Skyrim talk:Folgunthur
[edit] Right Combination
the right combination to 4 entrance stones? — Unsigned comment by 184.108.40.206 (talk) at 22:54 on 24 November 2011
- The last gate before entering Folgunthur Crypt, is locked by a large, round stone-door. To proceed beyond this door, enter the combination: Eagle, Eagle and then Dragon, from outer to inner circle. Then use the Ivory Claw to open it.
- where does one find this combination? is it in a book somewhere? — Unsigned comment by 220.127.116.11 (talk) at 20:51 on 4 December 2011
- If you pull up your inventory and rotate the Ivory Claw, the pattern should be inscribed on the back of it. -WalB 11:50, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] room with the gate in the floor
no matter how many times i try using the right combination or otherwise the gate will not open anybody got any ideas? i have left and returned many times but i cannot get the damned thing to open.... — Unsigned comment by 220.127.116.11 (talk) at 02:55 on 10 December 2011
- I've added a more detailed explanation as to how the combination is set for the grated room. Hope it helps. -WalB 11:50, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- From left to right: Bird, Whale, Snake ;) — Unsigned comment by 18.104.22.168 (talk) at 10:14 on 12 December 2011
- Just be sure to line the stone pictures up with the arrows on the ground, not so the pictures are facing the player character at the middle stone. 188.8.131.52 09:31, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
(←) In case it helps people: The confusing part of this puzzle is that you have to mirror the images rather than replicate the order. Mirror means that you have to match the images in reverse order (like a real mirror). If the order in the right-hand room is snake/whale/bird (from left-to-right facing them), then you need to reverse the order in the left-hand room: bird/whale/snake (also from left-to-right facing them). Or, put another way: make sure both snakes are closest to the doors, both whales are in the middle, and both birds are furthest from the doors.
The other confusing part is that the activator (pull-chain) is in the previous room (with the grate on the floor). (It's not the trap switch in the puzzle room.) Arbitrator 04:36, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- Pillar glitch confirmed. I just had the same effect (XBox, all patches current): Press A to activate on any of the three, but no pillar movement possible. I fixed it by exiting the dungeon and reentering it right away. One other difference I noticed on second entry- the first time there had been no blood around the slain Adventurer sites, but on reentry there was plenty. -DSH 5/13/2012 — Unsigned comment by 184.108.40.206 (talk) at 21:58 on 13 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Looting Bug Applies to More Than Mikrul Gauldurson
I experienced this bug in the room with the two spiders and water. I wasn't able to loot the draugr except some (but not all) of their separated weapons. Reloading while they were alive and killing them again didn't help. I fixed it by quicksaving after I killed them and reloading from there. Arbitrator 04:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- This happens in several dungeons. If you can, exit the area to a previous or new load area then return, this will also fix this. I have seen, on fairly rare instances, where the bodies cleanup even on a quick load like this. Sometimes all the bodies, sometimes just a few. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. Philbert 20:56, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Rotating pillars near entrance
In the first large room there are eight rotating pillars (the ones with various animal totem images on them). Do they do anything useful? Or did the Daynas Valen already set them up properly, just as he already used the ivory claw to open that room in the first place?— Unsigned comment by 184.108.40.206 (talk) at 22:52 on 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- The appropriate combination for these is depicted on the opposite wall. All the combination does is open and close the door however, so we can assume Daynas already opened it.18.104.22.168 00:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Unreachable Room?
In Folgunthur Crypt, along the NE wall there is what looks like a hidden room in the map view. It is just NW of one of the divider walls. Has anyone found an access to this or is it just background? Philbert 21:08, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Just had a look, using TCL. It's not a hidden room, it just seems to be part of the crypt's architecture that intersects whatever plane is used when generating the map. --Reka 16:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! Philbert 15:41, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Ivory Dragon Claw Troubles (Solved)
Okay, so I've decided to collect all of Skyrim's Dragon Claws for the sake of collecting them. To do so, I started the Forbidden Legend quest. After clearing the dungeon, I would imagine my use of the Ivory Dragon Claw (For it's original purpose) would come to end. Unfortunately, it has decided otherwise.
I tried to exhaust it's "quest item" status by closing and reopening every puzzle and door associated with it within Folgunthur. Still, it remains in my inventory as a half-pound of decor. Could anyone help me to figure out how to make the claw become nonessential? Are there more doors I could use it on? Or am I just missing something? (I play Skryim on Xbox 360-So no console commands unfortunately) --SlyKhajiit 15:47, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- At a guess I would say that you need to finish the Forbidden Legend quest. The Silencer has spokenTalk 19:51, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- That's what I was hoping would do it. I'll mention if it is successful or not. Thank you. --SlyKhajiit 16:02, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- It's worked, I feel a little ridiculous seeing how easy it was to rid myself of the Ivory and Emerald claws. I mostly assumed they would be there forever considering the first character I tried this quest with was eternally bugged. I never got past Geirmund's Hall with her. Anyways, problem solved. I'll try to make sure I have a real issue the next time I edit a Talk page. Thanks. --SlyKhajiit 16:16, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Post-Quest Respawns
Has anyone checked the dungeon after completing the related quest or at least the portion that involves this dungeon? Is it near-identical down to fighting Mikrul wielding another Gauldur Blackblade? That one perhaps properly leveled to when you either re-enter the ruin or re-enter the second zone? I know that much of the loot in the second zone found on that table up the stairs in front of the door appears to be generated on entry to the second zone, but in 3 reloads from a save in front of the Ivory claw door Mikrul was still a feeble opponent for a level 40 character who must have picked up the book to start the quest sometime around when the second-weakest version of the Gauldur Blackblade was the appropriate level and the Orcish weapons found throughout both zones would have been more useful finds. Even odder was that some properly-leveled items also appeared throughout the ruin, such as a glass helmet placed on the small table behind the claw door along with an Orcish sword.--220.127.116.11 06:18, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Failure to respawn prohibits Dragon Shout acquisition
My third Skyrim character was unable to acquire the Dragon Shout from the Word Wall in Folgunthur even after several reloads. Instead, the sound just loops (loudly) near the wall without providing the visual effects on the wall. Hoping a respawn of the dungeon would fix this issue (I am playing on the Xbox 360), after over a year of in-game time the dungeon has not reset. Word Wall quests do not direct me back to the dungeon (I have obtained all other shouts) and presence of the Ivory Claw in my inventory does not seem to make a difference. Has anyone else had this dungeon fail to respawn? Is there any way to force or encourage a respawn? Thank you for your time. Garland the Elder 01:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Ebony blade
the part at the end, after descending the stairs guarded by a trapdoor/grate, and where the frostbite spiders are, I found an Ebony Blade. It's in the pool of water to the right, and did require a bit of fishing around- has anyone else seen this?Itssnowing 22:27, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- Was it the artifact called the Ebony Blade, or just an Ebony sword? --XyzzyTalk 22:36, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- I should have clarified, sorry- it was a ebony greatsword. I think it may have been a bug, because I just found another at the end of the crypt, hovering next to the door. — Unsigned comment by Itssnowing (talk • contribs) at 15:49 on 29 July 2012
- I went back and checked. Yes, there is an ebony greatsword sticking out of the water in an alcove of that room. After someone determines whether is it leveled or not, it should be added to the article. --XyzzyTalk 22:56, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- Neato. If it's any help, my character is level 36.Itssnowing 23:16, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

