For the past 2 years people were talking about this game shutting down yet 2 years after the talk and nothing. The game has been dying with 2 servers remaining yet for some reason it still is alive.
I still can't enjoy PvP since this game, not from WoW or GW2 or any game for that matter. There is no game currently that has the balance and polish on the PvP side of the game of Warhammer. People claim that GW2 reminds them of Warhammer (in a good way) yet for some reason that game suceeds while another game fails.
I know that population was a big issue while I was playing this game but I still have my memories of 4 years of the game. I can't say that about any other game. I still don't know why people quit in droves when the game was launched. It was the reason this game ultimately failed.
My question though is, why since this game there has not been as much innovation in a game (such as a guard mechanic or a dual target system that just rocked for healers and tanks)? Then the second question is, why in 4 years there still isn't a game that has better RvR than Warhammer.

No it wasn't. If that was the reason, the game would have stayed around 300k, which is about where it was at the 3 month point, after the big exodus at release. Simple fact is, there's fundamental flaws with this game that kept driving people away, all it has done is lose more and more players with rare exceptions at patch points, and a rare occasion of seemingly stable population. No doubt the complete lack of realm population balance in the beginning was a big part of that, which they just completely neglected when they switched their Scenario based game to a somewhat open PVP game.
The downfall of this game was that EA didn't react to lowering subscription rates.
A game that revolves around PvP and the whole endgame is PvP ain't much without the P's.
Huge comeback promotions and full f2p system (with faster xp/renown for subs) would have saved this game.
WAR is probably the best PvP MMORPG out there at the moment but it simpy sucks without players.
It has
A) A lot of classes
Huge amount of PvP
C) Incentive to play at max level (renown rank system)
D) Gear progression purely through PvP (players drop tokens/armor/weapons)
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
I have a strange relationship with this game. There's something about it I absolutely love yet I never managed to go beyond tier 3. I must have tried at least 10 times but I always end up getting turned off by the RvR grind.
If people hadn't stopped doing scenarios in lower tiers I would surely still be playing this.
When I look back on "greatest PvP moments in my life", I lways think about War Online.
I really loved this game to death. Funny thing is, I always enjoyed the war40k IP more than War Fantasy, yet this game was really great.
IF it went active again, I would insta-sub to it again. But I really doubt it. For some rason EA wants to do a F2P model for SWToR in hope to make it live. Why the f*ck have they never thought about it for War Online?
It really frustrates me. EA killed Dungeon Keeper for me, and now Warhammer Online. Yet they rush another typical crappy sports game out every year.
If they skipped that PoS Wrath of Cunts and made War Online f2p with some premium bonusses like faster leveling in ranks and levels, people would probably want to try it again.
But actually, I think EA wants to kill this game. I dont know why, but thats the only reason I can think of.

MMO's shelted: Check my mmorpg profile
KICKSTARTED: Camelot Unchained. (250 USD)
only EVE is real MMO...but I am impressive with TSW
It's an EA game. It's not meant for longevity,
I played Warhammer early on, and the PVP was spectacular. But the PVE was dumb, and mostly broken. This is what I expect from an EA game. Warhammer was so riddled with bugs it wasn't even funny. Even movement bugs, where you just try to move around and end up getting stuck on a 3 inch rock on the ground. Lame
Warhammer was just an early example of what SWTOR turned out to be .. a game released too early with lots of bugs. It's EA's trademark.
It's really no wonder that Warhammer never took off.
The same thing is happening with GW2 .. it's a fun game, but it's PVE stinks and is anti-social. PVP is important, but PVE keeps the world occupied. Without PVE a game (PVP or PVE) is doomed to failure.

Though I'm in tier 4, I find I have a similar relationship. I tend to come back every few months for 1-2 month spurts and then quit again. Something always pulls me back, though. To be honest, I think it's just how much I love the IP.
Class mirrors out of whack.
Crazy CC.
BW zerg trains.
Tanks dpsing like mad.
People running scens instead of RvR for faster gains.
People just trying to max out damage/healing in scens as opposed to caring about the team.
End game RvR which was just getting up ramps and PVE, PVE everywhere.
A dev team that didn't seem capable of balancing anything.
Gear making a massive difference and said gear tokens being lol tastic chance drops unless you wanted to dungeon it up (having to pve to be pvp viable, bleh).
During the first year of the game the PvP/RvR had it's issues lets face it. It may have improved massively since then but the problem is a large number of players left in that period and people don't often go back once burned, especially when they see a game with population issues.

The game failed because of bugs. More specifically the skill delay problem. Nothing in WAR was more frustrating then PvPing and having to push a button 4,5,6 times to actually get the skill to fire off.
Its a shame too because the Warrior Priest was without a doubt the most fitting class for my playstyle of any MMO ive ever played. DoK too but man that WP was made just for me. What a shame...miss my Squig Herder too
What I loved about this game was the world, unfortunately they ruined it all with instanced pvp. Warhammer has great lore and it felt like the world was consuming me everytime I logged in...such a deep, thrilling atmosphere. Lots of well designed areas to go to etc...

