All finishes are sealed with a final coat of lacquer for extra durability.

Bedding bass are naturally aggressive, yet sometimes a small predator will only attract the ire of the smallest of the pair. Use River2Sea's new Nest Raider to bring out the mean nature of big spawning females. Put Nest Raider into the bed, find the sweet spot and keep it wiggling, and let the design do the rest. Nest raider has a specially shaped contoured head, a giant hook and a flotation feature in the tail to make this bait look like a lizard or waterdog that is robbing the nest blind. When the big female gets mad and strikes, you must drive the hook home with authority. This is a close quarters battle of wills, and with Nest Raider, you're bound to win.

Comments: so i went to diamond valley lake throwing only swimbaits and i pull up to this point and make a cast with a hudd. have this pig nose up on it like a 7 pounder. i look to the left and theres a male about 3 pounds. so i think is he on a bed ? i drop a nest raider in front of him and pop it only once and he crushed it hard. if your going to fish beds [ p.s. i try to avoid it, but a 9 pounder is tempting] then use this lizard in red bellied and the 5 inch.
From: Tyler: CA
Comments: Its not spawn yet but the newts and salamanders have already started laying eggs. I decided to try this and found it was the only thing they would bite! Even the salamanders followed it. Its a great lure for clear water and can be fished nearly anywhere, in the grass, reeds, and log jams. In fact I ran into a real nice bass round some trees, unfortunatly he fell off but I saw his belly and it was fat! Weedguard is also adjustable but may slide up and down. The only problem I saw was that the tail didn't wiggle unless it was really cranked, which got some big strikes.
From: Braedyn: Middlebury, PA
Comments: Absolutely amazing on the beds. Fish were much more responsive to these than any soft plastic lizard imitation I could find. they really slam it. Cal tiger especially.

Well it sort of comes down to this
March 16 2008 01:09PM
The Oilers (8-2-0 in their past ten) face the Sharks (10-0-0 in their past ten tonight) at 6pm. As we all witnessed last night in their 5–2 slapping of the Coyotes, the Oil seem to have a lot of gas left in their tank down the stretch run, and quite frankly are playing some decent puck.
It's amazing that the Oil have been playing at this pace for the past three weeks, and are still seven points back of eighth place in the Western Conference. They're tied with Colorado for the second-hottest team in the West, and only the high-flying Sharks have been better over the past ten games.
Oilers are breaking NHL records left and right. Heck, the HHOF wants Cogliano's stick and gloves for his NHL record three OT winners in a row. They can put it next to the sticks of Alex Smart and Real Cloutier—who share the NHL record for most goals in their first NHL game with 3—and call the display case "Rookies you may never hear from again that have done something interesting in 3s."
Yup, these are heady times by all accounts in the OilersNation, but there has been no big closing of the gap between the Oil and Vancouver for 8th place. This could change tonight if the Oil beat the Sharks. The three teams the Oil are fighting with for 8th have been basically asleep now for the past 14 days, playing some mediocre hockey at best.
Vancouver is 4-4-2 in their past ten. People are checking the Sedins for a pulse, Luongo has been looking VERY human of late, and they aren't scaring anyone with their physical play.
Nashville (4-6-0) and Phoenix (5-5-0) aren't exactly lighting the world on fire either. You'd have to like the Oil's chances if they were to pull into dog fight territory in the next couple of games.
So you sit there and think, "OK the Oilers are playing well. But so what? They would need to bascially snatch points from each of these teams standing in their way down the stretch to have any sort of chance."
Well lambs, with ten games still to play, look who the Oil face in the games remaining this year:
- Phoenix (one game)
- Vancouver (two games)
- Minnesota (two games)
- Colorado (two games)
- Calgary (two games)
There are a lot of points left on the board against the very teams the Oilers are playing against for 8th place. And they're the only team playing with any sort of momentum.
Beat the Sharks tonight, and teams will take notice.
Beat the Sharks tonight, and MacT should be locked up if he ever tries to "reign in the kids" and make them play two-way hockey.
Beat the Sharks tonight, and you can close within five points of a playoff spot, and be riding a pretty decent momentum wave.
Beat the Sharks, and really, it's on.
—Listen to Wanye Gretz between 4 and 5pm on Thursdays as he calls Magic 99 to request "anything by Celine Dion."
even if we do beat the sharks are chances still look pretty nasty, but that being said if the oilers beat the 10-0 in their last ten sharks i will literally shit my pants and maybe finally realize the real potential this team has for the next few seasons. If the oil go out thier and really take it to the sharks they still might not make the playoffs, but the deserve to play in the playoffs. honestly, do any of you really see Van tasking out Detroit? I sure as shit dont! So basically what iam saying is that the oilers look like, and are playing like a team that has a much better chance of taking out the wings than the canucks do.
Despite the long odds and everything else that has been said about the Oilers over the last couple of weeks they have shown promise. Against the Coyotes the veterans even made their presence felt. The team is reacting to the coaching it seems and I guess that is a positive sign. The line-up of opponents tells me they are going to be up against some desperate opponents. They may not gain another point this year but they almost never show signs of quitting and are in every game. The next 10 games are going to have to be my playoffs. Hopefully next year...
Thats a good call Al - the next 10 games will be your playoffs. It looks like its going to be a great finale to the year. There is nothing better than the Oil in late March. Well except perhaps the Red Wings each and every season (except 2006)

