Where is the HTC in this line up. Using the HTC DESIRE HD, its astonishing how good this phone is. 110%
2010: it's a wrap The iPhone has been the smartphone to beat since, well, since it was first launched in 2007 - doesn't that seem a very long time ago now? In the intervening years, it's gained what some would consider smartphone essentials - 3G network access, cut'n'paste, third-party apps - and it's changed its look a …
Where is the HTC in this line up. Using the HTC DESIRE HD, its astonishing how good this phone is. 110%
I can't speak to the Desire HD...but I do have the original Desire. I have used it, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS extensively. I was not a huge fan of the iPhone 4...but I did rather like the 3GS. The original HTC Desire on the other hand, I have very little to complain about.
If I were to break the phones down, this is how:
iPhone 3GS:
Reliable. Well thought out and mature product that doesn't have any obvious flaws. The newer iOS versions are a little laggy on this older hardware. It is the standard against which I judge all smart phones: to date it still may be the best overall smartphone in existence.
iPhone 4:
Mostly reliable. I have had reception issues in areas where the Desire or the 3GS work just fine. On the other hand it's screamingly fast with fantastic battery life for the performance level. I have seen a few with broken back glass: take care of it! The huge con is the locked-down nature of iOS. It became infinitely more useful once jailbroken – and no, I didn't jailbreak in order to pirate apps.
HTC Desire:
A tank. Whilst the screen is slightly more vulnerable to scratches than an iPhone 4, it is otherwise capable taking an unbelievable amount of abuse. It is rock solid: it gets a signal where no other phone seems capable. The downside is that Android is not well optimised for this CPU: while the Desire is screamingly fast, simple things such as menu transitions can end up with 4-5 FPS. Great with optimised applications, however HTC Sense is not optimised.
In all, I think the HTC Desire (non HD) is a perfectly credible contender for the iPhone 4. It is certainly a more worthy opponent to the iPhone 4 than the HTC Hero was to the 3GS. In some ways, I honestly believe the iPhone 4 was a step backwards from the 3GS…in others (such as the front-facing camera) it's a leap into the future. I fully expect that the next generation iPhone will solve all the little niggles.
In the meantime, HTC keeps going from strength to strength. I have my issues with Samsung (mostly over poor support for the original Samsung Galaxy) and Motorola (mostly over poor support for, well...everything.) HTC, meanwhile, is showing the world what Android phones truly can do.
iPhone versus Android really comes down to a philosophical choice. Android is more open: generally, it's YOUR phone. You have a lot of freedom under Android that you just don't under iOS. The flip side to that is Android fragmentation: like it or not, the lack of device fragmentation on the Apple side of the house leads to an operating system that is far more tightly optimised for the hardware it is running on.
With the HTC Desire and the iPhone 4 being so close to each other in terms of capability, speed and app loadout, choosing between them is a simple question:
What matters more; the (non-jailbroken) openness of your handheld, or the smoothness of the "experience?"
I got bitten when they refused to update Android 1.5 on the Dext.
So until I'm due to upgrade, it's been rooted & 2.1 installed.
Please explain El Reg....
I think the reviews are not partial, although not an apple fanboi have to admit that the iphone 4 is definitely up there, giving higher scrores to Dell streak and ilk is a travesty! I am a windows Phone 7 user and love the new OS. In my opinion right now it's between iphone and windows phone 7 for the most usable, reliable and fun to use mobile. Blackberry is a workhorse, not a fun mobile but can appreciate it. I think iphone is slightly better than WP7 but WP7 is catching up. Android doesn't even start the race because of battery problems task manager issues (at least from my experience).
Considering you gave it 90% I'd have thought the desire should be on the list
I've had both the iPhone and a HTC Desire and enjoyed them both, but I'm afraid for everyday 'out of the box' usability the iPhone wins. Most users (even some Reg readers) just want it to work without any pratting about. When I wanted to use a different and superior SMS messaging system on the Android I struggled to stop them both working together. I wanted to install a push email app too but couldn't find a way to remove the default one.
Finally got an iPad..... Just the most wonderful device ever, so I've junked the Android phone and got a nice simple Nokia 6700 with simple interface and gorgeous chromed exterior.
There is one massive flaw in your argument: iTunes.
some of us dont even have an itunes account. Not all of us want to be part of the apple rage.
It fulfils the purposes of syncing your phone, allowing you to purchase music, apps, etc and - if you have one - slowing your Windows PC to a grinding halt. It just works and it just works slowly.
OS X 10.6 includes a faster, neater rewrite of QuickTime (operating in parallel for now, until codec support improves), the Windows version of Safari eventually became a proper Windows application and iTunes appears to use the outdated Carbon framework even on OS X so there is hope for a dramatic fix in the near future. Not that it's much comfort.
So, you're complaining because you actually had the opportunity to replace the SMS or Email apps on the Android device, as opposed to the iPhone where any app which replicates the functionality of an official Apple one is banned?
You do not need an iTunes account unless you want to purchase from the app store..
Well, maybe it does if you run Windows or OSX. Seems they haven't heard of Linux.
Since when has the iPhone been ' the standard' and has nobody been able to catch up? Open your eyes, Apple monkey...
If the iPhone isn't the standard, what is? Lemme guess - you think it should be droid...wow, there's a hypocritical surprise...
If volumes dictate 'the standard' it should neither - it'll be nokia.
...then why does everyone else copy it so slavishly? the Samsung Galay could hardly LOOK more like an iPhone. Shame it has that stupid blue-vision screen and crap OS.
That's a vastly better handset than Samsung's horrible plastic Galaxy S, which is apparently riddled with bugs.
I'm also not convinced that there's anything special about the iPhone's grid of icons, and it's hardly fair to say Android copied this when one of the selling points of Android is that it's so customisable that no two phones will look the same. Android's flexibility and widgets knock the iPhone interface into a cocked hat.
Lemon 4 is like no other phone as was duff when it hit the streets and Jobs swept the problem under the carpet and lied saying all was well.
The respected U.S. Consumer Reports condemned the thing, too>
Still, Versions 1-3 are even good enough to make calls.
(iPhans click the red button below)
Man, you are D-U-L-L.
Bla bla bla "iPhan", bla bla "Lemon 4". Give up, already.
"Wherever Apple needs putting down! Wherever there is debate on the pro's and con's of Apple vs the rest! He'll be there! The man! The myth! The Apple-hater's, Apple-hater!".
I see you're 'Keepin' it real!' today JaitcH!
That's exactly why it bombed so hard and didn't sell. Oh wait!
If Apple manages to get somebody so worked up it must be doing something right.
Can't you iPhans figure out when you're getting wound up?
But you guys are just as bad. As much as you hate Apple being knocked and make accusations against JaitcH - you appear to accept Apple products whatever their attributes - good or bad.
That makes you no different from him!
Why is the iPhone marked so low? There's no better display, no bigger app store and why would you need a cover? Mine is still pristine after 4 months whereas my friends' HTCs are looking scuffed. As for price, £99 and £30 a month on 3 ain't bad at all. Not saying it's the best in every area, but come on - it's a damn good product. 90%+ easily.
Like the article says unless you put it in a protective gase tje iphone 4 is an accident waiting to happen. One thing that put me off about the iphone is the contracts are expensive at least £10 a month more than one with other phones
Actually, based on recent experience, I'd revise my opinion of the iPhone 4 upward.
Thrown in anger literally across the room and then whacked with serious vigour against a hard table corner, it walked away unscathed.
Yes, it's made of glass, but yes, it's effing tough.
