You are invited to The 37th Annual Convening of the
Ozark Area Community Congress
Hammond Mill Camp, West Plains, MOzarks
Hi Friends,
All those who love and care about the Ozarks are invited to gather together once again to celebrate, appreciate, and learn from this phenomenal part of the Earth and each other…
Spread the word! We celebrate this year with the theme Alliance
Making alliances with creative people and groups all working for ecologically responsible alternatives is vital to the mission of OACC and in developing resilience in the Ozarks. A conscious active alliance with Nature may be the greatest and most fundamental alliance of all, and the very heart and soul of deep resilience.
-The first and longest-standing bioregional congress.
-An ecologically-aware child- and family-friendly community village where together we learn, play, relax, and take care of each other.
-A meeting place for ecologically-informed, creative, talented people, growers, activists, operators of small businesses, musicians, writers and innovators; where you can meet with others about what's of interest to you. OACC is just plain useful, valuable, and often life-changing!
-A decades-long forum for a sustainable and regenerative economy for the Ozarks.
-A place to network and get informed about significant issues affecting our lives in the Ozarks, in an ecological context.
OACC is a celebration of the Ozarks and all things restorative and ecological!
– Workshops and presentations on ecologically-related subjects, campfires, music, poetry and readings, and homegrown Ozarks culture in general.
-Good food, as locally grown and organic as possible. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free? No problem, we have food for most lifestyles.
–Please come ready to help out daily with your choice of volunteer, community-sustaining work, whether in the kitchen, child care, grounds cleanup, and whatever it takes to keep our little village going. It's fun to work together as well as play, and this is one way OACC keeps its costs so low. When you register we will sign you up for your choice of enjoyable volunteer opportunities. Your wholehearted volunteer help enables OACC to continue, and be so inexpensive to attend.

Program Coordinator-Leesa Johnson
We highly encourage you to come to OACC on Friday afternoon, register and be a part of the Opening Circle at 6 PM. The Opening Circle is our first chance to be together as a whole group, and one of the most important aspects of OACC. It gives everyone a chance to introduce themselves to each other, find out what others are doing and what they are passionate about, where they are from, and start participating actively in OACC right away. It is at the opening circle that you get to see those who you most might want to get to know more and meet with during the rest of OACC.
– Noon: set up begins
– 3 pm: registration opens
– 5pm: Early dinner and potluck. (We will have some simple snack-type food, and if you could bring some potluck additions, we will save our food folks much work early on as we are getting set up. Thanks in advance if you can bring something to share!)
– 6pm. OACC overview, Opening Circle. This is your chance to introduce yourself, meet all the other participants, and find out what they are doing. Very important! Tell us where you are from, especially your home watershed, and what you are passionate about!
– 7pm or just after Opening Circle, Open Space Process– facilitated by Ruth Lewis– for those who are not on the schedule and who want to give presentations at OACC. What is Open Space Process? At any given OACC, people attend who are working in, for instance re-localization, organic gardening and agriculture, appropriate technology, alternative health, communities, land trusts, ecological protection, forestry, home schooling, conservation, responsible media, sustainable businesses, biodiversity preservation, ecological restoration, culture, music, arts, eco-villages, and the list goes on… OACC's program will have pre-scheduled presenters PLUS time available for anyone who wants to conduct a session after arrival. These previously non-scheduled presentations will be scheduled during an Open Space process on Friday evening after the Opening Circle. Got something to say? Here's the place to say it! If you want to be part of the Open Space, be sure to come on Friday.
– 7:30 to 9:00am: Breakfast
– 9:00am to noon: Presentations
– Noon to 1:30pm: Lunch

– Morning: workshops, presentations, discussion groups
–10:30am: OACC 38 CONGRESS PLANNING SESSION. All are encouraged to attend this session of the congress which determines the future of OACC, and even if we will have another OACC!

