City life is expensive. With costs in rent, utilities and transportation, it's hard to have a little extra money set aside for a fun night out on the town. Or is it?
{Take package}
For starts, plan your night before you go out. Being spontaneous is fun, but if you're trying to save it's better to know your agenda to avoid unexpected costs.
"Well the easiest thing to do if you have family in town is to stay with family. Hotels here are really expensive, from anywhere up to three of four hundred dollars a night."
If you don't have family in the area, use websites like Groupon and Urban Daddy that offer discounted rates for hotels, restaurants and bars. Plastic Jungle is also a great website to use to get gift cards at a discounted rate. Some of the gift cards include places like T.G.I. Friday's, AMC Theaters, McCormick & Schmicks, and Chili's.

Art gallery openings also offer free cocktails and appetizers.
"When I go shopping and to dinners, I'll normally buy a bottle of wine for us."
Instead of paying by the glass, buy a bottle of wine to save. Avoid wines like chardonnay and pinot grigio since they are more popular and the prices are escalated.

"FIFA is delighted to have Sebastian Coe as chairman of this committee," FIFA president Sepp Blatter told reporters. "His personality and integrity, which is renowned the world over, will ensure that he is the best possible person for this role." Football's governing body approved the new code of ethics and the ethics committee at a meeting at the organisation's headquarters in Zurich. However, the committee will not handle the current case which involves Vice-president Jack Warner and ticket resales as it was decided the new committee will only handle cases which arise from today. Warner's case will be handled by FIFA's disciplinary committee. Source: Reuters

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 170125 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 825 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017 .UPDATE... Our overall lack of decent CAPE and mid level lapse rates has kept this activity more as rain showers, though heavy in spots, vs thunderstorms. We`ve had a few storms goose up to produce lightning, but it`s been very quiet. Our main concern is the combo of low LCLs and increasing low level wind shear along and north of the approaching warm front to the south. This has caused the storms to rotate, raising the concern for funnels or a quick weak spin-up tornado. Or, at least a focused downburst of winds. Any tornado that develops would be short lived and weak. The chance is low, but it is there. RAP analysis now has 30kts of 0-1km shear poking into southern Rock/Walworth counties, and 25kts over a larger area to the north. The SR Helicity increases this evening as well...along that warm front. Despite the lack of thunder, this activity needs to be watched closely. Things should settle down as the evening progresses, especially toward midnight, with CIN increasing and CAPE continuing to fall. && .MARINE... Strong south to southwest winds develop by Thursday afternoon in the wake of a passing surface trough. Those winds will continue to veer to the southwest and west into Thursday night. A small craft advisory will be issued for the entire area to capture these increasing winds. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 534 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017) UPDATE... Convection along the sfc warm front continues to lift north across the area. A secondary, lake effect boundary that stretched from Chicago, northwest into Walworth county has caused the warm frontal convection to rapidly increase for a time over Rock and Walworth counties late this afternoon. These may die back down a bit as it moves away from that feature, into less favorable air. The previous discussion is excellent with respect to the overall threats for tonight. We are in a rather weak CAPE/Lapse Rate, higher shear environment. These does lend itself to weaker storms with potential rotation. These have to be watched closely for any quick weak tornado spin-ups. It`s very low end stuff, but a threat. AVIATION(00Z TAFS)... Look for conditions to gradually lower to MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS this evening as storms rotate north across the area overnight. These lower conditions will persist through much of the TAF period. The east to southeast winds will shift to the south after midnight, then southwest Thursday afternoon. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 310 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017) SHORT TERM... Tonight and Thursday...Forecast Confidence is medium. Synoptic forcing for ascent is maximized tonight and includes both jet-level divergence and increasing DCVA. A TROWAL (trough of warm air aloft) will bring some focused mid-level theta-E advection and a frontogenesis response. Thunderstorms have already initiated along the low-level warm front across northeast Iowa and northern Illinois, and they will continue to push north into the area this evening as the front lifts north. Localized heavy rainfall remains possible in any thunderstorm, given the favorable moisture parameters. A secondary concern for this evening is the low-end tornado potential associated with any thunderstorms located near the warm front. The front will provide just enough increase above the ambient low-level shear to provide 100 to 200 m^2/s^2 of effective helicity this evening, which could be enough to induce rotation in any robust updrafts that may develop. This is considered to be a very low risk, but one worth paying attention to nevertheless. The upper trough will be working through the western Great Lakes on Thursday, resulting in mostly cloudy skies with chances for showers and perhaps a thunderstorm. Went a bit below guidance for high temperatures considering this. Thursday night through Saturday...Forecast confidence High. The occluded low will be centered over Upper MI at 00z Fri and will continue newd into Ontario, Canada for Fri. A few instability showers could linger Thu eve. The stratocumulus field may continue through the night and decrease Fri AM. A shortwave trough will then approach in wnwly flow aloft with the most focused area of PVA and lift to pass across IA and IL, thus only slight chances of showers over far srn WI for Fri aft-eve. Weak high pressure will then settle over the region for Sat-Sat nt. Seasonal temps and humidity is expected during this period. LONG TERM...Sunday through Wednesday...Forecast confidence Medium. Swly sfc flow will support warm and humid conditions for Sun-Mon followed by the cold front Mon nt-Tue AM. Nly sfc flow and comfortable temps and humidity for Wed. AVIATION(21Z TAFS)... The first round of showers and thunderstorms will push from southwest to northeast this evening into early tonight. Briefly lower CIGs and VSBYs are possible in the heavier storms. Additional chances for showers and storms are expected around or a little after midnight. Ceilings will drop later tonight, likely lowering to IFR levels across northern and western portions of the area. Visibilities may lower a bit as well, but there is uncertainty. A low-level jet at 2 kft should increase to around 25 knots tonight, bringing us close to low-level wind shear criteria. Southwest to west winds will increase late tomorrow into tomorrow night with surface gusts to around 25 knots. MARINE... Small craft conditions are anticipated north of Port Washington later tonight into Thursday afternoon. Small craft conditions are likely once again for Thursday night into Friday, when gusts of 25 to 30 knots are possible. Another small craft advisory will likely be required during this time. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...Small Craft Advisory from 4 AM to 4 PM CDT Thursday for LMZ643. && $$ Update...Davis Tonight/Thursday and Aviation/Marine...SPM Thursday Night through Wednesday...Gehring

