TROWBRIDGE & DISTRICT LEAGUE DIVISION THREE: Heavyweight clash won by Holt
1:00pm Monday 16th December 2013 in Sport
THE top two sides in the division at the start of the day squared up against each other in Holt where Ben Hogg's table-topping villagers took on second-placed United FC, who were looking to avenge their 3-2 loss from the start of the season.
The result once again went the way of Holt who this time came out on top of a seven-goal thriller winning 4-3.
Goals from Dan Cockeril and Tom Baker put Holt two up before Shavon Allen got United back in the game whe nhe scored from the penalty spot prior to half time.
United restored parity through Jozef Zapotolzny only for Holt to reclaim a two-goal advanatge for the second time in the contest, Jamie Parlour scoring both goals that put the hosts 4-2 up.
A second from Shavon Allen reduced the deficit to the odd goal and made the final minutes interesting, but United were unable to conjure up an equalising goal for the second time in the game as Holt held on to claim their 11th win of the season that saw them open up a seven-point lead over White Horse, who have played four fewer games that the villagers.
Trowbridge Rangers 5 The Lamb Reserves 0
THREE wins from their last six outings would have set Adam Stevens. Lamb Reverses side up nicely for their derby day showdown at the Stallards with Trowbridge Rangers.
James Goddard's hosts thumped their guests 7-0 in the reverse fixture and Goddard's men were on top of their game once again as they claimed a double over their guests thanks to a comfortable 5-0 win.
Jordan Field put Trowbridge the lead which was double by Dan Moore and it was game over before half time when Jordan Lukas netted his first goal of the season to make it 3-0.
After the break, Tom Doveton added number four before Dan Moore bagged a second of the afternoon to seal victroy for the home side.
White Horse FC 5 Marshfield FC 0
MANY people's favourites for the title, White Horse, picked up their ninth successive victory which came courtesy of a 5-0 win at home to Marshfield FC.
The Westbury-based side packed with many experience players are living up to pre-season expectations and as well as scoring goals for fun their defence has to take a lot of credit as another shut out was their seventh clean sheet of the season.
Marshfield had the bare XI travel to Westbury and put up a spirited performance it the first period that saw Stuart Barber's goal separate the teams at half time.
After the break and as Marshfield started to tire to goals started to flow, Kane Scott doubling the hosts' lead before Marek Mistra turned in the third of the afternoon.
A second from Stuart Barber took it to 4-0 and Paul Beavers with his 11th goal of the campaign completed the winners nap hand.
Zeals FC 4 Polenez Westbury 2
A BATTLING second-half performance from Zeals FC saw them overturn a 2-1 deficit at home to Polenez Westbury and claim a 4-2 win.
Goals from Michael Koszychi and Sebastian Koszychi had helped Polenez into a winning position in a first half that saw Ben Talbot score for Zeals.
Polenez, who were probably the better side in the first half and who started the second period the better of the two teams, were pegged back by Jose Gualda whose fine finish tied the game at two apiece.
A second from Gualda put Zeals in front and when Stuart Plumeridge, on his return from university, grabbed his first for the club Zeals comeback was complete.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 30
Come on parents this is your chance
Do I get extra points for getting my father involved as well. He is a true disc golf addict. Or should I start a group titled "Kids who have parents that disc golf"?
My son Ryan should definately join that group. He is totaly to blame for my plastic addiction.
I think you and him can join the group
For Parents of the youngest children, as soon as you can like maybe 2 or 3 years on up to .. please show them Heave H.O.E. Frisbee throwing instructions on DVD, and have an original Wham-O Frisbee handy too!
For that matter, for anyone wanting to jump start a child (or adult) of any age into suddenly making good flying disc throws, check out HH on DVD.
I have witnessed unusual skills of accuracy and distance from every youngster that has had the opportunity to mentally ingest HH on DVD and practice a little. And these Frisbee games will occupy frisbee players for years.
HH is not just all about disc golf, but about pitching and catching the flying disc, in a friendly way too.
