New Guatemalan Cooperative
Santa Avelina waterfall.
Delivering coffee for processing.
Checking coffee in the field.
This year a group of small coffee growers called Maya Ixil joined the SMBC's Bird Friendly® coffee program. The group, from El Quiche, Guatemala, has offices in the remote "aldea" or village of Santa Avelina, and farms at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 meters above sea level (3,900 to 5,200 feet). When the group formed in 1998, it had 28 members. Today, 150 families belong to the cooperative, with men and women alike farming coffee.
The group's goal is:
"The developments of coffee producers dedicated to quality and the stewardship of the environment."
Maya Ixil's farms extend throughout the region called Ixil Triangle, marked geographically by the communities of San Juan Cotzál, Santa Maria Nebáj, and San Gaspar Chajúl. The violence of the 1980's hit this area heavily and these farmers' success in forming a working association to produce quality coffee is testament to their pluck and perseverance.
In addition to coffee, Maya Ixil also produces organic honey. Both these products are also fair trade certified.
We are very proud to have the members of Maya Ixil associated with the Bird Friendly® coffee program. We send them our very best wishes in linking their dedication to conscientious land stewardship to the market place.

Joke or gimmick characters can be found in nearly every video game, and Pokemon is no exception. Ever since the dawn of RBY, Pokemon such as Farfetch'd, Unown, and Castform were stamped with a "gimmick" label on their foreheads and flung to the lowest possible tier, never to see the light of usage. Game Freak has not grown merciful over time, as BW introduced even more joke Pokemon, and it would appear that Stunfisk is one of them.
However, Stunfisk is different because it has two special qualities to distinguish itself from other gimmick Pokemon: 109 / 84 / 99 defenses and a unique Electric / Ground typing. As Stunfisk slowly fought its way up the usage ladder, players started to notice that Stunfisk could easily sponge blows from NU powerhouses and bite back with moves such as Discharge, Scald, and Earth Power. Stunfisk even surprised a few players by proving that it could run an effective lure with Choice Specs. Unfortunately, there are still many obstacles that prevent it from becoming the king of NU. Stunfisk has weaknesses to Ground-, Water-, Grass-, and Ice-type attacks, all of which are common in NU, and also also has trouble breaking through Regice, Altaria, and other special walls. However, as long as Stunfisk has teammates that can cover its weaknesses and dent these special walls, Stunfisk is sure to leave a lasting impression on both you and your opponent.
Despite its initial appearance, Stunfisk's great defensive stats and its Electric / Ground typing makes it a lovely check to Pokemon such as Braviary, and also a brilliant Stealth Rock setter. Stunfisk can also inflict many status conditions, such as paralysis, on foes. First off is its Static ability, which works well against physical attackers, and is also one reason why this set is more geared towards physical defense rather than special defense. Discharge is a great way to inflict even more paralysis, especially on special attackers or frequent users of Earthquake. While not technically a status condition, Earth Power's chance to lower the foe's Special Defense, combined with STAB and decent coverage, makes it an excellent move to use. Scald is chosen because it can hit Ground-type Pokemon and comes with a high burn rate. The only downside to using Scald is that physical attackers are more likely to already be paralyzed due to Static. This is by no means a bad thing, but there can be times where you would rather have the foe burned instead of paralyzed. If paralysis and burn are not enough for you, then fear not! Toxic allows Stunfisk to inflict yet another status condition, and is its best option against defensive Pokemon who can shrug off Stunfisk's attacks. However, Stealth Rock is usually more useful, unless something else on your team is using it already.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Stunfisk is one the lucky few BW Pokemon that can use Sleep Talk. The combination of Rest and Sleep Talk gives Stunfisk a reliable method of recovery, allowing it to sponge even more hits than the defensive set. Rest also removes any nasty status conditions, essentially making them a non-issue. Meanwhile, Stunfisk can use Sleep Talk to fire off attacks while resting. Discharge is a fairly strong Electric-type STAB move that allows Stunfisk to spread paralysis. Earth Power is a nice option in the fourth slot due to STAB and arguably better coverage. Scald can be used instead for its high burn rate, which makes Stunfisk even more difficult to take down.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Stunfisk is often seen as a defensive Pokemon with an adequate, but certainly not stellar, base Special Attack, so many players will usually send in either a wall or frail sweeper to dispatch it. However, what your opponents did not realize was that Stunfisk becomes a dangerous lure with Choice Specs? Did your opponent send out Regirock to wall Stunfisk? Choice Specs Stunfisk can OHKO or 2HKO these Pokemon and more with its STAB Thunderbolt and Earth Power, both of which can deal heavy damage to any Pokemon that do not resist it or pack a lot of Special Defense. Surf hits Rotom-S and is a nice way to dispatch Ground-type Pokemon that try to switch into a Thunderbolt. The last two options are for coverage. Sludge Wave may seem like an odd move to use because Poison-type attacks have poor coverage. However, Sludge Wave is Stunfisk's strongest attack against Grass-type Pokemon. Hidden Power Ice deals less damage to Grass-type Pokemon, but is noteworthy for having a high chance to 2HKO defensive Altaria. Just remember that unless your opponent is a complete idiot, he or she will not fall for the same lure twice, so make sure that Stunfisk's initial attack counts.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Outside of Rest, the only other recovery move that Stunfisk can use is Pain Split. The only problem with Pain Split is that Stunfisk has a high base HP stat, so it may not recover a lot of health if the move is used against a Pokemon with a lower base HP stat. You should avoid using Thunder Wave because Stunfisk already has a high chance of inflicting paralysis with Static (and Discharge), making Thunder Wave a waste of a moveslot. The same thing applies for Yawn: while putting foes to sleep sounds heavenly, Toxic is arguably more important due to its ability to cripple walls. Stunfisk could theoretically do well with a Curse set, since it has wonderful physical moves such as Bounce, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Payback. However, Stunfisk's abysmal base 66 Attack stat means that it will require a lot of boosts to break through walls.
Checks and Counters
Grass-types, Grass-types, GRASS-TYPES. Defensive and RestTalk Stunfisk can barely dent these Pokemon, while they can quickly defeat Stunfisk with their STAB super effective Grass-type attacks. These Grass-type Pokemon need to be careful around Choice Specs Stunfisk, but can come in safely after it's locked itself into an ineffective move or KOed a foe because Stunfisk has a terrible Speed stat—even Torterra can outspeed it! Substitute + Calm Mind users can use Substitute to evade Toxic and use Calm Mind until Stunfisk's attacks bounce right off. Pokemon who typically invest EVs in Special Defense, such as Altaria, Articuno, Regice, Regirock, and Meganium can shrug off blows from the first two sets and either set up or phaze Stunfisk out. However, Choice Specs Stunfisk can easily 2HKO these Pokemon with the exception of Regice. Finally, Stunfisk will fold under repeated attacks from powerful sweepers. Gardevoir, Sawk, Swellow, and other powerhouses can quickly dispatch Stunfisk before it even has time to react.

