MMORPG.com is pleased to announce the winner of the 2008 Reader's Choice Award for Best New Game of 2008.
Of all of our categories, this one presented us with the tightest race between two nominees. Mythic's Warhammer Online and the ominous None of the Above category battled it out with WAR coming out on top with 33% of the vote. 3% more than None of the Above.

Managing Editor
Grats to WAR and the team at Mythic. I'm glad the "none of the above" didn't win... I'm really sick of all the complainers who ignore the fact that just because a game doesn't have everything and more they want, it doesn't mean it can't be a good game. There are a LOT of good games out there, and WAR definitely was the best new game of 2008.
I voted for Warhammer as the time I spent in the game was an absolute blast.
Congrats Warhammer!

Grats on eeking out a victory over None of the Above.
Congrats to WAR and Mythic! Even if it didnt have a perfect launch it still was a very polished and fun game that almost lived up to the hype.
Im looking forward to try the game again (to busy playing LotrO now)
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd

I totally agree!!! I too get sick of all the troll dung some people seem to be so obsessed with writing. It's like they are determined to be unhappy no matter what.
Anyway congrats to warhammer. I've never played the game but am watching it closely to see where mythic takes it.
I did not like the game, but it is still head and shoulders above the rest of the pack that was released this year. Congrats to Mythic.
Since we were voting on games and not necessarily the companies behind them, I am suprised that Age of Conan didn't fair better in the polls. Mythic is by far a much better company than Funcom, but Age of Conan was pretty much on par with everything WAR had to offer.
Congrats to WAR and Mythic and hopefully things pick up for them. I hope AoC's reviews don't deter Funcom too much from future MMO's or expansions. As much as I pounded on Funcom with complaints, AoC is still a good game.

Exactly. It's at a point where developers won't want to make games, b/c they are bashed no matter what.
Publishers won't back them, b/c they can't make them in 3 years, but with 5 years of content.
and that's sad. Sure, there are some downsides to all games, but gamers are harping on that shit so much, they're making their own genre crumble from the inside.
Gz to Mythic for a well deserved reward!
Tho the game is plagued by quite a few issues (some normal to new releases, some due to over-fussiness in design), it brings a lot of new good stuff into the mainstream mmo genre and it is playable and really enjoyable right out of the box.
While we have all been waiting for the next revolutionary game what we got is a nice new evolutionary step. Realistically, that is pretty much all we could have expected, considering the enormous production costs of AAA mmos - simply, this is not the way big corporations work. Let us be thankful that we've finally seen a AAA mmo that is PvP at its core... that's something, and not a small thing if you take into account the horrible "PvE quest or raid" paradigm that's been forced on big old MMOs from EQ onwards.
Imo, WAR is opening up new possibilities for future AAA mmos. It shows that PvP is not the boogey man those awful "free for all" grief-apocalypse attempts made it out to be. It is possible to create a popular, mainstream AAA mmo that is PvP oriented and which gives players a role (however limited) in shaping the world they share with other players. Developers, take heed - after WAR "hero's journey" MMOs are as good as dead and buried.
I voted for AoC, but gratz to WAR and Mythic.
WAR has it's good points, but the bugs and terribad PvE content annoyed me. I love the PvP leveling system and I'm definitely going to check WAR out again in the future.
Guys! I'm hopelessly lost in a mountain of mole hills! Them damn moles!
Gratz Mythic but.... I have to mention few things about the "none of the above" feature.
Alot of ppl voted for it. Hell - almost 1/3rd... Maybe thats not strange considering what some of these games had promised to deliver. None of them did deliver on what they promised.
What we learned most in the year 2008 is that new does not mean "massive". Both WAR and AOC talked about masive fights with 100s of ppl. Im not sure if AOC has 100s of ppl on their servers - but their Siege combat is defently nothing new when it comes to numbers. And WAR is now plauged with server crashes and lagfest in their RVR. The outcome is ... limit the number of players ....
So what we learned is that one huge part of what alot of ppl are after in MMO - Large scale battles are still not reality in the MMO world. Even if the entire game is stripped down to bare bones when it comes to graphical quality (like war has done) to try to acomplish lagfree battles... it ends up beeing all for nothing.
So... None of the above is the true "winner" of this reward. The thing is... Can there every be a best new MMO game ever again considering what the genre is turning into when it comes to new realeases ? Maybe we should rather vote on the most improved game 2 years after release from now on ? Sounds like more of a realistic aim than to hope for devs releasing anything other than empty promises that are then filled with bugs and problems when it comes down to it....

I wonder what would have happened if it was None of the Above.
SWG pre-cu vet, elder Jedi, elder BH -Bloodfin
Congrates to Warhammer as it was clearly the best new release! I'm amazed though with all the whiners on these posts that "none of the above" didn't win by a 75% margin, maybe there is hope for this board yet!
WTF WoW didnt win? they must have posted on thier forum to come and rig the vote!!!11111!!!
Finally,one I agree with grats war.
Most of the None of the Above were in fact AoC voters.
I played Destruction from clossed beta until a couple months into release. The game had/has great potential but I felt that Destruction was getting a short straw on every draw. The healers were outmatched compared to Order healers in the sense that Order healers are practically tanks and Destruction healers are soft. Other than that the game was beautiful and the quests were terrific. I might go back to it later this year, hopefully by then the unevenness will be gone. Congrats on the win Warhammer Online...
Even if I don't like the game (def. not a DAOC like for me): hate BG, PVE is boring but IMO this game had the best launch of the year ( GOA lol I know) in the world
Boring game , kind of small wow like but a playable game.
best addon MoM
Best MMO (easy choice between AOC and War release) War
Seems fine
(forget dfo it's a mistake)
GL to W(OW)AR
Congrats War! You deserve it.
I've been playing this game for awhile and love it. My first experience with PvP. Very fun. The "public quest" system is a great innovation too. The graphics are nice, and the learning curve has been about perfect for my taste.
I do have one bone to pick though, and it might be due to the fact that I'm a casual gamer. (Never had a character above 30 in the past 10 MMO's I've played = 2-3 hours a week.) But AoC being last. I thought the first twenty levels were phenomenal. I liked the day and night time quests. I enjoyed the story line, and the "grayness" of the subject matter. I thought the music was perfect, and the feel of the game was nice too. Perhaps there were issues (like PvP or after 30th lvl) that I'm ignorant about. But, to be below Atlantica Online - that's just silly. It was mature, better graphics, nice story arching. I just don't see it.
Back to Warhammer - Thank you for making a great game! Congrats.
Congrats to War and Mythic. Very well deserved

