Published: May 9, 2014 at 10:45 AMGrowing up in Tampa and visiting Disney parks in the early '90's often, I loved the parks. LOVED them. We were real pros, bringing our own lunch in and beating the crowds. I always loved how much Disney cared about the holistic experience of their parks, not just the attractions but the bus systems, cleanliness, upkeep, everything. I also always loved the effort put into theming of attractions, not just the rides but the lines and overall look. Growing up right next to Busch Gardens which offered little to no theming, Disney always seemed so much more invested in their parks.
I also remember going to IOA soon after it opened in the early 2000's. This was the first time that my allegiance to Disney was ever shaken. As a young teenager, it was too hard to pass up the opportunity to ride real thrills like the Hulk and Spiderman, as compared to the more tame attractions offered by Disney World. Universal Studios was always a half-day trip, the sort of thing you could do once and feel like you covered it.
It wasn't until Universal started investing in major improvements that I felt it was a true competitor to Disney. All of a sudden lights were being fixed, fog effects that had been down for years worked, buildings were painted, and general upkeep was stellar, Disney-level work. There were parts of attractions that I never had an idea about in IOA because I had never seen them work!
The introduction of Harry Potter really was the tipping point for me. Such a major investment in not just a single attraction but an entire world just for one story. The way I see it, right now in the theme park business there is no achievement greater than Harry Potter in what it accomplishes with immersion, attention to detail, and the ability to go back again and again and love it every time. I still like Disney, but I don't LOVE it unconditionally like I once did.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 11:51 AMI completely understand the Disney "lifestyle", for lack of a better word. It is usually passed down from one generation to the next. Our daughters grew up watching the new classics and Pixar movies. They had plush toys and Disney borders in their rooms, pink Mickey ears and just about anything they could slap a sticker on and brand as "Disney".
We started our Disney trips in 2000. Whether you are staying on property or anywhere within a few miles of the parks, the hotels are packed with families who all seem to get up at the same time, pack the breakfast buffets, and all head out to the parks about an hour before opening, en masse.
I always had this feeling we were just part of a huge machine with a cult like status when visiting Orlando. The hotels we stayed in were practically a ghost towns for the good part of the day. Monorails and Disney wrapped buses on a seemingly endless circle bringing guests to and from the parks.
You could easily pick out the families that have the means to stay at the Grand Floridian or one of the other top end hotels. They just looked "different". Almost as if they were dressed for Easter Sunday.
When you actually entered the parks is where the "Hunger Games" began. Seasoned veterans who instinctively knew when a FastPass machine was about to spit out a new round of tickets, moms who know every inch of the park and had the day planned down to the minute.
We always felt like "newbies" because we never had the time to do all that homework and spent a good portion of the day waiting in lines. All this being said, I think I know the Disney culture pretty well. I am simply glad we moved on to a place where we make our own rules and waiting for rides is almost non-existent.
You still have this feeling of being part of a cult at USF, but on a much smaller scale. You know everybody heading out to IOA at 6-6:30 in the morning is staying on the property. Same goes for the Express lines.
I noticed we can strike up conversations with other families around the hotel / pool / pool bars, which are always in use at any time of day. You just know you can pick up at any time, walk a couple minutes and be on almost any ride in no time at all. At Disney, it seemed like the energy spent trying to get your money's worth took it's toll on people. The mass crowd zombie walk after Extra Magic Hours was almost silent. Everyone seem drained.
In conclusion, Disney has it's own unique lifestyle, just like USF. They are just on drastically different sides of the spectrum. We simply prefer the latter. Time management goes out the window and relaxation takes over.
I would love to hear opinions, experiences and thoughts of the people who make Disney their exclusive stay, especially when you visit during the Summer.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 12:27 PMTo the person who said customer service at Disney had gone downhill...LOL My friend just was doing the internship. She got in quick service food at one of the hotels. Her and 5 other girls got to live in a Disney apartment. They got paid $8.00 per hour and got $100.00 per week payroll deducted for their "DISNEY" housing. She said some of the delusional kids are so brainwashed they love Disney no matter what. (even if they could not afford food to eat)Then there were the other one's that quickly felt like they were being taken advantage of. The exteremly low pay and no benefits was a rude awaking after the pixie dust wore off. For a company that makes BILLIONS of dollars there is no reason why they cannot have a starting pay of $10.00 per hour. A huge portion of their employees (along with Walmart and other big companies) are on Medicaid, SSI, and Food stamps, all of which the tax payers are footing the bill....So how is that for a Disney lifestyle? You get what you pay for and $7.50 to $8.00 an hour is not going to get you much for being fake happy to everyone. Oh, and "have a magical day!"
Published: May 9, 2014 at 12:28 PMI predict a predictable tsunami of aggrieved USF fans explaining why they have the right of it and USF is better than Disney in every possible respect. And yet here Disney is comfortably ahead in the poll....
I can only speak for myself and my wife. We enjoy visiting USF and always make sure it is in our itinerary on our visits to Florida. We love the cutting-edge attractions and the adrenaline-rush we get off many of them. We love the different take on a theme park that USF provides. We always enjoy our visits. But the truth is that we have never spent more than 2/3 of a day at either Universal park, having experienced every attraction, and the thought of spending more than a couple of days there fills me with an enormous sense of 'why'? Harry Potter was clever but left me cold, never having been a fan of the books. I look forward to Diagon Alley and expect to be deeply impressed, but the only reason we would consider staying at a Universal property would be to gain Express access and ensure we can get onto everything without waiting, (we are too old to spend hours in line any more).
We stay at Disney, and we will do so again next time, because we like the 'lifestyle'. We find Disney less 'in your face' than Universal and feel more relaxed on Disney property. Port Orleans two years ago was one of the most beautiful environments we have ever stayed in and we spent a surprising amount of time simply 'being' - walking around Disneyworld and enjoying the places we were in, much as we would if we had gone on a 'real' vacation to, say, Italy. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. We are all different and Universal appeals to some people. But just because it's your cup of tea don't dismiss those of us who haven't bought into its ethos. Disney gets a lot of criticism on here for not investing in uber-cool attractions but Disney knows its market and I suspect I am firmly within that demographic. It suits me and I won't even consider staying anywhere else....
Published: May 9, 2014 at 12:54 PMDisney changed many times. When I lived in Orlando and Michael Eisner started it's reign it was a wonderful and exciting times. Money was spend on the parks, rides and even Animal Kingdom got build.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 12:59 PMI pretty much feel the same way as N B.
Don't get me wrong -- a part of me will always love Disney. There really IS something magical about the place and it's got some awesome rides. But I never feel completely relaxed there. Part of it is the feeling of being part of a herd, on an endless quest to have fun even if it kills you. And the other part is that the whole "Disney Brand" thing sort of creeps me out -- if I'm on the property more than a day or two I start to get seriously twitchy.
I just find the experience at Universal to be more relaxed. Yes, a lot of it has to do with being able to afford the onsite hotels and the express pass perk (thank you Florida resident discounts!!!) But there really is something to be said for being able to WALK back to your hotel in 5 minutes if you're tired or just need a short break. And say what you will about Disney customer service being superior -- maybe it is -- but I've always found the folks at Universal to be quite pleasant and to have a great sense of humor.
I love the effort Universal is putting into improving their parks. But I do worry a bit, 'cause I think part of the problems I have with Disney generate from its size. It's just sooo huge. And watching Universal build Cabana Bay, and hearing that there's a 5th hotel in the works, I fear that some day the laid back Universal experience I've come to love will start to resemble the harried Disney experience that I don't enjoy. Time will tell….
I think a lot of it is just personal preference. I WISH I could relax at Disney, but I just can't. I read David Brown's comment and I completely understand his point of view. His experience at Port Orleans sounds exactly the way I feel when I'm at Royal Pacific. I guess it's a good thing that both resorts exist so that we can all have a place where we feel completely happy ;-).
Published: May 9, 2014 at 1:01 PMI'm on TPI like everyday so yeah I'm a fan.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 1:31 PM(Not so) Amazing that a thread asking "How much of a role does Disney play in your life?" could turn into another Disney/Universal debate. Seems like these days people are just itching to have at it.
To answer your question Robert: I consider myself a Disney fan, just as much as I enjoy Universal, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, Dreamworks, NBC, TBS, AMC, whatever company whose medium is shared by Disney. The idea of having a Disney lifestyle probably doesn't apply to me, but there are days where I can't get Let It Go out of my head (or Happy). However, my love of theme parks first came from a Disney visit, so maybe it's safe to say its played a big influence on who I am now.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 1:52 PMWe stayed at Port Orleans, and we liked it for the most part. Even with its proximity to the parks, we felt like getting ready to head out is an all day affair. You know that no matter which park you are going to, it will be a half hour before you are at the gate. A bus ride, monorail, driving your rental car and parking in the lots, trams etc...
Every jaunt from the hotel seems like a major undertaking that requires planning. That is why I never fully understood why staying at one of the Disney owned hotels and not a "partner" hotel was such a benefit. OK, so we are slightly closer to the theme parks and parking is free... now get in line like everyone else...
Ride reservations? No, thank you....
Published: May 9, 2014 at 2:07 PMMelanie... you summed that up so nicely. We haven't had a great USF / Disney debate for quite a while. I do like the fact that Robert is always around to keep things civilized and this is a clean site.
This being said, I do not want to sway anyone from the Disney side to try out USF. You will just add to the park capacity....
P.S. I'm not the 1% who voted "Anything but Disney". I voted for the one above it....
