Devik (I hope we can be friends again :-)), others, I'm currently working on the wondershaper 2.0 which is going to be much more a massmarket product (still GPL, no worries), and I'm wondering why the parent field of child qdiscs isn't filled out? If I create a cbq with several classes, and attach a qdisc to those classes, a later netlink dump (RTM_GETQDISCS) returns parent as 0:0 for that qdisc, is this right? Same holds for HTB and child qdiscs. Basically, I can't find a way to figure out where qdiscs are actually attached. Or should I look for that in xstats?

Ritz-Carlton Opens Hotel in Israel, Rents Suite for $2,500 a Night
Monday, December 16th, 2013Israeli hotels have literally gone ritzy with this week's opening of the $175 million Ritz-Carlton hotel in Herzliya adjacent to Tel Aviv, on Sunday. Rooms are available anywhere from $300 to $2500 a night, and its restaurant is kosher.
The Waldorf Astoria won will follow suit with the opening of its luxury hotel between Jerusalem's Old City and the downtown area.
"The Ritz-Carlton chain is happy to open its first hotel in Israel and provide its guests from all over the world the opportunity to enjoy the service whose name precedes it and the award-winning guest experience," said Ritz-Carlton president Hervé Humler.

Sears and QVC are highlighting seasonal offers.
Zak Stambor , Managing Editor
Even with Halloween in the rear-view mirror, only a smattering of retailers this week in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide switched their social media gears into pushing holiday-specific offers—or even just sharing holiday-specific posts. Some retailers, however, have gone all in.
That includes Sears Holdings Corp, No. 8 in the Top 500. The chain this week changed its Facebook cover page to a large image of a pair of gloves holding a tablet with the caption "This is how to gift." And the vast majority of its Facebook posts had a holiday-related spin, such as today's note, "Are you hosting a Holiday party this season? Make sure you are soiree chic with searsStyle!" The retailer also promoted such holiday-specific offers as this post: "It's almost 'time' for the Holidays! Get this Relic Men's Calendar Watch for only $39.99, Reg. $65.00. Online today only!" And yesterday the retailer posted a link to its Black Friday ad. Black Friday refers to the day after Thanksgiving.
Similarly, QVC , a division of Liberty Interactive, No. 7 in the Top 500, focused nearly all its Twitter messages, or tweets, around holiday gift ideas. For instance, today QVC posted a note reading "How cool would Santa be if this was under the tree? Children's Mercedes Benz#GiftIdea" with a link to an image it pinned on Pinterest.com. On the social network consumers can share or "pin" items, such as a particular vase from QVC.com. Pinterest users often add a brief description or caption that appears below an image of the pinned item, such as "This would look great in my living room." Those pins are gathered together on a board, which brands and users can organize around a particular theme— say, "For the home,"—and then share with other consumers.
Pinterest stands as a crucial element of QVC's social media approach this holiday season, as links to its Pinterest activity, namely the pins it has added to boards and those its fans have added to their boards, are woven throughout its Facebook and Twitter posts. For instance, yesterday QVC posted a note that said "See the most popular things QVC shoppers have pinned on Pinterest + find ideas for everyone on your list including the Safekeeper on 6 Easy Pays!"
Gap Inc., No. 22, this week launched a holiday marketing campaign centered around the theme "Love comes in every shade." The campaign features celebrities such as actor and activist Michael J. Fox, rapper Nas and blues musician Olu Dara. To promote the campaign, Gap lets its Facebook fans turn their photos on the social network into physical postcards. Gap also shared sneak peek photos of its new holiday collection attire on Instagram and Twitter.
Some retailers used social media to announce their first holiday-related price cuts. For instance, Barnes & Noble Inc., No. 32, announced that it had cut the price of its Nook tablet and Nook Color e-reader on Facebook and Twitter via notes asking "Is Nook on your holiday wish list?"
Meanwhile, Toys 'R' Us Inc., No. 29, has launched a social media campaign on Twitter and Facebook called Giveback with Toys 'R' Us, a "pay it forward" type of promotion that asks consumers to pay off the layaway balance for a fellow toy shopper. Each time the retailer learns about a balance paid, it will donate $200 worth of toys (the average value of a layaway order) to The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to give poor kids gifts to open on Christmas morning. The chain encourages shoppers to spread the word about the program by Liking and sharing Toys 'R' Us posts on Facebook about the promotion and by retweeting the retailer's marketing messages on Twitter.

Stoking Fears about an American Community

When John F. Kennedy was running for president in 1960, fear-mongers raised the specter of his dual loyalty. Would he really serve American interests or merely be a pawn for the Vatican? After all, he was a Catholic. Church doctrine, it was whispered, could co-opt the person designated to uphold America's...

McCOY POTTERY -- FLORALINE RIBBED PLANTER (SILVER)
for item
Very pretty McCoy Floraline planter! Large planter measures 15" long, 4 Ľ" wide, 3 ˝" tall and is silver with black accents on its in-mold ribbed design. Marked on bottom: Floraline, 498. Planter is in wonderful condition – no chips, no cracks! The interior has a few marks in the silver color that were probably caused by artificial flower stems, there is a 1/8" color flake-off on outside, and production non-color on bottom dry (setting) ring – none are detrimental to this very nice planter. Difficult to find item!

Getting A Cancer Diagnosis: First Steps
Getting a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. Suddenly, the simple routines of your life may feel like they've been thrown out the door and several uncertainties seem to lie ahead. However, know that you are not alone, and there are many resources and support systems to assist you in navigating through your disease.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle Throughout your Cancer Journey
Undergoing treatment is challenging but taking steps to ensure you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle can make a world of difference in how you get through your cancer journey. Whether it is adding 15 minutes of physical activity to your day or learning
how to make the most of your doctor appointments
, developing or continuing healthy habits will not only help you lessen the rigors of cancer treatment, but benefit you even after treatment is finished.
Cancer patients nationwide have expressed the need for more support in nutrition, exercise, emotional health, and medical management.
The Living Healthy with Cancer program brings together recommendations and tips in these areas to help you develop or maintain a healthy lifestyle during treatment.
Empower Yourself
The first critical step is to empower yourself. At Cancer Support Community, "empower yourself" is a phrase we use to describe the ongoing process of making a personal effort to become educated about your cancer diagnosis, your treatment, your health care team, and ways to improve your overall wellbeing. To become "empowered" means that you choose to adopt a series of actions, behaviors, and attitudes that can improve the quality of your life. It's not about making monumental changes but rather small incremental steps such as asking questions or self-educating to gain a sense of confidence and control as you move forward with your cancer treatment.
Your active participation in the choices you make with your health care team can make a big difference in your cancer experience and quality of life. Each individual is unique; each person's cancer is different. You are the expert in your cancer experience in relation to how you feel, what is important to you, and what you want. Work with your health team to tailor steps to healthy living with what best works for you.

