Even with a lower price, the quality is the same. We were even able to port our number over. This has been awesome for us since we live in South Korea. It is so easy to stay in touch with family and friends back home.
If you're hesitating, just buy it!
so if I wanted to call my daughter in South Korea it would be the same?

Why are some of you people (not you necessarily!) on the OOMA thread trying to "sell" obi? If you have something to say about OOMA...then say it, otherwise stop trying to "sell" another product!!
With that said, We are an original ooma user and got in before any monthly fee's. We were hesitant at first, but there hasn't been a day gone by that we didn't love our ooma. The call quality is better than our landline, we have the cordless phones with more than one handset so we keep those all over the place, and we use google on top of it.
We fax regularly and it works like a charm (*99 please!). I was concerned about setup which turned out to be easy, even though we have a wireless fax machine, a router hard drive, and multiple other connections all going through ooma.
I would suggest if you are on the fence, go for it.....you will NOT be disappointed!!

I am not sure if I can hook a normal cordless phone into the router with SKYPE or with this?... that is important. The husband needs to be able to pick up and dial a 'normal' phone. SKYPE thru the Verizon cell phone is the worst thing I have ever tried. Alexander Graham would turn over for the awfulness!!
No promises about Skype's quality, but the fact that you can do video chatting might be an advantage. It's a great way to see the granddaughter grow up.
I love the role reversal in your family. Husbands are usually the techies while wives are often technophobes. You're clearly the techie in the family while he's a Luddite. Kinda reminds me of me and my ex. She was a sports fanatic while I loved chickflicks. And I won't even get into the fact that she loved guy-on-guy erotica while I blushed at a stripshow... Anyway...
Ooma is PERFECT for your husband because it operates transparently. You wouldn't even know that you're not on a landline. You can plug in any standard phone system, including cordless phones. In fact, you can plug in anything you'd plug into your landline, including fax machines and answering machines (some alarm systems may have problems though). The Ooma sits there like an answering machine. I don't know about this Telo, but the older Hub model even looks like an answering machine. It blinks when there are recorded messages, and there is a volume switch to screen calls. The buttons are large and easy to push.
Set up only took a few minutes. Account management can is accessed on the computer, which would naturally be done by you and not hubby.

With all due respect to your husband I can definitely see a cougar thing going on where you'll prey on your granddaughter's boyfriends. That being the case maybe it's best that you don't get video chatting!
villainsmitty wrote:Okay, here's a big question from a newbie. I have to have AT&T to get DSL so I guess i have to at least keep my basic service or pay for the dry DSL version. Assuming I keep my basic service, let's say I attach this to my router and phone, when I make a call, how does the phone differentiate between whether I'm calling long distance using Ooma or AT&T, or is everything through Ooma at that point?
Also, if I call a family member, will it show a new # I picked when setting up Ooma or my landline #? Will calls placed to me at both numbers still get answered through my Uniden answering machine?
I'm just wondering how both phone numbers work at the same time and when you call long distance, it knows to go through Ooma and not ripoff AT&T.
Thanks for any info.
You do not have to have a phone with AT&T to have DSL. You can just have DSL and NOT a phone (landline). It's really a mute point. I would suggest cancelling your landline with AT&T, keeping your INTERNET....and using ooma. You can also port your landline phone # to ooma and not even have to change your #.
You would need to ask AT&T for "naked" or "dry" DSL....that is DSL only, with no phone!!

Haha. I'd normally agree that's its rude but one of the best things about Woot culture is that they allow (and maybe even encourage) criticism about their products. And that criticism includes offering alternatives. In fact, I'd say that 30-40% of my Quality Posts are criticisms, with many of those containing links to competing products. You'll also see people linking to vendors which have lower prices. This is one reason Woot is my favorite shopping website. I know that I'll be getting uncensored honest information. It's even less restrictive than its parent company, Amazon. They censor prices in postings while Woot doesn't.

Yes, I agree with you...but it seems that some people are completely "confused" about how ooma/obi/google voice etc. actually works. Just hoping we can try not to confuse some of them even more...ya know what I'm saying?!?!
bibbly76 wrote:so if I wanted to call my daughter in South Korea it would be the same?
If she has a regular Korean phone, you'd call like you would call any S Korean phone number. If she has an Ooma, then she'd have an American phone number, and you'd call like you would call any American number. Either way, you'll be calling like you would normally call. The only difference is whether you'd be dialing a S Korean number or an American number.
In terms of cost, if she has an Ooma, you;d be calling a US number so the call is free. If she has a Korean landline or cellphone, then you'd be charge Ooma's long distance rates, which depend on which of the 3 plans you choose. Click here to see the international rates. Select S. Korea.

I had to teach the hubby football, baseball and hockey. On tv of course, I don't have the stamina to actually play anymore. He did not know how to use cell phone voicemail until I got pissed off about his phone ringing and ringing when he could not answer it - so I just set up voicemail on his account and when he came home and bi!*ched about his not knowing why his cell would not stop beeping at him, I gave him an index card on how to use his voicemail. I am just teaching him the joys of texting!!
I build computers. I hooked up the stereo and DTV equipment. I built the network. He doesn't know how to work the DVR and barely the remote control.
He's an analogue guy in a digital world... and he is romantic and adorable and hard working and honest and a good provider and loyal and dedicated and a great father/grandfather and a wonderful husband ... all of it. and he kicks a** at mopping floors. :p
Anyway, you sold me on this. I am in for one!

