Siemens Gigaset C475 IP DECT Cordless Phone
February 19th, 2010 | cordless phone, internet phone, Siemens Gigaset, VOIPPosted in Technology

I bought this phone to use with my new Internet phone line and it works brilliantly. The Internet phone line comprises a small Linksys VOIP box that costs £50 once off and then £2 per month per line (up to 2 lines per box). This box plugs into your broadband router or straight into your broadband connection and works just like a normal phone line but at a fraction of the cost. The great thing about it is that you can take this box anywhere in the world with you and take your UK number with you as well! You can call your friends in the UK from anywhere in the world, and they can call you as if you were in the UK – all with zero additional charges! If you qualify for free UK landline calls or free calls to 10 global destinations, this applies wherever you take your Linksys VOIP box with you in the world.
This phone can be used as a VOIP phone but I use it just as an Internet phone (fixed line setting) because all my local UK landline calls are free but VOIP would cost me an additional sum. If you would like to know more then please email me by following this link to Internet Phone. |
Please read the manufacturer’s description below from Amazon’s website.
Manufacturer’s Description
Often phones are either designed to work on a standard telephone line or made to work specifically over IP. Often if a user wants the ability to do both they would need two separate phones.
However the Siemens Gigaset C475 IP phone has the ability to do just that. It can be configured to work on a normal line such as that in the home or configured to make VOIP calls through a SIP account.
N.B. This phone is not desinged to plug into a PC and make calls via Skype.
To make VOIP calls with the Siemens Gigaset C475 IP cordless phone it does not need to be connected to a computer. To set up simply connect the phone to broadband and then configure the Gigaset C475 IP with your online SIP accounts.
These SIP accounts will be with different online companies who will then allow the calls to be made over the internet. In total the Siemens Gigaset C475 IP can store up to 6 SIP accounts so plenty of room for choice.
Also built into the Siemens Gigaset C475 IP phone is a digital answering machine with a 30 minute capacity. This is ideal for taking messages for calls and 30 minutes recording is a lot of time as most messages are only a few seconds long.
The LCD screen on the Siemens C475 IP is also backlit and in colour making it very easy to see and navigate menus. There is a phone book to store up to 150 entries of contacts and even the facility to send and SMS text messages.
Sound quality on the Gigaset C475 is excellent and this quality is also delivered through the handsfree speaker on the handset too.
The Siemens Gigaset C475 IP even has an Eco Mode which reduces the power the phones transmit varying on distance from the base. This not only helps reduce power usage but also gives a longer lasting standby and talk time.
The box Contains:
- One Gigaset C475IP base station
- One mains adapter for the base station
- One Gigaset C47H handset
- One charging cradle
- One mains adapter for the charging cradle
- One phone cord
- One Ethernet LAN cable
- Two batteries
- One battery cover
- One belt clip
- One user guide
The World According to Monsanto
January 23rd, 2010 | FDA, GM crops, GM food, GMO, health, Monsanto, PCB, Roundup, seedPosted in General
If you thought terrorists are our biggest threat, this appears to be much worse!
This documentary looks like the PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) case in the US on which the film Erin Brockovich was based, but this threat is GLOBAL! Have you heard of Roundup weed killer? Please read on…
Based on a painstaking investigation, this documentary pieces together the story of Monsanto, a century-old corporation with a controversial past and today’s leader in genetically modified crops. Monsanto claims it wants to solve world hunger and protect the environment, but its quest for market supremacy is to the detriment of global food security and environmental stability.

You can watch the full documentary here: The World According to Monsanto. Thank you to Connie and my team for finding this.
Look at this from Greenpeace’s website:
The big picture is chilling to anyone who mistrusts Monsanto’s record disinterest for environmental safety.
And if you’re not worried, you should be: central control of food supply has been a standard ingredient for social and political control throughout history. By creating a monopoly position, Monsanto can force dangerous experiments like the release of GMOs into the environment on an unwilling public. They can ensure that GMOs will be sold and consumed wherever they say they will.
By claiming global monopoly patent rights throughout the entire food chain, Monsanto seeks to make farmers and food producers, and ultimately consumers, entirely dependent and reliant on one single corporate entity for a basic human need. It’s the same dependence that Russian peasants had on the Soviet Government following the Russian revolution. The same dependence that French peasants had on Feudal kings during the middle ages. But control of a significant proportion of the global food supply by a single corporation would be unprecedented in human history.
It’s time to ensure that doesn’t happen.
It’s time for a global ban of patents on seeds and farm animals.
It’s time to tell Monsanto we’ve had enough of this hogwash.— Brian Thomas Fitzgerald, Monsanto Pig Patent
From watching the documentary, if you are at all concerned about anyone you love’s health and what this company appears to be doing, then please forward this post’s link on to them or search Google for “world according to Monsanto” or “Monsanto GMO” for more information.
Let’s hope Monsanto is not as evil as it appears to be in this documentary, because if it is, we as a species are in deep ….

