Yes it did. Add the skills from the following two categories:
In Prophecies, the first GW1 game released, each class has between 72 (mesmer) and 79 (elementalist) skills. Then consider the fact that you have two professions per character and you have about 150 skills to mix and match with.
By the time they got to Nightfall, each of the core professions had about 140 skills, assassins and ritualists had 110, and paragon and dervish had 85. Not to mention the shared PvE skills and faction based skills.
Regarding the previous poster who said only a few builds were viable - yeah that's a lie, only a few builds were popular or overpowered at any one time. That isnt the same as viable.

Again just looking at the numbers of skills mean nothing.
Running an empty skill bar was also a viable way of finishing GW1 PvE.
Apparently loads of people like to gimp themselves.
Next people will post wammos with healing hands and mending...
It is very simple, in any game with limited party sizes if my build out perform yours I get the spot and you get the boot. So only the best builds are viable.

I'm talking elite hm PvE areas builds.
PvP after the first year or so was defined by what was nerfed or buffed by anet or not,
The smite boon nerf for pvp was hilarious - it could have read unusable in pvp and be more useful that what it actually was.
Shall we talk about the presence of Necromancers, Assassins, Ritualists, Paragons and Elementalists in GvG? Or better the residual usage of these professions aside specific time frames cause by skills imbalance?
Dual professions was one of the worst mistakes because it meant many skills were better used by professions with superior primary attributes
The way enery management skills kept being nerfed because monks could use it, the way monk smite skills had to be nerfed becused mesmers were using them, rangers abusing daggers, blood spike, mesmer spike, ranger with ritualist weapon spike, the time GvG became a farming NPCs game with VoD change, the turtle play paragons allowed at nightfall releasem etc, etc. Funny times, but hey 150 skills...
What other professions skills do you want to use for a warrior?
You wamt to use daggers? Or scythe (was viable before the derrvish revamp and in fact the warrior was better with it than the dervish making the dervish useless for a PvE elite area team). The only non warrior skill I can see a warrior use is the assassin dearh's charge on thr Manly Spike teams.
You guys just don't get what viable is in GW1 and GW2 context.
GW1 and GW2 isn't about failling or not, it is about how fast you can do it.
A build that takes 1 hour to finish something other takes 10 minutes isn't viable.
Additionally if a profession slows down the run speed, it isn't viable.
So, yeah, indeed a PvE warrior is around 12 skills + PvE only skills, and that is allowing for builds that use heroes.

GW1 didn't have the trinity.
It had healers (the best were the ones that prevented damage instead of red bars up) but it had no tanks.
Unfortunately it had Invicibuilds that Anet left on so PUGs could actually do stuff.
The most degenerate type of play with instant spikes that decimated a bazzillions mobs.

No, some people just didn't feel the need to be a sheep. Baaa, baaaa, baaaa.
Plenty of skill combinations worked well, not everyone had to rely on the current FOTM builds to get through the elite dungeons.
Not using typical builds in PvP made it easy to smash the FOTM sheep as well.
Originally posted by evilastro
The difference between my posts and yours is that actually I can detail skills, builds, build names, metagame periods.
Your posts on the other hand are filled with generalities, that might sound good but show no insight into the actual game - "not needing to be a sheep" or "loads of skills work just fine" generally ended up in people pinging builds with ressurection, healing breeze, troll unguent, final thrust, heal party or any non-UA rez with a Monk, Defy Pain, etc.
It is especially fun because the builds that are better at doing elite hm content have always been those focused in Invicibuilds+spike and that hasn't changed since ursan was nerfed.
Your typical PvE player was still using Searing Flames heroes when others were already running Sabs or Discord.
Then your typical PvE player was running Sabs or Discord, with their N/Rt healers when others were runnin E/Mo Ether renewal healers and finishing slavers and vloxen.
Of course full guild groups were running Shadow Form tanking (or Terra Tanking) with whatver spike.
But I bet you will post a few more generalities about sheep or fotm (as if anyone with all the professions at level 20 is concerned about fotm) instead of any shred of evidence you know more about builds (especially 8 or12 men teambuilds) than "there is loads of skills to choose from".
Also the story of GW1 GvG is filled with examples of FOTM builds winning - ever heard of rawr spike? They won a few months in a row using it and it couldn't be more fotm than that.
It would be interesting to read what builds you used to finish what dungeons/elite areas before the rit buffs.
Or even just post some PvE Warrior builds and see how far you can get from my skills selection in this thread or whatever profession you prefer.

