text: Finis Terrae was conceived, designed, and built by Chile's masterful Cousiño-Macul winery to go head-to-head with the First Growths of Bordeaux and Napa Valley. With the just-released 2010 Finis Terrae, a breakthrough vintage for this wine, it has become a remarkably good impersonator of La Mission Haut-Brion, at 1/20th the price. It is made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Syrah (a clever addition to the traditional Bordeaux cépage, which has given Finis Terrae the last bit of LMHB-like richness it needed to complete the picture). The wine is aged for 15 months in a combination of Seguin Moreau, Taransaud, Demptos and Saury French oak (55% new). What jumps out first and foremost is the cedary, plummy fruit, accented by very Graves-like notes of scorched earth, damp forest floor, and minerality. Supple and amazingly sophisticated for the price, the 2010 Finis Terrae, while immensely enjoyable now, has the structure and balance to age gracefully for an additional 7 to 10 years. Decant one-half hour before serving.

Gopher Impact Zone™ All-Synthetic Baseball Gloves
Orders placed on weekdays before 3pm CST ship the same day.
DescriptionThe lightest-weight glove you can find!
Ready-to-use glove is very light and flexible, with a unique palm padding that resists moisture and absorbs shock for added comfort. Glove resists fading, bacteria, and moisture for long-lasting performance. Open X-web pocket for added durability.
|Great glove--and "cruelty-free"!
|Date: February 27, 2014
Can't recommend this highly enough. I was looking for a synthetic glove, which I prefer to one made from the skin from a cruelly killed animal, and I found it in GOPHER. I was concerned that the glove would be stiff or feel like a synthetic, but it doesn't: it is very supple and natural-feeling. The service was also super: the glove arrived promptly, well-packaged, and when I had to return it for a larger size GOPHER made it easy to do so. Five stars!

Pittsburgh's signature sandwich shop. – The Scene
This 24/7 landmark is where you'll find all the native clubgoers before they hit the party scene and the night owls who hit it after hours. The service is efficient and friendly, reflective of the town they truly represent.
The Menu
The Primanti way of making a sandwich may not be famous worldwide, but it's certainly known citywide. Served on wax paper, meat, french fries, tomato, and coleslaw are stuffed between two slices of Italian bread. The beauty lies in the simplicity. They call it a sandwich, but it goes down like a meal. The cheese steak, which is actually a burger, not shaved steak, is listed as "the No. 2 favorite." What's No.1? "Beer," said a cook incredulously. Vegetarian? How about a triple grilled cheese? The hot sausage, bratwurst and egg sandwiches are also great craving killers.
Primanti's is great! – Primanti's has the best sandwiches anywhere. you can't beat it. huge sandwich, stuffed with meat, french fries and cole slaw. Wash it down with a few beers and you are set. this is a PGH tradition

This month heralded the end of our four years of working in Biloxi. The final home, the Porch Dog by Marlon Blackwell is now complete.
We began work on the Gulf Coast in October 2005 and have implemented, supported and funded projects in East Biloxi, Waveland, Bay St. Louis and New Orleans. In the coming weeks we will write up a full report (and photos by the amazing Iwan Baan) of all the impact made by the organization but most importantly the dozens of firms and thousands of volunteers whose dedication and hard work help build back the coast.
The online auction ended last night and netted over $2500 for Architecture for Humanity. Funds will be put into our expanding design fellowships programs, allowing us to provide more professional design services to communities in need around the world.

A 2006 world report about the buildup of plastics in our oceans marked an epiphany for Adventure Ecology founder David de Rothschild and the beginning of a journey to raise awareness about the environmental dangers facing our Oceans.
It gave birth to the Plastiki, a 60ft catamaran almost entirely from reclaimed plastic water bottles and self-reinforced PET, a uniquely recyclable and relatively unexplored material.
Tonight Architecture for Humanity designer Nathaniel Corum will talk at Plastiki Mission Control (Pier 45) about our involvement to help shelter this motley crew on their voyage.

During the early years of the organization, armed just a laptop and a cell phone, some of our volunteers were alarmed by the number of coffees I'd have per day. On average around 5-7 coffee. What they didn't realize is that for every $5 coffee meeting I'd leave with a $25-50 donation. This kept us going for years!
So, as we launch our capital building campaign -- for our grassroots supporters we are going back to basics and doing a 'coffee with' campaign called 'Do A Latte Good'.
It's simple, starting 5pm PST you can bid on coffee with an Architecture for Humanity supporter, designer or client and in exchange they'll put funds towards improving the living standards of communities around the world.

It's been a tough week in Asia. In the space of a week the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia were ravaged by a typhoon; Samoa was affected by a tsunami and Indonesia was struck by an earthquake. In the space of seven days more than 2 million people were displaced.
While damage from the tsunami was localized and the earthquake was located in areas with on the ground organizations like Build Change, we have evaluated that the biggest impact we can make is in responding to those affected by Typhoon Ketsana.
We are starting an appeal for transitional and permanent reconstruction of areas affected. Please note this funding will be focused on longer term recovery not emergency relief. Donate via Network for Good or Paypal (login not required to make a donation).

