Virgin Blue Boosts Tourism And Business Services26/05/2002
New Sydney-Cairns Direct Daily To Open Australian Tourism
Exchange-Special Launch Fare of $168 Plus Charges For July and August*
More Peak Hour Business Services On Melbourne-Sydney & Brisbane-Sydney
Improved Sydney-Adelaied Business Day Return
Virgin Blue continues its accelerated expansion by announcing a number of new services including direct flights between Sydney and Cairns starting in time for the July holidays while ramping up frequency across popular business routes.
Virgin Blue today announced new direct services between Sydney and Cairns starting July 1.
To celebrate this new service, from today until 4 June* Virgin Blue will be making a special launch offer of $168 one-way (up to $189.46 including all taxes, levies and charges)** for a limited number of seats on every flight during July and August.
The announcement of the new service coincides with the opening of the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE) in the airline's home state of Queensland and the release of Virgin Blue's special fares and distribution policies aimed at international inbound tourism operators.
After Virgin Blue's successful move into the Cairns domestic terminal facilities, the airline has stood by its commitment to continue to add services to one of Australia's key tourism destinations.
Virgin Blue has recently experienced strong growth of both business and holiday traffic on its direct Melbourne - Cairns and Brisbane - Cairns services.
The Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Blue, Brett Godfrey commented, With Australian Airlines set to bring so many more international holiday makers to Cairns, we figured a lot of these people would also want a friendly and affordable option as they travel onwards through Australia from the Tropical North. With our new inbound travel policy on offer, we want to ensure that every niche in the travel market, including international inbound traffic, is not beholden to a domestic monopoly.
Brett Godfrey added As long as Australian Airlines sticks to its promise to bring more domestic visitors to Australia, and is not used to downgrade Qantas' domestic service, we see it as a great boost for the tourism industry and an opportunity for Virgin Blue's low-fare, high quality service to be offered to more visitors travelling via the Cairns gateway.
The new convenient non-stop service between Sydney and Cairns will further boost leisure market options for Sydney-siders wanting to head north for a break, while providing an efficient and cost effective link to the south for those living in the tropics.
Despite the improved convenience of this direct service, Virgin Blue will maintain its low one way fares from $198 ($219.46 including all taxes levies and surcharges)** after the launch offer expires.
Direct flights will begin on 1 July 2002 and passengers already booked on connecting Sydney - Cairns flights will have the option of free transfers to the direct flights between now and June 16 for travel on the same day.
Meanwhile Virgin Blue will also ramp up capacity on the key business routes with an increase of peak hour services between key state capitals and Sydney.
Brett Godfrey stated, With corporate traffic now making up a strong majority of our passengers, it became critical for us to ensure that we had an adequate amount of service during the peak hours that business people want to travel. As long as the flights keep filling due to our affordable fares and award-winning service, we will continue to add even greater frequency in the future.
Additional Services from July 1
SYDNEY - MELBOURNE - An increase from 11 to 13 departures daily in both directions including a new 7:45 a.m. Melbourne departure and a peak 5:30 p.m. evening return from Sydney.
SYDNEY - BRISBANE - An increase from 10 to 11 departures daily in both directions including a new early evening Sydney-Brisbane departure.
SYDNEY - ADELAIDE - An increase from 3 to 4 departures daily in both directions with a brand new 7:05 a.m. Sydney morning departure arriving 8:45 a.m. in Adelaide with more late afternoon returns allowing Sydney business travellers to get an early start on their day in Adelaide while South Australians get more options for an exciting break in Sydney.
*This offer will continue until 4 June or until sold out
**Subject to availability. For further information please contact our friendly Reservations Team on 13 6789. All fares exclude passenger ticket levy, airport charges and the global security charge. Fares are subject to availability and are $10 more by phone. In the coming weeks, Virgin Blue is making the transition to all-inclusive pricing. We're preparing our systems to offer advertised fares that will include all taxes, levies and charges and we will be transitioning to this system in the coming weeks.

that was obvious to me that minato was trained by the toads... Like father like son, and sasuke is following itachi powers... all adds up for a show down between the 2... Senjutsu is the only thing ill put in doubt the name "senjutsu"
Itachi and Sasuke are my favorite characters ever created in a anime.
"Thank you to all the writers, drawers and translator that brings us a new Naruto chapter every week. I thank you all, for all your hard work. It is in my opinion the best anime serie ever created. Domo Arigato gosaimasu! Jamata Raishu!"
We know for sure that Minato had signed the toad contract as well, so it's not very far-fetched that he could've learned senjutsu as well. Another thing, since the databook says that Minato wanted to fight Jiraiya the most, maybe minato hid his senjutsu capabilities from Jiraiya in order for him to showcase em and surprise Jiraiya in their friendly duel but he died before he could do that. There's tons of possibilities, but still a good theory, makes sense. You are truly the best theorizer on these forums. The part about Minato being able to offset kyubi's chakra and split it, it would make sense that he had access to another comparable chakra source to be able to seal the kyubi.