Awesome looking, but kinda spendy for me. I'd like to figure out a way to keep the garland in place that I drape up over the top of the kitchen cabinets. I just use tape, but I wish there were something nicer.

The Very Best From Alexander Winery
A testament to the success of the Alexander Winery and Yoram Shalom's vision can be found in the Alexander Amaraloo 2007. Made in the same manner as Italy's renowned Amarone wines, the Amaraloo utilize grapes dried on special mats for an extremely concentrated flavor. The grapes were crushed at their peak flavor intensity and the wine aged for 40 months in a combination of new and dry oak caskets.
The Amaraloo 2007 from Alexander Winery blends 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Shiraz, and 3% Grenache and is incredibly full-bodied, with a long drawn out finish and a concentrated nose of vanilla and dried dark fruit. It incorporates violet, plum, black pepper, butterscotch, and a host of other flavors for a completely unique taste that earns the Alexander Winery its place as one of Israel's premier boutique wineries.
Savor the Quality and Taste of Alexander Wines
In addition to the Amaraloo, Yoram Shalom has released a number of other popular Alexander wines that emphasize all that Israel has to offer. The 2009 Alexander Syrah features the classic flavors of the Galilee, with a nose of complex spices and ripe red berries and a body of blueberry, cherry, and a hint of toasty vanilla.
Also from Alexander Wines is the Alexander The Great Cabarnet Sauvignon 2007, an exclusive bottle that scored 90 points on Robert Parker's Wine Advocate as well as the International Wine Review. It has an earthy depth, mouthwatering tannins, a lush texture, and a long finish. It offers flavors of cassiss, black pepper, and blackberry and a nose of plum, mocha, and vanilla.

Detroit Mercy Law Students Learn through Experiential Education
Our education extends well beyond the classroom. Detroit Mercy Law students learn about the legal process and serve clients directly in our Law Clinics and at externships with nonprofit agencies and public offices. Students handle transactions from initiation through negotiation to closing as "associates" in our Law Firm Program; argue complex cases in moot court; and complete rigorous coursework that emphasizes analysis and writing. In short, Detroit Mercy Law grads are prepared to work, and add instant value to a future employer's organization.
Practice-Ready and Career-Ready Curriculum
Law Firm Program courses bridge the gap between legal theory and practice. Students handle simulated legal transactions as though they were in a law firm or corporate legal department. This experience translates instantly to employers as graduates are able to contribute immediately to a variety of legal tasks and transactions.
Clinic Experiences train students for legal work while providing valuable services to the community. Our Clinics give students hands-on legal experience and the opportunity to help those with the greatest need and least resources.
Externships provide students with real-world experience in the legal field. Students carry their own case loads, conduct research, draft briefs and memoranda, interact with attorneys and prosecutors, and learn hands-on about both the demands and rewards of the profession – all under the guidance of a seasoned attorney or judge.
Moot Court is designed to shape students into persuasive communicators and advocates. Every first-year student participates in a mandatory internal moot court competition with critiques by practicing attorneys and judges. Upper-level students compete for spots on national moot court competition teams.
Emphasis on Writing and Ethics is a vital part of the Detroit Mercy Law education and the Jesuit tradition of knowledge building and moral integrity. Rigorous writing and attention to legal ethics are stressed in every course. Our acclaimed Legal Writing Program has garnered a number of national awards.