(←) I would agree that it's leveled, but it does not level properly very frequently. I found an Iron Greatsword at level 52, and the one in the second zone treasure and word wall room changes every time I reload a save from just before entering the zone for the first time. It was steel, then dwarven, then iron. The other items leveled very randomly too.--Playerseekingbugs (talk) 18:44, 8 December 2012 (GMT)
- That description seems more to be random rather than leveled. —MortenOSlash (talk) 18:51, 8 December 2012 (GMT)
- Exactly. I guess I should be digging through more relevant pages to find out how the game does leveling with dummy items and chests and why it always seems so random, but this was one case I just experienced. I'm using a character who's mastered all crafting skills and knows how to use Fortify Restoration without breaking the gameplay utterly. And I can thus make just about anything I want and I don't rely heavily on dungeon loot, but I would still like the leveling system for loot to treat my character as the level 50+ he is. I think that should entail at least frequent Dwarven and Elven loot, not Iron and Steel and rarely even Orcish at times.--Playerseekingbugs (talk) 08:11, 9 December 2012 (GMT)
[edit] FINDING SOLD ITEMS
So... I have made a mistake and sold the Ivory Dragon Claw but do not recall where I sold it. Does anyone have any hints as how to find it again? I need it to finish one of my quests.

Metropolys Board Game Strategy
August 23rd, 2011Metropolys board game has quickly become one of my favorite board games. We like it because there is a fair amount of strategy in every bid and the game can be played through pretty quickly once everyone understands the rules. I noticed that it took me a few times playing through the game before i really felt like i understood how i needed to use each turn to accumulate the most points and win the game.
This article is just an hightlight of a few strategic tips. If you want a more thorough review please look at our Metropolys Board Game Review.
I thought it would be helpful to share some of my strategies to help new players have a better idea of what they can do before they fully understand how all the components of Metropolys work together.
A few strategic guidelines
1. If a piece does not score there is no reason to use that piece. Make sure that if you are going to win that the realestate either helps you accomplish your goal, or set you up for your next move. There is a feeling early on that you win metropolys by getting rid of your pieces the fastest. In reality the first person done is rarely the person who wins.
2. Your initial goal should be to claim the realestate that is both your assigned color and has high points on it, for example a 3 point chip and your designated color should be the highest priority.
3. Your assigned task should be important to you, but you must remember that often times one player making a realestate purchase can ruin your strategy. Focus first on your color and the positive point chips and then on your assined point goal.
4. If you do get out to a nice lead start claiming spots that give you landlocked bid realestate that can be purchased cheaply.
Best Board games July 2011
July 6th, 2011The list of best board games is constantly evlolving. I have decided to do a top ten list for each of the next few months to illistrate how much movement a player can have in his or her top board games. I personally have games that move on and off of the list depending on the gaming group that you are playing with and the amount of time that you have to play.
Here is my top ten list of board games for july 2011
1. Metropolys
2. Acquire
3. PowerGrid
4. Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries
5. The Farming Game
6. Settlers of Catan
7. Atlantis
8. Incan Gold
9. Ingenious
10. Puerto Rico
I try to play these games at least once a month, but with all the other demands on time it is very challenging to get them in. I will keep playing and update the blog as the list changes.
Metropolys Board Game
July 6th, 2011Metropolys is a board game where players take turn bidding on spots on the board. As is customer is auction style board games, each player gets an opportunity to bid each round, the player that places the highest bid wins the spot. The game is unique because you are not bidding on the same spot, but on any of the open spots in the surrounding available plots. Each round takes the bidding and the flow and direction of the board in a unique diretion. Metropolys is fast moving board game that will take about 40 minutes to play. Because the board and the bids move differently every turn, Metropolys has high replayability.
Metropolys has two game play modes, an expert for experienced gamers, or anyone who can manage multiple scoring options at the same time. My recommendation is that if you are experienced in strategy games at all, that you play the expert or advanced mode. The family, or easy mode is very basic and only has one, much more simple scoring element to it.
In the expert setting of metropolys each player has a color that they are trying to build on, they also have a building objective. Each player has a different color and different building objective. Although you may be completing for similar spots at times during the game, you will all be working to complete different objectives.
Metropolys is very straight forward and you will quickly get the hang of this very fun board game. It is unique in its design and play and is a great game to add to your board game collection.
Ticket to Ride Board Game
June 24th, 2011Ticket to Ride continues to be one of the top board games. It seems to be the game that resonates with players and gets people excited to share with their friends. Recently days of wonder released a ticket to ride game app for the IPOD/IPADS that is outstanding.
When you are playing against the computer you can play through an entire game in about 7 minutes. You can also play online with other players, but those games move considerable slower and woudl play more like the real game. It has been so easy to find 10 minutes here of there to get a quick game in. The only weakness in the app is that the computers are not particularly challenging and it does not appear that you can up the difficulty. Winning is relatively easy, I now play to try and go over 200 points.
Anytime i am talking to a new customer, or new gamer that wants a good recommendation it is always ticket to ride. It is easy to learn and fun to play. I know that it is a little soft for the hard core gamers, but it is always a great board game to come back to and a great game to recommend.
Planning a Board Game Night
June 10th, 2010People love to play board games. They especially love to play them with their friends. This article will be geared towards helping you plan a successful board game night that everyone will enjoy and rememeber.
1. Pick that game that you are going to play ahead of time. Make sure that you understand the rules and can easily teach the game to those that that have not played the board game before. Also look at the maximum number of players allowed, you will do this for two reasons. First, You do not want to have more players than the game allows. It is clearly no fun to be invited to a board game party, only to sit around and watch everyone else play. Second, board games are usually the most fun when they are played with the maximum number of players. Your goal should be able to have as many players as the board game will support.
