THE LIGHT SIDE OF THE MOON An RU Team by typon77 Hello RU Players, this is typon77 with a bulky offensive RU team that I have been fairly successfully with. Although I am not an awful battler, I'm not that great, so the success I have had with this team gave me a lot to think about. I've played RU on and off since its beginning, but this is the first time I have seriously laddered. Once I saw that Cofagrigus moved up and that Cresselia and Durant were unbanned, I decided it was time to try RU again. This team features both unbanned pokemon with some other prominent threats in the metagame. The centerpiece of this team is the Bulky TWave CM Cresselia that has been becoming popular recently. So with out further rambling, here's the team! Team at a Glance In-Depth Look Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb Trait: Sheer Force EVs: 176 HP / 252 SAtk / 80 Spd Modest Nature - Stealth Rock - Earth Power - Fire Blast - Thunderbolt Although Cresselia is the center of this team, Nidoqueen often ends up being the MVP of many of the matches I play. Her sheer power and good neutral coverage with the given moveset lets her break through walls and slower pokemon with ease. I often lead with Nidoqueen, as she forces a lot of other pokemon out, and use the free switch to either predict the switch and hit the switch in if I think a threatening pokemon is coming in, or use the free turn to set up Stealth Rock. A Bulky Offense team like this needs some form of hazards to penalize the many switches forced, so I opted to replace one of Nidoqueen's coverage moves with Stealth Rock. Cresselia greatly benefits from these hazards, as it lets her KO much faster than before. Nidoqueen's usefulness, however, is not diminished mid and late game. Her powerful moves let her break through walls and sweep slower, weakened teams late game. Earth Power is a staple on all Nidoqueen sets, as its a reliable, powerful STAB with great neutral and super effective coverage in the metagame. Sludge Wave is my safety STAB move. Generally, when I'm not sure what move my opponent is going to make, I can utilize Sludge Wave's great neutral coverage to do good damage to most of my opponents options. For my coverage move, I chose Thunderbolt over other options like Fire Blast so I could get an OHKO on Moltres, a huge threat to this team, and to do more damage to Slowking, one of Nidoqueen's best checks. I've been considering using a bulkier EV spread, something like 100 HP / 252 SpA / 156 Spe, but I'm not sure if that's worth it. Using the new EV spread suggested by col49. Fire Blast has replaced Sludge Wave temporarily to help with my weakness to defensive Grass and Bug types such as Ferroseed, Roselia, and Escavalier. Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Spd Bold Nature - Calm Mind - Psychic - Thunder Wave - Moonlight When I heard that this thing was unbanned and the Cofagrigus moved up, I immediately jumped back into RU. Finally, a pokemon the slowed down the former all out offense of the tier, and gave bulky teams a way to be more successful. Cresselia has become an invaluable mid-game pivot and late game sweeper that this team just couldn't do without. Her bulk is unsurpassed in the tier, and the full defense investment makes her near impossible to 2HKO without super effective STABs. She can even tank some of those, avoiding a 2HKO from moves like Scolipede's Megahorn. Thunder Wave and Moonlight provide the core moves for her mid game sponging, as she can come in on an offensive threat, paralyze that pokemon or switch in while taking a hit, and then heal up any lost HP from the inevitable chip damage using Moonlight. However, late game, when all the Dark Types and bulky Steels are gone, is when the fun really begins. Once Cresselia gets in on a weakened team and sets up a Calm Mind or two, she is almost impossible to break, and she still outspeeds slow and paralyzed pokemon, as 85 Speed is much higher than most defensive pokemon. She can then alternate boosting and healing until she can sweep without opposition. Her teammates have been chosen to help her sweep late game. Medicham breaks through fast Dark types and Steels, Durant also takes out Darks and Psychics as well as opening up holes in the other team and being able to sweep itself, while Magmortar can take out the bulkiest of Steels and most other walls single handedly, and Nidoqueen can absorb the various status inducers like Thunder Wave and Toxic that hinder Cresselia's abilities. Durant @ Life Orb Trait: Hustle EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Jolly Nature - Hone Claws - X-Scissor - Superpower - Iron Head Durant is one of those pokemon that doesn't need coverage or bulk to sweep, it just has so much raw power and speed that it can break through almost anything with STAB moves alone. Its base 109 speed is one of its most important attributes, as it allows Durant to outspeed a majority of the unbolted metagame regardless. His Bug STAB also lets him break through the Psychics and Darks that give Cresselia trouble, and it can be used as another late game sweeper if he is better suited for sweeping that team. Hone Claws is a move that just seems to be made for Durant. Without the accuracy boost, the drop from Hustle seems to bite me in the butt more often than Stone Edge. However, Stone Edge remedies this problem, while also further boosting Durant's already ridiculous Attack. The coverage moves are fairly obvious. X-Scissor and Iron Head are obvious STAB moves that have good coverage and good synergy with my team, while Rock Slide is used to destroy the Fire types that will try to tank my STAB moves. Superpower has replaced Rock Slide so Durant can better take on Steel types. Sceptile @ Life Orb Trait: Overgrow EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Timid Nature - Leaf Storm - Focus Blast - Hidden Power [Rock] - Giga Drain Sceptile literally does everything that an offensive pokemon could do. It can blast holes through teams with a 140 BP, Life Orb boosted Leaf Storm, it can revenge many threats with its base 120 Speed, and it can stay alive for a while with Giga Drain as a reliable STAB. I was so excited to see this at the #1 spot in October, because there's just no reason not to use it. Sceptile functions on this team as a secondary offensive threat and backup revenge killer. Basically, its my insurance that can take the place of other team members in case they fail. However, my team members usually do a more precise job with these roles, as Medicham is a faster revenge killer, Durant is a superior sweeper, and Magmortar and Nidoqueen hit generally harder with better coverage. That being said, Sceptile is in no way insignificant and is often my most important team member with his unique coverage. Leaf Storm is my "destroy everything" STAB move, which lets me OHKO most pokemon without too much bulk invested. Focus Blast lets me hit the steels that resist my Grass STAB, although its accuracy makes me question its worth sometimes. HP Rock is very important, as it lets me OHKO Moltres and heavily damage other Fires that try to come in on my Grass STAB. Finally, Giga Drain is a reliable, albeit much weaker, STAB that lets me attack without dropping my stats while also recovering any lost HP. Magmortar @ Expert Belt Trait: Flame Body EVs: 24 HP / 252 SAtk / 232 Spd Modest Nature - Fire Blast - Thunderbolt - Focus Blast - Substitute I honestly can't believe this thing was NU at one point. Its utility in this increasingly bulky metagame is phenomenal. With the three coverage moves I have, it can break some of the bulkiest pokemon in the metagame with Stealth Rocks, including, but not limited to: Tangrowth, Slowking, Clefable, and Ferroseed. Magmortar makes sweeping infinitely easier for every other team member, as it destroys the stall teams that can wall my other sweepers. The strategy with it is simple. Come in on a revenge or resisted weak attack on a pokemon that it outspeeds and forces out (more pokemon than you would think), and set up a Substitute or predict a switch. If you set up a Substitute, you can leave them in a bad way, because Magmortar can outright OHKO many offensive threats that outspeed it, and leaving Magmortar behind a Substitute is dangerous. The move set is very important to Magmortar's success. Fire Blast is non-negotiable, as its sheer power lets Magmortar heavily damage anything without a resistance. Thunderbolt his bulky waters, letting Magmortar 2HKO Slowking and OHKO other pokemon such as Kabutops and Moltres with a little prior damage. Focus Blast is for hitting those Normal type special walls that tank too many neutral hits, like Munchlax, Clefable, and Audino. Substitute isn't too common on Magmortar, but its an excellent move for abusing the switches it forces. Expert Belt was chosen over Life Orb because LO recoil would stack too much with Substitute damage, so Magmortar's longevity is greatly increased. Medicham @ Choice Scarf Trait: Pure Power EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef Jolly Nature - Hi Jump Kick - Psycho Cut - ThunderPunch - Trick I don't know how Medicham moves so fast and hits so hard with those short, chubby legs. However, I am thankful for that, because Medicham is one of my primary revenge killers on this team. Scarf Medicham is an amazing set, because it lets Medicham use its well over 400 attack stat with boosted speed and a 130 BP STAB move to kill most of the frailer sweepers. I use Jolly over Adamant because the power difference isn't too different, but I can outspeed and OHKO Aerodactyl. I can also outspeed and OHKO things like Sceptile, +1 Crawdaunt, and Cryogonal. Its utility doesn't stop there. Thanks to its Fighting type and Trick, it can take our Dark Types and cripple walls, two things that Cresselia greatly appreciates. I can't really see any better options for its move set. Hi Jump Kick is absolutely necessary, as its power with STAB and type coverage make it too powerful to give up, especially for revenging pokemon. Psycho Cut is a more reliable STAB with decent coverage. I opted for it over Zen Headbutt so I would have a more accurate STAB to use. ThunderPunch hits Moltres for a 2HKO, while also hitting waters harder. I don't really use it much, but its always there when needed, and there are not really any better moves to use, seeing as Medicham only really needs HJK and Trick. Finally, Trick is there to mess with stall teams, but I only use Trick if I'm sure I won't need Medicham for revenge anymore. Conclusion I've had a lot of fun using this team, and I'm definitely going to continue using it until the metagame changes or something on the team leaves. Cresselia is such an all-purpose pokemon in this role, and its teammates support it very well. However, like any team, this team isn't perfect at all. Any improvements or suggestions you could make on move sets, EVs, or even pokemon changes, I would be happy to hear. Let me know especially in the case of EVs, because I'm not very good with creating EV spreads, and if there are better options I would love to try them out. Anyways, thanks for the read, and please rate and comment!
