Maractus is outclassed as a Grass-type in nearly every aspect. Roselia and Cacturne outclass it as a Spikes user, while Victreebel, Exeggutor, and most other Chlorophyll Pokemon outclass it as a sun sweeper. Its best niche is a utility Spikes setter that can defeat a few common leads, such as Golem and Seismitoad. Maractus is rather slow, though it is less hindering as it still outspeeds most common Stealth Rock users. With a bland movepool and low bulk, Maractus has little else to make it stand out and should stick to its small role.
This set makes the best use of Maractus by using it as a lead against some common Stealth Rock setters. Spikes is the best support move Maractus has, and it usually has at least one opportunity to set up if you lead with Maractus. Bullet Seed is what differentiates this set from Cacturne, as Maractus is the only Grass-type in NU that can legally use it alongside Spikes. It allows Maractus to defeat Golem even through Sturdy, which is useful to prevent it from setting up Stealth Rock. Grass Knot is a more reliable and powerful STAB move that allows Maractus to OHKO Golurk and physically defensive Seismitoad before it can set up Stealth Rock. Sucker Punch provides useful priority, and helps damage Pokemon that Maractus can't outspeed.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Maractus can make use of Chlorophyll by setting up Sunny Day along with Spikes, making it the fastest Spikes user in the sun. Unfortunately, Maractus doesn't set up both moves very often due to its mediocre bulk, even with investment. Knock Off can be used to cripple certain Pokemon, but it isn't really worth the moveslot. Cotton Guard can patch up Maractus's poor Defense, but it is still vulnerable to special moves. A physically offensive set with Wood Hammer, Sucker Punch, Drain Punch, and Substitute can be used, but it is entirely outclassed by Cacturne and Maractus has mediocre Attack. GrassWhistle can cripple a Pokemon, but the horrible accuracy makes it unworthy of a moveslot most of the time.
Checks and Counters
It isn't too hard to counter Maractus, and there are ways to stop it from setting up Spikes as well. Kangaskhan easily stops Maractus by using Fake Out to break its Focus Sash and then using Double Edge to finish it off. Natu completely walls Maractus and bounces back its Spikes, and doesn't take much damage even from Sucker Punch. Most Taunt users can stop Maractus from setting up Spikes, and many, such as Serperior, Skuntank, and Misdreavus, take little from any of its moves. Mandibuzz is notable as it can also Roost off any possible damage to basically ignore all of Maractus's moves. Rapid Spin users, such as Torkoal and Armaldo, can remove the Spikes Maractus sets up, though Maractus can defeat Wartortle. Jynx can use Lovely Kiss to prevent Maractus from setting up, though it has to be wary of Sucker Punch.
Maractus is frail and slow, so most offensive Pokemon have no trouble taking it out. Fire-types, such as Rapidash and Charizard, can easily defeat Maractus. Charizard even has a chance to prevent Maractus from setting up Spikes thanks to Air Slash's flinch chance. Flying-types, such as Swellow and Rotom-S, can also easily handle Maractus. Most Grass-types, such as Roselia and Tangela, wall Maractus and can hit it with a super effective move or put it to sleep. Any offensive Pokemon that can take a Sucker Punch has a good chance of 2HKOing Maractus and limiting the amount of Spikes it can set up.

BBQ corn vendor, Sanur beach, Bali
BBQ corn vendor, Sanur beach, Bali
Taken on: 28th November, 2010. Copyright: All Rights Reserved - See travelfishery's page of Flickr
Read more about Sanur
A popular escape from the hectic west coast beaches, Sanur provides a far more relaxed beach atmosphere, with an offshore reef providing calm waters that are ideal for children. Accompanying the pleasant seaside atmosphere are a wide range of good quality, well shaded restaurants and cafes and only a fraction of the hassles that one encounters from the pushier business owners in Kuta.
The beach in Sanur stretches some 5km from the Nusa Lembongan departure point in the north to the beach to Mertasari in the south. Along this entire stretch is a paved walkway that is sandwiched between the sand and an endless string of hotels, restaurants and massage ladies. It's a pleasant place to wander along to take in the sights, sun and sea breeze — it's even possible with a pram or bicycle.
As with many of Bali's beaches, Sanur has lost a significant amount of its sand and groins ... Read our complete Sanur travel guide

