I chose linearity of the worlds. The #1 thing that I think kills MMO's is the "on rails" or "bread crumbing" of the player down a path from creation to cap. It is the worst thing an online persistant game like an MMO could do. it stiffles creativity and will to explore what a developer made.

Next Flop: Planetside 2
Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
SWTOR was generic... one of the most generic MMos I've seen.
Now... take a careful look at that... generic... with a game that takes place in the future.... involving star wars...
That there alone is one of the biggest factors I feel that drove a stake through the game's heart and really helped to quickly bury it.
The problem is I'm sure EA was pushing for them to make it viable for the largest audience possible and instead of letting Bioware focus on making it like Kotor and changing it up to be something different from a usual MMo, they instead pushed it to be close to a game like Everquest in order to drive a much larger share of the consumer base to possibly play it. This here only became that much more of a crutch as Bioware itself is bluntly not at all in the business of making online games, particularly MMos. This really made it that much more difficult for them to accomplish just that. It would be like telling a car mechanic to assemble a 747, it wouldn't go over very well.
Even if Bioware did make the game like Kotor, its hard to say how well it would of even transitioned into online. A lot of what it involves would have to be changed up to work in online mode. Quests likely would be the same system (which isn't to bad but no where near the single player experience) and in ways more complex as light and darkside choices would need impact on just where your directed. Sides of good and evil would be far harder to paint. Classes would need to be done in a different style closer to Kotor to work. Over-all it would be a rather difficult thing to balance. It would likely work a lot better but it would be tricky to balance it in just the right way that it keeps Kotor plaeyrs happy and lets new players in as well, making it all work in an Online environment where everyone plays together following potentially different story choices.
Honestly, I cannot choose just one answer from the list. But I guess the linear story was the worst for me. I had zero motivation to work on alts. And since the end game was rather ugly, I didn't want to work on my main much either.

That has to be the most fail poll in the history of failed polls. In fact, your fail poll is even more of a failure than the failure your fail poll is polling about.
it was too easy, and way to fast to lvl.
no real depth, but still good story was it's only saving grace.

The only catch was the good parts of the story sunken into many barely generic parts.

Failure of developers to listen to Beta testers.

This. Also they had the bad idea of having most beta testers being from their family and friends which are not really going to give you the best feedback.
It failed because you had Developers without the understanding, that Single Player RPGs arent the same design concept of MMO-RPGs.
the Culture is different. WHat made Bioware's Singleplayer RPG so popular, isnt looked at as popular in MMO.
I pointed this out a long time ago before getting banned.
Story Focused may be the big thing in singleplayer console games, but in the MMO genre of RPGs, most people SKIP STORY. Gameplay > Story in MMO genre. Thats where the MMO stood out from its console counterparts in the first place.
I chose linear.. but "all of the above" would of been a better choice.. lol
The game plays like an Xbox rpg game.. It just doesn't feel like an alive world..
pvp was and is crap, illum was a farm fest, and the instanced pvp was and is garbage.

They rushed it, the game was not polished enough
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." - John F. Kennedy
And for MMORPGs ever so true...
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
Just need to get my two cents in.
This game, despite its many flaws is amazing, for a single player game. Great world, great graphics, great storylines and a lot of play time. Took me a month to complete the Bounty Hunter storyline. I quit after a few months because I did not want to pay $15 a month for what was basically a single player game. I had already payed the box price, that should have been it.
What they are doing with f2p I think addresses this, but we will see. Probably one of the best f2p conversions wasLotRO and I would like to see similar system (minus of course the p2w stuff LotRO has added since f2p launch). $5 price point for opening the middle tier on SWTOR I think is a bit low, but maybe is a reflection of how bad they are doing financially with the game?

PhD Student Plothe Gets "Big Bang" Out of Gaming
Theo Plothe, a School of Communication PhD student, is not only an avid "gamer," but also an academic pursuing the concept of what makes video games so enticing to today's society, as well as gaming's power to change opinions, lifestyles, and beliefs. It's not a frivolous topic: the video game industry is nearly worth more than the music industry and Hollywood's income combined, with its last annual income totaling $24 billion.
One of Plothe's recent projects examines the representation of gamers and gaming culture on one of television's most popular shows, The Big Bang Theory. Plothe looked at how the characters on the show identified with their avatar as if it were an extension of themselves, rather than just a character in a game.
"The characters merge their identity outside the game with their avatar. They talk about things as if they are actually in the game," he explains. "Using subculture theory, I explain how show represents gamers as outside of popular culture, unable to reconcile the virtual world with real. It plays with the notion that video games are immersive, which is one of the things that make them different from other forms of media."
Plothe was recently invited to present his paper, "'I'm a rogue night elf, don't you people read character descriptions?': Avatars, gaming and The Big Bang Theory" at the 43rd annual Popular Culture Association conference in Washington D.C. He appeared on a panel with other professionals who examined the impact of video games from different perspectives.
Other major conferences Plothe has presented at include work on videogames and convergence at the Association of Internet Researchers conference in Manchester, UK last October, and on NFL players and their use of Twitter at the Sixth Summit on Communication and Sport in Austin, TX in February.
"Going to these conferences is important because now I have these friends and connections in all of these cool places, and I also get the opportunity to see what different people are doing," says Plothe. "Networking with other scholars will also open up publishing opportunities which we know is of great importance."
Being able to channel his interest in video games into an area of study in the PhD program is important to Plothe. SOC has an accelerated doctoral program, with a duration of just three years, as opposed to the standard length of 5-6 years. The intense focus of the program, according to Plothe, benefits students mightily, focusing their work and research, and requiring a passionate devotion to their research as a result.
The faculty at SOC was also a factor that drew Plothe to the program.
Assistant Professor Deen Freelon, who specializes in analyzing online content and behavior, has proved to be very influential in Plothe's work.
"Deen is absolutely a mentor. He is one of the reasons that I came here, and AU is very lucky to have him," says Plothe.
Plothe argues that the influence of video games reaches far beyond just entertainment. He points out that games that teach math or English can make learning more fun while still being challenging. The future of video games is promising, says Plothe, and one that deserves attention at a university level.
"So far there are only about a dozen game programs throughout the country," he says. "Schools are going to have to create game programs in order to remain competitive."
SOC recognizes the importance and potential of gaming, and is teaming up with AU's College of Arts and Sciences to launch an academic center on persuasive gaming at AU. Initial faculty hires are underway.
Associate Professor Laura DeNardis, another faculty member in the PhD program who is also involved in the gaming initiative, praises Plothe's achievements and dedication to his academic pursuits.
"Video games and digital remix culture are becoming a dominant media for the formation of individual identity and communicative expression," she says. "Theo's research shines a much-need analytical light on this growing area."