The Biology of Multiple Sclerosisby Gregory J. Atkins Sandra Amor Jean M. Fletcher Kingston H.G. Mills
Multiple sclerosis is the most common debilitating neurological disease in people under the age of forty in the developed world. Many publications cover medical and clinical approaches to the disease; however, The Biology of Multiple Sclerosis provides a clear and concise up-to-date overview of the scientific literature on the various theories of MS pathogenesis. Covering the main elements of scientific research into multiple sclerosis, the book contains chapters on the neuropathology of the disease as well as an account of the most extensively used animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The book contains chapters regarding the role of viruses in the development of multiple sclerosis. Viruses have long been implicated and chapters on animal models based on virus infection, as well as their possible role in the etiology of MS, are included. Of interest to MS researchers, the book is written to also be of value to postgraduate and medical students.

The United States African Development Foundation provides grants of up to $250,000 to community groups and enterprises that benefit marginalized groups in Africa.
Marginalized groups are people that have significant needs that are not being currently addressed by existing governments programs, NGOs, or other international development efforts. USADF measures grant success in terms of jobs, increased incomes levels, and improved social conditions.
USADF is achieving measurable results. USADF's active portfolio consists of 336 project grants and 100 small grants. These grants affect an estimated 1,500,000 people in marginalized communities by providing people with the opportunity to engage in the development process and gain economic, food security and social benefits. More than $155 million dollars in new economic activities will be generated by these active projects.
A five year $10 million grant program in the Lake Turkana region of Kenya is an example of USADF's program focus.
The African Development Foundation Act of 1980 established a new agency with a unique mission to by-pass layers of government inefficiencies by working directly with the most needy communities in Africa. USADF programs respond to local project requests by actively engage the local community group or enterprise in the design and implementation of the projects. This ensures that outcomes will best address the real community needs.
Why USADF?
USADF's unique mission is captured in its core operating principles:
(1) Model high effectiveness and low overhead operations.
(2) Focus program activities on marginalized communities in Africa.
(3) Invest in Africans and their ideas through participatory development.
(4) Ensure projects produce long term social and economic results.
(5) Promote African led and managed field project support.
(6) Achieve the highest levels of openness and transparency.
(7) Support and develop an equal oppurtunity, results driven staff that rewards hard work, dedication to the mission, and personal success.