Metalwork Gallery: Small Luxuries and Irons in the Fire
The metalwork gallery, reinstalled in October 2011, features a display of more than 200 objects from everyday life in the nation's past as well as some extraordinary items that would have been used by only a few. From massive, wrought iron andirons to delicate gold and diamond jewelry, this selection from the museum's collection highlights the essential role of metalwork in early American life.
Curators rely upon historic household inventories and wills to research decorative arts. These dated documents itemize textiles, metalwork, furniture, and other possessions. One section of the gallery displays objects inspired by a satirical poem celebrating the humble items a Harvard college housekeeper might have owned in 1731. Ordinary objects, often overlooked, like a rushlight or wedge for splitting wood, are juxtaposed with a pewter dish and iron grease pan to represent life in the past.
The gallery exhibits artisans' virtuosity in wrought iron, silver, and pewter objects as well as metals blended with other organic materials such as enamels, ivory, shell, and coconut shell. Gunsmiths are masters in metal and wood, and their craft is represented by a very fine group of early Kentucky-style flintlock firearms. Powder horns are familiar to firearms enthusiasts; another section features the nearly lost art of hornsmithing with hair combs, tobacco boxes, and dining wares all made from the pliant and luminous material.

|Requirements revision:
|Latest pamphlet revision:
|Pioneering—the knowledge of ropes, knots, and splices along with the ability to build rustic structures by lashing together poles and spars—is among the oldest of Scouting's skills. Practicing rope use and completing projects with lashings also allow Scouts to connect with past generations, ancestors who used many of these skills as they sailed the open seas and lived in America's forests and prairies.
The Pioneering merit badge was one of the original 57 merit badges issued by the Boy Scouts of America in 1911.
It replaced the 1910 Pioneer "Badge of Merit".
Pioneering merit badge is an option for the National Outdoor Badge for Camping.