A premium trainer for neutral runners, the Asics Gel Nimbus 14 is ready for pavement pounding with maximum cushioning and a soft ride.
Find maximum comfort in the Asics Gel Nimbus 14. This neutral shoe is loaded with features to give you a smooth, well-cushioning ride that will have your feet singing. Stretch mesh in the upper accommodates most foot types and keeps feet cool in hot weather.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.2 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (33mm), Forefoot (21mm)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How it fits (based on width B)
The Gel-Nimbus 14 is a maximum feature, moderate neutral shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: I used to be a Nike fan, however, I switched to Asics in 2010. First wore the Nimbus 12 & loved it right away. Wore 2 pairs of 12s. Then I got the Nimbus 13. It took awhile to get used to that but I eventually loved those as well. Then I got the Nimbus 14 (of which this review is for). It took me 75 miles to finally LIKE them. However, when I wore them for my half-marathon, at mile 10 I felt like I had a huge marshmallow pushing against the ball of my foot. Was disappointed! Then on my 15 miler, I had the same problem in both feet and worse. The 14s are nice for runs of 10 miles or less. I think they have too much gel/cushion in the forefront of the shoe that irritates on longer runs. I'm also disappointed they took away the asymmetrical lacing. And the laces are TOO SHORT! I have a bit of a narrower foot (still buy the standard medium width) and I have to skip a set of eyelets to have just enough laces to do a double knot. Why can't they put in appropriate length laces!?! I have a marathon in 10 weeks...I tried on the Nimbus 15 in a store but I could feel the "marshmallows" just standing in the store. Not buying them. I have since ordered the Asics Cumulus 15 (which my understanding has less gel in the forefront) and the Asics Kinsei 4. I'm really hopeful one of those will work for longer runs otherwise I will be done buying Asics.
From: Mom, Iowa
Comments: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoe!
From: Julie, Indiana
Comments: The Nimbus 12 was the first shoe I didn't have to work through shin splints with for the first week or two of running in them. So I thought I had finally found the perfect shoe for me. So I bought multiples. Just got the Nimbus 14 today. The toe box is narrower. It even rubs the little toe on my right foot. Not sure if its just this pair or the new design is narrower altogether. I'll be sending these back.
From: Teresa, Oregon, US
Comments: Loved Asics Gel Nimbus 12 with off set laces and great cushioned feel-- Nimbus 13 not so much, could not use for running added them to pile of just "gym" shoes-- now have Nimbus 14 finished my first 10 mile run-developed medial foot blister but finished with an average time; liked the cushion without too heavy feel, but continue to miss off set lacing/foot cradle--PLEASE Asics bring it back! I am a neutral runner~ 15-20 miles/week casual runner.

An elite quality lure with a Japanese influence, the Talon Custom Lures Shibui Spinnerbait is handcrafted from start to finish in the USA. Using only the finest materials, each minnow head is individually cast and painted using 50+ steps. The head's slightly triangular shape and wide, flat bottom allow the bait to come through cover upright and deflect snags, while High-Resonance Harmonic Wire combines the best features of stainless steel and titanium, holding its shape and creating a unique vibration. The Shibui skirts use soft silicone and are meticulously designed to match the head, and each skirt is hand tied, banded and then wire wrapped for added security. Available in a variety of colors, all of the Talon Custom Lures Shibui Spinnerbaits also feature matching hand-painted Gensu Blades, as well as, genuine Sampo Swivels.

Comments: Where do I begin with the review of this bait... For starters the color combinations offered are amazing, the detail is far better than I expected. You really cant get an appreciation for the attention to detail until you are holding one in your hand. So a big thumbs up on as far as appearance goes, now it was time to put them to the real test on the lake. Thats where the Shibui really shined. This bait glides through the water with noticeably more vibration than any comparable baits that I have fished, and I have sampled many different brands both stock and custom. I have purchased over a dozen of these and every single bait has run perfectly true right out of the package. Superior components, amazing attention to detail on the paint job, and the fact that they are extremely durable have made the Shibui Spinnerbait a permanent fixture in my tackle box.
From: Mike: Sherman, TX
Comments:I'm thoroughly underwhelmed with this product. I wish I had bought Mini-Me's or Revenge spinner baits. The lure I used today turned on it's side during retrieve and that, after I had put a smaller willow blade on the back than the lure came with. The frame of the lure is not true. With the composite ti/stainless wire arm, you're not going to bend it to the proper position either. The paint is great, skirts are killer and the hardware and blades are primo. However, none of that matters if the lure won't catch fish, and it won't catch fish if it cork-screws through the water. At ten bucks a pop I expect a fishing lure, not a tackle box trinket.
From:Harold: Columbus, SC
Comments:Great spinnerbait..blue gill and hoochie shad been working well for me, worth the money.
From:Brian: New Jersey, USA