Hey Typon, this is a really cool team, and I really like how it showcases the new suspect 'mons. I honestly had to do a go-over of this team a few times to see where any good constructive criticism is to be had, so bear with me and I'll see what I can do to help :] From inspecting your team, most threats have been covered rather well, though a few present themselves as issues. Escavalier, especially CB variants, can switch in on Cresselia, Sceptile, and Nidoqueen relatively well (Durant as well, but Durant can sponge a hit and KO unless it's at particularly low HP), and can proceed to threaten your team with it's powerful STAB attacks. Powerful Fire-types, most notably Entei, are capable of switching in on Magmortar and Sceptile (during / post Leaf Storm SpA drops) and basically guaranteeing a KO with Flare Blitz, as your only Fire resist is rather frail, and cannot outspeed regardless. Lastly, Taunt+SD Drapion, although being checked rather aptly by Durant, still pose immediate problems for Cresselia, and finds similar set-ups opportunities in Sceptile and Psycho Cut-locked Medicham. My first suggestion would be, as you suggested yourself, a bulkier Nidoqueen spread. More often than not Nidoqueen hardly needs all the Speed a maximum investment provides, as most common offensive Pokemon outpace it regardless, and most defensive Pokemon are outsped with a meager investment. A bulkier spread would serve to cement it's ability to check Pokemon such as Accelgor, and allowing to (somewhat) comfortably switch into Escavalier's attacks. I propose a spread of 176 HP / 252 SpA / 80 Spe, allowing Nidoqueen to outpace minimally invested Base 85's, such as Qwilfish and opposing Cresselia. Moreover, to deter Pokemon like Escavalier from switching in, I would recommend the use of Fire Blast over Sludge Wave. While it does remove a "safe move" in times of uncertainty, Fire Blast offers like coverage, while hitting Pokemon such as Escavalier and Roselia harder, who you generally would rather not be giving free turns to x_x I would also recommend the use of Superpower over Rock Slide on Durant. While I understand your desire to hit Fire-types hard, Superpower is more than capable of taking out Pokemon like Entei at +1 (104.04 - 122.64%), while also smashing Steel-types. Yes, Moltres quote-on-quote "walls" you with this change, but it is safely OHKOed by a +1 Iron Head (after SR) regardless! In terms of Magmortar, I truly feel that Vital Spirit is the superior ability. Though the chance burn does come in handy for deterring U-Turn to a degree, the ability to switch into the various Sleep moves of the tier with impunity is simply outstanding. Also, and this is definitely a matter of preference, I would look into a spread of 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe w/a Timid nature on Magmortar. Though the drop from Modest to Timid is fairly noticeable in terms of power, this change allows Magmortar to outpace standard Smeargle and limit it to setting up a single layer of hazards, which can be crucial in match-ups with Heavy Offense teams considering your lack of spinner. Moreover, this allows Magmortar to safely outpace Pokemon such as Gallade and most all non-CS Rotom-C. Personally, I feel as though Medicham is sort of the "weak link" of this team, and if I may, I would recommend replacing it with a Defensive Poliwrath. Poliwrath safely patches up issues with Drapion, Escavalier, Entei, and much more by merit of his excellent bulk and typing. What's more, his ability to spread residual damage between Circle Throw shuffling and Scald burns all help to wear down the opponent for your offensive 'mons to clean up late-game. For reference, here's my proposed set: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Poliwrath (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Relaxed Nature - Circle Throw - Scald - Rest - Sleep Talk That being said, I hope my comments were of use to you, good luck with your team bud :] Tl;dr: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Current Spread ---> 176 HP / 252 SpA / 80 Spe Sludge Wave --> Fire Blast Rock Slide ---> Superpower Flame Body ---> Vital Spirit Current Spread ---> 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe (opt.) Modest --> Timid (opt.) --->
Thanks for the rate col! You made some great suggestions. I'll definitely make the moveset changes to Durant and Nidoqueen, and I'll test out that bulkier EV spread. As for Magmortar, the ability was simply a negligent mistake that I never noticed. I'll try the EV spread but I don't think I can 2HKO Slowking with the EV change, and the goal of the set is only to outspeed and KO walls, so I'm not sure how useful the extra speed will be. The Medicham change is a rather tough one to look at. You're definitely right in saying that Medicham is the closest thing to a weakest link on the team, although its often incredibly useful. Poliwrath would definitely help with defensive synergy, but I'm worried about the amount of offensive momentum it would cost me. Unlike Cresselia, which is an excellent pivot with its reliable recovery, that Poliwrath set would cost me my offensive momentum and give my opponents chances to switch in and take advantage of it, especially if I'm missing Nidoqueen to pivot into. I'll try it though, maybe I'll be wrong about the momentum. EDIT: Tried the Nidoqueen set. I love it. It helps me against Escavalier so much, as I just played a game against a Bulky Knock Off Escavalier where Nidoqueen's bulk was crucial.
I don't wanna necro this thread, but this only got one rate; if I get infracted, t'is okay ^^ **** This looks a solid team and very well built. During my playtesting, I didn't see anything that it too bad, provided one plays well with the team. I also like the presentation ^.^ Your team likes to have the offensive momentum, which all of you Pokemon provide, except Cresselia. Sure Cresselia can be a threat, but it takes time to build up enough Calm Mind boosts to be effective, so everytime Cresselia is sent in, she slows down your offensive momentum. I would not go as far as replacing her completly as she is a fantasic pivot that can spread paralysis, which can pay off big time mid- to late-game. I suggest Light Screen replacing Calm Mind. My reasoning is this: your team can tank physical attacks with ease. Durant, and Cresselia have the physical defense to take these attacks. On the special side, there isn't much good news. By having Light Screen, Cresselia can switch in and set up the screen and give your team a buffer against fast special attackers such as opposing Sceptile, Galvantula, Moltres, etc. Also, you want to make sure to have Vital Spirit rather than Flame Body, because then it gives Magmortar a free switch into Spore, and Sleep Powder. Changes (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Changes (open) Changes (close) Change Calm Mind to Light Screen Change Flame Body to Vital Spirit
Finally another rate. I was hoping to get more since i worked on the RMT for a while... I never considered Light Screen over Calm Mind. I'll definitely try that out ASAP.
Hi there Typhon. This looks like a really solid team, and congrats on the peak :] It seems to me like the biggest problem this team faces is Cresselia. Cresselia walls Medicham, Magmortar, Sceptile and Nidoqueen, and your only answer to it is Durant, who is easily won down through LO recoil, hazard damage and suffers dearly from the paralysis that cresselia creates. To fix the large cresselia weakness, I recommend running a Swords Dance Absol over Medicham. SD Absol is an excellent sweeper, and can create lots of holes to allow Durant to sweep late game. For example, it deals over 70% damage to Poliwrath at +2, which enables Durant to 1HKO it at +1. With queen and Magmortar breaking through walls, and with Cresselia paralysing and slowing threats down considerably, SD Absol makes an excellent late-game sweeper. Even without a SD boost, Absol's Sucker Punch still hits incredibly hard, and does much the same thing as Medicham did, i.e. revenge killing fast threats, as well as other threats such as scarf manectric. Although you miss out on Crawdaunt, the only member of your team that allows it to set-up is Cresselia and you just have to play around it(i.e. not letting it come in for free, ko'ing it straight off the bat with sceptile / durant / magmortar). I also recommen a different ev spread for cresselia. That spread is 2HKO'd by things such as Moltres after Stealth Rock. The optimal ev spread for cresselia would be 252 HP / 200 Def / 40 SpD / 16 Spe. This spread allows you to always take at least two Moltres Fire Blast's after Stealth Rock, and the 16 speed ev's outspeed neutral base 55's, such as Bouffolant and allows you to paralyze them. The rest is put into defense to tank hits from the likes of Medicham and Gallade better. Here are the sets: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Absol @ Life Orb Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Sucker Punch - Night Slash - Superpower Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 16 Spd / 40 SDef / 200 Def Calm Nature - Thunder Wave - Calm Mind - Psychic - Moonlight GL and I hope I helped. Luvdisc.

