Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
The starter areas or anything that isn't a L75 area (for now, soon to be L85) are going to be pretty vacant no matter what server you are on. The whole push is to move folks to L75 and get them out of the starter areas asap.
We have inspired-greatness, uber store pots, armour and buffs all designed to get you out of the Lone Lands and into Stangard asap.
The overall server populations will fluctuate depending on:
1. finance of the player base
2. work/school or other obligations
3. new content or games elsewhere
4. contentment with the state of LOTRO
and a lot of other reasons can cause server populations rise and fall.
It maybe be that SWTOR has low populations on servers but they have a lot more servers then LOTRO. Players come and go. Raiders run to max level (75 lotro / 50 swtor) and leave. They only log in to run the 1 or 2 raids they can do per week and logout until their locks reset. So, many raiders have multiple games and Monday night it might be LOTRO but If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Belgium er... <any other game>.
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

[sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
Posts like this crack me up. Not only does he not get the reference (though it's quite old now, it's certainly a classic!), it's also obvious he didn't read much of the thread - but he still felt necessary to add his "contribution" hehe.
Back on topic - Landroval seems to be doing pretty well. I'd say it's been stable for the last few years. My friends list is full, and even the ones at the bottom of the list (sorted by when they last played) have all played fairly recently.
I started a new captain and a new warden recently, and ran into plenty of people in all areas. The Treasure Hunt mini-festival was way too crowded if anything (even instanced).
But if you're feeling lonely, your best bet (as always) is to join an active kinship. It doesn't take thousands of players to make an MMO feel alive - just a few dozen can do so.Mosby, Founder of The Palantíri kinship (Landroval) - LotRO Charts Tumblr

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
That's odd, I could have sworn I saw Sapience post just this past January "but the fact is that we get thousands of new players in LOTRO every single day" , wouldn't all those new players be in Breeland and other starter areas like that?

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
They are ... but not on Riddermark
Not sure why Turbine doesn't believe that people starting on servers with only five people in the area are very likely to quit the game rather than switching servers.
If you don't want to shut down or merge the inactive servers because that would scare your shareholders then allow people to switch their servers for free *ONCE*

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
Riddermark were crowed at bree and that areas because the server was "new" and that's the keyword there. We didn't have top levels, i remember doing lvl 50 raids and we were the top guys.
Now there's a lot of lvls 75, wich keeps bree and that areas non played so much as they were at the beggining.
Also F2P were launched and a lot of people tried the game in ridder, maybe they liked, maybe they don't, but they were here, now there's not that much of that.
A lot of reasons that made imposible to track the numbers of players Riddermark has.
Now, as i've seen in the lately days, "the old players that were here" are leaving lotro, but i'm leading raids where i always pug 7-8 new lvls 75 players with shiny items. That keeps the server alive. There's still people coming here.
The fact that the OP feels that way it's i assume that his/her friends left the game, but there's still a lot of us playing, growing up.

