Not as Good as the Original......
9 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2832827 From North Carolina on Nov 26, 2012

Alter Eco made a huge mistake by changing the Dark Blackout bar by adding vanilla and by making it thinner than the original version. The vanilla detracts from the full bodied flavor of the original version, and the new version bar is much thinner at 2.82 ounces vs the original bar at 3.5 ounces. The new thinner bar lacks the nice feeling of sinking into the chocolate that the thicker original bar had at 3.5 ounces. Alter Eco needs to bring back the original formula and thickness. In the mean time, the new version is better than the other 85% or higher organic chocolate currently available
My favourite 85% Dark Chocolate Bar

This is the best 85% dark chocolate bar I have ever tried. Ideal for those looking to indulge in low sugar organic chocolate, but not wishing to be overwhelmed by too dark a flavour note. As a nutritionist, I love the fact that Alter Eco sweetens their chocolate bars with whole, unrefined cane sugar.
Rich, Dark Chocolate; For the Connoisseur

I purchased this product because I enjoy very dark chocolate bars (80% or more cocoa content). I really like these bars. The taste is strong with subtle notes of vanilla. I can also tell that this chocolate is sourced from different cocoa trees than mass produced chocolates as there is quite a bit more complexity in the taste. A little bit of chocolate goes a long way. I also appreciate that the company, Alter Eco, seems committed to purchasing from smaller cocoa plantations. That said, this chocolate is not for everyone. If you enjoy a very sweet tasting chocolate like Dove Bars or milk chocolate, this bar will probably be much too bitter for you. However, if you like extreme dark chocolates with high cocoa content as I do, I think this is one of the best! I will purchase often.
this is the best chocolate EVER

it's got no extra additives, no emulsifiers, it's so chocolatey-tasting and it disappears so quickly once I reveal I have a bar of this. We've repeatedly ordered this bar many times. Thank you Alter Eco for a fantastic product!!!

Just perfect amount of sweetener and darkness. Most dark chocolates are still quite sweet or either too bitter. I never liked chocolate until I came across Alter Eco Dark Blackout and Alter Eco Dark Velvet.