iPhone owners enthuse about how thin their phone is, how it looks beautiful sandwiched between two layers of glass. Then what do they do? Shove it in an ugly leather case or similar. Explain that one.
I have to agree with you there, what's the point of a beautiful phone if you hide it in an ugly case?
I'm as anti-Apple as they come, but I have to admit that the styling on the iPhone 4 is lovely, in a market sector where most phones look like plastic kiddies' toys. If I had one I'd be keeping it out of the case, and showing it off. If it gains a few scratches in the process, who cares? Admit it, you'll be buying an iPhone 5 next year anyway.
I'm certainly not hiding my HTC Desire in a case, and it's still pristine 6 months down the line.
OK, so it's looking a bit battered - stone chips out of the ally case where I've dropped it, and a noticeable bend where I walked into a bollard when it was in my thigh pocket, but the screen is still pristine and the slider works flawlessly.
Just wish their update policy was a bit more speedy.
What, exactly, is the point of having a beautiful phone? It's not like it's a car that everyone can see all the time or your home because it spends most of its life in a pocket.
I'd much rather have a massively functional phone, something with decent battery life that needs charging every couple of days instead of halfway through a day and can hold a signal even in the depths of nowhere (or a datacentre) when I need tech advice or am asked to give it.
No, there are lots of reasons why the iPhone doesn't suit me. It is a delightful piece of engineering tech (as is the iPad I won in a raffle*, damnit, I wanted the holiday) and it looks gorgeous but I buy my tech for function, not to show off with and there are other 'phones that suit my needs better.
* The iPad is hopefully going to make someone very happy this Christmas as a gift.
"The iPhone's menu grid of icons has the double advantage of being both attractive and practical. It's been largely copied by Rim's BlackBerry OS and Google's Android"
My 2002 Nokia used a grid of icons (like all S60 devices) as well my wife´s LG Viewty (which is pre iPhone era ) So I would not say that BB and Android copied it from Apple
My 2000 Palm IIIe used a grid of icons. I'm sure the paradigm extends back further, even, than that.
My Windows 95 used a grid of icons. So did my Atari ST, now that I think about it. I'm sure the paradigm extends back even further than that (Xeroc PARC?)
that 'grid of icons' thing extends all the way bag to the APPLE LISA.
You people are talking as if a grid of icons was a smart idea.
How else would you arrange them on a rectangular screen?
Xerox Parc was the first desktop with grid of icons. Apple Lisa was the first of many copies. Sorry Frank, you can't claim Apple invented everything just by quoted something super old.
By loosely placing them freely on the screen, even on top of each other, of course.
They are talking about the seemingly inexhaustible supply of twits who will swear blind that because something is used on an Apple product, it must be the first and best, and that everybody else is copying them.
I've not only seen posts to the effect on various forums, but I've seen people trying to maintain that Apple using rounded corners was a new magical idea, and that others are copying them..
"They are talking about the seemingly inexhaustible supply of twits who will swear blind that because something is used on an Apple product, it must be the first and best, and that everybody else is copying them." Which is countered by an equally inexhaustible supply of twits who will swear blind that Apple have never done anything innovative or contributed anything to computing. Your veiled troll does nothing to help the situation.
Not a bad article, but what's with the ratings. iPhone 4 and blackberry torch get the same score? Seriously?
I had a iPhone3GS and it was OK, I had a iPhone4, it was slightly better, but when it went wrong after a couple of weeks, I got a refund.
I picked up a HTC Legend, and it's substantially better than even the iPhone4. It feels solid (VERY solid, with a single unibody ally body), and it does everything my iPhone did, but better, and usually cheaper too. The apps seem better priced on Android, and there are always free alternatives.
I wouldn't bother with an iPhone now. It may have been in early, but in 2011, there are too many better phones for much less money. Unless you are buying it for the status symbol aspect of it (is a iPhone a status symbol when every chav capable of shoplifting goods owns one?)
Mine's the one which can make an actual phone call on...oh yes, that means the Jesus phones a utter failure in this doesn't it.
Sorry to spoil your closed minded opinion.
I have had mine since they were released, and have yet to have even one call dropped.
It keeps a better signal than any other phone I have owned too.
Data connections can go a bit squiffy, but otherwise no issues here at all.
Never had one dropped call since iphone 1 was released?!
You either live with a cell antenna up your behind and never move, or the Job's distortion field can bend radio waves as well as reality!
Or maybe you have no friends to call.
My iPhone 3GS is the best mobile I've ever had in the core function of simply making and receiving phone calls. Before I got the iPhone, I expected it to be poor in this regard, but it's proved me completely wrong n practice.
Sounds to me like you might want to actually try an iPhone before writing it off.
So people who get good phone usage on no dropped calls are talking bollox? You're sad.
I suppose you are one of those who downvoted Tony Smith's comment that his iPhone 4 was very tough. When someone makes a positive comment based on their own experience, it's sad bozos like you (who probably don't get out much either, and their only friend is JaitcH!) who have to call them liars.
FYI. I've had my iPhone 4 for just coming up to 3 months. In that time I've had 3 dropped calls. far fewer than I'v had with my horrible Nokia. And who is to say that the dropped calli s the fault of the iPhone? It could well be the phone at the other end.
My iPhone 4 is the best PHONE I have ever had since my STC Trimphone. In conjunction wih my mac I run my business on it.
I'm on AT&T, have been since i was forced to leave both Verizon and Sprint (one work phone, one personal phone) since only one worked at home and only one worked at work, and both dropped calls like rain. Since my switch in mid 2008, I've dropped a grand total of 9 calls, and the wife has dropped 1. We've since moved, and there's a bit better Verizon access at our home, but a roommate moved in with Verizon, and by the time he moved out he switched to Sprint, citing DROPPED CALLS, even when he had 4 and 5 bars. I have batter call clarity with 1 or 2 bars than he has with 4.
For our office, there are 3 Verizon towers closer to the building than the one AT&T tower in range. We can actually SEE the Verizon tower, less than 1.5 miles away. Unless you're near a window, its useless. Even in the subfloor (basement) I get calls fine on AT&T, as well as in the elevators and in every part of the complex. Sprint put a microcell on the roof, but in the cafe 11 floors below, good luck getting a signal on that. AT&T works in all parts of the building, Verizon does not, and they have more towers and closer towers. More than 80% of the staffers have switched to AT&T, and most of them claim better signal at home after switching.
When I moved to the US from the UK and found that most mobile operators would make a big point about "less dropped calls than X". In Europe the advertising had moved away from dropped calls about 10 years ago because they are no longer a big problem in Europe. The US networks drop calls because they aren't as good as European ones, not just because of the phones. Individual experiences with dropped calls are often much more to do with the network than with the phone. Yes, the iPhone 4 external antenna which could have it's impedance (and therefore tuning) changing just by holding it was downright stupid, but most dropped call problems in the US are definitely network. I work on Times Square, and recently switched from AT&T to Verizon just because AT&T is virtually unusable in Manhattan. On Times Square I had not had a call last longer than 5 minutes without getting dropped for almost a year, regardless of the Phone. The iPhone users generally have problems with the incredibly slow AT&T network in the Big Apple. On the other hand, I get annoyed not being able to use my Motorola Droid on any network other than Verizon, so when I go overseas it is an expensive brick. It is all a bunch of compromises, and it is very dependent on where you live.
at the core function of making and receiving calls - but bought one anyway?