Dear Blogs users ,
After what sony did regarding ICS update and how they fooled us by telling us some lies in order to buy their phones and they suddenly declare to us not to go to ICS because it will slow down our phones and it's not stable like GB !!!!
whom don't know what i'm talking about please read that blog 1st
i think it's our time (we are Sony fooled customers) to unveil the ugly real face of Sony to the world
let's share our experince with the whole world about what Sony did with us !!!
they really have thieved our money ....i have bought my Xperia Neo V after reading that Sony will upgrade their Xperia 2011 to ICS
now they are saying that sorry to my stupid customers....don't go to ICS it's not stable...and will slow down your phones
OTA update will not be available...that's mean they will publish a crime and not an update !!!
they don't want amateur customers to get that harmful update ...and they will tell who update ....Sorry you have updated your phone under your own risk we didn't announce our update OTA !!!!
Sony..you are funny
about my self i'll start to publish everywhere about my bad experince with that Sony
i'll restore my money when i tell the world to not buy Sony mobiles anymore ....
whom going to share with me ?
let's start here by sharing in famous mobile phone sites to tell their users not to buy Sony anymore and let's share our experince
let's go
Stop blaming for neo v and Sony,realise that programmers trying to.do the best to optimize our phones for ICS and if you still don't like your neo v try to understand that you paid too little for an android with 3.7" 512 ram and 1ghz CPU and see that fir the amount of money you paid for neo v you can't buy the same or better phone from Samsung,HTC,Motorola or any other company
i could buy Samsung S2 but i didn't because stupid Samsung didn't annouce that they are going to upgrade their S2 later
but your geniuses Sony Engineers did while thay can't ...
did you know why now ? :d;d;D;D
Oh well, misery loves a company.
If you dislike it this much, you need not open up an arguement. Just drop the product be selling it, put it in your junk bin... no need to spend this much of energy on this issue. If you do not purchase another Sony product, fine, it's Sony's lost, not yours. So why the misery?
will you pay me my money ?
so many funny persons here !!!
Strange posting :-D ??
As a professional user, i tested the phone extensively BEFORE buying it, as i need a phone that can do what i want it to do, and at the same day when i am buying it ? I would NEVER EVER consider buying a phone that MAYBE IN FUTURE, after a promised software upgrade, will fulfill my expectation ?
This very much reminds me of my son, at tge age of 13, who absolutely wants to own an iPhone 4S, mainly because of SIRI. Interesting enough, he is only using his current phone, an Xperia Play, to do games with it. My question to him, why he would prefer an iPhone to the Play and what he would actually do with SIRI, was '... no, i don't need it, but it's cool ....
This young gentleman here obviously bought his phone because he wanted to be first in his shool class running his phone on ICS, rather than owning and using an ANDROID phone ;-) .....
You can buy SG2 with 200€?...tell me where to buy it
eng_samy, that's my point. NOBODY will give our money back. We just make it worst for ourselves by stressing ourselves.
What to do? Charge it to our experience, and swear not to purchase any sony anymore until the end of time.
Right you are Christian...
It's applicable to anything we purchase. We purchase based on what we need now.
Let's just wait for the update..

Very Uncomfortable
"The shoes are gorgeous. I bought them online in red and when they arrived and I tried them on, I realized I couldn't walk with them. The back heel is too high and stiff and it hurt my feet. t is a shame because I was really excited about these shoes"

Too cute for words!
"I had been eying this pair of wedges for months now on several websites and when I saw that DSW carried them at the most reasonable price for my size, I HAD to buy them! I bought them in red and they are totally cute! The back heel of the left shoe had some odd black mark on it, but I was able to clean it off, so no worries there! The straps were a bit difficult to adjust, but the main kicker is that these shoes do run long! I went with a 7.5 and I think I could have even gotten a 7. If you like your toes to hit the edge of the sandal, then I would suggest sizing 1/2 a size down, but if you're comfortable with a bit of spare room (like me), get your normal size."

Project HealthDesign Provides Input on Health IT Policies
Jan 10, 2012, 8:37 AM, Posted by Patricia Flatley Brennan
Since health reform passed almost two years ago, we've seen the health care system begin to change quite a bit. The push for better uses of health IT has brought about many proposed rules and programs, and federal agencies have requested public input on many of these proposals.
Because Project HealthDesign has always included multi-disciplinary teams of researchers, clinicians, and patients who are helping to lay the foundation for a patient-centered health IT system, we've seized these opportunities to share our unique insights by commenting on several proposed policies. In the process, we've been able to share our thoughts about promising practices for collecting patient-generated data and incorporating it into the clinical care process.
In 2011, Project HealthDesign provided feedback on seven proposed policies. These ranged from applauding the HHS Proposed Rule on Patient Access to Lab Reports, which would allow patients to become more engaged with their health data, to calling for better distinctions between mobile apps and mobile medical apps under the FDA Mobile Medical Application Guidance. Working together to help refine these types of policy proposals is even more critical now as we enter a new era of widespread adoption and use of health IT.
Read Project HealthDesign's policy comments, watch "How Clinicians Can Help Guide Federal Conversations About Health IT," or visit the Project HealthDesign website to learn more.
You can also check out Dr. Roger Luckmann's post on KevinMD.com about how Project HealthDesign is helping people with chronic diseases manage pain.