Blissey's enormous base 255 HP and large base 135 Special Defense stats just scream special wall; in fact, there is no better special wall in the game. While Blissey has both Softboiled and Wish + Protect, Snorlax lacks an instant recovery move, and Cresselia's Moonlight is unreliable due to the prevalence of sandstorm. Regardless, these traits combine to make Blissey impossible to OHKO with a special move without prior setup. She also makes a great team player by healing her teammates with Wish, curing them of status with Aromatherapy or Heal Bell, and crippling the opponent with Toxic and Thunder Wave. All in all, Blissey is the perfect choice for teams that are weak against special attackers such as Choice Specs Jolteon, SubPetaya Empoleon, and Life Orb Starmie.
Blissey does come with negative traits, however. First and foremost is her horrible Defense stat, which the opponent can easily exploit. Taunt, from the likes of Gyarados and Skarmory, also ruins Blissey and leaves her unable to wall special attacks as easily. However, with team support, Blissey is sure to do her job well.
With her massive specially defensive stats, Blissey is the best special wall in the game. She can freely switch into nearly any special move, heal off the damage, and then either stall the opponent out with Toxic or slowly whittle it down with an attacking move.
Wish allows Blissey to heal both herself and her teammates, while Protect lets Blissey scout your opponent's move and stall for Wish healing, but Softboiled can be used to instantly heal Blissey while she uses Wish to heal her team. Seismic Toss is the superior attack as it hits all Pokemon—except Ghost-types—for 100 HP damage, but Flamethrower lets Blissey do more damming to Steel-type switch-ins, such as Scizor and Lucario, and also hit Ghost-type Pokemon. However, Flamethrower leaves Blissey walled by Heatran. Toxic rounds off the set, and works well alongside Wish + Protect to allow Blissey to stall out her foes.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The idea behind this set is fairly straightforward: switch in on a special attacker, then heal your team of any status ailments. Aromatherapy is the main move on this set for this reason. With cleric support, your team no longer has to worry about having a dedicated status absorber. Softboiled provides Blissey with an instant recovery move, while an attacking move prevents her from being Taunt bait. Thunder Wave cripples Gengar and Rotom-A, who might switch in expecting Seismic Toss, while Toxic lets Blissey stall out some foes. However, the lack of Protect reduces Blissey's stalling capabilities as she can no longer alternate between Wish and Protect, and instead must rely on constantly using Softboiled.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
If you are not satisfied with only one attacking option, this is the set for you; it combines good coverage with the ability to spread status while sponging attacks. With an additional attacking move, opposing Pokemon will find it harder to set up on Blissey.
Seismic Toss is chosen for its consistency, while Ice Beam hits opposing Flygon and Dragonite, as well as Ground-type Pokemon that are immune to Thunder Wave. Flamethrower, on the other hand, is best used alongside Toxic, as it hits Steel-types that are immune to poison. However, any combination is viable; feel free to tweak the set to fit your team's needs.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Blissey can also use Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Hidden Power Ground to hit Dragon-types and Gliscor, Gyarados, as well as Heatran and Infernape, respectively; however, she will have to hit Infernape on the switch. Focus Blast hits Tyranitar, Lucario, and Weavile for super effective damage, but its accuracy is a large letdown. Hidden Power Fighting and Grass Knot take down Tyranitar more reliably, but Blissey can simply hit it with Toxic and then switch out; furthermore, Tyranitar is usually too threatening for Blissey to stay in on. Note that the biggest advantage of these moves is their surprise factor.
Counter can also work as a surprise move, but it generally only works once because the opponent will use a stronger physical move to KO Blissey the next time. Charm can soften physical blows, but it is incompatible with Seismic Toss due to breeding restrictions. Blissey can make good use of support options such as Stealth Rock and Gravity, as she can often switch in several times thanks to Softboiled and Wish. Psych Up lets her steal Calm Mind boosts from opposing Jirachi and Suicune; Blissey even has Calm Mind to boosts her own stats. Similarly, with Snatch, Blissey can steal the effects of boosting moves, Substitute, Reflect, and Light Screen.
There are a few other key Special Attack benchmarks Blissey might want to hit. 112 Special Attack EVs allow Blissey to OHKO 248/0 Scizor with Flamethrower after Stealth Rock, while 96 EVs enables her to OHKO 252/0 Gliscor with Ice Beam after Stealth Rock. With maximum investment, Blissey can always break Charge Beam Rotom-A's Substitutes, and 252/0 Rotom-A's Substitutes 41% of the time, as well as OHKO 160/168 Scizor after Stealth Rock. 92 Speed EVs let Blissey outspeed standard 8 Speed Choice Band Scizor and KO Scizor before it can threaten her.
While a Bold nature is recommended, a Calm nature with a spread of 24 HP / 252 Def / 232 SpD provides larger overall defenses along with a Leftovers number. While this spread does leave Blissey 2HKOed by attacks such as Swampert's Earthquake and Choice Scarf Tyranitar's Stone Edge, this Blissey survives the 2HKO from the likes of Choice Specs Lucario's Aura Sphere and Choice Specs Heatran's Flash Fire-boosted Fire Blast.
Checks and Counters
Machamp can switch into any Blissey set with ease; while RestTalk variants can heal off status and threaten with DynamicPunch, Guts versions gain a boost from both Toxic and Thunder Wave. Heracross is in a similar boat as Machamp, but doesn't like paralysis as much. Electivire can switch into Blissey's Thunder Wave and deal large amounts of damage with Cross Chop. Scizor can use non-Flamethrower Blissey as setup bait or threaten her with Superpower, as can Lucario with Swords Dance and Close Combat, but the latter must be wary of switching into Thunder Wave. Choice Specs Lucario can also threaten standard Blissey, as her lack of Special Defense investment leaves her 2HKOed by Aura Sphere. Infernape can easily KO Blissey with Close Combat, while Breloom can come in on a status move once its Toxic Orb is activated and threaten Blissey with Spore or a Fighting-type STAB move.
Snorlax, non-Agility Metagross, and non-Choice Scarf or Dragon Dance Tyranitar don't mind being paralyzed and can hit Blissey hard with their STAB attacks or Pursuit. Nasty Plot Togekiss can set up on Blissey while keeping itself healthy with Roost + Heal Bell. Celebi and Shaymin can use Leech Seed to stall out Blissey. Celebi can also switch out to a more threatening teammate, while Shaymin can lower Blissey's Special Defense with Seed Flare and eventually KO her. Gengar and Rotom-A can come in on any attack besides a status move and set up a Substitute to block status; the former can use Focus Punch while the latter can set up with Substitute and Charge Beam, and potentially 2HKO Blissey with Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Fighting. Finally, Dugtrio can trap and KO weakened Blissey.
Taunt users can easily stop Blissey by preventing her from healing or spreading status. Gliscor, Gyarados, and Tyranitar are all excellent Taunt users that can either set up on Blissey or outright attack her. Trick users, such as Gengar, Rotom-A, and Starmie, can also cripple Blissey by reducing her ability to wall attacks.

Do You Trust State Leaders With The Lights Out?
May 31, 2013
People, there is a war going on against sunshine and clean government laws. It's coming on the heels of a 5th District congressional race marred by multiple scandals tainting both Democrats and Republicans. We ought to be screaming for tougher rules and mass resignations. Instead, we're watching calmly as they try to weaken the laws that bring their crimes to our attention.