Confused .... that's me. Although I'm a techie and am posting a lot about Ooma, I'm completely ignorant about Internet voice technologies. Obi scares me and I still don;t know what Google Voice is. Nor have I ever used Skype, and I've never Chatted. So yeah, I can definitely see how all the extra info can confuse and scare people. That said, Ooma seems like easiest choice for non-teletechies like me.

oopsz wrote:I have the older Ooma model (the Hub). It's an outstanding piece of kit. I basically just had to plug it in, activate online, and approve the port request from AT&T. Monthly cost is less than paying for call waiting from the phone company.
Extremely high wife-acceptance-factor, to boot. She loves the voice quality and that she can easily check voicemails from her iphone.
Faxing is a little flaky (it's hit or miss, and I can't figure out why). Other than that, no complaints.
I had some faxing issues, too. I tweaked the QOS settings a bit and it seems to be reliable now. Go to setup.ooma.com in your browser and check out the advanced settings.
I hate this thing, bought it at the last woot off. It calls their support dept fine but wont make or receive any other calls. I've googled it, made multiple emails and calls to support. My 1st vacation day is Monday and guess what I'll be doing? YEP, calling customer service AGAIN. Plus I'm paying $3.50 a month for NOTHING.
Bought this and spent 8-10 hours trying to get it work with our AT&T DSL ubiquitous 2Wire combination modem router (2wire model 2701HG-B). 2Wire tech support was of no help. Upon further internet research found that this device does not like many of the combination modem routers. Had to return the Ooma after a wasted day of trying to get it to work. Suggest you Google you modem/router + Ooma before purchasing.
1) You don't need to keep your full AT&T service if you no longer plan on using their telephone features. Call AT&T and ask for "Naked DSL." That's where you're leasing their lines just for DSL data. The voice line will be dead, i.e. there'll be no dial tone. If the AT&T rep doesn't know what you're talking about, ask for a supervisor. Naked DSL is not something most phone companies advertise because they end up losing voice subscribers. Also threaten to change services if they don't offer you Naked DSL. You should also search for "Naked DSL AT&T" on the Internet.
2) If you go though AT&T's landline, your voice is transmitted as an analog signal. If you go through the Internet, your voice is converted to a bunch of digital blips first (sounding like a fax machine), and then converted back to voice at some central location before it reaches the other person. If you look at your RJ11 phone jack, you'll see 4 (or 6) colored wires. Only 2 are used for voice. The other two are normally unused -- unless you have DSL. The DSL digital signals travel through these unused wires. And that's how AT&T will know if you're calling through a normal landline or through the Internet (i.e. Ooma). Actually, the only thing it'll know is whether it's a landline call, in which case it'll charge you. A call through the Internet isn't really differentiated by AT&T from any other digital data. For example, it couldn't care less whether the data is carrying a YouTube video or iTunes music or an Ooma call.
So the short answer to your question is that a normal landline call is detected through the two analog voice wires. Internet calls, like all Internet data, travels through two different wires.
3) If you use an Ooma, you'll be given a new number based on some criteria you choose, i.e. area code. Or you can port over your landline number, just as you can bring your landline number over to a cellphone. I believe the fee is $40.
Your Uniden answering machine will answer whatever line it's connected to. The back of the Ooma has a regular RJ11 phone jack where you plug in your telephone equipment. Anything that you had plugged into your wall jack can now be plugged into the Ooma. So if your Uniden is plugged into the Ooma, it will answer all calls made to the Ooma.
Keep in mind that there is no connection between your landline and Ooma except that they sort of share the same wiring infrastructure. You can keep your landline with Ooma (in which case, you'll have two numbers), or close your landline account (but make sure not to do so until you've transferred your number over, if you want to keep it).
Bottomline: Close your landline account and all your calls will be made through the Internet.

I got this the last time it was on WOOT and have been very happy with it. Pay $3.16 in taxes a month and have the premium service. Voice quality is even better than Vonage which I had before and was getting as expensive as the land line I replaced with Vonage.
I have a prepaid cell which cost me $1 every day it is used and 10 cents a minute so I turn it off when I'm at home. Cost me nothing if I don't use it.
This also replaced my answering machine and works better. My only ocmplaint is it doesn't do 10 digit dialing which we've had to dial the area code in Phoenix for years as there are three in the city. On the Omma it beeps a busy signal if you dial the area code which usually drives me nuts until I remember why. I also bought the handset, the battery life sucks on it, has to be charged every few days. You don't need the handset.
Buy this and get rid of your land line, you won't regret it.
Oh, I've moved and will be moving again, one nice feature of VOIP is you don't have to hassle with the phone compnay, just move the box to your new place and tell them where you live for the 911, you keep the same number and your all done. No fees to move your service. Unlike the water company who is charging me a small fortune to turn on the water at the new place... I think the electric company said $20, the water company said something like $80..

