Twinking used to be fairly common prior to Wrath of the Lich King, and even so after. Level 1 twinking, both pre- and post-WotLK, is quite rare. Level 1 twinking requires using gear without a level requirement coupled with high level enchants. It is usually gear that is available from the very start of the game. While creating a level 1 twink is relatively easy, to become a true force to be reckoned with, it will cost a lot of gold and time.
With the exception of the new Heirloom items, all gear that can be obtained and equipped onto a level 1 character generally has NO stat bonus, as it is either Junk or Common gear. Although there is gear that can be applied to level 1 characters, it cannot be obtained as quests for such gear usually do have level requirements. However, Enchanting and other professions are what level 1 twinks are mainly based on.
Patch Changes
Patch 2.4.2
This patch introduced a big nerf to Goblin Rocket Boots, which had obtained a minimum Engineering level requirement of 225, which is unreachable until level 20.
Patch 2.4.3
This patch generally wiped out almost all level 1 twinks, specifically dodge twinks. Prior to this patch, twinks were able to stack dodge enchants and items to be completely unhittable, as the twinks would Dodge all attacks. This was possible due to the formula for dodge ratings being very generous to low levels since such formulas were level based. Blizzard nerfed this by changing the formula so that all characters under level 34 now gained dodge percentage at the same rate as level 34 characters.
Patch 3.0.3
During this patch the Wrath of the Lich King expansion went live and introduced the Bind to Account 'Heirloom' items, that scale with level and are very powerful for level 1 twinks. The items include shoulders, weapons and trinkets. There's also a [Wintergrasp Commendation], which makes the acquiring of the PvP trinket much easier.
Patch 3.1
Many major enchantment (the true source of a twinks power) were given level requirements making them unusable at level one. The head enchanting librams, the leg armor kits, and the old Naxxaramas and WotLK resilience shoulder enchants were the major nerfs. However, since these changes affect all lower levels, we will still see level 1 twinks practicing this existential WoW exercise (as Ratherbrute so eloquently stated in a wowinsider.com - it's now wow.com - interview). We will just no longer see them with 1300 health, 100+ spell power, or 105% crit ratings
Patch 3.2
The new patch introduces a feature to turn off all experience gains ingame - what a cool thing for twinks. Now with that option enabled there is no longer a need to avoid exploring, killing mobs or doing quests. There are some new heirloom chestpieces and weapons, too.
Patch 3.3
This patch allowed Rogues to Dual wield at level 1, giving a huge advantage to level 1 Rogue twinks. Warlocks can now also summon their imp at level one. Also you won't become dazed anymore at level 1 which helps to explore.
Patch 4.0.1
This patch dramatically changed Level 1 Twinks. For Rogues, Eviscerate and Stealth were removed, though Leather and cloth armor received a buff. Most all classes lost their support buffs. Warriors, for example, lost Battle Shout. All healing casters can no longer heal. Lifeblood was changed significantly. Level 10+ characters were buffed a lot due to the new talent system, making them much harder to defeat. Scrolls now count as either battle or guardian elixirs, limiting the amount of possible buffs on a level one. Another item that was taken out was the Stone Keeper's Shard, they were converted to gold/justice points at that time.
Patch 4.1
This patch nerfed most (probably all) the items that were of ilvl higher than 35 but usable at level 1. This is another major hindrance to twinks below level 35.
Patch 5.4
This patch made all enchants usable on all items regardless of the level requirement. All enchant now scale appropriately based on the characters level.
Why are they so powerful?
Level 1 twinks are potentially able to wipe out any character up to about 15 (buffed) and 25 (unbuffed) provided they are not twinked themselves. The reason for this is that stats are calculated differently at level 1. A level 1 with 12 crit rating gains 22% critical strike chance, as opposed to under 10% higher levels receive. A full agility build can get a good 75% crit chance and a good 85% dodge. A balanced build can get 50% Dodge, 50% crit, and a solid 15 DPS. Perhaps the only statistics NOT affected by level are Intellect and Stamina, and as such your health is probably the only thing that needs to be watched in battle.
How to get started?
So you're thinking about making your own level 1 twink or twinking your bank alt? No problem. First of all, you will need a lot of money and some help from friends (and one of them should be a warlock). Choose your class first. Of course, the obvious and most popular choice for a level 1 twink is a rogue but other classes (including casters) are also viable, though their survivability and power varies.