Kim Kardashian Confronts Khloe Kardashian For Avoiding Adoption (VIDEO)
Last night's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians was a very intense one between both Khloe Kardashian and her older sister Kim Kardashian. We all know that Khloe hasn't had the best results from the fertility doctor, so Kim made a last-ditch effort to get Khloe to adopt.
When the clip from "More to the Story" starts, everything is normal. It's really cute that Kim wants her little sis to raise their babies together, but later in the video, it's clear that there is something holding Khloe back.
"There are some things that not everybody knows, and me and Lamar are the only two people that do need to know," Khloe said ominously.
We now know that there is a ton of drama going on about Lam Lam's alleged drug problem. There are reports that Khloe is "glad" she didn't have kids with Lamar, dodging the metaphorical bullet. While we would love to see KoKo's little one running around, we must say that we're glad that Khloe is holding off on the whole baby thing.
"What is so funny, you're like, really running from this," Kim asked. "When you're uncomfortable you laugh. You are obviously trying to avoid something."
Oh, if Kim only knew the whole situation back then…
What do you think about Khloe's baby situation? Do you think she should adopt now? Hit the comments and weigh in.

Madonna with DJ Enferno at Dolphin Stadium
While some people lament turntablism is a dying art, it has recently received a major boost via the nimble fingers of D.C.-based DJ Enferno. During summer and fall, the 2003 USA DMC champion has rocked crowds numbering into the tens of thousands across Europe and the States, hitting the front of arena stages and letting loose on the ones and twos. Okay, so it might not be pure battle artistry — Enferno (born Eric Jao) is Madonna's official DJ on her current Sticky & Sweet Tour.
Long famous (and infamous) for cherry-picking subcultures, Madonna has parted ways with her longtime tour spinner, the high-energy disco queen Tracy Young. In the aftermath is an increased musical synergy between DJ and diva. Rather than simply warm up the crowds or hit "play" on a backing track, Enferno has had a strong hand in tweaking the show's sound.
"It's like she's brought this responsibility out of me that I didn't know was even going to be on the table," Enferno says by phone on a recent morning. (The Sticky & Sweet Tour is, apparently, mostly about work and not too much about play.) "As far as what I do onstage, imagine taking a band that's got a guitar player, a keyboard player, and tracks coming off the computer, and everyone plays all together. When you add a DJ, you add elements of sound, and you affect sound in a way instrument players can't. Then there's all the things I've been involved in offstage."
Though Enferno might not be a household name to casual clubgoers, he was hardly plucked out of obscurity. Beginning as a club DJ in the early Nineties around his hometown of Springfield, Virginia, Enferno quickly came to dominate the domestic DJ battle circuit and soon picked up a national DMC win in New York in 2003. He would grab a runner-up prize at that year's world DMC championships and score another international championship in 2004 in Tunisia. But then his focus shifted from pure battling — although he still considers himself a founding member of the Trooperz DJ crew (which also includes Miami's DJ I-Dee).
Beyond a heavy schedule of international party-rocking, Enferno's next pet creative endeavor was his Live Remix Project. A tech-toy geek's dream come true, it's a part-rehearsed, part-off-the-cuff live DJ/production mixup in which old hits are injected with new club-bumping life by way of turntable, computer, and keyboard. Trainspotters eat up its impressively innovative tangle of wires and software; dance-floor denizens are moved by its democratic multigenre, all-fun groove. This is what hooked Kevin Antunes, Madonna's musical director, when he randomly caught one of Enferno's appearances at the club Blue Martini in Orlando.
"We never met that night," Enferno recalls. "But he got my number somehow and called me up and said, hey, something about Madonna and Justin Timberlake, and I was like, 'I can't hear!' Then he sent a text message, and the text message said, 'This is Kevin Antunes, musical director for Madonna and Justin Timberlake. I saw your show. Give me a call.' He told me to pick out one of my live remix project videos and he'd send that to her. I gave him a video link to send, she saw it, and that's what got me the gig."
Madonna wanted Enferno not only to lend some flavor or street cred, but also to help rebuild some key songs from the ground up. "Kevin and myself would be given some sort of direction. We would work on the arrangement, the remix," he says. "We would be going back and forth with ideas, and we would come up with the product, and we would present this at the next rehearsal. It ended up being that whatever we'd come to her with, inevitably, she would end up making it so much better than it was. It was very much a three-heads-are-better-than-two thing."
Onstage, Enferno gets a little of the spotlight as well. Although he spends most of the set more or less as a member of the band, at one point in the show, he is called down front and center. "I wouldn't say it's a solo, because how much of a solo could you possibly get being on tour with Madonna?" he says. "But I do have a featured part where I'm on the front of the stage throughout the whole song." And although he won't discuss details, there are plenty of fan videos all over YouTube; without spoiling too much, it's a technicolor pop-art segment heavily based on the elements of golden-age hip-hop.
Which is only one example of why Enferno doesn't believe his beloved musical form will go extinct in the near future — it's just evolving. "I've been able to take the same principles and the same technical skills," he says, "and mix that up with actual live instruments and create music onstage. That's my progression."

Trans Australia Airlines

Trans-Australia Airlines or TAA, (renamed Australian Airlines in 1986) was one of the two major Australian domestic airlines between its inception in 1946 and its sale to Qantas in September 1992. As a result of the 'COBRA' (or Common Branding) project, the entire airline was rebranded Qantas about a year later with tickets stating in small print 'Australian Airlines Limited trading as Qantas Airways Limited' until the adoption of a single Air Operator Certificate a few years later. At that point, the entire airline was officially renamed 'Qantas Airways Limited' continuing the name and livery of the parent company with the only change being the change of by-line from 'The Spirit of Australia' to 'The Australian Airline' under the window line with the existing 'Qantas' title appearing above.
During its period as TAA, the company played a major part in the development of the Australian domestic air transport industry. The establishment of TAA broke the domestic air transport monopoly of ANA (Australian National Airways) in the late 1940s, and taking over the Queensland air network from QANTAS. It was also at the time TAA supported the Flying Doctor Services of Australia by providing aircraft, pilots and engineers to ensure every emergency was answered quickly. Qantas had also been instrumental in the formation of the Flying Doctor Service.
The airline's headquarters were located in the City of Melbourne.[1][2] In 1954 TAA became the first airline outside Europe to introduce the Vickers Viscount 'propjet', and in 1981 it introduced the Airbus A300, the first wide-body aircraft to be purchased by an Australian domestic airline providing TAA with a clear edge over major competitor at the time, Ansett Airlines of Australia which had purchased instead, the Boeing 767-200, receiving the type approximately a year later. Ironically, although the A300s were initially painted in full Qantas livery, they were phased out within a few years being replaced by previously international operated Qantas 767-238ERs, 767-338ERs and later supplemented by 7 ex British Airways 767-336ERs.
Qantas revived the Australian Airlines brand between 2002 and 2006 to serve the low-cost leisure market of visitors to and from Australia but using a full-service model, operating selected Qantas 767-338ERs - although the livery used was not the same as that used by the previous domestic operation.