It's been a year since I last wrote on my blog so I guess it's a bit of a surprise but I'm still alive and kicking! :D
I've had a lot of things to do last year (but nothing on the optima front except some spare parts for the mini-z optima) so I left the blog unbusy... What's the status of the Optimania these days? Each day there are people posting new pics on vintage forums so I don't think the craze is over yet. On Ebay there is no shortage of spare parts (the repro market is very active; tires, bodies, shock collars, ...) and on Tamiya Club for instance, the SIG is full of pictures. This year I'll finish my 3D Optima Mid for sure and I'll paint some Mid bodies as well. Sure! :D
PS I've begun a new blog about mini-z autoscales if you care :D

7 month old waking up more(6 Posts)
My DS hasn't slept as well since we moved him to his cot/own room at 5 months and he's getting worse.
We have wake ups roughly every hour till midnight and usually 2 or 3 between then and 7am, times vary each night. He is EBF bar the odd bottle of formula in the afternoon trying to get him to accept a bottle. Thing is I'm not even sure he's that hungry, I think sometimes he's after the comfort and sometimes he's just run out of cot to shuffle up. He's not settling as well after feeds now either. Should I just continue to BF every time he wakes in case he is actually hungry? It's hard to tell exactly how much he's had. Or is there anything I could be trying to discourage waking up for comfort? I feel mean even asking that but some days I'm just so tired and he used to be so settled.
I've read on MN that a baby that wakes frequently before midnight is an overtired one. I'll say that is also true of my DS.
At 7 months he's still quite young, I think a baby that age will need feeding through the night, it was only really when DS got much older (past 1) that I knew he wasn't hungry
and waking up for no bloody reason except for boobies
sorry its a killer isn't it, you are not alone
I've just been through something similar with my DS (now nearly 8mo).
In the end I tried sleep training using Andrea Grace's book. She reckons no baby needs night feeds after 6 months. Not sure I agree, but I started to time the night feeds and then gradually reduce the duration - 10mins then 7 then 5 etc. The idea was to eventually get to 3mins and by then he's supposed to realise it's not worth waking up for.
Only managed five nights before the heatwave struck and it all went tits up but we were down to five min feeds. He was still waking loads (not sleeping more than 90mins at a time, usually a lot less), but the main thing was that he didn't mind the short feeds so I guess he wasn't that hungry afterall.
In the past week we've gone down to two or three feeds, which I've probably just gone and jinxed! But he's done this all by himself, with a bit of help from DH who seems to have now learned how to settle DS after nearly 8 months. I guess the time was right for these things to come together.
Two night feeds is fine with me altho it does suggest that he is hungry in the night afterall? Dunno. But you could try shortening the feeds and see if your LO protests. Or get someone else to settle them - if the bar's closed then they might not wake to place an order.
Well we had the worst night sine he was a newborn last night. Up hourly from 8.30 till 11.30, then wouldn't go to sleep for longer than 20 mins till 4am. Not sure what was up with him, resorted to Calpol in the end thinking there might actually be something keeping him from sleeping and a final feed and he was down till 7am.
Swivel- I do think he may be over tired, he resists naps most of the time and will wake up as soon as we get in to the house. Might have to look at his daytime routine
or lack of
Butternut-I think I have probably made a rod for my own back in someways. I am far to over reliant in BFing him to sleep, especially since he's gone to his own room so can't imagine being able to take him off still awake and him sleeping. He used to self settle really well in the moses basket but cries as soon as he goes in the cot. Apart from boobies I have no other ways of settling him either.
I was happy when we only had one or 2 feeds and it was up for 20 mins then straight back down afterwards. We went on like that for months and it was fine but i think the problem now is he's not settling as well afterwards so it feels harder.
Oooh that's rough... hope last night was better for you. We are still totally dependent on boob for naps snd bedtime. He always falls asleep while latched on - doesn't detach on his own, so times when I nodded off I'd wake an hr later to find him still attached.
Now I wait until I think he's sleeping rather than feeding (not always obvious as he still sucks when sleeping) then detach him. Usually after ten or fifteen mins. Then comes tricky transfer to cot. If that fails then I usually nurse him again!
You cd always get him checked by Dr to rule out ear infection etc. Apparently weaning can also cause more waking as their tummy's working overtime. But could just be a bad patch so nothing wrong in doing whatever it takes to get him back to sleep. I got really stressed trying to figure out why DS was waking and wondering how to fix it but when it gets really bad think you just got to go with it. When the mist's cleared a bit then you can think about what you can change so you both have better nights.
A little better thank you. Still didn't get much of an evening but he settled by 11.30 then slept through till about 4.30 and again till 7.30. We are exactly the same with boob and he seems to hate his cot. It
We resorted to calpol again last night and it seemed to do the trick but I hate giving it to him for no good reason. I don't think it's likely to be an ear infection because he seems so chirpy during the day but will keep an eye on him and see if he show's any signs now it's been suggested. We thought it might be teething but he isn't showing any other signs really. We could be feeding solids too late in the eve or it could be the lack of naps or just a phase.
I'm handing him to the GP's this evening for a couple of hours, my dad tends to just let him sleep on him rather than put him down and isn't put off by crying so think that will suit him quite well at the moment, with any luck a change will break the pattern though won't hold my breath.