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
This is a very complicated thing to judge without population tracking tools that only Turbine can use. I do believe there has been some loss in player base but it is incredibly hard to tell if there has been and by how much because there is so many places for players to go in the game world now.
With the down turn in the economy, many people have been losing access to the internet. Also there have been many new MMORPGs coming out lately and of course people would want to try them out.
Turbine mean while has been focusing on adding new content to the end game for long time players. This is not a bad thing, in fact it is nessecary to grow the limits of the game. The problem with this however is that they are neglecting new players who of course will not be able to use this content for a long time.
If I was asked, which I have not been......I would recommend a multi part process to try and attract new players, from most important to least.
1. Fix the launcher, it not only looks unprofessional but it has many bugs that prevent it from working on some computer systems.
2. Improve support. Turbine is notorious for its poor customer support that I am sure has cost it many players over the years.
3. Update the maps. The maps not only look like they were drawn by 5 year olds but they often have mistakes, roads in wrong places, showing passage where no passage exists, showing no passage where passage exists.
4. Upgrade and lower level requirements for skirmishes and dungeons. Add new skirmishes and dungeons and drop them to level 10 accessability. Add new types for skirmishes like escort or assault (attack escort). Fix pathing bugs for soldiers and balance them better. Add some interesting things like breakable doors and traps to dungeons. Make dungeon options more like skirmishes with solo playability and level varability for all dungeons. One of the crown jewels of Lotro, that Wow and probably many other MMORPGs do not have, is its skirmishes and the level varability of its dungeons. Ignoring these and starting them at level 20 is like Mcdonold's not advertising thier fries and requireing you to spend $20 in other products before you can buy them! You want to put your best foot forward.
5. Improve personalization. A player's ability to personalize thier character and enviorment is very important as can be seen in many of the face book games. Put your peronal stamp on things as it were. Lotro dose a very good job at that already with the cosmetic clothes, dyeing, house, titles, traits, legacies, etc. However a little more would not hurt. Two dye colors for clothing for instance and housing sure could use an update.
6. Add new low level areas. It would be nice to see a few new low level areas. Maybe a new area for a couple new races and a new 10-20 area so one can do something other then bree-land.......yet again.......
7. Add a couple new races and classes. I know it is hard to add new races when one is resticted by lore but the game could really use a few. Maybe split the man and elf races (High/Wood) for instance or add young Earth-kin or Half-orcs. Also it is hard to add new classes when your old ones are still......unbalanced....but a couple new ones would not hurt.
8. Balance classes. I know the hardest thing to do in an MMORPG is getting classes balanced but I have the feeling that Turbine is not even trying...... They really need to spend some effort in this.
Well these are my recommendations. If Lotro did things like this then they could adverties the new changes and try to bring in new players and recapture old ones that left for some reason. But if all they plan to do is add new content on to the end game then the future of Lotro is pretty bleak.16 characters

Germans? Pearl harbour? what?
Can't tell if trolling or not.
There are a fair number of games that will hammer the player base. Sure, every time a game comes out we say that, but with a string of good titles ready on deck we're going to see an impact.
Hell, U6 did a good enough job trimming people and that was their own product.

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
Have you read the replies? Nymph was quoting a rather popular comedy movie.
On the population, most servers now have low pops in starter areas as noted above. Generally populations fluctuate around extra content, been on Elindilmir since the start and still very healthy in all the lvl 60+ areas.The Balrog lives!! Oh, and give MECCG a try.

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
Yep, and it's only going to get worse. The more the developers find creative ways to keep punishing players for their loyalty i.e incessant grinds, lack of creativity (ever notice that it's always the same kind of quests - of course you have! level 75 and the only thing that different is that I'm not picking up orc poop this time), and a general emphasis on making in game rewards frustratingly difficult to get without a little help from the LOTRO store, the more people will bail. Half my kin will be gone when GW2 hits. oh, and did I mention....LAG????????????? But don't worry everyone, because everything is working as intended!

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
The population will likely only decline from here, how much will it decline? I don't know.
On another note, Animal House sucked.
Morvathir 65 Guardian (Rank 7), Morcallor 65 Craptain (Rank 0.5), other toons unworthy of mention. Slavetothebum R4 Reaver, Bummagic R2, other toons unworthy of mention cause they have not done the rite of initiation.

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
To be honest, i have played on Brandywine, Landroval and Laurelin and Bree almost always has | a lot of | players around
Not all servers have the same high population
But Turbine expects a new massive wave of new and old players in LotRO, with the 'Hobbit' movie and 'Riders of Riddermark' expansion later this fall. So the overall pop of the game will only grow. And if they advertise more, then that will only add up for sureLast edited by ''Cris'''; Apr 09 2012 at 10:21 PM.

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK)
Hello Everyone
When I started just over a year ago, it was because of a Yahoo fluff piece on the best free online games, and LOTRO was one of them. Perhaps I wasn't the only one that read it.
In my beginning, Combe was a happening town, full of lower toons and you just kept hearing the sounds of toons leveling all the time. I was surprised when I went back one time and there were only two or three there. But I figured it was because when I started the server was rather new and new folks were being steered towards it. Now, those people have leveled up and while some of the toons in Archet are new people, I've found that many are alts of other, established accounts.
On the matter of the off-topic postings, Blues Brothers is also ranked in my top five, along with A Fish Called Wanda.
Have a great day everyone...

