2013 Cell Phone Statistics
New information has been released about how we used our cell phones, smartphones, and mobile devices in 2013. Some of the stats show a clear move among the average cell user towards it being their primary gaming, internet, and communication device.
New Data From Pew Research
2012 Cell Phone Statistics
As technology continues to improve, the use and saturation of cell phones and their users continues to change drastically. The increase over the last ten years has been incredible and the way we use our phones to stay connected and informed continues to change.
From Pew Internet
CTIA Research Stats
Mobile Usage Growth
25% of internet users are mobile only - meaning, they do not access the internet for browsing from any other device.
71% of smartphone users that see TV, press, or advertising that interests them will immediately do a mobile search.
The average American smartphone user spent nearly 30 minutes a day checking or updating social networks.
2011 Cell Phone StatisticsThe way we use cell phones has changed drastically over the last year. Once upon a time, we used cell phones to make calls while we were away from our homes. Recent studies show that we may be migrating away from our primary use of the phone to more of a texting and mobile web device.
Pew Studies 2011
Updated Statistics for 2009
I was sitting around the other day marveling about how popular cell phones have become. It's amazing that in our culture we make ourselves available every minute of every day -- thank goodness for call display! Anyway, I did a quick Google search and stumbled upon an interesting article with a list of cell phone statistics that I thought was worth sharing.
Here's what I learned:
I wonder how many people would stop blogging to answer their cell phone?
Excuse me, I have call…
5 Ways to cut your cell bill - from ConsumerReports Magazine Jan 2008
Special Caller Deals Cingular has roll-over minutes. Most carriers allow free in network calls (like a Verizon to Verizon call). Alltell and T-Mobile offers a select number of phone numbers which you can call for free.
Overage Charges During months with higher than normal usage, increase your plan just for that month making sure you don't spend the .45 cents per minute for minutes that are over your plan. Also make sure to regularly check your bills to determine if you need to increase or decrease your lines. No sense in paying for more than you need.
Control Usage by Children AT&T offers a limiting service which controls several aspects of the calling behavior. From the web parents can limit the phone numbers dialed, duration of calls and more.
Pay Attention to All Charges Getting a good deal on minutes is good, but make sure you consider all other charges. Text messaging is a great feature but can add up very quickly. The standard rate for one text message is 15 cents. With Texting Plans, messaging can drop to only a penny per message. Also make sure to check the rates for data and web access.
PrePaid Phone If you barely use any minutes, and 300 minutes is an overkill for you, then a prepaid phone may be the best option.

This conclusion is the view of two scholars, Thomas E. Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Norman J. Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. The "core of the problem lies with the Republican Party," the pair wrote in a recent Washington Post oped. The essay is a shorter version of their new book, It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism.
Make no mistake, Ornstein and Mann are not party hacks. Their employers operate near two ends of Washington's ideological spectrum, with Brookings more in line with liberals and AEI friendlier to conservative causes.
The current state of affairs of the Republican Party, they point out, is decidedly not a conservative cause, despite what many in the party profess. The party "has become an insurgent outlier in American politics" that "is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition."
It's not fair to dismiss all elected Republicans as know-nothings who have embraced an uncompromising anti-science/anti-reason platform in an all-out war with opponents. While some more extreme Republicans fall into those ranks, we suspect many others are merely too politically nervous to challenge the zealots within their party. Their silence in the face of irresponsible and dangerous notions about government, science and war may keep them in office — at least until the winds of politics shift — but it ultimately does damage to their nation and their own political party.
This collection of quiet Republicans must summon the strength to call out extremism within their own ranks. The nation didn't put a man on the moon with anti-science politicians running the show. It didn't produce the world's leading economy by crank notions about economics. And it didn't provide more of its citizens a pathway out of poverty with nothing but a scornful sneer and a miserly budget.
The voters hold the cards, write Orstein and Mann. "If they can punish ideological extremism at the polls and look skeptically upon candidates who profess to reject all dialogue and bargaining with opponents, then an insurgent outlier party will have some impetus to return to the center. Otherwise, our politics will get worse before it gets better," they write.
We shutter at the notion of U.S. politics becoming more dysfunctional.