Up until World War II, Australia had been one of the world's leading centres of aviation. With its tiny population of about 7 million, Australia ranked sixth in the world for scheduled air mileage, had 16 airlines, was growing at twice the world average, and had produced a number of prominent aviation pioneers, including Lawrence Hargrave, Harry Hawker, Lawrence Wackett, the Reverend John Flynn, Sidney Cotton, Keith Virtue and Charles Kingsford Smith. Governments on both sides of politics, well aware of the immense stretches of uninhabitable desert that separated the small productive regions of Australia, regarded air transport as a matter of national importance (as did the governments of other geographically large nations, such as the Soviet Union and the United States). In the words of Director General of Civil Aviation AB Corbett,
A nation which refuses to use flying in its national life must necessarily today be a backward and defenceless nation.[3]
Air transport was encouraged both with direct subsidies and with mail contracts. Immediately before the start of the war, more than half of all airline passenger and freight miles were subsidised.
However, after 1939 and especially after Japan's invasion of the islands to the north in 1941, civil aviation was sacrificed to military needs. By the end of the war, there were only nine domestic airlines remaining, eight smaller regional concerns and Australian National Airways (ANA), a conglomerate owned by British and Australian shipping interests which had a virtual monopoly on the major trunk routes and received 85% of all government air transport subsidies.
The Chifley Government's view was summed up by Minister for Air, Arthur Drakeford: Where are the great pioneers of aviation? ..... We discover that one by one the small pioneer enterprises are disappearing from the register. It is the inevitable process of absorption by a monopoly. Air transport, the government believed, was primarily a public service, like hospitals, the railways or the post office. If there was to be a monopoly at all, then it should be one owned by the public and working in the public interest.
In August 1945, only two days after the end of World War II, the Australian parliament passed the Australian National Airways Bill, which set up the Australian National Airways Commission (ANAC) and charged it with the task of reconstructing the nation's air transport industry. In keeping with the Labor government's socialist leanings, the bill declared that the licenses of private operators would lapse for those routes that were adequately serviced by the national carrier. From this time on, it seemed, air transport in Australia would be a government monopoly. However, a legal challenge, backed by the Liberal opposition and business interests generally, was successful and in December 1945, the High Court ruled that the Commonwealth did not have the power to prevent the issue of airline licenses to private companies. The government could set up an airline if it wished, but it could not legislate a monopoly. Much of the press objected strongly to the setting up of a public airline network, seeing it as a form of socialisation by stealth.
With the bill suitably amended to remove the monopoly provisions, the Australian National Airways Commission came into existence in February 1946. The commissioners themselves were prominent high-achievers, including the director-general of civil aviation, the deputy director, a Labor party luminary and former member of the Commonwealth Bank board, the director-general of posts and telegraphs, and the assistant secretary of the Treasury. The Commission was to be chaired by Arthur Coles.
Coles was one of the richest men in Australia, and the co-founder of a retail empire; although this has been absorbed into the greater Wesfarmers group it still retains his family's name on a major part of its operations. By this time however, Coles had withdrawn from active management of the family business. He was 'a great believer in competition for business'[4] and would not have accepted the post of Chairman of the ANAC had the monopoly provision been retained.
The Commission decided on the name "Trans-Australia Airlines", applied to the Treasury for a preliminary advance of £10,000 and set about making plans, recruiting staff, and purchasing equipment. Reginald Ansett, proprietor of the small Victorian company Ansett Airways was quick to offer to get the new airline off to a flying start by selling his entire operation to the ANAC as a going concern, including (if desired) his own services as managing agent. The asking price, the Commission decided, was optimistic, and Ansett declined a more modest counter offer.
There was considerable correspondence between the Commission and Ivan Holyman, the Chairman of ANA, with a view to recruiting Holyman as General Manager of TAA at the princely salary of £10,000 pa, and, when that offer was declined, of buying the near-monopoly airline outright. Holyman was not willing to sell, nor to work for a government-owned body, but was interested in setting up a "composite company", the details of which proposal remained unclear.
Eventually the ANAC proceeded with the original plan, to build an airline from scratch. One of the first people hired was Lester Brain, then Operations Manager at Qantas. Brain had 22 years of pioneering aviation experience behind him and was regarded as the man behind Qantas' reputation for technical excellence. He applied for the advertised position of TAA Operations Manager, but to his surprise and delight, was instead offered an appointment as General Manager — though at £3,000 pa, not the £10,000 that had been offered to Holyman.
TAA acquired its first two aircraft in mid-June 1946, both Douglas DC-3s. A dozen more DC-3s would be added over the next few months, all ex-RAAF aircraft originally bought by the Australian Government under lend-lease. In July, the Treasury released £350,000 to allow TAA to order four larger, more modern DC-4s from Douglas in the United States, and Brain appointed Aubrey Koch (from Qantas) as Senior Pilot DC4 Skymaster and John Watkins as Chief Technical Officer. Watkins would become one of the key figures in TAA success. His first task was to travel to the USA to accept delivery of the DC-4s. He later wrote:
- To my utter astonishment Arthur Coles, after the expected pep-talk about the DC-4 assignment, said he was relying on me to find out what new equipment was being developed that would enable us to offer our passengers a better product than our established rival, at a competitive price.
It was typical of Coles, who knew nothing about aircraft, to reason that quality equipment would be vital, and then select the best man for the job of finding it and be prepared to back his judgement.
At this point, political considerations came to the fore again. TAA planned to start regular services on 7 October, but there was a federal election set for 28 September. Britain's wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill had been enormously popular during the darkest hours, but was voted out at the first post-war opportunity. There was no certainty that the Chifley Government would not be treated likewise, and the opposition was opposed to government ownership. Coles addressed the Commission at a meeting on 2 September 1946.
- Gentlemen, the Government wants us to start services as soon as possible. There is a Federal election on 28 September. If we don't have an airline up and running by then and Labor loses the election there'll be no airline. We'll be out of a job. Any suggestions?
After some discussion it was agreed that the airline was not ready. It had a name, some excellent pilots, and some aircraft, but no ground facilities, no sales staff, no documentation, not even tickets. With a great deal of effort, it should be possible to make the planned start date of 7 October. With the discussion complete, Coles said I have news for you. We start next Monday.
After a week of frantic effort hiring staff, borrowing a tin shed at the RAAF base at Laverton because Essendon Airport had been turned into mud by heavy rain, creating operations manuals, passenger manifests, tickets, and load sheets — even making passenger steps and baggage carts because there was no time to buy them in the ordinary way — Captains Hepburn and Nickels took off from Laverton at 5:45 am bound for Sydney. TAA's first scheduled flight carried a full load of VIPs and just one paying passenger.
Rapid expansion[edit]
The subsequent few years led to massive growth for the new airline. As post-war austerity gave way to a more affluent era, Australians were able to travel by air in ever increasing numbers.
Much of the growth in domestic aviation in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s was dominated by the rivalry between the privately owned Ansett-ANA and the government-supported TAA. A major factor in the success of the government airline was the wise choice of aircraft. After initially utilising the venerable and readily available Douglas DC-3, TAA was able to acquire the revolutionary pressurised Convair 240. Popular with the travelling public because of its ability to fly above much of the weather, it was really this aircraft that established the airline's reputation for excellence and service reliability.
East-coast services were continually expanded and TAA soon earned its title as a true 'trans Australian' airline with services to Perth on the west coast of the continent, using Douglas DC-4 aircraft. Vickers Viscount turboprop aircraft were introduced in the 1950s and again proved immensely popular as a result of their smooth, vibration-free ride.
Although government-owned, the Liberal conservative government of the 1950s had a philosophical leaning towards the needs of the privately owned Ansett airlines and the requirements of TAA suffered as a result. The controversial Two Airlines policy was introduced and effectively seriously limited growth and expansion opportunities for the airlines without government approval.
Flight numbers and schedules were strictly controlled, and TAA and Ansett-ANA invariably had flights departing airports for the same destination at exactly the same time with exactly the same equipment. The policy was so strict that even newly purchased identical aircraft (one from each airline) were required on their delivery flights to enter Australian airspace at exactly the same time.[citation needed]
The conservative government's benevolent attitude towards Ansett was epitomised in the 1950s when it forced TAA to swap a number of its popular turbo-prop Viscount aircraft with Ansett-ANA in return for slower and older, piston-engined Douglas DC-6Bs. In another instance, TAA had planned to re-equip with the revolutionary Sud Aviation Caravelle pure-jet but as Ansett felt this was too advanced at that stage for their own needs, both airlines were required to purchase the Ansett preference; the less advanced turbo-prop Lockheed L-188 Electra.
Nonetheless the Electra proved a reliable aircraft and TAA continuously grew and prospered. In the early 1960s it introduced the Boeing 727-100 and Douglas DC-9 as well as the Fokker F27 Friendship for regional routes.
By the late 1960s it had a massive network criss-crossing the continent, as well as an internal network within Papua New Guinea and flights from Darwin to Baucau in Portuguese Timor. At this time the airline's livery was the famous white T on a blue tail, and one of the more memorable television advertisements of the period was the jingle "Up, Up and away, with TAA, the Friendly Friendly Way". , whose lyrics and music were a variation on the 1967 song Up, Up and Away, written by Jimmy Webb and also used by the US airline TWA.
Further expansion occurred in the 1970s and larger 727-276s, (simultaneously with Ansett) were acquired. Once again the terms of the introduction were restricted by the two-airline policy.
The policy was marginally relaxed in the early 1980s when TAA was able to introduce the then huge Airbus A300B4, whilst Ansett chose to purchase the Boeing 767. The A300 was a revolutionary aircraft at the time for the domestic airline industry, in that it was a wide-body (twin aisle) aircraft and provided significant extra capacity on the trunk east coast network and to Perth. In 1986, Trans-Australia Airlines was rebranded as 'Australian Airlines' and marked the return of the kangaroo to the livery. It's new image coincided with a very successful and popular television campaign, "You Should See Us Now", "Face To Face" and "The Way We Do The Things We Do" became the carriers new theme songs.
In 1986, after a change of airline management, the name Trans-Australia Airlines was controversially dropped, in favour of Australian Airlines. Associated with this image change was a new livery for the airlines' aircraft, which wore the title Australian.
Australian Airlines was the travel sponsor for the television shows Neighbours, Wheel of Fortune and Sale Of The Century between Late 1987 and 1994.
Between 1980 to Qantas's acquisition selected teams participating in the Australian Touring Car Championship bore both Trans Australian Airlines (TAA) and Australian Airlines insignia, and from 1985 to 1990 the Seven Network Commentary team used the airline to travel between the states to attend the various racing venues..
By the end of the 1980s, the government began to deregulate the domestic aviation sector. Deregulation taking effect in October 1990.[5] A by-product of this impending change was the 1989 Australian pilots' strike. As the result of a prolonged wage-suppression, this saw the resignation of the majority of the airline's aircrew and the basic structure of the airline was changed forever.
The early 1990s were essentially the dying years for TAA/Australian. The Federal Government, although technically having deregulated the domestic aviation sector, made it effectively impossible for a new entrant Compass Airlines to succeed. In 1987, the Labor Government announced that the then government-owned domestic air terminals would be effectively privatised and leased to the two domestic airlines. Compass, a threat to the TAA/Ansett duopoly, was granted severely limited access to aircraft parking gates.
The ambitious new airline was allocated, by the government what were clearly the worst gates, in the least desirable sections of domestic terminals across the country (in some cases, Atco huts were used) and had to operate from the international terminal at Perth airport. As the result of liens placed over the Compass aircraft (due to alleged non-payment of airways expenses), the government's Civil Aviation Authority effectively caused the shutting down of Compass on 20 December 1991, 5 days before what would have been the immensely profitable Christmas travel period.[6] A seemingly well-orchestrated plan saw the Compass aircraft quickly flown out of the country and with them, potentially the demise of a truly deregulated domestic aviation sector.
Ansett and TAA/Australian were the sole remaining players, in effect a de facto two-airline policy yet again.
Acquisition by Qantas[edit]
Although Compass was controversially and perhaps inevitably forced out of business, Australian's days, and those of Ansett were numbered. The decision had been made at Federal Government level to merge the airline into the network of Qantas and subsequently offer the entire merged operation in a public float, returning 'Qantas' to the stock market after being absent from listing since 1947.
Qantas acquired Australian Airlines in September 1992,[7] in preparation for its closure on 30 April 1994.[8] Subsequent to the merger, TAA/Australian's Boeing Customer Number '76' was replaced by the Qantas Customer Number '38' for all subsequent Boeing aircraft deliveries commencing with the Boeing 737-838.
In October 2002, Qantas revived the Australian Airlines brand as a full-service carrier, targeting the low-cost leisure market and flying primarily out of Cairns and Bali. This airline was disbanded in 2006 and assets absorbed back into the Qantas group.[7]

Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On 8 August 1951 at around 9 p.m. local time, a Trans Australia Airlines Douglas C-47 Skytrain (registered VH-TAT) crashed into the sea shortly after take-off from Cambridge Aerodrome for a cargo flight to Melbourne, killing the two pilots. They had lost control of the aircraft due to a severe ice build-up.[19][20]
- On 31 October 1954, a Vickers Viscount (registered VH-TVA) crashed shortly after take-off from Mangalore Airport. Three of the eight crew members that had been on the training flight were killed.[21]
- On 10 June 1960, Flight 538 from Rockhampton to Mackay, Queensland, which was operated by a Fokker F27 Friendship registered VH-TFB, crashed into the sea while approaching Mackay Airport, killing the 25 passengers and four crew on board. It was the worst accident in the history of the airline.
- On 24 May 1961, a Douglas DC-4 registered VH-TAA was destroyed when it crashed on Bulwer Island whilst on approach to Brisbane Airport, killing the two pilots that had been on the cargo flight from Sydney. The captain had suffered a heart attack and collapsed onto the throttles, and the co-pilot had thus been unable to see large trees in front of him because he could not reach the switch for the landing light.[22]
- On 28 April 1970, a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter (registered VH-TGR) crashed shortly after take-off from an unpaved airflield near Kainantu, Papua New Guinea, killing the two pilots and six of the nine passengers on board.[23]
- On 29 January 1971, a Boeing 727 registered VH-TJA hit the tailfin of a Canadian Pacific Air Lines Douglas DC-8 (registered CF-CPQ) right after take-off from Sydney Airport as Flight 592 to Perth. The DC-8 had not yet cleared the runway following its arrival. The TAA 727 suffered a gash in its fuselage, but the pilots managed to safely return the aircraft to the airport, so that there were no injuries.[24]
- On 11 April 1972, a Douglas C-47 Skytrain (registered VH-PNB) that had been leased from Ansett Australia, overran the runway on landing at Madang Airport, ending up in the sea damaged beyond economic repair.[25]
- On 9 June 1982, a Fokker F27 Friendship was damaged beyond repair when it skidded off the runway upon landing at RAAF Base Amberley. The aircraft with three people on board had been on a training flight, which included a landing with one engine deliberately turned off, during which the pilot lost control.[26]
Criminal occurrences[edit]
- On 19 July 1960, Flight 408 from Sydney to Brisbane, operated by a Lockheed L-188 Electra registered VH-TLB, was the subject of an attempted hijacking. An armed man demanded the flight be diverted to Singapore, but he was overpowered by the crew.[27]
- On 8 June 1979, a hijacking attempt occurred on board a TAA McDonnell Douglas DC-9 during a flight from Coolangatta, Queensland to Brisbane. The pilots landed at Brisbane Airport, where the perpetrator was arrested.[28]
- On 21 September 1982, Trans Australia Airlines Flight Flight 454, operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 registered VH-TJS, was the subject of an attempted robbery of $600,000 of the Reserve Bank of Australia. The robbery involved four men consigning themselves as freight, intending to steal the money during two flights of the aircraft.
- On 13 February 1983, an Airbus A300 was hijacked en route a flight from Perth to Melbourne and the hijacker demanded to be flown to Adelaide. The pilots continued to Melbourne Airport, on taxi-in the hijacker, who was on the flight deck told the crew his bomb was on a timer - the aircraft was stopped and a full evacuation followed. The hijacker was subsequently arrested.[29]