2. Select you guest list and ask for commitments. You want everything to go off as planned. If you treat the invitation to the board game night people are less likely to show up. You may actually want to make invitations and send them out. Don't be afraid to as the board game night invitee's to RSVP. You also want to select you guest list based on the board game that you will be playing. Some people just don't fit the personalitly of some of hte board games that are out there. Make sure that the people that you invite match the dynamic of the board game and that it will be a fun and dynamic meeting.
3. Have the game rules readily available so that if at any point in the game on of the players has a question they can reference the rules without having to stop and ask you. This will allow everyone to feel confident in their decisions without having to reveal their strategy.
4. Have people sit next to people they don't know, or next to people that they are not as familiar with. You want to keep everyone focused on the game. Lots of side bar conversations can be disctracting. Make sure that the game is the focus of everyones interest.
5. Throw some snacks out on the table, or in a convenient location near by. Gamers get hungry while they play. If the are doing poorly they may need some comfort food. You can even ask some of the guests to bring a treat to help them feel more involved and increase their commitment to the evening.
6. This is specifically for the host. When the game starts, stop doing everything else and focus on the game. You don't have anything else to worry about. If you are distracted, everyone else will be to. Make sure that you guests and the board game that you have selected to play have your complete attention.
If you follow these steps you will off to a great start with you board game night. They can be a lot of fun and will help build friendships and memories.
The Livingstone Board Game
June 9th, 2010The Livingstone board game is based on the adventures of Dr. Livingstones as he safaried through africa. He was commissioned by queen Victoria to explore parts of africa that were previously unknown to England.
This past week i finally had the chance to play livingstone. The game has been out for a year and since its release i had not heard much about it. I really enjoyed learning the game and then playing it with my wife. The game is fairly simply in its play, but has good elements of strategy. Livingstone board game is a great choice if you want to play a victory point driven strategy game, but don't have a lot of time to sit down and play.
Livingstone will accomodate 2-5 players and will last 35-45 minutes. As usually your first time through will last a little longer as everyone gets a feel for the game. I spent about ten minutes learning the rules and then the first time we played took about 35 minutes with two people. I expect the next time i play it will only take about 25 with two players.
The point of livingstone board game is to score as many vitory points as possible, while still making financial contributions to queen Victoria. Initially it is a little challenging to discover the balance between building tents and using your money to progress the game while still making contributions so that you aren't left behind. The player or players who have the least amount of tribute at the end of the 12th round automaticallty lose regardless of how many victory points they have scored.
The game play allows players to take two actions on most turns. This actions are used to attain more money, and to gain victory points through expeditions, or through mining. The game consists of twelve rounds where players rotate who goes first. It is a fun game with lots of elements that make it exciting and challenging. Because you are dependant on other players to leave you with what you need, you never get quite what you expect.
Niagara Board Game Versus Incan Gold Board Game
May 25th, 2010Niagara board game versus Incan Gold is one of the most interesteding head to head comparisions that i have done. They have incredible similarities, they are just set on different stages. There is a little more to Niagara, but you pay more for it as well.
Here is my break down of these two Board Games.
The other debate between niagara and incan gold is an interesting one. Incan gold received a geek rating of 6.64 and Niagara received a rating of 6.63. Incan Gold has a slightly larger following, but it is not significant. In both games you are working to collect jewels. Niagara has fewer jewels in the game, i believe the first person who collects 5 wins. In incan gold you are collecting and placing jewels every turn and the winning player usually has about 35-50 jewels at the end of the game. The playing time is quite different. Incan gold is a 15-20 minute game and Niagara is a 45 minute game. Niagara appears to be a little more strategy based and a little more involved while incan gold is mostly chance and risk tolerance. In incan gold a game goes very quickly and is quite suspensful and frustrating at times. As far as board display goes they are very different. Incan Gold is entirely a card game that uses a bag ful of jewels that you place on the card and in front of each player. Niagara actually has a game board and a stronger table presence. The biggest difference in these games is the price point. Incan gold is a $30 retail game that i can get for 20. Niagara is a $50 game that is going to be around 35. I have played incan gold and really get a kick out of it. Niagara looks like a lot of fun, but i have no exprience playing it.
Caylus Board Game or Pillars of The Earth Board Game
May 25th, 2010I had a friend ask about Caylus and Pillars of the Earth. They games have some strong similarities and he wanted a break down on the games. I sent him the following information and thought that it might be useful for our other customers.
Rating 7.98 ( Boardgamegeek ) This is an extremely high user rating
Retail Price is 54.95, much lower on the Gamzu website.
Once upon a time …
1289. To strengthen the borders of the Kingdom of France, King Philip the Fair decided to have a new castle built. For the time being, Caylus is but a humble village, but soon, workers and craftsmen will be flocking by the cartload, attracted by the great prospects. Around the building site, a city is slowly rising up.
The players embody master builders. By building the King's castle and developing the city around it, they earn prestige points and gain the King's favor. When the castle is finished, the player who has earned the most prestige wins the game.
Pillars of the Earth ( this is the one that John said was spun off of Caylus)
Rating 7.38
Retail Price 49.00, again, better priced on Gamzugames.com
At the beginning of the 13th century, construction of the greatest and most beautiful cathedral in England begins. Players are builders who try to contribute the most to this cathedral's construction and, in so doing, score the most victory points. Gameplay roughly consists of using workers to produce raw materials, and then using craftsmen to convert the materials into victory points. Workers may also be used to produce gold, the currency of the game. Players are also given three master builders each turn, each of which can do a variety of tasks, including recruiting more workers, buying or selling goods, or just obtaining victory points. Getting early choices with a master builder costs gold, as does purchasing better craftsmen. Players must strike a balance between earning gold to fund their purchases and earning victory points.