Considering I saw one of the first Ramone's performances, I really laughed at that.
You post was very much appreciated. Very funny.
Ooma is awesome. I pay $3.50 per month for my service and I have converted 2 family members already. Consumer Reports recently rated Ooma as the #1 home phone service provider over the big names like AT&T and Verizon. At $140 this is a steal, savings of about $60 from other online retailers and my refurb unit has worked as new. Do it!
PDubs wrote:Any other comments regarding the faxing capabilities? Would love to be able to hook up our all-in-one and be able to fax.
Got one on last Woot and love it - was not able to get fax to work with the service so kept a minimal service land-line for faxing (and emergency phone use if power / internet is down)
I've been using Ooma at home for about a year and a half now with my Comcast/Xfinity cable modem and have no regrets making the switch. I paid $299 for mine. At this price it'll pay for itself in no time.
I do have dropped calls every once in a while but that is rare. For roughly $1 a month (you still have to pay the phone taxes annually), I'll take a dropped call every once in a while. Also, every couple months I usually need to reboot the Ooma system (simple power cycle).
I was also able to port my old home number (I think that's about a $40 fee to do that though).
Also, you'll need an available router port.
But I'm very happy I made the switch and highly recommend it.
I switched from Vonage to Ooma on a past Woot sale. I actually have Ooma installed at two different locations. The voice quality improved dramatically. My only regret is that Ooma's basic service (free calls plus $3.50/month in taxes) does NOT include the feature that sends you audio recordings of voicemail messages by e-mail. You get e-mail notifications when someone leaves voicemail, but you have to log in to actually listen to the message. (you can log in via your phone or via a web browser)
That feature was included by default on Vonage. I can get that with Ooma Premier, but that adds $10/month, and obviously I'm too much of a cheapskate.
There, I said it: I'm a cheapskate. Which is why I love Ooma. And Woot. And maybe you, if you're a cheapskate too.
I bought the hub model over a year ago when sellout.woot had it advertised form Radio Shack with a 15% off coupon.
My setup:
Cable Modem runs consistently at 6MB down/2MB up.
Router plugged into cable modem, ooma hub, PC, office VoIP phone plugged into router, at last count, 11 wireless devices connected of which, 3 or 4 are used at a time max.
With all of this going on, the only time I have had a call quality issue, is when I was uploading a huge (10 MB) file while on a call. Call clarity for me was still crystal clear, but the caller said my voice was choppy and unclear.
You have a couple of choices to counter this. First, plug the ooma box in in front of your router. You can then set up voice prioritization in the device. That did not work for me because my second voice device would not work when set up that way. Second, just monitor your other data usage as you talk. (obviously) If you don't go over your bandwidth limits, you should be good.
I was able to port my existing Frontier number to ooma with no problem. I think it cost me $30 to get the number moved. Just keep in mind, that with many VoIP companies (not sure about ooma) porting your out is usually not as easy as getting it ported in.
The call clarity has been great for me and I am on the grandfathered plan where I pay $0. Assunig ooma stays in business, I will stay with them for sure.
edit: Adding info about number porting.
I am no expert in this field. But it looks like the Obihai OBi110 does a similar thing for less
It's selling for about $50 at amazon.
I purchased this a few weeks ago and can't notice any difference from vonage, which it replaced. I even ported the number over with no issues. The ONLY difference is much much lower monthly bill and Ooma's musical dial tone.
anyone know why when I try to order it says I've been banned?
Does anyone use this with DirecTV/DVR service where your DVR has to be connected to a phone line to work? That is my concern with switching to VOIP, I don't want to screw up my Sunday Ticket or DVR service.
We also have a daughter who lives in the UK. We purchased a magic jack, registered it here in our town with a local number. We then took it over to her, she plugs it in to her computer in the UK, and has a local US number. All calls, incoming and outgoing to the US and Canada are free. If the Magic jack is not plugged in when someone calls it goes to voice mail. Magic jack then sends an e-mail to the selected e-mail account, where you can listen to the voice mail via M wave, or plug in the Magic jack and listen as usual
We also took a small corded phone to her with the magic jack.
I work from home and had a Vonage unit for some time, to use as my work number. I was disappointed by the poor audio quality, including a really annoying half-duplex effect.
Replaced it with an Ooma unit, and haven't looked back. At first I was having some troubles with the unit going into its "seeking Internet" mode or whatever it is; the Ooma logo on top of the unit would flash and I wouldn't get a dial tone. After following all the various troubleshooting methods I could find, I decided to move the Ooma behind my router, instead of between my router and my modem. No more problems with disconnection, and the audio quality got even better, to the point where it's indistinguishable from a land line.
I ditched my home landline and now have two Ooma units working beautifully behind my router. They paid for themselves a long time ago. For my home Ooma, I chose a number that is local to my family's town so they wouldn't have to pay long distance when they call me. :-)
The only issue I have with the Ooma units is that after a power hit, they stay in that flashing red, no-dial-tone mode. I have to reboot my modem in order to get them to come back online, not sure why. No biggie.
I use a Verizon broadband aircard for my internet, will Ooma work okay with this???
Forgive the novice questions:
I'm thinking about this mainly so I can drop my current international plan. I think I would likely keep my land line. Can I have the same number attached to the Ooma? And does anyone have thoughts on Ooma's international service and options? Also, my current phone/cable system is Verizon FIOS Digital, is that going to be more complicated?
We replaced our less-used Vonage line with a refurbed Oooma Telo from a previous Woot. When that worked perfectly, we did the same for our primary home number (splurged for Premier Service on the primary because of a few features, like the second line).
We now pay $17 a month for all our home phone service -- versus the $70+ we were forking over to Vonage.
The best thing I can say is that it's so transparent -- and high quality -- that I never even stop to think about whether our service is coming from Ooma, Vonage, or the Telco.
I was a beta tester of the original ooma hub and have been using it for 4 years. It has operated almost flawlessly and I have been incredibly satisified. My savings for this period is beyond belief. Moving over to the ooma hub is a no brainer................
Has anyone had any experience using it with home security systems?
Everytime this shows up, I am tempted. The reason I always pass is my cable goes out with amazing regularity. Thus, no phone service if we drop the land line since cell phones are also weak.
Since we need the phone for many reasons, dropping the land line is not an option. If we made a ton of overseas calls, I would get one in a heartbeat but barring that, I pass until cable gets more reliable. Hope Ooma is still around by then.