Creative Minds—Out of School is an exciting new program created to engage K-5 children in high-quality art exploration and art-making in afterschool and out-of-school time settings. Creative Minds is designed to create an environment that builds each child's confidence in his or her own creative abilities, and foster respect for the creative abilities of classmates. Each lesson is developed to strengthen arts-based, inquiry-based teaching skills and be easily used by educators, regardless of their previous art experience.
Aims and Content
Through sharing ideas and possibilities, children come to respect the work of others, as well as that of different artists and cultures. When explaining their work and talking about observations of classmate's work, children are acquiring and using descriptive language and engaging in analytical thinking skills. School-aged children are naturally motivated and excited about learning. Creative Minds—Out of School curriculum capitalizes on their curiosity and readiness to create.
Program consists of:
Group Activities
Each unit culminates in a group activity that evolves naturally from the exploration. Each activity includes an exhibition of artwork that brings the group together involving parents and community in celebration.
STEM Connections
Each unit poses questions to connect the art activities to learning in science, technology, and engineering.

Just 15 minutes from the airport in Phoenix rests the secluded and intimate Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa, nestled into the north slope of the mountain, gracefully echoing the stark beauty of the desert landscape. The atmosphere is exclusive but relaxed, combining the highest-end offerings with the most down-to-earth staff for an experience that leaves guests looking forward to their next visit. In fact, says Director of Sales Debra Reasy, many of her corporate groups are repeat customers.
The Sanctuary is celebrating its 10th year as a resort, but its history extends back decades as a tennis retreat, first as the Paradise Valley Racquet Club and then John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch. Westroc Hospitality took over management in 1999, and reopened the property as Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain in 2002 after a complete renovation.
Popular for board meetings, executive retreats, and smaller corporate meetings and incentives, the resort has 105 mountain and spa casitas between 500 and 1,500 square feet in area. Seven private homes also are available and often used by groups for hospitality. One of the resort's three boardrooms is in a private home—the Casa Montana.
Unique Spaces
As it hugs the mountain, the resort presents a continuity between indoors and out, from the infinity-edge pool, to the Edge bar, to Elements restaurant. Even the 3,500-square-foot Views Ballroom has floor-to-ceiling windows and a wraparound terrace to offer your meeting that rare added benefit: fresh air!
And have you ever heard of an "infinity edge lawn"? It's a fitting description for the setting outside the resort owner's private home high up on Camelback Mountain. Corporate groups can get permission to hold dinners or receptions here, with al fresco seating on a lawn that seems to disappear as the valley view spreads out before you.
For another memorable final night option, choose Praying Monk, an indoor/outdoor private dining area with beautiful views of the rock formation from which the room gets its name as well as the Paradise Valley below. Sliding glass walls and retractable skylights allow warm night breezes and starlight to become part of the experience. As they enter the dining area, guests pass through a wine corridor that displays nearly one thousand bottles. The room accommodates 60 diners or 100 guests for a reception.
And for a truly elite experience, as many as 12 guests can enjoy the new private dining room known as XII. As guests gather, pull the curtains back to reveal a glass wall offering a view into Sanctuary's state-of-the-art kitchen.
The spa offers 12 indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, a meditation garden, lap pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness center that is generously sized with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jim and Gail Scott purchased Napili Bay in January of 2004. Times flies especially when you are having fun! We have remodeled both kitchen and bath, scraped off the popcorn ceiling and we have recessed lighting and 2 relocated ceiling fans.
We have had so much fun remodeling and enjoying our charming little unit. We are happy, when you are happy and we love to help you with your vacation and hear from you afterwards. Our goal is for you to have a perfect vacation!
Our family loves Hawaii from the perfect all year round weather, and the laid back atmosphere, to the humility that is part of the Hawaiian culture. Maui No Ka OI (Maui is the best!).
We bought a Beachside Napili Bay #116 because is was under a 30 second walk to the beach gate, it was small and quaint and away from the commercialized areas such as Kihei.

Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea has extended his stay with the Premiership club after signing a deal until the end of the 2015/16 season.
O'Shea's coaching colleagues, head coach John Kingston and skills coach Collin Osborne have also signed similar long term deals.
This group of coaches has overseen the most successful period in the history of Harlequins in the professional era winning four trophies in the past three seasons - the Amlin Challenge Cup in 2011, the Aviva Premiership title in 2012, and the Aviva A League and LV= Cup in 2013.
The same coaches have also been responsible for bringing through an exceptional group of talented, England qualified players from Academy to senior squad levels. Earlier this year the club provided the captains of the England senior team (Chris Robshaw), the England U20 World Cup winning team (Jack Clifford) and the England U18 team (James Chisholm).
Commenting on his contract extension with the club, O'Shea said: "I am very privileged to be asked to continue as Director of Rugby at Harlequins and would like to thank the club's owners and the Board for this opportunity.
"Every day I go into the club I meet a group of coaches, players and support staff that wants to be the best they can be and wants to bring success to a club that belongs at the top of the game.
"We are ambitious to ensure that what we are building here is a lasting legacy, that we play rugby in a style that our supporters enjoy and is true to the tradition of this club, a club that will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2016,"
Harlequins CEO David Ellis said the club were glad to hold on to the coaches.
"We are delighted to have retained the services of the coaching team that has delivered the most successful period in the professional history of this great club,' he said.
Their extensive experience of managing players at the top end of the game in this country has been fundamental to Harlequins' recent progress; I am confident that will continue given the quality of young English talent we have coming through our player development programme."

I received my Ninja today and one of the pieces arrived defective (the larger top attachment which the Ninja needs to attach to in order to blend). The smaller pieces arrived in working condition, so I tested it out and it was great! It turned ice into snow, it chopped...it did everything the description said it would. I just got off the phone with Overstock and they are sending me out a replacement, immediately...even before receiving the defective one (which I will send out tomorrow morning). The representative e-mailed me a shipping label right away and a brand new order number for my new Ninja. This was my first time having to return something to Overstock, so I was a bit defensive at first when calling in, but after seeing how nice and cordial the associate was and after she said she had already placed a new order for me, I couldn't believe it. I have never experienced such a high level of customer service. I gave this product five stars based on my expectations for my replacement and for my interaction with Overstock customer service. With this kind of customer service, I will continue to be a loyal customer for many years to come. Thanks!
The ninja is amazing. It chops almost anythiing is seconds and chops evenly. It will make snow out of ice cubes easily. Chicken salads, turlkey salads will be ready in seconds. You will need to learn when to hold down the control or when to pulse. With some experience you will get it right. You will not know what you did without it. Warning: The blades are very sharp so wash them carefully, place in drainboard and then put the container over it to dry it all. I do alot of cooking and this appliance is GREAT
I really like the two rows of blades. I make smoothies using frozen spinach, kale, berries and fresh apples. I find that do not have to open the blender and stir it to remove my frozen veggies trapped under the blades. Everything is blended into a perfect product. I also make fresh hash browns in a flash. Love it love it! You get so many attachments in three different sizes. It is too much to keep on my counter top. I saved the box to store it all. I can not believe you get so much for so little cash. Consumer reports wrote about this product giving it very high grade better or as good blenders costing hundreds of dollars.
It's a wildly good blender. Easy clean up and will turn anything into mush. I have had several more expensive units and none were as good as this one. Also great as a food processor. Consumer reports rated this unit tied for the best along with a $400 unit and said this one did everything that one did besides make hot soup.
I use this nearly every day. It works better than the reviews and doesn't have the drawbacks of a traditional blender. My old blender was hard to empty but not the Ninja.
This model was sold out, and I was glad to find it here on Overstock. It's the top-rated on Consumer Reports. My wife has enjoyed using it for about 3 months now. It's very versatile and lightweight and not too loud.
What a perfect appliance. I bought it to process smaller batches of things and it is wonderful. It processes evenly and smoothly. Clean up is easy and storage is easy too. I great item for smaller jobs.
The product works great and you can't beat this price anywhere.
It took me awhile to realize that tops do NOT twist off - they pull off. The instructions should make that clear. I've only used the blender to cream cottage cheese. The chopper does its job. I used it to shred cheese, and while it was more little chunks than shreds it was fine. I like the double blades. Also the motor while powerful is quite light weight which I appreciate.
This is an easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store product. The fantastic fact is that you get 3 for what in the market would be the price for one! I have used it several times and I love that the blade can be detached from the blender container! Best buy yet!