Neymar has pledged to stay at Santos following the latest round of rumours regarding his future in Brazil.
Following the news that Pep Guardiola will take charge of Bayern Munich from next season, a report in Friday's edition of AS suggested the young forward could join the former Barcelona boss in Bavaria.
However, although he has the utmost respect for the 41-year-old, Neymar insists he is not in a rush to realise his European ambitions and wants to continue his development with the Peixe.
"He [Guardiola] is a great coach, one of the best in the world, and yes, I have a desire to one day work with him, as with the other great coaches [in world football]," he told reporters.
"But I will say it again: I want to carry on playing for Santos. I'm happy here."
The 20-year-old, who recently denied that he had agreed a deal to join Barca either in the summer or next year, has a release clause of €70 million.

In one of his lesser works, Ernest Hemingway famously observed that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." Not true, but true enough, and I think the same might be said of modern American theater with respect to one play by Eugene O'Neill called Long Day's Journey Into Night. Written by O'Neill in 1941-42, but not published until 1956, after his death, the play comes straight out of O'Neill's painful family life.
It is an incredibly influential play. I hear it in the work of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, August Wilson, and David Mamet, as well as in the best work of lesser playwrights such as Frank Gilroy in The Subject Was Roses and Tracy Letts in August: Osage County. O'Neill showed a lot of American playwrights how to put home truths up on stage.
Long Day's Journey is a play that runs four hours in production. I have previously seen it only in the 1962 film version, directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Katharine Hepburn and Jason Robards, and the 1987 television production, directed by Jonathan Miller, starring Jack Lemmon and Kevin Spacey. The 1987 television production can be seen in its entirety here on YouTube.
Minneapolis's Guthrie Theater is now running an accomplished production of Long Day's Journey, directed by Joe Dowling, through February 23. We saw it with friends on January 19, the week after it had opened. I loved it. If you haven't seen it live before, this is a great opportunity to do so and, if you live in the vicinity of Minneapolis, it might even be worth a special trip.
Rohan Preston has reviewed the production for the Star Tribune. My favorite reviewer, the Wall Street Journal's Terry Teachout, will not be taking it in, perhaps because of his reasonable reservations about the play. If he were to give the Guthrie production a look, I think he might note the following.
The Guthrie production compresses the text and has the actors talking over each other (extremely effectively) to achieve a streamlined running time of three hours. The production performs a service to the play in doing so. The cast is good and Helen Carey, as Mary Guthrie, stands out with a luminous portrait of a tortured soul. Dowling has brilliantly staged the play to put the rest of the family in motion revolving in orbit around her. She dominates the production. Indeed, it is worth seeing if only for her performance, but there is much more on offer here for anyone interested in the play.