I believe GW2 has very deep combat mechanics. The reason some disagree is that the game is so accessible and so easy to get into, people mistake that with shallow gameplay.
I have an 80 Engineer which offers more versatility, combo finishers, utility and varied playstyles than most other games have between two different classes.
I recently started playing a Guardian. Check this guide out https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/guardian/Guide-PVE-Guardian-101-A-Beginner-s-Text and tell me whether or not Guardian mechanics are shallow. BTW... copy and paste the guide and you will see it's 50+ pages and its only as to ONE class in GW2. Guess what, it's a BEGINNERS Guide! Talk about depth.
The amount of controversy and different opinions this thread has created clearly shows that it's a not a black and white issue of depth vs. shallow. The fact that there is a heated debate lends in favor of "depth."

The problem is the inflexibility of the so called hybrids. Healing, damage dealing, support and CC are NOT all on an equal footing, as a matter of fact DPS is clearly the king to such an extent a true hybrid is impossible. The average class is not even as flexible as a WOW Shaman and ALL of them have a DPS focus. Snowflake? How about SOME deviation at all. All classes have not only limited weapon options but those weapon skills are all for the most part DPS focussed. Then about 20 skills that are in 4 or so skill types that are bracketed off and your choices dwindle as you further speciallize down the traits.
You act as if everyone is not already spending the entire match match just dealing damage and you are right it certainly isnt the pinnacle of variation. Just because every class has a mandatory heal slot doesn't make them really hybrids, it feels more like a FPS with a med kit honestly. And the chain CCing and healing in WOW is frustrating however, thier idea of CC in GW2 is laughagle, and healing what a few hundred points a tic compared to how much DPS burst.
Tell you what you map the amount of DPS per second ANY class in GW2 can do and put it side by side to any other type of Control, healing, fear, etc that it can do and explain to me how that its balanced.

It's very deep. You sometimes press 1, and sometimes press 2. Unless you have 1 set on autoattack, then you just press 2.
No, seriously. It's okay, and fun for a while, but deep? Reminds me of the review that gave GW2 a social score of 8 or 9. The zeal is strong.
My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion.

We know who is good or not and the good people are the one that gets invited to most runs, but someone playing really good with bad gear and odd builds still gets priority over someone that plays badly with good gear.
Of course we also try to teach the ropes to players not as good, our guild is based on IRL friends. We did also try to help people with builds in GW1 but some people are rather stubborn.
If you are good enough you can more or less use any build and still do well, even if you sadly might miss many PUGs. But whenever I do PUG now in GW2 I dont really bother about the groups gear or builds because I frankly think peoples personality is more interesting. Stuff we havnt completed have been to rude idiots who dies more than everyone eklse, try to shift the blame and then disconnects without warning, and my experience is that they often have good gear and builds they copied of the net.
I can pull a bad group through almost all stuff in PvE (besides the fractal in the swamp, you need 3 good guys for that one minimum) as long as they are willing to listen to advice and arent quiters.I can not stop someon with disfunctional personality to make playing boring or someone to disconnect the first time they die.
And since guild Vs guild PvP isnt in yet, I only care about gear and specs in tournaments.
Of course since I play in a guild I help people getting good gear and help out with the speccs as way anyways, even if we do have a few stubborn players like the necro who must have all his minions equipped at the same time...

Since I was an active member I even know the new builds wiki is http://www.gwpvx.com/PvX_wiki and not the wikia.
Lastly you assume I'm talking about builds on the wiki that were widely used.
Anyone involved in the PvE aspect of GW1 knows the PvE is composed by PuG play, Hardcore Guild play, casual guild play, H/H (replaced by player+7 heroes).
I wasn't even very interested in PuG play or Hardcore Guild play due to the tank+spike aspect of it.

People making a case against GW2's combat based on PvE is pointless because the current PvE content doesn't push player skill or mechanics as high as other players can.

Pretty much all of what you wrote is false.
The vast majority of weapon skills perform multiple roles, including healing, protecting, crowd control, etc. You are rarely doing JUST DPS, much like you are rarely doing just healing or CC. Not only that but you also ignore the element of positioning and mobility inherent to many skills.
It isn't all dps... in organized team play team rezzes, stuns, and buffs/conditions are key
Again, most skills do dmg/heal, dmg/control, heal/support, etc. Damage is somewhat more prevalent and that is on purpose: the devs even said pre-release that offense was always going to break through defence eventually

Equipment + traits + weapon swapping + movement...there is a lot of subtle depth to combat. If you don't believe it, just watch good players vs bad ones.
Some games add a lot of noise to combat (e.g. multiple skills you never even use), but that isn't depth.