AoC , PotBS , and WAR are all examples to devs not to not make mmorpg's , they are examples for them of what not to do and should be looked at in such a light

Gratz Mythic. The game needs improving and fixing but still was the best in 2008 can be become one of the best MMOs in the market. So I hope Mythic keeps up the good work and improves this game to reach all it's potential.

let me see. which of these selection is less painful. stretched out fights! i hate watching something that is purely useless and takes away the feeling of the characters.
Stretched Fights
Don't know / Don't care
let me see. which of these selection is less painful. stretched out fights! i hate watching something that is purely useless and takes away the feeling of the characters.
i think the best choice are fillers!
you do not have to watch them and usually you do not miss anything interesting!
just a bit patience and better watching more interesting anime could always help!
the worst case are "Stretched Fights" because they make the anime boring if there are no fights but landscapes and people thoughts and talks!
too many conversations and landscapes during a fight make me sleep!
thats why the manga is way to far better than the anime!
And I would prefer stretched fights, only because they have some meaning, i.e. to show how difficult it is to defeat someone and make people understand that a powerful bad guy can't just have a weakness and be defeated, but it takes time and strategy.
If you have tried to perform a jutsu using hand seals and scrolls, paste this into your signature.
In all honesty I'd rather they just stop airing the show until its safe to start releasing episodes again. But seeing as how unrealistic that option is, I'd go with fillers. At least we don't have to watch fillers and can just wait for good episodes; whereas if the fights are extended they become boring and unoriginal and lowers the quality of the actual good canon episodes.
if they make fillers they souldn't do some crappy arc with an enemy that is (again) stronger than naruto (or everybody else), altough nobody knows him (and nobody of the known characters can die).
I like -one shots- (1 ep and the story is finished - like what they are doing with bleach at the moment) but that too is unrealistic because of the length of the arc's to come.
I didn't vote - i only watch naruto in addition to other anime ! I don't really care (but i love the manga)

Waiting would be far more tolerable than having to endure your favorite parts of the manga ruined, due to pace, extended talking etc (I'm looking at you Shippuuden) and some anime have pretty decent fillers anyway, Bleach - Bount Arc, and One Piece as a whole.
Seriously, fillers suck unconditionaly, just mention that it's a filler and you know it'll 98% of the time suck. I would pick most other options you'd place up there over a filler any day of the week. Though, stretched fights test my patience a little as well.
Why don't more people read these mangas?

Adorable shoes, but toe area is a bit weird
"Not sure if its just me being new to this type of shoe, but the front part where your toes go is super open/wide? I can strap my foot in, and yet still slip my toes out and almost over the front of the shoe. They do fit me length wise, so I assume they fit me..Other than that quirky thing, I do like the shoes. I bought them for my cousins wedding in November. The heel height is just perfect for all the events of the night without killing my feet. The bow is adorable, and the little rhinestone buckle is a nice touch.Overall, I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend them to a friend."

Mangatream said nothing until tomorrow on their website :(
Naruto is released every Monday in Japan. Why is it that some weeks we get to read the new chapter by Wednesday, and in other weeks as late as Friday.
I realise that it takes a team of dedicated volunteers to accomplish scanlation, and I am very thankful for them. I am just wondering why sometimes spoilers are out early, even with pictures, and at other times we hardly have anything to go by.
Since there are many groups out there promoting Manga on the web, is there a common bottle neck that causes delay for all of them at the same time?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I should think so.
Anyway I'm keeping my fingers crossed and eagerly waiting for 561

Currently planning war strategies at a tea party with Madara, Kabuto, Zetsu and Sasuke.
anyone here suspect a possible love triangle between madara, mito, and hashirama?
edit: also, i think i might've discovered a possible plot-hole.
we know from kabuto, that acquiring the dna of the person is necessary to bring back using the edo tensie technique; how could kabuto possibly have gotten a piece of nagato ot bring him back!?
i don't think the pain paths would suffice since it would have to be the dna of nagato to bring back nagato..
and it seems no one has had contact with the real nagato except for konan for several years.. and konan took nagato's body right after his sacrifice and hit him away. so when did kabuto retrieve nagato's dna!?
was it after his death? and if so, why not take his eyes. he already ressurected nagato before tobi before tobi himself acquired nagato's eyes..
so what's the deal? did he acquire nagato's dna before his death and was just waiting until he bit the dust?
kabuto himself said he had a very tough time collecting his, well, his collection lol, but i don't see how he was able to get nagato's dna...
maybe i'm missing something.

Two region victories last week have propelled the Emery High Lady Spartan basketball team into the first round of this year's 2-A Utah State playoffs on a high note. Emery defeated Grand 76-20 and San Juan 44-37 and will now enter the tournament as the region 15 second place team. Emery will open the tournament against Enterprise this Friday night at 8 p.m. at Snow College, the home of the first round.
All 2-A basketball teams will converge on Snow College this week to play the opening round. Games will start at 9 a.m. and continue all day with Emery playing in the final game of the day. Winners of games this day will advance to the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield the following Thursday to continue the tournament. Losers of games at Snow College will see their season come to a halt.
Emery and Enterprise met in the opening game of the season at the Sevier Valley Center with the Lady Spartans winning that game 47-37. Since that game, Enterprise has won 10 games and lost nine whereas the Lady Spartans have struggled in winning five more games while losing 11 in an up and down year. At times, the team looks really good and at other times, the team has struggled on the floor.
Against Grand, Emery got off to a great start against a team that simply isn't very good. Emery won the first quarter 23-0 as everything went the Spartans way but this kind of was expected. Emery won the second quarter 19-8 and led 42-8 at the half.
Because of the mismatch, Emery went deep into their bench in this game. Twelve different Spartan players scored in the game with junior Jeridi Price leading the way with 11 points and freshman Bailey Rasmussen next with 10 points.
Emery won the third quarter 18-7 and the final period 16-5 in the blowout win. Also scoring in the game were Hannah Dyer and Sidnee Conder with nine points each, Kim Oldroyd and Blayr Jeffs with seven points each, Shelby Allred scored six points, Laurel Roundy scored five points, Ashton Bell scored four points, Ashlynn Allred and Cassidy Labrum each scored three points. Kelsie Cox closed out the scoring with two points.
Emery hosted San Juan Friday night and used a big fourth quarter to claim the win. Emery outscored the Broncos 18-8 in the final quarter to grab the lead and win the game. The game was actually won in the closing minutes with Emery playing well to claim the win.
Jeridi Price led the team with 19 points, with 11 rebounds and with four steals. Price came through with a good game to help propel the team to the win.
Blayr Jeffs scored eight points, Kim Oldroyd scored six points, Ashlynn Allred scored five points, Hannah Dyer scored four points and Laurel Roundy scored two points. Emery will close out the regular season with a game against Wasatch this Tuesday night in Heber City.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Jesse Grandy has returned kicks, returned punts – lots of them – for two schools.
Saturday he returns to Ole Miss, and he's pretty excited about.
Grandy, a Pine Bluff, Ark., native, was a wide receiver and solid special teams performer on the 2009 and 2010 Houston Nutt teams before transferring to Central Arkansas.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We could have opened up the schedule with anybody. We could play New Mexico or somebody in New Hampshire. It's a chance for me to go back and see a lot of old friends and have a small, little reunion," Grandy said.
Grandy left to be closer to home. Nutt said Grandy was dealing with family health concerns in Feb. 2011, the time of his departure.
Grandy quickly made his mark on special teams at Ole Miss. He averaged 25.7 yards on kick returns as a freshman, and as a sophomore Grandy was third in the SEC with an average of 14.7 yards on punt returns.
He never made the same impact from the line of scrimmage, but that's changed in Conway, Ark.
Grandy was second-team All-Southland Conference in 2011, leading the Bears with 49 catches for 788 yards and nine touchdowns.
He also rushed nine times for 49 yards.
"I think Jesse has matured a lot over the last year," UCA coach Clint Conque said. "We did have to teach him on the run last year. He had a good spring and he's had a good camp."
The UCA passing game is a bit of an unknown this season as the Bears replace All-American quarterback Nathan Dick, a University of Arkansas transfer, with more mobile Wynrick Smothers.
The Bears will have four new starters on the offensive line, but the lone returnee, 6-foot-3, 295-pound left tackle Dominique Allen, was all-conference last year.
Jackie Hinton, one of three senior running backs, rushed for 673 yards and four touchdowns in 2011.
Grandy doesn't get caught up in what might have been had he remained in the SEC.
"It was a pretty good experience. I played good. I did a couple of good things," he said. "It helped me get to this point where I'm at right now."