Road To Hell Paved With Caviar and Slippery Nipples
May 17, 2013
It's really hard to stand out as incompetent while running the city of Hartford, because almost everybody who tried to do it for the past 40 years has been either a knave, a genial idiot, an ill-tempered goose or some chimera-like combination of all three.

Despite Our Depredations, We Are Not Lost
April 18, 2013
In 1912, a man named 'Abdu'l-Bahá came to the United States to give talks. He was 68 and had lived a life of poverty, persecution, imprisonment and physical peril. His long beard was white, and his posture was stooped. He wore a buff-colored fez, wrapped in a white cloth.

March 29, 2013
No living person could explain what happened to the sports programs of the University of Connecticut in the last six months.

Curbs On Guns Work Better Than Old Slogans
March 8, 2013
The rhetorical failure of the week belonged to state Rep. Craig Miner who, in handing down the lame list of Republican proposals from a working group on gun violence, said, "We believe it's not the gun that kills the person. It's the person that actually kills the person. That sounds kind of cold, but that's the way it is."
Malloy Wants To 'Fix' The Watchdogs With A Snip
March 1, 2013
When it comes to ethics and government oversight and watchdogs, Connecticut should be like Middle Earth and rings of power. You shouldn't have to persuade people based on hypothetical scenarios. "What if the most evil person alive was trying to get a really awesome ring and use it to screw all of us?" This already happened, right? Ring control should be a given.

Throwing The Flag On Connecticut Candidates
September 28, 2012
Earlier this week, for one brief shining moment, our badly divided republic came together so gloriously that Paul Ryan and Barack Obama were finishing each other's sentences. Everybody agreed that the replacement refs were ruining professional football. This issue struck very close to home, because I am a Packers fan. It's a miracle I can sit up and take nourishment after Monday night, but that's my journey and not this column.

On Wednesday afternoon, my own radio station was going on a bit too long about how well peaches go with duck, so I flipped over to the show hosted by former Gov.

Current Exercise Guidelines For Low Risk Pregnancies
by Jaime Wooten, AFFA, CPT Prenatal/Postnatal Health and Fitness Educator
Exercise can be a wonderful outlet to prepare your mind, body and spirit in preparation for motherhood. New guidelines from ACOG & AFFA suggest that women with low risk pregnancies should workout 30-90 minutes a day! Walking, yoga, light weight-lifting and belly dancing are all fantastic programs to begin during your pregnancy.
Current Considerations and Modifications:
1) Perceived Rate of Exertion: On a Scale of 1-10, you should be about a 7/8 somewhat hard. If you need to test yourself make sure you can speak comfortably
2) Stay well hydrated! Take extra water breaks!
3) Second and Third Trimesters exercising on your back should be limited to 3 minutes. Abdominal work should be done on a slant ie: on a ball.
4) Avoid activities with high risk of falling or contact sports.
5) Hormonal carpal tunnel and tendonitis is quite prevelent. Lifting 3-5lbs weights is recommended. If you have a tingling in the hands or wrists, avoid direct pressure with palms while doing exercises on all fours and use fists and elbows as modification.
7) Especially in the 3rd trimester, if you have heartburn keep your head above your heart.
6) Signs to stop exercising and call your doctor include: vaginal bleeding, difficulting breathing, dizziness, and headache.
Listen to your body at all times, and remember to always consult your doctor or midwife before beginning an exercise program. Exercise can help you physically and mentally prepare you for labor and beyond. Enjoy your journey!

NewsPress Release: 10/18/01
MARLBORO, VT - The work of award-winning artist Katy Higgins will be on display at Marlboro College's Drury Gallery from October 29 through November 20. A gallery talk with the artist will take place at 4 p.m. on November 6.
Known for her innovation and versatility, Higgins will present two of her most recent works, "Circulatory System" and "Jellyfish." Both works involve panes of glass suspended by bronze wiring and lit from behind.
Much of her work is influenced by the need to search her emotional history "Many of my artistic ideas relate to my idea of evidence, remains, and documentation. I am fascinated by the ways in which remains, the physical evidences of a lost life, are displayed and arranged," says Higgins.
During her childhood, Higgins' family moved cross-country twice, providing experiences that have given her work a powerful emotional basis. Her art is part of the process of dealing with childhood trauma and, in the creation of her work, she finds for herself concrete emotional landmarks, milestones in her quest for "tangible proof of the past."
Holding a B.A. in studio art from Oberlin College, Ohio, Higgins has had her artwork exhibited at the SRO Photo Gallery at Texas Tech University; Oberlin College; Burren College of Art in Ballyvaughan, County Clare, Ireland; and MacDonough Museum of Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
The exhibit and gallery talk are free and open to the public. Drury
Gallery is fully accessible. For more information, please call (802)
257-4333 or visit Marlboro online at http://www.marlboro.edu.