I'm gonna teach you how to make an origami flower, simple to make and with a beautiful result.
It might take some patience, since origami requires some pretty exact folds, but once you finally master it, I guarantee you that you will know how to make something thats a great gift, an uncommon talent, and a good little talent to show people.
This origami flower can help you master other origami forms, since its got some complex forms made through simple folding.
Hope you enjoy!
Step 1: What You'll Need
It doesn't need to be origami paper, the only thing that maters is that its square.
If you don't have a square piece of paper don't worry you can make one with
*A Piece of Printer Paper
*A Ruler
*A Pencil
Step 2: If You Don't Have Square Paper ...
- Take the printer paper
*Use a pencil to mark the line that was made between the triangle and the rectangle
*Using scissors, cut along the line
Voila there you have a square!
Step 3: First Fold
Fold the paper in half forming a rectangle.
Step 4: Fold Sideways
You should end up having a small square
Step 5: Fourth Fold
Take a flap and open up a half of the square.
Flatten the square into a triangle.
Again please Look at the Pictures
Step 7: First Actual Fold
Take one flap and flatten it.
Try to align the creases, that way the flower will come out symmetrical
Step 8: Crease
Then unfold them to make a crease.
Note: Crease means to mark the shape
Oh, and this piece is commonly referred to as an "Iris". I didn't really read the whole thing through, so I'm not sure if you went over that already. . .
Thanks again!
Start folding it from the pointy side at the top down words, makes it easyer
Unfold step 8
Tip to tip
Flatten the sides so they meet in the middle (Will look like picture 4)
"God dammit."
Sorry, I know my english is not very cool. :D

File this one under "WHOOPS!": While on the
red orange carpet for The Lorax premiere in Los Angeles over the weekend, former Disney star turned wannabe bad boy Zac Efron found himself in a precarious and highly embarrassing situation on the red carpet. As he posed for photographers, he caught a glance of someone familiar — his publicist, maybe? — and reached into his pocket to hand her something. As he pulled his hand from the pocket of his jeans, something that looked a lot like a condom fell from his pocket. Efron's cat-like quickness allowed him to snatch the errant jimmy hat from the carpet before any photographers were able to get the moment captured on film, but our friends over at The Superficial just stumbled on some videotape of the incident and Efron's sheepish reaction:
WHOOPS, indeed! Well, at least we know that Zac Efron is practicing safe sex. However, what we DON'T know is WHO he was planning on having sex with in a bathroom stall of Universal Studios while hundreds of elementary school aged children watched his new 3D movie. So, TheFABLife has put together the following list of suspects in gallery form, along with our guesstimated odds of who Zac was hitting it (and then quitting it) with.
Was it intended for: Jenny Slate? Ed Helms? Danny Devito AND Rhea Perlman? Taylor Swift? Betty White? OR PERHAPS THE LORAX HIMSELF?
Who do YOU think Zac was going to show his Trojans to?

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Choosing future Navy and Marine leaders as his audience, President Barack Obama issued a pointed call Friday for an end to sexual assaults in the military, appealing to graduating midshipmen to display honor and moral courage to contain what has become a growing epidemic.
Obama spoke at the commissioning ceremony for 1,047 midshipmen, telling the 841 men and 206 women that the wrongdoing of a few can damage the nation's institutions, from government to Wall Street, and that "even in our military we've seen how the misconduct of some can have effects that ripple far and wide"
"Those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they are threatening the trust and discipline that make out military strong," he said.
The issue of sexual assault in the armed services has captured the attention of Washington, prompting Obama last week to meet with top military brass and Pentagon leaders at the White House, instructing them to lead a process to root out the problem.
A Pentagon report released earlier this month estimated that up to 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year. It said thousands of victims are still unwilling to come forward despite stronger efforts to curb the crimes.
The report showed the number of sexual assaults actually reported by members of the military rose 6 percent to 3,374 in 2012. But a survey of personnel who were not required to reveal their identities showed the number of service members actually assaulted could be as high as 26,000. That figure is an increase over the 19,000 estimated assaults in 2011.