Hey, it may be a good stocking stuffer for young families (but for Grampa and Gram too!), and comes with a free Original Wham-O disc.
Nuff said
I just went through the complete list of groups on DGRUS and found:
Disc Golf Dads with 57 members.
Parents of Future Disc Golfers with 26 members.
Take Your Kids Disc Golfing with 24 members.
Also there is the
E.D.G.E. group that has 45 members.
and your group
Parents with Kids that Disc Golf has 17 members.
It would be nice if we could get all this content and members into one group.
It would be wonderful but as far as i know my group has been very active and i would like to keep it that way so all those members of other groups are more than welcome to join my group so we can all get together
how appropriate.... new group picture?
My kid, now 19, has been around disc golf all his life.
NEVER pushed him, now he wants to play.
With some initial coaching, he asked, has developed into a new 'big distance' kid.
come on parents looking for new members

I worked at Avery Dennison full-time
Pros – Good benefits, vacation and holiday schedule, flexible scheduling. Many opportunities to learn and expand skills and abilities through working with crossfunctional teams, global team members, and special projects. Very supportive of employees pursuing new opportunities within the company and in the relocation process.
Cons – Not a "family type" atmosphere; due to continued "re-structuring/organizing" activities, you constantly worry whether or not you will have employment the next week. Talented employees are either lost through the restructure or to pursue new opportunities due to the lean structure and long work hours. Work-free vacations and weekends rarely exist either as it is the norm to always have your phone/email on and be available. Do not plan to retire from here---learn and move on.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Avery Dennison full-time for less than a year

Thunderbird 3 Provides Tabs, Better Search and Archiving
The carrier pigeon has arrived. After almost two and a half years in development, the new version 3 of the popular Thunderbird e-mail program is now available.
According to the release notes, the e-mail client provides several new features. First among them are the tabs familiar to Firefox users that allow opening multiple mail messages side by side. The tabs are stored when quitting Thunderbird and are restored when reopening.
The developers around David Ascher also whittled at the search function. Search results can now be filtered by more attributes and even using the timeline tool. Thunderbird also indexes received mails in advance to get to the search results more quickly.
Important messages can be archived by pressing the A key to file them in the new Archive folder system. The new Add-ons Manager allows extensions to be installed directly from Thunderbird, although Thunderbird 2 extensions might not quite work in Thunderbird 3 and it might be best to test them individually for new add-on versions.
The new mail account setup is helpful in that it tries to detect automatically the IMAP and POP3 settings, sparing you from having to do costly searches on the major free mail provider websites. It's enough just to enter the name, e-mail address and password, and Thunderbird theoretically takes care of the rest.
Developers furthermore simplified the address book and improved and upgraded the integrated spam filter. If you forget to include an attachment, Thunderbird will remind you to do so, provided you defined a keyword such as "attached" or "included" and include it in the message.
An integrated migration assistant helps users upgrade from Thunderbird 2 to 3 and offers some choices for settings. However, developers suggest backing up profiles, because the upgrade might overwrite the previous version. The e-mail files are usually stored in the $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird directory. Because the directory can get quite large, enough free space should be provided on the hard drive.
The release does have some known issues. For example, some Thunderbird 2 users may not be able to log in to their SMTP server because the secure authentication fails. Switching back and forth between Thunderbird 3 and an older release may also not update passwords properly because of where they're now stored.
You can download Thunderbird 3 right away, but it might make more sense to wait until the individual distros provide it, for a better integration into the desktop.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Other Metagames' started by verbatim, Mar 17, 2012.
wonderguard and OHKO moves are illegal
Regigigas @ Lum Berry
Trait: Pure Power
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Extremespeed
- Shadow Claw
This is definitely my favourite sweeper in the metagame at the moment. Substitute is basically mandatory for any setup sweeper in this metagame to deny revenge kills by Blissey. Combined with Toxic Spikes support, it can quite easily deal with things that bother it such as Heart Swap Arceus and Shedinja. I'm running Jolly nature to get the jump on rival Regigigas/Slaking who run Adamant nature.