See Racial Traits For Alliance, Humans are popular because of Every Man for Himself, which gives you another trinket slot - you can wield two [Gurubashi Arena Master]! Shadowmeld and Gift of the Naaru are also popular. For Horde, Tauren get the powerful War Stomp for interrupting enemies, but Blood Elves can silence with Arcane Torrent.
One of the most important things for a level 1 twink is the experience bar. Since you only need 400 XP to ding to level 2, you have to be very careful because uncovering most parts of your map awards you with 45-55 XP. So be sure to get to the battlemasters and turn off XP gains as soon as possible.
Where to Duel
Since you are not going to spend the rest of your life in the city like a casual bank alt, you have to find a good place to duel low level players. For Alliance players, the best place is Goldshire and you can go there on foot from Stormwind City. Alternatively, you can go a bit further to Sentinel Hill in Westfall or Thelsamar in Loch Modan, since players in the 12-20 level range (your primary targets) are usually questing there. For Horde players, the choice is easier. The best place is without a doubt Crossroads. When you get to your destination, you can learn the flight path and later easily move between this place and your capital. Both factions can also twink in Ratchet, but the Alliance players should go there by boat from Booty Bay, so they can have a permanent way back to Stormwind City through a flight master.
Any gear that has no level requirement or is not a quest reward can be used (excluding the starting clothes, since they cannot be enchanted), but the most notable and the best in slot items are listed below. Remember that all the gear, aside from [Insignia of the Horde] (or Alliance), [Furbolg Medicine Pouch], [Red Defias Mask] and the Brewfest Hats, is non-soulbound or BoE, and thus can be found in the Auction House or traded between characters. This information is crucial, since if you accidentally ding with your twink, you will be able to send most of the equipment to another level one character, making him/her your new twink.

Below are enchants that will, at level 1, essentially make your twink what it is. Can be enchanted by Enchanters, unless otherwise stated. Since most items are below item level 35, they cannot have Burning Crusade enchants, and will have to settle for the best, and the more expensive, Pre-BC twink enchants. Remember that it's up to you which enchants to choose, however, a good mix of stamina and DPS/caster enchants is recommended.

Speed enchant
Useful for travelling or exploring.
- Boots: [Enchant Boots - Minor Speed] - gives 8% extra run speed.
Mount speed
Theoretically, a twink with a [Riding Turtle], the Guild Perk Mount Up and [Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill], [Mithril Spurs] could reach a speed bonus of 16%.
Learn your twink's strengths and weaknesses. You will have a limited number of abilities to use, so learn exactly when to heal, or when to attack.
Learn how to defeat different classes. If you are melee, mages and hunters will kite you. Paladins will heal themselves. Rogues will attempt to run away and stealth, wasting your cooldowns.
Pick your target. While three-shotting level 5 players is fun, it isn't impressive. Look out for higher level players (15-25) with bad gear or seemingly limited skills to pick on. Players with heirlooms are more challenging.
Find other level 1 twinks to duel: these can be challenging and fun.
Always be open and explain how you got titles / loot. Be patient to those who accuse you of hacking or cheating.
Professions and Skills
- Rogues cannot learn stealth, lockpicking, or poisons, and do not receive combo points.
- Priests cannot heal.
- At level one, you can not learn Engineering, Leatherworking, Enchanting, Tailoring, Blacksmithing, Alchemy, Jewelcrafting, Riding or Fishing.
- Mining: Easy to level. No need to run around and gather just send enough ore and smelt your way up to 150. Grants only 5 stamina (50hp), so may be useful for caster twinks.
- Skinning: Need to run around a bit. Watch out for other people's 'leftovers' especialy in the starting zones where most players havn't the skinning profession. Find dead mobs or follow a friend and skin. Master of Anatomy (rank 2) grants 6 critical strike rating which is 11% crit. This is easily combined with levelling Herbalism.
- Herbalism: Despite the changes to Lifeblood, it still gives some health and lots of haste rating to use in fights.
- First aid: Very important. Mail yourself cloth and level yourself to level 225, when you can use Heavy Runecloth Bandage. Remember that damage cancels the healing, so learn to use them wisely.
- Cooking: Unimportant. Going all the way up to 425 requires a lot of farming. You have to visit Dalaran to learn grandmaster cooking. You can't reach 450 because the Black Belly and the Great Feast receipe go grey at 425 and there aren't any non daily receipes that can take you further and you can't do dailies. You can learn to cook your own Savory Deviate Delight and make Basic Campfires.