Government Infrastructure and Political Enthusiasm
Most politicians are optimistic about the government's ability to intervene and solve problems. That's one reason why they run for office. Neocons, for example, have excessive faith that foreign intervention can fix the world, while liberals embrace the misguided idea that subsidies and regulations can boost the economy.
Subsidies Make Businesses Weaker
The technical arguments against the Export-Import Bank are provided in this excellent summary by Veronique de Rugy. However, one argument against Ex-Im and other business subsidies is not stressed enough in policy debates: subsidies weaken the businesses that receive them.
Cut Federal Highway Spending
Congress faces gridlock on many issues until after the November elections, but a transportation bill is still high on the agenda, because the federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF) will soon run out of money after years of elevated spending. Congress will probably put a bandage on the HTF to get it through this year, but eventually it will have to choose between tax increases and spending cuts.
Subsidies for the Seacoast
A June 24 article in the Washington Post looked at sea level rise in North Carolina. Unfortunately, the article followed a common template of portraying a battle of science vs. conservative politics and environmentalism vs. capitalism. But as I noted here about water and drought in the West, liberals and libertarians can agree on the benefits of cutting anti-environmental subsidies.
Independence in 1776; Dependence in 2014
Since the 1960s, the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) has provided a list of all federal subsidy programs. That includes subsidies to individuals, businesses, nonprofit groups, and state and local governments. The CFDA includes subsidies for farmers, retirees, school lunches, rural utilities, the energy industry, rental housing, public broadcasting, job training, foreign aid, urban transit, and much more.
Federal Highway Spending
The federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is running out of money. Congress will likely pass a short-term fix for the program in coming weeks. Over the longer term, many policymakers favor raising taxes to close the $14 billion annual gap between HTF spending and revenues.
Cato Spending Charts
How much does Congress spend on Veterans Affairs, the IRS, or Customs and Border Protection? How much has spending increased over time?
You can answer those questions quickly and easily with Cato's updated charting tool for the federal budget.
The tool allows you to plot real outlays for about 500 departments, agencies, and programs, 1970-2014. All data is from the Office of Management and Budget.
California, Drought, and Water Policy
In today's Wall Street Journal, Stanford economics professor Edward Lazear provides an economist's view of the California drought situation:
Small Is Beautiful
Thank you for reading the Cato blog and doing what you do to help spread freedom. Now you have the chance to advocate liberty every day while you are going to work or running errands.
IRS IT: $2.4 Billion But Not World-Class
Perhaps the most suspicious thing about the disappearance of Lois Lerner's emails is that the IRS is not a small business operation that cannot afford high-quality computer, email, and backup systems. It is a huge modern bureaucracy that has computer technology at the core of its operations. The IRS IT budget in 2014 is a massive $2.4 billion (page 149 here).

(ROSSLYN, Va.)—The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) today expressed its support for a new multi-agency effort to increase cooperation among federal agencies and accelerate federal approvals as they consider proposed electrical transmission projects that impact federal lands.
On a conference call this morning, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, and Department of Energy Senior Advisor Lauren Azar announced the creation of a Rapid Response Team for Transmission (RRTT) and an initial set of seven transmission projects that will benefit from increased federal coordination.
"NEMA has been pressing the federal government to give greater urgency to transmission projects that will modernize the grid, diversify our energy portfolio, and create manufacturing jobs," said NEMA President and CEO Evan R. Gaddis. "Today's announcement is an excellent first step, and NEMA will continue to advocate for a streamlined and expedited federal review process for all transmission lines, whether or not they cross federal lands."
It is commonplace for an essential transmission project to take more than a decade to be built as it goes through federal requirements pertaining to planning, cost allocation, environmental impact, and siting. More obstacles remain at the state and local levels even after the federal government signs off. As a result of the numerous regulations, approvals, and jurisdictions involved, a large number of projects never even get built. NEMA highlights this lengthy and costly process in its Siting Transmission Corridors—A Real Life Game of Chutes and Ladders, which may be downloaded at www.nema.org/TransmissionCorridorsGameboard.
RRTT will identify from among nine federal agencies that signed an October 2009 Memorandum of Understanding on transmission coordination those that are affected by a given project, establish a lead agency to direct coordination, outline a timeline for federal actions, provide dedicated staff in each agency for each project, and keep the public apprised of progress through a new website on a project-by-project basis.
"Transmission is the key that will unlock economic growth, energy security, and American competitiveness. This initiative is part of the solution," said Gaddis.
NEMA is the association of electrical equipment manufacturers, founded in 1926 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Its member companies manufacture a diverse set of products including power transmission and distribution equipment, lighting systems, factory automation and control systems, and medical diagnostic imaging systems. Worldwide annual sales of NEMA-scope products exceed $120 billion.