The Great Photo Book Round-Up Review: Who Makes The Best Photo Books?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Printing" @ 06:30 AM
This review has been updated as of April 2011.
My son Logan was born on August 16th, 2009, but long before that I started work on a very special project: a baby book that would chronicle the process of my wife's pregnancy, our preparations for his arrival, and the first couple of weeks after he was born. This wasn't going to simply be a bunch of photos; I wanted to create a truly epic baby book, something that was off-the-charts unique and something that would become a family treasure.
I've wanted to use FotoFusion (see below for a discount coupon) to create customized page layouts for a long time now, because I knew it would allow me to break the limited confines of what typical photo book software permitted. I had carefully created all the pages in FotoFusion, exported each page as a high-resolution JPEG file, and dropped the images into full-page layouts. I incorporated my green-screen scanning technique to add objects to the book, and once I was finished - a process that took eight months of work and around 200 hours in total because I wanted it to be perfect - I had the book printed with Picaboo. The results were a complete disaster. The details are below under the review section for Picaboo, but the short version is that I was really unhappy with the physical representation of all my hard work and I wanted to get the books re-printed using a different service. But which service should I use?
I searched online for a comprehensive review of photo book printing services, and wasn't able to find any that answered this question: who makes the best consumer-grade photo books? It's not an easy question to answer, which is probably why I wasn't able to find any articles tackling the subject. In order to compare photo book printing services, someone would have to contact a broad cross-section of service providers in the USA and Canada (let's say a dozen in total), arrange for a free sample to be provided (because buying a 60-page photo book twelve times over would be $800+), build the same book with all of them (or as close as possible), factor in the book-building software component, then compare the eventual results of the physical books. Who'd be crazy enough to take on such a huge task? That would be me.
This review is likely the most intense writing project I've ever undertaken short of writing my last book. This project was six months in the making, required multiple re-workings of the baby book in FotoFusion to accommodate differences in book size/aspect ratios, and I believe is a unique effort on the Internet today in terms of scope and depth.
I hope you find it useful, and if you do, please share it with your friends and family - and if you feel like the review saved you money or time, a tip would be really nice. :-)
A Quick Word About FotoFusion
By far one of the top questions I've gotten asked since publishing this review is how I created the pages in the book. The process I used isn't typical. I've you've never heard of FotoFusion before, check out my review to understand what it can do - it's insanely powerful software, yet still fairly easy to use. When you see an image like the one below from my photo book, it's just one big picture - the "text" you're seeing is actually part of the image:
Everything in the image above was assembled in FotoFusion: the images were dropped into the six custom-sized frames I'd created, the text was typed up in FotoFusion (and spell-checked in Microsoft Word), and the yellow note was scanned and added to the FotoFusion layout as a transparent PNG file. When I finished the page layout, I exported it as an 8 megapixel JPEG (3300 x 2550) with minimal compressions, then dropped it into the photo book making software as a full-page image. It's important to understand that FotoFusion can export pages at extremely high resolutions; you just punch in the resolution you want, and it does it. Note that the Extreme version offers unlimited resolution exports; the Enhanced version is limited to 3900 x 5700, but that's 22 megapixels and more than enough for even the biggest photo book on the market. FotoFusion will not magically allow you to use low-resolution images though; you need to give it high quality images to get high quality output.
I can't stress enough what a powerful tool FotoFusion is for creating photo books that are unique and special. If all you want to do is have a book full of photos, the software from any of the companies in this review will do the job. But if you want to combine photos, text, and scanned objects into a single, creative layout, you'll want FotoFusion.
If you're interested in purchasing FotoFusion, use the coupon code DHT20-2 to save yourself 20% off the price. This discount works for both the Windows and OS X versions. The coupon is valid until October 31st, 2014. I use the Extreme version, but you can do everything you need with the Enhanced version - just be aware that you'll be doing it one page at a time (an unfortunate limitation in that version). If you're planning on making photo book creation a big part of what you do, the Extreme version is worth the investment in my opinion. There's nothing else like it, anywhere.
How To Read This Review
Because of the length of this review, there are three different ways to read it. If you're interested in seeing how each photo book printing service compares to each other, I encourage you to read it all the way through from start to finish. If you manage to do that, you're a superstar (this review clocks in at over 15,000 words). If you're interested in how a particular book building service is rated because you're interested in using them for a book project, jump to the individual section below:
- Picaboo (here's their high-end Ranch style book reviewed separately)
- Treasure-Book.com
- Blurb
- Inkubook
- Shutterfly
- AdoramaPix
- Kodak Gallery
- MyPublisher (updated April 2011)
- SnapFish
- ArtsCow
- Photobook Canada (here's their 11" x 11" book reviewed separately)
- Mpix
[Other book services we've reviewed here on this site include Viovio.]
Lastly, if you want to just skip to the conclusion to see the results of my tests (which includes an executive summary of each service), please feel free to do so.
One thing to note is that I'm not factoring in the "order to ship time" for this review. The reason why? Some of the vendors provided me with a coupon code that I could use to get my book printed for free, while others had me upload my book, processed my order, and manually discounted it later. This created a scenario where it was impossible for me to accurately gauge when the process truly started and finished.
Let's get started!