Published: May 9, 2014 at 1:55 PMI am in my late 50's and have been a lifelong fan of DISNEY'S theme parks around the world. For most of my life I felt like DISNEY'S parks were the best. They were the best because their attractions were the most unique, detailed and innovative. But sadly over the last 10 years I have become very disappointed with DISNEY'S parks. I feel like now it's more about making money and turning a profit for their shareholders instead of being creative and innovative as they once were. In recent years they have continued to add to their astronomical ticket prices while offering less and less innovative attractions to their cash paying customers or guests as they like to call them. Now days we mostly get more over-priced restaurants, more over-priced merchandise shops and more meet-and-greets than cutting-edge rides/attractions. I now truly believe they care more about being the biggest instead of being the LEADER or the BEST as they once did. However; in recent years UNIVERSAL has made great strides and taken giant steps toward becoming the leader in the theme park industry. They began with SPIDERMAN and continued on that success by adding the MUMMY, TRANSFORMERS and the HARRY POTTER attractions. Plain and simple: these attractions raised the standard and are more cutting-edge and innovative than anything that DISNEY is offering these days. As a longtime fan of DISNEY'S theme parks it's hard for me to say or admit these things but it is just a fact. I will continue to be a fan of DISNEY'S parks. But very soon many more will be joining me in recognizing that the true leader in the theme park industry is now Universal.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 2:37 PMYou need more options. For instance I'd consider myself a partial Disney fan. I love the animation, theme parks (at least CA and Tokyo) and nostalgia of Walt the genius himself. However I could care less and sometimes loathe other things about Disney like the tv, home decor, broadway, live films (can't stand potc 2+) magic bands etc. So I'm somewhere in between the first 2 options. I think Disney is the best in some aspects but not all.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 3:10 PMI am in my late 50's and have been a lifelong fan of DISNEY'S parks worldwide. For most of my life I felt like they were the very best in the industry. They were the best because they offered attractions that set the standard and were the most unique, detailed and innovative. Sadly; in the last 10 years I have become very disappointed in the DISNEY theme parks. It now seems like it's all about making money and turning a profit for their stockholders instead of being creative and innovative as they were for so many years. I just feel like they care more about being the biggest instead of being the LEADER and being the BEST. Recently they have continued to add to their already astronomical ticket prices while offering less and less innovative attractions to their customers...or guests as they like to call them. These days they mostly offer more over-priced restaurants, more over-priced merchandise shops and more simple meet-and-greets instead of cutting-edge rides/attractions. And to make matters worse they have spent over 1.2 billion at last count to start up the MYMAGIC+ program which very, very few wanted but offered very few new attractions in return to entice their customers to even want to use this program. However; UNIVERSAL has made great strides and taken giant steps toward becoming the LEADER in the industry. It started with SPIDERMAN and they followed that success with the additions of THE MUMMY, TRANSFORMERS and the HARRY POTTER attractions. Plain and simple: these attractions have raised the standards in the theme park industry and are BETTER than anything DISNEY is offering to the public these days. As a lifelong fan of DISNEY it is hard for me to say and admit these things but it is a FACT...sorry DISNEY. The bottom line is that UNIVERSAL has taken the reigns in offering their customers the most detailed, innovative and technologically advanced attractions in the industry. Congratulations to UNIVERSAL...in my humble opinion you are now the new LEADER in the theme park industry!!!
Published: May 9, 2014 at 3:32 PMWell, if you go by attendance and park generating revenue, USF is not the leader. If innovation, expansion and creating a better guest experience is your thing, USF is definitely the forerunner.
Someone will bring up popularity / attendance, theme park & souvenir net revenue, and having to pay for parking at USF hotels by comparison. But that is like saying McDonalds is better than Ruth's Chris because more people go there....
Published: May 9, 2014 at 3:48 PMLove Disney and the parks, but the only thing which I've found disappointing is that over years their 'souvenirs' have become very 'tacky'. When we first started visiting their were numerous limited additions now they seem quite sparse. It's a shame. Actually there is also one other thing, some of the rides at Disneyland Paris need a good restoration. Pirates of the Caribbean and Small World are examples of this.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 3:57 PMI think the problem is that Disney is catering too much to the unconditional Disney fan and that it is neglecting its innovation. I am sorry, but Harry Potter really is the paradigm shift. It is completely amazing, but other parts of the parks at Universal do need work. Right now Disney could really use a change in how they are doing things. Do away with the cheap, Photoshop early 80's artwork on everything and make attractions that will amaze. Case in point: Alien Encounter (while maybe too scary) was awesome. Stitch sucks. The entire family hated the Little Mermaid ride, but everyone is itching to get back to Harry Potter. Now, this is only in Orlando. Theme parks elsewhere are not on the same level, but they can turn it around.
What they really need to do is think about how to make the customer's experience better. Make a Star Wars Land at Hollywood Studios on a grand scale. Not one ride and a restaurant, but several rides, stores, and themed areas. If Universal game get amazing attractions running in two years, they should not take five to get C and D ticket rides going. Throughout all the parks redo the cheesy 70's costumes that are everywhere. Make a fifth gate. And to the biggest: change that awful Fast Pass Plus. When we went there were hour plus lines for Spaceship Earth and Haunted Mansion most of the day. That was never the case. That is an example of them wanting to find a way to get more people in instead of making the experience great for the customer. They have the money. Now that they got the billion plus armbands done, it is time to get back to making magical experiences.
Yes, the discussion is Universal v. Disney. That is bound to happen. I like both, but I used to only like Disney. We simply had more fun at Universal the last time we were there due to really great new attractions and the Express Pass. Transformers, Mummy, Simpsons, Harry Potter, and the hotel were great. We went where we wanted when we wanted. At Disney is was all scheduled out in advance. It is time for Disney to step up to the plate.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 5:37 PMI'm much more into the theme parks, although I do see most Disney and Pixar movies on DVD. This whole "Disney lifestyle" thing is a bit of a stretch, but they're always trying to increase their outrageous profits.
Published: May 9, 2014 at 6:26 PMI'd say I'm a casual Disney fan. I like their films (Disney animation / Pixar), Broadway shows, & some of their other products etc. They have quality stuff..
In terms of the never ending Universal vs Disney, I like both, but it is apples & oranges.
Look at how many parks Disney operates vs Universal, yet this "debate" always seem to take place in connection with mainly the Florida parks.
Universal Japan vs Tokyo Disney Resort
Universal Hollywood vs Disneyland Resort
Then there's Universal Singapore, Hong Kong Disneyland, & Disneyland Paris
My point is that if one REALLY wanted to compare the companies, you have to look at the bigger picture.
Published: May 10, 2014 at 7:04 AMAfter reading the comments it has definitely turned into a Disney vs. Universal (Florida Parks) discussion! Which was not exactly the question asked, although they are always fun and interesting to read!!! I'll do my best to try to stay on the main topic though.
As far as answering the question, Yes I am a Disney fan! But I don't think they are the "Absolute Best". They are obviously very good at what they do and they have there hands in a ton of industries (Theme Parks, Movies, TV, Cruise Line, ect.)
Overall I almost always find joy in whatever Disney activity or experience I partake in, but I have also been underwhelmed and even disappointed with them on occasion. I can also find just as much or sometimes more joy with Disney's competitors in the same area's (NBC Universal for example! LOL).
Because of the overall mix of ups and downs I've had with Disney, I can say that I am definitely a fan, but they are not my hands down, BEST EVER, Favorite.
Published: May 10, 2014 at 8:11 AMSo far, 90% of the voters are Disney fans. No wonder the company is raking in the dough to the tune of $1-$3 billion profit a quarter. Wow!
I have no issue saying that while I love themed entertainment across the board, I love Disney the most. Looking at the big picture, Disney offers a complete entertainment package with almost everything they produce being suitable for my entire family. Add to that comment the fact that two of the most important brands to me in my formative years, Star Wars and Marvel, are part of the Disney fold, what's not to love?
Make Mine
Marvel Disney!!!
Published: May 10, 2014 at 9:21 PMQ. Are you a Disney fan?
Published: May 11, 2014 at 10:37 AMTH, I knew you wouldn't disappoint....
I had an interesting conversation last night with someone I have known for about a year now. Her name is Heather, and I think I found a bigger Universal fan than myself.
The last time she was there, the Mummy had just opened and the parks didn't look anything like they did now. She is about half my age and has been plotting to return since.
I turned her on to TPI and showed her all of the pics on my phone from last years trip. The things she said were uncanny. Every path / shortcut, hidden things that people walk right past, how to score big on MIB, it was insane.
Published: May 11, 2014 at 1:32 PMThirty years ago -- as a member of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom College Program -- I worked Main Street/Adventureland ops doing crowd control for a parade. My son Evan is a Walt Disney World cast member. Today (as in right now -- 30 years after me) he is doing crowd control for a parade.
So yeah, I'm a Disney fan.
P.S. Walt Disney World does not charge resort guests for parking.
Published: May 11, 2014 at 7:18 PMOh, I had started to write a long-winded comment, but thought better of it.
I'll simply say I am indeed a Disney fan (and working at EPCOT was the most fun I ever had at a job), but I have been more interested/fascinated lately with Universal's projects.
I feel like I'm married to Disney but Universal is my mistress and trying really hard to get me to divorce.
Published: May 12, 2014 at 6:51 AMI've been a lifelong Disney fan, but for the past decade I've become a bigger Universal fan. Disney does a great job, but for me, Universal does a better job.
And as to that free parking at Disney resorts...
Universal's Portofino Bay - single room
$295.50 per night
$20 self parking or $27 valet parking
unlimited Express Passes with room key
Disney's Polynesian Village - single room
$523.67 per night
free self or valet parking
4 FastPass+ reservations per day
Even with the parking added in, staying at Portofino Bay is still approximately $200 less per day.
Something tells me that you're still paying for that "free" parking.
Published: May 12, 2014 at 9:54 AM"Far nicer"... a little subjective there, no?
I think a few of us like to poke fun at the fact that no matter which Disney hotel you stay at, the perks are the same.
"Oh, you're staying in the $1440 a night room at the Polynesian with a view of the castle and marina? How nice for you, now get in line like everyone else...."
Published: May 12, 2014 at 10:35 AMHi Ryan....
I did say "theme park admission", so your comparison is a bit of a stretch, however, it is $50 a day to go to Cedar Point, not $35. So you pay half the price... and in a way, you get half the experience. Seems to be about what I expected. But take it one step further, if you add "fastpass" (Fastlane) to your Cedar Point visit (which is free at Disney) you are looking at an ADDITIONAL $75 - $95 per person during a July weekday visit. Ouch.
Still, my statement was more in comparing apples to apples, theme parks to theme parks. Or in this thread, Disney and Universal. And their prices are almost identical for single day tickets.
By the way, I personally don't care about the single day ticket price at the Orlando parks, since I never stay for just a single day. And honestly, I like having expensive single day tickets cause it keeps the riffraff out! ;)
Published: May 12, 2014 at 10:59 AMI'm curious, THC. As an Orlando resident have you ever had the opportunity to stay at the Polynesian Village or the Portofino Bay Resort?
I've never stayed in the Portofino Bay Resort, but I have stayed in the Polynesian Village and the Contemporary Resort. The rooms in both resorts were nice, but it was hard to justify the price. Now that Universal has onsite hotels at the Florida resort, the price differential is glaringly apparent, and it really gets hard to reconcile the extra cost to stay in one of the Disney premium hotels.
I know that Disney charges what the market will bear, and I don't blame them for doing so, but I hate the feeling that I'm getting "skinned" for being an ardent fan. What it does encourage me to do, however, is to go more often to Universal instead of Disney. (and pay for parking) ;^)
(If only I weren't so cheap, I'd buy that e-booklet that Robert wrote about how to save money at the Disney parks.)
Published: May 12, 2014 at 11:53 AMI have stayed at the Portofino Bay, but not at the Polynesian, so I am unqualified to objectively comment on both.
I'm sure a lot of people who live near Orlando drop $350-$500 per night to stay at hotel with no real incentive to do so when they live 10 minutes away. They have to, otherwise TH could not post that opinion truthfully.
Published: May 12, 2014 at 2:19 PMJames-
Okay I can see where you're coming from.
Here in Michigan, we can buy one-day admission tickets for Cedar Point at your local Meijer for $35.00. I just checked on their website and saw tickets are listed at $50.00 as you stated.
I suppose the overall "experience" depends on the individual. Obviously Disney doesn't compare to Cedar Point's elite roller coasters. And Cedar Point doesn't compare to Disney's dark rides.
BUT for the price... $35-50.00 clearly beats Disney's $99.00 one-day admission.
Published: May 12, 2014 at 3:26 PMWe are in violent agreement, Ryan! ;)
Most amusement parks do charge less than their theme park brethren. I really am not debating that point. But I do want to reiterate that Fastpass is free at Disney parks, not at Cedar Fair parks, which is a great equalizer when it comes to the whole park experience. Granted, CP doesn't pull anywhere close to the crowds at a Disney park, so FastLane may not always be needed, but it is a rare day indeed when the top coasters at CP aren't saddled with some kind of extended wait. You wanna bypass that wait? You just added a minimum of $75 to your ticket... Making your CP day more expensive than your Magic Kingdom day!
These guys gotta get their money somehow, and gouging the customers with expensive tickets, add ons, parking, food, up charge attractions, lockers, and souvenirs is commonplace. My only point being, Disney certainly does not hold exclusive rights to overpricing no matter how you add up the costs!

Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman knows something about back surgeries. He had one at 26 and recovered in time to start the 1993 season.
His experience gives him cause for concern over current Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who is recovering from surgery similar to Aikman's.
"I came back in a relatively short period of time because of when I had my surgery, so he's at least afforded more time to get ready," Aikman told the Cowboys' website during a charity event Wednesday at AT&T Stadium. "But having said that, two back surgeries in less than a year at his age, I would be a bit concerned."
Aikman led the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl during that '93 season, in which he completed a career-high 69.1 percent of his passes for 3,100 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He did miss two games, not because of his back but because of a leg injury.
Team officials believe Romo will be ready to start training camp. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Romo is ahead of schedule in terms of his rehab.
Romo had a cyst removed from his back last spring that delayed his work in the offseason program, and he came into training camp overweight. He was able to get his weight back down.
In December, he underwent a discectomy to repair a herniated disc that cost him the final game of the 2013 season. Romo told ESPN last month that his recovery is going fine but hasn't given much details about his recovery otherwise.
Still, concerns remain about Romo's return.
"I'm hopeful that he's able to come back -- everybody is," Aikman said. "This team won't be the same if he's not able to. I anticipate that he will come back. But to say that, 'Hey, he's ahead of schedule and everything's going fine,' I'm not sure how you can really measure that here in April."