The sticker shock of these bits might frighten people off, but they are the highest quality bits I have yet found. Used carefully, they will easily last longer than anything else I've tried, and stay sharp seemingly forever, leaving no fuzzy edges, ever.
Wonderful for stringing and other inlay.
There are other options but none as accurate or clean cutting as these bits!
I recently broke my 1/32 downcut bit and used various alternatives but nothing compares. These bits are the only way to get really clean inlay cuts - easy to see where you are cutting and to get an accurate profile of your inlay tracing. But they are fragile!
I had a few bit that came with my Dremel tool and they are 6 flutes. They cut way too slow. These 2 flute bits that I bought from stewMac cuts so much faster, and not rough at all!
These bits are fantastic. They cut much smoother and cleaner than the non-carbide bits. They are a little on the expensive side for the size of, but in the end are certainly worth it once the inlay work is completed and the customers are happy.
The bits worked great and completely took care of the "fuzzy edge" problem. Thanks!
These are great bits, and you can't do any good inlay work without them.
I love the bit I bought so much I plan on getting more sizes. Great!
What beautiful, sharp little guys these are! The cleanest inlay routing I have ever done.

Mets' P Matt Harvey has successful Tommy John surgery
Pitcher Matt Harvey has undergone successful Tommy John surgery, the Mets announced on Tuesday.
Harvey was a bright spot for the Mets this season, in which he was the starting pitcher for the NL All-Star team and had 2.27 ERA with 191 Ks before being shut down for the season with a partial muscle tear in his right elbow in late August. Harvey initially hoped to rehab the injury without surgery, but later decided to go under the knife.

The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews, who was also schedule to operate on Houston Texans' LB Brian Cushing on Tuesday for a torn LCL.
Harvey is expected to return to the mound in the 2015 season.

Preparing a Budget
- Details
- Created on Saturday, 02 November 2002 13:04
- Written by Susan Capparelle
When preparing a budget keep in mind that budgets may differ in detail depending on the business involved, but all budgets follow certain procedural steps in preparation.
"When doing a budget making projections about how much money (revenue) can be generated using existing facilities and staff at current prices is the first step," said Donna Mitchell, educational instructor and in-house consultant for Marion General Hospital in Marion, Indiana. The next step is to compute expenses. Then compare revenue to expenses. The primary objective of any business is to earn more revenue than is spent on expenses, i.e. make a profit.
Different steps in the budget process may need to be revisited and adjusted until the desired profit has been achieved, according to Mitchell. For example, to increase revenue you may need to increase sales/services or you may need to increase the price of your product, or both. To decrease expenses you may want to decrease wages or the number of employees or reduce the cost of supplies or overhead expenditures. Once you get the net income (profit) where you want it, the budget then becomes a management tool to monitor operational activity and answer questions like, "Are we doing the things we need to do, the way we need to do them to achieve the net income (profit) the organization needs to survive?"
Using the Operational Budget as an example, let's take a look at some of the basic preparation steps. First you will have to have the statistical budget and the statistical assumptions. These statistical estimates or predictions will drive the operational budget, according to Mitchell.
"Once a manager knows an estimated volume of business, he/she has the first piece of information necessary to start to develop a revenue budget and an expense budget," she said. "A change in a volume statistic can affect both the revenue budget and the expense budget."
The second step is to use the statistical budget along with the current fee structure (what you are charging for your services or products) to calculate what the expected revenue will be. Fee structure information should be available from the accounting department.
Step three determines those items that will reduce the expected revenue i.e. discounts, etc. Step four looks at salary and wages and uses core-staffing requirements, proposed operational changes, historical date and personal experience to develop a budget for worked hours and paid hours.
"A miscalculation on salary expense can break a business," said Mitchell. Unfortunately salaries and wages are also one the hardest items to budget for because of all the variables they contain such as, core staffing requirements, overtime, vacation time, sick time, productive time, non-productive time, wage increases, vacancies, staff reductions, staff increases, new positions, positions eliminated, job class changes, pay class changes, bonuses, hour increases and hour decreases.
By applying salary and wage scales, bonus structures, and proposed wage increases/decreases the hourly budget is converted to a dollar value. This is done by determining the number of hours (productive and non-productive) to be paid to the employees for the budgeted time frame. As part of the budget assumptions accounting usually provides an average hourly wage for the business.
Finally, using a spreadsheet, you will have to look at each expense category as a separate calculation using historical data, current information, statistical information, cost factors and other budgetary assumptions. The basic summation of all this is; revenue minus revenue deductions minus expenses equals net income.
"A budget does not succeed or fail. Only people succeed or fail," said Mitchell, who believes that success or failure results from how managers use the budget. If they throw it into a drawer and only pull it out the next time they have to prepare a budget instead of using it as an on-going monitoring tool then the process has been a waste of time and money, she suggests.
"I have worked with managers who have struggled with trying to `see the big picture,' she said. "They are very good at handling details but could not seem to make the operation run smoothly. Working through the budgeting process helped them to begin to see how everything fits together and (they) came to understand that what affects one process will eventually affect the whole operation. Conversely, I have worked with managers who were so focused on end results they failed to see there were improvements that could be made. If they reached their quotas, that was good enough. During the budget process as they began to analyze activity, they began to question process and in some cases discovered ways to improve efficiency, reduce cost and exceed their quotas." According to Mitchell, if doing monthly comparisons between actual activity and budgeted activity creates cost awareness and greater accountability through the organization, provides a reliable mechanism for Senior Management to track operations and helps managers to track and understand the causes of shifts, variances and changes in operational activity, then the budget has served its purpose.
It's important to remember that budgeting is an on-going process. Taking time each month to really analyze actual departmental activity, make notes on variance and document what action was taken will save you a lot of time later on. It will also provide valuable information for managing your department more effectively. As a final word of advice Mitchell says 'don't try and be superman or superwoman. Recognize your limitations and ask for help.'
You are part of a team after all.
- Do your homework! If you use incomplete, inaccurate or just wrong information, the resulting budget is useless.
- Allow enough time. Gathering information, analyzing information, doing projections, number crunching and reviewing for reasonability all take time.
- Understand how your operation really works. How things worked when you worked the line or the floor may not be how they work today. Knowing the difference between official policy and procedure and what's really happening is critical.
- Keep accurate records and documentation. If you don't document changes, shifts or variances in department operations how will you track trends over time? If you don't keep records how will you remember what happened 10 months ago and know if it should be reflected in the budget?
- Do the math. A budget is a mathematical statement. You will have to "crunch the numbers".
- Ask for help. As a departmental manager, your training and strengths are probably not in budgeting. So ask for help from those who do have this training.

