Integrated Risk Management for Leisure Services provides both students and professionals with a systematic approach to safety. By integrating risk management, accident prevention, and emergency response with information on legal liability, Integrated Risk Management for Leisure Services enables leisure service providers to implement strategies to reduce or eliminate bodily injury, property damage, and financial loss. Integrated Risk Management for Leisure Services uses a four-phase integrated risk management model. The first three phases focus on negligence, the accident process, and risk management plans to reduce or eliminate injury, damage, or loss. The fourth phase focuses on what to do after an incident occurs to reduce the impact of injury, damage, or loss. Integrated Risk Management for Leisure Services features several unique aspects for students and professionals in the recreation and park field. It covers safety prevention and accident processes in the recreation and parks field. Then it addresses how to manage the post-incident situation to reduce impacts. Last, the text integrates these two new areas with the traditional areas of legal liability and risk management planning in an effort to provide safer recreation and park programs.

That one seems like a no-brainer, but, seriously, have you ever considered how many charities to which you could give your time? Your local civic association is always in need of volunteers for projects like "let's clean up the park before a hundred dogs crap on it again" and Greenscape (the same thing), toys-for-tots, Christmas In April, and so on. Don't forget about all your local politicians who need help with their campaigns. If one impresses you, offer to knock on a few doors for her or him. Host a cheese and cracker party for the community to get to know the candidate. These are not only friend-making possibilities, they are networking opportunities and a chance to give back and feel good about that. Remember that "Seinfeld" episode where Jerry gets a girl's number off of an AIDS walk? Bingo. That's what I'm talking about.

In this issue of New Phytologist, Kitajima et al. (pp. 640–652) provide new insights into how leaves resist the rigours of life in the rainforest understory, seeking explanations of durability at multiple levels, and confirming the utility of a new way of standardizing toughness measurements. Their paper relates leaf structural and material properties, as well as chemical composition, to seedling leaf lifespan, herbivory and survival of 24 rainforest tree species in a common garden experiment in gap and understory environments.
'Terms like "toughness" have been used rather loosely by plant biologists, in contrast with the specific terminology of engineering.'
Persistent leaves are common in a range of habitats where only low rates of net carbon gain and growth are possible, such as nutrient-poor soils, alpine and boreal ecosystems, and the shaded understories of rainforests. A range of structural and chemical properties of leaves have been interpreted as defences that prolong leaf lifespan by protecting against herbivores, pathogens and physical stresses (e.g. Choong, 1996; Coley & Barone, 1996; Read & Sanson, 2003; Onoda et al., 2011). The impressive correlations of leaf lifespan with leaf dry mass per area (LMA) in global datasets (Reich et al., 1999; Wright et al., 2004) might suggest that robust construction is what really counts. However, this straightforward interpretation seems at odds with the fact that shade leaves often live longer than sun leaves of the same species, despite their lower LMA (Lusk et al., 2008).
Three levels of 'toughness'

One contribution of the new paper by Kitajima et al. is in consolidating the view that fully-expanded leaves are defended mainly by their mechanical properties ('toughness'), rather than by chemical defences (Coley, 1983; Choong, 1996) – the latter may be more important in young soft leaves still in expansion (Choong, 1996; Coley & Barone, 1996).
Terms like 'toughness' have been used rather loosely by plant biologists, in contrast with the specific terminology of engineering (Read & Sanson, 2003). Kitajima et al. instructively consider leaf toughness at three levels: per unit surface area (structural level), per unit volume (material level or tissue level) and per unit dry mass (mass level) (Fig. 1). Structural toughness is an indicator of a leaf's overall resistance to external force (e.g. wind or falling debris), which can be increased by a thicker lamina and/or tougher material. Material toughness (also called 'fracture toughness' in engineering) can be increased by high tissue density and high specific toughness (called 'density-corrected toughness' in Kitajima et al.). Specific toughness was recently shown to be a major contributor to leaf structural toughness (Onoda et al., 2011); this is not surprising, as density measurements do not distinguish cell wall components from cell contents, which contribute between 14% and 77% of leaf dry mass (Onoda et al., 2011). Leaves with high specific toughness are unattractive to herbivores not only because more energy is required to ingest a given amount of biomass, but also because their large cell wall fraction reduces their nutritional value (Clissold et al., 2009; Lusk et al., 2010). Specific toughness of shade leaves was found to be higher than that of sun leaves of the same species, which might help explain the persistence of shade leaves despite their having smaller LMA than sun leaves (Onoda et al., 2008; Lusk et al., 2010).