Succession, gifts and wills
Succession involves the transfer of assets and liabilities from a deceased individual to one or more living individuals. The estate is opened at the domicile of the deceased.
- The settlement of (intestate) succession begins upon the death of a person who has passed away without leaving a valid will. In this case the assets are distributed as per the provisions set out in the Civil Code.
- A succession based on a will occurs when the deceased has decided, by means of a will, to assign all or part of his estate (appointment of heirs).
- Contractual succession occurs when succession is attributed by virtue of a deed of gift which takes effect after the death of the donor (e.g. stipulation in a premarital agreement).
A will is a deed whereby a person, referred to as the testator, disposes of all or part of their assets from the time of their death. Testators can always revoke their will.
To dispose of their assets via a will, testators must be of sound mind and body. A minor under 16 years of age may not, in principle, make a will. Minors aged over 16 may dispose of half of their assets via a will. The law does not permit more than one person to draw up their wills in the same legal document.
A gift is a deed by which a person gives another person an asset.
- A gift between living persons is, by definition, an act of giving performed while both the donor and recipient are alive. This legal act entails the donor immediately and irrevocably parting with the donated asset to the recipient, who accepts it. In principle a donation is irrevocable, since the recipient has accepted the gift. However, gifts may be revoked if the recipient does not meet the requirements or in the event of ingratitude.
- Donation by will is a legacy, whereby the donor is dead at the time the gift is made. Unlike a gift between the living, making a will is a unilateral act whereby a person disposes of their assets from the moment of their death.
Types of legacies:
- a general legacy by which one or more people inherit the entire estate;
- a general legacy by which the testator leaves part of their estate, for example one third, all moveable or immoveable property, or half of their immoveable property, etc;
- a particular legacy by which the heir receives a sum of money, a particular asset or a category of assets, such as an antique wardrobe or all the books owned by the deceased.
Belgian law attributes a set part of the inheritance (known as the reserve) to certain heirs (children, the surviving spouse and ascendants). The rest of the inheritance may be disposed of freely to the benefit of third parties. If the legacies exceed the part available, they will need to be reduced.
The inheritance of moveable property is governed by the law of the deceased's last domicile, whereas the inheritance of immoveable property is governed by the law of the place where the property is located. This may, on occasion, lead to a split inheritance of moveable and immoveable items. Since several different laws are applicable in such a case, the available share of the inheritance may be affected.
Under Belgian law, there are several types of wills:
- The holograph will (testament olographe), which the testator must write entirely by hand, sign and date. No other stipulations apply.
The testator may file a holograph will with a notary.
After the death of the testator, the will must be presented to a notary for execution. The notary will draw up a report on the probate and the status of the will. Within one month, he will send a true copy of this report together with a stamped photocopy of the will to the clerk of the court of first instance in the place where succession is being settled. If a general heir has been designated, the presiding judge may issue a vesting order, settling possession.
If one of the heirs states that they do not recognise the writing or signature of the deceased, the court must verify the will's authenticity.
- The public or authentic will (testament authentique) which is received by a notary in the presence or by two notaries. If the will is received by two notaries, the testator dictates it to them and it must be written out by hand by one of the notaries as dictated. Whatever happens, the testator must be given the will to read through. If there is just one notary, the will is read out in the presence of two witnesses. Everything must be expressly mentioned and the will must be signed by the testator. If the testator declares that they are unable to sign it, this fact shall be expressly mentioned in their declaration, along with the reason preventing such a signature.
- The international will, which was established by the Washington Convention on 26 October 1973, is a will that is presented to the notary in the presence of two witnesses. It is attached to an attestation by the notary who will be responsible for keeping it. This option is advisable when there is a foreign element associated with either the testator, the heirs or the assets in question. On the death of the testator, within a month the notary will draw up a report on the probate and the status of the will. As with a handwritten will, within a month the notary will file a copy of the report, the will and the declaration to the clerk of the court of first instance in the place where succession is being settled.
Draw up a will while living abroad
Belgians living abroad who wish to draw up a will may turn to a locally authorised notary, official or body. They may also approach a Belgian diplomatic or consular official with notarial powers to have an authentic or international will drawn up. An alternative is to draw up your own handwritten holograph will in the same format and subject to the same conditions as applying in Belgium.
Searching for a will
Searching for a will: When someone has died you may request verification of whether a will has been registered with the Central Register of Last Wills and Testaments (CRT). Belgians living abroad who believe they may be entitled to a will that has undergone probate in Belgium may contact the closest diplomatic or consular authorities to check. Enquiries will then be made to ascertain whether the deceased, especially if their habitual place of residence was Belgium, drew up a will that was deposited in the Central Register.
Inheritance : acceptance or rejection
Inheritance: acceptance or rejection: Anyone who is an heir, whether through an intestate inheritance or through a will, has three options. They may purely and simply accept the inheritance, in which case their assets and those of the deceased become one and the same. The heir is obliged to pay the debts of the deceased, even if they exceed the extent of the estate. They may also accept the inheritance under beneficium inventarii, in which case the estate of the deceased will remain separate from that of the heir. The heir will then only pay debts up to the total value of the inherited assets. Finally, an inheritance can be rejected, in which case the heir(s) will inherit neither the assets, nor the debts of the deceased. Acceptance of an inheritance under beneficium inventarii and the rejection of an inheritance must be effected on the basis of a declaration made to the clerk of the court of first instance in the place where succession is being settled.
Settling succession when abroad : role of the Belgian Missions
Settling succession when abroad: Our consular and diplomatic posts abroad are not authorised to become involved or take up a position in the actual liquidation of estates or to issue an opinion on succession.
Only the heirs or rightful claimants or authorised persons (such as notaries, lawyers, etc,) may take the steps they deem necessary with a view to defending their interests to the best of their ability.
Here our consular and diplomatic play the role of an accessory, so consular intervention must be limited to measures concerned with preservation and administration. Our representatives may offer their services to facilitate the relations between heirs and local authorities.