BLM to Burn Slash Piles in South Dakota
BELLE FOURCHE, S.D. --- The BLM South Dakota Field Office will be burning slash piles on BLM-administered lands in Meade and Lawrence counties beginning this fall as weather conditions permit.
Pile burning will take place on the Fort Meade Recreation Area near Sturgis and by the Englewood and Powder house Pass subdivisions and along Yellow Creek road near Lead.
"There is approximately 400 acres which contain piles of non-marketable timber and debris that will be burned," said BLM Fire Management Specialist Ryan Larson, based in Belle Fourche.
Burning will occur with a minimum of two inches of snow cover and as predicted weather conditions permit. Smoke may be visible and will be monitored to minimize impacts to sensitive areas.
The piles are a byproduct of projects initiated to improve habitat, reduce Pine beetle infestation and the threat of wildfire.
For more information call BLM Fire Management Specialist Ryan Larson at 605.892.7033 or 605.210.0284. For the latest BLM news and updates go to: www.blm.gov/mt. The BLM is also on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/BLMMontana.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Archive for the 'Gordon England' Tag
Quote from this week's Navy Times article "Former SECNAVs urge Navy to join museum effort:"
"The Navy is aware of the Maritime Foundation's proposal — which was submitted in September — but considers it just one of many options for a new museum somewhere around the capital, said retired Rear Adm. Jay DeLoach, director of Naval History and Heritage Command.
Although DeLoach said there was 'general recognition within the Navy and senior Navy leadership' that it was a good idea to raise the profile of the Navy's relatively small museum at the Washington Navy Yard, officials must analyze all options. DeLoach said he could not discuss what the other options were, nor could he talk about what he called the 'risk' of the Navy joining the project, or any of the other options.
The situation is apparently in flux because it's the subject of discussions between History and Heritage Command, Naval District Washington, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus.
'We're exploring a number of options,' DeLoach said. 'We have to do our due diligence to ensure that any risk to the Navy is minimal.'"
Last week, some very senior legacy leaders endorsed the National Maritime Heritage Foundation's (NMHF) project to build a new National Museum of the United States Navy on the Southwest Waterfront, Washington, D.C., as outlined in this week's article and in a letter to the editors of the Navy Times. First, we would like to applaud these leaders for stepping forward and supporting NMHF and its project. These leaders have the vision to see the value of the project, site offered and team assembled by the Foundation. We have reviewed the full proposal (it's on the Navy Times web site) and this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the Navy.
Projects of the size, scope and status of a national Navy Museum are only successful because they engage and galvanize a huge swath of varied and interested groups. Examples are prevalent around the country and in Washington: the WWII Memorial, the Marine Corps Museum, and the USS Arizona Memorial. Each of these national campaigns activated citizen supporters, corporate America, and many non-profit organizations. These projects and associated campaigns were led by a professional team of experts, under the oversight of a prestigious board of directors who were willing to give their time and money.
What is innovative about the proposal that NMHF is offering the Navy is that it is a public-private venture or partnership (PPV), one that has precedent in the approach that the Navy has taken in other areas – most notably in the construction of new Navy housing. Through a PPV model, the Navy acquires expertise and experience, including state-of-the-art design and business modeling that will ensure long term success of the project. Additional major benefits to the Navy include:
• As outlined in the proposal, the Navy has ownership of the Museum and the joint Naval/Maritime Museum.
• The Navy has complete control over design of the Museum.
• The professional team NMHF has assembled includes the very best professionals in the discipline of museum development (having designed and built the Spy Museum, the Smithsonian's Oceans Hall and the D-Day Visitors Center in Normandy – just to name a few of their success stories).
• Long-term stability that does not require additional Navy funding.
• Navy Museum is the cultural anchor in a major new development that is supported by the local government, with a District commitment of $198 million.
• NMHF will be responsible for undertaking and managing the fundraising for this project and has a team of fundraising professionals with a successful track record of completing multi-million dollar capital campaigns.
The Navy Times article states that the Navy is "exploring a number of options" for relocating the Navy museum. Over the last five years, with the professional support of the Staubach Company (now Jones Lang LaSalle), NMHF's team of experts has examined all potential waterfront sites in Washington, D.C., for a new museum. Nothing compares to the Southwest Waterfront site currently under consideration. It is the only site near the monumental core of the city, on the water and available for development. It is four blocks from the National Mall and the 30 million people who annually visit it. It is adjacent to the 14th Street Bridge, the main southern entrance to the District. What an incredible branding and marketing opportunity for the Navy. The commercial developers are eager to get started and have indicated in no uncertain terms that they will not wait for the Navy to do its own exhaustive study of locations. The studies have been completed and the Southwest Waterfront location wins in every category of analysis.
We are delighted that several former Secretaries of the Navy and a former Interior Secretary recognize the exciting opportunity the Navy has. We hope the current Navy leadership agrees and moves the project forward.

On The Road Again
The drive from Denver into the mountains on a sunny fall day is, in itself, spectacular. But leaving the city isn't just a chance to escape into the gold and green wilderness, it's an opportunity to discover dining locales that have yet to make it onto your GPS. _____ Idaho Springs Smokin'...

Baby, it's hot outside – and central air conditioning is one of the largest guzzlers of energy during the summer months. It's also generally the most expensive option for cooling off; air conditioning energy usage can account for 60 to 70 percent of a summer electric bill in warmer regions, according to Texas utility company Austin Energy. Here are seven environmentally conscious ways to help cool your home – and save money in the process.
1) Install an evaporative cooler
You may be able to cool your home and save energy with an evaporative cooler, sometimes known as a swamp cooler. An evaporative cooler is a free-standing or built-in unit with a fan that pulls air over pads soaked in cold water; some systems can lower temperatures by up to 30 degrees. "The systems use up to 75 percent less energy than central air conditioners," says Tom Henley, spokesman for Xcel Energy. "If you live in a low-humidity area, an evaporative cooler can be a great alternative to central air conditioning." Some energy companies, including Xcel Energy, offer rebates toward the purchase of a cooler; check with your local utility company for details.
2) Plant trees and shrubs
While it's not a quick fix, planting deciduous trees on the south and west sides of your home will keep it cooler in the summer. Because the trees lose their leaves in the autumn, they won't impede the sunlight that warms your house in the winter. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that just three trees, properly placed around a house, can save the average household between $100 and $250 annually in cooling and heating costs. Check with your county extension office for the best varieties of trees that will thrive in your particular area.
3) Insulate your attic
In the past, adding extra roof venting was recommended as the best way to keep hot attic air from transferring to your home's interior, but the latest findings suggest that insulating the attic floor does a significantly better job. Researchers in a University of Illinois study on attic venting and heat transfer concluded that "the addition of 2-inch-thick insulation is considerably more effective in reducing ceiling heat gains than the maximum ventilation rate. When 3-5/8 inches is added, the effect of ventilation is almost insignificant." One more thought about reducing attic heat: If a new roof is in your future, choosing a lighter-colored shingle will help reflect the sunlight and lower the amount of heat the roof absorbs.
4) Apply window film
Sun-control or other reflective films applied on south-facing windows can reduce up to 99 percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays and up to 79 percent of the solar heat coming through a window. The films may also help reduce fading of interior furnishings from exposure to sunlight. Some types of window film can be applied by do-it-yourselfers, while others require professional application. The product may also qualify for a tax credit; the Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides federal tax breaks for homeowners who make certain energy-efficient improvements, including some window film applications.
5) Hang shades and blinds
Direct sunlight can raise the temperature of a room by 10 to 20 degrees. Install white or light-colored window shades, drapes or blinds to shade rooms from the sun and reflect heat away from the windows. Close curtains on south- and west-facing windows during the day to keep the house cooler.
6) Install awnings on windows
While awnings or shade sails are often seen on the exterior of homes in Europe, they haven't caught on in a big way yet in the United States. According to a study conducted by the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota, awnings can provide significant savings on cooling costs by reducing solar gain through home windows. The awnings provide the most significant savings on east-, south- and west-facing windows.
7) Cool off your kitchen
"I like no-cook meals on really hot days, like chilled gazpacho, cold meat salads and sandwiches," says Denver cooking instructor Catherine Cavoto. "Another option is to prepare a recipe early in the morning for the slow cooker. When we come home at the end of the day, it's so nice because dinner is ready to serve and the kitchen stays nice and cool." Scorching summer days also provide the perfect opportunity to try those miscellaneous small appliances hidden away in your pantry – panini grills, rice steamers and quesadilla makers – that typically run cooler and use less energy than the stove. If you must cook, try preparing a meal with your microwave oven, which generally uses less energy and produces less heat than a conventional gas or electric range.