Arthur Wright - arthritis?? :/
Twins due in January, and if they're boys, Arthur is one if the names we are loving. However, our surname is Wright. Does Arthur Wright sound too much like arthriris to you? Did you notice it before I brought it up?
If we couldn't use it as a first, we would as a middle, but I REALLY like it and would love to use it.

I think you may be over thinking it to be honest, but I know how it is- I over think everything!
I did not think about it before you said it. I don't think they sounds alike, but after you mentioning it looking at the names written down I see a bit of arthritis. But that it only because you brought it up, I don't think anyone would ever think that!
The name is great! Arthur is a handsome choice, and while it would also be a lovely middle name I think it needs to shine as the first name!
Good luck!19 yr old name nerd, nanny & applied sciences undergrad

My immediate connection was "authors write" which sounds excellent to me.
But that may just be because I have a fairly strong regional accent, and Arthur and author are pronounced almost identically here.

In July, 1877, Negro "exodusters" from Kentucky Established a settlement here in the Promised Land of Kansas which they named Nicodemus. Although the colonists lacked sufficient tools, seed, and money, they managed to survive the first winter, some by selling buffalo bones, others by working for the Kansas Pacific railroad at Elllis, 35 miles away. In 1880 the all-Negro community had a population of more than 400.
Their industry brought approving notices in Kansas newspapers. One story concerned a farmer who with one cow "broke and improved twelve acres of prairie and cultivated eight acres of corn.; his wife drives the cow and keeps the flies off." Another spaded a four-foot hedge row around 160 acres of land. Edward P. McCabe, who joined the colony in 1878, served two terms as state auditor, 1883-1887, the first Negro to hold a major state office.
By 1887 Nicodemus had churches, stores, lodges, a school and two newspapers, but its future was blighted when a projected railroad failed to materialize. Nevertheless, these pioneers who built so much with so little hold a proud place in the Kansas story.
For more information about Nicodemus see:

Bradford's own Jack Kuzmyk will be watching the World Junior Hockey Championships with particular interest.
That's because Kuzmyk, a rugged 6-ft.-2 in., 217 lb. defenceman for the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, has played with or against most of the junior hockey stars who will hit the ice this week in Russia.
Kuzmyk, 19, is predicting Canada will bring home the gold medal. He should know.
Jack's current Sarnia Sting teammates playing in the World Juniors include Alex Galchenyuk, Connor Murphy, both playing with Team USA, as well as Nick Latta who is playing for Team Germany. Other former Sting teammates include Brett Ritchie, lacing up for Team Canada, and Nail Yakupov who is playing for Team Russia.
As far as other players now on the Team Canada roster, Jack has played with goalie Jordan Binnington, one his former teammates while he was playing in Owen Sound. In minor hockey, Jack played with Ryan Murphy on York-Simcoe Express. They were often defence partners and played together for five years.
He played on the same team as Malcolm Subban, one of the other Team Canada goalies, when they were in Atom. Malcolm's dad, Karl, was the coach. At that time, Malcolm was a forward, who later switched to goalie, and is now one of the best young goalies in the world.
In total, Jack has played with or against 11 of the Team Canada members, not to mention the other international junior stars. "They can win it," Jack said confidently. "Go, Canada, Go!"

I barely remember my dad being around.
Mostly because he wasn't around, I guess.
From the time I was a baby until the time I was 7 or 8, my little brother and I would wake up for school and he would be gone, off to work. Then in the evening, when we were in our pajamas and our little heads were damp shampooed nests, we'd sit in front of the TV just before bed and in would come my dad. Our dad.
We didn't have to check and see; we knew what was what. We ran over to him to give him the same kind of welcome home hugs and kisses that lots of kids throw at their dads the moment they walk through the evening door, but mixed in with the scent of sawdust and cigarettes was always that bold, nasty whiff of booze.
Then one day when I was nine or so, my mom took my brother and me by the hand, bundled us up in our snowboots and winter gear, and marched us out into a blizzard for the long walk around the corner to my grandparent's house. And that was that. We never lived with my dad again.
A year or so later, he and his girlfriend were forced by the courts to move out of the home his kids had been born in.
I saw him two or three more times after that, afternoons at a distant house he was renting.
And then, without any fuss at all, he disappeared for 25 years.
I lived a lot of life while my dad was gone.
He never saw me play third base for my Little League team; he never talked me down out of a tree after I struck out four times in one game. At 12, when I began to get fanatically interested in fishing (something he had loved), he was nowhere to be found. I would have loved to go with him and learn how to catch bass with him, but the truth is, at that point I didn't even know if he was alive or not.
Years came and went and I had a few girlfriends that he never met. I went to college and he had no clue. I flunked out and he might have been in outer space for all I knew.
I joined a band with my brother and traveled all over the country and to Europe and made it on to the TV and into magazines and worked really hard to make something of myself, something people who knew me and loved me could be proud of.
But by that time I had forgotten his voice, what it even sounded like.
As far as I was concerned, I only had one parent in this world, my mom, who had run the long hard race alone.
One day when I was 36 my wife Monica handed me a new copy of What To Expect When You're Expecting with a positive pregnancy test as a bookmark.
It took me a second to figure it out. Duh.
And then I cried.
I mean, who wouldn't, really?
It was the greatest event of my life and so many things went through my mind in those dizzying moments that followed, but the very first thing I remember saying to myself was that I would never do what my own dad did. I would never be like him. Nothing, I swore on my guts, NOTHING would ever keep me away from being with my baby, with my child.
There would be no excuses when it came to fatherhood.
I might trip and fail trying other things but when it came to being a dad, there would be no reasons why I couldn't be around. I was militant about it, I guess. But I think it was because, for the first time in my life, I had to allow myself to feel the hurt you feel when you finally realize that one of your parents just hadn't really cared much.
I had to promise myself that the pain stopped with me, forever.
And that is a promise that I have kept so far, with Violet, age 4, and Henry, who is 2. And guess what?
It's been incredibly easy to do, to love them and be there with them every step of the way.
Just really, really easy.
And I know exactly why.