We're Fury-ous That This Important Character Wasn't In 'Captain America: Civil War'
If you had to choose one thing to criticize about Captain America: Civil War, it probably wouldn't be something along the lines of the cast being too small, or there not being enough characters in the massive superhero ensemble.But though Civil War managed to fit in a hell of a lot of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the Captain America and Avengers films, specifically — there were still a few key characters missing from the roster. One of whom is not a superhero, but the man who brought the Avengers together in the first place.
Yes, we speak of course of Nick Fury, whose Ultimate comics version was actually designed to look like the man who would later go on to portray his on-screen counterpart, Samuel L. Jackson.Now, it might not seem immediately strange for Fury to be absent during Civil War. He went AWOL following his supposed death during the previous Captain America movie, The Winter Soldier, and was only present in a cameo role during The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, which you can view below:But still, even though S.H.I.E.L.D. was pretty much wiped out as a governmental organization during The Winter Soldier, Fury did set up the Avengers Initiative in the first place. And we did wonder why neither Nick Fury nor Commander Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) showed up to sort out the kids' fight in the playground at any point.
There is a solid answer to this, though it's sadly logistical. According to Civil War co-writer Christopher Markus, bringing Fury into the conflict would've raised more questions than his presence would've resolved:
"We called him, but he let the line blink. Primarily it felt like one too many possible opinions. We didn't want him to take one side or the other, because that's not his place in the universe. And then we didn't want another, 'Is he still with the government? Is he opposed to the government but supporting the government?' It got to be the potential for a lot more polemic discussion that the movie did not have room for."
They're not wrong — exactly where Fury stands both in political terms and in regard to the Avengers is still a very fuzzy gray area. He went underground at the end of The Winter Soldier to continue exposing covert HYDRA agents, but we haven't heard much from him since.
While S.H.I.E.L.D. is now officially good and dead in the wider MCU, in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series is still alive as a covert, off the books operation. Fury makes a few appearances in Season 1 of the show to hand over the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. mantle to Agent Phil Coulson, but he's far from being officially back in the field.
However, he popped up again at the conclusion of Age of Ultron at the New Avengers Facility, presumably to assist Black Widow and Captain America in the training of the new recruits. What he's been up to between Age of Ultron and Civil War though is still a matter of much mystery.
According to other screenwriter Stephen McFeely, we might find out the answers to those questions soon enough though, as it's pretty likely that we'll see Nick Fury returning for Avengers: Infinity Wars in some way or another.
Maybe it's a good thing that he wasn't there during Civil War though — likely the conflict would've been over much faster if he'd been there to wrangle the "kids," as Markus says:
"[Fury's] the guy who put it together. He's been the sort of parent figure to the Avengers. Let the parent go away, and see if the kids can handle this. See if the kids can be who they're supposed to be without that governing voice. Um… and they didn't do that good of a job."
And that there is what we like to call an understatement.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Belief in God is a "virus," and evangelical Christianity is one of the more "virulent infections," a British Conservative peer and columnist for The Times of London has claimed.
In an attack on faith schools, Matt Ridley said that "rationalists" want to "protect" children from religion.
And the peer, a supporter of the British Humanist Association, said, "secular, free thinking" should be adopted to "combat the rise of radical Islam and radical Christianity."
His comments in The Times came as a report was released on the "Trojan Horse" Islamic plot in some Birmingham schools.
Ridley claimed that the report's revelations were not surprising given that faith schools are supported by the state in the U.K. He said "religious practice" should be taken "out of school altogether."
However, he noted: "I know such a view is considered intolerant, even bigoted."
Discussing "faith communities," he said: "Anglicanism is a mild and attenuated form of the faith virus and may even act as a vaccine against more virulent infections, but Christianity is becoming more evangelical in response to its global competition with Islam."
"Mild Anglicanism should make common cause with humanists in defense of tolerance," Ridley added.
He concluded that unlike Francis Crick, the Nobel-winning co-discoverer of DNA, who in the 1960s "foresaw the end of religion and started a competition for what to do with the college chapels in Cambridge," today's atheists take a different approach.
Ridley explained, "Rationalists no longer expect to get rid of religion altogether by explaining life and matter: They aim only to tame it instead and to protect children from it."

Pelagic archaeal phylogenetic diversity and the potential for crenarchaeotal nitrification of Group 1.1a were determined in the rivers Rhine and Têt by 16S rRNA sequencing, catalyzed reported deposition-fluorescence in situ hybridization (CARD–FISH) and quantification of 16S rRNA and functional genes. Euryarchaeota were, for the first time, detected in temperate river water even though a net predominance of crenarchaeotal phylotypes was found. Differences in phylogenic distribution were observed between rivers and seasons. Our data suggest that a few archaeal phylotypes (Euryarchaeota Groups RC-V and LDS, Crenarchaeota Group 1.1a) are widely distributed in pelagic riverine environments whilst others (Euryarchaeota Cluster Sagma-1) may only occur seasonally in river water. Crenarchaeota Group 1.1a has recently been identified as a major nitrifier in the marine environment and phylotypes of this group were also present in both rivers, where they represented 0.3% of the total pelagic microbial community. Interestingly, a generally higher abundance of Crenarchaeota Group 1.1a was found in the Rhine than in the Têt, and crenarchaeotal ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) was also detected in the Rhine, with higher amoA copy numbers measured in February than in September. This suggests that some of the Crenarchaeota present in river waters have the ability to oxidize ammonia and that riverine crenarchaeotal nitrification of Group 1.1a may vary seasonally.

"A Very Satisfying Visit to Accident & Emergency..."
About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) Truro TR1 3LJ
Posted by Richard Walker
Last Saturday afternoon, 7th November, I developed excruciating knee pain for no accountable reason. I was unable to walk and kept passing out/fainting. About 1700hrs my wife took me to the Accident & Emergency Dept at Treliske . After waiting for approx 30 minutes I was seen by a member of staff who was very caring, kind, attentive and concerned about my problem. An x-ray was taken and the radiographers were very caring too. Fortunately the x-ray did not reveal a fracture nor ligament damage. What a mystery!
The member of staff decided to put me in a knee brace, provide crutches and painkillers with an instruction to visit my GP within a week. Before leaving the hospital I fainted again and was kept in for another hour or so for observation.
The treatment I received was first class and nothing was too much trouble. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and knowledge. The member of staff was courteous, polite and very patient with me when I needed clarification of something I did not understand. They are a great credit to themselves and very personable indeed.
Thank you for having such nice people working at Treliske Hospital.

Sydney speedster Gary Rohan has full confidence in his knee going into the AFL grand final after he played unhindered against Geelong.
The 25-year-old was a key contributor in the 37-point preliminary final win over the Cats just six days after he was stretchered from the SCG with a knee injury to the same leg he badly broke in 2012.
He says he gained a lot of confidence after he trained on Wednesday, which was reinforced by his performance against Geelong.
"I didn't feel it all during the game, which was really positive," Rohan told AAP.
"When I went down I did fear the worst. Obviously there's a bit of history with that leg, so I got a bit of a shock. But I've got rods and screws in there that hold it all together.
"I'm really confident in it."
So swift was his recovery, his teammates quickly saw the lighter side.
"The boys put a stretcher in my locker," he said.
"It was all a bit of fun."
In-form defender Aliir Aliir injured his knee against the Cats, but is a chance to play in the grand final after scans showed he had only suffered a ligament strain.
Jarrad McVeigh (calf) and Callum Mills (hamstring) didn't play in the preliminary final but will have a chance to press their claims on a return at training this week.