Skip to comments.Rick Santorum Backs Richard Mourdock in Indiana Senate Race [Lugar Endorsed by McCain & Daniels]
Posted on 05/05/2012 10:11:50 AM PDT by Steelfish
Rick Santorum Backs Richard Mourdock in Indiana Senate Race By Shushannah Walshe | ABC OTUS News
Rick Santorum has weighed in on the fierce primary battle in the Indiana senate race. The former presidential candidate tweeted his support of State Treasurer Richard Mourdock over longtime Sen. Dick Lugar. @RickSantorum: I encourage Hoosiers to help GOTV for @RichardMourdock. If I lived in Indiana he'd have my vote in Tuesday's #INSen race.
Lugar has held the seat since 1976, but Tea Party favorite Richard Mourdock is waging a serious challenge and is leading in state polls. Mourdock also has the backing of anti-tax stalwart Grover Norquist, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Lugar is endorsed by Arizona Sen. John McCain and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels.
Unlike his support of John Bruning in the Nebraska senate race, which Santorum announced via press release Thursday, his backing of Mourdock was a much more under the radar affair with just the tweet of support.
Santorum has said campaigning for and supporting conservatives in House and Senate races will be part of his next venture since leaving the GOP presidential primary.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Tells you pretty much what you need to know about McCain.
Mitt Romney needs to endorse someone.
I know who won't be commenting on this thread.
McCain again..
I want to wake up Wednesday morning and find that Dick Lugar has been defeated. This would just make my day.
Took a dive in 2008, because like Luger he wants to die in his senate seat. An old ham who wont give up the limelight. No one over the age of 80 should sit in the Senate.
Where's Newt Gingrich on this important conservative race?
Maybe he is silent so he can pick up more Freddie Mac contracts. Maybe he is afraid the GOPe will withhold future contacts if he sides with Mourdock vs the GOPe candidate Lugar. Newt's silence speaks volumes.
But, of course, Newtbots here will tell you that Santorum is no better than Romney.
Newtbots all fell over the cliff. He took them all for quite a ride and his quixotic campaign gave us Romney.
...and Mitch Daniels.
2 terms is enough too!
Newt, yes, but also where is Palin and Bachmann.
I thought Newt was a Tea Party guy. U know, a different guy from the one that supported Dede in NY23. Hoffman was really the pre Tea Party candidate. Newt supported Dede.
I thought Tea party candidates were supposed to support other credible Tea Party candidates. Maybe Newt is still a GOPe man, so he can get some more GOPe contracts.
Palin and Bachmann have already come out to support Mourdock.
Tells you more about Daniels.
I was wondering why state-controlled media was pushing him.
Actually, I took it as a hint.
He's a degenerate coward snake in the grass who took Romney money to stay in the race long enough to take out Gingrich, wouldn't even run in his own home state because he would lose (real Presidential material there) and is now making pretend he is Tea Party.
And the gullible continue to be gullible.
Why has Newt been AWOL on Mourdocks endorsement?
Unlike Romney, I thought Newt presented himself as a Tea Party Guy. So why hasn't he endorsed Mourdock, a CREDIBLE Tea Party candidate.
Great, thanks, I haven't been keeping up to date on this one.
No problem. Just google palin, Bachmann, Mourdock.
Palin endorsed Mourdock about 5 hours before a Major GOPe Super-Pac pulled their ads for Lugar.
Yep! Too bad Palin had to drag his campaign down like that! /sarc
Umm, out front - leading like they always do.
Santorum won 11 states and over 3 m votes on a shoe-string budget. Newt with baggage enough to sink a fleet of cruise liners siphoned off votes to hand Romney a win in MI (3% margin) and in OH (under 1% margin). Now, let the Newtbots pays off his debt.
The ONLY reason Santorum backed Arlen Specter was that he'd be the new Chair of the Judiciary Committee and would help pilot folks like Alito and Roberts toward Senate confirmation. The Newtbots know this but they still keep repeating the lie.
Newt never had a chance in a million of capturing the nomination, but like lemmings the Newtbots followed him over the cliff.
Har. Oh to see the world through your eyes.
who cares about whut them stooges johnny n mitch think i want to know who dat brain gal mehgum is a backin....
'Palin already c[a]me out support[ing] Mourdock'
SARAH ....so goes SARAH so goes the Party.....she' our brainy..... classy barometer....
"Lugar is endorsed by Arizona Sen. John McCain and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels."
Of course. They are both GOP establishment types and "moderates."
"When Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) called on conservatives to declare a "truce" on social issues and "agree to disagree," he clearly "shot himself in the foot" and ended his presidential prospects."
excerpt http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/09/social_issues_are_not_going_away_in_2012.html
"..The Newtbots know this but they still keep repeating the lie."
Many of them have acted just like libDems - repeating a lie over and over so it sounds like the truth.