Since its release in July 2006, "Little Miss Sunshine" has been the sleeper hit that other summer art-house films aspire to be. Opening in just seven theaters during its first weekend, the nutty family road trip comedy went on to rake in nearly $60 million domestically and win two Oscars. Not bad for a film with a reported $8 million budget, written and directed by first-timers.
Every year since, filmgoers and critics try to predict what the next "Little Miss Sunshine" will be.
"The Kings of Summer" could be this season's sleeper hit. The movie follows a trio of high-schoolers who grow so fed up with their overbearing parents they decide to run away from home and live in the woods.
In a movie season better known for superhero blockbusters backed by unfathomable dollars, will this small film make a big splash?
"It's sort of up to the fates," says Megan Mullally, the veteran comic actress who plays the blathering mother of one of the boys. "If I was asked, I'd say, 'Oh my God, "Kings of Summer" is going to do great; it's going to shatter box-office records, everyone is going to see it, everyone is going to love it,' because I think it's great. But then you never know at the end of the day."
Looking at the surprise cinematic winners of summers past -- such films as "Napoleon Dynamite," "The Kids Are All Right" and "Stand By Me" --
certain shared elements emerge. Critical praise is less important than a few other factors, including a summertime essence and a lot of laughs.
Here are the key ingredients for a summer sleeper and why "Kings" looks to be this year's indie darling. But it isn't the only movie that could surprise; we've identified several other candidates opening in the next few months.
• Element 1: Capture that ethereal summertime feel
Recent examples: "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012), which takes place at a scouts' camp on a remote island; "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" (2012), in which British senior citizens travel to India.
Sleeper hits can land any time of year, but the ones that strike it big between May and September generally are marked by a nostalgic ambience. There's a carefree sense of escape, though it's impossible to shake the inevitability of autumn.
"The Kings of Summer" captures what it's like being a teen after the school year ends, with both the feeling of freedom and imprisonment. Sure, there are afternoons of video games and late-night parties, but there's also yardwork to be done and family Monopoly nights to endure. The movie's idyllic setting, once the teens go AWOL, is full of trees for climbing and quarries for cliff-jumping.
"The parts of Ohio around Cleveland that we shot were so beautiful, that they sort of reminded me of my fantasies of youth," said Nick Offerman, who plays the no-nonsense father of Joe, one of the teenagers. "This is what I wished it had looked like."
The film's woodsy montages, featuring the boys splashing in the water, racing through fields and making music by banging on pipes, were captured when director Jordan Vogt-Roberts took the three teenage actors, Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso and Moises Arias, into the forest and let them do what boys do.
"This film is kind of like an ode to my childhood," Robinson, 18, said. "It was just nice to go back and be a kid and mess around in the woods. It brought me back."
Another 2013 sleeper: "The Way, Way Back" follows a disgruntled teenager (Liam James) on summer break. His escape comes when he befriends a water park employee (Sam Rockwell) who offers him a job. Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who co-wrote "The Descendants" with Alexander Payne, penned the script, and "Little Miss Sunshine" alums Steve Carell and Toni Collette are among the film's stars. (Opens July 5)
• Element 2: Mix a dash of drama with a lot of levity
Recent example: "(500) Days of Summer" (2009), which could have been a tragedy about heartbreak if it weren't for a song-and-dance number and other amusing interludes.
Maybe it's the long hours of daylight or impending vacations, but summer months somehow become linked with our optimistic pursuit of happiness. The movie releases generally follow suit. A dark drama with political overtones can wait until later in the year, when Oscar chatter starts heating up. Summer sleeper hits carefully balance solemnity with laughter.
There is drama in Chris Galletta's script for "The Kings of Summer," especially when it comes to the combative interactions between Robinson's character and his single father, played by Offerman.
"I haven't had the chance to play a lot of emotional roles where I get to have a relationship evolve over an arc over the course of a film," Offerman said.
Audiences may recognize the universal difficulties of navigating that agonizing period known as adolescence. And yet for all the film's calamities, including unrequited love and broken friendships, there's a sense of grand possibility.
"I can remember that feeling of unlimited potential and that excitement of: What is the world going to bring to me? And what am I going to bring to the world?" Mullally said.
While pre-adulthood can prove painful, it's also ripe for jokes, especially the parent-child interactions. Basso's character ends up with hives because of constant nagging from his mother, played by Mullally.
"Why do I need to micromanage what shirt he's wearing?" she said. "And yet it's so true."
Adds Basso: "Rarely do I laugh reading a comedy script, but this one was unique."
Another 2013 sleeper: Actress Lake Bell makes her writing and directing debut with "In a World …," a film that also mines familial relations for laughs. Bell plays a voice coach who can never live up to her father, the king of movie trailer voiceovers. (Opens Aug. 9)
• Element 3: Fill the cast with scene-stealers
Recent example: "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006), in which each of the character actors (including Collette, Carell, Paul Dano, Greg Kinnear and Alan Arkin) contributed memorable scenes of humor and pathos.
Summer sleeper hits might be devoid of the highest-paid stars, but they are often elevated by an ensemble of actors that seem optimally cast.
"Kings" draws from a pool of television stars and character actors, including the hilarious real-life husband-and-wife team of Offerman, whose character Ron Swanson from "Parks and Recreation" has his own cult following, and Mullally.
"Community" star Alison Brie and Basso, from "The Big C," play larger roles, and there is also a long list of indelible cameos. Mary Lynn Rajskub ("24") plays a bumbling police officer trying (but not too hard) to find the boys and Kumail Nanjiani ("Franklin & Bash") plays a Chinese food deliveryman whose "American name is Gary."
"I think (the cameos) kind of send the movie into a different stratosphere," Mullally said. "You have that level of comedy combined so seamlessly with the sort of lyrical quality of other parts of the movie."
Adds Offerman: "Every single person we had to work with was the funniest person I'd ever met, and that was such a smart move on (Vogt-Roberts') part."
Another 2013 potential sleeper: "The Spectacular Now" stars up-and-comers Miles Teller, who was a stand-out in the otherwise forgettable "21 & Over," and Shailene Woodley (who wowed in "The Descendants") as two high school seniors that run with different crowds and strike up an unlikely friendship. The pair won an acting award when the film premiered at Sundance. (Opens Aug. 9)
• Element 4: Pinpoint the next big thing
Recent example: "Beasts of the Southern Wild" (2012), which introduced writer-director Benh Zeitlin and young actress Quvenzhane Wallis, both of whom were nominated for Oscars.
Stumbling upon a small but wonderful movie or a promising actor before the buzz starts building feels like an exciting discovery, and one people feel the need to share, which might explain the wildfire word-of-mouth factor when a sleeper hit connects.
"The Kings of Summer" has its fair share of newcomers. It's the first feature for both writer Galletta and director Vogt-Roberts, and the young stars likely will be new faces for most audience members.
Arias, a child actor best known for a recurring role in "Hannah Montana," proves to be an especially worthwhile revelation. Playing the kooky misfit Biaggio, the 19-year-old's deadpan delivery of preposterous non sequiturs even elicited a laugh from the famously stone-faced Offerman.
Another 2013 potential sleeper: "Much Ado About Nothing" is Joss Whedon's black-and-white adaptation of the Shakespeare play. Shot in just 12 days at the director's L.A. home, the film reunites many of Whedon's usual collaborators (Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion, Alexis Denisof) plus one promising newcomer: Jillian Morgese plays Hero, which is quite a get for the young actress whose only other credit is as an extra in "The Avengers." (Opens June 21)

