonage goes a step further and adds abilities that normal phone companies don't, like the ability to forward to the next line only if the line being called in on is busy for no extra charge, no extra equipment. You just pay for the main line then add a go to there web control panel and change 3-4 settings and that is it.
We are expanding to Europe in the next year and with vonage we just add a European line so we will have a few European toll free numbers forwarded to our U.S. Numbers and it is dirt cheap in comparison to other methods. (To get international numbers you do have to call in and work out a special arrangement).
Also I see that you ask about calling overseas and yes you can in most foriegn rates are extremely cheap. Certian countries like the UK there is no extra minute charge for calling. It is just like calling someone next door.
I would highly reccomend vonage to any business user if you have a of stable high speed internet connection, and looking to replace a traditional phone system.
I will say I have never used the fax line so I have know idea how that would work, but if you are doing faxes you should probably check out something like efax.
Hope this helps answer your question.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?Technoguy Jun 17, 2008 5:13 PM (in response to Bluesuit)
We use a company called Broadband Centric. They are based in Long Island. We eliminated our old PBX system with their Hosted PBX customer. We are very happy with the quality and the performance so far.
They also have a product called SIP Trunking which allows you to connect your existing PBX using internet. This also is a good product since you can use your existing phones and get the price advantage of the VOIP. They also combine their bundle with the Verizon analog lines with seamless failover. This is great redundant option, especially for business. Good hunting.
Their web site is www.bbcentric.com.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?Archangel Jul 2, 2008 6:14 PM (in response to Bluesuit)As you've seen from previous posts there are a lot of solutions available that are low cost and, for the most part, reliable. Even magicJack works if you configure it correctly. I'd say for a business though, go with skype or vonage as they have the market positon to offer the level and reliability of support your going to want. Still, I have to say that some of the other solutions talked about in this thread are very interesting and probably merit a look as well.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?jeremyv Jan 13, 2009 1:31 AM (in response to Bluesuit)
VoIP will really save you on long distance calls, whether it's a local long distance or overseas calls. Rates are about half or less than your local phone provider and if you make a few calls here and there then it will certainly add up. We use Onesuite VoIP (Onesuite.com) here and it saves us quite a few bucks and everything can be done online so you can check your calls, cost, phone numbers anytime, available to you 24/7.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?ITService Jan 26, 2009 4:42 PM (in response to Bluesuit)Bluesuit,
Yes, VoIP can save you a lot of money, especially when doing overseas calls or a lot of calls in general. If done right, it is very cost effectve and works very well. However, there are a lot of potential risksand problems along the way if done incorrectly. A lot depends on your business network and ISP. If any link between the two is weak, you will not have a positive experience. Also, the carrier has a lot to do with it, and would not recommend the "commonly known" carriers in most cases.
You're welcome to contact me off-line for assistance, as we do have VoIP service offerings. Visit http://www.interdict-it.com for info or call 602-296-1881. I can offer some pointers based on your setup and needs. Our solution may not be what you are looking for, but may be able to give some pointers to help avoid the pitfalls along the transition.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?instantv Jan 26, 2009 5:19 PM (in response to Bluesuit)I suggest you take a good look at magicjack.com, the cost is only $40 for the first year of umlimited calling in the USA and Canada including the unit and $19.95 each additional year.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?ssrevare Jan 28, 2009 5:02 PM (in response to Bluesuit)Bluesuit,
I use a VoIP solution for my 10 person business. I use a company called SipVine, but they only serve Kansas City. I am very happy with our features (link email voicemail messages) and overall pricing, but we had to expand our broadband capacity over time to accomodate our needs. Each of our employees are heavy internet users, so our call quality was negatively impacted as we grew until we added both a T1 line and one DSL line.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?smb1st Feb 4, 2009 2:11 PM (in response to ssrevare)I have being using Vonage for 3 years, great service and it's priced right for this economy.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?amspcs Feb 4, 2009 2:21 PM (in response to Bluesuit)We use Vonage for our main business line. LOVE it.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?GeorgiosG Feb 6, 2009 12:08 AM (in response to amspcs)Although VoIP offers grat prices (I personally have a voipvoip account, have loaded $10 on it and still trying to spend it after almost a year!) it cannot be the only solution, since it doesn't support fax, emergency calling and remote management of alarm systems.
We recommend a hybrid IP/Analog PBX that connects both to the phone wall plug and the broadband router. You can set this up to make all calls via voip by default, but send faxes and activate burglar alarms with the analog line, possible using a different prefix.
Solo Small Business Gateway (www.sologateway.com) provides all this (an a lot more, as it is a full File/Web/Mail/Printer/Backup server as well!) and can be setup and administered by someone with the IT skills of a secretary.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?jimintex Feb 9, 2009 4:41 PM (in response to GeorgiosG)
I wasn't aware of any issues between fax and VoIP. I'll have to check that out.
RingCentral is another option, and it also includes 800 numbers, automated call routing and hunting, and a virtual PBX. Unless you've already got a robust system of controls for your calls, you'll want to be sure your VoIP system provides the sorts of business options you've come to rely on with your older style service. For most of us, the cost for just using Skype or the like is outweighed by the fact that it doesn't handle incoming calls very well, or manage phone traffic.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?jeremyv Feb 17, 2009 1:47 AM (in response to jimintex)The problem with sending a fax through voip is the way the codecs are design to compress voice. With VoIP, voice are transmitted by packets and although some packets maybe lost by the time it arrives on the other end, theres still enough packets to have a clear voice on the other line. With faxing, there should be steady transmission of data or else the transmission will stop.
That is why it's not wise to rely on voip when sending fax and its advisable to get a separate fax to email service. RingCentral has one with virtual pbx features. If you don't need PBX then Onesuite.com three-in-one (prepaid calling card, VoIP, online faxing) service is a very good choice.