A bridge towards peace; the will of fire still endures!
Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
i just think minato not using the sage technique... but he just using other technique plus his genius-ness... just like why the 3rd hokage are considered the strongest hokage alongside minato..
"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..."
"Knowledge is power"
I agree that he was probably trained in the sage arts but I don't think it gave him the FTG. The way Kakashi talks about the FTG after their encounter with Madra, I think that the FTG is a Kekkei Genkai or a special move that only Yodiame could do. You might be right about the modification to the reverse summoning though.
The next Generation of perverted ninjas is fully prepared to take their place. The line of the Toad Master will never fail as long as there is a will of fire. Rest In Peace Jiraiya-sama, this world and Tsunade were not good enough for you.
I am as far beyond you fanboys as you are above the humans.
Samurai Champloo & Raikiri too
slavkovski already said what I think. Jiraiya was said to be closest, so Minato couldn't have fully mastered it.
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
you cant really take what the toad said about jiaraya being the closes one to master it. I find that anything with minato is surrounded by mystery and its like no one wants to tell naruto that the 4th is his father thats pretty strange to me
Well jiraya could master senjutsu after the death of his student who he couldn't save ? - it could be the motivation for his senjutsu training -we see the pick of jiraya (who mastered senjutsu) in his frog hermit uniform so it could be like 10 year's from now when he mastered it, besides it was stated that jiraya left the village for couple years...some say that to stop orochimaru but he was fighting him and he couldn't stop him so this could be another reason for him to get power up (senjutsu)...
...and there probably wasn't time to train minato because of war, he himself didn't have the senjutsu at that time because of it(I think)... and that's why he was able to master it only at time of peace and that's why the PA frog sayed that he was the best senjutsu master ever lived...

I'm rewatching Naruto now with my wife and noticed a few things. First, his sand controlling abilities, these came from his mother right? Or rather, the auto-defense of the sand came from his mother? Controlling sand is like his clans ability? Like other people control other elements or? There seems to be some inconsistencies here, because other seem to state that the ability to control sand comes from Shukaku. What does it really come from?
I also believe it was stated (haven't gotten quite there yet in the anime) that Gaara's black lines around his eyes was due to his lack of sleep? Which can't be the case because his father also has those in the manga when he comes back as an edo. Though his eyes gradually get black lines, similar as Gaara has allways. So are the black lines around his eyes a result of the sand controlling jutsu? And the reason Gaara has those lines permanently is because of his mothers auto defense? Making that ability stay constantly on? Or?

Doug Gilmour, the 1993 Maple Leafs, and the need for perspective
Jeff Veillette
October 05 2012 05:49AM
Our friend Jeff Veillette from Leafs HQ and Marlies HQ will stop by from time to time to give us his perspective on the Marlies and ruminate on the Leafs. Today, he takes issue with a Maple Leafs fan poll that listed Doug Gilmour as the best centreman in Leafs history .
Remember that team? The one that was one win away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals after a couple of dismal seasons? Their regular season and playoff points leader may have been a little bit on the short side, but his dazzling passing ability brought the team back from the dead. Then, who could forget the whiz kid sniper! He may not have been from around here, and his production may have dropped come playoff time, but he was always good for a goal that lifted you off your seat. How about the veteran leader, who's best days were thought to be behind him, but still had a solid year and a massive trio of playoff rounds?
That's not even all, we're only naming a few. How about the guy who could pitch in goals, but also throw the body around and drop the gloves when necessary? The chippy, misunderstood former first round pick who really came into his own in terms of effectiveness this year? The sharpshooter that nobody expected to leave his team not even a year before? The reliable, lunch bucket bottom six? Even passing by the forwards, how about the defence core, consisting of a lot of names that would be somewhat familiar to the average fan, but worked together to be a steady, shutdown core held together by that new French Canadian coach's defensive system?
One thing's for sure, the new GM, who's beginnings came from an original six team, really knew what he was doing. We all thought going with that goalie was risky, with his age constantly being questioned, but he unexpectedly had a stellar year.
This was an underdog team. People will point out that they were 8th overall going into the playoffs, and only let in about 240 goals that year, but still, I refuse to see them as anything else. I really do believe they could've won the cup if they faced that Canadian team from the other conference in the finals. In any event, their next season saw them in blue in white uniforms, trying again.
Pencils down, kids. Let's see what you got in this fill in the blanks test.
If your team was the 1992/93 Leafs, your short playmaker was Doug Gilmour, your sniper was Nikolai Borschevsky, your veteran was Glenn Anderson, your hitter/fighter/scorer was Wendel Clark, your first rounder was Rob Pearson, the sharpshooter was Dave Andreychuk, your bottom six had the likes of Peter Zezel and Mark Osborne, and your defensive core reminded you of Todd Gill, Jamie Macoun, Dave Ellett, and many others. Pat Burns was the new coach, Cliff Fletcher the new GM, who started in Montreal. The risky goalie due to his age? None other than Felix Potvin. They would have beat the Habs.
Your mark is a zero.
Building a narrative
The correct answer was the 2010/11 Tampa Bay Lightning, your midget disher was Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos was lighting the lamp, Vincent Lecavalier showed us he still had it, Ryan Malone proved his utility, Steve Downie is still misunderstood, Simon Gagne was destined to remain a Flyer before July 1st, your grinders include Dominic Moore and Sean Bergenheim, nothing about Matthias Ohlund, Pavel Kubina, or young Victor Hedman particularly jumped out at you this year, but they got the job done, allowing a near identical amount of goals in to the '93 Leafs, under the guidance of Guy Boucher. Former Detroit Red Wings player Steve Yzerman really knew what he was doing when he gave Dwayne Roloson his last gasp. It's a shame they never got to face the Canucks though, losing in game seven to the Bruins.
I mean, I could've thrown in that the team that eliminated them had someone who very recently became a villain to Leafs fans for somebody else's judgement play the best game of his career to date late in the series, but you would've probably thought of Wayne Gretzky and his high stick instead of Tyler Seguin and the Phil Kessel trade.
"Why did you do that? Nobody cares about the Tampa Bay Lightning! They're just a good, but not great team that not only didn't win the Cup, they didn't even make it to the finals!"
Today, something that at face value is really insignificant happened - the Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled the results of a Facebook survey of their 650,000 readers, deciding who the best Leafs centre of all time is. Anybody who can look at this objectively will have an argument for one of Mats Sundin, Darryl Sittler, Dave Keon, or Ted "Teeder" Kennedy. All four of these guys were with the Leafs for eons, were the long term faces of the franchise, and dwarf most people's end contributions with the team. George Armstrong can be thrown into the conversation, along with many others.
LEAFS ALL-TIME CENTREME N ( via Hockey-Reference.com )
|HR Point Shares
|Mats Sundin
|Darryl Sittler
|Dave Keon
|Ted Kennedy
|Norm Ullman
|Doug Gilmour
The people chose Doug Gilmour. I was floored. Gilmour's 92/93 year was probably the best single season anybody has had in a Leafs uniform, and nobody will really try to deny that. He was putting up absurd numbers the half season before and the year after, but after that, saw three seasons as a very good but not mind-blowing centre. All combined, he played parts of six years in Toronto, but it was really closer to five.
The best Leafs centre of all time? Not a chance. But it's the 92/93 romanticism—where every player on that roster, especially the high impact ones, are put on pedestals that would lead you to believe the team won five Stanley Cups before folding immediately. They won two out of four rounds and then proceeded to do that three more times in the next decade, but none of those runs are talked about now.
Doug Gilmour is my all time favourite Leaf. I devoted countless hours I should've been focusing on school sketching Felix Potvin. I memorized The Passion Returns and The Leafs Are The Best. But that run was 20 years ago. To this day, it's a gold standard for a fanbase that hasn't seen true success in a long time. The fanbase's wants and expectations for the team today seem to be shaped around it.
The perspective of the team's 95-year history has been warped by it. It's time to move on. The 1993 Leafs were just another team, like the 2002 Maple Leafs or the 2011 Lightning, that came close to the Final and didn't quite make it.
my romanticized time with the Leafs was 99-lockout, and Mats was the centre of it all.
(hey? yeah? get it?)
92-93 is history for me, the season gretzky became a villain and then, once i learned that was NOT the elimination game after years of assuming, the Leaf lost at their chance to come back from the adversity of game 6.
i'm happier for not having lived through it. i got a longer run of potential success, and lots of eliminating the Sens as my initiation into Leafs nation.
makes the bitterness all the more fresh...
oh, unless I'm talking to my wife, then we were robbed because we'd totally have destroyed the habs in the finals.
October 05 2012, 05:38PM
Great post! I've long since been burned out about the 1993 team (I've known more than a couple people who legitimately think the NHL rigged the conference finals) as the Best Leaf Team of all Time or whatever and especially on the cult of Gilmour. For my money, the best Leaf of my lifetime is Sundin. Why he doesn't easily get that credit blows my mind.
It's time to move on I agree but I don't think any Centreman that has suited up for the #Leafs made a bigger impact on the team than Doug Gilmour did in 93 & 94. Sundin missed a majority of games in 1999 playoffs & 2002 playoffs. Sundin, Sittler & Keon were great so was Armstrong. But did they make as big of a impact on the Leafs that Gilmour did those 2 years?