As far as we are aware, Kitajima et al. are the first authors to explicitly examine the contributions of different cell wall components to specific toughness of leaves. Their finding – that cellulose content is by far the best predictor of toughness – is a jolt to the vague notion that 'lignification' is what makes plant tissues 'toughen up'. This finding may be news to many of us who focus on leaves, even though scientists studying wood have long known that cellulose, rather than lignin, is what gives wood fibres most of their strength (Winandy & Rowell, 1984). The lignin content of leaves is, however, known to strongly influence decomposition rates and hence nutrient cycling (Melillo et al., 1982). Although leaf toughness also impacts on decomposition rates (Cornelissen & Thompson, 1997), it thus transpires that the lifespans of leaves and their posthumous effects on ecosystem processes are differentially influenced by two of the main components of the cell wall.

Kitajima et al. use path analysis to show that all three levels of toughness influence lifespans of rainforest tree seedlings. They examined direct and indirect effects of cellulose content, lamina density and each level of toughness on leaf lifespan by comparing alternative path models. Two aspects are of particular interest. First, lamina thickness contributed much less to leaf lifespan than did tissue density, confirming a pattern reported in at least three recent studies in rainforests (Kitajima & Poorter, 2010; Lusk et al., 2010; Westbrook et al., 2011). Lamina density and lamina thickness are two components of LMA, a well-known correlate of leaf lifespan both within and across habitats (Reich et al., 1999; Wright et al., 2004). Second, lamina density contributed to leaf lifespan not only via material toughness (Fig. 1) but also directly (Fig. 2). Yet it remains uncertain exactly how lamina density itself contributes to leaf lifespan. High lamina density may result from limited intercellular airspaces or from a high dry matter content (DMC, dry mass/fresh mass) (Poorter et al., 2009). Field studies have repeatedly found that leaves with high DMC (less water content) are unattractive to herbivores (e.g. Coley, 1983), but it is not clear whether it is the high DMC per se that deters herbivores, or high material toughness and/or any other defence mechanisms via high DMC. Similarly, there is no obvious a priori hypothesis linking leaf lifespan to intercellular airspaces.
While it seems clear that leaf lifespans of juvenile trees in humid forests are related to tissue density rather than lamina thickness, this pattern might not be generalizable to other situations. In semi-arid sclerophyll vegetation, for example, leaf lifespan is strongly correlated with lamina thickness as well as lamina density (Wright & Westoby, 2002; Mediavilla et al., 2008). Since thicker laminas are often found in sunny or arid habitats (Onoda et al., 2011), quite different suites of traits may be selected for in these environments. Similarly, understory plants are sheltered from wind damage, which might reduce the importance of structural toughness (to which lamina thickness contributes; Fig. 1) relative to material or mass-level toughness, compared to plants growing in open environments. Furthermore it remains to be seen if the low respiration rates of the persistent leaves of shade-tolerant plants (Baltzer & Thomas, 2007) have parallels in other unproductive environments. Although this and other recent papers by Kitajima and colleagues have helped us understand the leaf traits favoured by natural selection in shaded understories, plant ecologists therefore still face some big challenges in developing an integrated global understanding of the determinants of leaf lifespan and associated traits.