DSS Fellowship Program Will Develop Leadership, Foster Innovation in Social Service Delivery
"By recognizing and supporting individuals in state government and community organizations who demonstrate innovative thinking and problem-solving, we will build a community of leadership and solution-driven collaborations within the state that will spark improved social service outcomes for Louisiana," said Secretary Nichols. "I am excited to partner with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to arm future leaders in social services with the training and leadership skills they need affect change and innovation in our state."
The Innovation in Louisiana Government Fellowship will support 15 fellows based on nominations of individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the delivery of social services through training and technical assistance. Potential nominees include individuals within state government or community-based organizations who are committed to improving the social service delivery system. Nominees should have ideas for social service projects that can be developed over the course of the six-month fellowship into ready-to-implement initiatives.
The deadline for nominations for the first class of fellows is Friday, June 19, 2009, by 5 p.m.
Visit www.dss.state.la.us/leadership for information, nomination instructions and an online nomination form. Self-nominations are allowed.
Once selected, fellows will collaborate to develop implementation plans for individual fellowship projects that have the potential to foster change in business processes that achieve cost savings and increase efficiencies, intervention strategies that achieve improved client outcomes or systems level integration strategies that lead to improved service delivery.
During the six month program, fellows will participate in an Innovation and Leadership Academy, which will consist of both a virtual learning environment and a formal curriculum including expert speakers, technical assistance, peer information sharing, collaborative social networking tools, and Web-based meetings and teleconferences.
Upon completion of the fellowship, the best developed innovation project will receive a $1,500 award. All participants will receive a $500 stipend, and their employing organization will receive a $500 staff development award.
Nichols also will appoint a Social Services Leadership Forum of statewide members representing community-based and non-governmental agencies, as well as government and industry. The forum will select fellows and hold a twice yearly Leadership and Innovation Conference. The first conference, to be held in August, will serve as the orientation and opening summit for the first class of fellows. The second conference, to be held in February 2010, will include graduation activities and the presentation of the final fellowship projects.
In addition, the forum will advise DSS on policy and program issues on a regular basis and will provide input on innovative solutions to help streamline DSS services and increase the efficiency of business practices.
Nichols said DSS also will introduce a schedule of monthly Web casts, which will allow stakeholders from around the state to participate together in virtual meetings that will provide networking opportunities and updates on new and ongoing DSS programs. As part of these meetings, DSS will arrange for nationally recognized guest speakers to give lectures and facilitate discussions about issues that are important to the social service delivery system in Louisiana.

Our founding fathers anticipated many potential threats to their envisioned democratic republic and included safeguards in our Constitution.
Since 1787, three threats to America have evolved to dire status and require safeguards. Namely, career politicians, special-interest money and immoral conduct. Of the three, immorality is the greatest threat.
Morals are manmade. They boil down to simple right and wrong.

The annual Cops & Rodders 2 2013 Car Show to benefit the Kentucky Sheriffs' Boys & Girls Ranch and the Anderson D.A.R.E. program's Shop With a Cop with Sheriff Troy Young hosting the event was a huge success.
We send our sincere thanks to Sheriff Young, the Anderson County Sheriff's Office and all those supporting this event and helping out. Your support and help of this event ensures we continue to reach Kentucky's youth in a positive manner.

This is in response to the guest column written by Jerry Milburn that appeared two weeks ago.
Sir, with all due respect, you do err. You see, God had no intentions to dismiss his holy name from the nation, public or any other document set forth by those who refused to trust in him. The Bible didn't get this far for nothing. Matthew10:33: "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

We would like to thank everyone who came out Oct. 12 for the benefit held to help Nick Crouch.
It was a success. We appreciate everyone who donated and supported the effort to assist Nick.

To the editor:
I read Mr. Jerry Millburn's guest column (Hypocrites on school board know they're wrong) in the paper a few weeks ago and would like to share some observations.
Mr. Milburn made a reference to prayer being in the closet. Sure, the Bible makes that statement in Matthew 6:6. The only problem is that refers to personal prayer and not group.
Regarding the ACLU — and those collaborators who work with it to strip Kentucky of its Christian identity — it's worth remembering that "love your enemies" doesn't mean "pretend you haven't any."
When liberals let on like they'll be satisfied if only we agree to their latest "small" and "fair" demand, they are lying. Always.
To the editor:
I read Mr. Jerry Millburn's guest column (Hypocrites on school board know they're wrong) in last week's paper and would like to share some observations.
To the editor:
Seems like the well-dressed thugs of the ACLU have notified Kentucky schools with their latest demands to censor any faith-based materials or activities for the coming year. Sadly, many school districts across the state have cowered to the demands, thus robbing students, teachers and others of their First Amendment protection of "free exercise" or religion.
To the editor:
On Sept. 21, many people from our community came together for the Anderson County Prayer Walk. Although we did not get to walk due to the weather, those in attendance accomplished our goal: to exalt Jesus Christ and to be unified in our prayers for Anderson County.
We would like to thank everyone who made the gathering possible. To all the people who gave of their time, talent and treasure, we say, "May God richly bless you!"
To the editor:
I am writing in regards to the matter of the separation of church and state, and how it has recently affected our community, namely our school system.
I do not profess to be a history, constitutional or theology scholar (or any other type of scholar for that matter) but feel compelled, indeed obligated, to speak out.

Our software increase productivity and profitability through the consolidation of data and automation of routine tasks associated with the daily regimen of trading electricity.
Offers a streamlined process for investors to save both time and effort in electricity.
Small Businesses and Individuals looking to purchase software to help them buy/ manage electricity as an investment vehicle. Hoping to appeal to non industry investors.
Looking for simple, clean, professional logo. Open to the idea of a tech inspired logo. Prefer an Iconic Logo w/ name. (ISO Data Technologies) We are open to simple professional colors. We dont have a color scheme at the moment and would like to see some professional ideas
In regards to images we prefer a more abstract image versus a photo realistically one. But would like to avoid anything overtly cartoonist.
We have extended the contest for 2 days to see some concepts that have no electrical reference. Stay away from power lines,bolts and batteries. So, instead of the logo making someone think about electricity, I want it to make them think about data, computers, service provider, internet type stuff. Maybe a sentence to describe the logo would be "access to data and data services over the Internet."
Important is that logo needs to be able to work on various media....website and print.
prefer files to be in Vector Format(with all layers) and JPEG