Volkswagen Touareg TDI or Porsche Cayenne Diesel?
Fresh of Volkswagen's fast moving block is the Touareg TDI, the firm's first diesel-powered offering here in Malaysia. Globally renowned for its TDI engines, it's good to see Volkswagen Group Malaysia finally taking the diesel plunge after years and years of delays. Only time will tell whether the letters TDI will be as popular with VW's local following as TSI and DSG are, and with the Amarok pick-up truck due to be released in the near future, it's looking good for Volkswagen.
Recenty launched Volkswagen Touareg TDI
I'm not that big a fan of diesel engines but I'll have to admit that for heavy SUVs, they make a lot more sense than their equivalent petrol variants. If I'm going to buy a Volkswagen Touareg, I'll walk past the V6 FSI and Hybrid models and go straight to the TDI. The only issue here is though, would I want a Touareg TDI in the first place?
At RM488,888 the new Volkswagen Touareg TDI is priced perilously close to the RM580,000 Porsche Cayenne Diesel, which ofRead More »from The oil-burning question

I worked at DigitalGlobe full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Cool, cutting edge tech that is always interesting and challenging. You certainly won't get bored here. If you are simply interested in "playing" with technology and research, this is the place for you. It's a geek's paradise. If you have aspirations about growing as a business professional, however, go elsewhere.
Pay is not bad upon entry, but don't expect a raise. Aim for the highest salary possible, because now matter how well your annual reviews go, or how hard you work, you will almost certainly be rated "average". The fix is in by the company leaders so that they don't ever have to treat you special again, after you've been recruited and signed your employment contract. The only ones who get raises/promotions are the brown-nosers and/or former co-workers/cronies of the leadership team.
Cons – Leadership is arrogant, dictatorial, and completely disconnected from the "working class". I have never encountered a leadership team that is made up of more cronies, classmates and former co-workers (and, I'm not kidding... NEIGHBORS). There is a complete lack of vision for the long term strategy of the company, instead they focus on how to gouge customers to pay more for less, because it is easier than developing new and innovative products.
People are treated like very intelligent cattle. Shuffled around on whim without any regard for what the employee may want. Career paths are entirely non-existent. Employee recognition is a joke.
The present CEO has an "open door policy", but fails to mention the pit-bull guarding the door or the fact that he's never on the other side of it. Blissfully ignorant of what is going on in his own company, he has surrounded himself with people who will never tell him the truth and which he refuses to see himself.
There is One Vice President for every 35 employees and one Director for every 28 employees in the company, if that tells you anything about how top heavy the organization is. And humble alms must be paid to each and every one on a regular basis in order for you to be successful on any project.
Every decision in the company is made by consensus, because no one wants to be held accountable for anything. You will interview with everyone from the VP to the janitor to get into the company, and each and every one had better like you, regardless of whether or not you a qualified.
Ethnic minorities, LGBT, or physically challenged people need not apply. Even if they let you in to meet EEOC quotas, you won't go anywhere. You'll just be a novelty.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop hiring your friends, neighbors and former staff and get some real talent in the company who aren't afraid to tell the emperor that he has no clothes.
– I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

A Pac-5 Division semifinal that started in thick fog at Ventura High ended Friday night with Santa Ana Mater Dei sending a clear message that its football program is back and better than ever after a 21-0 victory over Ventura St. Bonaventure.
Interceptions in the second half by Thomas Duarte and Treavon Coley, precision passing by junior quarterback Chase Forrest and exceptional tackling by Mater Dei's linebackers enabled the Monarchs (11-2) to earn a spot in next Saturday's Pac-5 final at Angel Stadium against Long Beach Poly just one season after failing to make the playoffs.
Coach Bruce Rollinson, in his 24th season, remembers hearing talk that he was all washed up and the magic was gone. The way the Monarchs have been playing, they just might be the favorites to win it all. It was the first time top-seeded St. Bonaventure (11-2) has been shut out since 1994.
"We were rockin' on D," Rollinson said. "We were laying the hammer."
In particular, Mater Dei's focus was on Arizona-bound running back Zachary Green, who was limited to 88 yards. Seraphs quarterback Ricky Town was sacked five times and ended up completing 10 of 20 passes for 45 yards.
"Fly to the football and be violent," was the message Rollinson preached all week to his defensive players.
"We just tried to stop 34," Duarte said. "Zach Green is a tremendous back. He's the best back we've seen all season. It was hard to stop him at times."
Mater Dei's offense received a pair of touchdown runs from Coley in the second half on runs of two and 36 yards to break the game open.
Poised throughout was Forrest, who has risen in the playoffs and accomplished something former Monarchs quarterback greats Matt Barkley and Max Wittek never did — get the team into the Pac-5 championship game. He didn't make his first start until the playoff opener, and what a player he's become.
Call it moxie, call it grit, call it fearlessness — Forrest has been leading the Monarchs' march in November. He completed 13 of 14 passes for 161 yards and one touchdown, a 20-yard strike to Jonathan Lockett at the end of the first half that gave Mater Dei a 7-0 halftime lead. On a 90-yard drive, Forrest was five for five.
"I can't explain it," Forrest said of his playoff success. "It's just what we do."
Mater Dei's defense has been improving each week with the help of a mixture of veterans and young players.
Linebackers JC Genova and Grant Moore continued their solid play. Lockett was exceptional in the secondary. And so was sophomore Ben Humphreys.
"I'm excited for the kids," Rollinson said.