Today a 8.3 earthquake struck close to the island of Samoa, generating a 10-15 ft tsunami. The wave hit the island early in the morning causing 3 deaths and dozens of injuries. One town was flattened and the capital was reported to have flooded. video
As this is a localized natural disaster we will only respond if called upon.
Update 4: The island of Samoa took the most damage from the Tuesday morning tsunami. The current number of fatalities in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga has reached 922>. Hundreds have been left without shelter.

Schedule::Cron is a Perl module that provides a simple but complete cron-like scheduler. It can be used for periodically executing Perl subroutines. The philosophy behind Schedule::Cron is to call subroutines periodically from within one single Perl program instead of letting cron trigger several (possibly different) Perl scripts. Everything under one roof. Furthermore, Schedule::Cron provides a mechanism to create crontab entries dynamically, which isn't that easy with cron. It knows about all extensions (at least all extensions the author is aware of, i.e those of "Vixie" cron) for crontab entries like ranges including 'steps', specification of month and days of the week by name, or coexistence of lists and ranges in the same field. It even supports a bit more (like lists and ranges with symbolic names). It has existed since 1999 on CPAN and is successfully used in many projects.

Quickie Beauty Tricks1 of 11
By Petra Guglielmetti for WomansDay.com
Being busy doesn't mean you have to let yourself go completely. Any of these 10 instant-gratification beauty moves will get you looking fab on those days when you've only got a minute to spare. And when you have time to do two or three in a row, all the better!
Shine Your Strands2 of 11
"When you need a quick fix, spray and liquid serums add an instant boost of shine," says New York City hairstylist Riccardo Maggiore. "They also smooth and seal the hair cuticle to eliminate frizzies and static electricity." Just warm a few drops of the shine serum between your palms, then smooth right onto dry hair, concentrating more toward your ends and avoiding your roots (otherwise hair could get flat or greasy). ON WOMAN'S DAY: Beauty Rules to Break
Curl Your Lashes3 of 11
Few beauty tricks produce such dramatic results in such a short time. Just grab a traditional metal lash curler and hold tightly in your hand to warm it for about ten seconds, then gently clamp near your lash roots and pulse three times, moving the curler down your lashes a bit more with each pulse to create a smooth curve. Apply mascara afterward to give the curl staying power.
Prettify Your Pout4 of 11
They may take a bit longer to apply than lipstick or gloss, but lip stains keep your pout looking rosy for hours (even through eating and drinking) and can easily make up for the lack of other makeup. "A little goes a long way, so dot just a little bit on your lips and then mush them together to transfer the color," says celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles, who notes that stains are now available in a wider array of flattering hues than ever before.
Faux Some Glow5 of 11
Bronzer is possibly the best secret beauty weapon to come around in years. It gives anyone an instant healthy glow, and the new formulas are almost goof-proof. Just avoid one with sparkles, which "can make you look overly shimmery and orange to boot," Stiles says. Sweep up some matte bronzer using a large, fluffy brush and lightly dust it on the zones where the sun would naturally hit — your nose and cheekbones, as well as along the hairline.
Do a Quickie Mani6 of 11
Right after you get out of the shower, gently push your cuticles back using a hand towel. Then paint your dry nails with clear polish. If you want to add color, forget about sitting around waiting for your polish to dry; these days, there are tons of high-tech nail formulas that set within seconds. Choose a light neutral or metallic polish; they will dry the quickest and are the easiest to slick on. ON WOMAN'S DAY: Quick Hair Solutions
Try the Easiest Updo7 of 11
On days when you don't have time to mess around with a curling iron but don't want to resort to yet another ponytail either, try this instant upgrade: Pull your hair back into a sleek ponytail and secure with a clear elastic hair tie (or one that blends with your hair). Then twist the tail and coil it around the base to form a pretty ballerina bun. Secure with three or four bobby pins, and mist on medium-hold hairspray to keep flyaways in check.
Wake Up Your Face8 of 11
The one-minute way to fake ten hours of sleep: Take a flesh-colored eye pencil and use it to trace inside your lower lashline, covering up the area that normally looks pink. Then use a pale, shimmery eyeshadow or pencil in more of a whitish hue to make a little "V" at the innermost corner of each eye. This deflects from dark circles and draws light into the entire eye area, leaving you looking alert and bright-eyed.
Prime Your Skin9 of 11
It was designed as a way to prep skin for foundation, but the latest primers have proven to be miracle workers unto themselves — and they're way quicker to apply than a whole face of base. To see the benefits for yourself, smooth a silicone-based primer onto your face, starting with your nose and then working outward over any areas where you have visible pores or excess shine. Set with a little translucent face powder and you're good to go.
Fake a Flush10 of 11
Overslept and missed your appointment with the treadmill? Nothing a minute with the blush brush can't fix. "Peachy blush is a surefire complexion perker-upper," Stiles says. "The color is universally flattering for any skin tone and it adds light and life to the face." She suggests using a formula that's sheer so you can build up the color gradually without overdoing it, and one with just a hint of shimmer for luminosity.
Try Bombshell Hair11 of 11
Setting your hair in hot rollers can have an amazing effect, but who has the time? Here's the quickie way to give your hair some sex appeal: Flip your head upside-down and blow-dry your roots for about 45 seconds. Then mist your roots with light-hold hairspray, flip your head back up and smooth hair back into place. You'll have gorgeous volume, as if you just got a blowout (even if, in reality, you're overdue for a shower). ON WOMAN'S DAY: Commercial Break Beauty