Fun stuff
Below you'll find a list of items you can use at level 1 to amuse your enemies. These items can only improve the fun factor of playing your twink, since their effects are purely cosmetic (with the only exception being the [Disgusting Oozeling] pet, whose aura debuffs the player aside from changing his/her appearance). The WoW TCG Loot items can only be acquired from Landro Longshot in Booty Bay (discovering this area awards 55 XP) and the Blizzcon promotional items can only be acquired from Ransin Donner in Ironforge and Zas'Tysh in Orgrimmar.
- [Savory Deviate Delight] - Eat me. (cooked [Deviate Fish]; turns you into a pirate or a ninja for 60 minutes)
- [Carved Ogre Idol] - Become a hulking red ogre for 10 min! (TCG Loot item; you can fight in the ogre disguise for 10 minutes and then use it again, because it's cooldown is just 10 minutes long!)
- [Murloc Costume] - It's a murloc costume. (Blizzcon promotional item; this disguise breaks when you attack, get attacked, eat/drink or cast a spell)
- [Orb of the Blackwhelp] - Transforms you into a helpless Blackwhelp for 15 min. You cannot attack or cast spells while transformed. (it's hard to get this one, and since it only has three charges, it's not worth it)

- [Drums of Battle] (Leatherworker buff) - Adds 80 haste rating to anyone near the user. It should be noted that this should be used by a Leatherworker in the group right before the start of a duel, as it cannot be used during, and does not last very long.

- Thorns - Causes 3 Nature damage to attackers.
- Devotion Aura - Gives 160 additional armor.
- Blessing of Might - Increases attack power by 20.
- Power Word: Shield - Absorbs 44 damage.
NOTE: The reason that many high level buffs were not listed here, specifically player buffs, is because all player buffs are automatically downranked to a rank trainable at level 10 or lower when used against level 1 characters. One other thing to be noted is that buffs that do not last very long, such as Power Word: Shield and Drums of Battle, should be buffed only seconds before the start of a duel to maximize effect, as well as the fact that a player cannot be buffed by others during a duel.
Since Patch 3.3.0 players below level 10 cannot join a raid group. So while the format has changed, twinks are looking at more creative ways to down these 'raid bosses'.
All the following encounters are listed and detailed for twinks. Non-twinks are recommended to stay away from these encounters entirely.
Lizzarik (19)
Difficulty: Not very hard, if done properly (3/10) - 5-man.
Gear: Twink (6/10) - Requires most non-soulbound gear.
Lizzarik is a travelling businessman selling various green and white swords. Lizzarik patrols with his friend Jorb a lvl 37 ogre from Ratchet to The Crossroads and back again. Both Lizzarik's and Jorb's level might be varying from time to time. Lizzarik alone used to be a nice step up from the classic Gamon raids. The tricky part with Lizzarik is that his friend Jorb bodyguards him. This means that either you have to get rid of Jorb first or take both of them in one fight. After recent patches fighting both Jorb and Lizzarik attracts the lvl 40 guards nearby making them attack you. You cannot fight the guards back. This means that the safest thing to do is to fight Lizzarik while he is patrolling between Ratched and The Crossroads. This also adding another problem, hostile mobs. When fighting Lizzarik outside The Crossroads and Ratchet you have to be careful not to aggro any nearby mobs. Lizzarik yields no loot and no exp when killed.
- Lizzarik has 449 hp.
- If your raid starts a wipefest you can repair your armor if needed by talking to Lizzarik.
- Requires you to have the Ratchet reputation, talk to Lizzarik to achieve the faction.
- Should be fought outside Ratchet or The Crossroads to avoid guards being attracted.
- Jorb will attack you, if Lizzarik is attacked.
Hogger (11 Elite)
Difficulty: Easy (4/10) - 10-man
Gear: Twink (6/10) - Requires most non-soulbound gear.
Hogger has its own article. Please visit the page.
Shade of the Horseman (11)
Difficulty: Moderate (6/10) - 10-man
Gear: Twink (6/10) - Requires most non-soulbound gear.
Only available once per 15 minutes during Hallow's End. Lands after all fires are put out.
- Before landing, he may throw pumpkins at players, causing them to lose control of their character and lose 5% - 10% health every second for 5 seconds. You CANNOT trinket out of this!
- He has 2210 health.
- He will fight hand-to-hand after landing.
- He is hard due to his high health, but should be taken out shortly with 10 people.
