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, Bert Hinkler, 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 Douglas DC-3 at Brisbane Airport, early 1970s

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?
Skymaster VH-TAC "Nat Buchanan"

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]

TAA's first Lockheed Electra II four-engined turboprop airliner at Melbourne's Essendon Airport, January 1971

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. Its 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]

The damaged tail of a Canadian Pacific Air Lines Douglas DC-8, that was hit by a TAA Boeing 727 at Sydney Airport in 1971
  • 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]

In those old, old times, the count Bruno lived in a great castle near there with his son the count Hermann, a youth of twenty. Hermann had heard a great deal about the beautiful Lore, and had finally fallen very deeply in love with her without having yet seen her. So he used to wander to the neighborhood of the Lei, evenings, with his Zither and "Express his Longing in low Singing," as Garnham says. On one of these occasions, "suddenly there hovered around the top of the rock a brightness of unequaled clearness and color, which, in increasingly smaller circles thickened, was the enchanting figure of the beautiful Lore.

"An unintentional cry of Joy escaped the Youth, he let his Zither fall, and with extended arms he called out the name of the enigmatical Being, who seemed to stoop lovingly to him and beckon to him in a friendly manner; indeed, if his ear did not deceive him, she called his name with unutterable sweet Whispers, proper to love. Beside himself with delight the youth lost his Senses and sank senseless to the earth."

After that he was a changed person. He went dreaming about, thinking only of his fairy and caring for naught else in the world. "The old count saw with affliction this changement in his son," whose cause he could not divine, and tried to divert his mind into cheerful channels, but to no purpose.

Murter (Morter or Mortero in Italian) is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic sea, located in central Dalmatia. A small village on the north-western part of the island also bears the name.

The island is populated by around five thousand people, with two thousand of them living in the village of Murter.

The island lies in the northwest part of the Šibenik archipelago and is separated from the mainland by a 20 m wide sea canal at Tisno. The canal is spanned by a 37 m draw-bridge. The island covers an area of about 18.7 km², and the highest point is the peak of Raduč at 125 m above sea level.

The southwestern coastline is predominantly of steep slopes divided by many sandy coves. The island has an assortment of both sandy and rocky beaches.

Murter is the biggest and oldest settlement, the three other settlements on the island are Betina, Jezera and Tisno.

  • Murter was named in 1715 and carries the same name as the island. It offers hotels, homestays condominiums, marinas, nice quiet beaches, numerous restaurants and taverns. The township also has many sports facilities providing for tennis, basketball, five-a-side football and water sports. In the April the regatta Murter-Kornati helps start off the season. More traditional celebrations are St. Roko annually on 16 August and Nativity of the Virgin Mary on 8 September. The static population of around 2000 swells fourfold in the peak tourism season. The town has bank facilities, a health clinic, pharmacy, automobile repair shops, scuba diving shops, an open air cinema and marina facilities in Hramina bay.
  • Betina, on the northeastern side of the island near Murter, is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the Adriatic with notable architectural attractions. The historical central part of Betina is built on the eastern slopes of Cape Artić, at the northern opening to the Murter passage. In Zdrače bay there is a marina and shipyard and a local beach. Betina has nearly 100 small family-run shipyards with a tradition of strong hand-built and long-lasting traditional wooden boats.
  • Jezera is the smallest town on the island and spreads around the sheltered bay on the southeast side of the island. The town centre is on the north side of the bay. ACI marina at Jezera is situated on the south side of the bay. Jezera is a central Dalmatian fishing centre and the site of the holiday village "Lovišća", situated in Lovišća bay to the northwest of Jezera.
  • Tisno was established in 1832 near a bascule bridge near a narrow point in the channel separating the southeast side of the island from the mainland. The town has shops and a long quay. Tisno has become an important religious centre due to pilgrimages to Our Lady of Caravaggio, frequented by believers from Šibenik and Zadar.

The island has been populated for nearly two millennia. An Illyria (Ancient Roman) settlement known as Colentum has been found near Betina. Documents from In 1293 indicate that Murter was called "Villa Magna' meaning 'the big village'. During the 13th century there were two documented settlements on the island; Jezera and Veliko selo, Srimač (now Murter). Betina and Tisno were most likely built around the beginning of the 15th century, during the time of conflict with the Ottoman Empire. The population of the island increased during that time as refugees fled from the Turks.