Good lighting is one of many factors that need to be taken into consideration in the planning and design of a house. Lighting creates atmosphere, accent a style, and set a mood Lighting is often forgotten since many people do not aware of its potential to transform a room. Without this important aspect, the impact of all the other details- furniture, decoration, paint, and flooring-would not reach maximal result. It brings out the best qualities in the room and at the same time can hide those that are not attractive.
Important Considerations to Invokes Good Lighting
It is essential to use the right type of light fitting in the right position to have good lighting. If the lighting does not have a specific function, you should not use it. Light, shade and reflection are also important for any scheme. Without shadow, you cannot achieve any variation or atmosphere. Reflection can be use to your advantages where required and hide it when necessary. If you want to open a space, you can use directional recessed spot light to bounce reflected light off walls. The last consideration is your budget. Good quality energy efficient lighting, such as LED, is expensive. So if you have short budget, it is better to use LED sparingly.
Artificial lighting and Natural Light Provide Good Lighting
There are several type of artificial lighting that you can use to create good lighting, namely general lighting, task lighting, accent lighting. General lighting, also known as ambient lighting, is hidden light source that washes the room with a glow. This tends to flatten a room and creates very few shadows. Wall scones can produce general lighting. Task lighting should be bright enough to prevent eyestrain. It enables you to do specific tasks such as reading, sewing, cooking and studying. This kind of lighting should free from glare by shielding it. Accent light gives accent by creating visual interest. Accent light usually used to highlight paintings, plants, sculpture, or texture of a wall. Accent lighting, such as halogen spotlight, needs at least three times as much light on focal points as the general lighting around it.
Aside from artificial lights mention above, we ought to utilize natural light. Natural daylight has the best clarity of all lighting and it is almost impossible to replicate it. Using large windows will allow you to have more natural light in your room. Room arrangements also need to be adjusted to the position of the sun at different times of day. Natural light also has disadvantages. It is less reliable because it is affected by geographic location, seasons and weather. Natural light provides good lighting and it is free.