"I know I was awful in the movie but at this point I care more about the paychecks and staying in front of the camera than anything else."
Former A list mostly movie actress who is still A-/B+ and an Academy Award winner.
Nicole Kidman
Yes Boo Get that money.ReplyCancel
The way the Entybots are speeding thru the old blinds we might actually be done with the 2013s soon.ReplyCancel
Nicole Kidman does not need the money,she just wants it.
I rather have integrity if I was her,and play a role for peanuts than be known as a bad actress.
Stepford Wives anyone ?ReplyCancel
I secretly love Moulin Rouge but don't tell anyone! That being said, if all she cares about is the paycheck and the gigs, maybe work on being less awful mmmmmkay?ReplyCancel
Aw, why you gotta pull 7's comment??!!?? I know most Enty's don't like Nicole Kidman, but jeez! Someone says they like her and ya pull the comment?
Booo. Hissss.ReplyCancel
Everyone in Nashville knows Nicole always puts forth 147% in every project she does and is very private, avoiding cameras at all cost.
Beat you to it, I get to bill her.ReplyCancel
I know right? Poor Seven always gets the fuzzy end of the lollipop. I was replying to the comment and then *poof*
I guess I have to drop F bombs to get mine to stick. OK.
I f'n love Nicole Kidman. She was really f'n good in Dead Calm, Practical Magic, The F'n Hours, and The M'F'n Others.ReplyCancel
She has all the warmth of cold pizza. Her face hasn't moved in years.
She has one performance in her. Don't understand the regard for her. Plenty of more talented actresses her age.ReplyCancel
She's far from an awful actress. She's made some awful movies though.
@Lady Why be secret about Moulin Rouge? That movie is all kinds of awesome!ReplyCancel
Loved her in Moulin Rouge and The Others.ReplyCancel
Michael Caine, Gene Hackman, Robert De Niro have made more than their share of films to cash a check. Why is it so much worse that Kidman would have done it? She's not even nearly as prolific doing it as those guys, and she still churns out little indie films in spite of her status.ReplyCancel
@Count Dammit, that's fast work! I was just coming on her to say that my daughter goes to belly-dancing class with her daughter in Nashville, and that she and Keith are lovely people and very much in love, and love their daughters and love apple pie. Then **I** would have been able to bill her. I'll get there first next time!ReplyCancel
*eyeroll* Yes, Enty. I'm sure those were her *exact* words.
I can't blame her. She's got two kids*, a lifestyle to maintain and, well, because she CAN. If studios are going to wave Money at her, why would she turn them down?
*Nope, not counting Connor and Isabella since they "disconnected" from her.ReplyCancel
Not sure I believe this one. Celebrity Net Worth puts Kidman at $130,000,000. Sounds about right – she's been making big budget Hollywood movies for around 20 years. On the other hand she was apparently content to spend the rest of her life living in a fake marraige with Cruise, just as she is now living in a fake marraige with guitar boy (forgot his name) so who knows with this coo coo cow. She's got a nice butt though.ReplyCancel
I, for one, liked "Australia". I liked her range in it: from comic at first to poignant in her love for the boy. My only gripe was with the cinematography. The landscape is already beautiful and dramatic: why play with CGI's?ReplyCancel
'The F'n Hours, and The M'F'n Others' Exactly 🙂ReplyCancel
Dont think she said it either, i think its what YOU think she was thinking. Peeps here made good points; an actress makes a crappy movie, her career is over. If its a man, its usually the director or the material let THEM down. Its show BUSINESS folks, you make a movie, do the best u can and move on.ReplyCancel
I really don't think she needs the money, she has plenty and would be just fine making endorsement money from now on.ReplyCancel
I'm just surprised she can move her lips to even speak after all that damn Botox.ReplyCancel
Nicole was good in Dead Calm and To Die For. Anything else where her performance was fit, she wasn't acting. The Others? An ice queen, detached from reality? That's our girl. Btw, after Australia, when critics panned her acting, Nicole said something akin to I agree, I am not proud of my performance in that film.
My question is that if all Enty's gossip about her were true, then I want to know why Keith doesn't just divorce her? His stock would go up dramatically, and my guess is that if she played her cards right, hers could, too. But, she needs to address the GMD and the loss of her children, otherwise, she will always be seen as a cold, heartless robot.ReplyCancel
Sorry to admit it, love her in Bewitched. She is very cute in that movie, but she threw in the towel a decade ago. Hollywood is not for woman in their 40s. sucks. Thought she was great in that Kubrick film.ReplyCancel
Acting makes her feel wanted and relevant … the day that offers stop coming will be very dark for her.
Not that I think the offers will stop coming – she continues to be in demand, despite some of her latter movies not being box office hits, and is renowned for being a hard worker who just gets stuck in and gets the job done without a lot of fuss that some of her younger peers create.ReplyCancel
This is probably about Grace of Monaco. If the movie is being pulled from theatres…it can't be good.
I think her acting skills went downhill after all the Botox and plastic surgery. How is she going to express genuine emotion if she can't even move her face properly? She's frozen.
As for taking roles for pay checks, I don't care. Acting is also a business, and these people have to make some money every now and then. I understand. It gives them more flexibility to do the work they actually want to do.
Kidman has made tons of bad movies over the years. I'm not sure why people think she'd suddenly stop being in demand because of that. She's still getting roles. Yes, the business is more forgiving of male actors with flops, but certain female actors can get away with it and I think she's one of them, just because of how renowned she still is.ReplyCancel