Are you trying to find your roots? If you're running into some brick walls with your genealogical research, or just don't know how to get started, this guide should be helpful to you.
Is African American genealogical research different from other ethnic backgrounds? You bet it is! Because slaves were considered property, they were prohibited from reading, writing, attending school, legally marrying, owning land, owning a business, voting, and participating in many other activities that generate records on which much genealogical research is based.
Citizenship was granted in 1868 to slaves, an action that had an impact on records like letters, diaries, wills, census records, land deeds, voter registrations, and school records.
However, like people of that time, written documents were sometimes segregated. These records might be kept in separate files or listed in the back of record books. Finding aids may also have these complications. For example, many military records of African Americans are indexed separately.
Finally, African American genealogy and history has not been widely researched. When Alex Haley wrote his best-selling book Roots, many people began to question their elders about their past and research their own family histories. But this has only occurred in the most recent past. There's a lot of history to try to catch up with!
Genealogy uses documents and records to verify the dates and locations of events such as births, deaths, and marriages. Family history is the story of what ancestors did when they were alive.
Start with yourself and work backwards. Write down where and when you were born. If you've been married, list that as well. Make sure you have documents such as your birth and marriage certificates.
Most birth certificates list the mother and father, where they were born, and how old they were at the time of the birth. That's your next step. You can start with your mother's or your father's side. Collect all of their documents.
Each state has a vital records office, which will give you copies of documents for a fee. You can continue to research this way until you can no longer locate the documents you need.
Does this mean you're done? Not at all! It just means that you're ready to use other sources to continue your search.
Try to write your own autobiography. Start with yourself and work backwards, writing everything you know about your parents, grandparents, and so forth. Interviewing the elders in your family is always helpful. Ask them what they can remember about what life was like when they were younger, and about the ancestors they remember.
Find family papers, records, photos, and souvenirs. Make sure to write on the backs of photos who the people are on the front. If you know when the photo was taken, write that, too, and of course if it's a specific occasion, such as a birthday or graduation or baptism.
The following are some sources of records to use after 1870:
Things get more difficult prior to 1868, but it doesn't mean there aren't ANY records. You will want to try to:
Focuses on preparing reader to conduct a well-organized search. Includes didactic case studies from a renowned researcher of African American genealogy (the author) and other researchers, and many images of sample genealogical documents with feedback on how to make use of them.
Beginning chapters describe how to conduct prep work and make use of historical governmental records; middle chapters highlight relevant customs (e.g. naming practices) and information available through research of slaveholder families; and ending chapters are didactic case studies.
A highly detailed how-to-manual that provides readers a historical and cultural context. Points out typically overlooked records, how to assess validity of records, and provides case studies, images and diagrams, and related topics (e.g. family reunions, publication of findings, etc.).

The Roman Made Trick Lipless Swimbaits are handcrafted and hand-tuned one-by-one in Roman Made's facility near Lake Biwa. Designed for luring bass in the 30-inch and larger range, each bait takes approximately 12 hours to make. The result of a lifetime of studying bass and their forage, as well as, applying the principles of movement and water displacement, there is a reason Roman Made Swimbaits are so sought after in Japan and the world over. The Tricks' double-jointed construction gives them an incredibly lifelike swimming motion, and no matter how fast you burn them, they don't get out of control and roll up on their side. Beautifully crafted and extremely difficult to find, the Roman Made Trick Swimbaits are now available at Tackle Warehouse - while supplies last.