Homes for the Cure Helps Fight Breast Cancer
Homes for the Cure helps fight Breast Cancer. Every day in the United States, an average of more than 100 people die from breast cancer. That's almost 40,000 victims annually. At Centerline Homes, we've personally felt the devastating impact of breast cancer, and have decided to join with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization to help raise funds for research and education.

Just six months after his last visit, the Dalai Lama is coming back to South Florida. The exiled former ruler of Tibet and leader of Tibetan Buddhism will be the guest at a fundraiser in October for the Department of Religious Studies at Florida International University in Miami. The Dalai Lama also will speak at Temple Emanu-El of Miami Beach and at the University of Miami. He'll be keeping a promise made in May 2009, when FIU administrators were considering closing or dismembering the religious studies department.

The Dalai Lama was such a hit last time, South Floridians couldn't wait to get him back. In separate appeals, the Tibetan Buddhist leader was invited by presidents of six South Florida colleges, plus leaders of several Buddhist groups. The result: Another visit after less than six years. Nova Southeastern University in Davie, where the Dalai Lama spoke in 2004, will be the first venue on Feb. 23. The next day, he'll make his first visit to Palm Beach County when he speaks at Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton.
Dalai Lama brings message of peace to Miami-Dade
By Jaweed Kaleem, The Miami Herald
October 26, 2010
The sun was barely up Tuesday when the crowds began to wrap the blocks around Temple Emanu-El in Miami Beach, where morning worship would typically bring only a few Jews to the historic synagogue. But this was no ordinary day, as black Muslim imams, Indian Jain nuns, Catholic and Protestant pastors and Hindu swamis joined a mix of hundreds along with college professors. Tucked under many of their arms were books with titles like "Becoming Enlightened" and "Art of Happiness in a Troubled World" and printouts of manifestos of world peace.

Dalai Lama blasts Chinese
By Edward Wong The New York Times
March 11, 2009
The Dalai Lama delivered one of his harshest attacks on the Chinese government in recent times on Tuesday, saying that the Chinese Communist Party had transformed Tibet into a "hell on Earth" and that the Chinese authorities regard Tibetans as "criminals deserving to be put to death." "Today, the religion, culture, language and identity, which successive generations of Tibetans have considered more precious than their lives, are nearing extinction," said the Dalai Lama, 73, the spiritual leader of the Tibetans.

Dalai Lama: Message of internal compassion comes to South Florida
February 21, 2010
There are two kinds of people impacted in a life-changing way by the global recession. The first type are those who've lost their jobs and savings and end up with nothing. The second type are those who've lost their jobs and savings, but end up with everything. How is this so? Because they have developed a strong sense of inner strength to overcome adversity. This is the message that His Holiness, the 14 t h Dalai Lama of Tibet, will bring to South Florida when he returns to Nova Southeastern University on Feb. 23. The Dalai Lama last spoke in the region six years ago at NSU. Tibet's spiritual leader, who is coming back to NSU by popular demand, also plans to visit Broward College and Florida Atlantic University.