Registration Rates for Partial Attendance. For those of you who want to come for less than the whole time, such as a day, or part of a day, we will pro-rate in a fair and equitable way.
OACC as a "congress" is distinguished clearly from a run-of-the-mill "conference" in that it is a gathering of peers (not just conference attendees passively consuming information from paid "experts" and "professionals") who inexpensively and on a volunteer basis organize and conduct the event themselves as a temporary green "village," take care of themselves (preparing food, providing their own entertainment and presentations from within the group itself, cleaning up, etc.), and decide among themselves by consensus the present and future directions and content of OACC as an informal "organization."
1) Come to OACC and contribute your talents and energies to the community!
2) Invite and bring one or more like-minded folks who you would like to be there with!
For Further Information:
Stuff We Need If You Can Bring It.
– We need a PA System for Coffee House on Saturday evening
-We need a portable projection screen
-We need Firewood
If you can bring either of these please contact David at the email below

Many a C5 owner has heard that unmistakable machine gun sound emanating from the front of the car when turning on the headlights. And if that noise isn't annoying enough, at least one of the headlights doesn't come up, or doesn't go down.
Anyone who has gone through this knows the fix is to replace the factory nylon gear in the headlight motor with a replacement bronze gear.
But what's up when the gear has been replaced – by a dealer – and it happens again? Certainly the teeth on the bronze gear have not worn down to the point where they disengage from the motor drive gear. When it happened on our subject 2001 convertible, we popped the hood and discovered that epoxy used to hold the gear cover on the motor had failed and fortunately was lying beside it. As a result there was enough play on the gear shaft to allow it to disengage from the drive gear and "rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!" each time you tried to use the lights. (more…)

We were taken aback while reading reporter Karen Butterfield's story about a local food program in the Weekend Missourian. Do we have that many families that need gifts of food to survive in this area? Apparently, the need is there.
The story related that more than 4,000 backpacks with weekend meals have been sent home with students in the Washington School District this year through an organization called the Community Partners: Fighting Hunger and Fueling Minds. Now the program is being extended to the summer months. The partners include the Franklin County Area United Way, a number of churches and others.

Strange Signal Gating Effect

If the Audio LED does not come on with light strumming then it is possible that you might have a bad cable and/or input jack.

Hi guys,
I have exactly the same trouble on mine.
My G50 worked perfectly since 3 years, I used it for live session last month, working perfectly, and tried to use it last week for live session : it just started having the problem. Reception great, full green bars but it only works if I play hard. The audio LED on the transmitter doesn't light up when soft playing, cannot hear it. The RF LEDs on the receiver stay on even when I cannot hear the sound. I tried another guitar, another channel, bought another cable, nothing changes.
Damned... Perhaps a serial trouble.

Team 17 spent $2.5 million to make Alien Breed trilogy
Martyn Brown, studio director for Team 17, told Develop attendees that it cost the firm $2.5 million to create the Alien Breed trilogy for Xbox Live Arcade.
"It makes it one of the most expensive digital titles to-date," he told the crowd while stating that Team 17 employed around 30 people for 14-15 months to create the title.
Alien Breed is to be released in three parts starting in October and is expected to take a total of 15 hours to finish.

This review is from: Kingston DataTraveler R3.0 G2 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model DTR30G2/64GB
Pros: Very fast!
When doing burst transfer of files around 2GB from 7200rpm HDD I average around 115MB/s. When doing bulk transfers of around 10GB the transfer speed is around 50 to 75MB/s.
When doing burst transfer of files around 2GB from a SATA II SSD i average around 200MB/s. When doing bulk transfers of around 10GB the transfer speed is around 80 to 100MB/s.
It's is also very light and a nice small size. The cap is all rubber and is a nice secure fit that doesn't just pop off. The rubber body is nice too and i have test dropped it several times. It is so light the rubber takes the hit like nothing and just bounces around. No damage at all.
Haven't tested it in water but this definitely looks like it can be submerged for seconds without water getting in.
For only $38 for 64GB it's definitely worth buying!
Cons: None!
Other Thoughts: After doing a full NTFS format you will have 58.5GB free.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset
Pros: Has High Volume
Cons: Mic has distortion. Need to set quality to tape recorder or else it has annoying buzz. Almost as the mic and headset cables are crossed or badly shielded.
Random high pitch frequency noise when playing audio or in game. Comes and goes.
Has a static noise once you stop playing audio. Need to send audio again for it to stop. Very strange.
Latest Software does not fix any issues. Corsair forums have plenty of people with same issues I have.
Are a bit heavy big and heavy.
Other Thoughts: If Corsair ever fixes the distortion in Mic and headsets it can be a quality product as it has potential.
I bought Logitech G430 and they work great!