Number One Cake... What Have I Let Myself In For.
Decorating By HRHLizzi Updated 9 Oct 2009 , 8:51am by bashini
HELP me please!! It's my son's first birthday party this weekend, and I want to make his birthday cake.
I have gone out and bought a number 1 cake tin, and whilst thinking tonight that I wasn't sure how I could cover it with fondant icing (think I'll opt out and use frosting now!) I came across an even bigger problem.
My cake-tin is a Cake tin-FRAME. I've never used one before, and have no idea how to!!
Do I place the tin on a baking tray or what? Please give me some advice!
Thank you
Lizzi xx
Found this online:
"Number 1 Cake Frame
for making a cake in the shape of the number 1
To use place on a baking tray and line properly with greaseproof paper. "
Sorry, I don't have more info. I've never used one before.
Hi Lizzi, I have used one of those frames once. What I did was, I took the greese proof paper and cut it to the shape of the tin keeping 1" boarder so you can stick that around the tin. I used sticky tape to stick them. And make sure you keep that on another tray, incase if there's any leaks. After that I never used them.
Next time what I did was, I bake my cake in a 12" X 9" rectangular tin. When its baked and cooled, I cut the cake in half lengh wise. Then assembled it as number 1.( Hope you get the picture ).Then crumbcoated it and used quite a lot of fondant and roll it out bigger then the size of the cake. Take the rolled fondant and cover the whole cake and first did the corners and the curves. That's why you need to roll out the fondant quite big. Take your smoother and go around the cake. Then cut the excess off.
And the other thing that you can do is, measure around the cake and hight of the cake and roll out the fondant and cut a strip to the measurements you took. And then attach it around the cake. Then roll out another piece of fondant, enough to cover just the top of the cake. Cover the top of the cake with that rolled fondant and using a sharp knife cut the excess. To cover the seam, you can use the clay gun.
There are few No.1 cakes that I did in my photos.
Hope all this makes sence. If you need further help, please ask. Good Luck!
Thank you so much Bashini.
I did as you suggested and put baking paper on the bottom. I also lined the sides. The cake has just come out the oven and looks fantastic. It rose over the edge and seeped down one side of the tin, but that'll just cut off.
Finished (but undecorated!) cake:
Its a pleasure! The cake looks great. Can't wait to see the end product.