nah tobi is madara i would have it any other way. that washed up old man could never be tobi, let alone have a sharingan. n again "im not reading all that" i dont have time to read ur dodle
nah tobi is madara i would have it any other way. that washed up old man could never be tobi, let alone have a sharingan. n again "im not reading all that" i dont have time to read ur dodle
Well, we forget one thing. Go read Sasuke's fight with Deidara Again. Notice anything? NO? Well, look closely at the part where Sasuke tryies to "kill" tobi. If I remember correctly, Tobi just stood up as though nothing happened. This was the part where sasuke said Tobi could regenerate(?) his body.
So, wouldn't it make sense that Tobi is Obito? Seeing as he can regenerate his body. Obito's right side was crushed, and he gave his left sharingan to kakashi, so he was only left with the right one. If his body had regenerated, he would only have the right sharingan. And he has the same hairstyle as obito
And to go back on topic, I don't feel that Danzou could be Tobi. Tobi made the Akatsuki members believe that he was a jokester. I don't feel that Danzou can pull something like that off.
my youtube because i KNOW you want to see my Bleach and Naruto AMV's.......
The same logic can be used to argue against the Tobi = Madara Uchiha theory. Both Obito and Madara and supposed to be dead. It is true Tobi said he has the power of Madara Uchiha...but he said it in a way that suggested that he merely wielded it...or acquired it...not that he actually was Madara himself...
It makes most sense that Tobi = Obito. The similarities just cannot be denied (Hairstyle, the missing left eye, temperament *he treats others very kindly just as Obito did*)
I firmly believe that Tobi is Obito although I cannot begin to explain how Obito is still alive. (If you look at Tobi, he has a lot of bolts inserted into the left side of his body mainly.. (where Obito was crushed by the rocks) as well as other parts of his body...Indicating that Obito must have somehow survived.
I meant to say right...but either way...the bolts are on both sides of his body... (as he eventually got completely crushed.)
its star wars all over again, tobi is darth vader :O
i don't believe in this "tobi= danzou theory" when you look at chp 281 for example you see a scene with zetsu, tobi and deidara and after that scene kishi jumps to konoha there you can see danzou who tells sai that he is now assined to team kakashi
sry for my bad english