I went from 15Mb/s DL to 55Mb/s! Now thats improvement!
Installs on windows 7 pro in seconds.
Cons: NONE!

Discussion in 'BW OU' started by -Rockstar-, Jul 8, 2012.
correct sand force with sheer force brah :)
That core looks super Latios / Latias weak XD. Toxcroak and Celebi also look like they would be annoying but overall it looks interesting :P
Also, the above poster IS SO WRONG!!!!!! SAND FORCE CM LANDY FTW!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDD <3

no yeah I'm just kidding XD. sheer force bro :x
no yeah I'm just kidding XD. sheer force bro :x
CB Tar is a great partner to this core,since he can remove lati@s, celebi and starmie.
Gengar is still annoying but you can use psychic instead hp ice on landorus.
Cresselia +Leftovers
Calm Nature (Levitate)
Light Screen/Moonlight
-I know it has absolutely no offensive capabilities, but it is very successful in OU and can suprisingly wall even the greatest OU threats.
Darmanitan +Chesto Berry
Brave/Relaxed Nature (Zen Mode)
Flare Blitz/Fire Blast
Hammer Arm/Rest
-Im kinda notorious for this set because im the only one who actually uses zen mode like this competitively. But, contrary to popular belief about zen mode, its actually very successful and happens to take out very annoying walls and tanks, and sometimes sweepers who werent prepared to let the fight last longer than one turn.
Salamence +Life Orb
Jolly Nature (Moxie)
Dragon Claw/Earthquake
Aqua Tail/Dragon Dance or Outrage
-The masterpiece of my core. He(or Hydreigon) will get used on absolutely every team of mine. He is virtually unstoppable and usually only dies to faster sweepers that are rare in OU. His main problem has been Scarfed Terrakion, so I recently switched him to Jolly Nature and gave him Earthquake.
Hey, want some thoughts on this pairing.
Volcarona @ Lum Berry
Flame Body
252 Sp Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Def
IVs: 30 Attack, 30 Defense
Quiver Dance
Fiery Dance
Giga Drain
HP Ice
Yeah, its Volcarona. I've recently opted for a new set over the stock Bug Buzz/Fire STAB/coverage because I found that I lost to far too many different things, no matter what I ran. So I ditched Bug Buzz altogether and ran Giga Drain and Hp Ice instead, which gives you perfect(?) coverage, barring Fire types, which are generally a bad idea in this meta. 'course, Volcarona is still weak to SR and still can't break Heatran, which is why I pair it with...
Kabutops @ Lum Berry
Swift Swim
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Rapid Spin
Stone Edge
Aqua Jet / Superpower
Kabutops seems like a really weird choice when Starmie is an option, but Volcarona and Kabutops go together rather well. Kabutops can deal out tons of damage to Fire types, can be counted on to Rapid Spin while dealing with several spinblockers, and generally supports Volcarona rather well. If rain is up, however, the roles change. Volcarona instead takes on the role of a wallbreaker for Kabutops, wiping out defensive the Grass types that it can't manage, and generally trying to dent as many things as possible. Jolly nature is a bit odd, but I like to outspeed all non-scarved Heatran.
The two go together rather well, covering a number of each other's weaknesses, barring Kabutop's Ground weakness and Volcarona's Water weakness (pssst... add a Grass type. Ferrothorn is handy for the entry hazards and residual damage, if you have something else to cover Ground). Beyond that, anything that brings more residual damage to the table is a good option, although hail and sandstorm do make Volcarona a little harder to set up.
Kyurem @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 220 Spd / 236 SAtk / 52 HP
Modest Nature
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power
- Substitute
- Roost
Gengar @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute
- Will-O-Wisp
This offensive core isn't about Synergie or something but allowing Kyurem to sweep opponents teams cleanly. You all probably know how deadly SubRoost Kyurem is but with this Gengar it's even more of a threat. Kyurems main counters are Scizor, Tyranitar and Jirachi and guess what, they're counters to Gengar as well. So what this Gengar does is luring in all these Kyurem-counters and will-o-wisping them to uselesness. After they got burned, Kyurem won't have any problem to beat any of those.