Comments: This lure has great action. The bad part is and maybe I just got a bad one but the paint is coming off. I made some cast with it the other day in open water and noticed a chunk of paint the size of a dime missing from the mid section. Sent a photo of it to Roman Made and they said they had some that had this problem and to send it back and they would send me another once they got some back in stock but for the mean time to keep fishing it. I threw it some more yesterday and more paint is chipping off in different areas. This lure is made of wood and it looks like it did not have a primer applied before the paint was put on. My opinion is for the price this cost, they should send me a replacement without me having to go to the trouble and hassle of paying to ship one back.
Comments: Nice bait, balanced, no problems with hooks, eyes, tail or hinges. Excellent dock bait. You can wake it no problem. Keep them in my plano box... no problem with heat. I do like the US colors way better than the JDM colors. I will be getting another soon before my Clear Lake trips this year. Good vid also.
From: Paul: Central CA
Comments: Ok I got this bait from Japan before TW or Tackletour. The bait rocks. I have two of them and have had no problems fish them under many conditions. They scratch but thats character as far as I am concerned. Great tourney bait.
From: Mike: TX
Comments: I have thrown the other big name baits half of them work half dont. I can say this is a great bait once the water warms. If you stop your retrieve and then 1/4 turn the reel handle bait comes alive. Other baits you pause the retrieve and they sink no action. Wicked action with little retrieve, excellent paint schemes and completely different lure from whats out there. They need a bigger version.
From: Nick: LA
Comments: Solid smart bait had several friends throwing them not saying much, now I know why. The bait doesnt fall to the bottom of the drain with no action. You barely turn the reel handle and the bait comes alive. Well thoughtout JDM lure with amazing color schemes. I had absolutely no problems... very reliable and consistent lure. Fishing Clear Lake, So Cal lakes and the Delta with it. I will be posting some big fish pictures.
From: Delta Rat: Calif USA
Comments: Don't leave it out in the heat because the tail comes un-glued.
From: Dr. Pepper
Comments: Dude love this bait. I have a collection of many top dollar swimbaits. This bait is better than swimbaits I have thrown in the 70.00 to 100.00 range
From: Steve: USA
Comments: I have most every bait made by the top manufacturers. This bait has a different different look. I played with retrieves and found some cool movement. The bait didn't crump or collasp and it settled well when dead stickn it. Cool innovation, cool action, havent caught anything over 8 on it. But still trying
From: Jerry: USA
Comments: great looking lure,good show piece,but the action isnt what i thought it would be,not for $80,at this price ill stick with a rago or jsj.
From: Steveo: USA
Comments: Hey we've (friends) have thrown this bait and it swims great, a very balanced bait. If you stop the retrieve it doesn't fold up. It slowly decends forward. sic bait!
From: D: Ojai, CA
Comments: I have several of these and love them. They swim better than I thought. They are killer for freestyling your retrieves.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Add Dallas and Mayor Mike Rawlings to the list of those panning a Texas Department of Transportation proposal to transfer maintenance of select state highways to local governments.
Rawlings and Dallas City Council Member Vonciel Jones Hill wrote to TxDOT Executive Director Phil Wilson on Thursday that the city "strenuously opposes" the plan to hand over control of 1,900 miles of roads to urban cities and counties across Texas.
The extra maintenance costs for those affected local governments would total $165 million a year statewide. And the Dallas officials said in the letter to Wilson that the plan was "unfair" and "leans heavily toward double taxation."
"This proposal will save taxpayers no money since it merely shifts costs from one branch of government to another," Rawlings and Hill wrote. "Taxpayers would not pay less. Their money would simply be spent at a different level of government."
Fort Worth and the Texas Municipal League have also publicly voiced their dislike of the proposal. And Texas Transportation Commissioner Victor Vandergriff, an Arlington businessman, said he has reservations about the idea.
Vandergriff and four other transportation commissioners will discuss the proposal at an Aug. 29 meeting in Austin. No action will be taken then, and TxDOT officials have stressed that they merely want to begin a conversation on possible cost-cutting measures.
The general idea is that many state farm-to-market roads and highways have evolved into city streets that serve local traffic. TxDOT has identified about 100 miles of roads in Dallas that meet that criteria and are being considered for the "turnback" program.
TxDOT officials have said those roads might be better served under city or county control. And Wilson has noted that the local governments would then have the final say over things like driveway access, speed limits and maintenance schedules.
Rawlings and Hill acknowledged that potential -- under certain circumstances -- in their letter to Wilson. The officials pointed out that Dallas already took control of a portion of Irving Boulevard, but only so the city could determine design features on a larger project.
"ln that case, Dallas' acquisition of the highway was the most efficient use of funds," they wrote. "Such would not be the case with multiple urban State highways imposed upon Dallas through the "Turnback" program."

The unlawful sexual association of men and women. Although adultery generally refers to sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her spouse, in the scriptures it may also refer to the unmarried.
Sometimes adultery is used as a symbol for the apostasy of a nation or a whole people from the ways of the Lord (Num. 25:1–3; Ezek. 16:15–59; Jer. 3:6–10; Hosea 4).