AdWords Match Types: What Are Keyword Match Types & How Should You Use Them?
When bidding on a keyword in your PPC campaigns, you need to choose a keyword match type, which tells Google how aggressively or restrictively you want it to match your advertisements to keyword searches. There are four different keyword match types to choose from when advertising with Google AdWords. In this tutorial, you'll learn the four keyword match types and how they differ, as well as why keyword match types are important to the success of your PPC ad campaigns.
What Are The Google AdWords Match Types?
When creating a text ad in your AdWords PPC campaign, you can select broad match, modified broad match, phrase match, or exact match for your keyword match type. Each match type in your AdWords account has its advantages and disadvantages.
AdWords Broad Match Type
Broad match is the default match type and the one that reaches the widest audience. When using broad match, your ad is eligible to appear whenever a user's search query includes any word in your key phrase, in any order. For example, if you use broad match on "luxury car," your ad might be displayed if a user types "luxury cars," "fast cars," or "luxury apartments." Google may also match your ad to queries using synonyms – for example, your ad might display when someone searches for "expensive vehicles," which doesn't include any of the terms in your keyword.
Because broad matched ads are set up to reach the widest possible audience, searchers might see and click your ad when querying irrelevant topics, and these costs can add up surprisingly fast. Again, since broad match is the default match type, it's important to be very careful. Broad match keywords are a great way to drive lots of clicks, but advertisers need to keep a close eye on their search query reports to ensure that they're not paying for irrelevant traffic that doesn't convert. For example, look at these Google ads triggered by a search on "piano benches":
Two of the ads that displayed are for other kinds of benches, and one is for piano lamps. These don't match the intent of the search query well. You can set up negative keywords to help prevent your ad from showing on searches that aren't related to your business. For more information on negative keywords, get our free Guide to Controlling Costs with Negative Keywords.
AdWords Modified Broad Match
Modified broad match can be viewed as a sort of middle ground between broad match and the more restrictive match types below. It allows you to reach a similarly wide audience, but better control who sees your ad by "locking" individual words in a key phrase using the "+" parameter. When you add the plus sign in front of a term in your keyword, you're telling Google that the search query must include that term.
For instance, let's say you enabled modified broad match in AdWords for the keyword "gel batteries." If you append the "+" parameter to the word "gel," Google can only match your ads to queries that include the word gel. If you append it to the word "batteries," search queries must include that word before you ad can enter the auction.
AdWords Phrase Match Type
Phrase match offers some of the versatility of broad match, but like modified broad match, introduces a higher level of control. Your ad will only appear when a user queries your key phrase using your keywords in the exact order you enter them, but there might be other words either before or after that phrase.
For example, if your key phrase was "pet supplies," your ad could appear when a user searched for "pet supplies," "discount pet supplies," or "pet supplies wholesale," but not for searches like "pet food," "pet bird supplies," or "art supplies." Since the query can contain text before or after your keywords, there is some flexibility, but you are leaving a lot of potential traffic on the table.
AdWords Exact Match Type
Exact match is the most specific and restrictive of the keyword match types. With this match type, users can only see your ad when they type your exact keyword phrase by itself.
For example, if your keyword phrase was "black cocktail dress," your ad is only eligible to show up when a user searches for "black cocktail dress" (those words in that exact order) and not for "cocktail dress," "black dress" or "expensive black cocktail dress." On the plus side, users who click on your ad when searching for that exact phrase are more likely to be interested in your product or service, so using exact match can reduce unwanted costs and keep conversion rates high. On the down side, you will have less traffic as a result of your restrictions, because these more specific search queries have lower search volume, and you won't get as many overall impressions.
How Do Match Types Affect Your AdWords Results?
Match types can have a major impact on your account's performance: they're the control you use to determine exactly which search queries you're bidding on. As you determine which match types to use for each keyword, there are a few key components to consider:
- Performance to Date — How a keyword or similar keywords have performed can give you insights into which match type will provide the best return on your investment.
- Competitors — How your competitors bid on certain terms and structure their own accounts, as well as how their accounts have performed historically will all impact the return you see from certain match types.
- Bids — Cost per click and cost per conversion are heavily impacted by bids – often advertisers employ various methodologies for manipulating bids and frequently bid more or less aggressively based on the match type – this can strongly influence which match type is most appropriate.
- Ad Text & AdWords Account Structure — Many advertisers will break out a "money" keyword and run it on broad, phrase and exact match types – perhaps even segmenting those match types out and writing specific ads for each. The way an advertiser structures an account can also have a massive impact on performance for different match types.
Optimizing your use of AdWords match types is crucial because it allows you to reach your target audience while avoiding unnecessary spend on irrelevant clicks. Learn more about optimizing your match types in our AdWords Matching Options Guide.

The Walrus Says
More on Smith Florist from Kay Smith Murphy: "My grandfather, Samuel Smith, lived on Narragansett Avenue where the outdoor patio of Trattoria Simpatico is now. I was the last one to sell flowers on the front steps from 9 to 1 summers when I was in grade school. Eventually, about 1940, the flower shop moved across the street. It was called Ye Old School House and dad had a belfry built. My mother, Grace Smith, added a gift shop and cards. I went away to school and mom eventually went back to teaching. The shop was successful. My grandfather Sam was a charter member of FTD. He originally had a shop and gardens on Bellevue Avenue in Newport. There's a whole lot more but enough for now.
"Does anyone remember the cobbler from Newport who had a shop, I believe, next to Central Garage? And, does anyone recall that Elizabeth Westall sold penny candy. The display case was on the left when you walked in. Also, I have always wondered if the booths at Chopmist Charlies are the original ones from Westalls?"
Thanks, Kay!
Speaking of Westall's, Kathy Westall says that the original ice cream recipes are alive and well within the family.
Gaylin Cordes, Barbara-Ann MacIntosh, Sandra Harnedy and Thomas Gillis say that Dinah Shore sang "See the USA in your Chevrolet." Elizabeth Mancini added that after singing the song Dinah would bend back and blow big kiss to the audience. Ann Zartler explained that the Dinah Shore show was a variety show and was on Sunday evening. "A tiny memory is popping up that says it was carried on NBC. But, not in competition with Ed Sullivan who was CBS. This is all probably google-able but I'm depending on my memory. The night that the new Chevrolet models were unveiled was very exciting. I think Dinah went around whipping covers off five new cars. Those were the days when each make of car was identifi able."
Thanks, guys!

Mary Ann Joyce called to urge islanders with E-ZPass to keep track of their accounts. Curious about the status of her account she went to the RITBA E-ZPass website to check on it. "I was surprised to find that I had been charged, through my transponder, $3 instead of 83 cents to cross the bridge one way." She said it was difficult getting through by phone to the bridge office, but once she did a correction was made to her account. "I thought I had more money in the account than I had. From now on I will be checking it and I urge everyone else to also do so especially since most of us have automatic debit to replenish our accounts. When we had tokens it was very easy to know when to buy more... you didn't have any left. With EZPass who knows?"
Barbara-Ann MacIntosh and Elizabeth Mancini identified the poser as "All of Me." Elizabeth said, "I remember as a little girl hearing my mother sing a song with similar lyrics while she completed her household chores. Her lyrics were:
Take my lips, I want to lose them
Take my arms, I'll never use them.