What is Horse Anxiety?
Horses, like humans and pets tend to have a variety of behavioral problems. These behavioral issues may arise suddenly, after a traumatic experience, or may be deeply rooted in the horse's psyche from past experiences. Anxiety in horses is a common condition that may affect every aspect of a horse's performance, as well as affecting a horse's appearance.

PCB Thermal Design
Complete PCB thermal design verification almost 3-times faster
Mechanical engineers are turning to Mentor's PCB thermal analysis software to facilitate collaboration and ensure thermal problems are solved before concept commit, leading to the drastic reduction in late-cycle rework.
If components need to be moved to improve thermal performance or allow space for heatsink attachment, a board re-spin will be required. Experience suggests that re-spin will follow re-spin unless thermal design is considered up-front.
Companies that use Mentor's PCB thermal analysis software have been independently found to complete thermal design verification almost 3-times faster than those that don't.
PCB thermal analysis software streamlines concept development of printed-circuit boards while ensuring good thermal design and accelerating the PCB design process. It promotes a conceptual design process that is derived from the functional block diagram.
Changes made to the functional block diagram are instantly reflected in the physical layout and thermal representations thereby keeping all team members in sync. The result is pre-optimized concepts in less time and drastic reductions in late-cycle rework as all issues are solved before concept commit.
PCB Thermal Design Simulation Benefits:
- Minimize risk of multiple board "re-spins" due to thermal problems
- Understand the thermal behavior of your designs with powerful visualization tools
- Address major inefficiencies in the PCB design process
Application Examples
PCB Thermal Design
Surface temperatures on an a populated circuit board showing high temperatures associated with the packages fitted with extruded heat sinks.
Flow vectors show high flow upstream of the components and between components. Flow is reduced by the blocking effect of the heat sinks which cause a wake in the downstream flow.
Galileo Avionica Standardizes on FloTHERM Software
Galileo Avionica selected FloTHERM and FloTHERM PCB software as its standard thermal modeling software across all of its seven design centers and five business units.
"Our evaluation showed that FloTHERM and FloTHERM PCB thermal simulation software can save time in modeling while integrating the design process to a higher degree than other tools".Fabio Vitale, Manager of Galileo Avionica's Design Centers Project
Anritsu Company Saves 4-6 Week PCB Re-Spin by Thermal Modeling in Early Design Stage
Anritsu Company reduced the time required to develop communications test solutions by 4 to 6 weeks, eliminating a printed circuit board (PCB) re-spin. This was achieved by modeling thermal management at the board and systems level during the early design process.
In the past, Anritsu engineers were not able to address thermal issues at the board level until the prototype stage when physical testing was performed.
"Now we use FloTHERM PCB software to optimize component placement before prototyping. The result is that no additional prototypes have been required for thermal reasons since this method has been used."
Teresa Whiting, Mechanical Design Engineer for Anritsu
Texas Instruments Speeds Disk Drive Time to Market
Texas Instruments (TI) engineers helped a disk drive manufacturer get their product to market 6 months early by using thermal simulation to solve problems prior to the prototyping phase.
The potential thermal problems centered on a disk brake integrated circuit (IC) that consumed 9 watts. The challenge was optimizing the package design to move this heat out to the PCB and then moving as much of this heat as possible to the chassis.
"Using traditional build-and-test methods it would have probably taken a year to identify a design that maintained junction temperatures at or below specifications. Instead, long before the prototype stage, we began simulating alternative printed circuit board approaches and so we were able to optimize the design from a thermal standpoint in only 6 months."
Frank Mortan, Packaging Engineer for TI

April 25, 2014
Former Virginia swimmer Matt McLean, who won a gold medal at this summer's Olympics in London, has joined the Cavaliers' swimming and diving staff as a volunteer assistant coach.
"There is no way in words to express what Matt means to me personally and to our program," Virginia head coach Mark Bernardino said in a release announcing McLean's addition on Thursday.
"It's not only great to be back in the area, but it's great to back with such a positive group of athletes," McLean said. "They're a great group to work with and I'm hoping to take everything I've learned and relay it to them and help the team improve."
McLean was a member of the United States 4x200-meter freestyle relay team that won the Olympic event in July. In college, McLean was a three-time ACC Swimmer of the Year, won 17 conference titles, and was the 2011 NCAA champion in the 500-yard freestyle.
"He is one of the greatest athletes in any sport to compete for the University of Virginia," Bernardino said. "To have him on our pool deck interacting with our team, teaching the lessons of discipline and hard work and showing them how to sacrifice to be all you can possibly be, should only help to elevate our student-athletes now and into the future."