I would like to teach an 8-year-old child of mine, classical Greek. I still have my textbooks when I learned it in college, but they are too advanced at this point.
I have seen products marketed for teaching Greek to children, but they seem to cost an arm and a leg.
Has anyone here done this on their own? What products did you use? what techniques did you use? I have a Master's Degree, as well as plenty of lexical materials, its just that I'm not sure that any of that would help out in this instance. And this child is doing pretty well in school, in the 3rd grade and reading at the 4th grade level so learning a new language should be fun.
I learned Greek in college the "new" way--through the Joint Association of Classical Teachers Greek course materials. I don't know about now, but at the time, it was the "new" method, where you were translating Greek in the first few weeks, instead of learning about various declensions for the first 3 years, before you actually started translating Greek--this is what our teachers told us they had to go through (I suppose an educated version of the old, "When I was your age I had to walk 3 miles to school in the snow" line).
If I had to, I suppose that I could simply go through these materials, but at a slower pace, although I'd prefer something more designed for kids--there is a lot of vocabulary to learn, which is needed for each lesson.

The Emery High Lady Spartans traveled to Delta last Tuesday and came home with a two-game sweep of their region opponent by the scores of 3-0 in the first game and 12-0 in the nightcap. With the two wins, Emery is now 12-3 for the season and 4-2 in region 8 play.
Senior Leslee Lake pitched both games and came home with complete game shutouts. In the first game, a seven-inning affair, Leslee induced a ground ball out and two strikeouts in the first inning. In the second inning, she got three easy ground outs followed by two more groundouts in the third inning and another strikeout.
Delta's first base runner of the game got on in the fourth inning due to an error but Leslee got two more groundouts and another strikeout to close out the inning. The fifth inning saw a popup to the catcher, another grounder and another strikeout. In the sixth inning, it was two grounders and another popup, this time back to the pitcher. Leslee finally gave up a hit in the seventh inning but a strikeout and two more grounders surrounded it and the game was over.
Emery scored three runs in the top of the first inning and then went down pretty much 1-2-3 the rest of the game. In the first inning after an Emery groundout and strikeout, Chelsea Skinner walked and scored on a double by Lake. Leslee then scored on a double by Bailey Kay. Kay scored on a single to left field by Candice Norton. Emery's only other base runner came in the fifth inning when Jalee Jensen singled to centerfield.
In the second game, Emery's bats came alive as Emery scored 12 runs on 17 base hits. All nine Emery batters got at least one base hit in the game and Jalee Jensen, Leslee Lake and Keera Allred led the way with each having three base hits in the five-inning game. Leslee had two doubles in the game and Jalee, Chelsea, Whitney Allen and Markette Tanner each had one double.
In the first inning, Emery scored three times. Jalee singled, Chelsea doubled, Leslee doubled, Bailey Kay singled and Candice Norton singled as the first three runners scored.
Emery added two more runs in the second inning. Keera singled, Jalee singled and Adriane Weihing had a bunt for a single and Keera and Jalee scored.
Emery added the rest of their runs in the fifth inning. Leslee singled to open the inning, Bailey grounded out to shortstop and then Whitney and Candice doubled to left field and Markette doubled to right field. Keera then singled to left field followed by Jalee hitting a double to rightcenter field. Adriane then singled to center field and Chelsea hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score Jalee. Leslee followed with a double to score Adriane and Emery was now up 12-0.
Leslee pitched a no-hitter in this game as only one batter got on base. The very first batter of the game became a runner due to an infield error but then Leslee induced 15 straight batters to get out. There were seven fairly easy groundouts, three strikeouts, four infield pop ups and a soft fly to Bailey Kay in right field.
Emery will now travel to Carbon Tuesday for a double header and then will be at home Thursday against Delta in a single varsity game plus JV and sophomore/freshmen action.

Jets Final Roster Discussion
Posted 03 September 2010 - 12:15 AM
Removed Larry Taylor WR and added LB Kenwin CUmmings
Here is how i See it
Coles (only for 4 weeks while holmes is suspended) Doesn't count against the 53
Revis (i'm gonna put him in here)
Special Teams 3
Tanner (long snapper)
Posted 03 September 2010 - 02:01 AM
*Edit* Thinking about it again, I could see one of Mulligan/Cumberland being sent to practice squad, and the other being cut. This would ensure room for Conner and T-Rich, and give a little freedom with those two roster spots.
Posted 03 September 2010 - 02:08 AM
I don't see four tight ends being carried. Last year we went with just Keller and Hartsock. I can easily see Mulligan and/or Cumberland not making it. I can easily see at least one of those two being dropped in favor of Chauncey Washington, because he was running hard in the preseason and you know Rex loves the ground and pound. Especially with the comments Rex was making about McKnight.

Normally I wouldn't pick for TEs but rex said he was gonna keep four. I can see washington making it instead of taylor though. Were a running team what would we need 6 WRs for, I only picked taylor over washington cause he returns punts

I'd definitely prefer 8 LBs rather than the seven you listed, to 4 TEs. Remember we use heavy sets with an extra tackle on offense quite a bit, so carrying four TEs - even if Rex said the team would - doesn't neccessarily make sense to me. I can't see Jason Taylor being used on STs, so that leaves just Laury and Westerman out of the LBs you listed who would be available to Westhoff.

The nest LBer on my list is statele. Do you think he earned a spot? I don't. Plus at TE this will be heartstocks last year with us and cumberland looks like he can be a weopen and mulligan looks good too