Mobile Unit in Need of Funding
As a fundraiser, donors often ask me how their money is being spent. I can tell them about the high standards IPPF/WHR maintains to keep our administrative and fundraising costs low or about the financial transparency that allows them to access information about where they money is being allocated, but this is a little impersonal.
Recently, I traveled to Colombia and gained a very personalized perspective on how donor money is being invested in the poor and marginalized in our region. First, let me tell you, it takes about $2,800 to run a mobile health clinic in regions of Colombia with little or no other option for healthcare. A mobile unit is medically equipped and will provide services to hundreds of people in one day.
On this day the clinic is set up in a schoolhouse that has been cleaned and prepped for the day's events. As you can see in the attached slideshow, this is not easy terrain nor is it easy to turn a schoolroom into a viable, sanitized, private clinic space. All of the supplies must be carried in, including water. The work that is done before they even begin seeing clients is enormous and physically exhausting.
Before the clinic is completely set-up, entire families have already started to line up to await treatment. Teenage mothers receive contraceptives and counseling to prevent future pregnancies, and some women receive their first Pap Smear. On any given day at a mobile clinic, two or three women will likely be referred to receive additional medical care when cervical cancer or other life-threatening diseases are discovered.
This woman is a mother of three and you can see it in her eyes that she is tired. Her husband is in jail and she is alone as a parent, and unfortunately, she is also not alone as a statistic. Today, she'll receive contraceptive counseling and the birth control method of her choice so that she is empowered to choose when or if she'll give birth again. It's a small, personal victory – one of hundreds that happened on this overcast day in the hills outside Bogota.
Thank you for making mobile health units possible. It's quite touching to see this work on the ground and to be surrounded by such committed doctors, nurses and other health workers who manage these clinics. Unfortunately, units like this one in Los Altos de la Florida are in jeopardy of being discontinued because of lack of funding. While other units remain active in other countries they remain one of the most underfunded areas of our work.

When cooking, it's hard to estimate portions of pasta, especially when poured straight out of the box. Pulling out a kitchen scale or measuring cups will help keep your serving sizes in check. A reasonable pasta portion is 2 ounces dry, which works out to about 1 cup cooked.

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
‹ Countries
Country Analysis Note
- Brunei is a substantial producer and exporter of crude oil and natural gas for Asia and relies on hydrocarbon revenues for nearly two-thirds of its gross domestic product. Through its long-standing joint venture with Shell, Brunei has produced oil for several decades, primarily from two large, mature fields—Southwest Ampa and Champion—in the offshore Baram Delta. After reaching a recent peak of 220,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2006, Brunei's oil production has declined to 141,000 bbl/d in 2012.
- Brunei has an interest in hydrocarbon development in the South China Sea (SCS), although it has not made any formal claims to the hotly contested Spratly or Paracel Islands. Brunei produced about 120,000 bbl/d of crude oil and condensates and 400 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas from the more shallow waters of the SCS in 2011. An offshore settlement with Malaysia in 2009 allows Brunei to explore untapped deepwater areas in the Baram Delta and issue more production sharing contracts to help prop up oil and gas production.
- Despite the recent decline in production, Brunei is the largest net exporter of total oil liquids in the Asia-Pacific region given the country's minimal domestic consumption. In 2012, Brunei's net oil exports were around 125,000 bbl/d, mostly in the form of crude oil sent to key Asian oil consumers. Brunei plans to expand its refinery capacity, as Chinese company Zhejiang Hengyi Group is constructing a new refinery with a capacity of 135,000 bbl/d that is scheduled to come online by 2015. This new facility could shift the dynamics of the country's crude exports in favor of consuming more crude and exporting more petroleum products.
- Brunei produced 439 Bcf of dry natural gas in 2011, mostly from Southwest Ampa and other fields associated with oil production. Although domestic gas demand has steadily increased in the past decade, Brunei still exports on average more than three-quarters of its output. Brunei has been a stable and long-term LNG exporter to Japan and South Korea from its 5-train, 950 million cubic feet per day Lumut LNG liquefaction plant, sending out about 330 Bcf in 2011. Oil company Total made significant gas and condensate discoveries in Block B which could bolster Brunei's gas reserve base and sustain its production levels.
- Brunei relies on natural gas to fuel nearly all of its electricity generation. However, the country is seeking to diversify its installed capacity, import more electricity through a potential transmission line from Malaysia, expand renewable generation capacity, and improve electricity efficiencies to conserve its natural gas for exports.