Jorb (37)
Difficulty: Hard (7/10) - 25-man
Gear: Twink (7/10) - Requires all non-soulbound gear.
Fighting Jorb is quite similiar to fighting Lizzarik.
- Jorb has about 1536 hp.
- Jorb's friend Lizzarik will attack you when Jorb is attacked.
- Requires Gadgetzan "At War".
- The Gadgetzan faction can be entered by killing Lizzarik.
Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof (55)
Difficulty: Hard (8/10) - 25-man
Gear: Twink (8/10) - Requires all non-soulbound gear.
Blackhoof has no tricks or abilities, and is a rather simple encounter. You will lose 25 Cenarian Circle Rep.
- It is advisable to spread mages out and time casts so Blackhoof will take damage and switch aggro before dealing any damage.
- Remember to attack Blackhoof in the back for Melee damage to avoid being parried.
- Healers should be prepared to heal a lot during this encounter.
This encounter requires a level 1 attunement of a sort.
- Have a level 70 hunter with Misdirection in your group.
- Have the hunter cast Misdirection on you.
- Have the hunter aggro Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof and he will attack you.
- Once dead, have the hunter kill Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof.
This will add Cenarion Circle to your reputation list at 2975/3000 Unfriendly and allow you to set it at war.
Another way to add the Cenarion Circle to your reputation list is during the lunar festival. You only have to do Quest:The Lunar Festival quest and receive +5 reputation with the Cenarion Circle.
Cenarion Emissary Jademoon (55)
Difficulty: Hard (8/10) - 25-man
Gear: Twink (8/10) - Requires all non-soulbound gear.
This fight is more or less the same as fighting Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof. This is also an alternative for alliance to fight in stead of Cenarion Emissary Blackhoof
Doomguard (70)
Difficulty: Heroic (10/10) - 40-man
Gear: Epic (9/10) - Fully geared recommended. All non-soulbound gear, Voice Amplification Modulator and Insignia of the Horde highly recommended. Furbolg Medicine Pouch recommended as well.
A Doomguard is summoned by a Warlock, and automatically kills a random party member upon summoning. This is considered the hardest level 1 encounter. To set up the encounter, do the following:
Find a remote location to duel, suggestively between the Valley of Trials and Razor Hill, due to it being the quietest place, with almost no high level character interference.
Use self-buffs and self-buff items for a "real"-style raid encounter.
You should summon the encounter near the graveyard, but far enough to keep away from mobs and guards. This way you can quickly resurrect as soon as you go down to avoid a total wipe. With 10% durability loss per kill, you can have up to 9 deaths per encounter, with 1 try per hour due to the cooldown.
Have the Warlock in your group for a "real"-style raid encounter, where upon summoning a random party member will be killed.
- As the battle begins, keep your healers in the back away from aggro, as War Stomp (Doomguard) has a good chance of killing them if they are stacking full intellect and spell power.
- Remember to "split" tanking between everyone, with racials like "Berserking" and "Blood Fury" being used to switch aggro.
- Casters play a huge role in this fight. Not only do they attack ranged and keep aggro off with ease, but they can avoid attacks like Rain of Fire by standing far away.
- Your healers should be fully prepared to heal nonstop.
- Because of the Doomguard's insane damage, expect each member to go down in no more than 2 hits, usually 1.
- Voice Amplification Modulator is extremely useful in this battle if your trinket is on cooldown.
- If Rain of Fire (Doomguard) is cast, everyone must quickly move, or be killed, as it will deal 100 damage per second in a 30 yard radius.
- Cripple will effectively reduce DPS by 45%, and may cause major damage if Rain of Fire (Doomguard) is cast while under the effects of Cripple, specifically it's movement speed decrease. Because of this, it is advisably to use Racials or Insignia of the Horde to dispel Cripple.
- Be prepared to constantly move behind the Doomguard to avoid being parried. With a fully twinked team, the racials Blood Fury and Berserking will decide the "tank", and will allow up to 10 seconds of keeping aggro on one person, if being consistently healed by the healers, and allows more damage and more time to stay behind the Doomguard.
- It is a good idea to split the melee damage between the front of the Doomguard, and the back. When the Doomguard attacks the back, the ones in the front will attack the back and regain aggro, making sure the Doomguard constantly switches, taking more damage.
Back attack
Having twinks stand at either side of an enemy will cause the enemy to consistently switch targets between the twinks because any mob higher than level 1 has an extremely high chance to parry attacks coming from the front. This will enable constant attacks to the back which cannot be avoided.