Big 12 Honors Lawrence
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University freshman Jaida Lawrence was named the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Week today.
The Rocky Hill, Conn., native closed the 2013 regular season just as she opened it, winning the conference's top rookie honor. This is her second career award - she earned her first on Jan. 15 - and the sixth weekly honor for a Mountaineer gymnast this season.
Lawrence is coming off her sixth vault victory of the season, as she matched her career high with a 9.9 score and tied for the win against Maryland and Rutgers on March 15. She is riding a three-week win streak and has hit for a career best four times this season.
Ranked No. 34 nationally, and No. 3 in the Big 12, with a 9.89 regional qualifying score (RQS), Lawrence has not scored below 9.85 on the apparatus since Jan. 15. She has scored 9.875 or better in each meet since Jan. 25.
In addition to her vault win, Lawrence opened the Mountaineers' bars lineup for the first time in her career and scored 9.725, her best mark since Feb. 24, and finished tied for seventh place.
Oklahoma's Taylor Spears was named Big 12 Gymnast of the Week for a record-tying sixth time, while Sooner Lauren Alexander won Big 12 Event Specialist of the Week honors.
The No. 25-ranked Mountaineers (13-7, 1-1 Big 12) tallied 196.05 in wins over Maryland (194.8) and Rutgers (194.175) on March 15. Senior Alaska Richardson tied Lawrence for the vault victory and also tied for the floor win with a 9.9. Junior Hope Sloanhoffer finished first overall for the second time this season with a 39.25 score; she also earned a season-best 9.875 on beam and tied for the win. Junior Erica Smith paced the Mountaineers on bars with a third place, 9.775 showing.
WVU opens the postseason at its first Big 12 Conference Championship this Saturday, March 23, at Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum, in Ames, Iowa. The meet, set for a 3 p.m. EST start, will be televised by FOX Sports Net on a date to be determined.