CINCINNATI - Nine days between starts was too much for Francisco Liriano.
The left-hander lacked his usual control, resulting in his shortest outing of the season. Brandon Phillips drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double, and the Cincinnati Reds tightened the NL Central race by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3 on Friday night.
The third-place Reds moved to within three games of second-place Pittsburgh. The Pirates lead their season series 6-5.

The Reds sent nine batters to the plate for four runs in the fifth off Liriano (9-4), who had his shortest outing of the season. Chris Heisey's infield single drove in the first run, and Phillips' double off Justin Wilson made it 5-0.
"One of those days I didn't get any rhythm," Liriano said. "I tried to make good pitches and it didn't work out. Everything was up. I was rushing a little bit.
"I didn't get anything going. Just one of those days."
Heisey also had a solo homer off Liriano, who is 0-3 in three starts against Mike Leake and the Reds this season. In the last two games, he got little support from his offense. This time, his control deserted him. Liriano needed 98 pitches to go 4 1-3 innings.
"Nine days off the mound," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He was trying to get back into a rhythm. He threw more pitches than he wanted to. We were a pitch or two away from getting out of situations. We've gotten out of those situations before. We couldn't (Friday)."
Leake (9-4) gave up solo homers to Starling Marte, Andrew McCutchen and Russell Martin in the sixth inning. Manny Parra fanned Pedro Alvarez with runners on second and third to end the seventh.
Aroldis Chapman struck out two in the ninth while getting his 22nd save in 25 chances.
Leake has won his last three decisions against Pittsburgh, giving the Pirates a tough time all-around. The three homers represented a breakthrough.
"Too bad we weren't able to jump on him earlier than we did," McCutchen said.
The Ohio River rivals have produced the majors' most painful pairings this season. Nineteen batters have been hit by pitches - the Reds 10 times, the Pirates nine times - in their 11 games. Nobody was hit on Friday, a rare game that didn't leave a mark.
The Pirates emerged from the All-Star break with their best record in 37 years. Their 56 wins were their most at the break since the World Series champion Pirates of 1971 had 57 wins.
Pittsburgh's overriding question: Can it avoid another second-half meltdown and break a two-decade streak of losing?
The Reds are trying to duplicate what they did last season, when they went on a surge after the break and ran away to the NL Central title. First, they need to get healthy. Top starter Johnny Cueto, set-up men Sean Marshall and Jonathan Broxton, and cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick are still on the disabled list.
Heisey took over in left field when Ludwick got hurt, then pulled his right hamstring and missed nearly two months. His solo shot on Friday gave him three homers since his return.
Shin-Soo Choo singled during Cincinnati's four-run fifth, extending his hitting streak to 13 games, matching his career high.
Phillips' decisive double came a few hours after a magazine released an interview with the All-Star second baseman in which he said he's still "scarred" by the Reds' decision to give Joey Votto a 10-year, $225 million extension in 2012 while he was in tough negotiations for an extension of his own. Votto said he understood Phillips' opinion and appreciated his honesty.