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders were meeting Wednesday to try to find solutions to issues bedeviling the current session. On the table is a bonding bill, a Vikings stadium plan and tax breaks for businesses to boost the economy and jobs. As you might expect, there is agreement on none of this.
But ... there is the possibility of some easy, realistic solutions, as we see it.
Dayton is adamant that a Vikings stadium plan worked out over the past several months be given an up-or-down vote in the Republican-controlled Legislature. The trouble there is that both Republicans and Democrats are expressing doubts, for various reasons. We do agree with the governor that 11th-hour changes to the stadium plan do not seem wise or helpful. However, if lawmakers see a problem with financing the stadium under the original plan, we don't see why they can't put the state's contribution in the bonding bill.
The bonding bill is funding for state infrastructure projects, from roads, to bridges, to renovating college campuses, to a whole host of other priorities. State governments are now intricately involved in stadium building, with the stadiums used to host a variety of events year-round. If Minnesota is going to accept this reality, then why not simply sell bonds for its share of the stadium?
Finally, the bonding bill also is seen as a way to boost the construction industry, and therefore maintain and create jobs. We don't see why the Republican plan to cut taxes on business can't be part of this effort. Republicans want to freeze business property taxes, create an investor tax credit to foster investment in startup companies, create an upfront sales tax exemption for the purchase of new equipment, and offer tax credits for research and development.
We believe that if ever there was a moment for Dayton and Republicans to reach a bargain that really doesn't require much pain for either side, this is it.

Sun-Thu 6am-10pm, Fri-Sat 6am-12pm
Understaffed? – Had to wait for host--but only after a server shouted into the kitchen three times, "Hey, I need help out here."
Then, two poached eggs on separate pieces of bread and two plates? Had other negative experiences before; we're going to a restaurant in E. Rochester--lower prices, friendlier service, good food.
Avoid at all costs – I have gone there twice, about a year apart. Both times early afternoon after lunch rush, about 2 or 3.
The first time the place looked like a frat party just took place, but no one was making any effort to at least take the garbage off the floor.
I ordered a cheese omelet, but the cheese sauce that was on it was rancid. I sent it bank, waited very long, eventually got a cold omelet with unmelted cheese and with the rancid cheese sauce on the side. In case I wanted to sip rancid cheese sauce.
The second time I had 'potato pancakes' that were batter on the inside.
Both times minimal service, Pleasant people, but not too interested in working, keeping the place clean, or refilling drinks.

Climate Change
Climate Change Indicators in the United States
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given time and place. Most of the weather that affects people, agriculture, and ecosystems takes place in the lower layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere. Familiar aspects of weather include temperature, precipitation, clouds, and wind. Severe weather conditions include hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and droughts.
Climate is the long-term average of the weather in a given place. While the weather can change in minutes or hours, a change in climate is something that develops over longer periods of decades to centuries. Climate is defined not only by average temperature and precipitation, but also by the type, frequency, duration, and intensity of weather events such as heat waves, cold spells, storms, floods, and droughts. Weather can vary widely, and extreme events occur naturally, but average conditions tend to remain stable unless the Earth experiences a force that can shift the climate. At various times in the Earth's history, the climate has changed in response to forces such as large volcanic eruptions, changes in greenhouse gas concentrations, and shifts in the Earth's orbit around the sun.
What is happening?
The average temperature at the surface of the Earth has been increasing over the past century, primarily because human activities are adding large quantities of heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Unusually warm days and nights have also become more common in some places. Generally, warmer surface temperatures lead to an increase in evaporation from the oceans and land, leading to an increase in globally averaged precipitation. However, while some regions can get more precipitation, shifting storm patterns and increased evaporation can cause some areas to experience more severe droughts than they have in the past. Scientific studies also indicate that extreme weather events such as storms, floods, and hurricanes are likely to become more intense. However, because these extremes already vary naturally, it may be difficult over short time periods to distinguish whether changes in their intensity and frequency can be attributed to larger climate trends caused by human influences.
Why does it matter?
Climate variations can directly or indirectly affect many aspects of society—in both positive and disruptive ways. For example, warmer average temperatures reduce heating costs and improve conditions for growing some crops; yet extreme heat can increase illnesses and deaths among vulnerable populations and damage some crops. Precipitation can replenish water supplies and support agriculture, but intense storms can damage property, cause loss of life and population displacement, and temporarily disrupt essential services such as transportation, telecommunications, energy, and water supplies.