Re: LOTRO is in danger!!! save LOTRO TODAY (RIDDERMARK) conclution
Hey guys thanks for addressing my concern (and adding a bunch of junk on comedies and who bombed Pearl Harbor)
So for the most part I am happy with what I have heard; I kinda hope that when the population goes up for whatever reason (like new Hobbit movie coming out) that the population will go up and STAY UP! the last movie of LOTR came out in 2003 and LOTRO didn't come out until 2007 (I think...... ) so I hope that while the movie come people will renew a hunger for LOTR lore. I think one of the main reasons WOW has a bunch more players than us is that it had a social scope while (in Riddermark anyway) its kinda a surprise to see someone wandering along in Erid-luin while in WoW there are tons of people, even in the starting arias. Im just hoping to meet more people once I get to the top lvls.

Toward a Proper View of Conscience: The Insistence of God
It is important to consider not only the existence but the insistence of God
We commonly speak about God's existence. By "looking out" into the world we can rationally establish God, that He is. These proofs all rely on the underlying assumption that the created world is true, and our senses are adequate to it. Not only does God exist as may be rationally demonstrated, one can also say that God "insists." To say that God "insists" is to suggest that we can find a proof of God, and that He is, by "looking in," specifically, by looking at our conscience. This is what I mean by the "insistence" of God.
Traditionally, of course, all manner of rational "proofs" were thought up by Catholic thinkers to show that it was reasonable to believe that God exists. We have, for example, the famous "five proofs" of St. Thomas Aquinas.
Using proofs such as these, by "looking out" into the world we can rationally establish God, and that He is. These proofs all rely on the underlying assumption that the created world is true, and our senses are adequate to it. As Pope Benedict XVI put it in his book Jesus of Nazareth, "The world is 'true' to the extent that it reflects God: the creative logic, the eternal reason that brought it to birth." The truth of the created world is therefore a witness to uncreated Truth.
Not only does God exist as may be rationally demonstrated, one can also say that God "insists."
The word insists likewise comes from Latin, specifically the words in ("into" or "in") and sistere ("to cause to stand"). To say that God "insists," then, is to suggest that we can find a proof of God, and that He is, by "looking in," specifically, by looking at our conscience. This is what I mean by the "insistence" of God.
There are perhaps no two better guides for exploring God's "insistence" than St. Augustine and Blessed John Henry Newman. At least as far as I have found, nowhere do we find the notion of God's "insistence" better explored, or at least more beautifully expressed.
Blessed John Henry Newman, of course, might be called the Doctor conscientiae, the Doctor of Conscience. Newman understood conscience to be something more than a sense of propriety, or convention, or feeling, or opinion, or taste, all of which he would have referred to as "counterfeit" conscience.
Newman believed that conscience properly understood was "the echo of God's voice." Authentic conscience had the "prerogative of commanding obedience," of enjoining upon us a moral duty, a prerogative which convention, opinion, feeling, or taste do not have. In describing conscience, it is difficult, even in the vast annals of Catholic thought, to encounter words as beautiful as these which come from Newman's Letter to the Duke of Norfolk:
"The rule and measure of duty is not utility, nor expedience, nor the happiness of the greatest number, nor State convenience, nor fitness, order, and the pulchrum [beautiful]. Conscience is not a long-sighted selfishness, nor a desire to be consistent with oneself, but it is a messenger from Him, who, both in nature and in grace, speaks to us behind a veil, and teaches and rules us by His representatives. Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ, a prophet in its informations, a monarch in its peremptoriness, a priest in its blessings and anathemas, and, even though the eternal priesthood throughout the Church could cease to be, in it the sacerdotal principle would remain and would have a sway."
The Second Vatican Council embraces this concept when in Gaudium et spes (No. 16) it taught that "Conscience is the most secret core and sanctuary of a man. There he is alone with God, whose voice echoes in his depths."
Because conscience--again, not "counterfeit" conscience, but authentic conscience--is a witness to truth, it, like the created world, can be a witness to Truth, namely, God and that He is. In his Grammar of Assent, Newman expanded on his belief that the sense of duty or command that he discovered in his conscience was proof of what I have called God's "insistence," of God, and that He is.
"If, as is the case, we feel responsibility, are ashamed, are frightened, at transgressing the voice of conscience, this implies that there is One to whom we are responsible, before whom we are ashamed, whose claims upon us we fear. If, on doing wrong, we feel the same tearful, broken-hearted sorrow which overwhelms us on hurting a mother; if, on doing right, we enjoy the same sunny serenity of mind, the same soothing, satisfactory delight which follows on our receiving praise from a father, we certainly have within us the image of some person, to whom our love and veneration look, in whose smile we find our happiness, for whom we yearn, towards whom we direct our pleadings, in whose anger we are troubled and waste away . . ...