I eat here regularly and have never had a problem. Their fryer is only used for fries so they are safe and their gluten free bun comes wrapped separately.
3063 Mallory Ln, Franklin, TN 37067
We asked just to verify the grilled nuggets were GF and no staff including two different managers could answer our question. I eventually went with the website but when you offer a GF bun but no one can offer any recommendations as to what to have on it it's pretty poor.

Tampa Airport Restaurant has no GF bread. Had premade salad which was okay.

Ordered a gf lunch for my celiac daughter. The manager had never heard of Celiac's before. She would not ask the staff to change the gloves because she said it wasn't necessary. She assured me the meal would be gf. Once at the school I tested the meal with our Nima and sure enough the FRIES came back GLUTEN FOUND. :(

Been eating here for years. The app has all their gluten free options but if you talk to most of the employees they can tell you the general things that are gluten free. I have a very sensitive case of celiac disease and have never gotten sick here. I can't say that for any other restaurant.

GF buns at all locations, nation wide, friendly, great chicken. $1.15 xtra for bun

5488 S Padre Island Dr Ste 1352, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
My daughter is non celiac gluten intolerant and we ordered her grilled nuggets and fries. She got sick from it and I called and asked about their GF items and they stated that yes they're gluten free but are made in a restaurant that serves gluten so they might not be safe.

16535 S.W. Freeway, Sugar Land, TX 77479
It is celiac friendly I ordered the grilled chicken nuggets and fries with chick-fil-a sauce and did not feel bad or get sick. And they now cook the fries in desperate dryers instead of in the same fryer which is why people got sick. So it is celiac safe.
457 River Hwy, Mooresville, NC 28117
Ordered grilled chicken sandwich. Then told out of gluten free buns and did I want something else. Manager said I could do nuggets without seasoning. Was charged for a meal which I didn't realize until the tray came out. Tray came out with the grilled chicken minus the bun and fries. Double checked with manager and fries are not gluten free. Lots of miscommunication. Gave this 2 stars because the manager was apologetic and gave me a refund and the nuggets on the house.

My celiac husband eats here all the time and hasn't had a problem! They have GF buns, and he gets the grilled chicken sandwich or grilled nuggets with fries. Ice Dream is also GF.

I have eaten at CFAs a half dozen times. However, I had a bad reaction after my recent visit to the legends location. I had a grilled chicken salad. I notified the staff of my allergy. Half way though my salad, I found two pieces of fried chicken in my bowl. I was sick all afternoon. The staff of kids were not knowledgeable of food allergies and unapologetic when I brought it to their attention. Spoke to one of my sons friends that work there. He said they make the salads ahead of time and pull and replace the fried chicken for baked when it is ordered. Dangerous practice for me. I will not return to this location.

We went through the drive through to try to get breakfast for my celiac daughter on our recent road trip. I asked if the hash browns were gluten free. I was told NO, nothing was gluten free except the gluten free bun. I was told that everything is put in the same oil. We were in the drive through and then had to stay in the line while we waited our turn. I'm not sure if it was an overly cautious employee or the store doesn't have a dedicated fryer. Ended up getting GF brownie from Dunkin down the road instead. Which, though not ideal to eat for breakfast... we were almost home and it had to be quick.

255 Duncan Dr, Auburn, AL 36849
I have eaten at this Chick-fil-A location many times and never gotten sick. They have a separate fryer for their fries and chicken products. The fries are made in canola oil and all of their chicken is fried in peanut oil. I always get their grilled nuggets and fries. Chick-fil-A sauce is gluten free too!!! Be sure to tell them you have a gluten allergy (I actually have Celiac, but sometimes saying that confuses them, but they understand when you say "I can't have gluten"), and they will "red flag" your order, meaning that everyone on the line will change their gloves, etc. before handling your food.
1540 E Woodlawn Rd, Charlotte, NC 28209
Day take care to be gluten-free, but quality is just awful. Gluten-free bun tastes like sawdust
1300 Macarthur Dr, Alexandria, LA 71301

No kidding about a pitch from the past: Wainwright, Beltran try to win World Series together
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
BOSTON – Adam Wainwright helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the 2006 World Series, perhaps making their most important pitch of the season.
In Game 7 of the NL championship series, he got Carlos Beltran to look at a curveball for strike three with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, closing the Cardinals' 3-1 win over the New York Mets.
Now, Beltran is in the World Series for the first time. And Wainwright, his teammate, is set to start Game 1 for the Cardinals on Wednesday night against Boston.
That pitch from the past? It's history.
"We don't joke about it. I don't even bring that up," Wainwright said Tuesday.
"But one thing that was really cool after we won the other day in St. Louis, Carlos' wife came up to me and said, 'Can I take a picture of you and Carlos?' And I said, yes," he said. "And she said, 'Back then it wasn't in the Lord's plan and now it is.' I'm getting chill bumps sharing that with you."
ROSTERS SET: The Cardinals made one switch in their postseason roster for the World Series, adding Allen Craig and dropping outfielder Adron Chambers. The Red Sox will stay with the same 25 they used in the AL championship series.
Craig hasn't played since Sept. 4 because of a sprained left foot, but has been working his way back. The first baseman was the Cardinals' cleanup man for most of the season and hit a major league-leading .454 with runners in scoring position before getting hurt.
Craig is set to be the Cardinals' designated hitter in Game 1 Wednesday night against Jon Lester and in Game 2 against John Lackey.
"Allen ended up passing his last test today," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He went out and ran the bases and has hit live. We're anxious to have him back."
"Right now we feel comfortable with Allen as a DH. Once we get back to St. Louis we'll reevaluate, but we anticipate him being able to pinch-hit. But if he continues to progress and things look differently, we could make that change. But right now we're pretty happy with Matt Adams at first base," he said.
THEN AND NOW: Jon Lester starts Game 1, six years after his win finished off Boston's sweep of the Colorado Rockies. That signature win at Coors Field came less than a year after doctors pronounced him cancer-free from anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
The Red Sox lefty reflected Tuesday on the difference between that 2007 outing and his upcoming start.
"I think completely, you know, at different ends for me. Like you said, different circumstances at the time," he said. "I mean, I just remember nerves. I remember just the anxiety of trying to just get to the field and calm down a little bit. Different point in my career, I think, too."
"Obviously, tomorrow there will still be nerves, there will still be all that to be expected. But I think I know who I am a little bit more as a pitcher and what to expect from myself and what to expect from the crowd and all the different things that go along with getting a start in the World Series," he said.
Lester also realizes his medical comeback might serve as an inspiration.
"If that story gets out tomorrow and that helps somebody in a hospital room or helps somebody that's struggling with their treatment or whatever it is, great. That's kind of what we try to do in our foundation, as well, and spread the word of cancer awareness," he said.
"It's a big honor to take that stage with that next to my name. And like I said, hopefully I can help somebody that's struggling with it a little bit," he said.
HE DID WHAT?: As the Cardinals took batting practice, Fox TV announcer Tim McCarver stood near the stands and recalled catching for St. Louis in the 1967 World Series at Fenway Park. Something he saw Carl Yastrzemski do after Game 1 still sticks with him.
Following the Cardinals' 2-1 win, about a dozen players and their wives gathered near the dugout, ready for the late afternoon bus trip back to the hotel.
"Yaz had gone 0 for 4 against Bob Gibson. As we're waiting there, here comes the grounds crew, rolling the batting cage back into place. And then here comes Yaz, the Triple Crown winner, back onto the field for extra batting," McCarver said.
"We were dumbfounded. We stood there watching him. I mean, he'd just played game No. 163. We'd never seen that," he said. "You never saw that then, you'd never see that now."
McCarver also remembered how Yaz did in Game 2 the next day: Two home runs and a single, with four RBIs in Boston's 5-0 win.