You obviously need some support. It's not absolutly neccessary, but a spinner will always be nice for Kyurem while Hazards on your own are helpful as well. Kyurem will also appreciate any weather but Sandstorm to recover health more easily.
Slowbros aren't that common though. If you focus on slowbro, you might lose to more used things like hippowdon. Breloom should be a good member instead of Hydreigon. Breloom can take out at least one pokemon with spore and another with focus punch/bullet seed.
Latios (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Surf
- Trick
Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- ExtremeSpeed
- Crunch
- Swords Dance
This is a very effective core in both BW and BW2, this core helps break the other pokemons checks/counters. The point of this core is to weaken lucario's checks and counters to the point where it can ko everything at +2. Trick helps lucario set up by forcing a pokemon who is locked into an ineffective move or a recovery move.
LO Latias + SR Jirachi have to be the best two staple pokemon that also work together!
Celebi @ Expert Belt
Natural Cure
EVS: 56 HP/252 SpA/200 Spd
-Leaf Storm
-Earth Power
-Hidden Power Fire
Rotom-W@ Leftovers
EVs: 232 HP/56 Spa/220 Spd
-Volt Switch
-Hydro Pump
-Thunder Wave
Heatran @ Leftovers
Flash Fire
EVs: 200 HP/110 SpA /200 SpD
-Fire Blast
-Stealth Rock
-Earth Power
core provides
Volt Turn
Offensive pressure
Pair with Salamence and Lucario (Lucario appreciates paralysis, Salamence appreciates the burn (MoxieDDmence, not intimidate) allowing it to come in on physical sweepers)
Speaking of Axolotl and Anubis
Lucario @ Life Orb
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
Salamence @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SpA/252 Spd
-Dragon Dance
-Fire Blast
Resists eachothers weaknesses and have good coverage (offensively)
Keldeo @ Expert Belt
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
-Hydro Pump
-Hidden Power Dark
-Ice Wind
-Secret Sword
Latios @ Scarf (or Life Orb if you want power>revenge killing)
4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
-Draco Meteor
-Dragon Pulse
Scizor @ Choice Band (or Life Orb for BulkySD set)
248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
-Bullet Punch
-U-Turn/Bug Bite
-Pursuit/Swords Dance
the group resists each others weaknesses and are an incredible offensive force, considering each member has more than 125 in one offensive stat.
Ferro and Jellicent. Resists eachothers weaknesses, Ferro has paralysis support, Jellicent has burn support, allowing Ferro to run Sp.Defensive or mixed wall (Fero Mixed wall 252 HP, 252 Sp.Def, Impish gives ferro 352 HP, 327 defense, and 331 special defense).
Here's yet another core that I've had immense success with in OU.
Heracross @ Choice Band | Guts
Adamant | 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Close Combat | Megahorn | Pursuit | Sleep Talk
Thundurus-Therian @ Yache Berry | Volt Absorb
Timid | 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe | 2 Atk / 30 Def
Thunder[bolt] | Hidden Power | Grass Knot | Volt Switch
Empoleon @ Petaya Berry | Torrent
Modest | 76 HP / 252 SpA / 12 SpD / 168 Spe | 0 Atk
Substitute | Agility | Surf | Ice Beam
This trio, while somewhat unconventional, focuses upon breaking apart the Pokemon that prevent Empoleon from sweeping, namely Gastrodon, Vaporeon, Celebi, Breloom, and Ferrothorn. The standard Celebi typically is the slow specially defensive variant, so Heracross can come in and pretend it's a Scarf set, scaring it out with the threat of a quick Megahorn, only to hit it with a powerful Pursuit. Heracross and Thundurus-T resist Breloom's STABs, and they can both force Breloom out with the threat of powerful and / or super-effective moves. Heracross in particular outspeeds all variants of Breloom (except for Scarfed Breloom, but who uses that?) and can exploit Breloom's tendency to Spore stuff to get a Guts boost. With a Guts boost, it can hit even harder than it