Elk Hunting in Colorado with Over-the-Counter Elk Tags
Units 481, 56, 57, 58, 561, & Trophy Unit 49.
Also OTC tags available for units 681, 82, & 86.
This is a great Colorado elk hunt at a reasonable price! This outfitter offers this over-the-counter rifle elk hunts, archery elk hunts, elk hunting on private land, and limited entry trophy elk hunts in Colorado.
We personally hunted with this outfitter, and he and his crew are some of the hardest working guys in the business.
Start Planning Your Colorado Elk Hunt Request Prices
If you're a serious hunter, then you will appreciate this outfitter. We work hard for our hunters, and expect our hunters to do the same. Our hunts are physically demanding and we appreciate when our hunters are prepared. The better shape you are in when you get here, the better we can do for you.
Glassing, spot-and-stalk and/or calling depending on the season. Hunters can expect to go to bed at a reasonable time and get up between 4:30 & 5:30am depending on if you are taking horses or hiking. They always pack a lunch so that you can stay out all day if needed. You should expect to hike several miles per day in steep conditions.
Success rates and trophy quality are both very good for over-the-counter elk hunting units. You get the best of both worlds when it comes to the units they hunt. Limited license areas that you can draw for, which hold more game and some bigger bulls. But if you don't draw, they also have open units, which means you can buy your license over the counter. These units usually have more hunting pressure, but there are more areas to hunt and still a large number of elk.
They don't guarantee 6-point bulls like some of the private land hunts can. Expect to hunt hard for "real elk." Their success rate hovers around 50%, but their opportunity rate is 80%. Not bad for an over-the-counter elk tag.
If you are interested in a higher-odds elk hunt on private land, this outfitter also offers Colorado elk hunts on Fisher Mesa.
We suggest that clients fly into Colorado Springs and rent a car from there if they are flying. From there whether they are driving from their home state or flying, the Outfitter will meet you in Buena Vista or Salida the day before the hunt, where you would either take horses into camp or a vehicle depending on what unit you are hunting in.
These Colorado elk hunts are based out of one of three wall tent camps depending on what units you are hunting.

Increase the size of the pilot flame is possible (on some older model valves, there is an adjusting screw hiding beneath a plug that has a screw driver slot on it.

In the fantasyland that is Gov. Chris Christie's latest spate of commercials, spending is down, taxes are cut, and the state's public schools are awash in funding.
But behind the scenes, it's a different story.
At every turn—often in ways that go unnoticed or appear clean of the governor's fingerprints—taxes are up and money is being redistributed from the poor and middle class to the wealthier residents of the state.
The governor touts his "real property tax cap" but ignores the impact of his drastic reductions in property tax rebates. The true effect? Net property taxes rose 18.6 percent in Christie's first three years in office. By comparison, in Gov. Corzine's last three years in office, net property taxes rose 6 percent.
Meanwhile, Christie left intact a property tax credit that favors wealthier residents of the state.
According to an NJ Spotlight (njspotlight.com) analysis of total property tax bills coupled with rebate reductions, a Mendham Township household with an annual income of over $550,000, living in a home typical for that income level and community, pays a net 2 percent of that household income in property taxes when their tax bill and state and federal tax property tax credits are factored in.
A Mount Holly family living in a home and within an income typical for that community pays a net 5.8 percent of household income in property taxes. And a Newark family pays 13.5 percent of household income in net property taxes.
So while the governor may have put money in residents' penny jars by "slowing property tax growth," he's quietly raided their checking accounts by slashing their property tax rebates.
In December, Christie and Commissioner of Education Chris Cerf issued the first Educational Adequacy Report. This is a report that is required every three years under the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA). It examines whether school funding is "adequate" to meet students' needs.
In the report, the Department of Education proposed major adjustments. The Legislature objected, but the governor's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2014 implemented them anyway.
Christie's budget changes attendance calculations to cut funding
State aid calculations under SFRA begin with enrollment figures based on a three-year enrollment history. Christie's budget incorporates a new "average daily attendance" calculation, reducing aid for districts that haven't maintained a three-year average daily attendance rate of 96 percent.
So a relatively poor district of 4,641 enrolled students with a three-year rate of 93.6 percent will be treated as if it had 114 fewer students. That adds up to an $890,000 cut in state aid for that district.
Christie's budget changes "weights" for at-risk and English language learners to cut funding
SFRA recognizes that schools need extra resources to educate students whose first language is not English, whose families live in poverty, or both. Basic per pupil funding is multiplied by defined "weights" to help provide these additional resources.
Christie's budget proposal arbitrarily lowers these weights. On average, these reductions will cut funding to educate these students by more than $330 per pupil. In the neediest districts, the average reduction exceeds $990 per pupil.
Christie's budget reduces the amount of aid by assessing a new "tax" on that aid for state-funded school construction
An Education Law Center (edlawcenter.org) analysis reveals that Christie's budget proposal contains a special assessment on school districts that wipes out the state aid increases touted by Christie. The proposed assessment—to be subtracted from state aid—equals 15 percent of a district's share of principal and interest payments for state-issued school construction bonds.
The cuts in anticipated aid reach as high as $1 million for some districts. In 294 districts, the assessment is higher than the increase in promised aid. For 48 districts, the assessment is more than twice the size of their state school aid increase. For 215 districts, the assessment is imposed on budgets that already had no increase in state school aid in FY14.
So much for "the most education funding ever."