Calcium is the most prevalent mineral in the human body. It plays an important role in maintaining good health. For example:
The recommended intakes for calcium are:
Dairy foods—milk, yogurt, and some cheeses—are the best dietary sources of calcium. These foods are also rich in
vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium.
Absorption of calcium from some other dietary sources is not as great as that from dairy foods. Specifically, dark green vegetables contain oxalates, and grains contain phytates, which can bind with calcium and decrease their absorption. However, these foods still provide a good way to add calcium to your diet. Some examples of green vegetables that are good calcium sources are kale, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage.
Read the Nutrition Facts label on tofu and fortified products to determine specific calcium levels of these foods.
Some people have
difficulty digesting lactose, which is the main sugar in milk and some dairy products. This occurs when the body does not produce enough of the enzyme lactase to properly digest lactose. People with this condition, called lactose intolerance, may experience nausea, cramping, bloating, abdominal pain, gas, and
diarrhea. This can occur anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours after eating milk or milk products.
If you have lactose intolerance, take the following steps to be sure you meet your calcium needs:
If you are unable to meet your calcium needs through dietary sources, ask your doctor if you should take a calcium supplement. The two main types of supplements are carbonate and citrate. Calcium carbonate (Tums and Rolaids) is best taken with food. Calcium citrate can be taken with or without food, and may have better absorption in people older than 50 years old. Some points to remember when choosing and using a calcium supplement include:

I see, so the general consensus is that the Byakugan was the progenitor for all Dojutsu. If so that could explain how Madara could tell that the real Naruto was not there and that Obito was fighting clones, but at the same time I find it quite odd that Madara would bother to revert back to the Sharingan from the Rinnegan to cast Genjutsu on Raikage and was not shown reverting to Byakugan to examine Naruto. I do rather like the idea though, it would be interesting if Madara could use all three doujutsu seeing as how he has the knowledge of the tablet left by the 1st Uchiha.
I think it's simply more a show of clan arrogance rather than becoming so inbred that it's impossible to marry outside of the clan. Keeping the bloodline pure has been done often throughout history because they thought it keeps their bloodline strong when in actuality the lack of diversity weakens it. It probably all boils down to a simple matter of control. If a hyuuga were to marry into other clans they wouldn't be able to control them as if they were their own. The mark on Neji's forehead is a testament to how despotic the Hyuuga clan is.
@knife eater
I often wonder if the SO6P's sons were birthed naturally, and weren't simply created from Izanagi. Distributing specific traits amongst your children seems like it wouldn't occur naturally, and the only other way I could see it happening is if he could somehow manipulate the birthing process and designate which traits of his they would receive while they were still in the womb.

Being a Jets fan it was tough seeing the Pats in it 3 outta 4 yrs from 2001-2005 and even tho they lost last yr in the playoffs too I kind of get the feeling this was the one that put an end to the patriot dynasty. neway back to the superbowls. 2001,2003, and 2004 sucked for obvious reasons guyz!!! 2002 was just a horrible horrible superbowl. for those who dont remember that was bucs vs raiders in a blowout and chad's magical yr. i truly believe had we beaten the raiders that yr we wouldve won it all but its all in the past. then you've got the 2000 super bowl giants vs ravens.... what can u say about that one but besides the fact the giants losing was great it was a herendous super bowl to watch. last yr, while closely contested, i dont think there was much general interest. which leads me to the last great super bowl... 1999 rams vs titans. and now finally after 6 grueling super bowls i'm really psyched about this one. Manning and the colts deserve this more than anyone else in sports it's just their time. JETS IN 2007!

Emery High's baseball team, finishing second in region 8, went to the home fields of Judge Memorial Catholic High School last Saturday and split their two games of the opening weekend of 3-A State baseball playoffs. Emery lost the opener to Park City 10-5 and then defeated Morgan 15-10 to stay alive in the tournament. Emery will now travel to Taylorsville High School and play Wasatch at 1:30 p.m. this Thursday.

Emery took the lead in the bottom of the third inning as they pushed three runs across the plate. Gatlan Huntington led off with a double, Ryne Jones singled, Blake Mortensen tripled and Derrick Allred singled for the Spartans.
Park City came right back in the top of the fourth inning and scored six runs and the lead. After the first batter grounded out to the shortstop and the second batter got thrown out at second base trying to steal, the Miners had seven straight batters get on base. Three singles, two walks, a double and two Emery errors led to the runs.

In the fifth inning, Colby Snow doubled and scored on a single by Addison Collard. Park City added two runs in the fifth inning.
Against Morgan, things did not look great at the beginning of the game as the Trojans scored five runs in the top of the first inning. Emery retaliated immediately as they scored six in the bottom of the first and then six more in the bottom of the second. Emery added a single run in each of the third, fourth and sixth innings while Morgan added two in the second, two in the third and one in the seventh inning as the Trojans got eliminated from play.
In the bottom of the first inning, Huntington led off with a single, Gee walked, Jones walked, Mortensen got hit by a pitch, Snow got hit by a pitch, Taylor Tanner got on by an error, Collard walked, Allred hit a sacrifice fly and Steven Giles singled for the six runs.
In the bottom of the second inning, Jones singled, Mortensen singled, Snow singled, Tanner walked, Collard singled, Giles doubled, Huntington singled and Gee singled with Huntington getting thrown out trying to advance to third base on Gee's single.