Not all Sinhalese are evil. Neither is every Tamil a saint. But the fact remains that every soldier in the Sri Lankan army who fought the war against the LTTE during 2008-2009 was a Sinhalese.
This background information is essential for any non-Tamil to understand how the Sri Lankan army can be so brutal against its own civilians. In Sri Lanka, Tamils are not treated on par with the Sinhalese. They are not inducted into the army, which is almost a 100 percent Sinhalese force.
Are there any Tamils in the force at all? The then Sri Lankan deputy high commissioner in Chennai P M Amza refused to reveal the number of Tamils in the Lankan army when I sought the information from him in an email interview in 2007. I was a correspondent with Tehelka then.
Having reported on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue for many years, I have noticed the deep-seated prejudice that most Sinhalese harbour against Tamils.
In April 2009, Harinder Baweja, Tehelka's Editor, Investigations, asked me to rush to Colombo to check out the ground situation as the war was entering its final stages.
I applied for a visa. They kept me on tenterhooks for over a week. Sri Lankan consulate officials in Chennai asked me to contact their foreign ministry office in Colombo. I spoke with many officials, but nothing worked.
Harinder did not understand what was happening. She kept saying that many Indian journalists had already landed in Colombo. Why then I was being denied a visa?
It was true that Colombo rolled out the red carpet to many Indian journalists, but most of them toed the army line. They flew in army helicopters to the war front, and reported what the Lankan officials told them.
My reporting on the Lankan issue had always been fair. I spoke to both sides - the Tamil militants and the army - which the Lankan officials did not apparently like. Was it the reason I was denied a visa? Or was it simply because I was a Tamil myself?
Forget that. The point is, Colombo is a spoilt brat. She only wants good things said about her. She wants to be caressed and fondled at all times. She has been fed and pampered by India and China, who have an eye on her assets - which includes her strategic geographical position. She lives on their money. Like overbearing mistresses she has now come to believe that she can get away with anything, even mass murder.
But Colombo has made a grave mistake in overestimating the influence of her friends. She has always been dim witted. India and China cannot go beyond a certain limit to save her.
There is mounting evidence of Colombo's war crimes. Channel 4, a British TV channel, which has aired horrifying video footage of the brutal acts of Sinhalese soldiers in the past, recently showed more clips that provide fresh evidence to haul up Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa before the International Criminal Court on charges of war crime.
The new footages show naked bodies of Tamil women, who seem to have been sexually abused before being killed. Lewd remarks from the soldiers like, "I really want to cut her tits off, if no one was around," bring out the beastly nature of the government forces.
International community is losing its patience with Colombo with each passing day.
Responding to the Channel 4 footage, Britain's foreign office minister Alistair Burt has said: "Since the end of the conflict the UK has called for an independent, thorough and credible investigation of the allegations that war crimes were committed during the hostilities and the UK Government expects to see progress by the end of the year.
If the Sri Lankan government does not respond we will support the international community in revisiting all options available to press the Sri Lankan Government to fulfil its obligations."
The Weekend Leader was first among the Indian media to forecast what was coming for Rajapaksa. In April, soon after the UN Panel submitted its indicting report on Sri Lanka, we wrote an article headlined, 'Ground prepared for Mahinda Rajapaksa's tryst with destiny'.
We will continue to keep the spotlight on the issue till justice is rendered to the Tamils.

DEFINITION of 'Problem Loan Ratio'
A ratio in the banking industry that denotes the percentage of problem loans to sound ones. The problem loan ratio is ultimately a measure of the health of the banking and lending industries and the economy. A higher ratio means a greater number of problem loans and vice-versa.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Problem Loan Ratio'
The problem loan ratio can be broken down by the level of delinquency of loans, such as those less than 90 days past due versus those more severely in arrears. This ratio increased across the board during the 2007-2009 recession and subprime fallout. This ratio can apply to specific banks, bank branches or the industry as a whole.