Skip to comments.New York the latest state to sign compact to end electoral college
Posted on 04/18/2014 6:32:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Governor Cuomo has signed off on the National Popular Vote Compact, giving New York's 29 electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
Count New York in.
The Empire State has joined the National Popular Vote compact with legislation signed Tuesday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
States that have signed on to the interstate agreement will award electoral votes for president to the candidate who receives the majority of the national popular vote.
"With the passage of this legislation, New York is taking a bold step to fundamentally increase the strength and fairness of our nation's presidential elections," said Cuomo. "By aligning the Electoral College with the voice of the nation's voters, we are ensuring the equality of the votes and encouraging candidates to appeal to voters in all states, instead of disproportionately focusing on early contests and swing states."
Under the winner-take-all system, candidates for president have taken to ignoring states that are reliably Republican or Democratic, like New York, while focusing their attention and resources on a smaller group of battleground or swing states.
While New York has more than 13 million voters, ranking fourth in the nation, it is last when it comes to presidential spending.
New York joins the District of Columbia and nine states in signing on to the compact -- including California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
The legislation utilizes New York state's right under the U.S. Constitution to award its 29 electoral votes in any manner it deems appropriate, in this case to the winner of the national popular vote.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
I am beginning to understand why these liberal states want to cede their electoral sovereignty to the popular vote....
Republicans have LOST 5 of the 6 elections via the popular vote.
Bush lost in 2000 but won in 2004. But that was it.
I would think this is unconstitutional, but that depends on which flavor judge hears the case.
What will he say when his state votes for the popular vote loser?
New York's vote didn't count? We gotta go with Texas?
The Rats are in unknown territory with this one.
The Constitution leaves it entirely up to each state legislature how to select its electors.
OTOH, "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress ... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State"
Who needs to vote, anyway? Comrades? The central committee knows what is best. Freedom is slavery, slavery is freedom.
no taxation without representation
Actually, kind of funny! When a Republican wins the popular vote, Cuomo will rescind the law.
RE: I would think this is unconstitutional, but that depends on which flavor judge hears the case.
Well, somebody has to file suit. Who has the standing to do it?
If the democrats are for it...it must be bad.
Bad, bad, bad idea. Are we to trust Cuomo over Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, et al?
The Republic is almost totally dismantled. Only Article V. can begin to save it.
As the article points out, New York isn't ceding its electoral power of Presidential elections, it's retaking it.
National Popular Vote isn't a Republican or Democratic movement, it's a movement of heavily partisan states against "swing states." The current system disempowers Mississippi and Utah as much as it disempowers California and New York.
You better believe when the day comes that the Republican nominee receives the plurality of popular votes, the New York and other Democrat legislatures will meet in emergency session shortly after Election Day and change the law to their favor.
Fortunately, these are all in long-conquered territory, so it'll be a wash. When "red" states start going this way is when it's time to be concerned.
An escape clause was written right into the bill they pushed here in Michigan. They could withdraw from the agreement for any reason (If it looked like a GOP win) 6 months before an election.
Sadly there are republicans who pimp this crap like Fred Thompson.
Mob rule, just what the founders wanted to avoid. Benjamin Franklin said we would have "A Republic if you can keep it."
What would he say if he knew we would only keep it for a little over 200 years?
Algore is still eligible...
Once the Census-derived electoral college apportionment is replaced by popular vote counts, the states will gin up their numbers by reducing the voting age to 12 and granting the franchise to non-citizens. Election night will be an auction-like frenzy as state election boards discover hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots yet to be counted.
Unfortunately (or not) it is constitutional...................
If this becomes reality, the answer is divorce.
There is no reason for a state to remain in America without proper representation.
Yes, of course.
And, once again, our Founding Fathers prove how intelligent and wise they were.
They knew that city populations tend to attract the newly arrived and those who seek collectivist "protection" (liberals by the modern definition) and that those in the rural areas tend to be far more independent and self-reliant (conservative by the modern definition).
He also knew that the population densities in cities could easily outnumber the population of the rural areas.
They didn't want a single big city in a state to dictate to the entire state.
So they installed two key rules: proportional representation and the electoral college.
The electoral college was designed to protect the minority from a purely pluralistic majority.
Of course, the left hates the idea of protecting conservatives, thus they are trying desperately to strike down the electoral college so that the country is essentially run by the major cities.
This will blow up in their faces like a balloon full of shaving cream.........................
CT (7 EV) and MN (10) are likely the next to join, giving them a total of 182 (of 270)...
PA (20), AZ (11), and MI (16) would hurt (and hit 229 total)...
but OK (7) and NE (5) would finish off the Electoral College for good, even with just 12 EV's and a total of 241 of 270, because once right-leaning states join, it's over.