Calvin Wrighten was my sales associate and that guy did a great job! I had been to 5 different car dealers before I went to Galeana. He got me the exact car I wanted without Hassle. Calvin even came to pick me up from my restaurant because I was buying the car for my wife as a surprise. I would highly recommend Him and Galeana!
Could not have asked for a better experience..:) – I can not express how much I appreciate the wonderful experience I had at Galeana on Greystone. I dealt with Scott, Bob and Tom. I hate buying a car more than getting a root canal (and that is saying a lot). These men made buying a car easy and all around pretty fun. They knew this car would be past down to my daughter in two years and they never lost sight of my plan or intrest the whole time. I LOVE my Kia Spectra and I was able to get it in blue, my daugters favorite color..:) Thank you again Scott, Bob and Tom!!!! I will be back for MY CAR and will send people your way without hesitation.
Service Department – I would like to thank the staff of Galeana for their assistance with my car. They showed professional and was very helpful..
My Galeana Experience – I recently bought a car from the Galeana in Columbia and I have to say that it was the best car buying experience I've ever had. The salespeople I encountered treated my almost like family! The service department there is equally as excellent. I now only go to that dealership for service as I have found it fast and extremly efficient. I would recommend this Dealership to Anyone!

After the pre-battle tintinnabulation is complete, please stare in awe and wondrous presentiment at what is conceivably the best Pokemon in the entire game. His stats are unrivaled; versatility unmatched, and impact unquestionable. As ordained at the shaping of the universe, His purest forme is somewhat deficient in defensive synergy. A lone weakness to Fighting-type attacks is tempered with a sole immunity to Ghost-type attacks. But whether wiping His many creations from the fabric of existence as Extreme Killer or standing as their resolute guardian as Wallceus, the God of Pokemon knows no bounds. Dare not incur Arceus's divine wrath, or else the consequences shall be severe and merciless, and life shall become but an evanescent wisp.
Thanks to Extreme Killer's very good bulk and the priority of His ExtremeSpeed, He is very difficult to revenge kill. Combine it with a base 120 Attack stat, the ease of setting up a Swords Dance, and STAB on said ExtremeSpeed, and you get one of the best late-game sweepers in the entire game, capable of decimating offensive teams and cleaning up weakened defensive teams with ease.
Swords Dance will enhance the power of His STAB ExtremeSpeed to incredible levels. With just a Silk Scarf and Swords Dance boost, ExtremeSpeed is more than capable enough to OHKO even the deadliest of Uber titans, such as Kyogre, Kyurem-W, Mewtwo, Latias, Palkia, and Reshiram.
To repel the Ghost-types that can come in on ExtremeSpeed, Shadow Claw is the preferred option in the third slot for its high reliability. For those that crave more power, Shadow Force is another option. Its power after a Swords Dance is so extreme that even physically defensive Giratina risks being OHKOed without any hazards provided Arceus is Adamant and holding Life Orb; Giratina-O, Ghost Arceus, and Wobbuffet are easily OHKOed. Shadow Force also evades crippling support moves such as Will-O-Wisp during its charge turn, though the charge turn in itself can prove most inconvenient against Lugia and Normal-type Pokemon. For His last slot, Earthquake eradicates the Rock- and Steel-types that could otherwise take an ExtremeSpeed, such as Dialga or Heatran. Brick Break, though less powerful, breaks through troublesome screens and is significantly more effective against Bronzong, Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Wallceus. Recover improves His longevity and allows Him to act as a pivot at the detriment of coverage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Standing up to the might of fearsome Uber titans, Wallceus can function as a nearly unbreakable wall. His Defense is so formidable that He is one of the best answers to even Extreme Killer. Although His Normal typing isn't exactly the holy grail of defensive typings, He stands out from His other formes with a lone weakness and the ability to hold Leftovers.
To keep the physical attackers at bay, Will-O-Wisp is the preferred option. It disables nearly every physical sweeper in Ubers—Groudon, Rayquaza, physical Arceus, Garchomp, and Zekrom, to name a few—with a crippling burn. However, Will-O-Wisp's accuracy is shaky and does nothing to Fire-type Pokemon like Ho-Oh. If these issues are bothersome, Reflect is a better option. Although it lasts only five turns and can be canceled by Brick Break, Reflect does not miss, benefits the whole team, and can affect physical attackers behind a Substitute. Recover provides reliable recovery and lengthens His staying power, while Return provides a solid STAB attack that increases offensive pressure. It also enables Him to defeat Extreme Killer without the need to phaze.