I just saw a sweet "I AM A CYCLONE" billboard on Merle Hay Rd, across the street from the mall. It had several players standing there in the dark just like the poster. Any other billboard sightings around the area? Also, when I got home I saw the new football commercial on tv for the first time, then I went and watched it about 5 times on my computer, so now I'm super-pumped!
I will be in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area on Wednesday. I would love to see another "IT'S A CYCLONE STATE" billboard!
They probably won't put one up there until after September 13th.

Research news
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced on Wednesday (February 11) that Rita Colwell will be leaving her position as director of the NSF, effective February 21, 2004, and accepting a position at Canon US Life Sciences.
Colwell's term was set to expire in August. NSF spokesperson Leslie Fink said that only three previous NSF directors have stayed until their term expired, so it's "not unusual" for Colwell to be leaving at this time.
Debra Epstein, vice president of Corporate Communications for Canon USA, told us that Colwell will be serving as chairman of Canon US Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Canon USA. According to Epstein, Canon US Life Sciences was founded in December 2002 to "identify and develop life science solutions with potential applications in diagnostics and medical instrumentation." Its scientific advisory board includes John Coleman, Tom Shenk, and Craig Venter. Epstein declined to comment on how long negotiations with Colwell had been underway.
Since Colwell's appointment in August 1998, NSF's budget increased 68% and the average annual grant size grew from $90,000 to $142,000. Colwell also was responsible for increases in graduate student stipends, initiatives to support women and minorities in science and engineering, and programs to encourage science and math graduate students to participate in K-12 education.
President Bush announced that he would appoint Arden L. Bement, Jr., National Institute of Standards and Technology director since 2001, as acting NSF director. Bement served on the US National Science Board, NSF's governing board, from 1989 to 1995. He also has served as a professor of nuclear materials at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, director of the Office of Materials Science at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and chair of the Commission for Engineering and Technical Studies and the National Materials Advisory Board of the National Research Council.

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., May 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVNT) today announced that it has, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Savient Pharma Ireland Limited, delivered via courier to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the assigned co-rapporteurs, the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase) for the treatment of chronic gout in adult patients refractory to conventional therapy. Currently there are no EMA approved treatments for this condition available in the European Union.
Savient's MAA delivery was timed to meet the EMA's designated May 6, 2011 submission date. The MAA submission will be reviewed under the EMA centralized licensing procedure for member states of the European Union, and the application includes clinical and safety data from Savient's pivotal Phase 3 studies and the Open Label Extension program of KRYSTEXXA.
"We remain committed to advancing care for patients who suffer from this devastating disease and the MAA submission for KRYSTEXXA demonstrates an important step forward in addressing a significant unmet medical need that currently exists in Europe," stated John H. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Savient. "While KRYSTEXXA is currently available in the United States, this submission reflects our belief that KRYSTEXXA will have a very important role in the future management of refractory chronic gout globally."
KRYSTEXXA became commercially available in the U.S. by prescription on December 1, 2010, and is the only FDA approved product specifically indicated for the treatment of chronic gout in adult patients refractory to conventional therapy. Chronic gout that is refractory to conventional therapy occurs in patients who have failed to normalize serum uric acid and whose signs and symptoms are inadequately controlled with xanthine oxidase inhibitors, at the maximum m

St. Paul University Manila (also known as SPUM) is a private, previously a women's college and recently turned co-ed beginning school year 2005-2006 in Manila, Philippines. The college was established in 1912 by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC), a Congregation founded in Chartres, France in 1698.
1904 – On October 29, 1904, seven Sisters of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, France established its first foundation in the Philippines in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, Philippines. The Sisters, coming from their mission in Vietnam, responded to the invitation of the Most Reverend Frederick Rooker of the Diocese of Iloilo, to which Dumaguete then belonged. The seven Sisters were Mother Marthe de St. Paul, Superior, Sr. Marie Louise du Sacre Coeur, Sr. Ange Marie, Sr. Anne de la Croix, Sr. Charles de Genes, Sr. Catherine, and Sr. Josephine. St. Paul's College, Dumaguete was founded as St. Paul Academy, becoming the first St. Paul's College in the Philippines.
St. Paul Academy which was located near the Cathedral, accepted boys and girls and prepared them for their First Holy Communion. The Sisters were installed in the old Convent of the Augustinian Recollects that Bishop Rooker had offered. The Parish Priest transferred his residence somewhere else.
January 9, 1905, the new school opened with 30 girls (15 of whom were aged 15 to 20), four of them were boarders, and six boys. Children, women, and young men came to the school for religious instruction. Besides the regular academic courses, there were supplementary classes in music, drawing, painting, French, sewing, and embroidery. The medium of instruction was English. However, since the Americans had been in the Philippines only for five years, very few pupils were acquainted with the language. Hence, the Sisters were obliged to learn Visayan and Spanish to be able to communicate with their charges.