Spurs will look to kick off their campaign in style after suffering semifinal disappointment last season, facing a League One team that defeated them in the 1987 final.

Andre Villas-Boas could give Scott Parker his first start since coming back from injury, but the FA Cup clash might come too soon for Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who is lacking match fitness.
Tottenham's big stars may be rested, giving the likes of Parker, Andros Townsend, Tom Huddlestone and Yago Falque a chance to impress. American goalkeeper Brad Friedel could be set to make his return to the Tottenham lineup, making his first start since signing a new contract at the club, one that will keep him at White Hart Lane until 2014.
The Sky Blues come into the game following their first defeat in 10 games, losing 1-0 on New Year's Day to Shrewsbury and will undoubtedly be going all out against Tottenham, making amends for last year's exit in the third round of the FA Cup.
Despite starting 2013 with a defeat, it is unlikely Mark Robins will make any changes to the lineup, with his team keeping an impressive eight clean sheets so far this season.
- Tottenham reached the semifinal of the FA Cup last year, losing 5-1 to Chelsea, who eventually went on to lift the trophy.
- Coventry beat Tottenham in the 1987 FA Cup final, grabbing a winner in extra time in a 3-2 thriller.
- Steve Ogrizovic, who played more than 500 times for the Sky Blues and was the goalkeeper in the 1987 FA Cup final, remains at the club as goalkeeping coach.
- Tottenham has won the FA Cup eight times, the most recent being in 1991.
- Coventry boss Mark Robins won the FA Cup once as a player, with Manchester United in 1990.
- Tottenham has not conceded this season when Scott Parker (pictured) has been on the field.
- Spurs have conceded only two goals in their last five Premier League games.
- David McGoldrick is Coventry's top goalscorer so far this season, scoring 18 times.