Posted 03 September 2010 - 04:41 PM
[b]WR Larry Taylor[/b] The Jets have cut the diminutive WR, losing out for the final WR spot to David Clowney and maybe moreso, Danny Woodhead.
[b]FB Jason Davis[/b] With Conner and Richardson there was just no room for the journeyman Jason Davis.
[b]C Robby Felix[/b] Waived by the Jets, Jenny Vrentas [url="http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2010/09/jets_begin_trimming_roster_fin.html"]could see him making the practice squad[/url].
[b]S Keith Fitzhugh[/b] Was an UDFA from 2009 who was with the Jets last summer and who the team brought back just a few weeks ago.
[b]LB Tim Knicky[/b] Signed during camp with the Jets. Knicky was a former DE at Stephen F. Austin and might be someone who the Jets revisit at some point.
[b]DB Emmanuel Cook[/b] Like Fitzhugh, hes another UDFA defensive back from 2009 who got a callback from the Jets. Even with his interception last night, he was unable to secure a roster spot.
[b]LB Brashton Satele[/b] Had some injury setbacks, but thanks to Mike Westhoff, hes now free to open his pizza stand in the Bronx. We wish the flyin Hawaiian well.
[b]DL Ty Steinkuhler[/b] The Jets have been carrying Stein on and off since last years UDFA class. This probably means that Kroul is a lock on the initial squad, but that the team might still sift through the waiver wire to see if they can find someone elses garbage to add to their defensive line rotation.
[b]DL Jason Lamb[/b] Via [url="http://twitter.com/Steiny31/status/22904444400"]Steiny[/url], this was announced on Twitter [url="http://twitter.com/wesamick/status/22900728326"]via his cousin[/url]. Lamb looked good this spring, but was unable to find a spot on the final roster this summer.
[b]LB Rickey Foley[/b] The OLB whom the Jets just signed in the past week from the CFL did not make the active roster for the Jets.
[b]DT Martin Tevaseu, [/b][b]LB Boris Lee[/b] [b]OL Chet Teofilo[/b] have also been cut.
[b]DB Donovan Warren[/b] A pickup that was lauded by the Jets as he went undrafted out of Michigan Warren was unable to contribute much, as a concussion sidelined him during much camp, according to Rexs postgame presser.
[b]LB Joshua Mauga[/b] The former Nevada player had concussion issues as well, and will not make the final roster, according to Rexs postgame presser.
[b]CB Brian Jackson[/b] King Ugly the guy who got all [s]uppity[/s] indifferent with Dennis Thurman has not made the active roster according to our own [url="http://twitter.com/LisaZimmerman/status/22907676869"]Lisa Zimmerman[/url].
[i]TE Jeff Cumberland has been confirmed to make the final roster via [/i][url="http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/jets/2010/09/jets-in-process-of-trimming-ro.html"][i]TheJetStream[/i][/url][i], and Chauncey Washington seemingly has not been informed yet of his fate.[/i]

If Chauncey Washington doesn't make it but McKnight does, I'm never watching a preseason game again.
Don't watch it then. seriously you don't cut a 4th round rookie. he needs some time but if anyone can whip him into a real RB rex can
Posted 04 September 2010 - 10:10 AM

I'm not saying cut McKnight. I'm saying Chauncey Washington needs to be on the team. McKnight we want to keep to see if he can develop, but we play the Ravens in 10 days and what if Greene get hurt in the 1st Q? Who's spelling LT? Rudy or Captain Fumble? We need a 3rd back that can run with power and Washington showed that he could. McKnight is going to develop migraines and be on the PUP list.
Posted 04 September 2010 - 04:56 PM
The Jets trimmed their roster to 53 players this morning (excluding Santonio Holmes). According to sources, the following players were waived:
WR Larry Taylor, FB Jason Davis, S Emanuel Cook, LB Brashton Satele, C Robby Felix, S Keith Fitzhugh, LB Tim Knicky, DE Jason Lamb, LB Boris Lee, DT Ty Steinkuhler, OL Chet Teofilo, DT Martin Tevaseu, LB Ricky Foley, DB Bo Smith, WR Brooks Foster, T Dan Gay, OL Michael Turkovich, LB Cory Reamer, OL Charlie Tanner.
Rex Ryan said Thursday night that LB Josh Mauga and S Don Warren would not make the team, either. Some of the released players will certainly land on the practice squad after they clear waivers. Also keep in mind that somebody will be cut once Darrelle Revis returns to the roster. When that will be, of course, is uncertain.
The team could also cut one of the players below if they decide to pick up another player on waivers tomorrow. In other words, bubble players like RB Chauncey Washington, WR David Clowney and DB Brian Jackson aren't necessarily safe in the long run.
Here's the 53-man roster. For now. (The team will have an official announcement on the cuts later today after the league's official 6pm deadline).
[b]QUARTERBACKS (3): Mark Sanchez, Mark Brunell, Kellen Clemens
RUNNING BACKS (5): Shonn Greene, LaDainian Tomlinson, Chauncey Washington, Danny Woodhead, Joe McKnight
FULLBACKS (2): Tony Richardson, John Conner
WIDE RECEIVERS (4): Jerricho Cotchery, Braylon Edwards, Brad Smith, David Clowney (Santonio Holmes doesn't count against 53-man roster until he returns from his 4-game suspension). Woodhead can also play WR.
TIGHT ENDS (4): Dustin Keller, Ben Hartsock, Jeff Cumberland, Matt Mulligan
OFFENSIVE LINE (8): Nick Mangold, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Brandon Moore, Damien Woody, Matt Slauson, Vladimir Ducasse, Rob Turner, Wayne Hunter
DEFENSIVE LINE (6): Kris Jenkins, Sione Pouha, Shaun Ellis, Vernon Gholston, Mike DeVito, Matt Kroul
CORNERBACKS (6): Antonio Cromartie, Kyle Wilson, Dwight Lowery, Marquice Cole, Brian Jackson, Drew Coleman
SAFETIES (4): Jim Leonhard, Eric Smith, Brodney Pool, James Ihedigbo
LINEBACKERS (8): David Harris, Bart Scott, Calvin Pace, Jason Taylor, Bryan Thomas, Jamaal Westerman, Kenwin Cummings, Lance Laury
SPECIALISTS (3): K Nick Folk, P Steve Weatherford, Longsnapper Tanner Purdum
RESERVE/DID NOT REPORT LIST: CB Darrelle Revis, QB Erik Ainge
INJURED RESERVE: Ropati Pitoitua (Achilles)

[i]Another quick rundown of the roster this time with all the remaining players rather than the cuts list.[/i]

[b]#[/b] [b]Name[/b] [b]Height[/b] [b]Weight[/b] [b]Age[/b] [b]Years[/b] CB 0 24 Revis, D (inactive?) 5-11 200 25 4 CB 1 31 Cromartie, A 6-2 210 26 5 CB 2 20 Wilson, K 5-10 190 23 R CB 3 26 Lowery, D 5-11 198 24 3 CB 4 30 Coleman, D 5-9 180 27 5 CB 5 34 Cole, M 5-10 192 26 2 CB 6 40 Jackson, B 6-0 205 23 R S 1 36 Leonhard, J 5-8 188 27 6 S 2 22 Pool, B 6-2 214 26 6 S 3 33 Smith, E 6-1 207 27 5 S 4 44 Ihedigbo, J 6-1 214 26 4 [b]
Notes: [/b]That Brian Jackson made the team was a bit of a surprise to me and might only be around as long as Revis isnt and maybe not even that long.