- Discombobulator Ray
- Tricky Treat x5 (minimum)
- Hallow's End
- 40% movement speed increase over enemy.
GREAT kiting at level 1. Gives you GREAT distance over your opponent to pull off ranged attacks or to use your bandages that can heal up to 250 a second.
25% less stun duration
- 25% less Stun duration on all stuns.
This combination can be very nice at level 1, especially against other Rogues and Warlocks. It will take off up to 13.75 seconds off of Sap, and up to 5 seconds off of Fear.
Haste improvement
Possible haste enchants are:
- 20/52% haste to 2H weapon. Weapon Counerweight.
- 10/26% haste to Gloves. Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste.
- 10/26% haste to Head. Libram of Rapidity.
- 10/26% haste to Legs. Libram of Rapidity.
The possible temporary enchants are:
- up to 150/390% haste. Warchief's Blessing. ***
- up to 80/208% haste. Drums of Battle. ***
You can get a Grand total of 50/130% permanent haste and up to 230/598% temporary haste, with a grand total of up to 280/728% haste. This will effectively multiply your DPS by 7.28 and will keep it that for up to 30 seconds (duration of Drums of Battle), and up to 338% haste for up to 1 hour (duration of Warchief's Blessing). This will effectively multiply your DPS by 3.38.
- With the inclusion of patch 3.0.2, Drums of Battle and other buffs appear to have scaled to level, or a random value up to a maximum. If it is either one, level 1 twinks are nerfed pretty badly, and if it's the first, we're as good as nerfed to the ground against high level players.

Demand for business jets could be flying high once again, as the economy slowly recovers and emerging global markets enter the fray. Can interest remain aloft?
Dan Hubbard, senior vice president of communications for the National Business Aviation Association, says after weathering some turbulent times there are reasons to be hopeful.
"When the economy slides into a recession, business aviation is one of the first things to follow that in terms of sales dropping way off, hours dropping way off," he explains.
"So, predictably, if unfortunately, we have the greatest recession since the Great Depression, and we're tied closely to the economy, the whole industry is going to fall off precipitously, and it did."
While business might not be picking up full throttle just yet, Hubbard believes there is reason for "cautious optimism" based on three important industry markers.
A look at the first quarter data from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, GAMA, shows that while there was actually a decrease in the jet market, there was an increase in sales of piston airplanes, which are smaller aircraft, seating between one and six passengers, flying at lower altitudes and traveling relatively short distances of 300 to 400 miles.
"The reason that gives us cause for optimism is that an uptick in sales in piston airplanes typically is a sign of a broader recovery across the board for all types of airplanes," Hubbard notes.
A second positive sign, according to Hubbard, is an increase in flight hours, or hours that a company has an airplane in the air, which is up five to seven percent from this time last year.
"Now, that said, they had fallen off by about a total of 35 percent or so. It's been steadily coming back up, but we still have about fifteen percent or so to get back to the big peaks of 2007 and 2008."
Hubbard says the third useful metric that industry people look at is the used airplane fleet.
"Much like the housing market, if there's a glut of them out there, people don't view it as a good thing," Hubbard says. "That means that a lot of companies have gotten rid of the airplane and because there are so many of them, that'll drive prices down."
According to Hubbard, the 2009 and early 2010 used fleet was the largest ever, contributing to an unsettling picture overall.
"That fleet is now diminishing," Hubbard says. "It's down quite a bit, which is a good sign, but as that's happening, a lot of airplanes have sold at much lower values than they otherwise would have."
Time is Money
Hubbard reasons that one explanation for the increase in flight hours is that companies have not have lost sight of the value of a business jet.
"Using it optimizes time, efficiency and flexibility and what you're seeing is, for companies who already do own an airplane, they're putting it back into full use again," he says.
Doug Oliver, director of corporate communications at Cessna Aircraft Company, a leading designer and manufacturer of light and mid-size business jets, agrees with Hubbard.
"It might sound hokey but I've heard it referred to as a time machine," says Oliver. "It allows people to use their time more wisely because they're connected in flight. Security's better. You can do business on the airplane because you've got your top people with you."
Oliver also notes that everyone boarding the aircraft has been pre-screened, another big time saver.
"You basically go to the airport and get on and go," he says.
Because business jets are faster and offer direct travel, companies save on pricey add-ons such hotels and meals, as well as additional ground transportation.