For His last slot, both options are useful for their utility against setup sweepers. Roar is the preferred option as it immediately phazes any threat that tries to set up, most notably physical attackers that have been neutralized by Will-O-Wisp or Reflect. It also weakens most switch-ins provided that there is sufficient entry hazard support. For those willing to take a longer approach, Perish Song is a better option. Although it takes three turns to have an effect, Perish Song will virtually guarantee an eventual switch and will place an inevitable end to last-Pokemon setup sweepers such as Calm Mind Arceus.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
As befitting His stature, Arceus can utilize a Choice Band set to devastating effect. His value is not only in His ability to revenge kill threats such as Darkrai, Ho-Oh, and Rayquaza with a stronger STAB ExtremeSpeed, but also His ability to lure the common checks of Extreme Killer.
Utilizing the fact that Arceus is often assumed to be Extreme Killer, Bandceus can Trick a Choice Band to the incoming check, granting an opportunity for another sweeper to press their newfound advantage. After being Tricked a Choice Band, defensive answers like Skarmory and Lugia are turned into complete liabilities. However, Trick must be used with caution, for it is generally a one-way street. As such, it is critical that prior to using Trick, double switching is used to confirm the intended target is actually sent in.
Bandceus's remaining slots are dependent on His intended role. If sweeping potential is desired after His Choice Band has been Tricked, Swords Dance and one additional coverage move allows Him to take on a persona similar to Extreme Killer, albeit limited in coverage. Coverage moves can include Earthquake, which deals with Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon, or Shadow Claw, which deals with Ghost-types. If better coverage at the cost of sweeping potential is desired, both Earthquake and Shadow Claw combined will suffice.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
With His extraordinary movepool and His second to none stats, Arceus can fill almost any role. He could run a Calm Mind or Work Up set to utilize His excellent stats. He could run a Perish trapping set with Perish Song and Whirlpool. He could run a dual screens set in combination with Light Clay. He could run a Choice Specs set, a specially inclined version of the Choice Band set. Or He could run a Swords Dance Last Resort set to obliterate anything that is not a Ghost-type. For all intents and purposes, the choice is entirely up to you.
Unfortunately, due to Species Clause, only a single Arceus is allowed on a team at a time. As such, the opportunity cost of running such sets will be high. Indeed, these sets are unorthodox for a reason: the Calm Mind and Work Up sets have horrible STAB coverage in comparison to other Arceus formes; Perish trapping is extremely unreliable in Ubers; dual screens is best left to other Pokemon; the Choice Specs set lacks power plus utility; and the Last Resort set requires a considerable amount of support. That being said, if these sets are of particular interest, then feel free to use them.
Checks and Counters
Should you see Arceus on Team Preview, it is critical to rule out the presence of Extreme Killer before letting your answers to Him become compromised. While there is no true counter to Extreme Killer outside of Unaware Quagsire, there are four that can easily deal with Him for the most part: Skarmory, Wallceus, Great Wall Giratina, and Multiscale Lugia. All four of these checks can either stall Extreme Killer to death should they be healthy or phaze Him in the scenario that they are weakened or unwilling to risk a possible miss. However, even the toughest of checks can fall to the right move or item, albeit in circumstantial situations. Toxic Skarmory falls to non-rain Overheats and Fire Blasts and has to be wary of last-Pokemon +6 Brick Breaks. Faster, boosted, Life Orb Brick Breaks overpower Wallceus, while last-Pokemon Lum Berry Brick Break variants are problematic should He be running the shaky Will-O-Wisp. Similarly, Giratina bows down to a boosted Shadow Force, last-Pokemon Lum Berry Shadow Claw variants, or last-Pokemon Recover variants with Shadow Claw. Reflect + Toxic Lugia is overwhelmed by boosted Life Orb Shadow Claws after Stealth Rock. All of them must also watch out for the rare Bandceus that can Trick a crippling Choice Band.