Summary of Tart Summary of Tart Reviews for Tart An Excerpt from Tart
USA Today bestselling author Lauren Dane serves up a sweet, sensual, and hot-to-the-touch novel in which one woman's most intimate desires are stirred by two very special ingredients…
Juliet Lamprey is having the time of her life running her successful bakery, TART, when Gideon Carter comes back into her life. Returning home to help his grandfather run the family farm, Gideon is back for good. When they meet again, the spark between them is immediate, and it isn't long before the former childhood friends play catch up—in bed.
That's not good news for local lawyer Cal Whaley. Though the sexually open but strictly monogamous Cal has loved Jules for a long time, he's hardly ever taken it further than friendship. When he sees her start to fall for Gideon, he knows he has to make his move or risk losing her forever.
Who would have anticipated that all three of them would connect on such an intimate level? The trio's scalding liaisons take them places they've never dreamed. But such an intensely passionate and unusual relationship comes with equally as complicated emotions, and when Jules must suddenly leave town, she wonders if she'll have a choice to make when she returns…

Lupe Fiasco – Goin Up LyricsFollow
We here homie
Voo doo master, Lupe Fiasco
Welcome back, an invisible storm
We've opened up the show put criminals on
Opened up the stool let em spit a few songs
Shut down the jewels put his tennis shoes on
Took off his students put his principles on
Don't believe my hype put the interviews on
They don't believe me right you was interviewed wrong
I'm believe you like a hype I'll put my chemicals on
If your such a G why the limiting ya'll
If you can say that's me then why the intervenin on
See my whole crew is ? on
Just the word of me 1st & 15 on
For the past year had to get my lean on
Stay away from the streets I was glittering on
Only bread was where heralds? put my chicken wings on
I was said to be short, but now I'm limosine long
Lupe and his crew done came up while you was sleepin
FNF goin up (x2)
They hate but they study and watch you they can't see em
FNF goin up (x2)
I'm 5 years deep had deals galore
What they feelin now, I had to feel before
And what they feelin now I used to kill before
Grown man now I was lil before
And what's phony now wasn't real before
Told chill I wasn't ready, had to chill some more
Knew that I was hot but I wasn't cool enough
So I said I had to sit on the sill some more
And from the blocks where I made the raw
Broke down the raps and waged the war
I waited in the water and layed the law
I almost didn't make it man I braved it all
When niggas couldn't take it man I shake it off
Wore my hat where you couldn't break it off
Got a respect for the set, I would take it off
And walk down the same block from shit that you get chased off
And that's gangsta ya'll
You see boo Lu
I've been around the block and I done been around the millionaires
Been seated at the power meetings, yeah! I know how it feels in there
See its one thing to be put on
It's another thing to own
Niggas don't feel that there, na
Niggas is A.C. and I'm ocean breeze
Homie do you feel that air? where
I'm from West Madison
Fans across the world that's where that begun
With this flow that was wack to some
They ain't catch until that feedback from Young
Well he's back and brung?
The same flow no fun got his back to em
More Lu for you, my girls and my niggas
RIP to em, God forgive us
Chorus (x2)
Edit song description to add:
- Historical context: what album the song's on, how popular it was
- An explanation of the song's overall story (example: "In this song, Eminem corresponds with a crazed fan who ends up...")