When the Polyphonic Spree first appeared in 2000, the Dallas symphonic pop group was as much a band as a "happening," in the 1960s sense of the word. The Spree's two dozen members took the stage in flowing robes of snowy white, an appropriate backdrop for their happy and uplifting blend of pop, orchestral rock, and minimal touches of gospel. The costumes changed over the years, but the Polyphonic Spree's message remained consistent, drawing comparisons to the Flaming Lips and the Beach Boys with a smidgen of lively Godspell-like attitude thrown into the mix. The Polyphonic Spree were founded by vocalist Tim DeLaughter, who fronted the band Tripping Daisy until 1999, when a drug overdose killed his bandmate Wes Berggren. Tripping Daisy subsequently folded, and DeLaughter pulled together surviving members of the group for the Polyphonic Spree, a massive collective that admitted more than 20 new members into its fold. The group put together a demo entitled The Beginning Stages of...the Polyphonic Spree and distributed it to fans during a holiday performance; a Dallas-based indie label, Good Records, later issued the release. Boasting a ten-member choir, two keyboardists, percussion, bass guitar, flute, trumpets, trombone, violin, French horn, theremin, pedal steel, and an electronic effects wizard, the band had little trouble carving out its own unique niche. DeLaughter emerged as the group's musical director and lead vocalist, and the Polyphonic Spree hit the road with more than a dozen full-sized vans. Despite the cumbersome nature of touring with an immense lineup, the band drew attention with its cathartic performances, including a gig during 2003's Reading Festival. The single "Follow the Day" was featured in Volkswagen commercials as well as the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack, which helped the Polyphonic Spree earn even more exposure. The group's proper debut, Together We're Heavy, was co-released by Good Records and Hollywood Records during the summer of 2004, garnering the Spree additional accolades despite a vicious review by Entertainment Weekly. Released in 2007, the Wait EP found the band moving in a darker, slightly more atmospheric direction, and the band returned that summer with The Fragile Army, a reprise of the vibrant Technicolor sound of its earlier work. The band now sported black military outfits with red crosses stitched onto the front, signaling a newfound darkness that flecked The Fragile Army with brief flashes of melancholy and textured rock. As before, the Polyphonic Spree took their tent revival-esque show onto the road, and the Live from Austin, TX CD/DVD captured their strength as a live act later that year. ~ Linda Seida & Andrew Leahey, Rovi