As president of the American Civil Liberties Union, Professor Susan Herman is often called upon to express her opinions on some of the most potent and controversial issues in the land, and her recent appearance at Miami Law was no exception.
A second-year Miami Law student, Errick Benson Peart, has won a paid summer internship with the law firm Becker & Poliakoff, as well as $5,000 to help pay for his last year in law school. The award is being made under the firm's Diversity Fellowship program, established in 2011 to offer law students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to demonstrate their own commitment to diversity in the legal profession.
Being fully prepared for the Bar exam is one of the fundamental requirements of a career in law. As part of that imperative, Miami Law's Academic Achievement Program is launching Bar Week, a series of events from March 1 to March 7 that will cover everything from what students need to do between now and taking the Bar and how to remain focused, healthy, and positive.
In a series of simulated disputes, a team comprised of second-year Miami Law students Ryan Appel and Mitchell Retelny came in fourth place, out of 40 teams from around the country, in the 6th Annual National Baseball Arbitration Competition at Tulane University in New Orleans.
A juror tweeting about his time in jury duty; an attorney posting an embarrassing photo of a client on Facebook; a judge disqualified because he and a prosecutor were Facebook "friends"; the fact that texts are replacing phone calls and personal interactions – all were topics of discussion at a panel of the Rosemary Barkett Appellate American Inn of Court at Miami Law last week.
The Florida Center for Investigative Reporting and the University of Miami School of Communication have announced a new partnership to train students to produce in-depth news reports, investigative stories and other news content. The partnership includes an internship program for journalism students in the School of Communication's Department of Journalism and Media Management and collaborations with students from the University of Miami School of Law, whose casework could lead to stories that expose injustice.
Each year, an individual is rewarded for his or her commitment to the organization's mission of protecting and healing children, and building and strengthening families. This year, Miami Law's Karen Throckmorton is the recipient of the Children's Home Society's Woman of Valor award. Throckmorton, a Lecturer in Law and the Director of the Miami STREET LAW program, has spent more than 15 years as a volunteer, a longtime Miami-Dade board member, and a past chair of the board.
Most days at around 7 a.m., the Miami Law campus is deserted. But on a Wednesday morning earlier this month, about 40 students could be seen on the Bricks, occasionally glancing at their watches. They were waiting for the Law Library's glass doors to swing open to admit them for a breakfast with six prominent South Florida judges.
Pamela Adewoyin, a second-year law student at Miami Law, has been enjoying some good news lately. To begin with, she has been honored with the National Black Law Students Association's Outstanding Student Leader Scholarship. The award is given annually to recognize an NBLSA member who has excelled academically, in addition to being active in his or her BLSA chapter and community.
A team from Miami Law emerged as a regional winner in the American Bar Association's National Appellate Advocacy Competition in Las Vegas this past weekend, part of a qualifying round of a national contest that will conclude in April. The Miami Law team is composed of students Jordan Redavid, Andrea Solano and Jessica Marroquin.
Visiting Professor Lesley Rosenthal, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York, is teaching a one-week course at Miami Law titled "The Role of In-House Counsel at a Nonprofit," from Feb. 18-23.
Miami Law's Center for Ethics and Public Service has chosen Florida Supreme Court Justice R. Fred Lewis to receive the 11th annual William M. Hoeveler Award. The prestigious prize celebrates ethics, leadership and public service in the legal profession.
Professor Catharine A. MacKinnon of the University of Michigan, renowned for her teaching and activism on sexual-equality issues, delivered the keynote address at a conference at the University of Miami titled "Human Trafficking: Demand, Legislation, and Prosecutions."
Miami Law mourns the passing of Martin Nash, J.D. '61. He was a partner in the firm Nash Axman Watkin PLC in Coral Gables, where he specialized in tax law. With more than 50 years of experience in the law, Nash was an expert in various aspects of income and estate tax planning.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion, the UM School of Law brought a key figure in the women's rights movement to speak to students and other community members Tuesday night at the Storer Auditorium.
Some years ago, during a visit to his native California, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy was approached in a restaurant by a lawyer from Ukiah who recognized him as a member of the Supreme Court.
Sarah Weddington, who successfully argued the landmark Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Course case in 1973, spoke on Tuesday evening, February 12th at the University of Miami Storer Auditorium on the Coral Gables campus. Weddington's lecture was titled "Some Leaders are Born Women!"
This year's University of Miami Law Review Symposium will be on "Social Media & the Law" on February 15th and 16th at the Storer Auditorium. The symposium will approach this expansive subject through four panels examining four discrete issues. Context and perspective will be provided by two dynamic keynote speakers, LawWithoutWalls' founders, Miami Law Associate Professor Michele DeStefano and Michael Bossone, Special Advisor to Dean Patricia D. White, and a second-day address by John Browning, Dallas attorney and author of the first social media textbook, "The Lawyer's Guide to Social Networking."
Miami Law students observed the judicial process in action as Judges Richard J. Suarez, Ivan F. Fernandez and Thomas Logue of the Third District Court of Appeal heard oral arguments in several real-life cases Friday at the Storer Auditorium on UM's Coral Gables campus.
The University of Miami's School of Law unveiled its newest joint degree, a J.D./Ph.D in Environmental Science and Policy, last week. Following Stanford University and the University of Colorado, UM is the third school in the nation to offer a doctoral degree in environmental science and policy alongside the juris doctor degree.
The nation's leading conference for estate planners, trust officers, accountants, insurance advisors and wealth management professionals, organized every year by Miami Law's Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning, attracted a record number of registered attendees – more than 2,800 – in its latest annual outing.
Over the last few decades, a salient feature of the United States Supreme Court has been its shifts in emphasis between decisions that displayed judicial activism and those that tended toward judicial restraint. That was the starting point for a lecture at Miami Law this week by Professor Geoffrey Stone, a leading constitutional scholar and the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor at University of Chicago Law School.
Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy visited Miami Law on February 11, and took part in the Robert B. Cole Distinguished Jurist Lecture Series. He also taught a class. Justice Kennedy's day began early at Miami Law, where he was greeted by Dean Patricia D. White before he addressed students in a Constitutional Law class.