(And FL conveniently gives them their last 29 to hit 270 exactly, assuming every state listed above joins the Compact)
"Unfortunately (or not) it is constitutional..................."
Well, it practically means the end of Republican presidents. (I almost wrote conservative presidents.) It won't even take very many states.
Why not just allow the vote in FL Ca and Ny! Those are the three States that would elect a popular vote candidate anyway.
It's already time to start worrying.
The blue states enacting this into law will make the red states far more vulnerable far more quickly.
You see, once these laws are passed, the leftists don't need to worry about those states in the national elections any longer. They will be wrapped up and however the major cities go, that's how the state goes. And that is hardcore leftist.
The leftists will then have that much more time and MONEY to concentrate on the purple and red states.
As David Horowitz says, the left is engaged in the art of political war. The rest of the country is watching TV and figuring out how to be kinder, gentler, more social.
Liberals that are for this that I have talked to think our country is a democracy and don't understand a republic.
If we went to Nat'l popular vote, candidates wouldn't have to bother making promises to voters in States that have a majority opposition, just hit the cities where most voters are friendly.
oh yeah, it benefits New York to have it gone which is why the thing was implemented
Actually, I believe that the numerous independent recounts in FLA showed that Bush would have won the NPV.
Remember Ronald Reagan.
He won every state except Minnesota in 1984........................
This is how red states should respond.
They will be counting votes by county with each county receiving one point. The candidate that wins the most counties wins the electoral vote of that state.
It keeps the constitution in place and also removes voter fraud and disenfranchisement, since a county only gets one point, the popular vote in that county can be 150% and no one is disenfranchised.
Call it a fire wall to prevent voter fraud disenfranchising an entire state. The rats cannot argue it because it takes away their talking points.
I wonder if any of these laws have any 'escape clause' that allows the governor to exit out of the compact if it looks like the other party will win the PV.................
This basic problem exists in the current system. Ohio (& Florida) elect our presidents. Candidates ignore Texas, California & New York (except for fundraising) because their electoral votes are a foregone conclusion.
Voting age of 12 with steak and potatoes in their lunch.
That's true, but I read several report of voter fraud in those States also.
"I wonder if any of these laws have any escape clause that allows the governor to exit out of the compact if it looks like the other party will win the PV................."
Funny, I had the same thought. They certainly wouldn't want to add their votes to the other party and give them a win if they don't have to. But it occurs to me if they do (a good possibility) then that is the legal attack vector.
Do you really want to trust this process to the Oprah/We Elected Obama TWICE populace?
Let alone to the spineless legislators without a shred of integrity?
And Hillery's FBI file collection
And the DNC/MSM data mining of IRS tax returns, census data, capriciously unsealed civil court records, etc?
Of course. Deep blue state never had to do vote cheating like liberal parts of swing states now do. With this scheme, the deeply embedded liberal power structure will mine every cemetery and mortuary for votes. Bad idea.
If they thought the "hanging chad" fraud left the 2000 election in limbo, just imagine Florida x 50: "Presidential Candidate X has garnered 10 million votes, Presidential Candidate Y has 10 million 100. Film at 11."
bullpucky. It empowers Miami, L.A., NYC, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Philly, and other liberal or undocumented enclaves to decide who will be the next Dear Leader(s).
We need one state to enact a law requiring their electors to vote opposite any popular vote cabal of states.
maybe we won't need to even vote at all if the colors on that map line up right. Just do a census and elect the victors.
OK, lets use recent history to see how this will work. How much more important would the vote counts be on the Democrat West Coast if there was a similar close election to 2000? How long would it take to get a mutually acceptable count completed for these States to make their decision? The understated benefit of the Electoral College (EC) is a timely decision on date certain.
Al Gore's bitter partisan's constant bemoaning of the US Supreme Court decisions on Florida's election process lose sight of the fact that time was running out for a decision for the participant selection from Florida. As it stood, Bush43 had a bare-bones transition between the December decision and the January Inauguration.
So visualize a similar election with a squeaking close popular vote and all of the different voting methods and disputable 'hanging chads' all over the country. Now remember such localities like King County Washington where sufficient post-election day 2004 ballots were 'found' to elect the Democrat candidate for Governor. Multiply this by all of the possible paths to election and then think HOW LONG it would take to find a candidate for these 'Popular Vote' states to swing their EC votes to.
Sorry, this is a lawyer's dream and a nation's nightmare!
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
I also know this is mainly an attempt to slant elections in favor of liberal urban areas vs. smaller, more rural states-- doesn't this also strike at the federal structure that has always been at the core of the Electoral College?
Thanks for the map.
I want to reform the electoral college system too.
I want every county in the country to have one electoral vote. Conservatives would win every time.
The problem with one vote per county is it would be hugely disproportional across the country.
1state, 1 vote. That would work.
Be nice and clean,
Shave every day and you'll always look keen.