I love the sound of harmonica and guitar and wondered if any one else plays.
Ya know what Steel, I bought a Marineband something or other last year, had a couple of blows and stuck it in the drawer. An impulse buy. Since then I've bought three guitars and a uke. I think my wife wishes I had stuck with the harmonica obsession as it takes up a lot less space!
Love me Kala tenor uke and now I am after getting a Kala baritone. We only have a one bed bungalow so very little space, mores the pity.
Back to the harmonica. To me, it sounded a bit off key and it's too much aggro to try and tune it up but I agree, when played properly they sound great, huh?
Also love the sound of bagpipes, when played in a huge pipes and drums band. Sometimes they practically move me close to tears I have to admit. Won't be buying a set of them though!
SS.. I can only play tunes like I've Been Working on the Railroad and Oh Suzanna type stuff.. but one of the guys in the band plays a mean harp.. adds alot to our gigs - especially the Neil Young covers we do.. its alot tougher than one would think.
Took a couple harmonica lessons. All the notes aren't on it. That drives me nuts. Chromatic harmonicas aren't practical either.
Yeah, I "play" harmonica. I attended the Neil Young/ Bob Dylan School of harmonica if that tells you where I'm at with this thing..
I play a few instruments and have just started learning harmonica. There are some good online tutorials on youtube, and now that people have their own channels, it's easy to go through the 3-4 minute "lessons" in the right order.
I bought a Hohner Special 20 in C, which I think is a good one to start with (in case it gets put in a drawer!)
BTW this is my first post on this forum....
Have been enjoying browsing all the songbooks on here. It's a brilliant site!
I been playing a harp for many years still love it
i had a couple of good (not great) mouth organs in my early years when i used to play everything in discord including vocals (probably still do) but i didn't realise till many years later why. it's because mouth organs, harmonica's and "harps" come in different keys. that explains a lot as everything i used to play back in the 60's and 70's was in E!!!!
by the way, something that has bothered me for a while. why is it that you colonials call a harmonica a "harp"?
crisps = chips. and chips french fries? bet it's something to do with darwin's theory of evolution. if it wasn't for tv and the interweb, i bet we'd be totally different species by now...lol
I been blowin' harp for 48 years now and still love it. Its nice played in a relaxed setting but its awesome played with a full blown blues band. I also love to play mess around with it along with a guitar or uke. Paul Butterfield would be one of my main influences, my grandad is the other as he first taught me all them years ago.
dont know why but we kicked your butts in the Revolution so we can call it whatever we want