Losing Ropati Pitoitua means that the team might yet address their depth at the 280+ 3-4 End / 4-3 Tackle spot. Ropatis absence might have allowed the Jets to slip a player like RB Chauncey Washington onto the squad (for now).
Theres some degree of back and forth between the OLB/DE which is part of why the grouping looks small it really only represents a portion of the entire group if you were to count Taylor, Pace and Thomas. With the line moving to more four man fronts in 2010, the linebacking corps was going to be a little lighter than it had been in the past.

Notes:[/b] The team is going to carry eight, into the season. Ducasse will likely be the last man activated since Turner and Hunter can help on jumbo packages as extra TEs.

Notes:[/b] Cumberland has done enough to make the unit, and hes a player who I think the Jets would love to see learn more sound blocking techniques so that he could move up the roster next year. Cumberland might be a player we dont see activated early on, but hes a player that the Jets are concerned about exposing to the waiver wire process and theyll do what they can to keep him as long as they can.

[b]Notes:[/b] I predicted this the other day and it looks absurd to see four receivers on the roster. But with Santonio Holmes coming back Week 5 and Dustin Keller, LaDainian Tomlinson and Danny Woodhead also on the roster, theres enough viable options (even if some of them are checkdowns) for the team to get them through the opening month. .

[b]Notes: [/b]More Speaking of ridiculous SEVEN backs? Id love to know the statistic of when the last time an NFL roster carried this many backfield players. Carrying two FBs is odd enough but five running backs? Bizzaro. But for the Jets, this is the right call. Based on who they had, based on the fact that they have two players they will be doing without at the start of the season in Revis and Holmes, and based on the fact that Woodhead is a quasi-slotback and Chauncey Played Like a Jet. This is the right call. I blasted the team yesterday for making a move that I thought would let McKnight skate, and while hes still on thin ice, theyve also rewarded the players that deserved it.

[b]Notes:[/b] While the Jets would have loved to have taken OConnell forward, it didnt make any sense to do it due to his shoulder injury and the fact that he was struggling when he did see the field. Clemens took the pay cut to stay on the roster, well have to see what it means for him once he becomes a UFA.

Anthony Stewart, Andrew Murray and Zach Hamill on Waivers Today
Jonathan Willis
February 06 2012 11:27AM
As per Bob McKenzie, a trio of players with NHL experience are on the waiver wire today. Are any of them particularly interesting?
Anthony Stewart, Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes picked up Stewart for a song this summer, signing the former first round pick to a two-year, $900,000 per year deal. The now 27-year old was originally drafted 25th overall by Florida in 2003, and was coming off a career-best 14-goal, 39-point season with the defunct Atlanta Thrashers. Why was a 6'2" former first-round pick coming off the best season of his career available so cheaply? Why is he available now?
A lot of it has to do with Stewart's track record. Here are his point totals over the last five seasons:
- 2006-07: 62 games, 27 points (AHL)
- 2007-08: 54 games, 31 points (AHL)
- 2008-09: 59 games, seven points (NHL)
- 2009-10: 77 games, 31 points (AHL)
- 2010-11: 80 games, 39 points (NHL)
As a rule, 30-point guys in the AHL don't suddenly turn into 30-point guys in the NHL. Carolina's seen that this year – Stewart has 13 points in 50 games played. He's a guy without the hands to play on a skill line, and he doesn't have the defensive chops to make it in a checking role (this year, for example, he's playing a ton of offensive minutes, typically against bad players and is getting outshot worse than almost anyone else on the Hurricanes' roster). The scoring chances paint an even bleaker picture than the shot clock does.
Stewart's available now because for the bulk of his professional career he's shown himself to be an AHL-calibre player. He's played to that level this season, and that's probably why Carolina's sending him down.
Zach Hamill, Boston Bruins
Zach Hamill (no relation) isn't just any prospect – he was the eighth overall pick in 2007. Unfortunately, he's basically been backpedalling since his draft year. When the Bruins selected Hamill, he was fresh off a 93-point season in 69 games in the WHL. The next year he barely crossed the point-per-game threshold in the same league, and so it wasn't a big shock when he managed less than 30 points as a rookie in the AHL.
Hamill's now in his fourth full professional season. After a relatively strong year for an offensively inept Providence Bruins team in 2010-11, he earned his most protracted NHL stint to date this season – 16 games. During that span, the playmaker has picked up just two assists.
Hamill's the kind of guy that might yet be able to carve out a role in the NHL for himself, if he can get the scoring to come. It's a long-shot to be sure, in no small part because despite a strong play-making game Hamill isn't a shooter – he's a career 10% guy in the AHL over chunks of four season, and doesn't fire the puck a lot. He has real playmaking skill, but he needs an extended audition on a team desperate for the help. Additionally, skating has been a major concern going back to draft day – for a smallish offensive guy, Hamill's just not as fast as he probably needs to be.
There are definite things to like about the player – his play-making, his vision, even his positional smarts at both ends of the ice – but most undersized offensive players without a threatening shot or much speed struggle to translate their offense from the AHL to the NHL. When that AHL-level offense hasn't been especially good (and in Hamill's case, it hasn't), the odds of a lengthy career in the NHL dwindle.
Andrew Murray, San Jose Sharks
While the two guys who went in the first round will get most of the attention, Andrew Murray might be the best of the three on waivers today. If the guy had any scoring talent at all…
That's been Murray's issue, going back to his first season as a professional. Murray turned 24 early in his rookie pro season, having just come out of the U.S. college system, and spent two and a half years polishing his game in the AHL before making the jump to the majors, where he's been for the last 200+ games of his career.
Murray's big, he can kill penalties, he's passable on the faceoff circle, he plays the game with an edge, he's rarely at fault defensively, and he's basically everything a team could ask for on their fourth line. Not only does Murray hit relentlessly, but he's one of the most disciplined energy players in the game – in a 220 game NHL career, he has just 36 PIMs. Again, however: if only he could score. Murray put up 29 points in the AHL as a rookie pro and that number remains his personal best.
Murray spent most of his Blue Jackets' career as a defensive zone specialist (when he was in the lineup – everywhere he's gone he's been an end-of-roster kind of guy) and for that reason it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up in Vancouver; he just looks like a perfect fit for their fourth line and his lack of offense and relatively low profile might allow him to sneak by other teams. He's a useful NHL'er right now, in a specialized role, and that's not something one can say about a lot of guys with scoring totals that low.
Oil's response should be: Pass, Pass, Pass.
Here's hoping we can beat the Leafs tonight, so I can give my sister a hard time. It's a family embarrassment that she's a Leafs fan, but then most of them are Flames fans.
Also, FIST.
February 06 2012, 11:39AM
I initially thought it was DOUGLAS Murray, and I was all "whoa" about it
Considering "being a 1st round pick" seems to be the first thing this Oilers management team looks for when aquiring a player regardless of how long ago or what he's done since, I wouldn't be surprised to see either Hamil or Stewart picked up. Not that we need either player.
Stewart has size as well, so he's got to be close to a lock, I'd think.
February 06 2012, 11:52AM
Murray or Hamill might be interesting at 4C. It would finally let us send Lander down to OKC for some big time minutes and to help solidify the glorious Calder Cup run!
I'd be interested in Stewart if only for his size.
Hamill might be worth a gamble, but then again, the Flames have a number of smaller centers and are pretty much at the 50 contract limit.
id take hamill, still has allot of upside.
the kid only has 20 games of nhl experience. He only has 4 points but he is a +5
Why not keep JFJ then?
Stewart - He's signed on a one-way contract through to the end of next season. He's just not worth the cap hit if all he's going to do is add depth to somebody's farm team. He'll probably go unclaimed.
Hamill - Two-way contract that's up at the end of the season. He's young enough that he could still have some upside and there's absolutely no risk to picking him up. Pretty much the only decision to make is whether or not you can afford to bench somebody in order to give this guy a cup of coffee and see if new surroundings spark anything. Hamill is the most likely of these three to be picked up in my books. He's a good free roll of the dice.
Murray - Two-way contract that expires this season. He's a what you see is what you get sort of player. I'd say he has good odds of being picked up by a team looking for some cheap playoff depth, but he's not a potential steal like Hamill could be.
February 06 2012, 02:28PM
I remember watching Stewart play as a midget, ironically with the North York Canadiens. He was always a presence. But I suppose that anyone who makes it to the NHL had to have been a presence in his midget year.
What the heck happened to Hamill? Does a change of scenery help him?
I don't really see the Leafs getting in on any of these guys, but I am interested to see what happens: is it the end of the line, or a fresh start?
February 06 2012, 08:41PM
Murray or Hamill might be interesting at 4C. It would finally let us send Lander down to OKC for some big time minutes and to help solidify the glorious Calder Cup run!