@Omnigross, in Pure Hackmons, I believe they are. This is the balanced hackmons though. And at Q2: Yes, they do.
There are so many things I'm dying to try out right now, but I can't seem to connect to Pokemon Showdown.
It just says: "If the client is taking a long time to load, try refreshing in a few minutes. If it still doesn't work, Pokemon Showdown may be down for maintenance. "
then "Could not connect to Showdown server at novawave.ca:8000. You may have mistyped the address, or the server may be down for maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Is it really down for maintenance? That's the same thing that it said since 2 days ago.
Mewtwo@white herb
252hp 252 speed 6 special attack
aura sphere
ice beam/thunder(bolt)/flamethrower
Shell smash
Simples, I do not know much about ubers but the idea of mewtwo getting a 3+ speed and special attack boost is scary. The eves need adjusting but the principle is simple and heck it's ubers so it's hard to make something that is not already broken.
Typhlosion@life orb
sheer force
252 sp attack 252 speed
fire blast
hidden power (ice)/focus blast/aura sphere
quiver dance
lets face it thyphlosion is not going to learn an ice move so hp ice will do fine, he already is capable of generating lightning with his fur, yet dose not learn thunderbolt. Quiver dance is his salvation, even now quiver dance would boost Tye up into a solid uu contender, with his pitiful move pool holding him back. Give him one extra coverage move we have a real contender for volcanora in ou, lack of a 4x Sr weakness for just one, sheer force can give him the power of volcanora in thunderbolt and fire blast or flamethrow but the reliance on a hidden power which will not boosted by sheer force will hold him back.
This is Hackmons, you can max out all EVs. And why HP Ice on Typhlosion when you could give it Ice Beam/Blizzard? For that matter, why Typhlosion at all? His stats aren't exactly the greatest out there, or his typing... mono-Fire STAB isn't doing all that much. Pretty nice looking Mewtwo set, though I would probably suggest Substitute over something to prevent a Blissey revenge kill.
Anyway, this metagame looks ridiculously fun. Might have to give it a try some time. :D
Why not infernape ? Higher attacking statsand speed.
It is because thyphlosion sucks atm, we may as well make a balanced hackmon for poor typhlosion to give him a saving grace set that's not too far fetched.
As for mewtwo, he should be able to at least 2ko blissey after a boost, maybe max his special attack out for a would be ohko, idk i'd have to do the math.
how about i save shaymin?
Shaymin@life orb
magic guard
252 speed and sp attack/ maxed
Quiver dance
Flamethrower/earth power
Ice beam/earth power
Seed flare
I'm not playing this thing so I can theorymon the shit out of it:
- Final Gambit Blissey?
- Rain teams sporting some Rain Dish/ Swift Swim / Hydration stuffs?
- Random Rocky Helmets? (yea f u sheddy)
- Drizzle Water Spout Palkia? (Double STAB 150 base power attack coming off base 150 SpA? Sure, why not!)
In a similar vein,
- Drought Overheat Specs Reshiram?
- Hydration Sheddy in the rain? (bound to net you one free turn sooner than later)
He's talking about blissey running imposter. Almost every blissey runs imposter now-a-days. Way more bulkier means that it will KO you before you can KO it.
For the typhlosion and Shaymin set. While I love the idea of using Underused/NEVER USED threats it really cant be helped in this metagame. Your gonna see pokemon that consist of
-Slaking/Regigigas+Pure Power+Extreme Speed
-Giratina/Lugia with prankster/magic guard
-Mewtwos/any uber special sweeper with Contrary
-Blissey with imposter
-Maybe a couple of illusion pokes
-Unaware pokes with heart swap
-Prankster with heart swap
-Sub/QuiverDance/recovery move/ Filler Attack move sets
-Shedinja with sturdy(which is slowly losing its popularity)
-and maybe some random creative set
lol anything else I'm missing.