Guide part 3
Rygar features several items to pick up. Some items are "inheritable" and may be used on your next play once you clear the game with that item. There are several power-ups that will have an instant effect when picked up, and others that are more for inventory. Unlike Devil May Cry, Rygar does not feature a wussy shop system. You should be very stingy in what you use (unless against a Boss) or you may wind up with a dead game. The best way to avoid this is to read the guide. If you follow the guide, you will less likely encounter a dead game. All items are either dropped from enemies, or in some cases, found in statues and rubble that can be destroyed by Diskarmour attacks. All the items are discussed below.
Sfaira - Purple or blue sphere. Blue sfaira adds 10 points, and purple sfaira allots 100. This item's effects are immediate when picked up.
Nectar - Restores life. A goblet or a bag. The bag restores more life than the goblet. Effective immediately when picked up.
Pneuma - Restores Icol. A blue flame dropped by enemies or found in rubble. The effects of this item are immediate when they are picked up.
Ambrosia - Restores all life. This can be carried by Rygar as inventory. You can only carry one. On easy, this is increased to three. This is a rare item, so use it only when necessary.
Omphalos - Restores all Icol. This can be carried by Rygar as inventory. You can only carry one. On easy, this is increased to three. This is a rare item, so use it only when necessary.
Caduceus - Revives Rygar with full life and icol if killed. You can only carry one, regardless of difficulty. Automatically used if Rygar dies. This item is very rare. Try not to die unless you can't help it (like during the last boss on Legendary).
Holy Sword - Increases Rygar's attack by one, up to 49. If you clear the current play, you can inherit this value on the next game.
Holy Shield - Increases Rygar's defence by one, up to 49. If you clear the current play, you can inherit this value on the next game.
Holy Armour - Increases Rygar's life. The maximum is 990 life. If you clear the current play, you can inherit this value on the next game.
Tablet, Letter, Scroll - Various background material that makes for excellent bathroom reading. Some give hints but most deal with the story.
Sound Chunk, Statuette, Relief - There are several and they are fairly randomised. Each unlocks a piece of music, a picture, or a movie in the Gallery. And no, they do not change the future.
Silver Statue - Statue that may hold a variety of items, and are usually quite common. Their contents vary the least depending on the difficulty level chosen; any Mystic Stones from Silver Statues will become Pneuma when struck apart during a replay.
Black Statue - Statue made of a darker metal, and is more difficult to see while exploring. They are less common that Silver Statues, but their contents remain the same throughout all difficulties (except the one holding Persephone).
Gold Statue - Statue made of gold. For some reason, Rygar doesn't scrape up the pieces like American pennies on the floor. These statues hold crucial skills and moves that allow Rygar a greater degree of mobility and improvement. Gold statues are hard to miss, since they are necessary to finishing the game (mostly). Some gold statues holding the optional Diskarmour skills will be out of the way, but they are not necessary for finishing the game.
Pot Switch - From the first Rygar, the pot switch is magically attenuated to the ley lines of Argus and will unlock magick seals that bar intruders. Rygar will find many of these in his journey and they will be the immediate objective in most stages.
Stomp Switch - For the new Rygar, this switch resembles a giant metal pedastel. Rygar needs the stomp skill to use this switch. Like the pot switch, this switch will be linked to obstacles that bar Rygar, but they cannot be dealt with until after World 4 is cleared.
Metal "Tackle" Box - These are large boxes made of a strange alloy. An unknown energy passes through the circuitry on the cube's surface. Rygar will need the tackle ability from World 6 before he may overcome these obstacles.
Mystic Stone - As opposed to "Mystic Heroes", these 25 stones actually do something and enhance Rygar's already impressive abilities. Some are easy to find, some are not. All are indispensable on Hard or Legendary difficulties. Plus you want to collect them all anyway to have them available for harder difficulty levels. All mystic stones are unique and can only be picked up once. When you pick up a stone from a preset location, that statue or rubble will have Pneuma the next time you smash it. The only exception is with Hestia and Eirene. These two stones occupy the same location, except on different difficulty levels.
First Row
Ares, God of War - Increases attack beyond base attack value
Normal difficulty. First found on World 4 Labyrinthos on Normal, inside the courtyard past the beach entrance. Strike apart one of the statues in the courtyard stairs that lead up to the Hades Execution statue. This stone is accruable. This means that each one you pick up will add its bonus to your existing Ares stone. It's quite possible to possess Ares of a very high value if you replay the game (or One World mode, Labyrinthos on Normal) enough times. Ares may also be found dropped by enemies on Hard and Legendary, and is a reward in Necromondio on Easy. Ares has a terminal limit of +50. After this, all Ares stone locations become Pneuma.
Athena, Goddess of Wisdom - Increases defence beyond base defence value
Easy and Normal difficulty. The Athena Stone is found in the same area as Ares on Normal difficulty. In addition, Athena can also be found inside a room barred by a metal "tackle" box in the Elysion Shrine. Like the Ares stone, the Athena stone can accrue its bonus, giving Rygar the needed help on Hard and Legendary modes (not so much on Legendary, but at least on Hard). Athena may also be found dropped by enemies on Hard and Legendary. Athena has a terminal limit of +50. After this, all Athena stone locations become Pneuma.
Demeter, Goddess of Harvest - Decreases impact damage from knockback
Normal difficulty. Replay only. Random enemy drop on Normal replay. If Rygar is knocked against a wall or floor from an attack (think Minotaur or Cyclops), he will take half the damage indicative of the difficulty level.
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love - Barter Icol for Life, Motion is L1 + Square or Circle
Any difficulty. You will need the Swing/Lift skill. In the Palace of the Three Knights, locate the stairs hidden inside one of the alcoves. Navigate the ledges on the upper story to the right and use the yellow latch orb to swing across the gap to the statue. Equip Aphrodite when you require life and you have Icol to spare. Aphrodite, being the nymph that she is, bestows 48 life for 24 Icol. Exactly how she recovers Rygar's life is up to your livid imagination. Huhuhuhu.
Apollo, God of the Sun - Guard Interrupt. Motion is L1, L1 quickly or R1, R1 quickly
Legendary difficulty. Random enemy drop. I earned this in World 7, Tartaros. One of the two invisible Cyclops in the room just before you fight the invisible Minotaur dropped this stone of dubious value.
Second Row
Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt - Recover Life through kills
Any difficulty. World 1, Colosseo. You will need the Tackle skill. The Artemis stone is behind a metal "tackle" box in World 1, Colosseo. The entrance is where Rygar appears on the Main Field after slaying Hekatonchiertes, the Colosseo Boss. This area of the Main Field exits to the Colosseo or Geyron Hill. A section of fence in this area is broken (towards the bottom of the screen) that allows Rygar to revisit the Colosseo. For players who are eighteen and anal, Artemis is in the statue you saw past the hanging cage near the last save point in World 1 (right before you fought Hekatonchiertes). True to her nature, Artemis awards Rygar five life for each enemy he slays.
Hephaestus, God of the Forge - Earn Sfaira through kills
Any difficulty. In World 3, the Poseidonia Shrine, there is a balcony in the water filled courtyard outside the Shrine proper that has a statue you can't jump to. Access the statue from inside the Shrine. You will need to flood the Hall of the Sun and earn the Sea Diskamour before you can get Hephaestus. After securing the Sea Diskarmour, head back to the Hall of the Sun. After the Sea Font cut-scene, head for the Sea Font and make a small detour out of the shrine by sliding under the small hole by the Sea Font. If Hephaestus is equipped on a Diskarmour that makes a kill, Rygar earns 10 Sfaira for the kill alone. Yes, this includes bosses.