New hike and bike trail in Beaumont takes step forward
Plans to construct a hike and bike trail alongside Folsom Drive and between Major Drive and Dowlen Road have taken steps forward. At an April 16 Beaumont City Council meeting, Council approved a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a parking and access easement for the purposes of accessing and constructing a hike and bike trail and parking area.
The trail will be approximately two miles long and 10 feet wide, said Patrick Donart, city engineer for the city of Beaumont. According to Donart, the plan has been in the works for quite some time, but was helped along with a transportation grant from the Department of Transportation, received last year.
Donart said the original plan was to construct a trail between Delaware Street and Folsom Drive but that was rejected.
"Between developers, land owners, the district and the city, we all decided it would be best if we relocated the trail," he said.
After receiving the grant, the city then had to procure an easement, or right of way, for the hike and bike trail.
"We're running primarily on Drainage District No. 6 property and in order for our walking trail to be on their property, we need to have an easement," Donart said.
Donart said that the city will meet with the Texas Department of Transportation April 18 to look at the construction plans and discuss when the city would begin bidding the project, which is the next step in the process.
"We anticipate bidding the project in August of this year," he said. "The lowest qualified bidder is who we would recommend City Council to award the project to."
Once council awards the project, Donart said a contractor would then enter into an agreement with the city, a preconstruction meeting would be held and then the contractor would begin construction.
"The contract time is 120 working days," he said.
Donart said the city decided to construct another hike and bike trail due to the heavy traffic of the Gulf Terrace Hike and Bike Trail, located between Phelan Boulevard and Dishman Road and adjacent to the Cris Quinn Soccer Complex.
There are a couple of advantages to having a trail in this location, according to Donart.
"You get to utilize the basin a little bit better," he said. "A lot of trails or walking areas throughout town are all adjacent to city streets and this allows you to go up into the retention basin. It's not a straight shot. It's winding with a bunch of curves. It will just be a different feel."
Donart said the trail would not only be used for exercise but also for pedestrian traffic.
"The majority would be used for exercise, but the way the grant is written, it's a mode of transportation to allow people to get from one major road, Major Drive, to another major road, which is Dowlen Road," he said.
The fact that there are not sidewalks on the section of Folsom, where the trail will be built, did influence the decision to construct it in that particular area, Donart said.
There will be a City Council agenda item sometime in September to recommend a contractor for the project, he said.

Currington pleads no contest in US threats case
SAVANNAH, Georgia (AP) — Country singer Billy Currington has pleaded no contest months after he was charged with threatening a 70-year-old tour boat captain who cruised past the dock of his waterfront home in coastal Georgia.
Currington pleaded no contest Friday to a charge of abuse of an elderly person and was sentenced to five years of probation and a $1,000 fine. He was ordered to undergo anger-management counseling and have no contact with the boat caption.
In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of making terroristic threats.
Tour boat captain Charles Harvey Ferrelle and two passengers told police an irate Currington on April 15 chased them in his own boat and threatened them.
Currington's latest album, "We Are Tonight," was released last week.

Ossipee man charged with assaulting nine-month-old babyBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
April 08. 2013 5:19PM
OSSIPEE - A 19-year-old Ossipee man was charged with assaulting his girlfriend's nine-month-old daughter during a domestic dispute Friday.
Kurt Whiting of Heron Place was charged with felony second-degree assault after police say he assaulted the baby by squeezing her head during an argument with her mother. Whiting was charged with simple assault and criminal threatening after police say he also kicked the baby's mother several times.
Ossipee Police Detective Sgt. Robert King said police first learned of the incident Friday when they were called to Heron Place at 10:40 p.m. for a report of a domestic disturbance. King said the victim said that during the course of a dispute, Whiting opened the car door beside where the baby was seated in the back and squeezed her head.
The mother brought the child to the Huggins Hospital emergency room where she was checked out and then released.
Whiting was arraigned in 3rd Circuit Court, Ossipee District Division, Monday morning and held at Carroll County House of Corrections on $2,500 cash and $2,500 corporate surety bail. A probable cause hearing is set for April 17.