How The Leafs Have Shifted Asset Allocation for 2013-14
Blake Murphy
July 31 2013 11:37AM
As you may have heard ad nausem throughout the offseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs have made some interesting decisions with respect to salary cap management for the 2013-14 season. With many of their best value deals coming up for raises by way of the restricted free agency process, the Leafs now find themselves short on bargain deals that helped them find success without just out-spending other teams.
This summer, though, Dave Nonis hasn't been tight with the purse strings - he bought out Mikhail Grabovski and Mike Komisarek, he opened up the cheque book for Tyler Bozak and David Clarkson, and he's had RFAs receive more than the anticipated amount.
All of that adds up to leave the Leafs in a precarious cap situation, with just under $5M left to sign both Nazem Kadri and Cody Franson (spoiler: not happening). So, with a different cap situation and a few changes to the roster, I wanted to look at how the Leafs have shifted their allocation of assets.
Before the changes are examined, it's worth looking at how the Leafs maximized cap space last year. The graph below shows the amount of available minutes a player played versus the amount of cap space he took up. In an economic equilibrium (with proper player deployment from the coaching staff), these would line up in a clear pattern whereby salary is commensurate of minutes (and minutes would be indicative of overall performance). Given the realities of the league - namely, the bargains that are most entry level contracts - that's not the case.
As you can see, the Leafs had a few outliers at a high cost without many minutes played (Komisarek being the most obvious and Joffrey Lupul standing out due to injuries). There are also some extreme bargains, players who played major roles at a low cost (Bozak, Franson and Mark Fraser).
What sticks out as interesting when comparing salary structure between this year and last year is that the Leafs are actually increasing spending on useful players despite the cap going down. The Leafs paid $7.87M in cap space to buyouts, retained salary and buried salary in 2012-13. At the start of this year, that number is "just" $2.5M. The Leafs were also about $6M under the cap last season. Basically, while the cap went down by about $6M, the Leafs still had about $5M more to spend on actual contributors. And they used it.
The Leafs have essentially spent all of that additional money to upgrade their second line and second pairing. The salaries of their top centre, wing pair, defense pair and goalie has only risen from $27.3M to $28.1M, while the cost of their third and fourth lines, final pairing, back up goalie and reserves has dropped from $17.1M to $16.8M. It's the second line and second pair where the jump is noticeable, as those five players have risen in cost from $11.5M to $17.3M. (And again, these line designations are based on salary alone, not the expected depth chart.)
Despite the Leafs paying the same in "salary" this year, their cap space and flexibility is much smaller thanks to the decline in the salary cap.
I should note that for the purposes of displaying a "full" roster, I have assigned Kadri and Franson a $2.5M value each, a number that is probably far too low but pushes the team to the cap. Obviously, if both are to be signed other moves are required, but this works for our purposes here.
From the graph above, it's clear the Leafs are spending more across the board. However, as mentioned, there is almost zero room for flexibility. The "depth" figure refers to salary paid beyond 12 forwards and seven defensemen. The Leafs are banking on either not needing much depth from the AHL or being able to find cheap depth - players only come off the cap if they are injured for a long period - as they have little wiggle room to add, say, Morgan Reilly ($1.74M cap hit including deferred bonuses) in the event a defenseman is banged up.
I'll throw one more graph up that tells us even less but is still interesting. The graph below is the same as the previous one, just broken down by specific role. This is based on salary, not actual deployment, so, for example, Jake Gardiner is not a D1 or D2 (instead, Phaneuf and John-Michael Liles are).
Particularly looking at the centres, it's clear that Grabovski is gone and Bozak is a cheaper "first line center" (in name only) while the team is now paying more for a "second line center" (Dave Bolland), although Kadri's eventual price tag will change how this looks. On defense, the Leafs are paying more across the board once you get past Phaneuf and Liles, as every defense spot has gotten a raise. Both goalie positions have also spiked.
Again, none of this is new. The cap crunch the Leafs face has been discussed plenty, and the discussion is far from over. The Leafs have several moves left to make, whether they be trades or signings of their RFAs or both. This will look different by the start of the season.
But the fact remains that all of the changes this offseason have brough have put the Leafs right up against the cap with no easy way out. This whole exercise also speaks to the value of having a steady pipeline of young, controllable talent to fill spots when players get too expensive, something the Leafs are lacking a bit this year compared to last.
More rock solid and hard proof that Nonis needs to go
Not sure if it was implied, but Rielly's cap hit with the big club will only be 925k. The rest will go to the bonus cushion where the Leafs have tons of room. Somewhat moot, I guess, since he will only get the usual tryout.
What scares me most is that the Leafs have so many players becoming free agents after next season and needing raises (similar to this year). I hope they make some noise this season, because a year from now this team will be in shambles and there will be a lot of disappointed fans.
Gardiner comes out of EL meaning his 825k cap hit is a thing of the past with no bonus option. He'll demand good money. Franson, assuming he resigns on a 2 or 3 year is going to cost double what he did last year, Phaneuf will likely look for the same money. Kessel will likely get 1.5+ more. Then there is Reimer who has essentially been given his walking papers due to all this. Forget retaining him at this point.
August 01 2013, 05:15AM
I think the Leafs are banking on a rising cap ceiling into the next off-season, which would explain some of their signings and willingness to put themselves between a rock and a hard place.
But that's incredibly risky as stated above about their pending UFAs for 2014.
August 01 2013, 05:43AM
Here's another way to frame the challenge, Blake. Why not treat what you deem flexibility as "unused capacity?" Any manager who does not optimize his or her capacity, especially in a market (like ours) that is crying out for a competitive team, is not doing their job. What Nonis is doing is rational. We might query some of the tactics, esp about Grabbo's contract. But the strategy of soaking up excess capacity under the cap is exactly the same one being pursued by successful managers around the league (Pittsburgh, Boston, Detroit....), with the main exception of Ottawa.
There's a much broader problem at work. If every manager pursues the same strategy, they collectively handicap each other because they drive up the price of the very assets they are managing -- which is what (1) created the need for the cap in the first place and (2) leads to structurally-induced lockouts, which has become the addictive model of "market correction" in professional hockey.
So, Blake, the cap will go up -- it has to, because so many managers are pursuing the same strategy as Nonis. This will mean that the strategy works in the medium run. But predicts another lockout when the CBA expires.
If Nonis were tofollow your preferential strategy, the Leafs would bathe in excess capacity, aka flexibility. But so what, if the rest of the teams in the league play by different rules? We'll wind up with another wimpy team, loads of cash, and no way to forestall another market correction.
If you are going to fault anything, it's the way that managers solve their collective action problems.
What does the "wasted" category entail? It seems to me that's something you can't be sure of until after the season.
@Jeremy Ian
Agreed. To my point above though, I think when spending to the cap, strong consideration should be given to the current standing and maturity of the team with a "what comes next" mentality. If you're not looking beyond the season at hand and you aren't a top 4 contender with a great shot at a cup, you could really be putting yourself in a hole.
I see this happening right now with the Leafs. They are about a year early on hemorrhaging their money. This is noting that their top scorer, best defenceman, #2 defenceman and best young defenceman need more money next year (perhaps Phaneuf will stand pat). I think Clarkson will be great, but I worry that his indirect 5.25m cost is already a problem and will only look worse next offseason.
Timing is everything.