Andrea was helpful in supporting me in thinking through my situation and accommodated converting an agreement that my former husband and I negotiated between us into a fair document. She was responsive and efficient. I also found her very easy to relate to.
Posted by anonymous
Andrea has been my attorney for 12 years. She is excellent. No matter what the situation, Andrea will tell you her truthful opinion. She is extremely competent. Andrea handles every situation with dignity and professionalism. When the proceedings of divorce and child custody get out of focus, she will zero in on the business at hand. She will fight for you tooth and nail. I have never been disappointed in her work. She is simply the best around.
Posted by Sandra
Andrea mediated my divorce 6 years ago, having been referred to me by several attorneys in the area. She expertly combined professionalism with a warm, open demeanor, and maintained absolutely neutrality between the parties. I largely credit the positive relationship with my former spouse today to her.
Posted by Phil
Andrea represented me through the entire process associated with my separation and divorce. Andrea and her staff were very responsive throughout and kept me well informed of all developments in my case. Andrea provided guidance through the Child/Spousal Support process, Property Settlement negotiations and through the Divorce/Alimony hearing with the Master. Throughout this process I really valued Andreas experience & expertise and the high quality of service she provides. Her guidance really helped to protect my interests especially given the complexity of some of the issues that I needed help to address. It was very reassuring to have Andrea's representation through a very challenging period.

2 days for Raavanan - Awesome advance booking
First the good news, Mani Ratnam's Raavanan has taken a mind blowing opening in advance booking, when it opened in 16 Chennai screens today (June 16) morning!
Tickets for all shows in multiplexes have been sold out for the first week, while in single screens like Bharath, I Dream it has been equally good.
Maayajal is the only multiplex in India who are playing all three versions of the film. They are holding a record 50 shows of the film per day- Raavanan (45 shows), Raavan (5 shows) and Villain (2 shows). Says Meenakshi Sundaram, Manager of Maayajal: " The booking for Raavanan is phenomenal, nearly 80 percent of the shows have been sold out on the first day of booking."
Meanwhile Mani Ratnam held a special screening of Raavan for its crew and family members in Mumbai on Monday night. Next day the crew left for the London premiere of the film, which will be telecast live on NDTV tonight at 10.30 pm.
The big news in Chennai is that the first official preview of Tamil Raavanan was held on Tuesday night at Four Frames Preview theatre for the family members of AR Rahman (who is away on a world tour). Rahman's mother and other family members seem to have loved the movie.
Now the bad news is that the monsoons have hit Kerala, coastal Karnataka and Mumbai and by today evening Delhi. Please note Mumbai and Delhi are major markets for Mani Ratnam's Hindi Raavan, and rains can ruin box-office. So the trade is keeping its fingers crossed.

Adults As Math Students
Like many people, you may have taken as little math as possible when you were in high school or even college, considering some majors don't require that you take very much math, like certain liberal arts programs. Although you may not have worried about being math deficient when you were younger, you may now wonder if you missed out. There are a number of reasons to learn mathematics, so taking up the subject in middle age and even beyond is an excellent use of your time.
Problem Solving
No matter who you are or what you do, you have to solve problems on a daily basis. Learning higher math helps you develop and improve your problem-solving abilities no matter how old you are. When you do math, you have to be able to analyze the situation at hand. You must pay attention to detail, follow steps correctly, and then "prove" that your answer is correct. The focus is on logic and order, two qualities that benefit everyone.
Complex Thinking
The math you learn in elementary school is generally simple and requires that you correctly perform a few steps. When you learn how to do advanced math, you must perform a variety of tasks that build upon each other. You can get 90% of the equation correct, but that counts for nothing if the final answer is wrong. Successfully performing calculus, for instance, engages your mind at a higher level, so even if you don't "need" to know it to survive, it makes you a more sophisticated thinker and gives you a new "language" with which to interpret the world. Anything that improves your abstract thinking ability is worth pursuing.
New Career
You may wish to learn math in order to change careers. Many exciting professions require that you have a solid understanding of math concepts. If your life-long dream has been to be a play-by-play announcer, you need to be able to deliver statistics such as batting averages and free-throw percentages on a moment's notice. Even photographers need to calculate exposure, shutter speeds, film speeds, and more in order to create lovely photos.
If you decide to study mathematics in middle age, you have numerous options. You can take a class at the local community college, but if you prefer one-on-one attention, you can hire a tutor. Many companies offer both in-home tutors or online tutors to help you master a subject, so you can keep your studies private if you wish. Talk to a tutoring center like Mathnasium of Greenville Five Forks about your options. Remember, it's never too late to take up any area of study that interests you, math included.Read More

The nation didn't die from hippies, and it didn't die from signals intelligence.
I still think there is a miss communication going on here. Your correct that the nation didn't die for hippies or from signals intelligence, i never said it did. My last comment which you quoted was about the separation between "culture" and government. The governing body of a nation is not the "culture" and should not be driving the "culture".
My original post which you also quoted and responded to was plainly stating that the actions of terrorists where not successful in turning the US into a state of fear and resulting overreach of the government because they where designed to, but rather because the current government saw an opportunity to leverage it to gain more power over the people.
And sadly, we the people let them do it, not by choice but rather lack of action.
Please reread the posts before commenting further, I seriously think you are not comprehending what i'm writing.