I recently needed Servant of God John A. Hardon's (S.J.) definition of "a posteriori," which to me in hindsight is largely included in your fine article: A POSTERIORI. From what is after, that is, from effect back to cause. Reasoning from experience or inductively. Opposite of a priori. This is the only valid proof for the existence of God, from creatures as effects to the Creator as their First Cause." God bless.

This is an excellent description of Blessed John Henry Newman's teaching on conscience which is all the important because "my conscience" is so often used today to justify behavior contrary to God's moral law, and Newman is so often invoked for liberal interpretations of doctrine and morals.
Andrew Greenwell also gives us a very noteworthy explanation of St. Augustine's notion of God's intimacy with each man, and his truth in the soul.

Everybody knows the word God but no body knows who or what He is as the Bible says that at no time has any one ever seen God or heard his voice & the only way to know God is through His Son Jesus Christ, the express image of God, by his words "I am in the Father & the Father in me , me & the Father are one". But again Jesus says of the manner 'You do not know the Father neither the Son, but them unto whom the Son pleases to reveal". The Arc of the Covenant made by Moses with the two golden Cherubs again mentioned in Ch. Zechariah as the two olive trees that stand to the right & to the left, beside the God of all the earth, was the Physical manifestation of the Original Spiritual covenant, which was seen by Apostle John when the heavens opened & it is the revelation of this original & Spiritual Covenant called the new Covenant that Jesus Speaks, revealed individually in the Spirit by God ,foretold by Prophet Jeremiah of 'ole to the revelation of the covenant which comes in fulness of Christ Jesus, which incidentally was revealed by God to Abraham from whom the Covenant started to the reconnection of Man to God, for Abraham greatly rejoiced in his time at seeing the day of Christ in the fulness, to the salvation of mankind, which shows how greatly God loved this father of faith, even unto his wife Sarah as the mother of many nations.

something old, something new
I greet the appearance of this magazine each year with mixed emotions. I know it's filled with cutesy crafts and recipes recycled and modified only slightly from year to year. I couldn't begin to count how many versions of the Rice Krispie jack-o-lantern I've encountered in my lifetime. But as I stand there in the grocery aisle, it is unfailingly the first glimpse of a Halloween magazine that I receive every summer. And I can't resist it.
So maybe it's just me. Maybe this summer's incessant rain is making my brain soggy. Or maybe it's simply a result of my diminished expectations. But this year's offering seems to be a modest improvement over recent years. Particularly in the beverage section.
This cider is at the top of my list if the Valley's apple crop survives the summer.
And if September's weather turns out to be warmer than August's (as it sometimes does) I may opt for a cold smoothie instead of hot cider.
Yes, as I eagerly turned the pages, I was impressed with several of this year's recipes. Maybe there has been a conscious effort on the part of the magazine's producers to add some variety and freshness to their standard repertoire. Or maybe I'm still giddy from that first glimpse of orange.

That cider is incredibly tempting. Even if the recipe itself turns out to be shite, I love the idea of using apples for mugs. That is beautiful.
And if it makes you feel any better, I get excited about this magazine as well. My first glimpse of it always happens on an annual trip to a location with no TV, internet, phone, whathaveyou- and so I spend hours pouring over the thing.
Thanks for making me smile! - August 10, 2011

I loooove those kinds of magazines. And would love to try that hot cider. Although I think a good cold cider is good whether the temperature is hot or cold. I don't know how september will feel like, but August already has looks and feels of September and Autumn: it is cool and some leaves are already changing colours and falling down.

Yes, I too look forward to the first signs of Autumn/Halloween publications. The foggy, wet, chilly weather here in Nfld has me in the Halloween spirit early. It might as well be fall and as I write this I'm wearing wool socks, fleece pants and jacket! In fact, I could really use a hot cider now!