usually does, 3HKOing notable resists like Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Gyarados (after SR, of course) with Close Combat and Megahorn, moves that all 3 of them resist. Thundurus-T needs nearly no explanation. Grass Knot is run over Focus Blast because Ferrothorn, the only notable target for Focus Blast, has unreliable recovery and is 2HKOed by Megahorn and OHKOed by Close Combat. Gastrodon, while uncommon, also likes switching into Thundurus-T, only to get 2HKOed by Grass Knot. All this is just to prep the carpet for Empoleon, which can run through teams almost effortlessly once those 5 Pokemon are gone. Swords Dance Toxicroak, while it may seem like a great Empoleon counter, is 2HKOed at worst by Ice Beam before a boost, and is maimed by Thundurus-T and Heracross. Bulkier variants are 3HKOed before the boost and 2HKOed after. To quote Gimmick, "[Jimbon and I] found an EV spread that maximized its bulk but allowed it to outspeed basically everything relevant. 76 HP / 252 SAtk / 12 SDef / 168 Spd does just that and still allows you to activate the Petaya Berry after only 3 Subs."
In terms of additional teammates, rain support from Politoed is always good. The rain reduces Heracross' Fire weakness, allows Thundurus-T to use Thunder instead of Thunderbolt, and ramps up Empoleon's power to nearly unmatched levels of intensity. Problem Pokemon include SubSD Terrakion and Scarf Keldeo. The former can set up on Heracross locked into Pursuit and start tearing the team apart from there, while the latter is faster than Empoleon even after an Agility.
I'd write more on this core, but I'm a bit tired, and my RMT that features this core, which can be accessed by clicking on the Unown in my sig, explains this in more detail.
You forget that toxicroak will recover 12,5% from rain dish (assuming that you and your opponents both play rain team), so Empoleon doesn't 2KHO him with ice beam. I think that toxicroak beats that core, but I never saw that case happened in battle, so maybe not.
Here's a good core to use on Rain Offense team :
Toxicroak @ Life Orb
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 232 Spd / 252 Atk / 24 HP
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Ice Punch
- Drain Punch / Cross Chop
Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 104 Spd / 40 HP / 96 Def / 16 SDef
Modest Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Agility
- Thunder / Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
These 2 pokemons have great offensive synergy since they set up on each other counter. I took the Ev repartition for Thundurus-T from Shurtugal's RMT.
I'm not very good for explaining stuff, so I would be short : Toxicroak main counters are set up fodder for thundurus-t and vice-versa (gastrodon is an exception).
EH is greatly appreciated, as well as rapid spin support if you want thundurus-t to be more effective.
I really like this core of Empoleon and Thundurus-T. It reminds me of the Empoleon/Zapdos core that received a lot of hype in UU.
252+ SpA Empoleon Ice Beam vs. 244 HP / 0 SpD Toxicroak: 145-171 (39.4 - 46.46%) -- 49.39% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock and weather
+1 252+ SpA Empoleon Ice Beam vs. 244 HP / 0 SpD Toxicroak: 217-256 (58.96 - 69.56%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and weather
252+ SpA Empoleon Ice Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Toxicroak: 145-171 (47.07 - 55.51%) -- 20.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and weather
+1 252+ SpA Empoleon Ice Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Toxicroak: 217-256 (70.45 - 83.11%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and weather
You're right about me not factoring rain and Dry Skin into some of my thoughts, so thanks for correcting me on that. The actual damage calcs can be seen above, and I'm correct for the most part. Again, thank you for correcting me. Also, Toxicroak can beat this core only if Thundurus-T is weakened or if Toxicroak is boosted, as Thundurus-T takes 48.82 - 57.52% from a 252+ LO Toxicroak's Sucker Punch. However, that's what teammates are for.
Another core from me.