The Willits City Council held its regular meeting February 13.
The council approved the July to December 2013 schedule of payments to continue paying off debts owed by the Willits Redevelopment Agency. The payments, if finally approved by the state Department of Finance, will then be paid by the Mendocino County Auditor from collected property taxes.
The process was created by the state Legislature as part of the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the state to pay off bonds and other debts owed by the agencies without allowing new debt to be generated.
Willits still owes $4.86 million on its last redevelopment bond with annual payments of $369,000 in principal and interest.
In 2010, the city borrowed money from the Willits Redevelopment Agency's low- and moderate-income housing fund to pay a one-time lump sum state levied tax on redevelopment agencies.
The state allowed RDAs to borrow from the restricted housing fund to pay this special tax the state used to reduce the state deficit. The city never got a change to pay this fund back because the state subsequently dissolved RDAs instead. To clear up this "debt," the city has listed the $303,856 it "borrowed" on the new payment schedule. The county auditor will use property taxes collected next fiscal year to redistribute to a variety of city and county agencies via a state-mandated formula.
The city is authorized to be reimbursed for its actual administrative costs up to a maximum of $250,000 annually.
While city staff has struggled with sometimes poorly defined and conflicting state requirements, it appears most thorny issues for the Willits RDA have been resolved.
In routine business the council approved the transfer of an alcoholic beverage license from Anna's Asian House on East Mendocino Avenue to the new restaurant at the same location called Asian King.
The city approved an interim employee agreement for Adrienne Moore to continue as interim city manager for an annual salary of $104,000 while a new city manager is being recruited.
The January building inspection activity report includes one permit involving new construction for an industrial building on Roberts Drive valued at $92,500, one residential building alteration for repair of fire damage on School Street valued at $13,500 and one permit for an electrical panel valued at $1,500 on California Street. This compares to January 2012 when 11 permits were issued.
The council approved a resolution accepting the completion of the Central Street rehab-and-repaving project contract for $1,257,280.85.
A new ordinance was introduced aligning the city contracting policies with the state Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act. These new policies are less restrictive than current city procedures, which have not been revised in several years. By tying the city procedures and limits to the state act, any future state level increases will be automatically raise local limits.
The existing ordinance requires the city to use a formal sealed bid process taking about 90 days for projects expected to exceed $100,000. This limit has already been raised at the state limit to $175,000.
The revised ordinance cannot take effect until it is adopted at a regular meeting of the city council and will become final 30 days later.
The council is trying to schedule a facilitated retreat to strategize on city goals and objectives, including the hiring of a new city manager and a new city staffing structure. Interim City Manager Moore is evaluating facilitator proposals and trying to set a time for the retreat. Having one councilman unavailable for the last half of March will make scheduling the session problematic prior to the start of 2013/2014 budget discussions.

Good news, Jets fans. Your new franchise quarterback is one of the most endearing and personable individuals to enter the NFL in quite some time.
How else can you explain the spiked interest in Mark Sanchez over the final three weeks of April and the post-draft buzz surrounding the No. 5 pick? Best I can tell, no games were played during that time, yet Sanchez's stock rose as if he had led his team to some secret spring national championship.
Instead, it appears as if Sanchez was able to dazzle a number of NFL decision makers based upon his personal interaction with them at team facilities and fancy dinners. Stake your future to Sanchez over a steak at Ruth's Chris? Sign the Jets up. Sanchez is a good looking guy who does and says all the right things. His intoxicating personality left owners like Woody Johnson and Dan Snyder smitten. But is that the best way to evaluate a quarterback?
Intangibles are vitally important at every position in the NFL, especially at quarterback, and the reports from Jets camp indicate Sanchez is already holding private meetings with skill players and linemen to make sure they are on the same page. That is a great sign, but at what point can a guy's charisma and the way he handles himself overtake his on-field production? In other words, the intangibles are important but don't forget about the tangibles.
Sanchez is thought to have a strong enough arm to make all of the throws in the NFL, but it is not nearly as strong as the bazooka Matthew Stafford possesses. And Sanchez didn't start three years, like Stafford did in the SEC, because he was unable to beat out John David Booty during his time in at USC. Winning your starting job in college isn't necessarily a prerequisite for success in the NFL (Matt Cassel, Joe Flacco, etc.), but it can't be taken as a good sign that Sanchez couldn't keep the job even after Booty went down with an injury for several games.
I can't remember the last time a player's stock rose so much and he became so sought after based upon what he did at dinners rather than on an actual field. This is football, after all, and you aren't looking for a sales guy in the office that you want to be good with clients or in the board room. Personality can only take you so far. At some point you have to just produce, or else the fan base will turn on you and your charisma will no longer matter. Just ask another former Jets quarterback by the name of Favre.

Peñarol-El Tanque Sisley
Alonso was given the door, when Penarol did not win their last fixture against Wanderers. Jorge "Tito" Goncalves is the new manager. Tito was nominated when Jorge Da Silva departed but Alonso got the position.
Tito has been in Penarol for a few years leading the youth the team. For this Saturday match he has already given a call-up to one of Penarol's youngsters. Augusto Medina, is the chosen one. The 20-year-old will likely be in the bench for Saturday's match. This is Tito's first incorporation of a youth player and it's expected that Tito will incorporate more.

Four Matches on Sunday
Miramar Misiones-Danubio
Miramar newly appointed manager, Gonzalo De Los Santos will make his debut against Danubio. Miramar needs to start winning points or they will likely face relegation. Danubio will be a tough opponent, as they do not want to lose their lead in the table.
The newly appointed manager at Miramar has led to a lot be unknown in regards to the lineup this Sunday. He has been experimenting with the roster and many changes have occurred throughout the week. The only confirmation that can be made is for the first time Hugo Casada will be at least in the bench if not in the starting eleven.
Danubio lineup: Salvador Ichazo, Hugo Soria, Jadson Viera, Emiliano Velazquez, Pablo Lima, Camilo Mayada, Gonzalo Porras, Pablo Miguez, Ignacio Gonzalez, Liber Quinones, Jonathan Alvez.
Adrian Luna will start in hope to lead Defensor to victory.

Cerro Largo-Rentistas
Rentistas have been doing fairly well and Cerro Largo will be a tough opponent but Rentistas are the match favorites.