My daughter and grandchildren live in the UK, we in the USA. We tried Skype and it was awful. *AWFUL* We looked at Vonage and it would have cost us almost as much as having the land line.
My husband is pissed off bcuz he cannot call our kids or grandkids in the UK...
Will someone please tell me how this will work for me and why I want this one?
I would really appreciate it.
thank you!!
Well, for starters, after purchasing the Telo, you will pay $3.50 a month, not $40. Ooma will assign you a new telephone number and if you're careful about whom you let have it, telemarketing calls won't be a problem. I know this from personal experience: I was plagued by them in both English and Spanish. I switched to Ooma, got a Google Voice number, which I hand out to non-friends and family, and the problem was gone.
As someone mentioned earlier, you can buy 1000 international minutes from Ooms for $10, so your total bill will be less than $14 a month. The sound quality will be Skype to a pulp and your husband will no longer be cranky. Win-win-win.
They sure seem to have a lot of refurbished base units to sell. How do they fail?
dakeasy wrote:Fellow Wooters: I bought this Ooma Telo refurbished back in January 2011 from Woot. It lasted 5 or 6 months and died. BUYER be warned!
Same here.. Dead..
Support was atrocious to say the least.. After a MONTH going back and forth with them they finally replaced it.
If you want this thing to work with your land line though, be prepared for disappointment. The only reason I still have it hooked up is because I paid for a year of premier. It'll be chucked after that's up.. If the hardware makes it that long.
This is an unnecessary piece of equipment if you have a PC. I have a Magic Jack and it is as clear as can be, $20 a year, free LD, VM, 411 etc. It still works when the PC is in power-save.
If you tried MJ and it was "choppy", "dropping calls" etc - that is your PCs issue, you've got an old PC or too much running in the back ground.
I got this on the last Woot and have it hooked up to my all in one with no problems faxing at all. Also, just switched routers to Apple Time Capsule, works fine with Mac for those that may want to know.
I have bought this version and the older version. Although promising, not nearly as hassle free as Vonage. Call quality was excellent and it worked fine most all the time. But I wanted it to work fine ALL the time. Customer service is not 24/7 and often offered to call you back. Great device, great price, just not worry free with 100% up time.

Jenny-My GSD Puppy
1 Attachment(s)
*sorry for the length, I didn't realize it was this long*
Hello all, this is in stories because it's about when I got her and how I've been a better home than owner #1..
When we first saw her she was so small for only 7 weeks old and her ears were all floppy. She had that puppy face that just made you melt in your shoes. Owner #1 told us we could have her for $550 but anyone else he'd make a bogus price. His two year old son would pull Jenny's ears and grab her extra skin and just squeeze until she squealed. So, we went and picked her up, gave the guy $160 and he said it was fine and to just get her out of there.
We brought her home and immediately checked for fleas, cuts/scratches or infections anywhere because she lived outside her whole life with no bath. She had nothing, so we bathed her and dried her off then weighed her; she was 10lbs exactly. Now, for 7 weeks we thought that was kind of small, and it didn't help that she would devour food like she was never fed. When the vet saw her for her first shots he said she was healthy and just needed a bit of weight.
I like to think we saved her, because she has a better life now than she would have.
A little about Jenny..
Well, she was nameless for about a week. Nothing stuck. So we thought of it and she looked when we said it, so her name was Jenny. She was mostly black when we got her, minimal red markings and big floppy ears. As she started growing, we noticed more red coming in and she's getting a white stripe from shoulder to shoulder and white flecks of hair on her back.
Her temperment is pretty awesome for a puppy. She isn't super hyper, she doesn't chew neuratically and she's very smart. It's easy to teach her tricks and she listens very well.
The only thing that's bugging me is not knowing what lines shes from.. her back is arched a bit, but she's not full grown either.
Here's a picture of her, you can't see the white stripe from shoulder to shoulder or white flecks, but it's the best one I have right now. She likes to lick the camera instead of getting her picture taken.

Good looking girl! Congratulations on rescuing Jenny
She's so well tempered. We thought we were going to have to teach her to get out of bad habits, but she's the best. Takes treats from my lips, gives kisses, amd when you ask "are you my baby?" She licks your face :) i love my little girl.
She look to have german lines as tend be leggy and she looks like she's long in the leg either way beautiful glad you got her out that situation

Too pessimistic?
Ridiculous to run up the white flag midway through January?
Maybe so. The Canadiens have 38 games left, and if the effort against Ottawa was any indication, they're going to battle in every one of them.
Carey Price won't quit. After another dispiriting shootout loss – he is 1-6, this season, beaten on 10 of 20 shots; and it's worse at the Bell Centre: 0-5, 7 goals on 11 shots – Price talked about "desperation mode."
"The only way is playing in playoff mode until the playoffs," Price added.
With this team, that's easier said than done.
By gaining a point for the shootout loss, the Canadiens have reached 40 on the season. A year ago, they hit that mark in Game 32, a 4-3 win over Boston on Dec. 16.
Shall I trot out the playoff math models again?
For fun this time, let's say 88 points will be enough for an Eastern Conference team to sneak into eighth place. So after getting 40 points from their first 44 games, the Canadiens will need 48 in 38.
I can't see it. But I'm a card-carrying pessimist, the legacy of my eastern European heritage. My ancestors slept lightly, knowing at any moment the Cossacks might come and set their village ablaze.
So even in the security and comfort of my suburban abode, I tend to hear hoofbeats.
But maybe it's Rene Bourque riding to the rescue. He's an Alberta Métis, so there must be brave horsemen in the family tree.
Perhaps Bourque will supplement the Canadiens' core group of true warriors: Price, Erik Cole, Josh Gorges, Tomas Plekanec, Travis Moen, Max Pacioretty, P.K. Subban, David Desharnais and Lars Eller.
Oh, and the Russian stud defenceman who sat in the pressbox so we could savour the blueline artistry of Hal Gill, Chris Campoli and Tomas Kaberle – the last of whom was used in the shootout, with Plekanec, Cole and Andrei Kostitsyn sitting on the bench.
I like Randy Cunneyworth. He's an honest, decent man who's universally respected by hockey people. He doesn't deserve the steaming pile of sewage he's endured in Montreal.
But the coach did not have a great night against the team he used to captain.
I didn't like sitting Emelin.
I didn't like using Kaberle in the shootout.
I didn't like Campoli getting almost as much ice time as Raphael Diaz.
For the first time since he took over from Jacques Martin four weeks ago, Cunneyworth complained about the officiating. He was particularly annoyed by losing a goal to the interference penalty on Andrei Kostitsyn (shown in Dave Sidaway's Gazette photo).
Cunneyworth also thought the Delay of Game call on Gorges was cheesy.
But the referees did not cause the Canadiens 28th loss of the season – 15 of which have come at the Bell Centre.
You can't pin the league's worst power-play on the zebras.
Or a popgun attack that's produced three goals in the last nine periods and an OT.
Or zone play that becomes a (ethnic slur deleted) fire drill under the kind of pressure St. Louis laid on for 60 minutes and Ottawa cranked up after Kyle Turris's goal brought them to life in a game the Canadiens were controlling nicely.
Price praised the Senators as "a hard-working team … when they have momentum, they're very good."
Ottawa has scored 66 third-period goals this season. The Canadiens have 36.
In games tied after two periods, the Senators are 8-1-4, the Canadiens 2-4-2.
Simply put, one team is clutch and the other isn't.
The team that handles late-game pressure is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
And the team that doesn't is 12th, with a dismal 16-20-8 record.
On Jan. 15, 2011, the Ottawa Senators were 17-22-6. They had 40 points, which is where the Canadiens are at today.
Fast forward 12 months.
Jason Spezza, Milan Michalek, Daniel F. Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar are healthy this season. Jared Cowan has been a revelation. Erik Karlsson is a star.
Paul MacLean is a relentlessly positive coach who's getting the most out of his players.
A year can make a huge difference in the NHL.
Ask Guy Boucher.
Maybe starting with the Rangers game, which he will watch from the bench Sunday night, the Canadiens will click into the playoff mode Carey Price talked about.
But if not, if the season continues its current down-the-dumper trajectory, take heart from what has happened in our great nation's capital.