Buddhist lama coming to South Florida
James D. Davis and South Florida Sun-Sentinel
October 8, 2010
When the Dalai Lama speaks in South Florida this week, one of his messages will be aimed at companies: Stop fighting. They're competing against each other, when they should be competing with each other, according to a Tibetan monk in the Dalai Lama's inner circle. "When banks and corporations compete against each other, they see the other as an enemy," Lama Tenzin Dhonden, the Dalai Lama's emissary for peace, said during a visit to Nova earlier this month. "That path will only bring profit to you and harm to others.
Dalai Lama's unexpected answer food for thought
Antonio Fins and EDITORIAL PAGE EDITOR

George W. Bush. That's not exactly the person I thought the Dalai Lama would name as someone he looked up to, or admired. And I wasn't alone in my reaction. "It was unexpected," said Ashley Chang-Story, the Nova Southeastern University student who asked the insightful question that produced the even more insightful answer. "I don't think anyone in that room was expecting that he would say George W. Bush." She was right. And probably most people reading this column would think the same way, regardless of whether they are a fan or detractor of the former president.

"Can you imagine if you saw me in the red light district?" asked Archbishop Desmond Tutu, world-renowned peace advocate and humanitarian. Tutu, of course, had a purpose to this question, addressing the idea of how Jesus befriended the social outcasts like prostitutes and sinners. In a speech that drew both boos and standing ovations from the crowd, Tutu covered everything from the God-given power of choice to climate change to the Dalai Lama's poor English. Tutu had a message for students: "God says some of my best collaborators have been young."

Capterra wants to buy Marketing Automation software… no problem! For the past several years I've been showing people how to easily and effectively buy software, so this is the perfect opportunity to put all of that expertise to use.
According to Capterra's Buyers Guide (which I have nearly memorized at this point), these are the simple steps to purchasing software:
- Articulate your software needs based on your business goals.
- Optimize your business processes before implementing new software.
- Identify ALL software options.
- Narrow these options to a short list of well- targeted alternatives.
- Compare the short-listed solutions and make a final decision.
It looks easy enough, but will it work? I certainly hope so. Otherwise, we really need to rethink our whole shtick.
We set a goal of 3 months to purchase marketing automation software, and we decided to chronicle our journey, here on this blog, for the world to see. In the words of our CEO, "we're really showing our underwear with this one." He's right. I just hope we're wearing cute, clean ones and not some ratty old underoos from the 80s.
As we walk down this path, I encourage you to let us know how you think we're doing. Whether you're a Marketing Automation software vendor, someone who uses Marketing Automation, someone who's thinking about using it, or a supportive soul out there in the universe— we want to hear from you. We'll share our lessons learned, what worked (hopefully) and what didn't (hopefully not much!) in our expert process and our observations about everything from the products themselves to the sales people.
Strap on your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen. Here we go!