Rentistas: Guillermo Reyes, Sebastian Ramirez, Sabastian Sellanes, Ignacio Ithurralde, David Terans, Gonzalo Bazallo, Rodrigo Sebastian Vazquez, Adres Silva, Danilo Coccaro, Gabriel Costa, Guillermo Maidana.
Jose Maria Franco had been training with Juventud for three weeks and has now officially signed a contract. His incorporation is not confirmed for Sunday's match but it's highly expected. The veteran striker might just be what Juventud have been missing.
Juventud: Martin Gongora, Marcelo Rodriguez, Dario Flores, Darwin Torres, Silvio Dorrego, Cristian Latorre, Emiliano Romero, Rodrigo Viega, Marco Antonio, Nestor Silva, Gaston Otreras.
Racing: Jorge Contreras, Gonzalo Aguilar, Rodrigo Brasesco, Pablo Lacoste, Enzo Ruis, Carlos Diaz, Ernesto Dudok, Agustin Gutierrez, Christian Tabo, Luis Gorosito, Diego Zabala
Nacional tied with fifteen points with River Plate cannot risk losing the match. However, Wanderers has a quality squad but their result have not been demonstrative of that. Earlier in the week Arruabarrena has given Wanderers recognition to have a great squad and stated " They complicated Penarol in their last fixture and surely on Sunday they will be coming to "El Parque" with the objective of taking points away from us.". This will be a very entertaining match to watch.
Nacional: Jorge Bava, Pablo Alvarez, Guillermo De los Santos, Andres Scotti, Juan Manuel Diaz, Maximiliano Calzada, Diego Arismendi, Alvaro Fernandez, Ignacio Gonzalez, Ivan Alonso, Richard Porta.
Wanderers: Martin Rodriguez, Mauricio Gomez, Gaston Bueno, Martin Diaz, Maximiliano Olivera, Santiago Martinez, Guzman Pereira, Adrian Colombino, Pablo Lavandeira, Gaston Rodriguez, Rodrigo Pastorini.

I always assumed Gin might be a secret agent sent to keep tabs on Aizen or he has his own ambitions much darker than Aizen.
Somehow Gin gaining the H-cube seem scarier than Aizen as hes not the type of character who cares about being god and creating order ...just chaos and destruction.
I have a feeling he might succeed throwing everything into chaos... I think this would be a perfect end to Aizen's invincible /smug.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Haven't been here for a while, but couldn't resist the chance to say I told you.
WTF i just read?
Kick me high, hit me low, spit on me it's gonna take more than that to break my soul.
Ok, with Gin now saying that his sword is made out of dust, is anyone else thinking that Gin's and Matsumoto's zanpakutos may be related in some way?
epic shit right there
Well, it crossed my mind at one point but i always thought of Gin as the Villain's left hand, which in some cases tend to look even more sinister than the villain himself (Sojiro from Kenshin , even though Makoto shishio had the looks, for me there was always something about Sojiro that was more scary than Shishio).
With that said, It would be really interesting for me to see Gin killing Aizen and maybe taking control for even darker purposes. It is highly unlikely but it would be so cool if it did.
IF this is not the option, Gin's days are counted and it is sad because he was the coolest, mysterious and most interesting character in bleach and personally i would've preferred him dying by Ichigo's hand in an EPIC FIGHT than fighting Aizen, a guy which clearly overpowers everyone.
Why does it matter who called it? If you look at Aizen's face and how its drawn in the last chapter when Gin arrives, its blatently obvious.

Maximum of 15.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
Course Location
Linkside Conference Center
Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort
Destin, FL
July 18, 2013
Course Director
Daniel B. Rukstalis, MD, FACS
Target Audience
The program is designed for urologists and urology residents.
The National Urologic Ultrasound Faculty in collaboration with the Urologic Diagnostic and Therapeutic Imaging Committee and the AUA Office of Education presently only offers courses for physician performed ultrasound.
Urologists have an established history of the use of ultrasound in clinical practice. The availability of affordable, high-quality ultrasound instruments has permitted urologists to add renal, scrotal and bladder examinations to transrectal ultrasound of the prostate as part of the office practice of urology. Image-guided treatments such as cryotherapy and brachytherapy of the prostate and ablative therapies of renal tumors are also ultrasound dependent. Medicare utilization data demonstrates that urologists perform more residual urine determinations by ultrasound, scrotal ultrasound and renal ultrasound than any other specialist.
This course is designed to provide urologists and urology residents with the knowledge and basic skills necessary for performing urologic ultrasound. This one-day offering combines online training and testing (pre-course*) with on-site, hands-on instruction in kidney, bladder, prostate and scrotal ultrasound. Participants are evaluated by didactic testing and direct observation by faculty members to determine if they have met the course objectives. Attendees who demonstrate the hands-on skills and who pass the didactic tests, both online and on-site, will receive a CME Level 2 certificate. Proficiency and facility in performing specific ultrasound examinations will be achieved by subsequently applying these acquired skills in clinical practice.
With the establishment of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) Accreditation Program for Ultrasound in the Practice of Urology and the trend toward 3rd party payers requiring documentation of training, the AUA Hands-On Urologic Ultrasound courses provide an avenue for urologists to meet the training guidelines for the performance of ultrasound in the practice of urology.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
So if I hadn't played the beta, but still loved it... That would be okay?
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
This isn't directed at Bill:
I don't want to read or even see any reviews until the games been out at least a month and the reviewer has reached the level cap and tried dungeons, WvWvW, crafting and sPVP. Preferably on a really busy server.
Oh?! MMORPG.COM is doing an official review?
Okay then. *grin*
Bill Murphy reviewing this one then? Good!
This is the BIG one, can't wait to read the follow ups and eventually the review.

That would make it worse! I mean a game reviewer who loves games! That is just absoluty crazy and to make it worse a reviewer with a opinion!
I think the term review is not really accurate for this piece. It's more of a journal (like he said himself) a review just makes it sound...I dunno so concrete. While it could be possible the opinion of the writer is going to change while he levels.
I've been a little dissapointed with the game so far.... I'm only level 15 or so though, so here's hoping it gets better for me... I'm happy for all the fans that are liking it though. Just for me it feels a little lacking (pretty much seen this all before tbh, maybe I was expecting more after all the hype I don't really know)
Fingers crossed it gets better for me...
"I think it's been a long time since I thought about a game this much when I wasn't playing it. Does that make any sense?"
It makes perfect sense. I have the same symptoms and that's the sign of a damn addictive game.