Boy, what happened to this year? Seems like only yesterday that people were talking about 2012, and before the year ended, there were going to be some major changes made.
Boy, what happened to this year? Seems like only yesterday that people were talking about 2012, and before the year ended, there were going to be some major changes made.
Well, in another couple of days 2012 will be gone, and things are still the same, if not worse. Now I've already seen some new year's resolutions that reflect promise for a better year in '13. But I don't expect it.
I heard a woman speaking the other day on finance, telling newly married couples how to manage their money. One thing she told them was when their first baby arrived, put a dollar in a jar and continue to do that every day.
"By the time the child is ready to attend college, you will have saved enough money to pay for it," she said. The young couples smiled and nodded their heads, thinking they had learned some big secret in high finance.
Wrong. That so-called expert on money matters was all wrong.
Do the math. If you saved one dollar daily for 365 days for 20 years, that would only be $7,300. That's not even enough money to pay for half a term at today's enrollment costs. No telling how much college will cost in two decades.
My financial adviser never finished high school, but he was smart when it came to money. I always have felt if people today would follow his advice, which he learned from experience during the Great Depression, our country would not be on the verge of a fiscal cliff, and a lot of families would not be bankrupting and losing their homes.
Dad's advice was to never purchase anything you couldn't afford. He said just learn to live without it until you could save enough money to pay cash on the barrelhead. He didn't believe in taking handouts or charity from the government, but earning what you had.
There has been a lot on the news lately about people being overweight, and a lot of new year's resolutions surely will include losing weight during the coming year. During the Christmas season, I saw a lot of cartoons about Santa Claus weighing far too much; one was about the reindeer threatening not to pull his sleigh unless he came in under a certain weight limit. There were others about his exercise program and about children leaving only diet cookies and skim milk for his snack.
Some of the articles I've seen say Americans, especially those in the South, are obese, which is a word I have never understood. I don't say that, and I've never heard my doctor use it either, not even when he dresses me down pretty good about weighing too much. "You need to get rid of that paunch, you're way too fat," he told me the last time I saw him. I had no trouble understanding what he meant. And if I decide to make a list of resolutions, that will be at the top. Losing 45 pounds in 52 weeks should be a piece of cake, the doctor said. Yeah, right, provided I don't eat the cake.
Another resolution I'd like to add would be to stop buying gasoline until the prices drop to a reasonable rate. That would mean stop going anywhere, which would suit me just fine. The first trip I would cut out would be to see the doctor, which would mean no more lectures on losing weight, which would mean I could keep right on eating cake, apple cobbler a la mode and doughnuts.
Yum-yum. Please pass me some more cornbread, fried taters and butter beans. Pour me another glass of buttermilk, too.
I think I'll just unplug my treadmill and wait until next year to work on new year's resolutions.

A team of 20 wildland firefighters from Delaware is battling the Patch Spring Fire – a blaze situated about two miles northwest of Terra, Utah which has burned 10,671 acres since it was ignited by a lightning strike on Aug. 10.
The fire is one of 34 new fires in the Eastern Great Basin Area, which has raised its Fire Preparedness Level to the maximum level of 5 on a 5-point scale. One fire in the region – the Pony Complex – has already torched over 143,000 acres.
Local firefighters Tyler Torres, of Smyrna; Jeffrey Wilson, of Clayton; Kyle Kokoszka, of Middletown; Brian Keszler, of Middletown; and Todd Gsell, of Townsend, are part of the 20-person crew.
Terra, Utah is located about 65 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.
The Delaware Forest Service-trained crew is part of over 150 personnel working to protect residences and other structures on the Patch Springs blaze, which is currently 15 percent contained. The crew had been scheduled to travel to another fire before they were diverted to their current assignment. Officials estimate the blaze could be contained by Monday, Aug. 19.
The 20-person team from Delaware departed Sunday from Blackbird State Forest in Smyrna. This is the second crew the Delaware Forest Service has dispatched this summer; the first team was sent to battle an 85,000-acre blaze near North Pole, Alaska in July.
A Preparedness Level 5 is triggered under the following conditions:
three or more geographic areas are experiencing incidents requiring Type 1 and 2 IMTscompetition exists between geographic areasnationally, 60 percent of Type 1 and 2 IMTs and crews are committed

The Telegraph has a nice article about American helicopter crews that are decimating the Taliban in southern Afghanistan:
Lt Denton and Capt Staley were in one of the two-man aircraft, escorting two Black Hawk helicopters, when they spotted eight motorcycles, with a rider and passenger on each. It seemed unusual and the Apache broke away to take a closer look.
Dropping to 200ft, it swooped close to the motorcyclists – and the two men could not believe their luck: some of the passengers were holding the parts of a long-barrelled heavy machine-gun.
Six of the bikes slewed to a stop, their passengers leaping off and aiming their weapons at the helicopter in what appeared to be a well-practised drill, while the others took off across country. The Apache banked away to begin its attack run.
"Some of them were trying to get the heavy machine-gun up a small hill to engage us," Lt Denton said. "Capt Staley used the 30mm gun to take out the two guys who had taken off, and then we fixed on the ones with the heavy machine-gun. They were huddled around a large boulder and we shot them. We put as many rounds around it as we could, because if they got to it they could cause us trouble. But they never had a chance to set it up."
*** After the shooting stopped, 12 Taliban were confirmed dead.
American commanders believe that the uncompromising use of airpower in recent weeks has been a key factor in preventing the Taliban from launching their expected full-scale spring offensive against coalition forces and forcing them to rethink their tactics.

Loved them so much, in fact, that when it became apparent that we should start potty training my younger son, I was actually sad that I would be saying goodbye to my colorful diaper collection. (Really, folks, we had a whole rainbow going on.)
Anyway, I was delighted to discover that several cloth diaper companies have also ventured into training pants. One of the latest to do so is GroVia, which recently debuted its My Choice Trainer. We gave a pair some test runs on my 2-year-old, Henry, who needed an interim step between diapers and underwear.

Available in cloud (dark gray) or vanilla, the training pants come with interchangeable, stretchy side panels (available in six bright colors) that help the trainers fit sizes 1T-3T or 3T-5T. I really appreciated being able to unsnap the trainers at the side instead of having to pull them down his legs when the inevitable accidents occurred. The outer layer is waterproof and the inner layer allows kids to feel when they're wet—obviously important during potty training. There's also a pocket on the inside that can be stuffed for additional absorbency for naps or nighttime use.

GroVia My Choice Trainers are available at Jillian's Drawers (home of a seriously awesome $10 cloth diaper trial program) and other online retailers for $18.99. Additional side panels available for $3.95/pair.