Grading the NFC West: Week 10
SEAHAWKS REPORT CARD: SEATTLE 24, ST. LOUIS 22 PASSING OFFENSE: C -- Seattle tossed two touchdown passes without an interception, but there were other problems. QB Seneca Wallace held the ball too long on a play that led to a sack, forced fumble and 89-yard touchdown return. Wallace lost two fumbles while dropping back to pass. WR Darrell Jackson scored another touchdown, but he also dropped a pass near the sideline. RUSHING OFFENSE: B -- RB Maurice Morris topped 120 yards for the second consecutive week. Though no one knew it at the time, Morris had been playing with some nagging injuries that limited his effectiveness. He found ample first-half running room against the Rams' soft defense. C Chris Spencer was very physical in the ground game while filling in for injured veteran starter Robbie Tobeck. PASS DEFENSE: A -- CB Kelly Herndon played one of his finest games of the season as Seattle held Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce without a touchdown reception. Holt in particular had given Seattle problems over the years. The Pro Bowl wideout averaged only 10.8 yards per catch in rainy conditions against an improved secondary. SS Jordan Babineaux nearly picked off a pass while DT Chuck Darby, starting in place of injured Marcus Tubbs, had two sacks. LB Julian Peterson did not get a sack, but his pressure led to at least one sack by a teammate. RUSH DEFENSE: B -- The Seahawks kept Rams RB Steven Jackson from racking up huge numbers. Jackson found running room and the Seahawks never really stopped him. But they contained him just enough so that Jackson, who rushed for 93 yards, didn't influence the outcome of the game. Jackson's size was a concern after Chiefs RB Larry Johnson dominated Seattle on the ground late last month. SPECIAL TEAMS: B-plus -- The Seahawks can't complain about a 90-yard punt-return touchdown or another game-winning field goal. There were some warts, notably a kickoff out of bounds early in the game, but Seattle could live with those given the big plays. RB Josh Scobey set up the winning field goal with a 33-yard kick return in the final minutes. Seattle special teams played one of its best games when the team needed it most. COACHING: B -- Special-teams coach Bob Casullo has taken plenty of heat when things didn't go right. He deserves some credit after Seattle's special teams essentially won the game. WR Nate Burleson changed the momentum of the game with a 90-yard punt return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. K Josh Brown made his third game-winning kick of the season. The offensive plan was solid in terms of focusing on the run, but two play calls stood out as questionable. One was an ill-fated receiver pass. The other was an empty-formation play that exposed inexperienced QB Seneca Wallace to a blind-side hit from unblocked Rams DE Leonard Little. Defensively, the staff got more out of its secondary than expected against such a high-powered offense. SS Jordan Babineaux made aggressive plays on the ball. CB Kelly Herndon played an outstanding game. A few blitzes got pressure at key times. RAMS REPORT CARD: SEATTLE 24, ST. LOUIS 22 PASSING OFFENSE: C -- On a windy and rainy afternoon, QB Marc Bulger had one of his worst games of the season. His 26 completions totaled only 215 yards (8.3 per completion) and his passer rating was 68.2, breaking a string of six consecutive games with a rating of at least 106.6. The 68.2 rating was his lowest of the season. Even in the final drive that resulted in the go-ahead touchdown, Bulger was 7-for-9, but for just 47 yards. RUSHING OFFENSE: B -- Steven Jackson had 93 yards on 18 attempts, and scored the 14-yard touchdown that put the Rams ahead late in the fourth quarter. His 30-yard run in the game was his second longest of the season. PASS DEFENSE: B -- Even though Seneca Wallace had a passer rating of 114.6, he threw for only 161 yards and the Rams got to him for five sacks and two forced fumbles. In the second half, he was 4-for-8 for 15 yards, although 12 of the yards came on the final drive for the game-winning field goal. RUSH DEFENSE: D-minus -- Maybe it should be an F, but the bottom line is another poor outing. Maurice Morris rushed for 124 yards on 21 attempts and had 15 yards on the first two carries of the game-winning drive. It seems the run defense is getting worse, not better. SPECIAL TEAMS: D -- OK, Jeff Wilkins had another three field goals and is now 23-for-26 for the season. That's the good news. But the punt coverage team, which had allowed a long return of 12 yards in the first eight games, broke down and allowed a 90-yard punt return for a touchdown. The kickoff coverage was very good (14.4 per return) until the 33-yarder that set up the game-winning field-goal drive. COACHING: C -- Coach Scott Linehan is deservedly getting criticized for going for a first down on 4th-and-a-long-1 from the Seahawks' 12-yard line in the fourth quarter. The Rams led 16-14, and a field goal would have given them a five-point lead. The play failed, a pass to rookie TE Joe Klopfenstein, on a play call where FB Paul Smith claimed he didn't hear the play that required him to go out on a pass pattern. CARDINALS REPORT CARD: DALLAS 27, ARIZONA 10 PASSING OFFENSE: D -- QB Matt Leinart struggled for a third consecutive game. He was sacked only once, but too many of his passes sailed high. He completed 20 of 38 passes for 216 yards but didn't throw a touchdown pass and had two interceptions. Larry Fitzgerald had six receptions for 80 yards and Anquan Boldin broke two catches for 53 yards, but it didn't help the offense put points on the board. RUSHING OFFENSE: C -- The run game was actually effective at times, but the club fell behind and couldn't stick with it. Edgerrin James averaged 4.5 yards on his 15 carries against the league's fifth-ranked rushing defense, a number that must look particularly good with the season he is having. PASSING DEFENSE: D -- Dallas QB Tony Romo passed for 308 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't sacked. He was able to pick apart the Cardinals secondary, completing 20 of his 29 throws without an interception. RUSHING DEFENSE: B -- The Cardinals stopped the run for most of the day, but the defense eventually wore down, giving up a total of 126 yards, but a respectable average of just 3.6. The return of NT Kendrick Clancy helped immensely. SPECIAL TEAMS: C -- They didn't do anything to impact the game, either positively or negatively. The coverage teams were better, but the return teams still aren't producing. COACHING: C -- At least the effort was there this week, unlike the previous two games. Coach Dennis Green showed some daring by going for it on two fourth-down situations. The offense appears to have no direction, however, and the Cardinals remain the worst team in the league, proving it this time with a 17-point loss on their home turf.

Vegetation establishment, succession and microsite frost disturbance on glacier forelands within patterned ground chronosequences
Jake E. Haugland, Department of Geography, Gustavus Adolphus College, 800 West College Avenue, St Peter, MN 56082, USA.
E-mail: email@example.com
Aim The impact of microscale frost disturbance on vegetation colonization and successionary trends was examined within patterned ground features of Little Ice Age chronosequences. The goal was to investigate and compare vegetation response to micro-site frost disturbance with that of previous studies done at a coarser landscape scale.
Location The study sites occur on Little Ice Age glacier forelands within Jotunheimen, Norway (61°–62° N). The forelands of the glaciers Slettmarkbreen, Styggedalsbreen and Vestre Memurubreen have been well studied providing chronological controls for landscape studies. Sorted patterned ground features are found within the chronosequences, typically declining with frost intensity and disturbance with increasing terrain age.
Methods Micro-plots (8.3 × 8.3 cm) were placed at the inner borders and centres of patterned ground features. Species were identified and per cent species cover and per cent cover of life-form category were noted. Nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U-tests were used to test for differences between percent cover of life-form categories within patterned ground features as well as to identify thresholds of successional change across the chronosequences.
Results Significant relationships between life-from groups and patterned ground positions of varying ages were deduced using nonparametric statistics. Findings were then used to discuss trends of succession within patterned ground features and across the chronosequences. Vegetation establishment occurs at the border positions of young (< 30 years) patterned ground features. With time and distance from the ice margin, vegetation encroaches inwards toward the disturbed centres. Succession within patterned ground exhibits several stages: (1) bryophytes/crusts and lichens, (2) grasses/sedges and (3) woody shrubs. The occurrence of forbs was sporadic and generally non-significant.
Main conclusions Frost disturbance in patterned ground appears to delay successional trends of vegetation communities when compared with previous studies on 'stable' terrain, producing micro-site lag effects. These small patches of disturbed ground are therefore important regarding vegetation assemblages across the landscape and are unlikely to be detected at the landscape scale.