Current Issues
There seem to be a few issues specifically that are bugging the people who are bugged by these changes. I am going to take a moment to address them.
The front page changes:
These changes are being made because the front page is very wasteful of space and server load and because due to its size, it takes a long time to scroll up and down the page. The new front page puts EXACTLY the same functionality of the original index page into a much smaller and easier to navigate design. All the forums are still there. They are separated into the categories which are linked to by the tabs across the top of the index box. Click each table and that category's forums will open below it. By the time I am done, this tab bar will be on every page and will link you back to the proper tab display back on the index page. I am looking into both being able to give you a user option to decide what tab opens on the home page, by default. I am also looking into the feasibility of putting each user's subscribed forum list under its own tab, on the forum index. This would be the best possible way for each user to have the forums he regularly visits right at his fingertips.
Page width:
As I have said before, more than 96% of the people here use 1024X768 screen resolution or higher. I other words, very few people here are using 800 pixel-wide screen resolution and keeping the site's design limited to view properly in that resolution puts a real constraint on what I can do with page space. I have switched to a fixed-width format, based on 11024 pixel-wide screen resolution, which is the design standard used by most websites today.
Even so, when I am done with the site changes, I will create a lower-res theme that people using 800X600 resolution can use. It will happen by the end of next week, at the latest.
I may or may not added a fluid-width theme as well, based on the 1024 pixel model. I will let you guys know about this soon, one way or the other.
Banner Ads:
Folks, something has to pay the bills here. The paid memberships and occasional memberships, while helpful and much appreciated, are not coming close to doing it. Advertising is going to have to. Many people got themselves worked up about the launch of the banner system today. It is not in its final format, folks. It will get moved around, tweaked, considered and tweaked some more. Ads, in some form, are going to be a part of the landscape around here though, as they have been for more than nine years. I will keep the ads as unobtrusive as possible, but they need to be there. In the end, there will probably spots that will appear in different locations, or disappear entirely, for paid members. I will also soon be added a horizontal box of twenty 75X40 pixel static ad spots, similar to the ones at the top of AR15.com, though they will be packed into a tight horizontal group here. They will have a little format, but same rough shape as a current standard banner ad. They will appear in the area above and right of the main content area on each page and will be fixed throughout the site. We will be losing the navigation box above, that resides between the header and content area of each page. The functional contents of that box will be relocated elsewhere on the page. The two rows of links, for instance, will end up located above and below the header table above, in place of the black rows, with thew brown decorative weave on their left. With this change, we will gain quite a bit of vertical space,even with the addition of the static ads, which will move the primary content of each page up a bit.
You are only seeing a slice of the overall pie at a time, right now and that pie is still being constructed. You all need to keep that in mind. When you see the whole thing,I think each aspect of the changes will make a lot more sense, and the completed package will be functional, attractive and easy to navigate. I'll post more tomorrow.

Meteorology and Climate
The first stage of the largest and most ambitious tornado field experiment in history ran from May 10 to June 13, 2009, across the U.S. Great Plains. VORTEX2 (Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 2) involved a roving armada of more than 50 scientists and 40 research vehicles, which included 10 mobile radars. The collaborative project was designed to explore the origins, structure, and evolution of tornadoes by collecting data from portable instruments placed near or inside the violent storms. Understanding how tornadoes form is expected to aid the ongoing improvement of severe weather warnings.
The original VORTEX program operated in 1994–95 in the Great Plains and documented the entire life cycle of a tornado for the first time in history. Applications of the findings from this project contributed to improvements in National Weather Service severe weather warning statistics. VORTEX2 was a $11.9 million program funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), 10 universities, and three nonprofit organizations. NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) provided leadership and equipment for the program, which was scheduled to operate its second and final field phase from May 1 to June 15, 2010.
Scientists hoped to use the VORTEX2 program to study five tornadic storms in 2009, but the year was a historically quiet one, especially during May. Early June, however, saw a marked increase in severe weather, and VORTEX2 participants collected data on a significant tornado tracking across southeastern Wyoming on June 5. Researchers believed that this tornado became the best-documented tornado in history, with data collection beginning before the tornado developed and continuing through its lifetime. Mobile Doppler radars estimated winds of the EF2 tornado at about 210 km (130 mi) per hour. In addition to collecting data on the Wyoming tornado, the scientists investigated several supercell thunderstorms that did not spawn tornadoes. Collecting such data was important, because it could help researchers understand why tornadoes develop in some cases and not in others.
In other meteorological developments, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched NOAA's latest geostationary satellite of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) project. GOES-O blasted off on June 27. Renamed GOES-14, it reached its final position in orbit on July 8. Hovering about 36,000 km (22,300 mi) above Earth, GOES-14 carried enhanced instrumentation to capture high-definition images of severe weather patterns and atmospheric conditions. Such images could help meteorologists develop more accurate forecasts and warnings for hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and disruptive solar disturbances. GOES-14 joined GOES-13 to serve as a backup satellite until one of the operational satellites (GOES-11 and GOES-12) experiences trouble.
Launched in February, NOAA-19, a polar-orbiting satellite, was part of the Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) project. It orbits the planet at a height of about 870 km (540 mi), much lower than the GOES satellites. The POES project was designed to detect more subtle changes in atmospheric and oceanic conditions, and its satellites could be used for longer-range forecasts as well as research on climate change.
Regarding the impacts of climate change, on June 16 the White House released a landmark study on the effects of climate change on the United States. The 190-page report, entitled "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States," asserted that climatic changes resulting from the increase in heat-trapping greenhouse gases were already occurring. The report was commissioned in 2007 and was written by a team of 31 climate scientists from the U.S. Global Change Research Program; it outlined climate-related trends and projections for the country, as well as for specific regions.
The report stated that climatic changes already under way in the United States were forecast to increase. Some of the predicted effects of global warming included rising temperature and sea level, retreating glaciers, longer growing seasons, and earlier snowmelt. The report also affirmed that the effects of climate change would differ by region. For example, water stress from reduced mountain snowpack would continue to intensify, especially in the West and Alaska. Although agriculture was one of the sectors most adaptable to climate change, the report maintained that growing crops and raising livestock would become more difficult. Among other predictions, the report also anticipated that land along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Pacific Islands, and parts of Alaska would be at greater risk of sea-level rise and storm surge and that climatic changes would exacerbate other environmental problems and social stresses. Echoing other publications, the study noted that the pace of climate change would ultimately depend on levels of current and future greenhouse gases and particulates released into Earth's atmosphere. To solve this problem, many scientists called for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
From August 31 to September 4, the World Climate Conference-3 (WCC-3) brought more than 2,000 climate scientists and decision makers from more than 150 countries to Geneva to establish a Global Framework for Climate Services. The WCC-3 summary reported that the goal of the conference, which was convened by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and its partners, was to ensure that every country was equipped to access and apply the array of climate prediction and information services made possible by recent developments in climate science and technology. The conference concluded that such capabilities fell far short of meeting present and future needs, particularly in less-developed countries.
In November released e-mails hacked from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia raised questions about the possible manipulation of the temperature related to global warming. Researchers countered stating that the e-mails were taken out of context.
On December 19 the Copenhagen United Nations Climate Change Conference ended with a nonbinding agreement to cap an increase in average global temperatures to below 2 °C (3.6 °F) to avoid the worst effects of climate change. To achieve this goal, industrialized countries would commit to implement economy-wide emissions targets. Developed countries agreed to support a goal of mobilizing $100 billion annually by 2020 to address the needs of less-developed countries.