How might fibrocartilaginous embolism be treated?
Unfortunately, there is no cure for the symptoms associated with this condition. Common treatments for fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE) have included intravenous steroids, intravenous heparin, and plasma exchange. However, no treatment has had a recognized impact on symptoms. The possibility that these treatments may have prevented further worsening or recurrence may still be considered.[1]

About bosconet
...the next time US Solicitor General Donald Verrilli appears before the court one of the Justices can ask why they should believe ANYTHING he is saying as he has been proven to mislead the court on at least one previous occasion.
This won't happen of course because apparently executive branch officials can lie to the legislative and judicial branches with no fear of consequences....
You make a good point. Given that there is almost zero consequences (especially for individuals responsible) there is very little dis-incentive to not abuse laws.
My dis-incentive to not break the law is I could go to jail, the government's is well.....very little in all too many cases.
the FBI doesn't have a backdoor, the NSA might but isn't sharing.......
My guess over what happened is someone at APL saw the post and due to their contracts with NSA and the silly pretense than documents freely available to all are still considered classified contacted JHU to ask for the removal of the post to prevent NSA was accusing APL to leaking classified documents which would put them in breach of contract.
All very dumb yes, but no conspiracy to suppress the post from the internet just from Johns Hopkins associated resources.
is even if EVERYONE ponied up $85 it wouldn't reduce the TSA by 1 person......
I think someone needs to document "crimes" committed (innocently) by Federal judges to illustrate that the theory of "ignorance of the law is now excuse" is a hopelessly outdated concept.
I fear even if a case was was brought to address the constitutionality of the FISA court the courts would toss the action out on the grounds that the plaintiff lakes standing to challenge the statute. You know because plaintiff can't prove they were affected by court.
that re-defines words like aquire, target and unlimited....it would explain a LOT.
He'd read it into the Congressional Record on the floor.
Using that standard, hardcover books should need to be stowed for take off and landing....oh and lap babies too, need to go under the seat or in the overheard bins for take off and landing.
And honestly the 'I fear they will become projectiles' has to be one of the weakest arguments.
That is almost certainly what they did. However one wonders how much it will help them in my experience most 'forensics' people are clueless with anything but Windows.
is there are no consequences for bogus take down requests. With out any consequences the incentive is to abuse the statute for ones own gain.
But your laptop is a bomb. Short out that lithium ion battery and BOOM!
and by denying Senator Paul access to his flight is effectively preventing a sitting member of the legislative branch from attending to his official duties. This is effectively an abuse of the powers of the Executive branch which is EXACTLY what that section of the Constitution is seeking to restrict.
Keeping documents classified LONG after they have become public knowledge is nothing new for the US Government. Take a look at the Pentagon Papers that were just declassified 40 years after Daniel Ellsberg leak to the NY Times was published.
No, no, no. Why waste money on all the labels. Just buy the one with the largest catalogue and undercut the other labels and price and negotiate contracts with artists that are open and don't swindle them out of their profits.
....than everything you pointed out is that even if Director Mueller 'misspoke' or wasn't 'fully informed' there will be no consequences for him or the FBI. The 3 provisions will be rubber stamped for renewal by congress and signed into law by the President.
Ummmm, just because the NFL says that doesn't mean it is legally true.
Because their ignorance of actual risks from twitter seems to be a way bigger security problem than twitter access might introduce.
And I sure hope any MA state agencies don't have twitter accounts that citizens have come to rely on.....
Not one he actually uses mind you but a through away one. get a cheap surplus one for $100 or so, install and OS on an encrypted partition and then fill up the partition with another encrypted file with the output of /dev/random. Let them confiscate it and enjoy themselves. As a added bonus they might think that the encrypted /dev/random file is some new encryption they can't break...

Start your Saturday off right with an amazing deal alert - supplies from Silhouette for 40% off - it's true!! And if you have another cutting machine or just want to hand-cut simple designs, this is for you (vinyl, heat-transfer vinyl, and tattoo transfer and things that come to mind for that situation).
Shop at Silhouette and use the code "SUGARBEE" to get that 40% off discount!
So machines aren't included in the sale, but lots of things are - here's what I would recommend:
- Heat Transfer Vinyl - - it's my favorite - there's just something about making custom tshirts that is super awesome.
- Sketch Pens - I've seen amazing things with these so I bought myself some months and months ago the last time they were 40% off - I haven't used them yet, but I am still super excited about them. Maybe I'll crank something out this weekend....
- Large Mat (12x24) - - I like using a mat when I cut vinyl, and this is great for the vinyl that comes on a roll - I bought mine and I know 40% off is a great deal.
- Fabric Blade - - if you plan on cutting fabric, you'll want a separate blade. It's the same as the regular blade, but you won't dull it with paper cutting (think, sewing scissors are for fabric only)
- Ink Kit - - I might pick this up - I think it's the only kit I don't have, and at 40% it's a deal!
- Vinyl - of course. You'll want rolls and rolls of vinyl so you're ready for any projects that come up.