Just played Harp in my first gig. I was scared stiff, but our second performance went pretty well. I'm still pretty green at it, and playing on stage is way different then playing in the basement.
I've been tooting for a number of years, but only got serious with it the last two years. Like "baribari" said, there are a lot of good youtube tutorials. These have been real helpful to me.
ok russel, let's get technical. a harp is a stringed instrument of various types such as orchestral, Irish there's even a Welsh harp. 2000 years ago the bards that wandered around Britain used harps to pass on news or accompany their songs/verse.
a harmonica is blown and operates in a similar fashion to a church or bellows organ ergo; it's other name "mouth organ"
you may have managed to remove the English military out of the US, but then again your army consisted mainly of immigrants from the UK anyway, people who wanted to get away from the "red coats" and their tyranical king and government.
the US and UK, 2 countries separated by one language. what does it matter anyway, we'll all be speaking Chinese soon!
The first harmonicas were called Aeolina - which refers to a harp
whose strings are excited to sound by wind. Here the reeds replace
strings. Other early harmonicas were called "mundharfe" - mouth-harp.
I'm not sure when the harmonica name was first borrowed to refer to
our instrument.
Ha Ha Ha ,
I'm from the " Billy Joel " school ... In fact the only tune I play on the harp , is " Piano Man " ... Love that tune ... Back in the early seventies , I used to hang out in a lttle bar not far from where I lived and every time that song came on the jukebox , for some reason , the place would go all quiet with everyone listening ... Probably the reason that I still love that tune ... I remember a while back , I was playing a solo at the VFW here in town ... I did that tune and my wife happened to be by the bar , and when I finished she overheard some guy say , " I love that tune and the harmonica , did he really just do that with a guitar ?? " L O L ...
i play the guitar quiet often than not. but ukulele is my favorite instrument
Phil ...
My dear wife of 34 yrs is from England, and we've had fun over the years learning one another's vocabulary. We had to alter her phrase "Stick it in your boot" to keep someone from thinking she was telling them off in a rude fashion.
Back to the harmonica, I had some brief adventures with a little Hohner I've got here, and never managed to control the drool successfully. I remember seeing Johnny Cash on TV years ago playing "Orange Blossom Special", and he had three of them in between his fingers to deal with the key changes ... pretty amazing stuff.