GW2 is a very immediate mmo. You can PvP, WvWvW, crafting, and do the Dynamic Event PvE from the start. That's most of the game, though there are a few dungeons that kick in from level 30, so at 15 you likely will have experienced most of the things you can do to some degree or another. I like to play GW2 very casually as a secondary game, but if you want more then this likely isn't the game for you.
1) Reality is subjective, so are tastes.
Ofc, when we read a review, we expect the reviewer to be as impartial as possible. But, since them's gamers and humans (not static bots) they can be influenced by their expectations and tastes
If you read a review, you can easily see what bits of info you need from all the text, compare that info to other reviews and take out a mid value.
Also, i think everyone that's playing right now has enough info to have a personal idea of the game.
The ones like me, that read reviews to find out and sum up the info from the points thhey take out, are grateful for every review thy read.
One thing no one can deny tho : Interest is huge as far as i can see. Which means that if Anet plays its cards well..
It'll have a big comunity and things might start to change in the MMO Business
Originally posted by Mephster
How about more glaring issues like GW2 being a clickfest, dynamic events not as dynamic as they seem and how dynamic events don't fail very often because it is way too easy. How about the fact that this game barely innovates to push the genre forward for better things. I think this is the fairest review we are going to see without the other future reviewers being so biased. Overall I think other reviewers will keep side-stepping the major issues people have in order to make it better than it really is.
A very fair review. I feel people are nitpicking for what happens in every single MMO launch. Yes. Stuff doesn't work. But its like because stuff doesnt work in GW2 its a huge negative, where in the past if stuff doesn't work it was just part of launching a (complex) MMO. The innovation was the evolution. Lack of quest hubs. No walls of text. engaging combat (no more standing there rotating hotbars). Return back to exploration. I agree that while others have done this in the past, ArenaNET perfected it.
Speaks to the quality of the game where the only negatives are things that normally happen in an MMO. Objectively, GW2 is fun. Its not for everybody but then again you dont have to pay monthly to pay for it.
What interests me is what GW2 *may* do in the future when it matures. TONS of options to make it even better than what it is today.
Other developers need to take heed or risk releasing an atiquated product.
I have not done the fire elemental DE, but I did the Giant DE in Diasse(I may be completely off) Plateau outside of Black Citadel and let me tell you we got beat on untill we started putting messages out in map chat by the end I bet we had 20 people pounding on this big lug. The interaction of reviving and damaging was truly amazing. I thought I would miss the dedicated healer role but I surely do not with the in combat revives it makes the entire event even more dynamic and fun.
Yes I am a fanboi, and I became one this week, I finally feel like I am playing an MMO I will stick with and nothing else really matters as far as gaming. Keep up the good work.
I got GW2 a few days ago along with my guildies that defected from SWTOR to *cough*SWG while some are split up elsewhere playing World of Tanks and whatnot, I personally think GW2 is holding up to its hype- the pvp aspect is what I've been missing for years, the pve is a bit generic but still fun and events gets everyone together and brings back a bit of nostalgia of oldschool MMO games.
At all the people saying Dynamic events aren't dynamic. You have a problem with terms. Rift's PQ aren't dynamic, they are random. Dynamic means the world responds to actions.
Currently playing:Nothing
Will play: Darkfall: Unholy Wars
Past games:
Guild Wars 2 - Xpiher Duminous
Xpiher's GW2
GW 1 - Xpiher Duminous
Darkfall - Xpiher Duminous (NA) retired
AoC - Xpiher (Tyranny) retired
Warhammer - Xpiher
I agree with all the review and I would like to add another launch flaw that hopefully Anet is fixing, the party system and the overflow servers, first week it was a mess to party with my friends and do something together... but anyway as the reviewer said I can't stop looking at the environment and just goo "wooooooW" this game should be called "detail wars" lol it's just incredible... I can't even start comparing Divinity's Reach with Stormwind it's like SW it's just a far outpost xD
Trading post is starting to work now so hopefully we can all start making some money!