Introducing Enhydra
Last month, we looked at XMLC, a new system for displaying dynamic web content that comes with the Enhydra application server. This month, we will look at how to write servlets and basic applications using the tools that come with Enhydra. While Enhydra's web applications are not as standardized as servlets with Jakarta-Tomcat, they do offer a fair amount of power and the possibility of creating Enterprise JavaBeans with a fully open-source infrastructure.
Enhydra is an open-source application server written in Java, aiming for full compliance with Sun's J2EE specifications. Lutris, the company that spearheads Enhydra development, has made the application server available under a BSD-like license. The current stable version of Enhydra is 3.x and includes support for a large number of standards, including servlets and JSPs. Enhydra Enterprise, which is slated for release during the summer of 2001, will have additional J2EE features, including support for Enterprise Java Beans (EJB).
Enhydra itself is available as a fully open-source product, meaning that you can download it from the Web and install it. But for those clients who might be suspicious of open-source software, who want to use a packaged product that has gone through quality assurance or who want to get support from Lutris, commercial versions of Enhydra are available. I suspect that most people reading this column will not need support from Lutris, but it is good to know that they are ready and willing to help others use the product.
Lutris is aiming Enhydra not just at the J2EE market but also at the market for wireless internet applications. I personally have yet to see a compelling use of cellular internet technologies—the WAP functionality on my mobile phone could charitably be called pathetic—but Lutris is positioning Enhydra as a player in what will inevitably become a hot market.
While Enhydra has yet to develop the mindshare or community of Zope and the ArsDigita Community System, they have managed to score a fair number of impressive commercial triumphs. In particular, Hewlett-Packard recently announced that they would work with Lutris to market and use Enhydra in a number of applications. If nothing else, this proves that open-source application servers do have an important place in the world of web application development and that they can provide a compelling case even to companies that could otherwise afford to pay much more.
Now that we've reviewed a bit of the background, let's try to create some basic web applications using Enhydra. The first task, of course, is to download and install the product. I decided to download the beta of Enhydra Enterprise, in no small part because I wanted to play with the EJB features. As of the beta release, Enhydra Enterprise requires JDK 1.3, a pleasant contrast to previous releases that required JDK 1.2 even after 1.3 had been released for quite a while.
I downloaded and unpacked the Enhydra tar file, which created a large number of files and directories under the enhydra4.0 directory. As you might guess, the doc directory contains documentation, the lib directory contains .jar files that Enhydra needs and the conf directory contains global Enhydra configuration files. There is also a bin directory, in which nearly all files are shell scripts (with Windows .bat equivalents) that execute the various Java programs that make up Enhydra.
To ensure that the Enhydra shell scripts and Java programs are aware of the directory in which you installed Enhydra, run the configure shell script in the root directory of the Enhydra distribution (to which I will refer as $ENHYDRA). configure takes a single mandatory argument, the root directory of your JDK installation. configure modifies a number of Makefiles and other configuration files but does not force a recompilation of any code. After running configure (which does not produce any visible output), run the bash shell script (setup.bash) in $ENHYDRA, which adds the JDK executable directory to your PATH.
Enhydra consists of a number of different interrelated software packages. The application server itself, known as the multiserver, can work directly opposite HTTP clients or with a front-end web server such as Apache acting as a proxy. You can reduce the number of services that the multiserver starts up or change the order in which they are started by changing the loadOrder property in $ENHYDRA/conf/bootstrap.conf.
To start the multiserver, simply run $ENHYDRA/bin/multiserver. It should start up right away, launching services one at a time until you finally see the message, "Bootstrapper initialized normally". At this point, you can test the multiserver by pointing your web browser at port 8001, which should bring up a control panel for viewing the current state of your multiserver.
My initial attempts to launch the multiserver failed, with the program complaining that it was unable to find enhydra.jar in my CLASSPATH. Particularly confusing here was the fact that I couldn't find any such file as enhydra.jar in the entire Enhydra distribution.
The solution turned out to be simple, if not obvious: Enhydra knows what CLASSPATH is necessary in order to run each of its programs but will ignore those settings if you have already set your CLASSPATH. So before running the multiserver, make sure to unset CLASSPATH, removing this environment variable. Once you have done this, the multiserver should come up as expected.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Bettman returned to the site of talks with the players' association after spending about two hours with executives from the league's 30 teams a few blocks away. The commissioner offered a brief statement but declined to take questions.
Bettman and union executive director Donald Fehr are again sitting out the latest round of talks that are made up of six team owners and 18 players, along with staff and counsel on both sides. Players and owners met for a total of nearly eight hours on Tuesday in different size groups. Enough progress was made to get back to the bargaining table after talks ended around midnight Tuesday.