Team 1260: a good one gone
Robin Brownlee
July 27 2009 08:31PM
Guys who've been around the media game as long as Bryn Griffiths see moves like what transpired today coming -- Griffiths was fired by Astral Media -- but that doesn't make it easy to swallow.
Griffiths, sports director at TEAM 1260 since the first minute the station hit the airwaves back in June of 2002, is taking his walking papers in stride, but I'd expect nothing less. That doesn't mean I like it.
I can't help but feel that Griffiths, who helped grow TEAM 1260 under boss Marty Forbes and served as co-host of More On Sports with Jake Daniels until Daniels was let go this spring, deserved better.
Whether you laughed at his morning shtick with Daniels or thought it was remarkably lame -- hardcore sports types voted for the latter -- it's never a good day when another veteran sports guy loses his job. Been there. Done that. It's no fun.
"This is probably the most prepared I've ever been for a dismissal," Griffiths said. "There were little things that started to happen over the last year or so... Jake's dismissal, I didn't want to be a part of.
"When you work with somebody closely, that has to be done by higher-ups, not by you or else you've got blood on your hands."
With long-time co-host Daniels gassed by Astral Media in the wake of disappointing numbers in recent ratings periods, what unfolded today at a west end restaurant was of no great shock to Griffiths. Radio, like the newspaper biz, is a numbers game. If they don't add up...
"I was never involved in the process of finding a guy to replace Jake," Griffiths said. "I wasn't consulted, which is a good indicator of the fact you're out of the loop. I'd pretty much figured it out for the most part."
Word is, TEAM 1260 has hired a young broadcaster out of Fort McMurray and will add another voice out to take over the morning slot to complement the rest of its programming.
While some people will say "good riddance" over Griffiths' firing, just as they did with Daniels, he deserves better than that.
As a guy with input as sports director but never the final word or control of the budget, Griffiths deserves credit for trying to make TEAM 1260 a viable alternative to 630 CHED, which is never easy to do when taking on a rights holder with the keys to the big games in town, the Oilers and the Eskimos.
It was Griffiths who pushed to bring in Bob Stauffer in the days when nobody outside of family and friends knew who he was. Griffiths and Stauffer hatched Total Hockey in 2002, which morphed into Total sports and produced the best numbers TEAM 1260 has ever had. Stauffer got his shot because Griffiths was willing to roll the dice on him.
"Anytime somebody in the business gets let go you feel for them," Stauffer said. "I don't think the average sports fan realizes all the challenges Bryn was facing in his role.
"On a personal level, Bryn certainly was a major supporter of mine and I'm indebted to him for providing me with the opportunity he did."
Stauffer, of course, made Griffiths look pretty smart before he left to join 630 CHED as analyst to play-by-play man Rod Phillips.
"Bryn and Marty Forbes were my biggest boosters," Stauffer said. "Bryn helped get my career to the next level. For that, I'll be forever grateful."
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on Team 1260.
What is this world coming to? Who's going to tell me I'm nuts on the way to work now?
Goodbye Bryn, I for one will miss you.
It is really sad to see this happen.
I'm a TEAM 1260 daily listener. I've been a fan of the station since i first stumbled upon it by accident around NFL draft time in 2003, while I was under the influence of a certain plant that grows in the dirt. I liked the morning show, TS, JAG, Rome, and the ESPN shows.
It was more than disappointing when ESPN radio was replaced by FOX during the fill-in time in between the local shows. I'm really starting to wonder what is happening to this station.
I didn't like it when Jake Daniels was replaed. AJJ has been okay so far, whenever a new voice comes over the airwaves, it takes a while to warm up to them.
I'm really suprised Bryn was let go. Does this mean AJ stays and they run a 3-headed morning team? I don't want to say i wont listen anymore, but it's going to be tough to do for a while.
It's one thing if Bryn left for greener pastures like Stauffer, but this is really sad news.
Before the Team 1260 I hated sports talk radio. I truly don't understand why The Team hasnt taken a bigger chunk out of the 630 CHED audience. Even great broadcasters like Stauffer cant save CHED progamming from coming off as stale. I just want Bryn to know that the 'failure' in the ratings had nothing to do with having an inferior product. To be honest, I have no idea why people prefer to listen to Tencer/Hullsey over Stauffer/Greggor or why more people flock to the CHED postgame show. Thanks for the great entertainment Bryn.
AJ is temp by the sounds of it. Sorry AJ, you need to brush up on your Edmonton history a bit. I find he comes off a bit to harsh, and not informed enough to sound off. Well, well see how bad the numbers crash when the new guy hits the waves. LOL :) They always do, when you start something new. I just wish Astral would fire that moron Paul Brown. He is aweful. Yukon, and Julian make that show work.
Hey Robin,
You should have put your name in for the back up guy for the morning show.

Hey Robin,

I've certainly never been a big fan of the morning show but that was more Jake than Brynn. Brynn had a really tough job off-air and I don't envy that.
Getting a station up and running to battle CHED is reason enough to say thanks and all the best in the future.
Lets really be honest, Edmonton's local radio stations suck. Thank god for Satellite Radio, JAG and Team's postgame snow
I'm still loyal to 1260 because of Gregor and Cory Graham's 9-midnight show.
They take a lot of calls, which to me is far and away the best part of sports talk radio. Guys like Robin, and Ryan Rishaug have more freedom than the guys who guest on the rights holders.
I really liked Stauffer's show, but Gregor doesn't cover very much university and college sports, and that only leaves more time to talk Oilers and Eskimos which are far and away 1-2 in town. We can read the papers for Uni/College news, in my opinion it doesn't belong on the airwaves unless listeners want to call and talk about it.
All the best to a class act, and good on you for writing this Robin.
July 27 2009, 09:44PM
imo a sports morning show will probably never work in this city because like myself people watch their highlights b4 bed or in the morning and listen 2 the news for traffic updates on the way 2 work.
having said that bryn had a pretty good show without jake and ill miss it.
good luck in your future endevours bryn.
I respect what Bryn has done for sports in Edmonton via TEAM1260. I wish him well.
Any word on who the replacement(s) will be? I'm guessing AJ for a bit?

Well said. Every station, no matter how high or low the ratings, has challenges to carve out a niche: budgets, growing pains, the brutal economy over the past year. I wrote an item a few months back that I want to see TEAM 1260 succeed because it's nice to see competition for 630 CHED, even if it's not a really fair fight right now. I still feel that way, but I'm not so sure losing an exprienced guy like Bryn is going to make the roster or the competition stronger.
I have not listened to the Morning show since school finished, but I will miss listening to Bryn in the mornings while driving the kids to school in the fall. I hope his replacement is good, because otherwise I have no idea what I will listen to for that hour in the morning from 8-9.
Good Luck to Bryn, I hope he lands another job soon, he deserves it!
Good luck Bryn! I didn't always like the puns, but he always had the guts to play devils advocate.
I hope the tall foreheads at Astral don't expect the TEAM to overtake CHUD in the ratings book. They would have to pony-up and become the rights-holders for both the Eskimos and Oilers to even have a chance. All sports talk radio simple caters to too small an audience (although more local programming would help, THIS MEANS YOU BROWNLEE!)
I can't believe Griffiths got fired before Tencer!
Being in Calgary, I didn't listen alot but I hate to see anyone kicked to the curb.
But, as they say: "it's hard to keep a good man down".
July 27 2009, 10:29PM
I feel for Bryn... sounds like how my day unfolded, minus the restaurant.
All the best to him in his efforts to find a great new job and coworkers.
Good thing I no longer have a morning commute with the radio on,... I'll miss his bad jokes.
July 27 2009, 10:48PM
Wow. That is really sad. I hope he finds something else soon. A talent like him should be back on the airwaves somewhere soon.
July 27 2009, 10:48PM
I don't feel positive vibes for the future of the Team. For some reason the blue hairs (and there are increasingly more blue hairs) keep listening to the insanity that is Hall, Rutherford, etc....lord knows why.
I would think its days are numbered...Fox Sports is horrible (though they should try to get Dan Patrick instead of Jim Rome's repetitive foolishness), whoever the moron traffic guy they got (do they actually pay this guy?)
Combine that with no rights to anything...amateurish technical work (how many times on the weekend is there dead air....two shows overlapping at the same time?)...'high quality' sponsors like the racist awning ads..I'm afraid the experiment might be nearly over.
July 27 2009, 10:51PM
Hastening to add...
Good luck to you Bryn, you had a frickin' tough job, and did it damn well.
@ RobFormerlyInALab:
Shit, Rob, sorry to hear about your bad news. Damn, things aren't great in the OilersNation, are they?
Shout out to Rob. Shout out to Bryn. I can see it now... Katz decides to get into the radio biz. Oilers rights, Oil Kings rights, Bryn, Bob, Robin, Tencer, Gregor... The Team 1260 is a sinking ship.
July 27 2009, 11:03PM
So as Bryn is now a free agent how long before Oilersnation makes a bid to get him on board?
Too bad. Sounds like Bryn was the victim of cost-cutting 101. Jack the experienced, expensive guy for a new young guy at half the price. Been there, hated that. The day a company jettisons good talent for a cheaper junior means that company is not too far off from bankruptcy 101. That or they have no respect for talent at all and think some punk is going to be able to carry on with no noticeable production quality loss.
~Yeah. Good luck with that.~