Downtown Local Area Plan
Thank you to everyone who attended the sessions and gave feedback on the Draft Downtown Local Area Plan open house on November 29th. The draft plan summary information is attached below, including a survey to provide your feedback. We encourage everyone and anyone to review the materials and provide us your thoughts. This will help to shape the final draft of the plan.
Draft Downtown Plan Poster Boards
The City of Moose Jaw – Planning and Development, along with B&A Planning Group and Intelligent Futures is beginning work on Moose Jaw's Downtown Local Area Plan. Up until this time, Moose Jaw has had various downtown ideas, plans and/or studies done to achieve a successful revitalization and preservation of its heritage as a part of that success. This Local Area Plan will be the first plan for the downtown that studies and evolves land use, urban design, heritage, transportation, servicing and open space considerations comprehensively such that an implementable vision can be achieved that sustains and enhances Moose Jaw's downtown.
What is a Local Area Plan?
The Downtown Local Area Plan (the "Downtown LAP") process will define a vision and conceptual development framework for growth and revitalization of the downtown over time. The Plan will also function as a foundation for the short, medium and long-term action items by way of policies, regulation tools, guidelines and catalyst projects for future development within the downtown area.
Boundary Area
The Downtown Local Area Plan boundary area is conceptually defined at the north from Oxford Street and to the south by the CP Rail Tracks. The east boundary is defined by 3 Avenue Northwest and the west boundary by 3 Avenue Northeast. Within the boundary, there is the Heritage Overlay District including Main Street from the CP Rail tracks to Athabasca Street to the north. To view the boundary map and aerial photos click the document link: Boundary Map and Aerial Photo
Project Start-Up
The project kicked off in April 2016. The project team assessed the downtown area, met with Council, city staff and key stakeholders to get a better understanding of the scope of the community's challenges, thoughts, experiences and stories of the downtown. The summary of input received will be coming shortly. The background information will be used to prepare for the upcoming "Design Charrette" with the broader community.
Downtown LAP Design Charrette
In order to achieve a dynamic and well-engaged downtown community contribution to the preparation of the Downtown Local Area Plan, the Project Team led a "Design Charrette" process with the community during the week of May 30, 2016.
A "Design Charrette" is a design process where a multidisciplinary team (including residents, business owners, the municipality and design professionals such as architects, engineers, planners and landscape architects) creates a visual plan for an area over the span of several days.
Downtowns are the heart of any city and the character and potential within Moose Jaw's Downtown is exciting and worthy of a process that engages City departments, the downtown community and other stakeholders in an interactive and dynamic manner. The "charrette" process included the preliminary information gathering/analysis during project start-up and a 5-day Design "Charrette" the week of May 30.
How the Public Was Involved
The community was invited to be a part of the "Design Charrette" process by dropping in to see the teams work in progress at the Downtown Main Street Storefront (338 Main Street North) on Tuesday, May 31 from 7 – 8pm and on Wednesday, June 1 from 7 – 8pm. The public events invite can be viewed below.
Downtown Local Area Plan Design Charrette Public Events Invite
The consultant team had design ideas and visuals to share and heard the community's thoughts about what was being worked on. We appreciated both evenings talking with interested citizens and business owners about the evolving ideas..
With the communities input, the design, planning, heritage, and development projects ideas evolved through the week. The "charrette" week resulted in a Thursday evening presentation event, June 2 at 7 – 8:30pm at the Mae Wilson Theatre (217 Main Street North). The presentation shared a vision and ideas that the community evolved with the Project Team that week. A copy of the Moose Jaw Downtown Local Area Plan is provided below along with a Charrette Presentation Survey to further gather input on the presented vision over the month of June 2016. Please take the time to review the presentation slides and fill out the survey. We look forward to your continued input on the plan.

The Brotherhood The Brotherhood
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Helping Young African American Men reach their educational dreams throughout the State of Colorado.
The Brotherhood is an organization dedicated to the educational development of young African American men. We support our mission through mentorship, living with integrity, striving for academic and personal success, respecting and interacting effectively with others while positively transforming Colorado's African American community.
The following is our core mission statement which we profess loudly and enthusiastically during our meetings:He had a dream: we are the dream
We are...leading by example
We are...achieving success
We are...lifting others up We are...making others take notice
We are...one
We are...proud We are...the future
We are...the Dream
The Brotherhood a non-profit organization dedicated to giving African American students the guidance and support needed to reach their greatest academic potential. The Brotherhood gives these young men a community of dedicated mentors and positive role models - establishing a meaningful relationship of trust and encouragement that begins early in their academic career and follows them into adulthood. It is our goal to ensure that each and every student is given the opportunity to utilize their education, hone their personal talents and achieve successes in the real world.
The Brotherhood was first established in response to the persistent disparity between groups of students, especially those defined by their socioeconomic status, race and gender. Major groups like the U.S. Department of Education and the Education Equality Project have dedicated years researching what causes these achievement gaps, particularly among low-income minority students, and all evidence suggests that positive influences in schools and the greater community are what impact academic performance most. Though The Brotherhood targets African American males specifically, our organization is all-inclusive and does not segregate our members based on gender or ethnicity. By reaching out to African American males, our organization seeks to address the social stigmas and stereotypes that affect this demographic in particular.
Though the organization is less than a decade old, The Brotherhood has demonstrated a consistent trend of improvement in the average GPA and demeanor of members; resulting in a higher rate of students pursuing college and trade schools as a post-secondary education. In the next five years, it is our goal to expand our model to new schools and cities, reaching young African American males across the country through cooperation with parents, educators and other non-profit agencies.