Idk if shaymin nor typhlosion can stand up at all to these threats, actually any of these threats. The mewtwo set however is very creative and can possibily work. As Terinity said you would definitly wanna add Sub on there to stop imposter blissey and add a lum berry since having defense in this metagame doesnt really matter anyways. Slaking/regigigas OHKOS you with or without the drop.
Mewtwo@ Lum Berry
Trait: Simple
Nature: Modest
ice beam/thunder(bolt)/flamethrower
Shell smash
The problem with Hydration Shedinja is that it's pretty much useless after your opponent finds out you don't have Sturdy. They'll just hit it with any attack it isn't immune to and it won't be able to switch in on attacks like it normally would. Hydration also activates at the end of the turn, so if your opponent is faster and Spores you, you still won't get to act in that turn. The other ones sound cool, though.
This, though I'm female ;) Imposter scarfed Blissey basically has twice the bulk of any setup sweeper and an extra +1 to speed. If you've been boosting attacking stats, you're screwed unless you have a way to block the attack, which is where Sturdy Shedinja comes into play. If you've been boosting defensive stats... well, you'd better have a phazer or something immune to the move it picks, because otherwise that Blissey ain't going anywhere until it's out of PP.
The idea of running Shedinja without Sturdy is an interesting one... people expect it so much that they might not even try to attack. But then, what might you replace it with? Magic Guard comes to mind, preventing KOs from indirect damage instead, but you lose the ease of switching in plus one round of Sandstorm and the jig is up. Though it might be amusing, if somewhat gimmicky, to run two Shedinja, one with Sturdy and one with Magic Guard... heh.
Lemme try one more: Flash Fire Dialga? Allows him to tank most of the Contrary pokemon for a second.. And yeah, Hydrinja wasn't the best thought out pokemon.
Even better would be Swift Swim Water Spout Palkia with Drizzle Support.
I've actually used Water Spout Kingdra+ Drizzle Politoed in Battle Subway Doubles (yes, it's just as cheap as it sounds); it's terrifying how much power Water Spout Kingdra has, I can only imagine what Palkia could do since it's basically Kingdra on steroids.
Contrary pokemon are rare when laying good opposition, and not really a significant threat until very late game vs a good team
Water spout + specs palkia wouldnt work very well (i tried it ;) Water spout doesnt do enough even with modest nature in rain (38.9% - 45.8% to giratina)
Now running that swift swim + tail glow + water spout might be interesting, but slaking espeeds would do enough to make water spout mediocre.
That's an interesting question actually, which viable Pokemon/Attack combination has the largest immediate damage output? I'd hazard a guess at Pure Power Ho-oh with V Create in the sun. Not necessarily an effective 'mon, but I expect it would rip virtually anything apart.
Change that to Darminatan and yep you got the highest damage output in the game. The Sun,STAB+180 base power move, and pure power allows it to be better higher than any other special attacker and slaking. lol im gonna try that for overkill...
Since smogon's damage calc cant calc for darminatin I did it for Ho-oh. All done with Adamant+pure power+Sun- V-create
Choice Band vs Giratina- 76.3% - 89.9%
Choice Scarf vs Giratina- 50.7% - 59.8%
Choice Scarf vs Lugia- 127.2% - 150%
I'm defintely gonna be running rampant with choice scarf lol over kill!! Not even blissey can 100% revenge kill you. The question is though between Ho-oh or daminatan. Slaking cant OHKO with Espeed to Ho-oh..only doing 68% - 80.3%. While it can OHKO darminatan. However Darminatan is slightly stronger and can switch into the majority of pokes that got a +1 speed boost from quiver dance and outspeed them.
Pure Power Slaking with Choiced Explosion, I think. As you said, not necessarily effective, but...
I think you may have forgotten something in your calc's, as by my calc 252 adamant CB vcreate from 140 base attack to 252/252 +def nature giratina in sun does 48% - 56.5%
Sun Boosted V-Create actually has a higher Base Power but Slaking will do slightly more damage thanks to its higher Atk.