Was there really any point in making a whole new thread? It says specifically in the rules if a mod hadn't made a thread a reg. could make it and the episode ended little over 20 minutes ago, I originally thought my thread got deleted due to a forum hiccup but the fact the same fate happened to the second one made it obvious that it was deletion. Pretty sure a few member's post got wiped in the process as well.
Anyway, for the most part the Lucario and Pikachu battle was very intense, loved the animation and moves shown. I also really liked Lucario's voice, I still can't believe Kotetsu lost the whole league though. T-Card epic
At one stage Pikachu looked really strong - getting in attack after attack in quick succession, but then the usual dual explosion end had to happen. At least it wasn't a double knockout. What did annoy me though was that Cameron was then beaten by Virgil with only 5 Pokemon (it looked like Cameron did have a 6th somewhere) - which is another one of those very minor things that there's no reason to do that makes Ash look weak - by the person who beat him being beaten easier.
Disappointing but not unexpectedly Snivy didn't achieve anything, now would have been a great time to reflect on Snivy's pre-Ash past and it being a barrier to victory - because whatever it was in her past still hasn't been resolved like it was with Pignite, so for the most important battle Snivy will probably ever have, it's a bit disappointing it came and went without anything useful happening - not even a new move (as far as I could tell).
It was nice that Lucario seemed to keep its personality from Riolu, I was expecting it to try and keep with the usual tough-guy image Lucario usually have in their other appearances. Cameron's headband snapping doing nothing was nice, that's probably the only thing the writers have done rather well with the league, take a lot of those repetitive jokes and do something different with them, like everyone suddenly getting Stephan's name right.
I admire Bianca's ability to hold way too many ice-creams and still travel way too fast - that's one repetitive joke I'm happy hasn't changed. I'm disappointed that Bianca's dad didn't play any role in the league for her - another missed opportunity. Can Bianca go with Ash to the X and Y region please? It does seem strange that you have the everyone going separate ways scene when there's so much of BW remaining - could at least one of the side characters be written out well?
Was it mentioned who's Pokeball Ash was holding at the end? 'Stop losing leagues for me Pikachu, get in the ball!' would be a better ending than this one...
So for those of us stateside, how'd the battle turn out?
You Might Be A Redneck If...
You think The Nutcracker is something you did off the high dive.
You've ever smuggled food out of an all-you-can-eat buffet.
The original color of your carpet is an unsolved mystery.
You've had more court dates than second dates.
The closest you've come to royalty is eating at Burger King.
You've ever stared at a carton of orange juice because it said "concentrate."
You think a quarterhorse is that ride in front of K-Mart.
Virgil beat Crimgan
Virgil beat Kotetsu
Virgil wins the league
Trump Card looked epic at least.
The fact someone who doesn't even specialize in battling won the whole league still surprises me, he's a rescuer.
The animation was amazing *_* Copycat Iron Tail too.
Welp, at least it's it over. This is one league that's definitely not worth a re-watch. On to Saga N.
I was actually asking about the Ash/Cameron battle, but it sounds like Ash lost. Again. For the [EFF!]ing fifth time. Why does he always have to be an also-ran?