Beaches, quality accommodation and supporting services make Murter an ideal tourist destination and accordingly the island has a history as a popular regional destination.

Flag of Dinan - Image by Arnaud Leroy, 17 November 2002

Presentation of Dinan

The town of Dinan (11,833 inhabitants), a sous-préfecture of the department of Côtes-d'Armor, is located on the edge of a plateau, 75 m above the river Rance.
There are two possible origins for the name of Dinan, both of them reflecting the geographical location of the city. Divonantos has been related to the Gaulish words divos (holy) and nantos (valley). The other possible origin relates Din-An to the Celtic word din or dun, the short form of dunus, originally a hill dedicated to a god, later an oppidum and eventually, latinized as dunum, a city on a hill. An could be the short form of the name of goddess Anna, the mother of all the Gaul gods and protector of the wet places.
Dinan was an important crossroad during the Roman times. The lords of Dinan were mentioned for the first time in the Xth century. A century later, the Arab geographer Idrish described Dinan as "a holy city with a stone wall".

Dinan was seized by William the Conqueror in 1065, as shown on the Bayeux Tapestry: following the rebellion of Conan, Count of Brittany and vassal of Normandy, William invaded Brittany with his (then) friend Harold. The Tapestry shows Conant presenting the keys of the city to William and Harold on the point of his lance. A modern interpretation of that campaign is that William took the pretext of Conan's revolt to show Harold how powerful he was.
Dinan became a Breton Ducal city in 1283. During the War of Succession of Brittany, Dinan chose the Blois party, and the city was besieged and seized by Count of Montfort, who built there a donjon.
The city was attacked several times by the English, to no avail. A famous episode involved Constable Bertrand Du Guesclin (1320-1380), who was born in the castle of La Mothe-Broon, near Dinan. In 1357, Duke of Lancaster besieged the city, which was defended by Du Guesclin and his brother Olivier. During a 40-day truce, Oliver was captured out of the city by Thomas of Canterbury, who required a ransom of 1,000 florins. Since Olivier had left the city during a truce and without arms, his capture was an act of perfidy. Bertrand Du Guesclin asked to solve the dispute in a single combat between Canterbury and himself, placed under Lancaster's presidency. Du Guesclin won and Canterbury was sentenced to pay 1,000 florins to Olivier and was banned from the English army. Du Guesclin met during that episode Tiphaine Raguenel and they married.
Du Guesclin died in Auvergne near Châteauneuf-de-Randon on 13 July 1380 and had required to be buried in Dinan. His body was embalmed, the entrails being buried in the church St. Laurent in Le Puy. However, the embalmed body deteriorated on the way back to Brittany. In Montferrand, the flesh was boiled and separated from the bones, and buried in the church of Cordeliers, which was eventually destroyed in 1793. In Le Mans, close to Brittany, a Royal officer ordered to transfer the body to the Royal necropole of Saint-Denis, near Paris, and kept the bones. The heart was spirited away and sent to Dinan, where it was buried in the church St. Sauveur.

During the XVth century, the city walls were strenghtened. The city was given municipal rights in 1418. The General States of Brittany gathered in Dinan 15 times from 1352 to 1718.
Weaving mills were built in Dinan in the XVIIIth century, but Dinan was mostly known for being the most pleasant and aristocratic garrison City in France.
The city walls and the XV-XVIth century old city have been preserved until now and Dinan is one of the most beautiful medieval cities in France.

Dinan is the birth city of Auguste Pavie (1847-1925), a diplomat and explorer who incorporated most of Indochina to France when he was Commissioner in Laos (1893-1895); Théodore Botrel (1868-1925), a chansonnier famous for La Paimpolaise and other patriotic songs; and Yvonne Jean-Haffen (1895-1993), a painter of Mathurin Méheut's school, were also born in Dinan.

Flag of Dinan

According to P. Rault (Les drapeaux bretons de 1188 à nos jours) [rau98], the flag of Dinan is a banner of the municipal arms, which are (GASO):
De gueules au château donjonné de trois tourelles d'or, maçonné de sable, au chef d'hermine.

The castle of Dinan was mentioned for the first time in 1040. The municipal arms are derived from a seal belonging to Charles of Dinan "Montafilant" (1370).

Western Conference Playoff Preview

Detroit vs Nashville:

Everyone thinks Detroit will run over Nashville, but Detroit has had problems in the playoffs in recent years.  Nashville also has been hot down the stretch.  I predict Detroit, but in 6.