Porcupine Rim fire information
Fire statistics:
⢠Fire is located one mile southwest of Round Mountain in Castle Valley.
⢠Detected on June 30.
⢠Fire cause is lightning.
⢠Current fire size is 3.5 acres.
⢠Burning in grass, brush, pinyon and juniper trees.
Castle Valley, Utah... After a few days of inactivity, the wildfire became active and produced most of its growth on July 3. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) crews hiked up to the wildfire and began working with a helicopter to do bucket work.
It was determined that due to steep and rugged terrain, combined with the loose rock and unstable ground, that it was not safe for the crews to construct line around the fire using direct attack tactics.
The BLM has put the fire in monitor status and will continue to staff the fire and monitor its progress daily. Smoke may be visible to residents of Castle Valley.
If the fire status changes or begins to pose a greater threat, the BLM will reassess the fire activity and change suppression tactics as needed. For more info call Heather O'Hanlon @ 435-259-2184.

The following is a screenshot of ProteinVis, a tree viewer for hierarchical clusterings of proteins in the human Genome. I did this project a while back with a colleague, Xiaojun Guan, and a professor of biology at UNC Chapel Hill, Dr William Kaufman. Clicking on a node in the tree builds a set (actually, these are lazily computed from sets that are declared to be part of the tree at load time) of proteins that share Gene Ontology terms.
The basic idea is to look at the Gene Ontology terms that have been assigned to individual proteins in context of other similar proteins to see if the Gene Ontolog terms make sense in context. This was one of my first visualizations in OpenGL using Haskell, and so the code isn't what I'd call pretty. In any case, I'm releasing the source code here under Renci's open source license, which is included in the source distribution. I don't really expect it to be of much interest, though, except to see what I did to get the visualization up and running. These days I'm writing much better code.

How Nitro-Tech Works
Delivers Ultraclean Whey Isolate and Peptides
Supplying 30 full grams of the most quickly absorbable and highest biological value proteins available. These are two of the cleanest sources of protein available to athletes.
Contains a Clinically Proven Dose of Pure Creatine Monohydrate
Each scoop supplies a full 3-gram dose of the most researched form of creatine available – creatine monohydrate. Creatine in combination with whey protein has been clinically shown in a published study to be more effective for building muscle than whey protein on its own.
Provides All Essential Amino Acids
The protein in Nitro-Tech® provides a complete amino acid profile, which means that every serving of Nitro-Tech® provides you with all the essential amino acids, including the 6.9 grams of BCAAs critical for building muscle. Plus you get the conditionally essential and dispensable amino acids, including 5.3 grams of glutamine and it's precursor.
Build More Strength than with Regular Whey Protein
Nitro-Tech® contains a research-proven 3-gram dose of creatine monohydrate, which combined with whey protein, helps to build more strength than regular whey protein. In a breakthrough study, subjects using the core ingredient combination in Nitro-Tech® increased their one-rep max bench press by 34 lbs., compared to only 14 lbs. for subjects using regular whey protein.
Ultraclean Formula
Take a look at other protein powders and you might be shocked by what you find! Some of these proteins are loaded with fat and some have over 10 grams of carbs per scoop! Nitro-Tech® doesn't fill your shaker cup with carbs – there are other supplements designed to do that. Instead, each scoop of Nitro-Tech® contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate and whey peptides, with only 4 grams of carbs, depending on the flavor and no more than 2.5 grams of fat!
Best-In-Class Taste
Enjoying a clean formula doesn't mean you have to deal with excess carbs and fat. For some companies, the taste of their protein is the only thing they have going for them, so they load up their protein formulas with cheap proteins that are easy to flavor, and then chase that with a load of flavoring in the form of sugar, carbs and fat. At MuscleTech we believe that you shouldn't have to sacrifice macronutrients for results. That's why our research team works closely with some of the top protein-flavoring professionals in the world, and each flavor of Nitro-Tech® is tested in internal taste tests. The result is a great-tasting formula that doesn't pack the extra sugar and carbs you'll see in other protein powders. This gives you more protein per scoop and a better overall macronutrient profile.
Tested for Quality and Purity
To ensure a high standard of quality and purity, the whey protein in Nitro-Tech® has been filtered using multi-phase filtration technology. Each batch of Nitro-Tech® undergoes strict quality control and is third-party lab tested and verified to ensure that each bottle has the highest purity, quality and consistency.

Alright – I'm biased because this review matches my thoughts – however it is a well thought out review.
Starts with " I have seen the future of books, and it is the Kindle. Or maybe Kindle rev. 2 will be anyway." , and ends with " Keep in mind here, that I'm notably particular about gadget design, and that even with these first-generation flaws, I think the device is a winner. I'm definitely looking forward to the next revision. In summary, if you're a casual or infrequent reader, I'm not sure this is a device or service for you. But for the avid reader, particularly you mobile ones, don't wait. Get one now."
My thoughts exactly – if you're an avid reader then you'll love the Kindle – Get an Amazon Kindle Now.
The full review is available at http://alvelda.blogspot.com/2008/01/kindle-review.html, which has a very nice Douglas Adams inspired subtitle 😉
BTW, I really think there should be some sort of round-up of most requested features and ideas for V2 of the Kindle. And then we should get that over to Amazon – I'm sure if they know that a bunch of Kindle forums and Blogs have gotten together to gather this information from actual Kindle afficiandos they'll give it more weightage.