hi TF, "stick it in your boot"? never heard that one before, i cant imagine what that means in yankese, but a boot here is what you wear on your feet and it's the bit that sticks out the back of your car what you call "the trunk". also noticeable differences; US "the hood" = UK the bonnet. US "jello" = UK jelly. US jelly UK = jam. fortunately, beer is the same in both countries.
also; German = bier
Turkish = bira
Spanish = cervesa ? what?

A British acquaintance of mine would disagree with you. He thinks American beer is served too "cold and fizzy".

jets,that is what a friend of mine told me also and they drink it mostly at room temp,I guess we all have our own ways but I will stick too my ice cold beer. I have also noticed that most of the english and irish movies show the actors getting dark ale or beer,but those are movies,maybe on of the U.K. members will let us know.

Our church has a Sangean DAR-101 digital mp3 recorder for recording services. The mp3's were not loud enough, even with the line-in volume turned up all the way. MP3Gain did exactly what we needed it to do. With no loss in quality, the volume of the mp3's increased. Simply load the files, hit the analyze button, run the gain correction, and then transfer the files to an mp3 player. You can also customize the amount of increase in gain. Perfect!
This program ist awesome. It just does what it is designed for, with excellent quality, ease of use and very good speed. Thanks for this cool thing, Love it <3
Thanks for Mp3gain, it's perfect!
Very good Software.