CHICAGO -- Jabari Parker added another honor to his spectacular prep career Monday.
Coming off last weekend's fourth consecutive Illinois high school championship, the Chicago Simeon Academy senior was named the nation's top male basketball player.
The 6-foot-8 McDonald's All-American, who has verbally committed to play at Duke, received the Morgan Wootten Player of the Year award. Taya Reimer, a 6-foot-3 standout from Hamilton Southeastern (Ind.) High School set to play at Notre Dame, won the award for female players.
"I just thank God for the talent and ability to be able to get such an honor," said Parker, who averaged 18.3 points for Simeon, which is Derrick Rose's alma mater. "Hopefully I can take this and give myself a little more motivation."
Reimer is the daughter of Ben Davis, a 1991 McDonald's High School All-American. They're the first father/daughter duo to be so honored.
An all-state forward, Reimer also played on a gold-medal U.S. under-17 world championship team. She is her school's all-time leading scorer.
"Being named a McDonald's All-American has always been one of my dreams," she said. "And to be player of the year is really a great experience."
Parker and Reimer were among finalists announced several weeks ago. Both are set to play at the April 3 McDonald's All American Game at Chicago's United Center.

Virgin Australia group of airlines (Virgin Australia Holdings Limited – ASX: VAH) today reported a statutory Net Profit After Tax of $22.8 million, an improvement of $90.6 million on the prior corresponding period. The company reported an underlying Profit Before Tax4 of $82.5 million, which is an improvement of $149.1 million on Financial Year 2011.
Virgin Australia group of airlines Chief Executive Officer John Borghetti said: "The Group's improved financial performance throughout the year demonstrates that the Game Change Program strategy is delivering positive results despite the challenging external environment and high fuel prices.
"This is reflected in our strong yield growth, with 12.2 per cent across our domestic operations and 12.0 per cent across the Group, notwithstanding strong price competition and total market capacity growth.
"Our progress in attracting higher yielding corporate and government customers has been a key driver of our improved profitability. This segment now makes up 20 per cent of our domestic revenue and, encouragingly, over the last three months we have averaged above this level.
"Importantly, reaching the 20 per cent target is a tipping point which we believe effectively creates a new competitive norm.
"We have also benefited from increased interline and codeshare revenue from our international alliances, up 158 per cent on the prior corresponding period5, and the strong revenue performance of our regional ATR-72 turboprop operations.
"As a result, we have now diversified our revenue sources and we are in a good position to respond to changes in market conditions and drive further growth.
"Our performance this financial year is a credit to the tireless dedication of our people and the drive they have to make a real difference for our customers. It is also pleasing to see continued improvement in our already strong staff engagement scores this year.
"Since the implementation of our Game Change Program strategy, Virgin Australia has received recognition worldwide, including being voted Best Airline and Best Airline Staff Service in the Australia Pacific at the prestigious international Skytrax World Airline Awards and being ranked 12th in the world, up 20 places from 2011.
"Over a very short period we have repositioned Virgin Australia as a genuine competitor on all key customer measures, including product, network and loyalty programs, while maintaining our service and cost advantages. This has enabled us to turn around the financial performance of the airline in a difficult and highly competitive environment.
"Today's results confirm we have changed the competitive landscape in Australian aviation and we are now ready for the next phase of our development", Mr Borghetti said.
Financial and Operating Performance
"Our financial performance for the 2012 Financial Year validates our strategy to diversify our revenue base and drive yield growth.
"The Group has seen yield growth of 12.0 per cent, significantly outperforming the market. This has largely been driven by strong take-up of our new Business Class and Flexi Fares, which has seen high-yield fare revenue increase by 113 per cent.
"Following the implementation of Business Class across our trans-continental services on September 28 2011 and across our domestic network on January 18 2012, we carried double the number of Business Class customers compared to Premium Economy customers in the prior corresponding period6.
"Key to our profitability has been our commitment to maintaining our cost advantage. Even with our comprehensive program of product and brand enhancements (including establishment costs), the launch of Business Class across our domestic network and the introduction of a new catering model, we have achieved underlying CASK7 growth (excluding fuel) of 4.5 per cent.
"The new tiered hedging policy we introduced late in the 2011 Financial Year has positioned us well to operate in a continuing high fuel cost environment. The policy has provided us with a large degree of certainty in the short term, while maintaining optionality in the longer term. Costs relating to ineffective cash flow hedges and non-designated derivatives were partially affected by a temporary fuel price decline on 30 June 2012. The values of such hedges have recovered by a subsequent rise in fuel price since 30 June 2012 year end.
"Our capacity plan during the year was focused on yield and margin improvement opportunities on strategic markets as opposed to an overall Group market share goal. This strategy will continue.
"We maintained capacity growth across our domestic network of 9.6 per cent in Financial Year 2012 in line with guidance.
"This growth was driven by the replacement of Boeing 737-800s with Airbus A330-200s on transcontinental routes, strategic increases to frequencies on key corporate sectors, the launch of our regional ATR-72 turboprop network and the commencement of services on routes which previously lacked competition.
"In line with our stated aim of pursuing yield and margin improvement rather than overall market share, we expect capacity growth to be 8 – 9 per cent in the first half of the 2013 Financial Year.
"We are also pleased to have achieved an average Departure On Time Performance for the 2012 Financial Year of 82.7 per cent – an improvement of 2.8 points on the 2011 Financial Year. This includes all of our regional operations and ATR-72 turboprop services", Mr Borghetti said.