More importantly, why is this surprising? We've known Satoshi was going to lose the Isshu League for a while now.

Edit: There's also the fact that most of Ash's team went without victories at all. Only Pikachu, Krookodile, and Pignite got anything notable lol. Scraggy got a throwaway battle.

At least the writers had a hearty laugh at anyone who thought that an Eeveelution team couldn't win the league.
You gotta admit, Lucario was pretty cute.
Well, looks like we had no point to Virgil being here after all, I was hoping he'd battle Ash at the last second of the episode but no, he gets beaten that kid who has an IQ of a rock, thanks for that Pokemon. Worst League ever!! Gosh, I can't wait for the next Generation to get here soon, than we can leave this trash of a series behind us and act like it never happened, lets hope Ash never brings it up and forgets it all like he does some times with Pokemon, well than again this is my opinion soXD
Ash fan. Multi Ash shipper =]
Lol, Dino became a beast. He took out all of Virgil's Pokemon sans Eevee, and Kotetsu couldn't even beat four of Virgil's.

But actually, over this past weekend I had plans to catch up on listening to the latest CD's that I received (CLOSING NIGHT and MOVIN' MOBILE), but I got into a live '69 & '70 mood, so I've been diggin' my ELVIS IN PERSON AT THE INTERNATIONAL HOTEL CD, along with the FTD's POLK SALAD ANNIE and ELVIS AT THE INTERNATIONAL!!!

TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
The first compilation CD I made for my co-worker's birthday, beginning with Blue Moon (which she only knew from Rod Stewart's recent version!!!) through to "How The Web Was Woven".
I just put some of my fave Elvis songs through the years/decades on there, including "The Girl Of My Best Friend", "Like A Baby", "High Heel Sneekers", "Power Of My Love", "This Is The Story" (my current fave song!) and more.
Then I have made another CD for her with some live stuff, some funny outtakes and some early takes of several songs, to let her hear how songs were developed.
Lately it's been a pretty continuous stream of EOT The Rehearsals tracks coming from my CD player. That FTD is simply fantastic.
I'll tell you a funny thing...My youngest son, 2 years old, was listening to that CD with me the other day. Separate Ways came on, and I kid you not, I don't think more than a second and a half of music had passed when he said, "Plane!" He was referring to the scene in EOT featuring that very track, which he loves because of the airplane.
My boy, my boy!
This time, Lord, you gave me a mountain...That's a neat one-liner at the beginning of that track.
...you won't forget me when I go.
undefinedundefinedundefinedright now Iam listening to elvis latino!
I love "ask me" my all time favorite, margurita, spanish eyes, It,s impossible are my favorite ones in this cd.I like elvis latin music so much!!

Cant stop listening to The on tour rehearsals from FTD and gave A hundred years from now another spin.
without a song, a man ain't got a friend,
without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.
Yep...The On Tour Rehearsal features a heck of a lot on my cd player too....and my pc...oh and the car Great listening
TCB Chris.
All good music. Of course just about anything Elvis is good music
I have been going through all of my cd-r bootlegs lately trying to get them sorted out, so I have been listening to everything from the Sun records days to his last concert But lately my 2 year old has me listening to "rugrats", "spongebob squarepants", " all grown up", and a few other cartoons Since I am currently between jobs He keeps me real busy and I wouldn't have it any other way
Having recently purchased the Aloha From Hawaii 2-disc DVD set, I've been listening to those songs a fair bit as of late. While Elvis turns in some lacklustre performances on certain numbers, there are some pretty incredible pieces, too. I was pleased - and amazed - to discover that the rehearsal version of "An American Trilogy" is even better, from a vocal point of view, than the version that was performed and broadcast around the world. When Elvis sings the final rendition of the chorus and the last word of the last line, "On!!!!", I'm surprised it didn't blew the roof off the stadium. It certainly blew my mind. And what's just as amazing is that he launches almost straight into the next song before he's barely had chance to catch his breath!
Yesterday(Thursday) I received Love, Elvis along w/the 3 re-released/remastered albums Elvis Presley; Elvis; and Loving You via USPS.
Since Elvis, the "balladeer", is my favorite I started with Love, Elvis.
Today(Friday) I'm going to listen to the 3 re-releases.
As I type I'm listening to I Want To Be Free on headphones for the third time in a row. Love that tune