Yes, and Robin F*cking Brownlee is busy changing Sam's diapers about the time the morning show starts. My radio delivery is questionable enough without that gagging sound I make in the mix.
Purely for laughs! :) I was wondering when someone was going to point that comment out...
I am also sorry to hear about Bryn. He had a tough job in a tough market. When you aren't the rights holder you are at an immediate disadvantage but I think he did a commendable job. I am sure that he will land on his feet somewhere new.
@ RobFormerlyInALab:
You hang in there too Rob. That's brutal.
Best of Luck Bryn
Jake Daniels was absolute garbage. Dumb, didn't know much about sports, wasn't even a legit hardcore fan, was an all around embarrassment.
Bryn was as solid as they come. I don't think there are many radio listening community who will agree or approve of his firing. Two totally different people and on air personalities.
Gonna miss Bryn, was the only reason I listened to the morning show. Very knowledgeable guy, and also a very good person. Peace to you Bryn and wish you nothing but the best on your travels.
*many in the radio listening community
Hey Robin, this may sound really rude, but what do you do for a living now a days to pay the bills, since you're not interested in a radio job or anything?
He may not be the worlds most versatile or die hard sports personality but he was a good guy, always responded to my emails (probably two dozen or so in the first 3 years banging the monkey for an online stream of the radio station) and posted on HF giving us as updates and info from the Team. And yes, he did bring in Stauffer which was great during 1260s hayday. Its too bad the station has slumped lately and hasn't had better personalities to take over some shows, or a bigger budget to hire new guys.
Thanks Bryn, good luck with future ventures.
Best of luck to you Bryn. He hasnt sounded like his heart was in it for the last couple of weeks. I thought he did some great coverage leading up to Indy. He damn near had me giving a crap about that race.
Astral better have a decent plan in place. If the person making these decisions is the same one running the ad dept., the station is screwed.

Who said I'm not interested in doing radio? Unless I get run, too, I'm happy doing Thursdays with Jason G. I write for Canadian Press and ON and cover the Oilers and Esks for Edmonton Metro.
July 28 2009, 07:57AM
But I can't say I'm surprised. I thought that Bryn would leave on his own though, after his demotion. All the best Brynster.
I'd say that this is the beginning of the end...but that seems to have been when Marty Forbes left. I, for one, need more personality from the hosts if I'm going to listen on a regular basis. Jake wasn't perfect but it was something I could listen to everyday. Bryn understood this and could play the part when needed.
I hope you all like 'Quinn the Eskimo' and 'Ferry Cross the Mersey'....because it won't be long until those songs are heard every hour on 1260, like they used to be.
It's a sad day... I've always wondered how a station like 630 CHED could hang on to any share of the sports market, especially back in the hay day when Stauffer was still on the TEAM. I'm sure it's due to 630 CHED being the rights holders. I've always been a big TEAM honk and tried to spread the word. I'll still listen every day in the office, and I hope this change will bring some positive change and bring in some great sports personalities to edmonton.

Huh!!!! You obviously didnt listen or know why Bryn and Jake were a team.
And Im not gonna explain all the details now. Bryn and Jake as a team were exceptional .... one of those situations where the sum is greater than the parts. One was the hardcore sports media guy and the other just an average Joe like all of us on the Nation.
When Jake got his walking papers I was a little bummed out and felt that the AJ/Bryn show was kinda boring cause they are the same personality types. But alas it proved to be only transitional as the news of the day proves.
Bryn did have a tough gig as the morning on-air guy and the director.
And from a personal view the schtick routines that Bryn and Jake did were often the best part...(hated the replay from Gregor the day before btw> I have listened to Richards from the FAN960 a significant amount and he is solid and has lots of gimmicky goofy stuff on his show. Dont know about the rest of your but I get enough serious world stuff during my day at work so a recap of the previous days scores is redundant cause Ive already heard it and Im more interested in the lighter side of sports which is what mornings are all about. Think about the non-sports talk shows...they dont bring the serious political or controversial topics on-line in the morning...its mid day or primetime.

Richads isn't funny!!! I live in Calgary, unfortunately, and I never listen to the Fan 960. I understand the Edmonton jokes and am fine with that its all part of the rivalry between the 2 cities, but the guy isn't funny. I guess he appeals to all the big headed, mouth breathers in Calgary. I, on the other hand, would take Bryn and Jake anyday of the week over that hack. I mean Jake's joke was funnier than anything Richards did, and I hope both land on there feet.
Jake was absolutely awful on the morning show. I don't know how it lasted so long with him. He was dynamite on Drivetime with Matt Mauler, but the Calgary-hating every-man thing just didn't connect with the hardcore hockey fan audience. How many times can you blindly demand that the Oilers pay Scotty Bowman $10 million to coach? Even Bob McKenzie was getting tired of it.
Bryn was great and obviously didn't have a lot to work with, and it's too bad to see him go. I'm sure he'll be fine, but mornings just won't be the same for a while.
I can't see the team ever dropping Rome. It's the highest rated sports show in the US, and they'd be stupid to drop it.

Uhmmm. No...'Jake's Joke' was from a joke book (or submitted by people who swiped them from a joke book). We call that the (rest his soul) Wes Montgomery school of funny.
Jake was what he was - and a bad decision by Bryn at the time - but Jake's joke was that time I switched the station to catch the business report on CBC. At the same time, playing clips from old SNL after Jake left, was MUCH better.
Just out of curiosity who is the Team 1260's biggest competition? Either you listen to sports or you listen to the news on 630 ched.
Robin, I agree, I think that you should throw your hat in the ring for the morning show. You are a super knowledgeable sports guy and offer insights that most of these guys can't. I would love it if you were on the air more. I also think that Ryan Rishaug is a pretty interesting guy to listen to, he just seems to "get it".
As for AJJ, I honestly can't even listen to that guy. He is an absolute malcontent.