Did you add Pure Power ability to the mix and how were you able to come up with a 140 base power Fire pokemon? I just did the calc w/o pure power and came up with about the same answer. Also weird I just did the calc again with pure power and it said it was a OHKO on 252/252 giratina. O_o
Unfortunately thats not enough to OHKO Giratina, you deal 60.71 - 71.62% in the sun with a Pure Power sun boosted V-Create. If you REALLY want to score the kill on Giratina you could run an attack boosting nature and a Choice Band (netting you 100 - 117.85%) but then you'll be and revenge killed by the majority of the tier.
252 jolly CS Pure Power sun boosted V-Create should do the trick for most intents and purposes, right?
It's somewhat disappointing that this got 4 pages long before someone mentioned that marowak gets priority stab earthquake (when using prankster nature power) coming off 568 attack without life orb recoil or being locked with a choice item.
i tried that but its very underwhelming.
slaking is stronger with pure power and extremespeed. and an extra priority level to.

Probate Bond (Estate Bond)
Learn more at our full video library
- How much does a probate bond cost?
Prices are a percentage of the bond amount. They will vary depending on the personal credit of the applicant along with the conditions surrounding the estate. If you are just looking for an idea of pricing, you can get a range of costs or you can apply online and get an exact price.
- Is a probate surety bond protection for me?
No. As the executor or fiduciary, you are provided no insurance from the bond. It protects rightful heirs receiving inheritance by guaranteeing you (the executor/fiduciary) will disburse the estate per the will or probate laws; should you fail to do so a claim can be made to make the heirs whole. The bond does not protect any heir that is also the executor or fiduciary.
- Can I get approved for probate bonding without collateral?
Yes. Collateral is not required for most probate bonds. They are usually approved with just your indemnification and premium.
- I have bad credit. Can I still get a bond?
It is possible. However, it depends on the extent of your credit issues. You may be able to get approved if you only have moderate credit problems. Serious credit issues will make you ineligible for bonding. Securing the help of legal counsel will help guide you through the process and increase your chances of getting approved. Fill out our application online to see if you qualify.
- Why is a probate bond required of me?
It protects all rightful heirs of estates in which you are executor or fiduciary by guaranteeing you will abide by the will or probate laws if there is no will. If you do not disburse the estate according to the will or probate laws, a claim can be filed on the bond, which you must repay.
- How do I avoid claims?
Execute the estate in accordance with the will. If there is no will, you must cooperate with the probate law. Watch our video to get a better understanding of claims.
Still have questions? See our Education Center or ask us now!
What Are Probate and Estate Bonds?
Probate bonds, also referred to as estate bonds, protect rightful heirs as they guarantee a fiduciary or executor will handle the estate of a deceased individual according to the will or a court. Other terms used for this bond include executor bonds and fiduciary bonds; although the names vary, they still provide the same guarantee.
What Do Probate Bonds Cost?
Costs are a portion of the bond amount, which vary by the personal credit of the fiduciary or executor and the conditions surrounding the estate; collateral is usually not required. You can use our tool to get a ballpark estimate or apply directly on our website to get an exact price.
How Do Probate Bonds Work?
Probate bonds are required by a court, and the court will vary by the county, township or city where the estate is located, as probate laws vary by jurisdiction. A bond can be required even if the will states that no bond is needed, as it is ultimately left to the judge's discretion. If a fiduciary or executor does not handle the estate according to the will or court orders, a claim can be filed on the bond to ensure the heirs receive the items outlined in the will. The surety company will pay the claim initially, but will come back to the fiduciary or executor for reimbursement.
Can I Get A Probate Bond With Bad Credit?
It is possible, but approvals will depend on the severity of the credit issues. You may be able to get approved for a probate bond with minor credit issues. It helps to have legal counsel, as this will increase the chances of approval and guide you through the process. However, serious credit issues will prevent you from obtaining a probate bond. It is important to understand that surety bonds are a form of credit provided by the surety company, as the surety is guaranteeing that you will fulfill all obligations. Apply online and determine if you qualify.