Please let this be true. I'm excited to see what Adam Oates can do as the new head coach.

Lot's of exciting things happening in the hockey world this morning (technically it was last night). Everything should be taken with a huge grain of salt, but it's certainly better than all the other news we've been hearing.

#CBA negotiations are strenous, but are closer and closer. Fans will have NHL hockey by Christmas, very likely games on Christmas day.

Just got a text from owners side that his guess is season starts on dec 26th.

IF I were going to read into anything, I'd be more likely to focus on fact that flow of info/details from room is shut down tight.
Looks like an agreement is close and this is great news. I'm really missing the hockey as I'm not an NBA fan at all.
I may have posted those a bit early. After reading some more I found articles like this
Now there's word that the players want the talks to be open today, aka Fehr and Bettman will be back in the room. I realize that a final deal can't be made without those guys around, but I don't think their at that stage yet.NEW YORK--The conversation went something like this.
"Let's leave," said Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, turning to NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly.
"It's up to you," replied Daly.
At that point during the talks between the NHL and NHL Players Association on Wednesday, a day that began as a continuation of the momentum generated on Tuesday, both sides were at the precipice, and the 2012-13 season was in jeopardy. Earlier, Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller had angrily vented when the owners said they were disappointed with the players responses to an earlier offer and threatened to pull everything off the table.
But with Jacobs poised to abandon the talks, other owners spoke up, and then both sides dramatically backed away from the precipice. When talks ended close to 1 a.m. Thursday morning after more than eight hours of talks without NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and union executive director Don Fehr, it certainly seemed from the outside they were getting closer and closer to a deal to end this ugly lockout.
For the players, the current deal sounds pretty fair. It's a 10 year CBA, the owners up'd their make whole provision offer to $300M, added in $50M worth of pension money, are not changing the UFA or arbitration rules, contracts can only vary by 5% year to year, but there's a 5 years limit on contract length (7 if you sign with your own team).
If I'm a player, that's pretty close to when I've been looking for. Maybe try to get the 5 year contract limit up to 6, but otherwise that looks pretty good.

Me too. Gave up on the NBA about 4 years ago when the Wiz kept sucking and the Caps were stomping people. But I've been a fan of both teams for a long time, so don't get me wrong. I'm not a bandwagon Caps fan since I've been watching them the year they traded for Rod Langway. But Hockey has always been my second favorite sport behind football.

Because Fehr and Bettman got re-involved
**** those idiots
---------- Post added December-6th-2012 at 06:59 PM ----------
Lot of positivity now that Fehr made his conference and announced what are allegedly huge gains in the process in terms of the financial aspects of the NHL
We get closer and closer to the return of Capitals hockey
I am sad to report that the NHL has denied the NHLPA's demands and Fehr says there is "no resolution soon"
I am disappointed
So much progress was made, but the process is so fragile and any gust like that can just damage hope
Just...just stunned here

Fehr: It looks like this is not going to be resolved in the immediate future.
Donald Fehr is a piss of ****. The minute he in walked into the room the deal was ****ed.

Donald Fehr is a ****nut. The longer this goes, the more he makes. This is what he lives for. Ask MLB. The owners are *******s, but the players caused this 2 years ago when they hired Donald Fehr.

Truth is, while not meaning to insult anybody, if you believe Bettman is the wolf then you are a disillusioned idiot. Sorry but it's true.
Fehr is all PR no substance. Manipulative POS.

I've downloaded plugins only to find that I already had ... read more [+]a more competent feature already within the package. The drag-n-drop interface is most appealing, and I rarely find myself lost. When I do, the community forums are top notch, with many helpful users than seemingly never sleep. I'm trying to purchase Komplete 9, as the S1 Pro comes with Komplete Elements. I'm waiting to find out if I am eligible for a cross-grade or upgrade. If I am eligible, that further increases the value of this package. Melodyne is another valuable addition, and is a breeze to use. Note: If using this DAW in native 64bit mode, you can only use true 64bit VSTs. I have wasted a few dollars on un-useable purchases. This DAW also does not have surround support, though I'm hoping that it can be patched in with a later update. All-in-all I am stoked to be using such a complete solution for recording. close [-]