Dionysus, God of Partying-Down - Imparts knockback to Rygar's attacks
Hard difficulty. Random enemy drop. Enemies can be knocked back to take extra impact damage from Rygar's attacks. You will need to execute variant or combo attacks to deliver impart knockback, or he won't do anything useful. The standard combo attack of any Diskarmour (Square multiple times) will impart knockback.
Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth - Enables auto guard
Easy difficulty; there are no exceptions. In the Palace of the Three Knights, in one of the black pillars ringing the center structure. Search for this valuable stone after the fight with the Sphinx Boss, not before. Hestia will automatically block for Rygar if he is not attacking, in mid-air, or staggering back from a hit. Hestia allows Rygar to move freely and instantly block most attacks, giving players with slow reactions an edge in combat.
Hera, Queen of Heaven - Widens Heaven Diskarmour's Remote sweep
Any difficulty. Found in World 5, Mt. Othrys. After fighting the Red Boa and the Centaur Bosses, you will entertained by a nice bee-ess session with some familiar people. After the cutscene, head left and get back to the cave with four entrances. This room looks like one of those plastic sporks you pick up at Kentucky Fried Chicken. In this spork room, climb the steps and head outside to the series of ledges leading to Arcadia. Drop down the third gap for the statue. Hera widens the area of the Remote move from 90 degrees to 180 degrees.
Third Row
Persephone, Queen of Hades - Enables fast snap on Hades Diskarmour
Any difficulty. In the Main Field. This stone requires the Stomp. Head to the area in the Main Area with the Mt. Othrys Warp and stomp the lone switch in that area. This collapses a section of the walkway to allow Rygar to get the drop on Persephone. Use the walkway above the stomp switch to get to the statue. Persephone allows Rygar to grab and throw an enemy instead of going through any twirling motion before hand. Hard and fast - just how Persephone likes it. Huhuhuhu.
Hermes, Messenger of the Gods - Imparts the Dash. Motion is L1 + X
Any difficulty. In the Main Field. You will need the Lift/Swing skill. Head to the area of the Main Field that has the Warp to Labyrinthos. There is a side path that leads to the statue, but is not visible on the screen at first. The entrance will be to the left of the stairs by the save point. It's best to simply follow the wall to the left and attempt head away from the camera to find that side path. Once you find the side path, you will need to swing across and then make several small jumps to Hermes. Hermes allows Rygar to dash. Whether teh dash is more useful than the slide is debatable, but it allows Rygar to dash over the lava streams on Mt. Othrys without taking damage.
Zephyrus, the West Wind - Invincible while jumping
Normal difficulty. Random enemy drop. Zephyrus renders Rygar completely immune to harm while he is ascending from a jump, but not as he is falling. If Rygar is falling from a higher ledge to a lower ledge, he will not be invincible either. Couple this with Notus to be mostly invincible in mid-air.
Boreas, the North Wind - Invincible while tackling
Any difficulty. In Arcadia. The third demonstration sequence in the game gives you an idea of where this stone is. In Arcadia, after earning tackle, head to the same general area that has a metal "tackle" box at the dead end with a rock hanging over it. Tackle the metal box and jump on it. Use the red latch orb to ride the giant rock. Stay on the giant rock until it reaches its apex, then jump off to the up and right. Swing with a Diskarmour when Rygar is in front of the "dark patch" on the mountain. Swing onto the rock debris and then head away from the camera when you land. The stone is in the statue on the secret ledge. Boreas renders Rygar invincible while tackling.
Notus, the South Wind - Invincible while stomping
Any difficulty. In Arcadia. At the first set of ferris wheel rock platforms, ignore obvious landing at the apex of the ferris wheel ride and stay on the rock until you reach another set of motionless rock platforms. The stone is in a statue on the island nearby. You can get there later, but do it this way to skip the detour. Notus makes Rygar invincible in the first half of the Stomp motion (going down). You may want to combine Notus and Zephyrus to make Rygar invulnerable 80% of the time while airborne.
Fourth Row
Eurus, the East Wind - Invincible while sliding
Hard difficulty. Random enemy drop. Eurus renders Rygar invincible while sliding, but only from certain attacks. Lava will also not affect Rygar if he slides over it. When Rygar starts getting out of the slide, he will be vulnerable. Gold sparks emitted while sliding will indicate whether you have Eurus equipped or not.
Clotho, the Fate Who Weaves - Doubles the Icol collected
Any difficulty. In Mt. Othrys. Above the warp leading to the Main Field, there is a portion of the mini-map you can't reach. Use the Hades Diskarmour to snap throw a fire roller at the column across the gap to make the connection. The stone is in the statue over there. Clotho allows Rygar to gain double the Icol from the Pneuma power-up, as well as gain double the normal amount of Icol from killing enemies.
Lachesis, the Fate Who Measures - Increases Icol for familiar summons
Legendary difficulty. In the Necromandio Cave, level 25. Lachesis reduces the Icol needed for summoning familiars by one level. If a level 1 Diskarmour has Lachesis' aid, it will only cost 30 Icol to summon the familiar instead of 40. At level 3, Lachesis gives a Diskarmour six one-level summons instead of five.
Atropos, the Fate Who Cuts - Barter Life for Icol. Motion is L1 + Triangle
Normal difficulty. Random enemy drop. Atropos allows Rygar to use his life to restock his Icol. Useful if you have life to spare and you need the Icol to kill a hammer wielding Cyclops. When combined with Hypnos, you will be able to fully prepare yourself for any battle. 24 Icol is gained for every 48 life used in this manner.
Nike, Goddess of Victory - Imparts guard cancel. Motion is Square while guarding
Any difficulty. In Mt. Othrys. You will need the Stomp. Head to Mt. Othrys from the warp in the Main Field and go to the save point by the elevator from Labyrinthos. Stomp the switch for Nike.
Fifth Row
Nemesis, God of Vengeance - Imparts knockback cancel. Motion is Square while knocked back
Any difficulty. World 4, Labyrinthos. In the same courtyard area as the Athena and Ares stones, past the beach entrance. Attack the grating on the east side of the courtyard, then the crumbling wall past the grating for the statue.
Eirene, Goddess of Peace - Halves damage dealt from and received by Rygar
Legendary difficulty; no exceptions. In the Palace of the Three Knights. Where Hestia was on Easy, Eirene is on Legendary. Get her after the fight with the Boss Sphinx. Eirene reduces the damage dealt by everyone; Rygar and enemies will experience longer fights as long as she is equipped. You may want to equip Eirene when you are dodging a Boss' attacks, then getting de-equip her just before you initiate your own attack.
Hypnos, God of Dreams - Imparts rest. Motion is controller idle for 10 full seconds
Normal difficulty; no exceptions. On level 25 of the Necromondio Cave. Hypnos fully guarantees Rygar will always be at full life provided he has a place to rest. True, your clear time will be butt ugly, but you will have no excuse to face any boss with less than full life once you have this stone. Hypnos regenerates 10 life for each segment of time you let Rygar rest.
Tanatos, God of Death - Imparts chance for critical hit
Any difficulty. In World 4, Labyrinthos, the left tower's second floor. Find the stone near the rubble by the save point. Rygar may now have a slim chance of reducing an enemy's life points to very low with any Diskarmour move. The screen will flash white when Tanatos works its magic. Tanatos does not work against Bosses. If it did, you wouldn't need this guide.
Morpheus, God of Slumber - Imparts rest. Motion is controller idle for 10 full seconds
Hard difficulty. Necromondio Cave's infamous level 25. This stone lets Rygar recover Icol while resting. Use in conjunction with Hypnos (although Atropos is a good substitute) and you can pass any world in the game provided you find a spot to rest before you jump into things.