Mike Cammalleri scored the Flames' only goal, on the power play, in their 4-1 loss to L.A.
His 15:22 of ToI included 2:40 on the PP.
Cammalleri had three SoG, went 2-1 on faceoffs, took a holding penalty and was minus-2.

50 Women To Watch in Hedge Funds
There's a fresh list of women to watch in the hedge fund world.
Ernst & Young (EY) and The Hedge Fund Journal released their 2013 list of 50 leading Women in Hedge Funds over champagne and canapes Thursday at the St. Regis Hotel in New York.
There are 33 new names on the list this year, and most are U.S. women. The only representative of the Europeans Thursday night was Elena Ambrosiadou, chairman and CEO of IKOS Asset Management. It is a hedge fund manager based in Limassol, Cyprus, with execution and research facilities in London, New York and Monaco. Considering it was only 1967 that the New York Stock Exchange had its first woman member, Barrons.com asked Ambrosiadou what she has learned about confidence working in a man's world.
"It's about taking risk and managing risk. You learn through your choices in life, with men and with women," Ambrosiadou said. "You have to manage your confidence."
Among those who made the list are women not just rising through the ranks of the world's biggest funds, but those blazing trails as entrepreneurs. Examples:
- Massi Khadjenouri, chief investment officer and cofounder of events-driven fund Kite Lake Capital Management in London. It has $100 million in assets under management. Before launching the fund, through 2008, she managed Cheyne Capital's special situation fund .
- Andrea Morrall, chief operating officer and c0-founder of event-investing group OVS Capital Management in London, established in early 2010. The firm has $300 million in assets.
- Kathleen M. Kelley, founder and chief investment officer of New York-based Queen Anne's Gate Capital Management, a discretionary global macro hedge fund with a commodity focus. It was launched in September 2012.
- Kathryn Hall, CEO and co-chief investment officer of San Francisco-based Hall Capital Partners, which she founded in 1994. It has $25 billion in assets, including $7 billion invested in hedge funds.
Among those representing some of the largest hedge fund players out there:
- Kristen Eshak Weldon, a managing director of the hedge fund solutions group at Blackstone Group International Partners. She is co-head of the group's London office. Blackstone Group's hedge fund assets were $48 billion at the end of the first quarter.
- Anne Dinning, managing director at D.E. Shaw Group in New York. She oversees energy, benchmark-relative equity, insurance and reinsurance and long/short equity investment activities. D.E. Shaw has $30 billion in investments and committed capital, including roughly $22 billion in alternative investments.
And while most of those listed are tied to New York or London, sovereign wealth funds are represented, and other foreign funds. Among them:
- Roslyn Zhang, managing director of fixed income and absolute return for the China Investment Corporation. Based in Beijing, she is the only representative of a BRIC country on the list.
- Shirin Ismail, head of funds of hedge funds, Fullerton Fund Management. Based in Singapore, the Asia-focused company is owned by Temasek Holdings, which manages $10 billion in assets.
The full list and profiles of hedge fund portfolio managers, lawyers, marketers and others to watch is here.
While women-run hedge funds have outperformed those shepherded by male counterparts, female-run hedge funds are a small minority of the industry, as we noted earlier this year in a post on a women, investing and hedge funds.
Ambrosiadou has made headlines in a legal row.

Cornish Hens with Orange Glaze RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1
When I make these succulent stuffed Cornish hens, my husband's only complaint is that he gets full before he's ready to quit eating!
Recommended: 16 Impressive Christmas Dinner Ideas
- 3 Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon strips, diced
- 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1-1/2 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried savory
- Dash pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, divided
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/4 cup white wine or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons plus 2/3 cup orange juice, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. In the drippings, saute carrot and onion until tender; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in stuffing cubes, parsley, savory, pepper and bacon.
- Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon bouillon in hot water; pour over stuffing mixture and gently toss to moisten. Spoon into hens. Tuck wings under hens; tie legs together.
- Place on a greased rack in a roasting pan. Lightly brush hens with oil; loosely cover with foil. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the wine, 2 tablespoons orange juice and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat; set aside 1/4 cup for sauce and keep warm.
- Brush remaining mixture over hens. Bake 40-50 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear and a thermometer inserted in stuffing reads 165°, brushing every 15 minutes with glaze.
- For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and remaining bouillon and orange juice until smooth. Stir in reserved glaze. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with hens. Yield: 2 servings.