Hello forum, I've got a series of questions regarding the recent 'no service' situation which many have been experiencing including myself with brand new phones both factory fresh and refurbished (factory fresh in my case).
First I would like to lay out the scenario.
iPhone gets flashed from original state of version 1.0.0 to 1.0.2. Thus:
-baseband gets flashed/updated.
-firmware flashed/updated.
1.) iPhone restore back to 1.0.1 from 1.0.2 possible because it uses the same baseband version?
2.) iPhone restore back to 1.0.0 (via iTunes) from 1.0.2 results in error due to baseband version?
3.) If executing bbupdate on the baseband using version 1.0.0 EEP data, will the restore back to 1.0.0 be successful (#1 resulting in success?)?
4.) Does #3 reset the unlock attempts?
I am trying to figure out why an iPhone I recently worked on (out of the many many I've done thus far in the last couple weeks) has not been successful. Resulting in the no service/invalid sim error.
I've restored the firmware and reflashed the baseband (with the 3_14 files i.e. 1.0.1/1.0.2 version) numerous times yet no luck.
I point out that the phone was brand new factory fresh obtained from an AT&T store.
Cheers and Thanks for the help guys

Customer Reviews
- HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT Review by M Paz
I am giving this product 1 star because the form will not let me give it zero stars. MAJOR LET DOWN. Executable file?? Really?? Unwieldy download that will not complete, disk space gobbler. Never occurred to me this was not a PDF, so on top of in everything, I cannot view this together with my other Interweave downloads on an Android tablet. Will definitely NEVER BE BUYING PRODUCTS IN THIS FORMAT AGAIN. No matter how possibly nice the content, which I have yet to see -- on my third try to install this tanker, if it ever finishes downloading. DISGUSTED.