Smart Meters Mean Simpler Tariffs
Mark England, CEO of Sentec, discusses how smart meters will play an important role in reducing customer churn for utilities and providing a better deal for consumers.
The issue of energy bills never seems to be far from the public eye these days.
The prognosis seems to be a gloomy one, with the continued increase in wholesale gas and oil prices leading to a steady rise in the household bills. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel for more proactive homeowners.
In addition to schemes such as the Government's Feed-In-Tariffs, designed to encourage home solar installations, the use of smart meters will prove vital in helping consumers keep their energy bills manageable.
The potential impact of smart meters cannot be overstated. Recent research by the independent energy think tank, VassaETT, has shown that the information provided by smart meters could help consumers cut household electricity bills by an impressive 8.5 per cent, going a long way towards mitigating the rising cost of energy.
In addition to the energy efficiency smart meters engender, the devices have another powerful application, one that has not been discussed in any sort of depth to date. In October 2011, the energy regulator Ofgem announced that it is looking at the introduction of a simple unit price for energy and fixing a standard charge. Additionally, the regulator has mooted the idea of making standardised price information available to consumers, allowing them to compare various energy tariffs more effectively. These pressures are making major energy providers such as E.ON and British Gas look again at how they structure their tariffs and aim for a simpler approach. Smart meters will play a vital role in bringing this about by acting as a gateway for collecting and assessing energy use, providing consumers with the information they need to make an informed decision about their energy tariffs.
Metering for change
Smart meters are capable of collecting a wide array of data on a user's energy habits, but such data is only useful if it can be presented to the consumer as actionable intelligence. Providing the meter alone is not enough, utility companies should also invest in supplying customers with basic analytics tools; for example, a simple web portal from which data can be viewed and analysed. Such a set up would involve the smart meter transmitting data to the web portal for use by the consumer, allowing them to modify their behaviour according to the information they receive.
For example, it could be possible to 'timeshift' certain activities, such as running the dish-washer or washing machine, to take advantage of a lower-priced time band. Similarly, if a customer usually had a high base load during the night, the portal could alert them to this so they can check all of their appliances have been correctly switched off. In the future, tariffs may need to become more restrictive to ensure that we do not squander our energy resources. This could mean for example that consumers will be billed more for units of energy that surpass a specified 'ration' (much as some mobile phone tariffs work today for data downloads); in such a scenario timeshifting will make an important contribution towards keeping energy usage down.
Taking this one step further, presenting energy usage data to the customer in a format that allows them to easily compare their tariff with other options, via a third-party price comparison site for example, will demonstrate a transparency that will be crucial in restoring consumer trust. By empowering the customer to switch to more favourable tariffs according to their energy use, suppliers will help reduce churn. They could even make tailored suggestions to help customers cut their energy bills via this type of portal.
It's the details that matter
To be able to deliver a service of this type, energy suppliers will need to be able to access a much richer set of data than is currently available, one that will drill into historical usage patterns at a granular level. Today, energy suppliers only have access to a relatively crude record of historical energy consumption, this will need to be vastly improved and provided on an hourly, or half-hourly basis. For consumers to benefit from tariff comparisons, they must be given access to sufficiently detailed data to apply all tariffs to data sets to find out which one costs the least. The rich functionality that this requires has already been included in the smart meter technical specification issued by the DECC. There is, however, a major consideration around the functionality of the wider system and how energy companies and consumers will be able to access that usage data. Presently, the smart meter specification provides for an in-home display (IHD). While the IHD will provide information on energy usage, it does not currently allow for analysis against tariffs from the various energy companies.
The ability to store data and present it back to the consumer in a relevant and engaging format should be a major consideration for the development of the IT infrastructure associated with smart meter rollout. In theory, it ought to be possible to offer real-time access to usage information as soon as smart meters are rolled out, so developing a portal as well as the associated infrastructure is something utilities must be thinking about now. This portal could give much more information than a simple IHD, including highlighting the best tariffs and most cost effective time to run loads.
Planning for the future
The challenges facing energy companies are clear. Consumers are going to become increasingly concerned about tariffs and energy costs and in order to effectively meet these concerns, energy companies need to do more than simply provide an IHD (which could, in all likelihood, find itself at the bottom of a kitchen drawer once the novelty has worn off). The onus is on the energy industry to consider the full functionality of the system, and what it will provide from the perspective of the consumer. Careful thought needs to be given to the exact impact smart meter rollouts will have on the overall IT and data management systems of the utility, and to provide a system that allows consumers to access the best deals.
Ultimately, it will be the consumer that bears the cost of smart meter rollouts, and energy companies must do their upmost to guarantee they are receiving the best possible value for money, and seeing the benefits from day one. Smart meters need to be upgradeable, future-proof and suitable for future requirements enabling smarter functionality for the foreseeable future. Utilities need assurance that they will not have to revisit this rollout for a long time.
Furthermore, the consumer needs to be empowered to use the information available from smart meters simply and effectively, helping them to both reduce their energy consumption and make the most of favourable tariffs to keep their bills down. Energy companies today should be looking at what elements they will need to put in place to ensure that their metering system is fit for this purpose. As energy prices continue to rise, such transparency will help maintain customer relationships and reduce churn, allowing utilities to make the most of the difficult market conditions.

5th ACT COMMUNITY |
Letter From Tyler Van Horn: June 10, 2011 Dear First Pres: The 5th Act Community is an attempt to make disciples of Jesus by creating communities outside the walls of our church building. The name "5th Act" is based on the metaphor created by Biblical Scholar NT Wright. Wright asks the question, "What would you do if you found the first four acts of a five-act Shakespearean play?" Wright answers his own question by explaining how one would have to go about studying the first four acts of the play extensively in order to create a fifth act. Wright then extends his metaphor by naming and explaining the first four acts of God's story: 1.Creation 2.Fall 3.Israel and 4.Jesus. Here is where we come in because the fifth act of God's grand narrative is THE CHURCH. We have been given the task of partnering with God's Holy Spirit to live out this act in ways that are faithful to the way of Jesus and relevant to our culture. The strategy of The 5th Act Community is two-fold. ONE: create missional communities, or groups of people who meet outside of the church building in order to live out the life of Jesus together. TWO: invite people to join discipleship groups with the hope that they will learn how to then lead a discipleship group in the future. Both missional communities and discipleship groups are focused on living out intentional relationships because we live in a culture hungry for authenticity and thirsty for deep human connection. Our hope is to address the hunger and thirst of our culture by giving the body and blood of Christ to people in the form of community. We are grateful to be part of the "3DM Network" (check out www.3Dministries.com for info about this group) where we are receiving training for how to do this kind of community development. Grace and Peace, |

Presented by: Charles Suscheck
Leadership Track: 2:45pm-3:45pm
Presentation Materials: Slide Deck
There are a lot of presentations about Scrum, XP, Lean, and generally team based agile, but there's more to agile than just a team. There's a lot of other agile related management aspects that need to be addressed from the business side. This presentation is going to assume you know enough about Scrum and XP to practice it at a team level, but now your ready to have a go at the project or program level.
- What is vertical story slicing and why is it important?
- How do you create the product backlog and track features?
- What do you need to make a good portfolio and annual plan?
- What about support?
If you're ready for the next level of agile – from a business and management side – this is the session you should take. If you're looking for a technical talk – this is not the session.