This core is very powerful. Why? Beccause it covers both sides of the offense spectrum. Keldo rapes specially, and lando does it physically. And because sheer force lando and keldo have similar counters, u could un a physical landorus set to blow apart latios, jellicent, and celebi.
Of course, you've got to talk about Tyranitar/Landorus/Keldeo anytime you mention two of them. Choice Band Tyranitar just eats up all of special Landorus and Keldeo's counters with so little effort. Meanwhile, Landorus and Keldeo just overload each other's similar checks to the point where they aren't capable of checking you anymore.
forget cbtar 4 a second. sandorus BLOWS APART keldeos counters. keldeo BLOWS APART sandorus' counters. so cbtar isnt needed for sandorus+keldeo.
I get it, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew (Because you won't know what Mew is running) :P I applaud thee.
In all honesty I think it looks great, good job man
Skarmory @ Custap Berry
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind / Brave Bird
- Taunt
Gengar @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Disable
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
This core is very effective at setting up entry hazards and spinblocking. Skarmory is meant to be lead, setting up as many hazards as possible. Gengar is the best offensive partner because it can spinblock and obtain many 2HKOs with the entry hazards. This core is only meant to setup hazards and keep them on the field, so the rest of the team should be powerful attacks and speedy threats. This core can pressure the opponents team greatly.
WW------>BB on skarmory,to hit the opponent and choice scarf with destiny bond Gengar, to Outplay Starmie that can spin easily
This core is what I built my RMT (link is signature) around but I guess I will share it here too.
Toxicroak (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 24 HP / 252 Atk / 232 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Ice Punch
- Swords Dance
Toxicroak is meant to be the backup and help for gyarados' sweep. The swords dance set is really deadly in this metagame with flawless coverage and decent bulk through amazing typing. Toxicroak can even handle lots of terrakions if they are not CB which is pretty common because sash and swords dance terrakion are really dominating. Drk skin under rain is also really awesome because it negates life orb recoil. Combined with drain punch toxicroak will stick around. Defensively toxicroak can take strong rock attacks aimed at gyarados. Electric type attacks not so much but ferrothorn can help if necessary.
Gyarados (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 176 HP / 84 Atk / 248 Spe
Adamant Nature
-Dragon Dance
Gyarados has no count. With intimidate and good special bulk he can set up on a ton of threats in the metagame. With this set his subs will never be broken by crap like ferrothorn gyro ball or jellicent shadow ball etc. With substitute and dragon dance he is about as scary as a 20 foot long sea snake. The only things that can handle gyarados are ferrothorn and some rotom-w which will fall to toxicroak. Gyarados' set can change depending on whether or not your team is offensive or defensive. I like to run initmidate and a lot of bulk but it all changes based on your team.
This core obviously works well on a rain team, so politoed support is mandatory. Ferrothorn is an option for an electric resist and spike setter. Forretress can spin and set hazards. Dragon types can check electric types which could power through like thundurus-therian.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 220 SDef / 36 Spd
Gentle Nature
- Stealth Rocks
- U-turn / Baton Pass
- Psychic
- Recover
Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 Def
- U-turn
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch
- Trick
Pretty standard core I think but I've been using it a lot recently and wanted to share it in case anyone doesn't know it yet :) The core is a nice balance between offensive and defensive, Celebi being the primary defense and Jirachi being the primary offense, and both share great synergy. The dual use of U-Turn is awesome as they usually have no problems U-Turning back and forth on their respective switch-ins. Celebi also sets up the rocks that are huge on any U-Turning combo as you'll be forcing switches left and right and can rack up some impressive hazards damage.
Honestly try it out, this pair is extraordinarily solid and are very easy to build around. I have multiple teams at the moment that utilize these two 'mons. They work especially well on Rain teams where their shared Fire-type weakness is nullified.
I really like this core, I've run it a lot before. Just a question: On Celebi, wouldn't you rather run Baton Pass? Nowadays, CB Ttar is absolutely all over the place, especially paired with Landorus or Keldeo. Celebi barely does damage when using U-turn, and Baton Pass allows it to escape Pursuiting to another pokemon. Personally, that's the move I use, but I think the argument for it can go either way.
Yeah, U-Turn really is just personal preference. Celebi is really common on opposing teams and my Celebi is a perfect switch to it. From there I can U-Turn out to do a hefty chunk and go to Jirachi to potentially U-Turn out again.
I run this core on a team that loves the removal of enemy Celebi so that's why I run U-Turn. I'll slash in Baton Pass though because you're definitely right about Tyranitar. I just posted the two 'mons straight from my importable :)
@Joeyboy Outside of Jirachi's trick, both Celebi and Jirachi are huge setup bait for hazards from steel types. Hope you have rain tentacruel to stop them!

Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 68 Def / 252 SAtk / 188 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
- Agility
Latios+Dugtrio origins come from the offensive rain teams that featured Tornadus all the way back in BW, but the pairing is not exclusive to rain. Whether it be Sp. Def Tyranitar, Jirachi, or Heatran; Latios lures them out to be potentially trapped by Dugtrio. If you are lucky enough that your opponent decides to kill off your Latios with his or her Pokemon, congradulations, no prediction with Dugtrio required! You may question the choice of Life Orb Dugtrio, but honestly I find it to be the best Dugtrio. It offers the power to get KO's + the ability to prevent opposing set up with Memento, as well as get your intended sweeper in the field.
Really you can use any special sweeper of your choice in the 3rd spot, but this core is more inclined for a very speedy special sweeper with Dugtrio+Latios opening holes up. Right now, I am enjoying Agility Thundurus-T. Thunderus-T can wreck the rain teams that are everywhere right now and can lure in Ferrothorn which this core has trouble with. I was utterly surprised when I found out Modest Life Orb Thunderus-T can do 87+% to Ferrothorn:
252+ SpA Life Orb Thundurus-T Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Ferrothorn: 309-364 (87.78 - 103.4%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

DUMAS - Each person in this community generates about a ton of trash in a given year.
Dumping rules
All loads must be separated when unloading in designated area.
Household trash and small items should be placed in the trash containers.
Contractors and commercial businesses have to weigh in during normal business hours.
No dumping is allowed outside the landfill gates; video surveillance is used.
No scavenging or salvaging is allowed.
Residents need to show a copy of their city utility bill or a valid Texas driver's license. Nonresidents will be charged a disposal fee.
Contractor and commercial businesses will not be allowed to dump at the dropoff area. They will have to come across the scale during normal business hours.
And that's becoming a growing concern.
City officials are trying to come up with plans to extend the life of the community's landfill, which, according to a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality report, is on pace to run out of space by 2015.
"It's going to be an issue for us for a while," Dumas City Manager Vincent DiPiazza said.
TCEQ's annual report, released in November, detailed activity at all 187 of Texas' active landfills in 2006.
Dumas' dump took in 14,074 tons of waste that year, up from 13,389 tons in 2005, the report said. It has an estimated 245,660 cubic yards of unused space left, enough for roughly 98,200 tons of garbage.
State officials estimated in the same report Amarillo's landfill is about 48 years from filling up. The BFI Southwest Amarillo Landfill, a privately run site on the Randall County side of the city, has about 10 years before it will be full, the report said.
But Dumas' issue is the most pressing.
Census data shows Dumas' population was 14,046 in 2006, compared with 9,771 in 1970. The growing city has known for years landfill space would become scarce and has tried to battle back.
State officials granted Dumas permission to stack landfill trash until a permanent solution is figured out. The city also has acquired land 15 miles east of town for future dumping use.
Another option being considered is setting up a transfer station for city vehicles to drop off waste so it can be carried away to a waste site by a contractor.
DiPiazza said neither prospect has been studied fully. But each promises to be costly.
"That aerial expansion may have bought us a few years," DiPiazza said. "But it's by no means a permanent solution."

SEOUL, March 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korean builder SK Engineering & Construction Co. said Wednesday it has clinched a US$160 million deal to modernize oil facilities in an area shared by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Under the contract with Wafra Joint Operations, the builder will upgrade the main crude-oil gathering center at the Wafra field in the Neutral Zone between the two countries.
Wafra Joint Operations is a joint venture between Kuwait Gulf Oil Co., a subsidiary of state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corp., and Saudi Arabian Chevron.
SK E&C said it is scheduled to complete the turnkey project by September 2015 after work begins next month.
Some of the 400,000 barrels of crude oil produced at the Wafra oil field per day will be collected in the main gathering center before being sent to Kuwait City, roughly 85 kilometers north of the oil field, according to the builder.

This story was written by Joseph Weisenthal.
That was quick: A day after we broke the news on Buzznet's latest funding and wondered who they'd be buying, Mashable reports that it has acquired Qloud, the DC-based social music company that claims backing from Revolution LLC. SocialTimes reports the same and says an announcement is imminent. Qloud, started by two ex-AOLers, is the developer of the My Music app on Facebook, which, at one point claimed to be the second biggest music app on the site, after iLike. Other investors include Ted Leonsis and former Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) music chief David Goldberg. Terms of the deal were not reported, other than that the valuation was a little higher than what the company raised money at least year (which also was not disclosed).