Rather than pseudo-countering Extreme Killer, it is easier to keep Him in check using multiple Pokemon through concerted means. For example, although Choice Scarf Terrakion cannot switch into Earthquake, it can easily survive a boosted ExtremeSpeed and revenge kill with Close Combat. However, should Arceus manage to survive, a combination check can be used to finish Him off. Offensive Ghost Arceus is an excellent example, as His immunity to ExtremeSpeed allows Him to revenge kill weakened Extreme Killer. With smart combinations of both strong and lesser checks, the application of high pressure to limit setup opportunities, and careful conservation of these aforementioned checks, it is more than possible to deal with Extreme Killer.
Thanks to priority Will-O-Wisp and Foul Play, Sableye is an excellent check. However, it will lose to sun-boosted Life Orb Overheat or Lum Berry Earthquake variants after Stealth Rock. Support Ghost Arceus can be used similarly to Wallceus, but the lack of Leftovers, a strong attacking move, and His weakness to Shadow Force and Shadow Claw makes Him the lesser check. Physically defensive Groudon and Hippowdon are very effective phazers, but can be worn down. Rock and Steel Arceus can also use a support set like Ghost Arceus, but the weakness to Earthquake and Brick Break is quite unfortunate. Likewise, Fighting Arceus favors an approach similar to Terrakion, but obtains reliable recovery and bulk at the cost of power and the resistance to ExtremeSpeed. Thankfully, Arceus formes that carry Plates are very effective against Bandceus, though they dislike taking super effective attacks.
Although it loses to Brick Break and non-rain Overheats and Fire Blasts, a physically defensive Bronzong can stall many variants. Along the same lines as Terrakion and Fighting Arceus, other revenge killers can include Choice Scarf users such as Dialga and Heatran or Swift Swim users such as Kabutops and Omastar. However, they are generally less effective due to their weather dependency or lack of power. A physically defensive Giratina-O variant can survive any boosted move bar Shadow Force or possibly Dragon Claw and either Will-O-Wisp or phaze Him out. It also has an immunity to Trick, which is handy against Bandceus. Choice Band Landorus-T and Scizor can tank a boosted attack and inflict severe damage or possibly OHKO with Superpower, but have to be perfectly conserved. An utmost conserved physically defensive Forretress can triumph using Toxic and Pain Split, but will still lose to Fire Blast and Overheat. It also loses to Life Orb or Lum Berry Earthquake variants, but is still able to cripple Him. Similarly, physically defensive Ferrothorn is an annoyance with Leech Seed and Iron Barbs, but performs best when used as a combination check. If all else fails, faster Pokemon that are immune or resistant to ExtremeSpeed can attempt to use Destiny Bond, Trick, or Explosion to stop His sweep, but it will almost always result in their loss. Similarly, although no Intimidate user can truly stand up to Extreme Killer, the Attack drop might allow others to defeat Him.
It should be noted that as Wallceus is more inclined to defeating answers with attrition, He necessitates a very different response than that of Extreme Killer. Thanks to STAB Fighting-type attacks and Recover, Fighting Arceus is Wallceus's best counter. Fire Arceus is similar and has an immunity to burn, but lacks Fighting Arceus's consistent damage. Despite its vulnerability to attrition and lack of reliable recovery, stallbreaker Heatran shuts down any Wallceus that lacks the obscure Earthquake thanks to Taunt and Toxic.
Any other answer to Wallceus is either easily worn down, can be phazed before significant damage is done, or is vulnerable to Return. Magic Bounce Xatu can switch into any move besides Return after Stealth Rock or Ice Beam and proceed to completely wall Arceus. Heracross can take advantage of a possible Attack boost through Guts, allowing it to pulverize Him with Close Combat. Reshiram and Victini roast Arceus with their powerful STAB Fire-type attacks. Blaziken smashes Him with Hi Jump Kick or sun-boosted Flare Blitz, but has to be mindful of Reflect. Strong special attackers such as Kyogre and Kyurem-W are particularly threatening due to Wallceus's lack of specialization against special attackers. Should the weather be sun, Ho-Oh can switch into any move but Return after Stealth Rock and proceed to deal considerable damage with Sacred Fire. However, Reflect variants actually wall Ho-Oh despite the sun boost, though the possible burn is an annoyance. Support Pokemon that can inflict detrimental status effects like Toxic poison, preferably with a method of alleviating status, can be quite effective against Wallceus. However, they are significantly less viable against Refresh variants.