Lol the entire first half of that love letter reads just like: These are the reasons why this review will not be fair or objective because I'm so emotionally biased and attached to this game. I called it over half a year ago based on the comments on editors from this site: they will not score it below 9. I was going to be conservative and say 8.7, but the first two sections alone guarantee it'll be 9 or over as MMORPG staff decided months ago. Keep it accurate as a laser folks. You have SWTOR and TSW to use as reference points.
You want a journalist to be un-emotional about what they report, but as gamers we are always looking for the game that captures us, draws us in, and that we can enjoy. So, considering we're looking for a game we can enjoy playing, have FUN playing, why shouldn't he include his excitement? When you can find a game that captures your heart and imagination, despite its flaws, you've found something special and want to share that excitement with others. His points, however "love letter" like it may seem for the positive stuff, is just as important as the "well, this feature is broken, etc." criticism too.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Editor's note: The Butch and Jeanie Jensen family is widely known in Emery County. They own the Tavaputs Ranch and are also part-time residents of Green River owning a home and residing there when they are unable to get to their ranch. Their son Tate was recently the victim in a murder/suicide situation that occurred in Carbon County. They have issued the following statement to put rumors to rest. We at the newspaper wish their family peace during the time of healing from their great loss.
Jensen Family Statement
The Jensen Family again expresses our sympathy to the family of Tate's assailant and wishes for them to know that no ill will is held toward them.
We also express our concern for the well being of the young lady who was present when Tate was murdered. We are thankful that she too was not a victim.
This young lady lost her husband in an industrial accident a few years ago. She was and remains a good friend of Tate's sister, Jennie. She often visited the Tavaputs Ranch and just a couple of weeks ago, stood as one of the maids of honor during Jennie's wedding ceremony held at the Tavaputs Ranch.
On the evening in question, this young lady drove to Tate's home and together they sat on the couch in his living room, watching a movie on TV. During the course of the evening, the assailant was sending text messages to the young lady, with each succeeding text message becoming increasingly more agitated.
The young lady told Tate that she feared that the assailant was outside of Tate's home. Tate stood up and was walking toward a living room window with blinds partially closed when the assailant fired two shots from a .44 magnum pistol through the glass window and blinds. Tate died instantly.
The assailant then broke the remaining glass from the shattered window and entered the living room in pursuit of the young lady. Thankfully, she was able to escape from Tate's home, get into her vehicle and leave the scene. She is the one who called 911.
The Carbon County Sheriff's office found Tate, fully clothed, lying on his back on the living room floor. The Sheriff's office found the assailant lying on the ground in the front driveway of Tate's home. It was apparent that the assailant had shot himself with the .44 magnum pistol.
The Sheriff's office later discovered the holster for the .44 magnum pistol in the back seat of the young lady's vehicle, leading them to believe that sometime during the evening, the assailant was sitting in the back seat of her vehicle while parked at Tate's home. The Sheriff's office observed the assailant's vehicle parked on Wood Hill Road at the lane entrance to Tate's home. The assailant apparently walked from his vehicle to Tate's home, a distance of about 1,000 feet.
We understand that the young lady had recently broken off her relationship with the assailant and that the assailant was unhappy with the break up.
We are unaware that there was any type of relationship between the young lady and Tate, other than being good friends. We are not aware that Tate had ever met his assailant.
We are hopeful this statement will satisfy media inquiries and that all families and friends involved can move forward with the healing process. The Jensen Family will have no further comment about this tragedy.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Come on home, Aaron Rodgers.
All Rodgers did for the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in a 24-10 wild-card round win against the Minnesota Vikings was provide yet another reminder of that no matter how good your running back is, no matter what happened in previous games – even as recently as six days ago – when it comes to the NFL playoffs, a team is only as good as its quarterback.
Amid the focus Saturday on Minnesota quarterback Christian Ponder's injured triceps and elbow, and with the dismal passing performance by backup Joe Webb, Rodgers methodically and efficiently earned the first home playoff win of his career, and with it, a divisional round date next week against the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park.
BOX SCORE: Packers 24, Vikings 10
It will mark the first time Rodgers plays a meaningful NFL game in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he played in college at the University of California. Rodgers' hometown of Chico is less than 200 miles away. And then there is the ever present draft-day-snub story line that will follow Rodgers every time he plays the 49ers for the rest of his career.
Rodgers frequently downplays the quarterback-vs.-quarterback matchups, but with Webb playing opposite Rodgers on Saturday night at Lambeau Field, it hardly seemed fair. The Packers will face another quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, in his first postseason start next week. The other three remaining NFC teams are quarterbacked by two rookies (the Washington Redskins' Robert Griffin III and Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson) and a veteran without a playoff win (the Atlanta Falcons' Matt Ryan).
"I feel like we have the best quarterback in the league, let alone the NFC," Green Bay receiver James Jones said. "It always falls back on him, and we're only going to go as far as his right arm takes us. If we play good defense and make plays for him on offense on the outside, we'll be fine."
Ponder, who played the best game of his career six days ago in Minnesota's 37-34 win against Green Bay, wasn't ruled out of Saturday's game until 90 minutes before kickoff, and Webb learned he would be starting not much before that. Ponder threw about a dozen warm-up throws three hours before kickoff, but a deep bruise in his triceps (an injury sustained in the second quarter last weekend) was too limiting. Ponder had thrown little during the week, but until Saturday morning, he and team officials remained optimistic he would be able to play in Minnesota's first playoff game since the 2009 season.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier personally told Webb he would start before Webb returned to the field for a second set of early warm-ups.
The Packers realized the quarterback switch from the NBC broadcast of the AFC wild-card playoff game that was airing on televisions in the locker room. Green Bay players and coaches were aware Ponder had been listed as questionable but few expected him to actually sit out.
The switch didn't alter Green Bay's defensive game plan, defensive back Charles Woodson said. If anything, it allowed Green Bay to focus even more on running back Adrian Peterson, who had rushed for 409 yards in the Packers two previous games, including 199 last week in the regular-season finale.
"We understand that it's all about Adrian Peterson," Woodson said. "If you stop him, you have a good chance of beating that team. No Percy Harvin. We're not worried about a quarterback change."
Webb proved elusive as a scrambler (68 yards on seven carries) but appeared lost as a passer. Webb completed only 11 of 30 throws for 180 yards, threw one interception and lost a fumble on a sack by Clay Matthews. He threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Michael Jenkins with less than four minutes remaining.
Most of Minnesota's success with Webb came on the opening drive, a possession in which the Vikings called six consecutive running plays, including three using the read-option. The drive stalled when Webb's first passing attempt, on a third-down, fell incomplete, and the Vikings didn't consistently use the read-option again.
"It was successful. It was working," Webb said. "I wouldn't say it wasn't working. But that's Coach (Bill) Musgrave's decision. If he wanted to go another route, then I was all for it."
Webb's issues left little room for Peterson, who had 69 yards through three quarters, at which point the Vikings already trailed 24-3. He picked up his final 30 yards in the fourth quarter.
"They wanted to make a statement," Rodgers said of Green Bay's defense. "That statement might have been less rushing yards for Peterson. He still had almost 100, but it wasn't the same kind of impact that he's had in the last couple games."
PLAYOFF PICTURE: Full schedule and matchup breakdown
Saturday's win made for a confident Packers team that heads to San Francisco to play a team that looks significantly different than when the two teams played at Lambeau Field on Sept. 9. San Francisco won that game 30-22, in a game quarterbacked by Alex Smith (the player the 49ers drafted No. 1 in 2005 instead of Rodgers) and not Kaepernick, an athletic, big-armed second-year player Green Bay players said Saturday reminds them a bit of Webb.
"We're always trying to look ahead, and it was a great warm-up for what we're probably going to experience out there with Kaepernick, so thanks to the Vikings for giving our defense a good look," Packers receiver Greg Jennings said.