Rampardos is a simple Pokemon whose prehistoric brain was wired to do one thing: break walls. With its wide movepool, amazing base 165 Attack, and Mold Breaker, it can break through even the sturdiest of walls, including those with Sturdy! Rampardos's Head Smash is the strongest attack in NU, even outdoing the power of Zweilous's Hustle Outrage by a fair amount. Sadly, Rampardos lacks Rock Head and will usually kill itself after a few kills, while its low base 58 Speed lets it down a lot of the time. Rampardos's Rock typing and low defenses make it incredibly easy to revenge kill and check, and its weakness to common priority in Aqua Jet and Mach Punch keep it in in its place. Rampardos's access to Sheer Force allows it to pull of an effective special attacking set, giving Rampardos essentially a base 99 Special Attack stat to get past some of its best checks such as Torterra, Tangela, Vileplume, and Alomomola, but it struggles against offense regardless. If you're looking for a Pokemon to break down opposing walls with the sheer strength of its Head Smash or the 'sheer force' of its special offense look no further than Rampardos.
Thanks to Rampardos's wide movepool, great Attack stat, and Mold Breaker ability, it has what it takes to become a highly effective utility Pokemon. Thanks to Superpower, Crunch, and Mold Breaker, it can OHKO common Stealth Rock users such as Probopass, Golem, Bastiodon, Carracosta, and Golurk without much of a hassle due to Rampardos's ability negating the effects of Sturdy or possibly Solid Rock in Carracosta's case. Rampardos can even be used to take down some of the more uncommon users of Stealth Rock such as Piloswine, who has a very good chance of getting OHKOed by Superpower. Head Smash is Rampardos's STAB attack of choice and will dent any Pokemon that comes in, while having a very good chance of OHKOing standard Garbodor and preventing it from setting up Spikes against Rampardos's team. Once it has taken down or forced out its main target, Rampardos can set up its own Stealth Rock or begin breaking down the enemy team with its powerful attacks. Rampardos's EVs allow it to do maximum damage with its strong physical attacks while its Speed investment allows it to outspeed some of the fastest walls in the tier, including Misdreavus. While Rampardos usually has an easy time defeating Stealth Rock users, there are three that stand out in being capable of beating Rampardos one on one. Torterra, Regirock, and Miltank have their individual special traits that allow them to get up Stealth Rock without the fear of Rampardos. Torterra's typing allows it to tank any of this set's attacks and either get up Stealth Rock or OHKO Rampardos with either one of its STAB attacks; Miltank's extremely high speed (for a wall) and good bulk allow it to always outspeed Rampardos and safely set up what it needs to, while Regirock's massive 80/200 defenses let it easily survive a Superpower.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Choice Band Rampardos is the very definition of power and gives Ramapardos the niche of being one of the most frightening Pokemon to switch into in NU. With its impressive base 165 Attack stat and its 150 BP STAB Head Smash, Rampardos can ram through even some of the bulkiest Rock-type resists in the tier such as Golem, Gurdurr, and Torterra, who Rampardos can cleanly 2HKO. While with Rampardos's newfound power boost it could use Earthquake to OHKO Golem, Probopass, and Bastiodon, Superpower is still chosen over it due to the ability to hit Normal-type Pokemon such as Lickilicky and Miltank as well as Air Balloon Probopass. Crunch serves the same purpose as it does in Rampardos's offensive utility set, but now has more use. With a Choice Band, Rampardos will have no problem doing major damage to Golurk, Misdreavus, and Musharna without suffering the massive recoil brought upon from Head Smash. Zen Headbutt falls in a similar boat as it only really serves as a way to 2HKO Vileplume, Gurdurr, and Throh without the recoil from Head Smash. Head Smash from Choice Band Rampardos truly hits like a nuke and Rampardos will usually find itself constantly using this move regardless of the situation, which brings it to its biggest problem. Head Smash gives Rampardos half of the amount of HP it dishes out as recoil, which alongside entry hazards severely limits the amount of times Rampardos is capable of abusing its STAB attack. With priority such as Aqua Jet, Sucker Punch, and Mach Punch on almost every team, Rampardos is relegated to demolishing Pokemon on the switch and won't be as effective against more offensive and faster teams. However, when it does get a chance to attack, Rampardos will never disappoint.
Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Rampardos seems like a straightforward Pokemon at first glance: just give it some physical attacks and hope to burst through the opponent's team. Rampardos has a very wide physical movepool, but another look reveals that Rampardos also has its share of excellent special attacks. Ranging from Fire Blast to Surf and even Thunderbolt, Rampardos has a special movepool that is sure to drive some Pokemon such as Samurott insane. Even with its wide special movepool there is no way it can make much use of them with its low base 65 Special Attack, right? Surprisingly, the answer is no. With its new Sheer Force ability, Rampardos can prevent Life Orb recoil and strengthen the power of its ability compatible moves. With this newfound ability, Rampardos essentially has a base 99 Special Attack stat to make use of to turn Rampardos into a powerful and unexpected special attacker. Special Rampardos is one of the best Alomomola lures in NU and deals solid damage to any switch in. The main thing that differentiates Rampardos from other special attackers is his massive base 165 Attack stat and STAB Head Smash. Head Smash will easily destroy any special wall that would be capable of coming into any of Rampardos's other attacks. Regice, Altaria, Flareon, or Lickilicky think they can come into Rampardos and check it? Nope, they get torn to shreds by the 'sheer force' of this dinosaur's prehistoric wrath.
Even knowing this, most people would stray away from special Rampardos asking themselves what it can do that a physical set cannot. Both sets can easily break down walls, but the physical set makes use of its tremendous Attack to heavily damage even Pokemon that resist its hits. However, the main reason that special Rampardos is viable over a physical set is that it can break walls with far fewer drawbacks. Physical sets are constantly taking Life Orb or Head Smash recoil and are having their stats decreased by Superpower. This set, on the otherhand, takes no Life Orb recoil for three out of four of its moves and doesn't need to use Head Smash nearly as often.
Sadly, special Rampardos is definitely not a set that every team should use. While its wallbreaking powers are awing, most teams would rather have support from the offensive utility set or bone shattering Choice Band set. While this set has the advantage of not taking much recoil and switching up moves, the fact still stands that most of special Rampardos's kills are 2HKOs. Choice Band Rampardos has a much bigger list of OHKOs and is, for the most part, free to just spam Head Smash. While it will kill itself very quickly compared to special Rampardos its ability to force an opponent to sacrifice a Pokemon every time it gets an opportunity fits more teams better. Compared to the offensive utility set, special Rampardos will never be able to replicate the same support due to the requirement of having Sheer Force in order to be competitive and having no room for Stealth Rock. While special Rampardos will never be capable of matching what the other two sets can do, it still has a definite niche as a special attacker that some teams can appreciate.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Rampardos's main sets have all listed most what it can do, including becoming a special attacker. However Rampardos's movepool is extremely wide and has other options up its sleeves. Rampardos has access to most of the elemental punches and can use Thunder Punch or Fire Punch to hit specific targets such as Alomomola, Tangela, and Vileplume. These attacks can give the Choice Band set a way to break through these extremely defensive Pokemon without taking recoil damage, but comes at the price of replacing another of Rampardos's moves and maybe some of its coverage. Rampardos has access to Pain Split and Endeavor, which it can use on the offensive utility set to take advantage of its constant use of Life Orb and Head Smash, but requires Rampardos to give up either Crunch or Stealth Rock which are required to achieve the set's main role. Rampardos can use a Choice Scarf to unleash fast Head Smashes, but Rampardos is way too slow to take advantage of the speed boost, is weak to common priority moves in Aqua Jet and Mach Punch, and gives up a lot of its wallbreaking power. Rampardos also has access to Pursuit which it can try to make use of to trap Ghost-type Pokemon, but will generally fail as Rampardos is slower than most Ghost-type Pokemon and risks taking a lot of damage. Rock Polish and Swords Dance can be used to give Rampardos a possible chance to sweep, but due to Rampardos's subpar bulk and typing it is extremely hard to set up and not worth it due to Rampardos's weaknesses to priority.
Checks and Counters
Finding straight-up counters to Rampardos, Pokemon who can effortless take the onslaughts of both the physical and special variants, is almost impossible. Gurdurr is possibly one of the best switches into Rampardos regardless of the set thanks to its Fighting-typing and great all around bulk with Eviolite. Even so, Gurdurr does have to watch out for Choice Band Rampardos's Zen Headbutt, as it will 2HKO and put Gurdurr at an unsalvageable range of HP. Tangela and Alomomola can take a hit from physical Rampardos, forcing Rampardos to take recoil from Life Orb or Head Smash. Thanks to their Regenerator ability, they can switch back to an appropriate resist and gain 33% of their health back to be capable of doing it over and over again. While Rampardos is lacking in counters, almost the entire metagame can be considered a check to it. Due to it's Rock-typing, bad bulk, and low Speed any Pokemon that can be safely brought against it that can outspeed can be considered Rampardos check. Rampardos's tendencies to use Life Orb, recoil attacks, or the stat dropping Superpower only serves to make checking it a breeze. Essentially having all the of the best Pokemon in the metagame including Braviary, Zangoose, Ludicolo, Haunter, Gurdurr, and Samurott as good revenge killers serve to bring Rampardos down and is the reason why it has managed to say so dormant in NU.
Rampardos's Rock-typing also brings forth weakness to priority in the form of Aqua Jet and Mach Punch, while its frailty leaves it at the mercy of Sucker Punch users. This major weakness to the common priority is the primary suspect in the lack of effectiveness in the Choice Scarf set. While Rampardos does indeed have excellent attacking stats, there are Pokemon that can take a hit and retaliate, becoming checks without needing to outspeed Rampardos. The Regenerator Pokemon, Alomomola and Tangela, can all take a hit from physical Rampardos with their good defensive stats and retaliate with their STAB attacks. Other Pokemon such as Torterra, Golem, and Regirock can all take a hit thanks to their typing or excellent defense and retaliate with Earthquake or Drain Punch, respectively. While the special set is capable of 2HKOing almost the entire metagame, it misses OHKOs on a lot of Pokemon as well. Pokemon such as Swords Dance Lickilicky, Gurdurr, and Musharna can all take a hit and beat down Rampardos with their attacks.