Not this time. We're actually canceling our 4th of July BBQ with them and we're deleting and not talking to my family anymore. We already don't talk to my dad's side so why not add my mom's too. My cousins, my uncle and all of the family ganged up against me and my sister so my mom said we're cleaning out our family from our lives both on FB and in real life. This has been going on since I was born and they have hated both my sister and I for as long as I can remember. I'm not going to pretend anymore.
Plus, I guess my bf's mom decided I wasn't mature enough to deserve an apology so she sent a private message on fb to MY MOM and my BOYFRIEND calling my mom by her last name and saying she felt that deleting me from FB was the best because it would save me from being mad at her again for posting something. Mom replied saying "Uh you do realize that A) I have a first name CLEARLY posted on my profile. B) Stephanie has been trying to get u to like her for over a yr and a half now and she is done. By deleting her you have proven to her, our family as well as your son that you don't care and it's a losing battle. We are fully aware how little you care for Stephanie and that's your right to delete her but don't think by deleting my daughter that you are making anything better. You just made everyone a whole lot worse.
So yeah looks like my children won't have much of a family to see. My dad's side is non existant and have been all my life, my family is being cut off and my bf's family all hate me and mostly his mom will never get to see her grandchildren because what mother wants to have her kids around something like that. She's depressing and weird.

Not that this is going to help, but it's one thing I live by:
I have a pretty sucky family myself. One side is always fighting with the other, and I don't even know why! I just keep to myself and don't get involved. These kinds of spats are the worst. You'll weather it and you'll be better for it.

RE: Rants.
Lately I've been starting to feel like I don't want to go back to my local college.
I feel like I'm a bother or something. I wasn't so bad, when I was on my first Animal Care course.
I actually felt like I was getting better then, as I was able to stay awake from 9:30AM to 4:30PM every day. But since I had to leave the Level 2 course, I feel like I've annoyed/have been annoying them, because I haven't been able to get it, even though they said I hadn't and that they'd much rather have me on the course, and kick off those who barely come in.
I've found another college that teaches the course I was on, but it's about 30 minutes away from me, and I don't think I'd be able to go there everyday. I mean, what if I needed to go home in the middle of the day? I wouldn't have to wait 5 minutes to be picked up, I'd have to wait 30 minutes.
I find it so awkward when in class though, because I don't talk to anyone. I don't know how to talk to people my own age because I haven't been around those my own age since I was 12. I'm 18 now, and I know I'm rather mature for my age. I actually can't deal with teens. (I know I'm one myself... I meant the ones who think it's "cool" to get really drunk most weekends)
I don't know. /:
Still trying to figure out of I want to work with animals still though. I've been away from the ones I was with when I was on the first course for so long, I just don't feel like I can go back. I had it all set out. After Level 1, I was going to do Level 2, and I didn't have to pay for it, because I'm under 19. Then I was going to enrol onto Level 3. I still wouldn't have had to pay for it, because I wouldn't have been 19 until2 months later. That's all messed up now. ): I'm 19 in November, and the Level 2 course I was on has finished. I could have had a Level 2 qualification by now.
There's one person in the world I feel like I need to talk to about this, but I can't. I have no way of talking to him. (And even if I found a way, I couldn't bother him about it. I'd rather he be where he told me he'd be if I ever needed to talk to him.)
Oh, and it's horrible knowing you no longer exist to your now ex best "friends". Seriously. To them, it's like I was never born.