ESET Smart Security

I used to use what many other people use and that is that horrible Norton Antivirus that takes control of your PC and strangles it! One day a good friend of mine in the beautiful US state of Washington, in the Pacific northwest, suggested I try this software because this is what hackers use, and hackers know what they are doing when it comes to security, wouldn’t you say?
After having to download a special uninstall tool from Norton’s website I finally got rid of it forever and have never let it near any of my PCs again. When I installed ESET Smart Security 4 it was as if my PCs had a new lease of life breathed into them! They woke up! ESET feels “so light” and with seemless real time updating you know you are always safe from those pesky viruses out there. It is a fantastic bit of software and I highly recommend it. I have 3 copies! |
This is an extract from ESET’s website:
ESET Smart Security
ESET Smart Security is a tightly integrated security solution that users can trust to keep their computers safe. Built on the award-winning ESET NOD32 Antivirus and its powerful ThreatSense engine, ESET Smart Security also provides antispyware, antispam and customized firewall features. Utilizing ThreatSense – the industry’s most advanced heuristics – the window of vulnerability between virus outbreak and signature update is reduced.
ESET Smart Security detects and disables viruses, trojans, worms, adware, spyware, phishing, rootkits and other Internet threats you may encounter online. It provides comprehensive, proactive protection with minimal impact on computer performance.

GORDON BROWN IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WORK.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL FACTORIES.
HE RESTORETH MY FAITH IN THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
HE GUIDETH ME IN THE PATH OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
YEA, THOUGH I WAIT FOR MY DOLE,
I OWN THE BANK THAT REFUSES ME.
BROWN HAS ANNOINTED MY INCOME WITH TAXES,
MY EXPENSES RUNNETH OVER MY INCOME,
SURELY, POVERTY AND HARD LIVING WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF HIS TERM.
FROM HENCE FORTH WE WILL LIVE ALL THE DAYS
OF OUR LIVES IN A RENTED HOME WITH AN OVERSEAS LANDLORD.
I AM GLAD I AM BRITISH,
I AM GLAD I AM FREE.
BUT I WISH I WERE A DOG
AND BROWN WAS A TREE.

A Greek Christmas Poem
December 28th, 2009 | Christmas, funny, Greek, HumourPosted in Humour
You need to be Greek, or have at least some Greek knowledge, to appreciate this fully. I received this by email from Julie, my Godfather’s wife, in Kalamata, Greece. If you know where it originated from then please let me know.
T’was the night before Hristouyenna and all through the spiti
I could smell fasolatha & pasticho through my miti.
Pandofles were hung on the fireplace quite low,
Hoping Ayios Vasilis would bring some poto.
Patera in his krevati was snoring pretty hard,
Tired from stealing the tree from
our malaka neighbours’ yard.
Mama was in the basement cooking like a nikokira,
adding just enough lemon to her fresh made horta.
When the thorivo came from outside the porta,
Baba yelled from his room “ela mesa re malaka”.
The knocking on the door, such a rude, loud barage ,
I yelled through the window
“It’s a Greek house re malaka, come in through the garage!”
Then, standing in the garage right next to my car,
was my drunk thio Mitso coming home from the bar.
“Ainde kimisou methismene” I told him with might,
“you’ll ruin my chances of seeing Ayio Vasilis tonight”.
About two hours later I heard a noise down the stair,
I jumped from my krevati to see who was there.
Standing by the tree eating leftover fakkes,
Was Ayios Vasilis reeking of tsiporo no less.
He was all dressed in red and as big as an ox,
Wearing brown “pandofles” along with black socks.
Smelling like a katsiki with a touch of “Old Spice”,
He’d been drinking for days and smelled not very nice.
He was putting the presents out under the tree,
They were wrapped like skata, it was quite plain to see.
Vrakyia & 6 kaltses from Myer for me,
and 12 for my brother cuz he’s only 3.
This Santa was paraxenos, nothing like the fable,
Before leaving he stole my tsigara from the table.
I yelled “Eh, Ay’ Vasili, ti kaneis ekie?”
and he turned and he threw his “pandofla” at me.
The look in his eyes was nothing but fright,
He said “fiye apo tho, re malaka” and dashed out of sight.
And he called to his reindeer, and called them by name
I knew they were not the same animals from “Jingle Bell” fame..
“Ela Mitso, Sotiri, ke Nektario,
Yianni kai Taki, Thanasi kai Yiorgo…”
“Ainde grigora na pao ya katourima”,
and he yelled as he went “KALA XRISTOUYENNA”.
Living In A Fascist Country…
December 27th, 2009 | Politics, Vernon ColemanPosted in Books, Moneywise, Politics

Here is another great eye opening book that I read by Vernon Coleman. This is what he has to say on the back cover:
“We are losing our freedom and our privacy. Everything we hold dear is being threatened by the New Order. The world is changing so fast that it is difficult to keep up. Britain and America are now fascist states. Why? What is going on? Whatever happened to democracy? Who is behind it all? How did we come to find ourselves in what the politicians boast will be an everlasting war? You will, I hope, find at least some of the answers in this book. The way the Government is clamping down on free speech this may well be your last chance to read the truth.” |