Cloyster is one of the most unique Water-types in the UU metagame due to his secondary Ice typing and large movepool. He is the only Pokemon in the UU metagame to carry all of Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Rapid Spin, and Explosion. These great support moves are backed up by an excellent Defense stat, although his HP and Special Defense are quite pathetic in comparison. While it sets him apart from other Water-types in the metagame, Cloyster's Ice typing is often more hurtful than helpful defensively. It gives him two more weaknesses, including one to Stealth Rock, and causes him to lose many resistances that a pure Water-type would otherwise boast. Offensively, Cloyster's STAB Ice Shard is quite useful for taking out faster, frailer Pokemon. Cloyster's decent offensive stats ensure that many Pokemon will have trouble trying to switch into his Surfs and Rock Blasts, especially frail Ghost-types trying to block Rapid Spin.
This set aims to stop the opponent from setting up while also setting up Spikes of its own. Rock Blast is Cloyster's most powerful attack (bar Explosion) and will do a lot of damage to anything that doesn't resist it. Ice Shard is there to finish off Pokemon who use a Focus Sash while also enabling Cloyster to function as an excellent check to various sweepers like Swords Dance Venusaur and Dragon Dance Altaria. Rapid Spin can be used over Explosion to get rid of the various entry hazards that have been set up on your side of the field. This means that Cloyster can set up his own Spikes and Rapid Spin the opponent's entry hazards away.
The EVs are specialized for the lead position because they are tailored to beat most of the common leads. The 160 HP and 96 Special Defense EVs allow Cloyster to survive Timid Alakazam's Psychic when it is not holding Choice Specs or Life Orb, and max Attack allows Cloyster to do major damage with Ice Shard, Rock Blast, and Explosion.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Cloyster is a great support Pokemon in UU and is a decent candidate for any team in need of Spikes or Rapid Spin support. Cloyster's main job is to set up Spikes, but he fulfills many other roles as well, unlike Omastar, who is slightly bulkier but nowhere near as versatile. In addition, Cloyster functions as a great Rapid Spin user because he can nail Ghost-types with a reliable attack, unlike Donphan or Hitmontop, who rely on Assurance and Foresight, respectively, to hit Ghost-types. Cloyster also has the ability to take a lot of physical punishment, but Slowbro's better typing means that Cloyster is generally outclassed in this role because Slowbro takes physical hits such as Choice Band Waterfall from Azumarill better than Cloyster. If your team has trouble with Pokemon such as Slowbro and Azumarill, Toxic Spikes works well over Explosion.
The advantages of Surf include hitting physically defensive Rotom and Spiritomb for decent damage, but Rock Blast will allow you to deal with Substitute users such as Alakazam and Mismagius more effectively, due to their lower Defense stat.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Cloyster can run a decent Choice Band set due to his usable Attack stat, but he is much better off being able to switch between attacks. Without the ability to switch attacks, Cloyster loses a lot of his versatility.
Cloyster also makes a decent wallbreaker with Surf, Rock Blast, Hidden Power Grass, and Ice Beam or Explosion. This will hit Pokemon such as Steelix and Donphan hard, while also nailing Chansey and Clefable. However, wallbreaking is better left to Pokemon such as Blaziken and Magmortar because they have much higher offensive stats and type coverage.
Checks and Counters
Cloyster is easily countered by defensively oriented Pokemon such as Milotic and Slowbro. However, any Pokemon switching into Cloyster should be wary of Explosion. Otherwise, it depends on Cloyster's attacking moves. Without Rock Blast, Pokemon such as Chansey and Clefable have an easy time switching in. If Cloyster lacks Surf, Rhyperior and Donphan can switch in. Hitmontop works as a counter to Cloyster as well because of his decent bulk and access to STAB Fighting-type attacks.

Save on every ticket. Guaranteed.
With 17 NBA championships and 21 conference titles, the Boston Celtics are the most successful team in the history of the NBA. Founded in 1946, the Celtics have been one of the cornerstone franchises of the league and, alongside the Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots an enormous source of civic pride for the city of Boston. Wearing their iconic, brilliantly simple green and white uniforms festooned with a shamrock, the Celtics are one of the most recognizable sporting brands on the planet.
Celtic Pride
Dominating the league with an unprecedented and unsurpassed 8 consecutive championships (and 9 of 10) from 1959-66, the Boston Celtics were led by legendary coach and basketball pioneer Red Auerbach and by Bill Russell and Bob Cousy, two of the greatest players of all-time.
After adding two more banners to the rafters of the Boston Garden in the 1970s propelled by a couple of future Hall-of-Famers in Dave Cowens and John Havlicek, the Boston Celtics orchestrated a coup by selecting Larry Bird out of Indiana State. Together with Kevin McHale and Robert Parish – the greatest front line in NBA history - Bird would help build another dynasty in Beantown with three more championship seasons in the 1980s.
After some down years, Celtic all-timer Danny Ainge returned to the organization as General Manager and rebuilt the team around Paul Pierce. In the 2007 off-season, Ainge and coach Doc Rivers stunned the league by trading for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and overnight the Celtics were a championship contender once again. With the electrifying Rajon Rondo running the floor for the new Big 3, the Boston Celtics won title number 17 in 2008.
A New Era Begins
Following a 6th straight playoff appearance (a loss to the New York Knicks in the first round), the Boston Celtics hit the reset button. With long-tenured coach Doc Rivers moving across the country to take over the Los Angeles Clippers, the Celtics shipped Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry to Brooklyn in exchange for a group featuring Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries and a truckload of draft picks.
In order to replace Doc Rivers, Danny Ainge went out and talked one of college basketball's hottest coaching prospects, Brad Stephens, into the NBA. After phenomenal success at Butler University, Stephens takes charge of the historic franchise in a period of flux. While Ainge refuses to call this a rebuilding process, the Celtics will lean heavily on superstar Rajon Rondo (coming off knee surgery) to bring this group together. For his part, Brad Stephens is quite accustomed to subverting expectations. Going up against the big boys in the NCAA, Stephens took little-known Butler to two consecutive Final Fours.
Get out to the Garden to See a Brand New Era Begin
With a new coach and an overhauled roster, the Boston Celtics take the floor for the 2013-14 season. Head out to TD North Garden and get in on the action with guaranteed savings from ScoreBig.com.