King of the forest
December 24, 2011
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king." —
the wild masculine
October 28, 2009
Mmmm he stands proud, a jaguar draped across his shoulders. Its no surprise I felt the need to surround him by horses, they respresent Power, grace, beauty, strength, wildness and freedom. He represents the masculine energy in us all. The bronze statue 'Orpheus' by Astrid Zydower, is larger than life and stands in the grounds of Harewood House just outside Leeds, Yorkshire. Orpheus was the greatest musician and poet of Greek myth, whose songs could charm wild beasts and coax even rocks and trees into movement. His magnificence radiates from this image. I put together the image with sky recently taken in malta, the land of the divine feminine, there are so many temples to the goddess here, it compelled me to produce a "balancing" image

Millions of Americans watched in awe when reality TV star Kim Kardashian married New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries in a lavish made-for-TV wedding in August 2011. Kardashian filed for divorce just 72 days later, probably thinking that the couple's short marriage and iron-clad prenuptial agreement would mean a fast and easy divorce.
However, more than a year later, Kardashian and Humphries are still legally married as the case has inched along at a snail's pace. In a court appearance last week, Kardashian's attorney told the judge presiding over the case that her client feels "handcuffed" to her ex because the divorce is taking so long to settle.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard the second of three days of oral arguments on the fate of President Obama's health care law. A transcript of Tuesday's arguments, as prepared by the court, follows.
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: We will continue argument this morning in Case 11-398, the Department of Health and Human Services v. Florida.
General Verrilli. ORAL ARGUMENT OF DONALD B. VERRILLI, JR., ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS GENERAL VERRILLI: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:
Listen to any foreign-policy hand who's been in Washington long enough and you'll hear nostalgia for a time when politics stopped at the water's edge.
It was the idea that in the foreign-policy realm, it was best if Democrats and Republicans spoke as one.
At the very least, when an American president traveled abroad, the notion was his political opponents back home should desist from criticizing him was the thinking.
The death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen who was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, has sparked nationwide demonstrations and school walkouts. It has also prompted new conversations about race in America.
This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan in Washington.
CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS: We will continue argument this morning in Case 11398, the Department of Health and Human Services vs. Florida. General Verrilli...
DONALD VERRILLI: Mr. Chief Justice and may it please the court, the Affordable Care Act addresses a fundamental and enduring problem in our health care system and our economy.
Pat Summitt, head coach of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers and the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history, was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2011. As her 38th season concludes, Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins talks about suspicions that Summit won't return next year.
It's Tuesday and time to read from your comments. Last week, after a member of the U.S. military was accused of slaughtering civilians in Afghanistan, we talked about how the military assesses mental fitness. Eman(ph) wrote from Sunnyvale, California to say the entire discussion left him uneasy. I feel very uncomfortable with the shooter-as-victim narrative that seems to be running through the U.S. media's coverage of the Robert Bales case, he wrote.
In a sign that his campaign is in need of cash, Newt Gingrich began charging supporters $50 if they wanted him to pose for a picture.
The National Journal first reported the story, saying the campaign began the practice Monday.
Here's some of the early word about today's Supreme Court hearing on the constitutionality of the nation's new health care overhaul law:
-- Five Justices Were Tough: Five members of the court "beat him up pretty hard," NPR's Nina Totenberg says of how the justices treated the counsel representing the government. But she also says, "I don't think you can call this," when asked about whether the court will or won't strike down the so-called individual mandate in the law. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy "seem to be in play," Nina reports.
Today's arguments hit the core of the Affordable Care Act: the mandate that requires just about everyone to have health insurance starting in 2014.
And the U.S. Supreme Court's justices appeared split on whether the federal government can force people to buy health insurance. The court's conservatives appeared skeptical and unmoved by the government's arguments in favor of the mandate.
"The government had a hard time, and if they win, they win narrowly," NPR's Nina Totenberg reported from outside the court. "I don't think you can call this."
There's new information in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old Florida boy who was fatally shot by George Zimmerman last month. Zimmerman told police that Martin assaulted him, and a family spokesman confirms Martin was suspended from school at the time of his death. Guest host Jacki Lyden speaks with Miami Herald reporter Frances Robles.