Who's On Board?
Oliver says while most people envision the very rich jetting off to Monte Carlo, that client accounts for a very small percentage of users. He also points out that while the perception is that only CEOs fly business jets, more often it is technicians who are able to board a flight with the parts they need to fix something in a plant or factory more swiftly.
In addition to the stalled economy keeping business jets grounded, the industry took a lot of flak in late 2008 when executives from the top-three automakers arrived in Washington, D.C. on private jets to ask the government for public funding.
"There might have been a number of good reasons why they did that but whatever the case, they did not communicate any of them and so it led the congressmen holding that hearing to think 'well, then there must've been no good reason why you used the airplane,'" Hubbard explains. "And then I think in Washington a conventional wisdom took hold that said 'maybe there is never a good reason to use the airplane.'
"Most of the turbulence was related to the economy but it was made some amount worse, we don't know how much, with the perception fallout after that event," he said.
Back to Work
Because of the global recession, Cessna was forced to lay off half its workforce between January, 2009 and September, 2010.
"Three years ago there was a three-year wait on business jets," Oliver said. "There was huge demand from Eastern Europe—Russia, specifically. We couldn't build them fast enough. All of a sudden, one thing led to another and the economy was depressed. Fortunes vanished and people were walking from hundreds of thousands of dollars they'd put down."
Oliver notes, while there's still a little hesitation on the part of buyers, he's definitely seeing an uptick in interest.
"The December we had last year was phenomenal, especially when you compare the year over year," he says. "Demand from China and the Middle East has been very good. South America— Brazil—is our second biggest market outside the U.S. because of oil and exploration. The bottom line is business had been devastating, but, gradually, we're climbing back out."
Woody Harford, senior vice president and chief revenue officer for Citation Air, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cessna,which offers a range of business aviation services, says, "Broadly speaking, I'd say that we are feeling much more bullish about where we, as a company, are headed and broadly, the industry, and Cessna, as a leader in it."
The biggest indicator that business is moving in the right direction, according to Harford, is the fact that over the past 12 to 14 months Citation has offered employment contracts to all of the 85 pilots that were furloughed during the economic downturn.
Montreal-based Bombardier , began revving up for recovery in March thanks to a record order from Citation's competitor NetJets, the business-jet operator owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.
The plane and train maker received a firm order for 50 jets, with options to purchase an additional 70. The deal could be valued at as much as $6.7 billion if the options are converted to firm orders, making it the largest business aircraft sale for the world's third largest aircraft maker.
Heidi Fedak, senior manager for social media and external communications for Gulfstream Aerospace Corp, says the company, with more than 1,950 business jets worldwide, is seeing an increase in demand for their large-cabin aircraft.
Gulfstream projects delivering 90 "green" (those that have finished the initial phase of manufacturing and are moving into the final phase) large-cabin aircraft in 2011 up from 75 in 2010.
"We are also beginning to see renewed interest in our mid-cabin airplanes; this segment was more impacted in the recession and in the current economic environment," she says.
"About 70 percent of our sales recently have gone outside the U.S., so emerging global markets have certainly been a key factor in our continued success. Our large-cabin, long-range jets are especially well-suited to Asia because of their intercontinental range, high cruise altitudes—for more direct flying—and speeds."
"It's a mixed picture right now," says Hubbard. "There are signs that give us cautious optimism, but, like the broader economy, you don't see a consistent, full, robust recovery back to the levels of activity on a couple of fronts that we saw three or four years ago."
Industry insiders are hopeful that with more cash on company balance sheets and greater interest from global markets, business jets will prove to be time-saving, high-flying successes once again.
"That's ultimately what this business is about. It's about being able to do more things, more effectively in less time. If there's one currency everyone shares the same restraint on, it's time," says Harford.
While it might not be all blue skies for the business jet industry just yet, the horizon is looking a bit brighter.

Much has been made of Rick Santorum's recent comments about Obama's bad theology. The media has tried to turn it into Santorum questioning Obama's Christianity. This is odd since the media at the same time is attacking Santorum for his Christianity. Apparently Democrat brand Christianity is fine.
But this got me thinking, isn't Obama a theocrat? Obama definitely believes in the religion of Global Warming. How can we forget Obama's speech that generations from now people will look back and see his Presidency as the moment that the oceans would stop rising and the planet would begin to heal? And Obama has accomplished his religious purpose by stifling American energy production, funneling billions of dollars to "green" energy, and engineering a takeover of a large portion of the US auto industry. No where is federal ownership of private companies or green energy subsidies in the constitution. These are things that Obama has done under the loose legislative framework of the stimulus package and TARP.