CHED has the hammer with rights on the Oilers and Esks and Inside Sports with Tencer is particularly strong in the evenings.

Couldnt agree more. I drive to Calgary for business quite often and am amazed at how unfunny Richards is. You are exactly right, he caters to the mouthbreathing cretins.
@ Robin Brownlee: So it was the evening shows that were losing the ratings?
I can't stand CHED the guys are too much of homers and have no opinions. At least on the TEAM 1260 I get to hear opinions and not just of one or two hosts, everyday there is another co-host.

There is no "ring" to throw my hat into. My understanding is the hires have already been made for the morning show. Guys like Rishaug and I are on because hosts like Gregor and Stauffer see value in having experienced people bringing what they know to their shows. I'm not a radio guy, I'm a sportswriter so I'm not nearly as polished as a trained broadcaster. At the same time, I think it's clear that experienced print guys have something to offer on the air despite the odd "ums and ahs" that come with the delivery.

youre crazy. move to another "small market" city and youll find out fast how much better the Team is for letting people have actual dialog with the listeners. around my parts, you get about 5-10 seconds maximum before youre cutoff and the Talking Heads start to entertain themselves while youre cut off. the Team is REALLY generous with their callers and it makes the content during hockey season or busy days way better than a huge percentage of sports talk outlets relative to what their main market is.
you want to talk football in Wisconsin? get ready to make a 5-10 second complaint before youre cut off completely and never get to respond to what the proto-Fascist Ass Jockey has to say stroking his mic/ego/dong.
I liked Jake and I liked Bryn and I'm not happy to see either one get let go but I would like to throw my hat in the ring as one of the fans who appreciates the lighter side of sports and enjoys hearing radio hosts who can bring that to the table.
Certainly it's good to discuss the issues and (god forbid we ever stop) the hockey team but i like the shows like Jim Rome and the FOX/Espn programming (remember the old days of The Herd and Dan Patrick, siiiiigggh) because they have an entertainment edge to them. I think that's what 1260 doesn't have enough of.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Presides Over Ninth Annual Prayer Service for the U.N. Community
Document Actions
Oct 27, 2009
NEW YORK – Last evening, Monday, October 26, His All Holiness, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew presided over the Ninth Annual Orthodox Prayer Service for the United Nations Community, at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Cathedral, the traditional site when the service is hosted by an Eastern Orthodox Church. The Ecumenical Patriarch was accompanied to the Service by Metropolitan Geron Athanasios of Chalcedon, Metropolitan Emmanuel of France, Metropolitan Ambrosios of Korea, and clergy and lay leaders of the Church of Constantinople.
This Service is sponsored annually by the Joint Commission of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA) and the Standing Conference of the Oriental Orthodox Churches of America (SCOOCH).
His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America welcomed His All Holiness and the assembled Hierarchs, Clergy, Ambassadors and Dignitaries of the UN Diplomatic Corps and laity to the Cathedral, which was filled to overflowing. Over 70 clergy of the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches were in attendance. The Choir of St. Vladimir's Seminary provided the processional and recessional hymns, while the Choir of Holy Cross Seminary chanted a traditional Vespers Service in English.
Archbishop Demetrios led the Members of the SCOBA, including Bishop Antoun representing the Antiochian Archdiocese, Archbishop Nicolae of the Romanian Archdiocese, Metropolitan Christopher of the Serbian Archdiocese, Metropolitan Jonah of the OCA, Bishop Ilia of the Albanian Diocese and Archpriest Alexander Abramov of the Representation of the Moscow Patriarchate in the USA. The Metropolitans of the Eparchial Synod of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America as well as other Hierarchs were also in attendance.
His Eminence Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Primate of the Armenian Orthodox Church and Chairman of SCOOCH led the following Hierarchs of the SCOOCH delegation: Archbishop Mor Cyril Aphrem Karim of the Syrian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Zecharius of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Bishop David of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and Archbishop Mor Titus Yeldho of the Malankara Syrian Orthodox Archdiocese Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the Ambassador to the UN for the Vatican, led a very large showing of the UN diplomatic corps, which included the Ambassadors of Orthodox countries and those countries where the families of the Christian Churches represented by SCOBA and SCOOCH exist locally.
Greetings from Secretary General Ban-Ki-moon were delivered by Under-Secretary-General Vijay Nambiar, Chef de Cabinet, with special words of welcome to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The address was delivered by the President of the Brookings Institution, former Deputy Sceretary of State Strobe Talbott. In his remarks, Talbott highlighted the pioneering work of His All Holiness for ecological responsibility in the faith community. He also commented on the recently concluded work of the Eighth Religion, Science and Environment Symposium that His All Holiness convened last week in New Orleans on behalf of the Mississippi River.
In his response, His All Holiness stressed both environmental responsibility and dedication to religious freedom that are integral to the message of the Gospel. He also spoke of service to the world:
[W]e Orthodox Christians are called to offer service to humanity without expectation of anything in return, and also, to be examples for others to do the same. Christ tells us to do good, to practice virtue, to practice virtuous works, to love our enemies—not just to love our friends. Christ also calls us to be teachers and guides through example, to serve God's created order—whether we serve as priest or lay person or diplomat.
In concluding his remarks, His All Holiness noted the progress made in the process of unity between the Christian families of Churches:
The theological dialogue between our two Christian families – that is the Orthodox Church and the Ancient Oriental Churches, has formally ended the misunderstandings of the past. It is not theology that divides us. Rather, we are united in our commitment to address the pastoral, liturgical and ecclesiastical issues on which we may ever build our unity in Christ more and more. The dialogue must continue, and we must continue to seek opportunities for mutual exchange. As our knowledge grows, our love will grow as well.
After the Service concluded, a reception for over 600 was held in the Social Hall of the Cathedral.

NOTE: I posted the topic here because it's pretty much an anime convention, the only difference is that you have where to sleep and what to eat and it lasts 6 days.
A-Camp Zombie Survival Edition
This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

As kids, my sister and I would rearrange furniture in our home. We called it Design Time. My parents, taken aback by our nerve, loved it! Who knew kids' play would turn into a 20-year career serving the design industry from NY to LA and abroad. Living in England, Spain, North Africa, and elsewhere around the world provided a wealth of industry knowledge. I don't invest in the ordinary, collect only what I love, and, yes, listened to my mum: "Buy the best, look for good bones, and enjoy!"