Capital Management
"The Group has remained focused on cash generation and building up our cash reserves throughout the 2012 Financial Year.
"We have achieved a strong cash position, with the total balance for the 2012 Financial Year totalling $802.6 million up $71.3 million from the 2011 Financial Year balance of $731.3 million.
"Our commitment to maintaining a solid balance of free cash has produced an unrestricted cash balance of $480.1 million, up $105.4 million from our 2011 Financial Year balance of $374.7 million.
"In light of the continuing uncertain economic environment and the need to support our current and future strategic initiatives, we will not declare a dividend. We will continue to review our dividend policy having regard to the ongoing cash requirements of the company", Mr Borghetti said.
"Over the 2012 Financial Year we have made significant progress on the realignment of our fleet; with the exit of our last Embraer 170 aircraft and the replacement of the majority of our Boeing 737-700 aircraft with Boeing 737-800 aircraft. We also launched ATR-72 turboprop operations and introduced new Airbus A330 aircraft.
"This has seen us reduce the average age of our fleet of aircraft from 4.9 years at the end of Financial Year 2011 to 4.2 years at the end of Financial Year 2012. This provides a substantial competitive advantage for our airline as it enables us to maintain a tight control on costs through improved fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance expenses, while also enhancing the customer experience through superior product and improved reliability.
"Going forward, we are focused on ensuring Virgin Australia has the appropriate mix of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft to equip us for future growth. In line with this, last month we announced an agreement with Boeing to order 23 fuel-efficient Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which will enter the fleet from 2019.
"We continue to review our wide-body requirements for beyond 2017 within a highly disciplined program of capital management", Mr Borghetti said.
Network and Alliances
"Over the past year, we have completed the implementation of all key alliances and made further enhancements to our network in line with the Game Change Program strategy.
"I am pleased to report that our turnaround strategy for the international network has been successful, with our international network profitable at the EBIT level for the past two years.
"Our Etihad Airways alliance continues to deliver value in terms of domestic feed and international connectivity. Our combined offering of 24 services per week to Abu Dhabi opens up one-stop connections to Europe, the United Kingdom and the Middle East.
"The Air New Zealand alliance was launched in July 2011 and has driven strong passenger growth on our trans-Tasman services. We have worked closely with Air New Zealand to encourage tourism across the Tasman by increasing flights during the New Zealand ski season and by launching the first international service from the Sunshine Coast to Auckland. The alliance will also provide more capacity and an improved product offering between Auckland and Perth from September this year when Air New Zealand's Boeing 777 aircraft commences operating the route.
"The Delta Air Lines alliance commenced in November 2011 and together we now offer three services per day between Australia and the United States, as well as an expanded network in North America of over 250 destinations. We have adjusted schedules to offer more choice of flight times and have moved our arrivals into Delta's dedicated T5 terminal at Los Angeles airport to reduce connection times.
"We have moved quickly to implement the Singapore Airlines alliance following regulatory approval in December 2011. Singapore Airlines began codesharing on our domestic services in February and we launched codeshare on their international services in March, enabling customers to book and travel on flights from Australia to Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing, Johannesburg and Capetown. Since March, we have expanded to additional destinations in Asia and will continue to add further destinations throughout the year.
"Following on from the first half of the 2012 Financial Year, we have continued to forge niche alliances to cover other key international leisure and business destinations. In July we added eight important cities to our network in the United States, including Washington DC, Boston and Chicago, by commencing codeshare on Virgin America services. We also commenced codeshare on Virgin Atlantic's services between Sydney and Hong Kong in April 2012.
"Our expanded global network has enabled us to significantly grow our share of international traffic connecting onto our network, with interline and codeshare revenue up more than 158 per cent compared to the prior corresponding period8.
"Domestically, we have focused on providing improved frequencies on key corporate routes and expanding our regional operations. During the Financial Year we launched ATR-72 turboprop services to Emerald, Gladstone and Port Macquarie, and this month we added Embraer 190 services to Mt Isa in Queensland. Furthermore, in recognition of the increasing importance of Darwin as a business hub and gateway to Australia from Asia, we commenced flights between Sydney and Darwin in April 2012.
"In May 2012 we received final approval from the ACCC for our expanded alliance with Skywest Airlines. The alliance enables us to jointly contract with corporate customers, offering them an integrated travel solution including scheduled and charter services to regional, domestic and international destinations", Mr Borghetti said.
Product and Brand
"During the 2012 Financial Year we have made significant progress in our goal to create a seamless, first-rate experience for customers, both in the air and on the ground. A key part of this has been updating the look and feel of our product in line with the new Virgin Australia identity and introducing a range of new service initiatives designed to enhance the end-to-end customer experience.
"In January 2012 we launched Business Class across the majority of our domestic network, giving Australian travellers a choice in Business Class for the first time in over a decade. The feedback on this service has been outstanding. We have also launched new Airbus A330-200 aircraft and ATR-72 turboprop aircraft.