GC Baseball/Softball: Blooming Grove sweeps Rice in baseball and softball
Blooming Grove's Lions needed this one.
Heck, they need all of them.
That's where they're living today on the Blooming Grove diamond, where everyone knew going into Friday's game with Rice that the Lions need to win their final three games to have a chance of nailing down the final playoff spot in District 23-2A.
One down, two to go.
"It's in our hands,'' said Blooming Grove Coach Matt Anderson moments after his kids beat Rice 8-0 Friday night. "As long as we take care of our business we'll be fine.''
GC Softball/Baseball Roundup: Frost girls win district title
Frost's Lady Polar Bears needed to win to nail down the district title and they never trailed, jumping out to a 7-0 lead en route to an 11-7 clinching victory over Itasca Friday on the road. They wrapped up their second district title in a row with a 9-1 record and enter the playoffs next week at 13-1.

GC Basketball/Baseball: Mildred's Connor Hill sees life clearly
There was never any doubt for Connor Hill, never any question about what he would do or how he would do it.
Sure, there was that meeting with his mother and father and talks with the doctor when he was 10, talks and meetings that came accompanied with worry and concern.
But never from Connor.
He just never dwelled on the fact he played sports with one eye. He didn't worry or talk about it when he was 10 and he never talked about it at Mildred High, where Hill emerged as a star on the basketball court and baseball diamond.
GC Track & Field: Roundup — Frost girls win area meet
The Frost Lady Polar Bears made a shambles of their district track & field meet last week, scoring 206 points, and they were dominate again in the area meet Thursday, scoring 162 points to win the meet at Blooming Grove.
Morgan:The new endangered species
Am I just that old, or have amateur athletics gone absolutely nuts these days? On second thought, don't answer that unless it's yes to the nuts part.
High School and college basketball are on the verge of being totally ruined by AAU basketball. Top roundball prospects are identified by the junior high level if not earlier.

CHS Soccer: Tigers boys and girls top off season with strong showing on All-District teams
That tough and gutsy style of play sent both the boys and girls teams into the playoffs and on Thursday the Tigers were rewarded again for their fine seasons as two boys won special honors,four boys were named to the All-District first team and two girls earned first-team honors.
Michael Roman, who did a little of everything — and did it well — was named the District 28-4A Utility Player of the Year, and sophomore defender Jesus Barreto was named the district's Newcomer of the Year.