Firefighter Steven Connors Promoted to Driver Engineer
On Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Firefighter Steven Connors was promoted to Driver Engineer, the youngest firefighter to do so in LFD's history.
Steven was joined by his wife and LFD colleagues to celebrate his professional advancement with the Lakeland Fire Department. Steve Connors has been an integral part of the LFD since March 29, 2010. Steve understands the importance of duty and service to country very well, having joined the United States Army at the young age of 17 where he went on to serve with the 1st Ranger Battalion and 82nd Airborne Division prior to joining the LFD.
Connors, a Ruskin, Florida native is an avid outdoorsman having spent his childhood fishing and hunting along this great state's creeks and rivers. He proudly uses that experience and skill to his advantage at the annual Fire Olympics with repeated attempts to dethrone Gilman, Herndon and Brannen.
He is an East Bay High School graduate and has since gone on to receive his Associate of Arts degree from Hillsborough Community College and holds certification in law enforcement, fire standards, and is a paramedic.
Steve credits his ability to have become a Driver Engineer to the training and support of his crew and all of his family at the LFD. Steve notes that he will deeply miss his brothers and sisters on B shift due the move from this new opportunity but looks forward to the day he can work closely with them again.
Congratulations to Steven Connors and sincere thanks for his dedicated service.

One of our loyal readers spotted this 197 MPH supercar from Stuttgart rolling down the 300 Block of Hopkins Ave in downtown Aspen. A fitting venue for such a rare, valuable piece of equipment, the 959 (1987-1989) remains one of the rarest, most advanced, ferociously fast supercars ever made. Its performance credentials, like a 3.7 second dash to 60 mph, remain disgustingly impressive to this day. This one looks to be pretty legit from where we sit, but please weigh in with replica car theories below.
Great find Jim!

Sure looks good. Go for it and let us know what you think after you get it. Good luck.
I've been looking at all sorts of lasers for my 21, and as price was no matter I was looking at the lasermax internal...I didn't like it, however because it pulsates....but the other day I happened upon this http://www.topglock.com/item/78079_L...Glock_-_L.aspx
and I think that it would be well worth the wait for the release. It is cheaper than the lasermax, and no doubt will be easier to see being that greens are brighter than the reds. What do you guys think?
Sure looks good. Go for it and let us know what you think after you get it. Good luck.
Looks pretty big, but nice.
I just checked out their web site. i like it even more. It's almost interactive. Check it out.
yup. I'm sold. That thing is visible from faaaaar off. It looked better than I ever could have hoped for in the day as well. I went ahead and preordered it.
Hopefully in their holster section they will have something along the lines of what I need that will accomidate the laser while it is on the gun.

A key to Ravenswood's success is our long-standing relationships with over 60 independent grape growers. Vineyards are chosen for their location, age, yield and special flavor characteristics. At Ravenswood, we are devoted to working with growers who share our philosophy about high quality.
Ravenswood Vineyard Designate wines are made employing what winemaker Joel Peterson refers to as "stubborn and impractical" Old World enological practices. Wines are fermented in small wooden tanks using wild, natural yeasts and punched down by hand three to five times per day. The wines are characterized by intense, spicy aromas supported by rich, berry flavors and long, clean finishes. View all Ravenswood Wines
About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Northern Chevy
I had a bad experience with PVC in the house downstairs this winter, pressured line that had a sudden jarring due to threads on a plastic filter head housing sheering off right in front of me and the PVC snapped like a pretzel in three spots on the manifold I had made years ago out of 3/4 diameter. Had it been air in the lines, oh that would be bad news as water is fairly non compressible. I went back to 3/4 copper ... tried and true.
Of course that isn't an air line but have thought of doing some plumbing in the stand alone shop but haven't yet. I would be tempted to go with L series copper and 3/4 inch simply to keep the velocity of the air slower, more surface area on the pipe to cool the air and have a riser off the compressor that goes up the wall to the roof and then back down before entering a water separator filter and regulator after that .. one idea anyway. As its said, a filter just after the compressor allows hot compressed air to pass right on through and carry most of the moisture with it rather then cooling it first to condense it, then having a combination of a water trap first, and filter etc after that. Florida, oh I can only imagine the moisture issues with 200 % humidity ... or it sure felt like it to me even in the winter once evening came !.
|Rod S.
It wasnt too bad......i did it about 10 years ago and i think i had about $200 in everything and i put 8 drops in the system. I think copper has went up about 800 percent since i did it, I certainly wouldnt do it in K copper today unless i took out a home equity load to do it! LOL
|Old Fool
|Rod S.
1/2 inch will be fine in your garage. My garage is 24x40 and i ran 1/2 k copper and have no problems. You can flow 375 CFM through a 1/2 orfice and im guessing your running maybe 18 cfm at 90 PSI with your Quincy. If you look at the Milton type M quick connects with a 3/8 fpt the opening in them is only maybe 3/16. I dont think you would see a noticable difference if you went with 3/4 pipe. Just my 2 bits worth of information.
Air lines
I ran a y in my shop , 120 X 40 but only have air and multiple plugs, machinery in one half, the other half is storage. I now usually only work alone but when one of my boys is working there too, 1/2 for each branch is enough. It is 3/4 out of the tank in the corner then 1/2 each way. DO NOT USE PVC . When it ages it will get brittle and can fracture or explode and the shrapnel will not show up in X rays. I did use pvc at my old shop UNDER GROUND with copper pipe coming up to have an air outlet at the front corner of the house. I had to replumb the Air system at a factory, The first install was all 1/2 pipe . when 4 or 5 air tools were running they were not getting consistant torque readings. I redid it with 2 in copper main line with 1/2 drops, and 1 inch and 3/4 for short branch runs. and 1/2 drops.
Like the others have said 1/2 should work fine. But I'd be more concerned with humidity and do everything I could possibly do to prevent condensate and control it because you are going to get plenty even with an inline drier.
Getting the compressed air to cool in the plumbed line before the drier has worked for me. I have used schedule 80 PVC, cheap and rated at 690psi.
So volume in the line is your friend in the main lines. I know you said you have limited wall space but try and get creative and see what you can do.
I also didn't notice that the drops have any short drops w/bleeders under the couplers. Try to get this feature included.
Mine is all 1/2 inch and works fine...
Usually they reccommend 3/4 at the start of what would be a long run, with multiple drops, and then you can cut to 1/2" halfway out.
My shop is all 1/2 with probably 40' from one end to the other and it works fine.
1/2" VS 3/4" Compressor Piping
Hey guys,
I am plumbing my garage after the move to the new house and because of the lack of space on the walls it would be a pain to plumb in the ¾ inch copper that I had in my old house. I moved to Florida and even though I have a 3 car garage its very small and most of the houses down here have no space in the house especially basements like I had up north so they hang everything in the garage. So I bought this kit below at the local Northern Tool and it looks cool and easy. I got a great deal on it (50% off).
My question is I am running my new 60 gallon Quincy compressor and will have 2 drops but is 1/2 inch going to be enough or should I have stuck with the 3/4 inch. The ¾ inch wasnt half off and was $200.00 which I didnt want to spend.
Will I really notice a difference between the ½ & ¾ inch?