Which would explain why it hasn't been an issue. Ok, thanks!
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?jeremyv Feb 17, 2009 2:26 AM (in response to jimintex)Not sure what do you mean by "Which would explain why it hasn't been an issue"
I already explain the issue of sending fax over voip. Using an online fax service is a different thing altogether because its not real time. If you use a voip to send fax, it means that your fax machine is tied up on your voip line. Sending to another fax machine this way usually creates error because of the codecs, packets and compression issue which is not the case with online fax service.
Re: anyone use (VoIP)?hongtian Feb 6, 2009 11:53 AM (in response to Bluesuit)I suggest miniSipServer and Vonage.

Hi there,
I am using VoIP services for my small business. it is quite affordable for me as I cannot go exceeding my budget. My friend recommended me VoIP services. So, on his recommendation I subscribed to VoIP services from the Real PBX.
You can use VoIP PBX services to save money. Yes, you can make local and international calls at cheap calling rates.

Re: anyone use (VoIP)?amspcs Jan 20, 2012 10:13 AM (in response to Bluesuit)
We use Vonage for the business line, and Comcast for the personal line. Both are money savers and we are relatively happy with both. In particular, the buttons and whistles that come with Vonage are wonderful. I have to say that VOIP communication is not 100% as clear and crisp as old fashioned Ma Bell landline communication. But it comes pretty darn acceptably close. A couple of important disclaimers: First, because of the limitation of losing phone service whenever the internet goes down (which happens more often than I'd like), I recommend that anyone uising VOIP also have dependable non-internet dependent communication backup, such as a landline or cell. Secondly, before any of you go out and dump Ma Bell for VOIP, stop, think and check if there will be any complications with things like your home security communication devices and others, some of which won't work with VOIP. Finally, this is to all you businesseds out there with dial-up credit card machines hooked up to your phone jacks.: Be aware that VOIP is NOT compatible with many of them, so be careful lest you find as soon as you dump Ma Bell your credit card machine won't work anymore. In this case, you might need to replace your older dialup machine with a newer 'dual comm' machine that allows hookup to a DSL router instead of a telehone jack. You'll spend a few bucks on the machine, but your phone bill savings should soon make up the difference..

Its just the explanation of the mission isn't very clear or i did't understand it, It says:
"Begin with the upper line, and add the lower line without a blank in between."
Well I'm guessing this is the unscrambling method, BUT
1. What does it mean by add? is it like concatenate or mathematically add (like pixel position)!
2. What does it mean by the lower line? is it the next line or the bottom line!
3. What does it mean by a blank in between?

However, I am still curious as to how others have solved this using the background. If someone could please PM me how they sorted the lines based on the background, I would appreciate it. I'm curious.

but what did you use? i can't imagine.