What Is Home Equity?
One of the easiest and most affordable methods of accessing money is through the equity that you have built in your home over time. This is an option that many people choose to take and is a great idea when you have a fantastic first mortgage in place.
It's no secret that owning a home is one of the best investments a person can make in Canada. While there are several reasons why someone may purchase a home, whether it be to have the stability of owning or using it as an investment method, homeownership is one way in which Canadians can turn a profit.
In recent years, the number of people who have refinanced their homes, withdrawn equity for home renovations, school expenses and debt consolidation have risen. The fact is that an increasing number of people are using their home equity to pay expenses.
No longer are homes seen solely as a safety shelter but are now also viewed as a means of opportunity to further invest and contribute to paying expenses.
How You Can Use Home Equity To Your Advantage
With that being said, withdrawing equity from one's home can still be a great idea. If you're going to take out home equity, it's important to move forward with caution in order to fully comprehend the pros and cons of doing so.
Consulting a qualified mortgage broker Edmonton like myself is one of the best things you can do for yourself to ensure you are set up for success. I will discuss the opportunities available to you so that we can make your home's equity work the right way for you.

LGBT Resources
For Clinicians and Clients
Why learn about LGBT issues as a professional counselor?
Professional counselors strive to be culturally competent providers of exceptional mental health care. One component of understanding your client's world view and individual culture is being aware of the importance of gender and sexual identity in everyday life. Great strides are being made in equality for LGBTQ individuals today, but many still struggle with the effects of stigma and prejudice; issues that often arise over the course of counseling and therapy. Like many other minority and marginalized groups, the journey of identify synthesis for LGBTQ people differs from that of the over-arching hetero-normative culture. There are several theoretical underpinnings that support gay, lesbian, trans, and queer identity development. I personally have conducted research in the past on gay and queer identity development. In an excerpt from prior research on this topic I discuss a few of the issues you might encounter as a clinician:
"Vivienne Cass's Homosexuality Identity Formation model is one that outlines specific stages in the integration of gay sexual identity in to one's overall identity, including confusion, comparison, tolerance, acceptance, pride and synthesis (Kraus, 2008; Levy, 2009). While this model has been widely used and accepted to understand gay identity, there is current discourse within the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community to move away from linear stage models. Proponents of queer theory suggest that stage models only accommodate the two binary/polar categories of heterosexual and homosexual and that the journey towards sexual identity formation is not always linear for every individual (Levy, 2009). Queer theorists also believe that identity formation and integration have the ability to co-occur, which is not possible from the linear stage model assumption (Hunter, Rosario & Schrimshaw, 2011). In addition, queer theorists feel that stage models suggest that if an individual does not progress in a step by step fashion through the end stages, that the individual is dysfunctional or not fully developed (Levy, 2009). In the current social context in which there are a multitude of sexual identities rather than the two dichotomous ones at either end of the heterosexual-homosexual continuum, we have to remember that not every all LGBTQ individual needs counseling or is unable to synthesize a congruent sexual identity." -Stephanie Mager, 2014

From flu shots to gallons and gallons of hand sanitizers, the cold and flu season leaves you flustered and in search of just about any preventative measures you can think of to stave off feeling sick.
Some may call that approach anal retentive or overly proactive, but these probably are the same people ranting and raving from bed, surprised that they're sick.
So what is the happy medium when it comes to conquering sickness during the peak time? Isolating yourself at home through the spring isn't exactly a practical notion, nor is ignoring blatantly coming into contact with a sick person.
As far as the flu goes, nothing is full proof, but a flu shot certainly seems like a fantastic place to start. The vaccination is incredibly effective despite rumors that run rampant that a flu shot actually increases your odds of getting the flu.
Recent studies from Walgreens Flu Impact Report noted that nearly 50% of those who had the flu last season missed some sort of activity or event as a result. The flu is more than just tossing aside sick days from work but also can translate into a school play that you're forced to miss or holiday shopping that has you on the sidelines.

This is an update to the prior blog post discussing the potential deletion of Player Theories.
The forum thread dealing with the deletion of player theories has been open for discussion for several weeks. In that time, there has been no major outpouring of support for keeping the theories. However, there was a suggestion that was ultimately approved of, which would result in the creation of a forum specifically for player theories.
A few changes are being adopted as a result of that discussion. One, currently-existing player theories pages will be locked down and temporarily archived. This is done to allow any authors who have written theories to relocate them from those pages. After a few weeks, these old theories pages may be deleted. If you do not think the old pages should be deleted, please go here and speak up.
Second, a brand-new forum for player theories has been created - Forum:Player theories. The new forum focuses on discussion of individual theories, rather than simply listing them out on a page. There will be an explanation thread written shortly which will explain how the new forum functions. The forum itself is open right now, so go ahead and contribute!
As always, pay attention to the community discussions forum and the weekly news blogs for any updates on the Player Theories issue.

Here is a great pic for comparison.
Many circus trainers have had polar bears killed by big cats, but I am not sure what was the sizes of the bears.
Louis Roth stated that Polar Bears generally dominate the big cats, but he did have a lion kill a polar bear. The specifics were not revealed. When speaking of the fighting prowess, he says Polar bears tend to use their mouths more than grizzlies, which might have something to do with them being the only purely carnivorous bear. Also why they have sharper claws and fangs than other bears.
Here a tiger takes on a much larger bear and wins, also defeated a orangutang and wolf before fighting the bear
and one for the lion as well
So obviously the big cat can and has defeated the Polar bear before. That being said, take a look at the two big beasts above and let me know who you pick. For the sake of argument, assume that the liger has the same fighting prowess as a tiger or lion, even though I am aware of them being genetically deformed for the most part and seem to be a pathetic excuse for their real wild counterpart.
Ill go with a large polar bear 6 out of 10 times. Close match but I will give the advantage to the massive bear.

Be specific also do you girls like us with longer hair or not?And describe what you like about us physically and emotionally
Most Helpful Girl
Oh, how I loooove white guys.
I love their eyes...they just seem so intense but curious at the same time. No offense to black guys, but most white guys treat women MUCH better than black guys. White guys are just so much fun, and I just feel like if I wanted to do something outlandish, he'd be down to do it and have my back 100%. Like, maybe it's just because I'm a black girl and they think I'm gonna go off on them if they're not nice, but they make me feel really good about myself...MUCH more than any black guy I've ran into. And they don't play stupid little games...they'll tell you how they honestly feel. Don't get me wrong, I love black guys too...but there's just SOMETHING about white (and Samoan) guys that is just ridiculously sexy to me, and I can't help it.
But to help you, just be yourself...and don't try and play to her being black. Ignore it, if you can. NOTHING irritates a black girl going out with a white guy more than when he's trying to be overly P.C. and plays to her being black.42|20|0
Thanks for all those nice compliments. What do you mean, overly PC? I think I have an idea, but I'd like to hear it straight from you.
Hmm...like I guess in my mind being "overly PC" and "playing to her being black" are one in the same for me.
Instead of saying what you really want to say, you substitute it for "black slang" or when you're obviously trying not to offend her....
Whether you use "african-american" wayyy too much for one conversation (its ok to say "black"...most of us don't care), constantly bring up black figures (i.e. Obama, MLK...you get it), or just asking "why do black people....?"
Like, it's fine to bring up some questions or conversations on race, but don't make it the main subject of your time together, you know?
Just be yourself...trust me, if she's going out with a white guy, race will probably be the last thing she want to talk about 99.9% of the time.....
Remember: she's going out with YOU!! Don't try and change yourself/ be somebody else since she's already agreed to go out with you, cause obviously she likes you for you, not you trying to be someone else.