San Jose vs Calgary:

Well you may think I made this choice because I am a homer, but I will give my rationale.  The Flames won the season series 3-1, with victories twice in San Jose.  San Jose has been hot since acquiring Campbell, but Campbell is not a solid playoff performer.  The same could be said about the Sharks as they have struggled in recent years.  Kipper also loves to play well against the team that gave up on him.  I say Calgary in 6.

Minnesota vs Colorado:

This is an even match up, but I think Colorado has been the better team when healthy, which they are(besides season ending injuries).  Minnesota will try and trap, but Sakic and Forsberg will be too much and Colorado will win in 6.

Anaheim vs Dallas:

This should be a great series.  Unless Turco stands on his head Anaheim will be too strong to overcome.  They have been hot since they got their two veterans back, and Gigeure is a great playoff goalie.  Anaheim wins in 6.

  1. Go Ducks! I agree with your predictions.

  2. Go Flames Go!

  3. I think we’ll see a better turn out this year for The Sharks and Stars than in previous playoff years. Also watch Nashville, I think they can give aging Detroit more than they can handle.

  4. Scrooge McDuck Says:

    Go Flames!?!?

    I’ve been going around trying to find good advice to make my fantasy hockey picks. Your article helps a lot. I agree with you 100% about Detroit!!

Winn proving his worth

It's not a secret that next year's offensive line is in great need for some new faces to step up and make a difference. One of those ready for the challenge is left tackle Marlon Winn.

"I had a chance last year to step in at any position and pick it up and learn it," said Winn. "I've had the chance to get lots of reps and lots of time in the film room. It's helped me a lot."

The sophomore lineman admits that strength and conditioning coach Bennie Wylie's off-season workouts undoubtedly contributed to his performance so far this spring, as well as the time he spent in the practice facility over the last few months on his own.

"[Wylie] had us out here at 5:30 in the morning and then I spent most of my day up here because he wants you to get in that extra work. And then of course if you want to be better, you want to do extra work and get extra film. So it's mainly everything you're doing to yourself and everything that you want to do."

The 6-foot-5 309-pound big man spent his off-season running through a lot of ropes and working on other foot drills as well, concentrating on his footwork, stronger punch off the line, and the ability to stay calm and not overreact.

    Cleaning up the stage

    saratogacoach Community Member

      I have a stage to which a complex animation is added, including one step in the process: addChild(bitmapxyz).

      At the end of this animation, I need to give the viewer the option of closing it, removing  the added items, in order to start and view other animations.

      Tried without success:

      Get an 1120 error.

      Not sure how to clean up the stage for this animation? Or maybe there's a way to create a child of the primary stage to hold the animation, then remove this stage.child? If this could work, can someone point me to how to add a child to a stage that then can hold what currently is being added to the stage?

      Any help appreciated.

        • 1. Re: Cleaning up the stage
          Rob Dillon MVP

          You can create an instance of Sprite that can then hold all of the child objects that you want to put on the stage.

          var stuffHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();

          Then, when you want to remove everything, you can just remove the sprite. This will remove everything that it contains.

          If you want to keep that Sprite around for some reason, then just move it off the visible area of the stage.

            Hi Rob,

            Thanks for this suggestion. Did some reading on it, so a good learning experience for me. And, a good thing to know about.

            I ended up sorting it out another way. But it is finally working OK.

            • 3. Re: Cleaning up the stage
              sinious MVP

              In the future you can assign an instance name to a clip and then access it like that. If you don't want to keep references around then this is an easy way to access it again.

              var someObj:MovieClip = new SomeLibraryObject(); // create a new instance of something in your library

              someObj.name = "myObject"; // assign that instance a name

              addChild(someObj); // add it to the display list

              You can now access that clip some time later using the getChildByName() method as long as you have access to the stage its on. For instance:

              removeChild( getChildByName("myObject") );

                saratogacoach Community Member

                Thank you for this explanation. I'm sure to find it useful as I continue to learn how to script in AS3.

                • 5. Re: Cleaning up the stage

                  http://gotoandlearn.com/ has a lot of good video tutorials on a range of subjects. Take a peek. The display list is something you'll probably work with the most in anything you do in Flash.