March 14, 2013 Music Background: 20+years live performing, live/studio engineer I have used many different DAWs and they all did ok, but this one leaves them all at the curb standing like fools in the rain. The features that are included in this program are everything you could want to truly get complete control over your home studio projects. From fx and eq's that really sound great to compressors, limiters, and gates that work like real rack mounted gear, this DAW delivers..! The drag and drop functions makes so many things so simple. I have owned this program for 6 months and it would take me an hour to tell you all the great things about it I have found. What is amazing is I have less than 70% of this program figured out, I have barely even started to learn about the Mastering Section, (a feature not included on the "industry standard" program). I did a Cd for a friend last year on ProTools. When I got Studio One, I recorded his newest song and rough mixed it after the recording session. He was so blown away by the sound he asked me to remix all of the songs from his last Cd..! I remixed the first one already, and the mix I got was 10 times better sounding than the Cd, and it took me less than half of the time to get that mix. If you own a home studio, BUY THIS PROGRAM..! It could turn out to be the BEST investment you ever make. One other thing, I recommend that you have a computer that has some processing power. Once you get used to this DAW you will be able to do mixing and editing so fast that your old computer may not be able to keep up. close [-] Studio2.5 Professional

Pack up all your cares and woes,
Here I go, singing low, bye bye blackbird
…… blackbird, bye bye.
Last post, they're selling my posts. I never wanted or got a nickel from them, I will be removing them from WordPress.
I don't know how to do this as I'm a writer and not a techie, that's probably why they allow people to steal my words and sell them.
To my readers, I salute you and will be back on other than WordPress. Thank you for being with me and inspiring me these few years. The grandmother who died before I was a year old sang that song to me, to get me to go to sleep. It's that time. Dee

Comment posted Argyll First endorse Michael Breslin in Dunoon vote by Integrity? Not in the CondemAll.
You may well be right David regarding the New Schools for the Future Grant. I believe this was matched funding of 50% and therefore the Council had committed 50% of non funded capital expenditure to the project (which could clearly either be used elsewhere or removed from the capital programme).
As I haven't see any award letter from the SG for this funding it is not possible to comment on what terms, conditions and restrictions were placed upon the SG's 50% award however that is something that councillor Walsh should have been asking officers to determine.
I am not sure what the timescales are but I notice there was a paper that went to full council on April 19th which discusses the Funding of Schools for Future Projects and the proposed school facilities in Dunoon and Campbeltown. It states in it that the SG 'have set out the key conditions and guidance for procuring bodies receiving revenue finance and the conditions and guidance have been accepted by the Council' It would therefore be interesting to see what these conditions and guidance were as we could then be in a better position to judge whether the SG were ringfencing a portion of the funding to the Dunoon project and the Dunoon project only.
Integrity? Not in the CondemAll also commented
- Good for her. It will be nice to see an independent councillor in an A&B administration actually be allowed to be independent without being thrown out of a party that doesn't officially exist!
- Dougie is correct and any argument made by Cllr Walsh along these lines is either demonstrating his ignorance and that of those supposed to be advising him or (and this is what I suspect) is a feeble attempt to score political points.
As much as A&B's financial work around the school closure left them open to criticism there is no way they are not fully aware of how revenue support is made up and the very small portion of it that might be subject to ring fencing. It is common knowledge in local government finance.
Put simply revenue support from central government has three main components.
1. Ring fenced grants (a very low percentage of overall support) which are awarded with fairly clear instructions about what they are to be used for and often tie in with more national policy. There used to be a lot more ring-fencing than there is now but it was reduced significantly when the Concordat was first introduced.
2. Non –domestic rates which need little explanation.
3. The general revenue grant – which is the big pot given to the Council to use as they deem appropriate. Out of that they have to pay for service delivery, servicing of debt etc etc (basically pay to operate)
Cllr Walsh has been in the game more than long enough to be aware of this and the corporate management team are aware of it too. Any claims that he didn't know are utter nonsense and suggest he feelt the electorate will just believe him because they don't know better.

- Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
I heard (but this could be wrong) that the vote was 18 to 17 which does suggest one absentee meaning the vote carries. An unfortunate vote to miss. However this would still leave an ongoing 18 vs 18 when it comes to full council decisions. This will be interesting and challenge both parties to demonstrate that they are really made up of a collection of independents rather than a party in all but name. - Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again

Not sure if I agree with putting fascism and Islam on the same shelf (as it were).