Frankly I would go with the guy who actually managed to produce a TD on the field today for the Jets, but hey, that's just me.
Yeah, good point on the no win situations.
As for your claim as to what the coaching staff thinks, consider this. The only thing that moved McElroy up on the chart this week was Tebow's injury. Therefore, using your logic, the coaching staff obviously believes that Tebow is better than McElroy. I mean, Rex came right out and said not that long ago that if Mark got injured, Tebow would take his place.
So, are you sure you want to stick with that line of reasoning ?
BTW, I do appreciate your post. Happy to have an actual discussion instead of just reading "Derp, he not good qb in da NFL".
Frankly I would go with the guy who actually managed to produce a TD on the field today for the Jets, but hey, that's just me.
My opinion is that the Jets want to move Tebow via trade in the offseason... By making him inactive, it allowed them to play G-Mac in the game. Now they have a decent reason to play him moving forward.
They may feel that by playing Tebow in their base offense, his trade value will be non existent...Tebow is the number two in theory only!!! Would not surprise me if Sanchez starts next week, although I am hoping to see GMac...
I actually felt all along that McElroy was the real #2 QB on the roster. I do fear that Tebow is only here for publicity and PSLs.
Even if that was the case, he earned the crazy environment that surrounds him by winning games in "Tebow Time". It's frustrating to watch but you always felt that fear of "what if" starting to take hold of the other team and then, sure as sh!t, Tebow did his thing and the Broncos won.
I hope Tebow stays hurt and gets traded for his own good.
You must be watching different games than me. The most hideous QB played games I've seen are those by Sanchez this year (12 games) and if not for McElroy pulling the game out today, Mark would be 4-8. The last I looked, those hideous games in Denver you talked about last year ended with Tebow and an 8-5 record. Funny how Tebow manages to do that isn't it.
BTW Southside, I'm with you all the way, McElroy is not the future of this team, Tebow has a better shot at that then him.
You've lost your marbles. It's been a traumatic season. Not everyone is emotionally capable of handling it. You should go lie down.
11 Regular season games: 6 INTs 6 Lost fumbles, 46.5 completion %
Because they never intended to take Mark out... If Sanchez gets hurt it is a different story but their intention was to have Sanchez start and finish all 16 games. In college I was listed 3 every week with a Senior listed as the backup on the depth chart. Everytime the starter went down, I went in.
Sanchez has played terrible this year, I am not sure the Jets think much of GM but what an indictment on Tebow that the coaching staff refuses to give him a shot. They see him everyday in practice and think he is no good. They will try to move him for a late draft pick in the offseason or a JAG from another team.
In the end it is not about either one of us being right. I can only assume as a Tebow fan that you want to see him play some football and root for one of your favorite players. Makes sense, its just that I don't think it will happen without injury.
There's absolutely NO good reason to start Tebow now. I mean, yeah, I could agree with you if McElroy had thrown a couple of picks and totally inaccurate. But that wasn't the case. Granted, it was only a quarter and a half, but he did what was asked of him. He was responsible with the football. He made plays when he had to AND he got us the win.
No, you cannot penalize McElroy just to uphold something as stupid as the depth chart.
McElroy should start until the CS finds reason to replace him. They have no reason right now.
It's more than just a coincidence that Rex decided to bench Sanchez in the first game where Tebow was inactive and McElroy was active. He used the most graceful way possible to solve the Tebow problem, much like the Broncos did by bringing in Manning.
I give credit to Rex for this move, and he would be a fool to not stick with McElroy at this point.
Not sure I follow this...
Regardless, Arian Foster wasn't even drafted! Kurt Warner!
Come on... Football people have seen Tebow in the NFL and are not impressed. Not certain it will happen but McErloy is getting his chance now. Lets see what happens. I am not overly optimistic but I think it will be better than what we have been seeing from our QB play the last 16 weeks...
Does Sanchez even dress next week? Two active QBs would have to be Tebow and McElroy.
So do you actually think his teammates who called him "terrible" an "athlete", among other things would be super excited to have him as their QB? Rex would lose the team if he started Tebow, his teammates practice with him everyday and they have no faith in him whatsoever. Get over it, he's not going to play.
I'm not defending Sanchez and if you read my post I said he was terrible in that Broncos game last year ("most hideous QB play, for both teams").
The fact is, if the Denver defense didn't play lights out last year, they aren't sniffing the playoffs.
Do you think if Tebow started every game this year, this team is any better than 5-7? Find me games some games that Tebow's magic along with his sub 50% completion percentage would've overcome a poor defensive performance.

Salsa Lip Lock Seat Clamp $20.00
Put a mean Lip Lock on 'er.
Dr. Evil wished he had the Salsa Lip-Lock to silence that wise-cracking son of his. We like it because it's strong, light, and with the stainless steel pivot nut, the clamp will have a hard time pinching thinwall or carbon seat posts.
The Salsa Lip-Lock comes anodized in Black, Blue, Green Red, and Silver. It comes in 32.0 or 35.0mm diameter sizes. 34 grams.

The style and colors offerings on this clamp is great. They work perfectly as I've not had a slipped post at the recommended torque. After being satisfied with one, I purchased another for a second bike. Great product at reasonable price.
The Salsa Lip-Lock is the best!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was experiencing a lot of slip with my stock QR collar. This solved the problem! I researched this part exhaustively. IMHO, this is the best MTB seatpost collar made -period. (Only the Thompson collar comes close.) In fact, I have been so happy with this seat collar, I consider it a reference quality part like the Thompson Elite seatpost (or stem), Shimano hydraulic disk brakes (or the Shimano hollowtech cranksets), the Rockshox Reverb dropper post, the new Rockshox Pike fork, WTB saddles, and the Light & Motion "Taz" and "Seca" MTB lights.
Made from 7075 series aluminum, CNC machined, and designed by Salsa in the USA... the design of this clamp is ingenious. The SS bolt into internal pivot (nut) design of this clamp sets it apart. The unique design reduces stress on the pinch bolt and fatigue. The pivoting stainless steel threaded insert is like a 1000 times more reliable than threaded aluminum. So, this design creates a STRONG clamp. Your seatpost will not move! BTW, Salsa is a great company and the clamp comes in creative enviro-friendly packaging. Great VALUE.
Buy one for every bike you have!
Works and Looks Great!