Marvel Heroes 2015 1.1 Patch Notes

GazillionLocation Avengers Infinite MansionPosts: 6,683 Staff
edited August 2014

Patch Overview

This week’s patch focuses on some new content related to Guardians of the Galaxy, along with some solid back-end changes to game optimization, some bug-fixing and a few quality of life UI improvements.

We hope you enjoy the patch, the weekend and Guardians of the Galaxy!

Weekend Event - Planet X Groot Bark Extended!

By popular demand, we’re extending our Planet X Bark event to celebrate this week’s release of the new Marvel film, Guardians of the Galaxy!

Collect Planet X Bark by completing each of the Shared Quests once per day and trade them in for exciting rewards such as the Mysterious Crimson Box!

Additionally, to celebrate, we’ll be live tuning server-side RIF, SIF and XP to 50%!

New Hero: Star-Lord

The Legendary Outlaw himself, Star-Lord, has arrived in Marvel Heroes! Peter Quill dual wields Kree submachine pistols, high tech grenades, orbital bombardments from his starship and also uses his trademark Element Gun to freeze, blast, and otherwise destroy his enemies.

Star-Lord is a hero with many options and many builds. The possibility of Fire, Earth, Air and Water will likely take a few days to optimize and get used to, but look and feel very unique. Straight up twin auto-pistols is also an incredibly fun option and a focus on “Ship” powers is something to consider.

New Team-Ups

To celebrate the awesomeness of the Guardians of the Galaxy team, we have 3 new Team Up Heroes available.

Otherwise known as “The Destroyer”, Drax wields his trademark knives with brutal effectiveness - laying waste to enemies big and small with tremendous power and brutality.

Gamora, or the “Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy”, can cut a swath through enemies near and far, using her broadsword and alien pistol to deal with any threat.

A member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and best friend to Rocket, Groot servers as a great option for heroes looking for a stalwart champion.

Rocket Raccoon players can choose between having the Groot team-up with them if their power-based Groot is not actively in play, or vice-versa. It’s basically a decision between getting the passive benefits of the Groot team-up and using the Groot power or getting the passive benefits of the Groot power and having the Groot team-up active.

Copy EXE to two difference paths

Copy EXE to two difference paths

Postby girishnehte » Wed Mar 07, 2012 5:50 am

I am using SQL Packager 6. I have created a project file (.sqlpkg). In thath file I have stated dotnet exe location as "<DotNetExeLocation value="C:\\Dbexe" />" and after execution the exe gets copied to the said location successfully.

Now another thing that I am looking for is to copy the exe to two different locations and if I can give relative path with respect to .sqlpkg file.

Please let me know how this can be done.

Hi Girish,

SQL Packager will only create one output, so you could make a batch file and after packager runs, you could put in a copy task to make another copy.

Using ILmerge with smartassembly

.NET obfuscator and automated error reporting

Using ILmerge with smartassembly

Postby alexm » Wed May 04, 2011 5:34 am

ILmerge fails to process assemblies obfuscated using smartassembly,

we are getting the following error:

ILMerge.Merge: ERROR!!: Duplicate type 'SmartAssembly.Attributes.PoweredByAttrib
ute' found in assembly '

Are there any workarounds for this?

Every assembly processed by SA is going to get the poweredby attribute and probably some other types added, so, no, you can't ILMerge them without hacking, reverse-engineering, and potentially breaking the SA protections.

You can use SmartAssembly to merge or embed instead.

Hello thanks for your reply,
is it possible for you to put this type under namespace based on Assembly name or something similar to make it unique and add this setting as option into configuration file.(Make result ILMerge compatible)
We definetly need {sa} to work with ILMerge because it's our customers' requirement.

May I ask why the customer requires ILMerge support?

There are several things that would break if we fixed ILMerge by putting the attribute in different assemblies; most notably, tamper protection, level 3 name obfuscation, ref dynamic proxies, and strings encoding.

ILMerging processed assemblies is not a scenario we have designed the tool to support, and it would be useful to know why exactly this is required so we can look at other solutions to the problem.

Have you tried just using the /allowDup switch for ilmerge?

Though I don't need ilmerge in my build chains, since SmartAssembly is a replacement for ilmerge for me, I may sell a customer a dll and they will use ilmerge on it.

So I'd hope using ilmerge /allowDup would take care of the issue, if not, I'd post a defect report to RedGate or tell the customer to use something besides ilmerge.