It's already always packed at Anna Marie. One of the best breaks on the coast... I've heard from some it is the best
I was told about White Ave by 5 different sources from 5 different cities on the east coast, oh and my 50 year-old secretary suggested it as well - I'm pretty sure this spot hasn't been a secret for a long time. And as for parking, Gulf Ave about 3/4 mile north is perfect if you get there early enough. Faceless, shoot me a pm when you plan to hang out and I'll shoot some!
Check out www.surfmexicobeach.com for some pictures from Gustavo. Its just a locally-run site with no ads or anything or I wouldn't recommend it. I couldn't get over there but everyone I talked to said it was good.
well, i went to the 'not so secret' spot in panama city..... it must have been the right decision, seeing as how Shea and Corey Lopez, Pete Mendia, Asher Nollen, and Ryan Briggs were there.
it was decent, no where near EPIC, but better than sitiing at the house.
florida was discovered in the 15th century, i think it is pretty safe to assume your "secret spot" isn't so "secret" ...
to be fair you probably know how to get to spanish house and Mat. Inlet ...
the only spot we have kept a secret @ here is the "cove" and we had to bury it under 30 feet of sand to do it ;-)
Well, I had a lot of fun at a spot on Manasota key. A spot that I've surfed for the past 10 years or so with only a few friends. When we pulled up on the morning of...we were met with about 30 other guys and crowded parking. By the end of it all, our secret spot became THE spot on the key, which I guess sucks but the times, they are a'changing

Trouble with oil base primer
I am practicing on a drawer back before I start to paint my cabinets and am having a very difficult time with the oil primer. I am using BM Fresh Start, the first time I applied it I was using an older Purdy brush and it turned out to be real "ropy" and rough. Talked to the paint store, he suggested a new "white china bristle brush" and to thin the primer (even tho on the back of the can it clearly states "Do not thin". So bought the brush and thined the primer, it still turned out ropy and rought altho not quite as bad. What am I doing wrong? I usually work with latex (hate oil) and never have a problem. Can someone please help me. After reading all day yesterday I am thinking about buying FPE paint (right now I have BM Satin Impervo) but am concerned about trying another oil primer until I figure out my problem. Thank you so much.
I guess the best way to explain it is - real thick brush marks . When I tried to sand it the brush marks were still very rough. I am painting over previously stained wood, which I have prepared by cleaning and sanding. It's kind of like the paint doesn't level off, hope this makes sense. It's only the back of a drawer so I can't be over working the paint, or at least I don't think so. Thanks for your advice.
Is it the fast dry? That one is hard to brush out because it has so little oil, I would not use it under an enamel job.
Enamel undercoater is the Moore primer I'd recommend for you. And thin it as much as you need to get it on smooth.
I always apply with a roller and brush out.
When dry, sand it all with 240 grit, and see if it needs a second coat of primer (likely). The second primer can effectively be rolled on with a foam roller cover, and not back-brushed. Sand that with 320 if there is any texture, before the finish coat. If the primer is difficult to sand, allow it to dry longer.
This dries to touch in 6 to 8 hours. I used a 150 sand paper and it hardly phased it at all, it dried hard as a brick. I have never used oil primer before so truly do not know how it is suspose to feel, but this surely can't be right. I have only used latex in the past and never have any problems at all.
How much should I thin it? I used 2 tablespoons to a quart.
When I did my FPE sample boards, I just used two coats of C2's SAP (Sandable Acrylic Primer-Latex) a couple hours apart, and let them sit 'till the next day. These sanded-off nice.
(You can use Zinsser's 123 primer as well.)
You CAN do 2 or 3 coats of primer to give yourself SOME grain-filling function and sanding-cushion.
I then did two coats of FPE's ECO-series (Latex) White....WOW!
Bottom-line...you can thin primer. Cans often state "No thinning" 'cuz sometimes people use the wrong stuff, or way too much, etc.
* A very good "relaxer" for Oil primers is XIM's X-tender for Oil paints & primers. There's a version for Latex paints/primers too.
* You won't need it with FPE stuff though!
* Most SW stores have some XIM stuff. I've got it @ the ACE where I work, but ACE itself doesn't carry it. We've got to order lots of stuff directly from vendors.
Faron, I ordered the FPE primer and paint today, can't wait to see the results I get with it. Also ordered the brushing putty. Emmett recommended oil base primer since I am trying the putty, and then I am going to topcoat with ECO latex in satin finish. My cabinets are going to gorgeous. LOL Will keep you posted.