Dwight Howard still is limited to light practice and one-on-one drills, and his Los Angeles Lakers debut may be put on hold.
But any mental pain from sitting on the bench seems inconsequential compared to what he dealt with last season.
"What a lot of people don't know is when I hurt my back, it affected my nerves to the point where my whole left leg just went dead basically," Howard told reporters in Los Angeles on Thursday (via Los Angeles Times). "I couldn't do a calf raise.
"When I went to see the doctor right before I was traded, he said, 'Most guys don't recover as fast as you did, especially when it affects your nerve down your leg.' It usually takes a year for your leg to regain strength."
Howard won't play Saturday in a preseason game against the Utah Jazz. His preseason presence may be entirely limited to the bench at this point, and that seems to be a prudent move. He's put the decision in the hands of trainer Gary Vitti, the Times reports, and the NBA's 82-game season makes preseason kind of pointless to risk injury during.
Howard put himself at risk enough last season. He was limited to 54 games with the Orlando Magic, who went 33-21 with him and 4-8 without him. In that time, he averaged 20.6 points and an NBA-best 14.5 rebounds a game.
We didn't know all the details until this recent interview, though.
"I had some issues early in the season and I just kept playing through it — some back spasms and things," Howard told reporters. "I really didn't say anything. With all the stuff that was going on [his contract situation and possible trades], I just didn't want anybody thinking that I was trying to quit on my team or anything like that. Instead of me just sitting out, I just wanted to keep playing and show everybody that I was still with the team."

Virgin Blue Lands First Direct Hobart - Brisbane Flight Today07/10/2003
Virgin Blue's inaugural flight from Brisbane will touch down in Hobart at 12.10pm today, bringing another affordable and convenient non-stop flight option for the people of Tasmania and Queensland.
Virgin Blue's low fares and friendly customer service focus is expected to provide a huge boost to the tourism industry in both States, with great air fares making travel between the two capitals more accessible for weekend getaways and short breaks.
The low fare airline is the only carrier to offer a direct service between Queensland and Tasmania and in celebration of the new daily flight Virgin Blue is offering a special sale fare of $129* one way on the net, on sale from now until October 31, for travel from October 7 to December 11, 2003.
Aside from this special launch fare, Virgin Blue's Mid-Week Mini-Fares start from $149* one-way on the net, with a fully Flexible Fare of $399* one-way on the net.
Spokesperson, Amanda Bolger, said, "The decision to start direct services between Hobart and our home town of Brisbane is based on strong feedback from the hundreds of customers who are already using connecting services between these two cities.
"For us competition doesn't just mean offering the lowest fares, we are also focused on great service and direct flights so people can get where they want to go without spending excess time in transit."
One of Virgin Blue's brand new Next Generation 737 aircraft will be scheduled to the route offering 144 seats in each direction.
The new route will also take the number of flights in and out of Hobart to four a day, complimenting the existing three daily direct services from Hobart to Melbourne with convenient connections throughout Australia.
Guests on the first service between Brisbane and Hobart will be treated to one of Virgin Blue's famous launch flight celebration parties and will receive champagne and a limited edition one-of-a-kind launch t-shirt, as well as a chance to bid for a goody pack containing flights, Europcar hire, accommodation and a Bruny Island Charter boat cruise for two.
All monies raised in-flight will be donated to the Humour Foundation to assist the work of its Clown Doctors who travel throughout Australian hospitals bringing smiles to the faces of sick children.

The last fifty-year period has been one of the most productive in the history of private international law (PIL), having produced 61 PIL codifications and 101 international conventions, regulations and other similar instruments. This Article examines the way in which these codifications and other instruments confront the constant tension between the need for legal certainty and predictability, on the one hand, and the need for flexible, equitable, and individualized solutions, on the other. Among the advances of the art and science of codification during this period is the deployment of several new tools - such as alternative or soft connecting factors, escape clauses, or a combination of rules and residual "approaches" - which entrust judges with greater discretion than in the old codifications. These tools produce a new equilibrium and mutual accommodation between certainty and flexibility and suggest that codification need not be antithetical to flexibility.