What about Obama's belief in social justice? Obama's presidency is a prime example of liberation theology in action and the search for the religious concept of social justice. Obama has taken Christ's commands to give to the poor, help the afflicted and needy, and he has turned those things into federal responsibilities mandated by law. No longer must someone tithe or give in order to be charitable. Obama, like the Presidents before him, has turned the federal government into the largest charitable organization on the planet.
Obama invoked God when it came to his housing bill. He indicated that God wants the federal government to provide jobs to people. Obama unwittingly danced around a conservative idea of self-sufficiency while promoting his bill as God's will.
Unlike Bush, who used faith based organizations to defray costs of social programs, Obama has leveraged the government's relationship with faith based organizations to infiltrate them with his own social justice theology. Obama now holds these institutions hostage by threatening them with fines and forcing closures of charities who don't obey the radical liberal theology. The unholy infiltration of religious institutions by the religious left has led to things like closures of Catholic orphanages. This is all part of the Obama religion.
When it comes to taxes, Obama famously misquoted Jesus, saying that to those whom much is given, much will be required. Of course, Jesus may have had spiritual things in mind. But Obama's interpretation is that people who have a lot (because if you have wealth it must have been given to you) should pay more in taxes according to Scripture.
Early on in Obama's Presidency, CBS noted that Obama invoked Jesus Christ far more often than evangelical Christian President George W. Bush did. Obama invoked God several times in his prayer breakfast speech, crediting God for his inspiration on everything from Obamacare, which forces Christians to pay for abortion, to Dodd-Frank.
Obama is a global warming believing social justice Christian, and he has tailored his governmental policies around that. Included in Obama's religious view of social justice is a brand of social equality for women that demands that contraception and abortion be provided by employers, even if the employers are religious institutions. Access to abortion at no cost to the mother is a less advertised plank of mainstream liberation theology. Don't be fooled by his lack of explicit rhetoric on the issue, Obama's theology inspires his determination on providing free federal abortion more than it does any piece of Wall Street regulation.
So why are we scared of Rick Santorum? Don't be fooled into thinking that it is because Santorum is the theocrat. It is because Santorum is not a liberation theocrat. Santorum does not believe that the government should redefine marriage. Santorum does not believe that the federal government should provide equality of circumstances and end the perceived societal oppression of blacks and women. Santorum is much closer to the brand of Christianity that authored the first amendment, not Obama's brand that seeks to overturn it. He believes that baby murder should be illegal, not free and equally distributed.
Once upon a time, the GOP agreed with Santorum. Today we are too afraid of Obama's faithful followers and their witch hunts. GOP candidates are refusing to speak up for personal freedom, responsibility, and the lives of the unborn because they see Santorum burning at the stake. In fact, some establishment GOP'ers are standing along side the liberation faithful, tossing sticks on the fire to prove their own loyalty to the social liberal faith.
Make no mistake, 2012 is all about religion. Will we continue to have freedom of religion and self determination? Or will we all be forced to become worshipers of Obama's God, even more so than we are already.

In case you have not seen it, there is a new B+ add-on design by Gert, the designer of the Gertboard, GertDuino and many other excellent boards. The blog post about it is at:
The bad news is that it chews up the I2C, serial and SPI pins.
The good news is it should drive pretty much any VGA monitor.
I am hoping the HSync/VSync can be moved from the I2C pins.
In an extremely generous move, Gert released the files as freeware. See the github for details:
The timing is fortuitous, as I am in the process of ordering more RoboPi and other boards, so I plan to make about 10 VGA boards for my uses (I have 7 B+'s so far). I could easily have many more made, however I won't know the costs until I know how many I'll need to make.
I am based in Canada, and can ship fairly cheaply to the US and Canada in case anyone is interested, however shipping is too high to UK/EU for small orders. Fortunately it sounds like Gert may have a UK supplier lined up.
I normally have my boards made as ENIG, FR4, 1oz copper, blue solder mask (RoHS & Lead Free), e-tested.
I'd get the boards about 2-3 weeks after ordering them.
Basically, I am posting because I'd like to get some idea of how many boards I should have manufactured, as my costs for the PCB's varies significantly depending on the quantity I order.