SAN FRANCISCO – Is there any stopping the Dominican Republic?
It sure doesn't look like it.
Tony Pena's team is on the verge of not only winning the World Baseball Classic but becoming the first team to ever go through the event without a loss. The Dominicans seemed a little bit tighter at AT&T Park than they had playing before the wildly enthusiastic fans at Marlins Park last week, but their talent was too much for the Netherlands in Monday night's semifinal.
A four-run fifth inning built around ringing hits off Dutch starter Diegomar Markwell and reliever Tom Stuifbergen spelled the end for the Netherlands, which had upset Cuba to become the first European team in the WBC's final round. The final score was 4-1 before a horn-blowing crowd of 27,527.
Puerto Rico, behind fringe Japan League starter Giancarlo Alvarado, gets the chance to upset the powerful Dominicans, who, led by Robinson Cano and Jose Reyes, have been on a mission to erase the embarrassment of 2009. The Dutch team eliminated the Dominicans in the first round the last time the event was played but did not have the element of surprise on its side this time.
"I have a lot of respect for the Dominican team,'' Netherlands manager Hensley Meulens said. "They kind of took it for granted a little in 2009 but they came to play this year. That's why they're playing (in the championship game).''
Minnesota Twins right-hander Samuel Deduno will start for Pena against Alvarado. The Dominicans have already beaten Puerto Rico twice in the tournament – by two runs both in San Juan and Miami. Those have been two of their toughest games. But to be fair, nothing has come very hard for Cano, Reyes & Co.
Behind starters Wandy Rodriguez, Edinson Volquez and Deduno, along with heavily worked relievers Fernando Rodney (six saves) and Pedro Strop, the Dominican Republic has outscored the opposition 33-14. That's fewer than five runs per game from a lineup full of big-leaguers, but the pitching and fielding – like left fielder Moises Sierra's catch in the crowd to escape a first-inning jam -- has been so strong that the hitters haven't needed to be especially sharp.
With that said, the Cano-led group seems to be able to produce a rally whenever it needs one. Cano himself has become the hitter nobody wants to face. He was intentionally walked twice by the Dutch after a first-inning single and now is 15-for-29 in the tournament.
Not everything is going bad for the Yankees.
White Sox center fielder Alejandro De Aza has been a rock in the middle of the Dominican outfield but continues to struggle at the plate. He was hitless in three at-bats against the Netherlands and is 4-for-21 overall.
De Aza, the White Sox's leadoff man, will have an adjustment to make when he goes back to Arizona. He hits ninth in the Dominican order.
It's been a great tournament but the championship game feels like an anticlimax. Those of us who set our DVRs for games from Taiwan and Japan hoped for a little more sizzle than Deduno-Alvarado for the title.
You can find more star power in the Grapefruit and Cactus League, that's for sure. But the game will be remembered from Tuesday is the one alongside the Pacific Ocean with a Caribbean Series feel – the one that is expected to be a coronation for the Dominican Republic. Here's hoping it brings the drama to go along with the guaranteed theatrics.

Sandy Knight at Wake & Bake in Jacksonville uses candy in her creative, oversized cookies. For instance, she might mix Reese's Pieces into her triple peanut butter cookies. She also uses a variety of candies in her Garbage Pail cookies. Knight saves leftover candy as she goes. She grinds up the bars in a food processor, and adds the pieces to a freezer bag. She doesn't keep different candies separate, she just mixes them all up together. When she's ready to bake cookies, she measures out the mixed candy pieces and stirs them into the dough.
At Mad Hatter Cakes in Jacksonville, owner Carol Watts has been cooking up candy-bar cupcakes. If she's using a chocolate candy bar that will melt, she cuts it in big chunks, then sticks a chunk in the middle of each cupcake before baking. She chops up a few of the chunks into smaller pieces and sprinkles them on top of the frosted cupcakes. Watts also takes Butterfinger candies, chops them finely in the food processor, and stirs the pieces into the cupcake batter.

MCC U.S. publishes mediation and facilitation manual
Cathryn Clinton
June 16, 2009
AKRON, Pa. – A new edition of a mediation and facilitation training manual provides theories, communication exercises and tools for conflict analysis that can help bring about healing and positive transformation in situations of conflict, injustice and violence.
The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) U.S. Office on Justice and Peacebuilding has published the fifth edition of its training manual, Conflict Transformation and Restorative Justice Manual: Foundations and Skills for Mediation and Facilitation, with a new emphasis on restorative justice. The last edition was published in 2000.
The manual is designed to give peace-building trainers and practitioners the knowledge and skills necessary for working in conflict transformation and restorative justice for individuals, churches, institutions, communities and systems. It gives hands-on exercises for interpersonal and group use on communication, mediation and training. It also includes material on the creative use of theater, art, film and jazz.
More than a third of the contributors are new from previous editions. In compiling this edition the editors placed a priority on including the perspectives of people whose voices have been silenced, left out, or ignored in the fields of conflict transformation and restorative justice.
"They represent the often-unheard voices," said Michelle E. Armster, codirector of the MCC U.S. Office on Justice and Peacebuilding.
Beth Roy, a sociologist who is a mediator and mentor in private practice, used the previous edition of the manual when teaching conflict resolution at the University of California, Berkeley. She said, "I've long waited for a major training publication that not only gave a nod to issues of power and justice but actually puts them in the center. I think the new edition of the manual does that, with spectacular success."
To obtain the manual, go to mccstore.org, or phone toll free (888) 563-4676. The manual is $64.99 plus shipping and handling.
For more information on justice and peace-building, go to mcc.org/us/programs.