Anyone see Lenny on CMT Awards?
Lenny opening with American Woman with Jason Aldean was amazing. But I guess the next day he perform about 5 songs at CMT Festival in Nashville. I saw a video online when he sang Let Love Rule on youtube and the audience was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RUDE!!!!! I could not believe it. No one was singing along. I felt terrible watching it, can't these people share the message of LOVE regardless of what genre of music they like. Lenny said, "Baby, you can't give it up for love?" to some woman. She must have said something not nice. I can't wait to see him live again so he can feel the love of his fans!
Let's meditate on peace (from Faith of a Child)

I applaud Lenny for not giving up on the audience and for thanking them for the effort. They were definitely not feeling the music, yet they couldn't get enough photos.

In the 1980s, Tony Andriacchi was almost as famous in Chicago as his heroes Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra were around the world.
Audiences queued up to hear one of the most lustrous male voices to come out of this city, an instrument that Andriacchi used with such skill that Sinatra and Bennett applauded him at the Pump Room, where Andriacchi reigned early in that decade.
But Andriacchi eventually got "burned out" by the business, he told the Tribune, quitting in 1988 and staying away for 15 years before launching a series of comeback attempts that never quite took flight.
Andriacchi died Tuesday morning in his home in Arlington Heights, at age 57, said his cousin, Carmen Caringella. Results of an autopsy are pending.
"He was a top singer," said veteran Chicago singer-guitarist Frank D'Rone.
"He made you think, 'Nobody sings that well,'" said Nick Pullia, communications director at the Ravinia Festival and an admirer of Andriacchi's who helped the vocalist obtain several bookings there.
"He had an incredible technique, he knew microphone technique, and he also had this love of the music he sang."
Indeed, that love was palpable in Andriacchi's work, which radiated tremendous lyric warmth in the ballads and a cappella passages that were his musical signatures. Like another great vocalist who came out of Chicago, Mel Torme, Andriacchi was not intimidated by the high note, the delicate tone, the supple phrase.
"I love to hear him sing," vocalist Karen Mason told the Tribune in 1982, when Andriacchi's career was riding high. "Usually, male singers try to be so macho that when they try to do a ballad, there's something unreal about it. Tony isn't afraid to show that he does feel some pain. Aside from that, he has an incredible voice."
Born in Chicago on Dec. 24, 1954, Andriacchi was the son of a truck driver and a hair-salon owner and began studying piano at 5. His natural talent earned him the nickname "the Liberace of Elmwood Park" at his west suburban high school. But after hearing Barbra Streisand and Liza Minnelli in concert, a teenaged Andriacchi decided he had to sing and embarked upon his career — after taking one voice lesson.
"I had the best teachers," he told the Tribune in 2010, referring to recordings by Streisand and Minnelli, as well those by Bennett, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. Andriacchi learned everything he needed to know about phrasing, breathing and finding the subtext of a lyric simply by listening to their recordings over and over and over, he said. An engagement he won at the Pump Room in 1979 and a longer, follow-up run starting in 1980 made him a boldfaced name in Chicago newspaper columns and earned him effusive critical praise.
"I had all these people telling me, 'It's gonna happen; you know it's gonna happen; soon it's gonna happen,'" Andriacchi recalled in the Tribune interview, referring to predictions of imminent national acclaim. "Well, you start to believe that."
But Andriacchi was the right singer for the wrong era, with even giants such as Bennett and Sinatra struggling in a rock-oriented recording industry that had little use for vintage, ultra-sophisticated, jazz-tinged singing. Starting in 1983, Andriacchi began a five-year run at the Sabre Room in Hickory Hills, consistently packing a venue that seated 1,300 with anachronistic covers of Phil Collins, Lionel Richie and Peabo Bryson.
"I fell into the trap of not developing my craft, not listening to who I should have been listening to," Andriacchi said in the Tribune interview. "I had the pop mannerisms down pat, and in the long run, it did me damage and it burned me out."
So Andriacchi left music, for the next decade-and-a-half supporting himself by teaching piano lessons, opening a short-lived collectibles store and working as a movie-theater manager.
When nostalgia-based crooners such as Harry Connick Jr. and John Pizzarrelli ascended to some degree of stardom in the 1990s, Andriacchi thought his second act might be at hand. So he surprised everyone during an 80th birthday party for his mother in 2002 and serenaded her and the rest of the gathering, thereafter starting to re-emerge in concert.
A striking comeback performance at Davenport's cabaret in 2005 showed that Andriacchi not only had held onto his technique but brought unmistakable freshness and insight to standards such as "I've Got the World on a String" and "More Than You Know" and new perspectives to somewhat more recent repertoire, such as Sting's "Until" and Lennon and McCartney's "Yesterday."
Newly inspired, Andriacchi put what he said were his life savings, $50,000, into self-producing a plush, 2006 orchestral recording, "At Long Last," because "I wanted to do a CD like the big guys," he said.
Andriacchi began getting high-profile engagements at Ravinia, Park West and Lincoln Center in New York. But growths on his vocal cords necessitated surgeries in 2007 and 2008, leading to what Andriacchi called "a breakdown" in which he disappeared from the stage and disconnected from his friends.
He initiated another comeback in 2010 and performed sporadically thereafter. Spotted at the recent Barbra Streisand concert at the United Center, he said he was hoping to pick up the tempo of his singing again.
"I was so happy he had one last chance to see his idol perform," said Pullia, who attended the Streisand concert with Andriacchi.
"Because no one saw this coming."
Andriacchi is survived by his mother, Nancy.