This Sutter or the other?
Jean Lefebvre
June 17 2009 08:51AM
So Alain Vigneault is leaning back with a snifter of Remy Martin after his meal at the annual Northwest Division Coaches' Dinner and he lights up a Diamond Crown. After blowing a few smoke rings, he looks around and casually asks: "Solitaire, anyone?"
Of course, that lonely feeling for the Canucks skipper simply couldn't be helped. The invitations to Craig MacTavish, Mike Keenan, Jacques Lemaire and Tony Granato were all returned "Addressee Unknown" and it was just too late to ask Pat Quinn, Todd Richards and Joe Sacco to the party.
It hasn't escaped anyone's attention that the Flames are the only Northwest club that has yet to fill its empty suit, and please feel free to speculate amongst yourselves on the reasons for delay. Here's a few conversation-starter suggestions:
- Darryl Sutter didn't want to steal the thunder from the NHL by making his announcement in the middle of the Stanley Cup final.
- Darryl Sutter likes to do things in his own good time no matter what anybody, especially a media parasite, has to say about it.
- Darryl Sutter is having a tough time convincing his ideal candidate to take the job. This one might apply even if he's settled on himself as the best man for the job.
- The man Sutter had in mind was otherwise engaged until the approximate moment this past Friday night when Sidney Crosby forgot to shake Nicklas Lidstrom's hand.
- All parties are allowing for a reasonable and respectful amount of time to pass before Brent Sutter, who was too busy to coach the New Jersey Devils, decides he isn't too busy to coach the Calgary Flames.
- The recent availability of Dave Tippett has added a level of complication to the not-so-exhaustive coach search.
There are no wrong answers here at the FlamesNation, but the most correct responses we can come up with to the above possibilities are A) maybe, but not likely, B) that of course is always a consideration when the Ol' Cowboy is calling the shots, C) doubtful, although it's fun to imagine that Darryl Sutter might be one of the few men who could say no to Darryl Sutter, D) doubtful — regardless of how good a head coaching candidate Paul MacLean is or isn't, the Walrus and the 2009-10 Flames are not a very good fit, E) you could be on to something here and F) Tippett is not a very good bet to take the Flames job but it would be shocking if Sutter didn't at least think about looking up the former Dallas skipper's number.
All those considerations aside, Darryl Sutter remains the prohibitive favourite to double the number of titles on his business card. The timing and tone of Brent Sutter's exit from Newark, however, does give one pause. In leaving the NHL coaching fraternity, Brent left just enough bread crumbs to find his way back. The fortunate proximity of Sylvan Lake to Calgary will allow Sutter to insist he was sincere about wanting to be closer to home should he accept the Flames gig.
If you need one strong argument against Brent being tabbed as Mike Keenan's replacement, maybe it's that Brent fancies himself as a self-made man — and not without justification — and that he's not ready to put himself under Darryl's thumb.
So write this down (in pencil, please) — Darryl Sutter will announce he's taking over the coaching reins on June 29.
If you need one strong argument against Brent being tabbed as Mike Keenan's replacement, maybe it's that Brent fancies himself as a self-made man — and not without justification — and that he's not ready to put himself under Darryl's thumb.
I think I'd prefer Tippett over Darryl if Brent isn't/won't be coaching the Flames. Is there any particular reason you see Tippett's hiring as unlikely Jean?
@ Kent: I can think of several reasons, but the biggest is that I believe Darryl Sutter had already made up his mind about who came next before Tippett became available.
The second reason is that I think any coach with multiple options (and I think Tippett is part of that group) will steer clear of Calgary given the scenario of having the other Sutter an hour north and a year away from being free and clear.
Much as I might like to see Tippett, it might be difficult for him to take the Flames' job if he thought his likely replacement (the GM's brother, no less) was just marking time 90 minutes up the highway. Would he be comfortable working in that situation? How would he know if he was getting a fair shake?
Matt and I went back and forth a bit at his place on the "under the thumb" stuff. I'm not so sure that Darryl wouldn't give up some control to his brother if that's what it took to get him in the fold, but I certainly acknowledge your point, Jean.
I'd suspect with all that said that your prediction is probably the safest one. Darryl runs things for a year, and then hires someone else(Brent)next spring, if he doesn't get fired himself.
@ Lefebvre:
I should learn to type faster, I see;)

LOL this all seems so cut and dry. This is what I was thinking too.
@ Lefebvre:
Very sensible, especially the notion that other coaches might be scared off by Brent being available and just up the road. It's essentially Sutter (or Sutter) or bust, then.
Does anyone envision a scenario where Brent actually takes over half way through the season?
Kent wrote:

Pretty tough one to envision, as much as Kinger has uber love for Sutter D, at some point the wagons gotta hit the track. A mid season change would seem to indicate a less than stellar performance by the team at large.... so if its sutter D stepping back upstairs a major credibility hit is gonna take place or a well tailored admission of failure..... I just cant see it.
If its Brent replacing someone else we are bordering on a tragic comedy of Ottawa proportions with 3 guys under contract for the same job within a half year span. Might as well have kept keenan for continuities sake and dumped him half way for sutter D or sutter B.
Go flames go.
At what point does this proud franchise become more about nepotism than results?
June 20 2009, 12:09PM
[...] to TSN sources, which tend to be fairly accurate about stuff like this. While Jean made a good argument as to why Darryl would back behind the bench a little while ago, this move doesn't surprise [...]