ALBANY, N.Y. — David Dickson posted a career-high seven points with three goals and four assists, and Todd Heritage and Thomas Flibotte pumped in four goals apiece, leading No. 15/16 Bucknell to a come-from-behind 18-12 victory over No. 20 Albany on Saturday at John Fallon Field. The Bison trailed 7-4 early in the second half, but then poured in 14 goals in the final 14:12 to claim their seventh straight victory.
It was a banner week for the Bison, who knocked off No. 2 Cornell and No. 20 Albany -- two of the highest-scoring teams in the country -- on the road in a five-day span. Bucknell entered the week ranked 15th in the USILA Coaches' Poll and 16th in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll, and those rankings figure to rise after the two impressive victories in upstate New York. The Bison are now 8-1 on the season, with four of the eight wins coming against ranked opponents.
Chase Bailey, Peter Burke and Brock Ghelfi added two goals apiece for Bucknell, and faceoff specialist Ryan Gutowski had a big day, scoring his first goal of the season while winning 14 of 23 draws with eight ground balls.
Defenders Jackson Place and Alex Spring both collected six ground balls, while Mike Huffner had four and Ben Kellar three. Kyle Feeney stopped eight shots against a prolific Albany (4-3) offense that came in ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring at 14.5 goals per game. The Great Danes opened the season with a 16-15 win at Syracuse. During this winning streak, the Bison have faced three of the top seven highest-scoring teams in the country and kept them all well below their season averages.
Albany led 6-4 at the half and then went up 7-4 on a Miles Thompson goal 36 seconds into the second half. Bucknell's deficit was still three at 9-6 after a Ty Thompson goal at the 9:44 mark of the third quarter. But Gutowski answered back nine seconds later right off the faceoff win, and that ignited the Bison. Bucknell would outscore Albany 6-1 over the rest of the quarter, with the goals coming from five different players.
Ghelfi's unassisted marker with 1:40 left in the third put the Bison ahead 12-10, but Lyle and Ty Thompson scored consecutive goals 24 seconds apart in the first minute of the fourth quarter to tie the game back up for the sixth and final time.
It was all Bucknell the rest of the way, however. Dickson's unassisted goal with 12:14 to play gave the Bison a 13-12 lead, then Dickson fed Bailey to make it a two-goal cushion with 8:32 left. Bailey added another important insurance marker with 5:26 to play. Flibotte sandwiched a pair of goals around a Heritage shorthanded tally to finish off the scoring and give Bucknell a season-high 18 goals.
Bucknell outshot Albany 41-35 and forced 28 turnovers. The Bison were a near-perfect 28-for-29 on clears and limited the potent Albany EMO unit to 1-for-5 in man-up situations.
Ty Thompson finished with four goals for Albany, while Miles Thompson had three goals and three assists and Lyle Thompson, the national points leader, had a goal and three assists.
Flibotte upped his team-leading goal total to 25, making him one of the highest-scoring freshmen in the nation. Dickson now has a league-high 29 assists, and in only nine games he is already just two shy of joining the Bucknell single-season top-10.
Bucknell will play its next two games at home, starting Tuesday with another ranked opponent in No. 17/19 Penn State. The Bison will then host Patriot League rival Holy Cross next Saturday.

He graduated with an Artist Diploma from the New England Conservatory in 2008, as a student of Kim Kashkashian.
Murrath has made his mark as a viola soloist on the international scene, regularly giving solo performance in prestigious venues including NEC's Jordan Hall, The Kennedy Center, Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room and Royal Festival Hall in London, the National Auditorium in Madrid, and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels.
With repertoire extending from Bach to contemporary music by Ligeti, Kurtag and Sciarrino, Murrath is particularly keen on performing new works. He has taken part in the Park Lane Group New Year Series in London to great critical acclaim, as well as commissioned, given the world premieres, and recorded several solo works by Edwin Roxburgh and Michel Lysight.
An avid chamber musician, Murrath has collaborated with violinist Gidon Kremer, whom invited him to his festival in Lockenhaus, Austria and to Kronberg Academy's 'Chamber Music Connects the World' project. Other artists with whom Murrath has worked with include many members of the NEC faculty including Miriam Fried, Laurence Lesser, Paul Katz, Donald Weilerstein, and Kim Kashkashian, as well as Menahem Pressler, David Soyer, Radovan Vlatkovic, and Peter Wiley.
Festivals include IMS Prussia Cove (UK), Ravinia's Steans Institute for Young Artists (Chicago), Verbier Festival Academy, Gstaad Festival (Switzerland), Caramoor Rising Stars (New York), Great Lakes Festival (Michigan) and Marlboro Music Festival (Vermont).
A first prize winner at the 2008 Primrose International Viola Competition, Murrath has won numerous awards, including second prize at the First Tokyo International Viola Competition 2009, the special prize for the contemporary work at the ARD Munich Competition, Verbier Festival Academy's Viola Prize, New England Conservatory's Presidential Scholar Award, and a fellowship from the Belgian American Educational Foundation.