Jon Stewart devoted his entire show to the subject of gun control on Tuesday.
The Comedy Central host said, "Finally, everyone from the NRA to the Marin County Kumbaya Patrol, is ready to talk about gun violence–although, to be fair, the Kumbaya Patrol has been ready for quite time now."
In a lengthy 20-minute segment Stewartexplained why the U.S. needs to stop dancing around the issue of gun control. To Stewart, the root of the problem is Americans being afraid the government will take away their firearms, noting Alex Jones' epic pro-gun rant. "Now I see what's happening," Stewart said. "So this is what it is. Their paranoid fear of a possible dystopic future prevents us from addressing our actual dystopic present."
The Comedy Central host also took on the idea that violent video games and movies are a major source of the problem. After featuring multiple shots of gun control opponents saying "it's not the time to talk", "gun control doesn't work." Stewart made an emotional plea for a unified, non-partisan pledge to ending bloodbaths like the ones in Newtown and Aurora.
Watch part 1 and 2 of the segment below.

TAXI TORMENT I: Arunava Dutta, a Tollygunge resident, arrived at Sealdah station at 10.30 pm from Barrackpore with his wife, Putul, and children Sanjukta and Tutul. When he tried to hail a cab, he was accosted by a taxi driver who demanded Rs 450. The normal fare would not cross Rs 150 by the meter. As an argument broke out, Dutta found himself encircled by a crowd of cabbies. He beat a retreat, and was forced to haul family and luggage way beyond the station premises to call a cab.
TAXI TORMENT II: Rudranil Das arrived at Sealdah station at 10.40 pm from Rampurhat with younger brother Subhranil. The cabbies demanded an outrageous Rs 250 to drop them off at Burrabazar, five times more than the normal fare. Jabo na, dada (We wont go), was the stubborn reply when the brothers demanded to be taken by the meter.
Sealdah, the largest junction of passenger trains under the Eastern Railway, turns into a nightmare for passengers touching down at night.
Despite the presence of the government railway police (GRP) posted on the premises, and the close proximity to Entally and Muchipara police stations, an organised gang runs an extortion, illicit liquor, drugs and sex racket from sleaze station.
The stamp of the crime lords is most evident at the taxi stand after 10 pm, where hundreds of passengers are soft targets for the crooked cabbies. This has become a regular feature here, and there is no one to help us, lamented Dutta, a recent victim.
Some taxi drivers revealed how the two GRP booths located at the taxi stand amounted to nothing.
At best, they keep an eye on the traffic till 10 pm, after which they disappear. They make a token appearance once in a while, said Sheikh Ali Hossain, a taxi driver outside the railway station.
We have not received any complaints till date. When we do, we will take stern action against the culprits, asserted a GRP official.
Sealdah, of course, has no pre-paid taxi booth, and the cabbies, inspired by criminals operating from the premises, are busy fleecing passengers in the dark.
Passengers have to queue up at the taxi stand and are allotted cabs by the local goons. Between the platforms and the taxi stand, an army of touts ambushes prospective passengers, dissuading them from waiting in line.
After 10 pm, sex workers and drug peddlers stalk the Sealdah taxi stand. Cabs provide cover on wheels for Rs 200.
A few months ago, Metro had highlighted the taxi trauma undergone by passengers at Howrah Station after the pre-paid taxi booth would down shutters at 10 pm.
Now, the cab counter is kept open all night and the GRP has sharpened its vigil to good effect.
But at 16-platform Sealdah, theres no visible way out of the passenger peril at night.
Police, of course, promise action. Nazrul Islam, inspector-general (rail), said he would look into the matter, take stern action against the criminals and urge the taxi associations to help clean up the mess.

Question: A study of the investment industry claims that 58 of
A study of the investment industry claims that 58% of all mutual funds outperformed the stock market as a whole last year. An analyst wants to test this claim and obtains a random sample of 250 mutual funds. The analyst finds that only 123 of the funds outperformed the market during the year. Determine the probability that another random sample would lead to a sample proportion as low as or lower than the one obtained by the analyst, assuming the proportion of all mutual funds that outperformed the market is indeed 0.58.

Encounters between Asia and the Nordic countries/Europe, gender, non-governmenta
Emilija has recently defended her PhD dissertation entitled 'Living with Others: Subjectivity, Relatedness and Health among Urban Poor in Delhi" at the University of Copenhagen, Centre for Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies.
Based on a long-term fieldwork among urban poor, formal and informal medical practitioners and at a governmental health clinic dedicated for the poor, the study provides ethnography of everyday lives of the poor and their complex healthcare ecologies in an informal settlement. By taking everyday life as a vantage point to study illness and healthcare encounters, the study explores the effects of kin and neighbourly relatedness in women's health choices and illness experiences.

Hi, I am currently doing a research on Polycom and realized that Tandberg has been gaining marketshare over Polycom. However, when I talk with resellers and end-users, I found the end users of Polycom to be very sticky.
From customers perspective, the products seem to be neck to neck but then my question is what explains the market share gain for Tandberg and whether that will continue.
Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Even if Polycom's customers are sticky, which I believe as their products are solid, the market is growing rapidly and Tandberg may be doing a much better job of selling to new customers rather than converting old customers.

Thank you very much. It was helpful.

You bet. There was a lot of information in there, but this popped out at me...
"Apart from Microsoft, Polycom also has strategic partnerships with Cisco and IBM. Tandberg also has strategic alliances with Cisco, and Microsoft as well as a very strong partnership with HP. Polycom could prove to be a worthy acquisition target for any of these giants. Of these, Cisco and HP have a strong focus on the telepresence market. Cisco could benefit from Polycom's focus on the SME market, in which it doesn't have any offerings."
May 11, 2009 at 10:54 UTC
Polycom doen't have good products. I've suffered with them for years until recently. They are much better at providing hardware to other vendors to write the firmware/software for (i.e. Shoretel phones).
Tandberg is an established player with a superior user interface and design.
Since Lifesize entered the market and started taking business from both, I think Tandberg simply has done a better job of responding rather than puffing out it's chest like Polycom seems to have done.
As a Lifesize user, we find no issues connecting to Tandberg equipment (except their continued use of the old, tired H.323 codec) where as connecting to a Polycom is almost always problematic.
Is Tandberg still on the high-end of price? It seems to me that at one time they had priced themselves out of an emerging SMB market that they could have very easily dominated in.

We got our Tandberg Edge 95's for $10K each. That included mutisite, natural presenter (screen sharing) and 1yr renewable maintinance. They were 1/2 off at the end of the year for the demo gear of the same thing. They easily paid for them selves in 1yr for us.

Wow! That's really inexpensive for Tandberg. Nicely done!