RE: Rants.
So I've got a rant and I'm pretty P.Oed right how honestly.
In the past few days I've had to witness 2 of my fb friends saying they are engaged. One of them I am worried about because I fear she might be a little young (18) but I still wish her the best after all she's been through.
The other I am pretty mad about. It's not either of these girl's faults but I've got my nose out of joint. Here I was the ONE with the boyfriend. The ONE in college with my life figured out or at least the direction for my life. THE ONE who had it all and I loved it. Then the rest of my friends started dating and I thought it was nice but still didn't think a lot of it figuring I'd be engaged or something long before them. Haha yeah right.
At least 50% of my dang FB is a bunch of pregnant girls/mothers. They range in all kinds. Some are married, some are engaged, some are single and some just slept around and found a baby in the mix. Doesn't matter, half of my FB list is pregnant mothers.
and a good 1/3 of my friends are engaged/married girls under 25. I wanted to be before all of these girls because A) I want my wedding and my time when I get pregnant to mean something. It WILL take away from my time if I'm lumped into this group. B) Like I said, it will make others frown upon me and I know it will because I'm going to be stereotyped as some 21 yr old wanting to get married and have no future.
I just wanted to be unique and instead now all of my lame friends are getting married/having kids. So now even if tomorrow Michael asked me to marry him, it would be downcast by having to be "14 of the 5 billion" girls getting married within the next year. At this rate I want to wait til I'm good and old so that I can be unique.
Just real mad right now. Mad at myself for caring and upset because I was supposed to get engaged on this past New Yrs. I now know it was good we didn't but I still was supposed to but Michael wasn't ready and didn't have the money to do it. He's 26 and I'm 21 WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST!

Yes I wouldn't mind being engaged as I know he's the one I wanna be with and most of the people I know are mums. I don't think there's much point in being jealous or mad or anything you'll have the future when you're both ready for it.

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 8 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by VeronicaC Awkward print This sweater bodycon is so pretty in theory, bu the print accentuates your hips, so if you don't want a bunch of attention on your hips, this might not be the dress for you! 10.14.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JacquiB Gorgeous This dress is so beautiful in person, and is great for winter. However, I had to return it due to size. I am 5'9 and ordered it in a M at first, but it is too big. The part that is supposed to be at the natural waist (the black triangles) falls down to an unflattering position on me. I would love to exchange it for a small, but there are never any available. 1.17.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mbwh Amazing Dress I got this dress for Christmas this year and I absolutely love it! Yes, it is a bit big in the shoulder area, like the other reviews say, but this smoothed out for me after one wear. The print isn't busy at all, and is actually really flattering on your body's natural curves. Definitely one of my favorites. 1.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dandy721 Beautiful This dress is such a stunner! I'm 5'7 115 lbs i got the small and it fits like a glove. great thick fabric and construction is great. if you dont like to show much leg, this dress isnt for you because it does go up about mid thigh. The print is what really makes this dress. 12.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bnw0619 Awesome Winter Dress! I ordered an XS, I'm 5'4" and 127 lbs. It fits perfectly! I'm a thinner boyish build, and this dress helped give me a more shapely look! As the other reviewers stated, the armpits are slightly baggy, but not in a noticable way. The material is warm for winterwear and it's such a beautiful pattern and color combo. This dress is awesome and I'd buy it a hundred times over! 11.30.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KristinaMTGypsy One of a Kind I love clothes with this sort of pattern - I saw a picture of this dress and felt like it was designed for me! Bought it for my birthday. It fits a little bit baggy in the armpits, but has a beautiful pattern that is flattering, even for a curvier figure due to the inward-pointing triangles that accentuate and flatter a small waste and curvy hips. I am about 5'5 and 135lbs with an hourglass figure. The material is a little thicker, which is nice for going out in the winter. It is a little longer and looser than expected. Looks super cute with black or maroon tights and black round-toe suede wedges! 11.22.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by freakumdress love the print i first ordered the small, thinking it was going to be super tight + short, but it ended up almost to my knees (im 5'5 & 115 lbs), the part that was decision making factor in me exchanging it for an xs was the armpit area was kind of stretched out/baggy. the extra small fit mostly perfect (still slight issue with the upper inside arm), & the elbow area of the sleeves are easily stretched out from 1 days wear (bc of bending your arms at the elbows thruout the day). I am still going to keep it tho bc the print is hot and perfect for winter. ill load a pic of the arms when i get a chance. 10.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by alexismoe great and quirky my favorite part about this dress is how strange it is-- the print is unique and i constantly get compliments on it. its very fall and wintery and amazing. stretchy and perfect fitting-- although not for bloated days. 10.22.2012