I still can't decide which one to mount first. Any suggestions? Does the amount of time in the freezer affect them noticeably?

Kill a few birds could have got more but broke a gun and had to share one. I leave overseas for the Army in a few days. Everyone have a good rest of the season and shoot straight.

At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-roe-plas-tee) includes surgery to repair droopy eyelids that may involve removing excess skin, muscle and fat.
As you age, your eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess fat may gather above and below your eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids and bags under your eyes.
Besides making you look older, severely sagging skin around your eyes can reduce your side vision (peripheral vision), especially the upper and outer parts of your field of vision. Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate these vision problems and make your eyes appear younger and more alert.
Blepharoplasty is usually done on an outpatient basis. To help decide if blepharoplasty is right for you, find out what you can realistically expect and explore the benefits and risks of blepharoplasty.

UPDATED: Voluntown woman killed in Griswold crash
Griswold — A Voluntown woman was killed late this morning after her car struck a telephone pole. The crash shut down a section of Route 138 for several hours as police investigated.
Gloria Barrie, 76, of 143 Shetucket Turnpike, sustained fatal injuries after state police said she tried to pass another car on the right while driving east on Route 138 near Bitgood Road about 11:20 a.m. The driver of the other car, Debbie Pezzente, 51, of Plainfield was not injured.
Police said Barrie's car struck the right mirror of Pezzente's car, causing Barrie to lose control. It then went through the metal guardrail on the south side of the road and struck the pole.
State police and members of the Griswold Fire Department responded. The road was reopened around 3 p.m. Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to contact State Trooper Matthew Siart at 860-848-6500.

Hi all
As a trainee, and a very new one at that, I'm struggling to come up with some decent and sensible CCQs for the phrase 'blind date' for a group of upper intermediate students.
Maybe something along the lines of:
If two people go on a blind date have they met each other before?
Do they know what the other person looks like?
Of course both assume that the students understand the word 'date'!
Be grateful for any other learned suggestions!

Online Tutoring with Smarthinking
Work with a tutor in real-time or submit questions or essays for a next day response. You can also pre-schedule online appointments using Smarthinking, a free online tutoring service for our students.
Please note: We have learned of a Web site that may confuse and/or trick our students into paying for the tutoring support we make available to them - free of charge - via Smarthinking. NOTE the single "t" in the name of the legitimate site. An unofficial site has apparently been launched (www.smartthinking.com - notice the double "t.") This unofficial site contains listings for an array of vendors, unaffiliated with Excelsior or the legitimate Smarthinking, offering fee-based tutorial assistance on multiple subjects. As an Excelsior student, you can access the legitimate site via the Resources tab at your MyExcelsior main page. (Login required.)
Learn more about Smarthinking (for our students - login required)

Test Preparation Advisory
Preparation for Excelsior College® Examinations, though based on independent study, is supported by Excelsior College with a comprehensive set of exam learning resources and services designed to help you succeed.
These learning resources are prepared by Excelsior College so you can be assured that they are current and cover the content you are expected to master for the exams. These resources, and your desire to learn, are usually all that you will need to succeed.
There are test-preparation companies that will offer to help you study for our examinations. Some may imply a relationship with Excelsior College and/or make claims that their products and services are all that you need to prepare for our examinations.
Excelsior College is not affiliated with any test preparation firm and does not endorse the products or services of these companies. No test preparation vendor is authorized to provide admissions counseling or academic advising services, or to collect any payments, on behalf of Excelsior College. Excelsior College does not send authorized representatives to a student's home.
Depending upon your individual learning style and needs, you may consider using the services and products of a test preparation vendor to help you prepare for an Excelsior College Examination. Some students have found such materials beneficial while others have not. The decision to purchase the services and products of any of these vendors is entirely up to you.
Excelsior College does not review the materials provided by test preparation companies for content or compatibility with Excelsior College Examinations.
To help you become a well-informed consumer we suggest that you consider the following before making any purchase decision regarding study materials provided by organizations other than Excelsior College.
Does the company:
- Clearly articulate that it is an independent business enterprise, separate from Excelsior College, and that it is not a degree granting institution?
- Clearly inform you that the products and services it provides have not been reviewed, nor are they endorsed, by Excelsior College?
- Openly indicate that it is not an agent of Excelsior College, that it is not authorized to provide admissions counseling or academic advising regarding Excelsior's degree requirements, and that all its costs and fees are separate from those you will pay to the College?
- Have a record of unresolved complaints/disputes with consumer protection agencies, nursing boards, attorneys general offices, or other similar organizations?
- Require clients to commit to long-term, binding contracts to access its products and services?
- Provide data to substantiate the satisfaction of its clients with its products and services?
We have been made aware of several recent incidents in which a test-preparation firm has contacted an Excelsior College student requesting access to their Excelsior College Examinations ® preparatory materials, including practice exams. Sharing learning resources with a test-preparation firm is a clear violation of the academic honesty code. Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty at Excelsior College will be subject to disciplinary action.
If you are approached by any individual or third-party about sharing any Excelsior College provided study materials, please contact us at PR (at) excelsior.edu.

Well I just joined today and i figured this is probably the best place for a 1st post. :) I dont have any SW armor. So Im hoping to make a :skullMando:skull suit my first. Am 18 and live in Florida USA and right now Im trying to obtain some more funds to start this project but the way things are going I wont have the money till Dec 09. So I guess im just looking for ideas and guides.
*Note* Even though Im kinda young I DID grow up with the orginal triolgy. And I DO like the new trilogy.


text: Congrats on your new G21. Glad you found something that works for you. Acessories? Well, here's what I would do with the G21 like I used to have. Full steel guide rod--like I do all of my Glocks past and present. On the G21, I needed an extended slide lock. I'd also look at a better set of sights than the factory, nite sights or otherwise. Good luck with it.