Vehicles with a 6speed automatic transmission may develop one or more of the following faults related to a broken 35R clutch wave plate inside the transmission: Illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P0716, P0776, P0717, P0777, P2714, P2715, and/or P02723, loss of reverse gear, slipping or harsh 3rd or 5th gear shift. Removal and dis-assembly of the transmission will be required to replace the broken 35R wave plate. It is also extremely important that all debris from the failed part be cleaned from the transmission while it is disassembled in order to try and prevent future problems.Google+

Model Years Affected: 2003, 2008, 2009
Average Mileage: 72,682 mi (36,000 mi - 132,000 mi)
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue, 57,000 mi
Car started jerking when downshifting ..Per dealership..a broken wave plate is the culprit. Need new transmission..just my luck, 5 year warranty expired 9/2012, but only have 57,000 miles on this regularly maintenienced car. Now I see that this has been a common problem in this car..and I feel it should've been a recall issue but guess since it is not "life-threatening" it was not designated as such. VERY disappointing for a previously proud saturn owner and her pocketbook :(
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue, 54,000 mi
Car will not shift into reverse and when in drive will not shift from 1st. Dealer said it was due to a 35Clutch Wave Plate that broke & will cost$3500 to replace.
I feel GM should pay the full amount to fix it!
Visitor, 2003 Saturn Vue, 105,000 mi
same problem with no indication or warning prior to the existence of the condition. I try to promote and stand by American made products but for the average joe there is not much return for this type of loyalty. Bottom line Our car companies don't produce the best product they can and they don't stand by the ones they put out.
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue
I had the same problem hard to shift lost reverse. They rebuilt it and I haven't put 10,000 miles on it now the same thing is starting hard shifting, loud noise. Then try to find a dealer to work on it. It took 6 weeks to get it back the first time.
RKS., 2003 Saturn Vue, 132,000 miRookie
Check engine light is on and I have nor gears either forward or reverse. The car is a AWD with automatic and I'm having a heck of a problem seeking solutions. Seems like the repair is far more expensive than the actual overall value of the vehicle if it was running. As a loyal GM consumer its a shame they just won't step up to the plate and help out on the solutions for us! I've purchased 7 brand new GM vehicles and 12 used ones (as far as I can remember)so I expect a little loyalty from the fortune spent on them!
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue, 75,450 mi
complete loss of all gears. DTC P0777, P0796, P2715, P2723, P2724. The result of a 35r broken wave plate. Got a new reman trans from GM for $2350.00. Labor calls for 10+ hrs for a tech like myself but a good handyman with a little bit of mechanical know how and swap it. If you take it to a shop expect to pay anywhere from $3300 to $3900 for a job done right. Any less and you will run into this problem AGAIN. DONT USE A SALVAGE YARD trans in this case. There are updates when you buy one from GM that keep this from happening again with so little miles. If anyone charges you less then $3300.00, be Leary, they are most likely not educated enough to complete said repairs properly and or they are using a junk yard "salvage" transmission. Also thru GM the warranty that is offered is 3yr 36k miles. not bad for the price of comfort and not having this same issue again later. Good luck!
Kocioleks, 2008 Saturn Vue, 82,000 miRookie
Transmission failed on hwy. Lost 5th, 3rd and Reverse. I tried to drive using manual gear mode but after stopping transmission went into saving mode which allowed me to drive ony in 1st gear. Turned engine off. Started it again and was able to manually switched gears again. Went up to 6th gear skipping 3rd and 5th and somehow was able to get to the service. New transmission installed and $4000 bill.
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue, 102,000 mi
Started slipping in 5th gear between 50-60mph, then out of nowhere (without check engine light or other indicator) it started slipping in 3rd gear, especially when accelerating. The car is sitting in a garage being tested right now.
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue, 87,000 mi
Rebuilt transmission
Visitor, 2008 Saturn Vue, 36,000 mi
the car would not shift eventually leading to complete transmission failure. It is in the GM dealers garage now having a new transmission installed for $4100.00. Never knew of the issue

Respond to Review of Ganesh Darshan Vegetarian

Review: I had a look in this place, cheap as chips on Brigade Road very close to M G Road. Its all veg with a typical South Indian menu. Maybe I am being unkind but the hygiene standards don't appear to be what they could be so I've given it a miss so far.