I know it's a weak title, but I haven't been blogging for over a week, so I couldn't come up with a decent title for it. Now, without furthur ado, it's time to do a late blog about the Heat winning the championship!
It was just last week when the Miami Heat came back from an 0-2 deficit and won the NBA Championship, becoming the first team in NBA history under the 2-3-2 rule to do so. I predicted that the Heat would win, and I was right. Now did the best team win the championship? In my opinion, of course they did!
Like I said before, in order to win the championship, you must have at least two superstars. The Heat had two in Shaq and D-Wade, while the Mavs only had Nowitzki. Can anybody name me one team that has won a championship with only one superstar? I can't think of one myself!
When you look at the teams who have won championships, they've always had duos. With the Lakers, they had Magic and Kareem (then Shaq and Kobe), the Bulls with Jordan and Pippen, the Spurs with Robinson and Duncan (and later Duncan and Ginobili), and the list goes on. Any time you see one team with two superstars go against a team with only one superstar, chances are the team with two superstars will win the series, and the Mavs have proven that to all of us.
Dirk didn't play his A game. I don't think he's played his B game either. When he was struggling, who picked up the pace? NOBODY!! Jason Terry may have been their only consistent scorer, but he's not a superstar. He couldn't even get the Hawks to a decent record for crying out loud!
Then you have the Josh Howard situation. It would be understandable if that was Chris Webber who called the timeout, but Josh Howard wasn't Chris Webber. Now Josh Howard will be infamously known as the guy who called timeout during the free throws when they had only one timeout remaining. Expect ESPN to do a Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame on that fiasco.
When Josh Howard called that timeout, I knew right then and there Dallas would lose in 6. You can't expect a championship team making moves like that while still blowing leads. It's even funnier that my Live consistently went with the Heat, and I agreed on almost all of its picks. I'm a genious at adjusting ratings!
Now, I know people have been comparing D-Wade to Jordan, and think it's not fair to do that since Wade's only won one championship thus far. I'm sorry, but I'll have to agree with the comparisons because that's who I was seeing when Wade was playing in the championships. Plus, I had mentioned that he was the king of and 1s, and Jordan was known for making impossible shots as well. The Mavs had no answer for him, and he stepped up when Shaq wasn't playing his game. Now Shaq has more championships than Kobe. See you next year #24!
Before I forget, here's the last sad look pic of this playoff season: We choked! That's all we did this series: choked!
And now ladies and gentlemen. It's time to stand up, and make some noooooooooissssse for your 2006 NBA Champions: the Miamiiiiiiiiiiii Heeeeeeeeaaaaaat!!
Am I done talking about sports? Of course not! I pay attention to sports all the time, no matter what sport they are, but I'm only going to be blogging about football, basketball, wrestling, and occassionally other sports. Oh, and before I forget, somebody posted this on my other blog:
wow amazing he's actually not talking about the NBA playoffs, looks like Dallas is gonna sweep, there's your analysis, dont need to write a blog about it lmao
Since then, Dallas was 0-4. Yes, there was a sweep, but that guy picked the wrong team to be doing the sweeping!
That's it with the NBA Playoffs talk! I'll do it again next year! Until that time comes:
And remember: it's my house, but you're welcomed anytime.

Twitter launched a new feature this morning called Year on Twitter along with Vizify, the service that gives you an infographic social resume which we included in our Top 100 Twitter Tools of 2012. I asked Vizify's Todd Silverstein to answer a few questions regarding this new partnership.
What is Year on Twitter and how specifically does Vizify integrate/support this new feature?
Year on Twitter lets discover the moments and people who made 2012 on Twitter so unique, from top trends to Golden Tweets (most retweeted tweets). Your Year on Twitter powered by Vizify is an instant interactive infographic that shows tweeters their own 2012 tweeting trends, Golden Tweet, and more It's a fun and easy way to reflect and and look back at the the words and topics that made the most impact on you this year. Here's our Chief Security Officer's Year.
Who will find this useful and why?
Your Year on Twitter is a visual snapshot of your tweets in 2012. We're constantly tweeting day in-and-out in real time. Your Year on Twitter is a great way to step back from that day-to-day and see the bigger picture and patterns that marked your 2012. You can see key words and phrases enter your timeline, grow, re-appear and change. And you can read the associated tweets based on date or word. Also, If your tweets only go back to October 2012, it may mean you're a tweetaholic! And, if your visualization is a little sparse, perhaps your New Year's resolution should be to tweet more frequently!
How did this development take shape? Whats the backstory as to how this partnership developed?
Twitter's been one of the services we've admired and supported from day 1. In fact, they were the most requested service to support when we were originally exploring the concept for Vizify. And we were also early adopters of their Twitter cards (which attaches an image of your Vizify bio to your tweets). While planning 2012's Year on Twitter, their team (especially James & Rachael) were exploring a whole bunch of interesting ways to make the year experience more personal for Twitter users. I believe one of their interns, an early adopter of Vizify pointed us out to them. From there, we began talking, and realized that there was a really nice complementarity between their mission & our own and that it made sense ...

Like last year's post, this one is made up of much of the same thing: a collection of my favourite images - certainly not instagram's best nine. I actually don't think any of these images made the cut there. For me it's not about the external validation or the "likes" adding up (though that's always a bonus!) but more about images I feel proud to have created because of the light I saw, the light I made, but most of all how that light evoked a mood, a feeling or a beauty previously unnoticed.

A comically large contact lens.The Lost Contact is a passive item introduced in The Binding of Isaac Rebirth.
Isaac wears a contact lens on his left eye.
All fired tears will have a shield around them, allowing them to destroy enemy projectiles at the cost of destroying themselves.
- Fire Mind - Tears retain the flaming effect, but remove the chance of explosion.
- IPECAC - Shots explode upon contact any hostile projectile, making them harder to damage enemies while even increase the possibility of harming Isaac himself.
- Mysterious Liquid - Overrider, Mysterious Liquid has no effect.
- Chocolate Milk - It is not advised to charge shots as they can be destroyed by any little projectile. However, the player can spam the fire key in order to shoot in a rapid succession, making this combination more useful.
- Brimstone, Technology, Technology 2 and Mom's Knife - Beams, lasers and the knife can also destroy enemy projectiles as their damage 'ticks'.
- Piercing tears like Cupid's Arrow - Tears pierce through projectiles rather than being destroyed.
- Rubber Cement - Tears bounce off hostile projectiles rather than instantly being destroyed, allowing them to destroy other projectiles again or damage enemies.
- Polyphemus - Hostile projectiles are treated as enemies: Polyphemus tears will pass through them with reduced damage.
- The Ludovico Technique - The Ludovico tear can destroy projectiles without being destroyed, making it an effective shield when facing enemies that use bullets as their main attack like Isaac.