"Our Embraer 190 fleet will be fitted with a dedicated Business Class cabin by early 2013. This will complete our domestic fleet reconfiguration program.
"We commenced the cabin interior refurbishment of our international fleet of five Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which will be complete by the end of the year. Significant progress has also been made on our aircraft repainting program, with over 50 per cent of our fleet of 102 aircraft now in the new livery.
"A major component of our product overhaul has been the upgrade of our airport lounges. In Financial Year 2012 we delivered new lounges in Brisbane, Mackay and the Gold Coast and enhanced the lounges in Perth and Adelaide. Later this calendar year, we will launch our flagship lounge at Sydney Domestic Airport and in 2013 we will launch new lounges in Canberra and Hobart.
"Given we have grown both our alliance and domestic business ahead of expectations, we are accelerating the pace of infrastructure upgrades. This includes enhancements at Sydney Airport's Domestic terminal (T2) which will see us extend our dedicated pier from 9 to 14 gates (including 4 wide-body aircraft gates), enabling us to make further improvements to our On Time Performance in Sydney.
"Later this calendar year we will commence implementation of a leading Wi-Fi system developed by Lufthansa Systems, which will enable customers to stream video and audio directly to their own personal electronic devices", Mr Borghetti said.
Sabre Reservations System
"The new Sabre reservations system that we announced last year will be key to driving future growth.
"The system, which we plan to implement in early 2013, will see our domestic and international products available via all distribution channels internationally, therefore expanding our reach and providing new opportunities for revenue growth. It will also enable us to move all of our airlines onto a single reservation system and single designator code. This means travel agents around the world will be able to book Virgin Australia flights with greater ease using a system that aligns with global standards.
"It will also enable us to improve interaction within our internal systems and with those of our alliance partners, therefore enhancing our ability to provide seamless domestic and international travel experiences for our customers", Mr Borghetti said
Velocity Frequent Flyer
"Early in the 2012 Financial Year we re-launched the Velocity Frequent Flyer program, with the aim of creating a program that recognises and rewards Virgin Australia's most valuable frequent flyers, providing a solid foundation for future growth.
"Velocity now offers a global network of over 600 services internationally, simplified earn and burn structures, innovative rewards and a Platinum tier for our most frequent flyers. We have also been adding new partners to the program over the year including Westfield Online and Foxtel, enabling members to earn Points with over 350 different partners.
"Since the relaunch, membership has grown to 3.2 million, up from 2.5 million at the end of June 2011. This represents an annual growth rate of 24 per cent.
"We believe there is significant opportunity for growth and have appointed a CEO for Velocity Frequent Flyer, Neil Thompson. Neil joined the organisation this month, bringing a wealth of experience in loyalty and direct marketing programs and will transform Velocity from a frequent flyer program to a broad-based loyalty program in its own right", Mr Borghetti said.
The next phase of the Game Change Program: Game On
"At the beginning of Financial Year 2011 we announced a three-year strategy, the Game Change Program, to reposition the business for a more stable financial future.
"We are now almost a year ahead of schedule on the strategy, having achieved the majority of our goals. Today's result gives us the confidence to reach for the next phase of the Game Change Program – it is now 'Game On'.
"The Game On phase of the Game Change Program will ensure a sustainable future for Virgin Australia by enabling us to capitalise on our competitive advantages and drive new growth opportunities for the business, while retaining the flexibility and agility to adapt to the changing market.
"In this phase, we will introduce further innovative product and service enhancements to establish a superior position in customer experience. We will continue to develop our customer research to ensure we anticipate the changing needs of the market in this regard.
"One of the most important growth opportunities going forward will be Velocity Frequent Flyer and the potential to create a major broad-based loyalty program. This will see the program achieve over 5 million members within the next three years.
"A critical part of the Game On phase will be ensuring that the airline remains efficient and nimble as it grows. To this end, we will be implementing a three-year business efficiency project aimed at delivering productivity gains of around $400 million, with a run rate of $200 million per annum by the end of Financial Year 2015. This project will be structured to ensure we have a sustainable cost advantage in the future.
"In this phase we will also be concentrating on improving our access to global markets in order to drive further revenue growth. We estimate this work will enable us to capture an additional $150 million per annum in interline and codeshare revenue by the end of Financial Year 2015.
"Maintaining and enhancing our service excellence will remain a focus for the business, as it is our key differentiator in the airline industry.
"Finally and most importantly, over the past two years our airline has undergone an enormous amount of change in order to reposition the business for a stable financial future. The level of transformation that has been achieved in such a short period of time is extraordinary, especially considering the unprecedented external challenges that we have faced. It is thanks to our people, and their unwavering determination to deliver on our strategy and to go above and beyond, that we have been able to achieve this transformation. Today's results are a credit to their outstanding efforts and I would like to express my sincere gratitude for their dedication and hard work", Mr Borghetti said.
"Virgin Australia has delivered an improved result for the 2012 Financial Year, notwithstanding higher fuel prices. Given the uncertain economic environment we are unable to provide clear 2013 Financial Year guidance at this stage. With the Game Change Program largely embedded, we are confident we have established a sound platform from which we can respond to changing market conditions", Mr Borghetti said.