This last Saturday I completed my last 20+ mile run. I wont have to go that far again until the 24th on race day. What an exhilarating and humbling experience these last 4 month of training have been. I was injured twice, I had two bad colds and a week of the flu. I had runs where I felt I could not go even a mile and runs where I felt I could go all day.
The alarm goes off and I'm out of bed at 5:00 am, eat some raisins for breakfast. Sit and surf the net for an hour to give myself time to make sure all bathroom issues are taken care of. Get dressed and head out the door. On the way to the gym I drop water bottles at a few points along the route that I will be covering that day.
When the run starts the first 3 miles are always rough. The body is tight and sometimes still a little sore from a past run. The first mile is always way to fast and it takes me the next few miles to settle down and find a pace that I can hold for the next 3+ hours... Yeah, 3+ hours, it's almost mind boggling when you think about it. Two years ago I was stressed over a 30 minute run and now I have run for 3 hours and 40 minutes straight without stopping. Kind of makes me feel like a super hero.. :-)
After the 16 mile mark the feet start to hurt and the legs are getting weaker. (mental note: pack some Advil and take it at mile 14) There is just a lot less spring to my step. But there is no way I am going to stop moving. This is why on a run like this I run away from the starting point until I get half the miles down then turn around and go back. You have to get back so you may as well run back. lol
I feel I'm ready for this race. I know I wont be able to hit my over enthusiastic goal of under 4 hours but I will do my best to be under 4 and a half.
Wish me luck...
Wow man. There is no way I would ever be able to do anything like that. Good job and good luck!
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
Great job. All the hard work is done. I'm guessing you're doing the Bayshore Marathon. Best of luck!
Phew, way to go! I used to love running, before my knees crapped out. My longest was a half marathon. I can't imagine doubling that distance...it was rugged.
Good work man! I ran a marathon last September, I feel your pain. I was aiming to break 4 hours, and ended up at 3:39, so don't underestimate yourself, with all the people running near you and people cheering along the route, you would be surprised how much adrenaline can play a factor. Stay hydrated during the race, I thought I was doing a good job (at least a cup of gatorade or water at EVERY station) and several gel packs, but I still started cramping at mile 22 or so.
BTW, I am willing to get that you will not do a single run for at least a month or two after the race... :-) Don't ask how I know.
But that first beer after the race (Provided by Avery brewing at my race) was like manna from the heavens, but I was completely wasted after it...
Good job man, once you get past that last long run, the hay is in the barn. Just remember that once you start tapering, you'll probably feel like crap, but that's normal. Good luck in the marathon, there's nothing quite like finishing one.
Congrats! I speak for alot of runners when I say that I wish I was in your shoes right now. I love the last big run and the feeling of looking forward to the event.