Oz Blog Day 17
Is it really day 17 of the Oz Blog already? It's amazing how time flies. I also think I labeled my last blog with the wrong day. I should probably take a supplement to help my… uh… my, what's the word? Oh well, I'll think of it.
Yesterday was Election Day, so there was no Dr. Oz Show, and no Oz Blog – MEMORY!! I need a supplement to help my memory -- Anyway, our whole news staff has to hustle on Election Day. There's not much time to eat, so the station springs for pizza. I had a few slices, and people asked me if they were "Doctor Oz approved." I get this question a lot. To Dr. Oz's credit, he doesn't give a lot of DON'Ts on his show, and instead focuses on the Dos. The good doctor hasn't said specifically, "No pizza!" So, I don't feel like I cheated. I just need to make sure that it's not my regular dinner, and that I keep exercising and eating right the rest of the time.
On a recent show, Oz recommended ginger chews. Oz loves ginger. He says it's good for digestion, circulation, and a bunch of other stuff. A couple of my coworkers swear by ginger. Jamie Grey has ginger chews and ginger tea at her desk, and gave me samples of both (I didn't enjoy the chew whatsoever, and haven't tried the tea). Matt Johnson puts ginger in his morning smoothie, and says he sometimes just gnaws on a ginger root. I tried this on the News at Five (as you can see in the video above, it went as well as these eating endeavors normally go). I really seemed to worry Dee Sarton with my I just over-did another Oz eating tip, and might have trouble keeping this down face. But this kind of thing is 'old hat' for me now.
On Wednesday's Dr. Oz Show, the doctor did a few visual experiments involving fire and liquid nitrogen. He stressed that you shouldn't try these at home. Why do I feel like he was talking to me?
He exposed some myths, and gave some good tips (many of which I'm already doing). But he also recommended a tip to help eye damage when looking at a TV or computer for a long time. Oz says every 20 minutes; we should look 20 feet away for 20 seconds, and blink continuously. He also said prolonged eye exposure to KTVB's competing websites and TV programs could cause irreparable eye damage (ed note: he didn't say that).
Oz also debunked the "5 second rule." He says eating something off the ground, even if it's been there for less than five seconds, or just a second, is very unhealthy. This hit home for me, because when I was much younger, I ate something off a movie theater floor (which has the cleanliness of a cattle trailer). Don't get too disgusted. I won a bet, and earned $1.00!
"How does that make it less disgusting?" you might ask. To which, I would reply, "Ummmm… look at this dollar I just made!"
Let's update my progress. I'm almost down a belt notch, which is good news. My weight is still plateauing, but Oz says to focus more on measurements anyway. "But, isn't weight a measurement?" you might ask. To which, I would reply, "Maybe. I forgot… I should really take a supplement to improve my… uh… never mind."