Exposure to HIV medications has been associated with metabolic changes including generalized fat depletion (lipoatrophy), high triglyceride levels, and in some patients, high sugar levels or diabetes. This syndrome is associated with a deficiency of leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells. Recent studies involving leptin administration to patients with congenital lipoatrophy have shown dramatic improvements in metabolic parameters such as insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia. Leptin administration to patients with HAART-induced lipoatrophy may also lead to significant improvements in the metabolic abnormalities found in these HIV+ patients. The aims of this study are to examine the effect of leptin administration on insulin resistance and other parameters of the metabolic syndrome in HIV patients with HAART-induced lipoatrophy.

Every year before Lent, many cities participate in festivities that basically blow all of the others out of the water. Whether you call it Carnival or Mardi Gras, these celebrations are over the top and outrageous, but what WE love most about them is the style inspiration! Check out these amazing photos of Carnival around the world!
Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is wild, loud, and vibrant! Paraders dance to the classic Brazilian dance, the samba, all while wearing gorgeous costumes with gigantic feathered headpieces. The celebration lasts for days, and the revelers are invited to join in on the fun by jumping into the parade! We love the costumes because they are so intricate and exciting!
While the Carnival in Rio may be racy, the Carnival festivities in Venice might be the exact opposite! Most people walk around cloaked in ornate costumes with beautiful masks covering their faces. Many centuries ago masks were worn frequently in Venice, and scholars have suggested that it was a way to disguise your social ranking in everyday life. When the mask came on a pauper could be a prince. These masks are often made with leather, porcelain or glass, and then decorated with gold and jewels.
In New Orleans, Mardi Gras is the main event. A combination of Venice's masks and Rio's headdresses with a penchant for gold, green and purple; this celebration is known nationwide! People flock from all over the globe to experience this event with a uniquely Louisiana vibe.
Have you ever been to any Carnival-type celebrations? If not, which would you love to go to?

Skip to comments.No media coverage
Posted on 03/03/2012 4:40:33 AM PST by Yooperman
Here we go again.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Chris Plante and others had nothing to say about the news of Sheriff Joe's investigation.
What/who is controlling them?
I thought it was on FOX News with Brett Baier on "the Grapevine"
Hannity is neutered blah blah blah, the good twin of blowhard O Reilly
Notice the Trump was silenced
any gumshoe could run a check on the faux ssn's and expose this guy, so why hasn't anyone?
God Keep Sheriff Joe
Now that FOX is the one to reveal the videos, they will be edited and not at all what Breitbart would have released.
Too bad they won't be released as Breitbart would have done it, and why are they not being released on one of Breitbart's own websites?
Do we know for a fact that the FOX release is a change in ABs plan?
I've never heard anything concrete about their release - how or when...
There is no upside to getting on the bandwagon.
You could have film of him being born in Kenya and there would be no follow up legal action to remove him.
The media will not find it interesting or alarming.
The courts won't touch it.
Congress won't touch it.
Nothing would ever happen.
So, there is no merit continuing on this path.
Your outrage is of no value.
Just beat him at the ballot box.
Everything else is a waste of time.
Ask Breitbart.
The videos WILL be on HANNITY. Sean Hannity and Andrew were close friends and Steve Bannon has said he WILL be back on HANNITY show approx 7-10 days with video! They are going through the videos now and getting ready to be presented.
I understand that Breitbart's staff people are dedicated, savvy, fearless, well-trained patriots who can be trusted to carry on the work as intended. No doubt the widow owns the business and the rights now, anyhow.
The videos will get the widest audience on Fox, rest assured. Plus, I can't picture the Breitbart enterprise turning over unlimited contract editing rights to Fox or anyone else.
Breitbart's wishes will be respected, I have no doubt.
That's good information and I'm glad to know it, Leni. Thanks
My bad
The sheriff Joe investigation/actions will only EXPAND, it will have to be covered by news media.