This compilation of articles, written on disparate themes and on different occasions, owes its publication to Rukun Advani. I have chosen only such articles for the collection as reflect somewhat my own position on what I would consider certain key areas in the study of early Indian history. They have been grouped into several sections to suggest what these areas are. In preparing the collection for publication I have not attempted to substantially revise the texts or update the references; alterations and additions in both have been keep to a minimum. My excuse is that I have not found adequate reasons to change my position on any of the issues discussed in the articles; my arguments remain the same today. On the other hand, if I were to write on the same issues now, I would perhaps attempt further studies and thus run the risk of not completing anything at all. The book is intended to suggest ways of looking at facets of early India, on the basis of material available from and on early India. Early India, admittedly, is an imprecise term, but search for a precise chronological definition is not the aim of this book.
I acknowledge with gratitude my debt to the publications in which many of the articles included here were originally published.
Back of the Book
This book comprises a set of essays on some of the key issues which continue to excite historians and scholars of early India.
It shows the profound impact of colonialism on the study of India's early past, the new methods and premises introduced into India by colonial studies, and the variety of departures from traditional, pre-colonial modes of history-writing. It goes on to fore: such as the integration of archaeology with narratives of early Indian history; of the trajectories of social change and social formation; of the historical position of ideology and its shifts; and of the ways of communicating knowledge of a past which is now increasingly under non-academic fundamentalist onslaughts.
With it diverse parts connected by strong threads of interest in the changing nature of history-writing on early India, this new book on the methodological changes that confront the historian o pre-colonial India will consolidate Professor
Chattopadhyaya's reputation as one of the foremost thinkers in his area of ancient and early medieval history.
Brajadulal Chattopadhyaya was educated at Calcutta and Cambridge. He retired as Professor of History, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. His books include Coins and Currency Systems in South India (1977), the Making of Early Medieval India (1994) and Representing the Others Sanskrit Sources and the Muslims (1998).

I have been reading and it looks like POFQ is the one resort that doesn't have many discount offers. We are booking a room in January for January 2014. We were planning to go to POFQ, but now I am concerned that the resort might not have a package discount for when we stay. Are we better off finding another resort to book and when a discount comes out we have the room already or should we stick to the plan and get a room at POFQ and see what happens? This will be our first trip to Disney. Looking for advice.
My rule of thumb is to book the resort that I want, and that I can afford without a discount. Then if a discount comes along that I can use, I will call and have it applied if possible. There are certain resorts that just don't have as many discounts applied to them. POFQ is one of them. Usually it's because they are popular and/or have a smaller number of rooms, so Disney has no problem filling them without a discount. After all, they're in it to make money, so they don't reduce the price on a room if they don't have to. If you want to reserve a room now for 2014 you can only make a room-only reservation- you would have to wait until later next year (when the new rates are announced) in order to reserve a vacation package (room plus tickets plus dining). You will be quoted the highest price for the room for this price year and would be required to pay one night immediately, with the balance due on arrival at the resort. When the 2014 prices come out, any change in the total amount due for your reservation would be altered at that time. You have to decide which is more important to you- a specific resort or a discount. If it's the resort, then book it now. If it's the discount, then you can wait and book whatever resort is available for that discount. But be aware that Disney seems to be changing things up with their discounts lately. There is no guarantee that a particular discount will come out for a particular time period any more.
We are staying at POFQ at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. 2013. We are using the stay/play/dine discount. They did offer a room only discount, but it was only 5% off.
I also got the stay/play/dine discount for POFQ. However when I booked the trip this past July for January 2013, that deal was not offered yet. I had to wait until October and call back and ask for any discounts.
It really is hard to know if there will be a discount. We are staying in December with free dining. There just might not be as many rooms available when the discount come out. Good luck.

200, I thought it was much larger as they lost 41 in the attack of the mech's. There also seems to be a lot of street traffic for only 200 both at Want Need and just sidewalk vendors. But I agree the economics of the world are hard to get a hold of. There doesn't seem to be enough transportation for a mine to do anything, no trucks or railway shown. Yet they drive around in cars and motorcycles as if they were powered by matter/anti-matter

i love this thread, this is what this forum is all about! someone asked a real question, and look, nothing but helpful knowledgeable answers, an entire page full in two hours.
It might be the weight, but i think it is a skill issue... (my example) from a dead stop,going after strapping in at the top of a cat track (no carves needed on a cat track so it takes skill level out of the equation) i will ALWAYS be at least 40 yards in front of my friend who is about the same skill level, on the same type of board, with usually the same amount of wax, but he is around 30 lbs lighter. There is just no way for him to catch me unless i slowed down on my own, and even then once we are at the same pace, i still always pull ahead. Once we actually hit the runs though it is pretty even, because we both are at the same skill level, are comfortable at the same speed and can achieve that speed the same. So i think you have to get better at either carving more on edge (leaving a pencil line in the snow) and not scraping so much, or just do half as many scrapes. Basically bomb more and get better at riding faster to make up for any of the little things holding you back, i.e wax, weight, board type. |

You can learn to pump a snowboard to go faster then just gravity will take you. It is hard though. Like this but on a snowboard. Beachside Longboard Pumping - YouTube

Someone said it before, riding 'quiet' and smooth can make you go faster too. Like in the flats, sometimes the last thing you want to do is make aggressive movements |

On a longboard, pumping works so well because of a few factors. When you throw your weight over the wheels, they compress. When you shift your weight off them, the board starts a turn, and the wheels uncompress making it accelerate. You also tend to have to move a lot of your weight to the front to get a good pump up hill (at least i do). Now i am not saying pumping on a snowboard doesn't work, i just don't see how it would. |

Pumping can help but it has to be at the right time, but OP you and me are in the exact same boat. I just learned to not connect as many turns to keep up and beat them at times...

Trip them before they get the chance to pass you.
You can only really pump when there is a sudden slope drop. It's like when you pump the landing of a jump the get more speed for the next jump. It sounds like to me though that you need to make less turns. DO NOT do this until you are ready and feel comfortable doing this though. I've fallen bombing a hill and got knocked out, lost memory of the biggest powder in Stowe resort history and my only boarding trip. Not worth it man. Once you get good enough to bomb then pumping can help. Just keep riding and getting comfortable going fast and you'll be killing everyone. I promise. |