MCC to implement budget cuts
AKRON, Pa. — Amid the global economic crisis, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is reducing its budget in the coming year while continuing to focus its resources on helping people in poverty around the world.
The budget for MCC's international program, which carries out relief, development and peacemaking work in more than 50 countries, will be reduced by about $2 million and administrative expenditures also are being cut, according to Arli Klassen, MCC's executive director.
"As we make difficult decisions, our highest concern is for the hundreds of thousands of people around the world whose lives are touched by MCC's work," she said.
These cuts for MCC represent a 10-percent reduction. MCC U.S. and the regional MCCs in the U.S. are facing a 9-percent reduction. MCC Canada and provincial MCCs are also facing budget cuts. However, it is not yet clear what the size of the budget cuts in Canada will be. The financial year for the MCCs in Canada ends on Aug. 31.
"Our hope, still, is that the generosity of donors will enable the MCCs in Canada to meet their financial commitments to the people we serve," said Don Peters, executive director of MCC Canada.
While more people are giving money to support MCC's work than in previous years, the average contribution decreased in 2008, and the economic turmoil has affected MCC in other ways. In particular, the value of contributions from Canada was reduced because of a sharp drop in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Nearly half of MCC's funding for international program comes from Canadian contributions in Canadian dollars. MCC's financial reserves were also reduced by losses in financial markets.
Klassen asks for prayer for the work of MCC and renewed giving to support MCC's mission.
"Thank you for your commitment to walking alongside people who face poverty and conflict, whether we have big resources or smaller resources," Klassen said. "Our commitment to sharing God's love does not change."

No one joins a board to fail, yet many trustees often come up short in their nonprofit service and their understanding, approach to and success in fundraising for the institution. In this webinar, we will consider new structures and strategies to organize the relationship-building and fundraising work of the board, highlighting specific approaches and case studies from a variety of institutions.
We will discuss how new approaches allow museums to apply the strategies in the development process to models that engage the full board and yield results—and yes, raise money. By organizing the critical work, regularly engaging trustees in problem solving and educating them about the opportunities presented through fundraising, the work of building more sustainable museums can begin.

Country Report
Ecuador is the host of the 68th LMHI Congress, 02-04 June 2013 in Quito. The Ecuadorian Homeopathic Medical Society (SOMHE) is a private and non-profit organization with jurisdiction throughout Ecuador, whose members are professional doctors. The Health Ministry recognized SOMHE in 1983. The Ecuadorian Medical Federation recognized homeopathy as a specialty in 1998, giving the members of our society acceptance and prestige. For more than 15 years SOMHE has maintained a popular consultancy, providing education as well as high-level medical professional service and respectful treatment for the underprivileged. The last representative legislative assembly recognized homeopathy in particular and alternative medicines in general, as legal medical practices that must be promoted by the universities and by public and private health services.

It appears this video is bugged. I will try to fix.
I love to study modern warfare, play with LEGOs and experiment with various mods. I am a board game designer in spare time, when I'm not recording/editing my radio show (Paradise Ranch Pre-Recorded Radio) or the Matt & Zach Show, or doing stuff with the gaming makeshift clan known as JSSG. My main project right now is TF2 Tactics; a strategy/tactical board game based on the popular FPS. Also, Please refrain from profanity on my page, thank you! If you see a "Vadronus Prime" running around, that's my alternate gamer-tag. (Long version of Vader91 really, lol) The Free Voice from Vegas Itself!

Thanks for watching all my vids folks! I'll try and get other game vids up in the semi-near future.