At least someone else agrees with me.
I do not think Obama was pre-selected or groomed to be POTUS. I think that just happened because he was a good public speaker in the Chicago machine.
Remember Jesse Jackson's reaction to BHO's campaign - "cut his nuts out"? Quite a few black leaders were upset that BHO jumped the gun and ran. They were hoping to have more time to clean things up.
"The sheriff Joe investigation/actions will only EXPAND, it will have to be covered by news media."
Who will cover it? The NY Times? Bill O'Reilly? Maybe CBS News? Oh, NBC will certainly cover it, right? How about ABC News?
It will NEVER be covered by the media. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to step back, take a deap breath, shake their heads in disbelief at the insanity that is whirling around them and find something else to concentrate on to remove the Marxist of questionable origins from the White House.
Well, nit-wit Todd Schnitt had PLENTY to say....and every bit of it was how nuts and bizzare Birthers are. He screamed at callers that Arpaio was just an attention seeker.
Why should they rock the boat? Better to ignore it and keep Obama on the ticket than to get rid of him and face Hillary. Plus why muddy the water for Jindal and Rubio?
Reps don't care any more about the Constitution than the Dems too. They just do a better job of acting like it.
We shall see, if and when the Breitbart video of obama/Ayers/college days are released. The domestic terrorists put on suits and infiltrated our governmental institutions. The obama/ayers connection is an example. I disagree with you, I think obama was groomed for exactly what is happening now.
What astounds me the most is how people today think Barry Hussein Soetoro AKA Obama is not a Communist.
And the press, from here on out, will see Arpaio as just another WND employee.
What astounds me the most is how people today think Barry Hussein Soetoro AKA Obama is not a Communist.
Common sense.
I dont think you're going to find Ayers on these tapes - If we take Steve Bannon at his word - (he called them "Obama Harvard Tapes") - which sounds more late 80s, than late 70s.
But - I would love to hear what happened at the Brietbart-Ayers dinner meeting a few nights before.
Maybe it's because they think — like I do - that it's a total waste of time and money which would be far better spent on defeating Zero at the ballot box in November?
I certainly would like to know too but I agree with those here that elements of fear must be in the mix. Fear based on direct threats from govt. sources of power/their lackeys? - quite possible.
But even if it is as simple as their bosses' threats, we can't blame Rush or anybody else to not weigh in the self interested concerns emmanating from being thrown off the air. We can speculate that's a terrible and selfish attitude on his or anyone's else part who is similarly situated, but c'mon folks, who among us free patriots wouldn't allow for their self concern for their living? They aren't sucking off the govt. They are independent entrepenuers. But they have rules imposed on them.
I hate it for sure. But what would any of us do? There may be a time coming soon where we all have some pretty heavy decisions to make that include making a sacrafice of our very lives or freedom. I'm hoping for now that for me and mine, its just who for or whether I'm even going to vote. In light of everything I think I'm gonna have to vote for that weirdo from MA or MI or from whatever planet he's hoping to rule in the afterlife.
That kind of rabid behavior is only born out of idiocy or fear. Which is the case for this guy you're talking about?
We're seen Glenn Beck act the same way and Glenn Beck is not an idiot.
The media have just had a reminder that young reporters in their prime of life who have just interviewed Joe Arpaio can all of a sudden have a heart attack and die.
Expect them to hysterically try to silence the facts. The "threats" theory predicts that to happen. Now everybody observe what happens. One of the big measures of a theory is whether it accurately predicts what will happen.
IF HE'S THE NOMINEE I should say!!!
The news media does not have to cover this. Did they cover Kerry's Swiftboat scandal...except to laugh at the people exposing it?
If Rush brings this up...what happened to him last week...the stuff done by the msm will pale.
Anybody that brings up Obama's phoney LFBC/Draft card...will be history.
The only guy who would not back down from the threats was Brietbart. His death is a cautionary tale...think Tucker Carlson and others who were close to Andrew haven't noticed?
Tapes of Obama in college were to emerge on March 1, the day of Brietbart's death...today's the 3rd...nothing yet...think folks arent' thinking about the implications?
So we should beat Obama at the polls??? Then what...put a liberal from Massachusetts in office.
Oh...yeah, THAT's the ticket.
Maybe they actually have an interest in winning in 2012. The BC issue is a sure ticket to loss of both houses in addition to the presidential election, most contested governorships and state legislatures.
I'm really tired of the idea that a little liberal is better than a big liberal...not so. The two party system, where liberals are nominated by both...is a trap that leads to...more liberalism.
Long past time...if Romney is the nominee...a serious third party movement, perhaps led by Gingrich is necessary.
Perot did it in '92...and it can be done today.
In what serious way is Romney different from Obama?
Like I said...you obviously haven't been paying attention.
Well, let's see...
He doesn't want to radically transform our country in a Marxist direction.
He doesn't want to continue apologizing to our enemies.
He doesn't want to allow doctors to kill babies even after they are born alive.
He doesn't have a desire to put lestists on the Supreme Court who will view our own Constitution as obsolete and favor looking to foreign law.
He isn't part of the corrupt and evil Chicago machine.
He was not a revolutionary Marxist schooled by Bill Ayers.
He doesn't have a desire to redistribute wealth regardless of its effect on freedom and the economy.
He doesn't hate his country.
Need more?
He's Obama writ small. He wants the same national health insurance...he is for big government...and more taxes...he's been for abortion before he was against it...he supported homosexual marriage.
The list goes on and on and on. He'd manage the rot Obama plans to cave-in.
In the end...not enough difference to matter.
No more Doles, McCains, or Romneys...let's have the GOP stand for conservativism. Romney is no conservative.
When a county judge demands proof of identification to be on the ballot, you're going to see shit hit the fan. These detectives are going to be called in to testify.
so you are saying he is an eligible fraud, nothing to see here? Would you vote for a fraud?
No, I would not vote for a fraud. I would not vote for Obama anyway. I do not understand why he was allowed to run with all of his past history sealed. How did that happen?
Every candidate up until these last two election cycles, with one exception who did not get caught until out of office, qualified for the office. Now we have Romney, Santorum, McCain, Obama and two VP possibles Jindal and Rubio all of whom fail to qualify because the are not Natural Born Citizens. Do you think this a coincidence?
I've noticed the same thing. Remember how Orin Hatch was drooling over Arnold Schwarzenegger for President?
They are all in on it.
"What/who is controlling them?"
Romney is my least favorite of all the candidates, but he doesn't represent near the danger to America as obama does...
I believe that Romney "is" far more dangerous to America than Obama is.
I will not vote for either of them!
In what serious way is Romney different from Obama?
Obama wants to be liked. Romney could not care less and will ram totalitarian control down our throats.
I saw that. I notice it's impossible to report the story without giving even more time to the DOJ's investigation of Arpaio. And a nice chuckle in there too.
The Breitbart death serves the "Obama" team on several levels:
1. It disrupts the news cycle (as did the bomb scare at Limbaugh's house) so that the media talking heads have something, anything to report other than the findings of Sheriff Joe's Cold Case Possse.
2. Gets rid of a (from their perspective) persistent threat.
3. Sends a very clear and chilling message to any journalists out there contemplating reporting on the issue of "Obama"'s background, including eligibility ramifications, with the seriousness it surely merits.
A colleague of mine and I were discussing the day before the press conference what big news event would take place that would distract from reporting on the Cold Case Posse investigation results. Bam! Right on schedule.
The NDAA went into effect Thursday. We sure heard all the media screeching about that didn't we? No?
Advertisers, you're right.
Rush, he's lost many over slutgate.
They are afraid of being accused of treason.
Timidity will cost them much more.
I was a regular for Rush for almost 20 years. I heard the slut joke and loved it. When he refused to call for the bc I dropped Rush.