I've put in about 2 week's worth of gaming into Skyrim on the PC. I gave it a fair chance.
However given the massive amount of hype from both the media and fans; I found the game a huge letdown.
Skyrim is a step up from oblivion in a number of ways; the graphics are clearly better; and there are a number of places where exploration is quite charming. Some of the quests' dungeons are also beautiful - misty grove, sheogorath's realm, inside azura's star, the final hagraven cave; most of the spriggan caves; the icy grotto type dungeons and blackreach. The weather effects are superb and some of the vistas from mountaintops are truly gorgeous. Shortcomings with the graphics engine are often remedied with heavy use of particle effects like fog; which actually works out quite well usually.
But that's where it ends for me.
On to the criticisms:
1) UI & Inventory problems.
Bethesda traditionally favors aesthetics instead of functionality. Skyrim takes this approach to extremes.
The skill-tree UI goes for looks above all else, but navigating it often results in going to the wrong branch or the wrong tree. A static system would have been much easier to navigate.
Dialogue options use a list and nested sub-list based system where it's common to click on 1 thing and have something totally different activate. Additionally when opening the trade UI it's easy to close everything by just trying to choose a different category.
Player inventory doesn't have good sorting (by weight, for example); but the biggest gripe is that containers in your "house" have no categorization or sorting whatsoever. So a chest can have 200 items in 1 gigantic list.
Inventory weight is a huge problem in this game. I never had more than 40-50 lbs free in my bags.
What this meant was: 1st dragon kill ---> messy trade with companion; 2nd dragon kill ---> go back home and dump dragon scales/bones.
Inventory systems are supposed to just be limitations on how versatile your character is; or limits on how many consumables you can carry; or a realistic weight simulation. In skyrim it's none of these. It serves only to add a pointless tedium to run to and fro with items to vendor trash them for money. Why not just have extra gold drop off enemies instead of adding infinite junk items?
2) Combat & AI
Combat in skyrim is just too simplistic for a 2011 game. I played a dual wield 1h melee character.
Combat involved the following: Run up to enemy; double power attack (hold down both mouse buttons), nudge back; repeat.
Occasionally early on in the game if an enemy hit me hard; add in the step of navigating through the painful UI and clicking 15 minor health potions.
If you want to do anything else to switch up your play style to add variety : let's say cast a few destruction spells or shoot arrows from ranged; or heal mid-combat?
Well this involves yet again pausing mid-combat and navigating through the favorite menu or spell/item menu.
This greatly hinders the flow of combat and breaks the immersion.
AI - enemies see you, run up to you and flail away. That's it. They don't run away when low on health; find cover; or attack strategically in coordination with there buddies. Nor do they heal themselves.
Companion AI is similarly bad and frequently steps in front of you to take friendly fire and just die : remember that companions do not scale with your level.
Town Guard AI does the same thing and if a dragon attacks, they take fire from you and immediately become hostile.
With sensible perk selection after about level 30 everything seems to just fall over in 1-2 double power attack hits. Ramping up the difficulty just means the same attack strategy; but with more potion spamming.
Also: why are horses immortal tanks?
3) Level Scaling
As you level you are presented with enemies from a growing set of types. Basically the same enemies; but with more health and attack damage. [Draugr - vanilla, restless, wight, scourge, overlord, deathlord; for example]. Each of these subtypes however has a mostly static level. What this means is that difficulty increases erratically; and then just drops off. Since there are no ultimate villains to challenge higher level players.
Since difficulty in skyrim is just health and attack damage bloat; and potions can be chain used without restriction; all that "difficulty" scaling does is increase potion usage at these erratic transitional cusps in the leveling process.
4) OP perks, UP perks, the grind of leveling them and a clear flaw with usage based leveling systems.
As a 1h melee non-stealth character; there really aren't that many logical and useful perks to choose from. Smithing, Enchanting, One-handed, Alchemy, Heavy armor.
The problem is that choosing any 3 of these makes your character incredibly overpowered. You literally kill everything in the game in the span of 1-2 power double attacks.
A lot of perks are completely underpowered and almost useless : lock picking, speech, pickpocketing.
The game in fact actively penalizes choosing non-combat perks since enemies scale and become more powerful; but you do not.
Some perks are inherently "easy" to level : basically any crafting profession; just make 100 daggers and enchant them.
Your core combat mechanic perk is tied to the combat; so that's not so bad.
However anything else feels very artificial and incredibly grindy. This includes sneak, armor and any other combat perk you wouldn't normally use.
The problem is after 100 smith/ench/one-handed; your character just stops leveling. If you want to level you have to start out leveling something you never used; which sucks (since it's at 0 skill).