I have to work with some files/folders which can contain certain prefixes. For example, a file name could be
1.2.0 MyDocfile.doc
184.108.40.206 Anotherfile.txt
I want to be able to remove the prefix and the space after that (1.2.0, 184.108.40.206) and just take the actual file name.
What is the best way to do this ? Regular expressions ?
Can someone please give an example?

Using aacPlus for Premium Color Ring Back Tones
aacPlus is a highly efficient audio coding scheme which is capable of providing very good audio quality at low bit rates. Color ring back tone services provide a music experience while waiting for a called person to answer the phone, replacing the traditional beep sound ring tones. These services have been commercialized since 2002 but some audio quality issues remain as the existing speech codecs are being used to code music. With the increasing availability of aacPlus on mobile phones it becomes possible to use aacPlus for this kind of application and it will be the core component of new premium color ring back tone services. The new service will provide significantly improved audio quality which allows for an excellent user experience with music ring back tones. The basic parameters and extensions to adapt the aacPlus codec to the transmission channel are described. Simulation and subjective listening test results are also presented in this paper.

The international oil shipping services provider, which paid Bretta Tanker Holdings $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, saw profits for the first half of 2016 slip 11.3 percent year-over-year to $153.7 million.
The Port of New York and New Jersey, which experienced the second busiest June ever for box volumes, was called by a 10,077-TEU containership at the GCT Bayonne Terminal.
The U.S. gross domestic product increased 1.2 percent in the second quarter of 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of just 0.8 percent in the first quarter.

Federal Maritime Commissioner Richard A. Lidinsky Jr. said that ports in the United States must continue to expand and improve to handle rising container volumes in order to stay competitive with neighboring foreign ports.
Ocean carrier Hyundai Merchant Marine, which has been struggling to turn a profit in recent years, signed a memorandum of understanding with 2M Alliance members Maersk Line and MSC to join their major east-west vessel sharing agreement.
Forget playing the blame game, the fraught implementation of container weighing rules came down to the fact that the container shipping industry has no single trusted information source.

Optimal Output with Photoshop CS6
In this advanced workshop Tim Grey delves into some of the finer points of creating top-quality output of your digital images. First, get an introduction to color management, which is absolutely crucial to maintaining consistent colors throughout your workflow. Tim then takes an in-depth look at the topic of sharpening—when and how to do it, as well as when not to—and covers some advanced sharpening techniques. He also offers tips for printing your photos, exploring both the relevant settings in Adobe Photoshop and those you're likely to find in your printer driver. Finally, he discusses troubleshooting suboptimal output—i.e., when something goes wrong, figuring out what happened and how to fix it. If you spend a lot of time optimizing your images, this workshop will help you make sure all that effort is reflected in the quality of your output.

- [Tim] Hello I'm Tim Grey. For 15 years I've been writing books and magazine articles, speaking at workshops and seminars around the world, and producing video training titles all aimed at helping photographers better understand complex subjects. One of the more complicated subjects photographers face is color management but in this video training title I'm going to make this topic approachable and dare I say perhaps even fun. I'll start off by laying a foundation of a color managed work flow helping you understand the concepts involved and showing you some of the configuration options you'll want to consider.
I'll then show you the work flow considerations related sharpening which is a big part of the process of preparing your images for output when color management really becomes critical. We'll then dive into the details of a color managed work flow including saving your master image, creating a copy of your image for output purposes, resizing and sharpening the image, and performing additional tasks that are important to ensure the best results in a variety of different output situations. Next I'll demonstrate some advanced sharpening techniques to really help you improve the appearance of your photos as you prepare them for printing or other sharing.
Finally we'll take a look at the specific settings you'll want to use when printing your photos including the use of output profiles, printer options, and more. We all want to make our photographic images look their best with an efficient work flow. In this workshop I'll help you take the images you've already optimized and make sure the final output looks as accurate as possible with excellent quality. I look forward to helping you better understand how to ensure the best prints and other output for your digital photos.

A mitzvah is that we do something that
Hashem told us to do.
We get up in the morning, we get dressed.
We sing special Shabbat songs.
Before we eat, we say Kiddush (blessing over wine).
and the children get a special blessing from their parents.
Then we eat.
And then everybody says "Shavuah Tov."