The 94-year-old painter comes to terms with her surreality in a new retrospective
VISUAL ART In 2012, I ran down to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for "In Wonderland," a massive exhibition of women surrealist artists working in the US and Mexico from the 1930s through the '60s. Among the artists — from big names like Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington to obscure figures like Bridget Tichenor and Julia Thecla — there were only two living participants: Yayoi Kusama and Sylvia Fein. I was familiar with Kusama's polka dots and happenings, but Sylvia Fein was altogether something else, a figurative painter whose gleaming egg-tempera-on-gesso works from the '40s and '50s suggested at once the allegorical portraiture of the Renaissance and the alchemical surrealism of Remedios Varo.
As it happens, Fein lives out near Martinez, and I soon found myself making pilgrimages to her house. Nor was I the only one, and among the people to have sought her out in the wake of "In Wonderland" are curator Travis Wilson and Jasmine Moorhead, owner of Oakland's Krowswork Gallery. Together Wilson and Moorhead have mounted an ambitious retrospective, "Surreal Nature," spanning the whole of Fein's career but particularly emphasizing her output of the last decade, which has never been publicly shown.
Still using egg tempera on gesso, the spry 94-year-old painter continues to create her most astonishing works today, paintings that defy the usual division between abstract and representational; an eye, for example, might float in the middle of an otherwise wholly abstract cosmos, as in Crucial Eye (2011) or Marble Galaxy (2010). And while the catalog to "Surreal Nature" indicates she has rejected such labels as "surrealist" since her mid-20s, Fein has softened her stance somewhat over the ensuing years.
"I really don't think that's the word even though we use it all the time," Fein says. "I think most paintings are surreal because they're in another dimension. Sur-real, but in the right sense. Because it is above the ordinary."
Certainly Fein's career has been anything but ordinary; while studying painting as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in the early '40s, Fein became part of a six-person group of "magic realists" led by Marshall Glasier and including fellow "In Wonderland" artist Gertrude Abercrombie. Along with group member John Wilde, Fein earned a show at the university's gallery in 1941, a rare honor for undergrads. World War II brought a period of intense anxiety over the fate of her enlisted husband, Bill Scheuber, expressed in such works as The Lady with the White Knight (1942-43), but it was during a stay in Mexico (1944-46) that her art fully flowered.
"I lived in a place where there was no running water and no flushing toilets," she laughs, relating such elemental conditions to her artistic maturation. "God, that really fit my personality. And here I grew up in Milwaukee!"
In 1947, after her husband's return from the war, the couple moved to the Bay Area, where Fein would receive an MFA from the University of California, Berkeley, participating in a pre-Beat bohemia that included the likes of dancer Anna Halprin and composer Harry Partch. But her real education, she maintains, was at the hands of art theorist Henry Schaefer-Simmern.
"He'd been brought to teach at Cal and his ideas were so revolutionary that technically they threw him out and he started his own art institute," Fein recalls. "I was one of his first students, and he was teaching that there was an evolutionary artistic intelligence, that most art begins with scribbles, then it starts to get formation, it evolves into circles and out of circles children make other lines. Not only that, but if you look at the history of the world and primitive societies, you see the same evolutionary things, whether in caves or rocks, scribbles on hides.

Divided Loyalties
Nationalism and Mass Politics in Syria at the Close of Empire
Published: Tuesday, September 14, 2004
by James Gelvin, UCLA Department of History
In Divided Loyalties, Gelvin examines a defining moment in the history of nationalism in the Arab Middle East--the two-year interval between the end of Ottoman rule and the imposition of French Mandatory control over Syria. Whereas earlier scholars of nationalism in the Arab Middle East focused on the ideas and activities of a narrow elite, Gelvin draws on a variety of hitherto untapped sources and applies innovative methodological strategies to recover the overlooked world of popular politics. In the process, he offers a new framework for understanding the origins, diffusion, and characteristics of nationalism in the region and beyond.