Apple uses Fairplay to prevent piracy of the AppStore's apps which is normal as they do the same for old Gen iPod games.
The only thing that i don't really appreciate is that they also put DRM in the free apps.
So you are obligated to register/sign-in to be able to download free apps.
This is a lame action from Apple to increase its customers database.
It's not that i don't want to buy apps for my iTouch, it is simply because i can't. I live in an unsupported country, but i still want to use free apps.
They should let people all around the world to register a special Apple ID account that only authorizes them to download free stuffs and add an option to upgrade this account to a Standard Apple ID to buy stuffs later if they want to.

Consider replacing with a conventional pump and a Pside-Kick. The Pside-Kick comes with a small WX-102 tank and everything else you need. This small tank is all that you need. It will extend the life of your pump, tank and pressure switch plus it will give you constant pressure like city water. Your family will love it. http://www.cyclestopvalves.com/products.html.

This weekend, the world heads to Copenhagen to try and come up with a global strategy to combat climate change. The sessions formally open Monday, but already there are developments that suggest what seemed impossible just three weeks ago, may come true by Dec.18 when the U.N. conference closes.
President Barack Obama originally planned to go to the conference on his way to pick up the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway on Dec. 10. But, in an interesting move, he changed his schedule to come on Dec. 18, the last day of the conference, where he will join a host of world leaders.
The White House says the reason for the schedule change is due to "progress being made towards a meaningful Copenhagen accord."
|VIDEO: Climate change e-mails cause heated debate
Offers of compromise from certain countries have prompted others to step up to the table. Obama said the United States is willing to commit to cutting its carbon emissions "in a range" of 17 percent by 2020. In turn, China and India have pledged to reduce their "carbon intensity" as they continue to grow economically. And the European Union is talking about boosting its promise to cut emissions from 20 to 30 percent by 2020. Japan also says it can slash its emissions by 25 percent.
But cutting emissions is not the only issue facing negotiators. Here's a quick guide to some of the other thorny issues.
A jump start for developing nations
The world's developing nations are adamant that they should not have to pay for the sins of already industrialized nations. They say they need to continue to grow their economies to lift their people out of poverty – even if it means doing so in less than environmentally progressive ways.
But many of these countries are on the front line of climate change and are already dealing with drought or sea level rise. They want aid money so they can buy the technology needed to adapt to what's already happening.
The White House says there is an emerging consensus to try to provide $10 billion a year by 2012 for these underdeveloped nations. It says America is willing to pay its fair share and that other countries will make substantial contributions, too.
|SLIDESHOW: Warming threatens lifestyle of Russian herders
Cutting down the world's rainforests puts more carbon emissions in the air than all the cars, trucks, trains and planes in the world. Not only that, but it robs the Earth of one of its great carbon storage systems – the plants, trees and soil in the rainforest.
So there is a lot of talk about reforestation, planting trees to return land to the way nature intended. It is the cheapest and easiest way to combat climate change.
How is it done? For two decades, Costa Rica has paid landowners to maintain their forests or replant forests. As a result, the country's forest cover has grown from 21 percent to more than 50 percent.
And Brazil says it is willing to preserve its spectacular Amazon rainforest, but it wants to be paid to do so. The objective, more forests, is easy to agree on. The tougher issue is deciding who should pay for it.
The United States
At the Bali conference on climate change two years ago, the U.S. was told to lead or get out of the way. Now, the offer from the U.S. to reduce emissions by around 17 percent has prompted China and India to promise to take action as well.
But critics say it is not enough and that the U.S. must do more. Some see Copenhagen as a test of U.S. leadership in the world. However, any agreements made in Copenhagen will have to face domestic scrutiny as well. What the world wants may not be what the Senate is willing to pass – and the Senate will have to approve any climate treaty.
There are many more issues. We will be talking about them over the next two weeks. It should be a very exciting time.