Heavy/ Light Armor/Block/Sneak are inherently grindy because they level up very slow to begin with; and can be automated by autorunning stealthed to a wall; or engaging a mudcrab and going afk.
5) Economy
Making gold in the game is just too easy. It's never a constraint. You can buy anything whenever you want.
An iron dagger which costs a pittance to make (~10g?) sells for 2000-3000g with dual enchants.
If you want to powerlevel a profession - no worries; npc inventories restock every 48 hours. So fast travel and then wait for 2 minutes at each vendor pitstop. This completely trivializes leveling things like smithing, enchanting and alchemy.
Soul gems were also probably a type of currency; but again trivialized by the above and soul tap enchants; or just going to the mages in winterhold that seem to have an infinite supply.
Another thing I could never quite understand is the reasoning behind gold limits on npc's themselves. Does it add to the fun in any way?
6) How Smithing & Encanting makes loot irrelevant - leads to lack of incentive
Smithing and Enchanting let you make ultimate weapons; with the stats and bonuses better than even the best artifacts available from the game. You choose your weapon type, upgrade it to the fullest and the enchants. The randomness of loot is gone. And with that the incentive to kill bigger and badder enemies goes too.
Typically RPGs use loot as a form of character progression; but in skyrim loot becomes irrelevant with the most obvious 2 perks.
7) Bugs, constant saving/loading/reloading
I probably don't need to elaborate on this it's quite well documented. Personally I've had my fair share of CTDs; rages because of lost saves or having to redo a dungeon.
Dragons flying backwards and every item in rooms going flying when i open doors are probably highlights.
8) Voice Acting and the lifelessness of npc's
Just like every other bethesda game there are a few great voice actors that do a couple of lines and then the vast majority is done by cheaper VA's that sounds tired and lazy. Accents are almost universally terrible and un-scandinavian; and the arnold austrian accent is also quite common (austrian=/=scandinavian).
Some notable examples:
Farengar saying "Have you come to Dragonsreach to discuss the ongoing hos(h)tilities like the rest of the rest of the great warriors?"
Erandur the dunmer mage companion frequently changes accents abruptly between a normal British accent and then heavy fake cockney.
Combined with the lack of facial expressions and rigidity of npc models; and lazy VA; most npc's seem very drab and lifeless. Also the fish-eye stare is quite unnerving.
9) Character animations and finishers
Bethesda still uses an upgraded version of Gamebryo and bizarre ragdoll death physics are very common. NPCs are still expressionless. It's absurd to have an RPG without facial expressions in 2011.
Running up mountains/inclines still is incredibly awkwardly done.
10) This is the first game where dragons become a pest
Dragons are supposed to be powerful, epic creatures; that instill fear in the hearts of people that see them. In skyrim dragons just fall over if you hide behind a rock and then allow them to land. They are easier to kill than city guards....
For me they actually die in 2 hits; and even the guards can whittle their health down.
Why are dragons a threat again ?
11) Disappointing and cliched questlines, fedex radiant quests and lack of clear C&C.
The main quest is so bad in most bethesda games; fans "brag" about spending 150 hours or more in the game "without even touching the mq". Bethesda uses the "if it's not broken don't fix it" rule so they don't care to make the MQ more interesting. So it still is the same old hero saves the world from dragons (which die in 2 hits btw and aren't even a threat to anyone).
There are tons and tons of filler quests that involve fast traveling from point A to point B to deliver an item or murder/steal something.
Finishing the main quest or any of the guild quest doesn't really have a noticeable impact on the game; you just get a bunch of radiant fetch quests or pest control jobs (companions). Choosing a faction doesn't really change anything. There are many choices in skyrim; but little in the way of consequences.
12) Puzzles
Puzzles consist of a claw which tells you the order in which to move 3 rotating disks to a door; or where you spin 4 pillars with animal carvings. However the right selection is on a picture right behind them. And it's this same thing every other dungeon. Not only is it boring; there is no challenge since the answer is just handed to you. Why bother implementing this ?
Anyway that's that. Bethesda excels at creating vast open and mostly beautiful worlds for a player to mess around in for weeks together. Skyrim does this very well.
But to me Skyrim is just a hiking and junk collecting simulator; something that would appeal to LARPers or people looking for an aimless single player mmorpg experience.
But as a video game; Skyrim is a huge disappointment.

1) No PvE grind for PvP gear. PvP grind for PvP gear I would do.
2) Balance pass on abilities and restrict consoles and Doff's (Pick any 2 or 3 of any combo of consoles and Doff's maybe)
3) If you break it, fix it. Right away would be good.
4) Sector control with worth while reward's
5) And like a lot of other people have said, make it fun again. Make me want to log in even if it is for only a half an hour or so. Which is about where my life is now. I can't spend hours every day playing a game. At most you will, If you are lucky, get me for 2 hours.
I have a LTS and want to like this game but you don't even give me much new PvE to grind in and you give nothing really for grinding in PvP.
Dazed and confused at what goes on in STO since Feb 2010