It does what it supposed to do. Plus it's got that Bling thing going on. And all at the right price.

I love these clamps! The colors are great! The clamp functions as intended. TIghten her up and forget about it; your seatpost aint goin nowhere?
I use these seat clamps on 4 different bikes
Brian B.
Member since
Use these on every bike I own, and so does pretty much everyone else I know. They lock down tight, and you never have to think about it again. Which is all you really want from a seatpost clamp.
Member since
The quick release clamp that came on my bike wouldn't hold when I was riding the trails. This one hasn't budged since I put it on. Great product.

The General Accounting Office is excited to announce the implementation of TRAVELTracks, the new electronic travel request and reimbursement system, on June 1, 2011. TRAVELTracks is a sustainability/green initiative that will expedite travel-related approval and reimbursement procedures for Texas State faculty and staff by converting the existing paper-based process to a paperless system, obtaining the appropriate approvals via electronic workflow.
This new module in SAP is the culmination of various focus groups, individual feedback, and policy reviews—built with Texas State travelers in mind.
For details, the Accounts Payable and Travel Office has developed a TRAVELTracks website which includes:
Video instructions are also available:
If you have any questions or feedback, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
TRAVELTracks must be used for all travel requests and reimbursements beginning 9/1/11. The previous paper-based travel process will be allowed to continue until then. It begins when the Accounts Payable Office enters an encumbrance (funds commitment document) in SAP based upon an employee's travel application (request). After traveling, the employee completes a travel expense form and physically routes it for approval. The employee then submits the completed, signed, approved form with associated receipts to Accounts Payable to be reimbursed for travel expenses. Find forms, instructions, and additional information on those procedures at the Travel Office website.

WASHINGTON - A drop in voter turnout in Tuesday's election didn't keep President Barack Obama from winning a second term.
Preliminary figures suggest fewer people voted this year than four years ago, when voters shattered turnout records as they elected Obama to his first term.
In most states, the numbers were even lower than in 2004, said Curtis Gans, director of American University's Center for the Study of the American Electorate. Every state but Iowa is showing a smaller turnout than in 2008, Gans said. Still, the full picture may not be known for weeks because much of the counting takes place after Election Day.
"This was a major plunge in turnout nationally," said Gans, who estimated about 126 million Americans voted, for an overall turnout rate of about 57.5 percent.
In Arizona, almost 19 percent fewer people cast ballots than in 2008. In Maryland, where voters approved a ballot measure allowing gay marriage, turnout in the presidential race was running more than 7 percentage points behind 2008. Alaska saw a drop-off of nearly 25 percent over four years ago, when former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was the Republican vice-presidential nominee.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting, The Associated Press' figures showed about 119.5 million people had voted in the White House race, but that number will increase as more votes are counted. In 2008, 131 million people cast ballots for president, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Experts calculate turnout in different ways based on who they consider eligible voters. A separate, preliminary estimate from George Mason University's Michael McDonald put the 2012 turnout rate at 60 percent of eligible voters, a drop-off of more than 2 percentage points from 2008. McDonald said the 2012 figure would likely be revised as absentee votes were counted.
Large drops, according to the American University analysis, came in Eastern Seaboard states still reeling from the devastation from Superstorm Sandy. About 12 percent fewer ballots had been counted in New York than in 2008. In New Jersey, it was more than 10 percent. The gap in New Jersey could narrow in the coming days because elections officials have given displaced residents in some areas until Friday to cast special email ballots.
Making it to the polls in the wake of Sandy may have simply been too much for some affected voters. In Hoboken, N.J., Anthony Morrone said he's never missed a vote - until now.
"No time, no time to vote, too much to do," said Morrone, 76, as he surveyed the exterior of his home: a pile of junked refrigerators, a car destroyed by flooding and a curbside mountain of waterlogged debris.

California. She began modeling at age 16 and worked in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein and Coca-Cola. Her first film role was in "The Mask" with Jim Carrey and she's starred in a number of acclaimed smaller films including the existential black comedy "Being John Malkovich." Diaz also provides the voice of Princess Fiona in the Shrek films.
Early Life
Actress. Born August 30, 1972, in San Diego, California. The daughter of Emilio Diaz, a second-generation Cuban-American oil company foreman, and his wife Billie, who is of Native American, Italian, and German descent, Diaz began modeling when she was 16 years old. Her successful modeling career took her to Japan, Australia, Morocco, and Paris, among other locales, landed her in such magazines as Mademoiselle and Seventeen, and in advertising campaigns for such companies as Calvin Klein, Coca-Cola, and Levi's.Breakthrough Roles
In 1994, Diaz won her first film role in the blockbuster action-comedy The Mask, starring rubber-faced comic Jim Carrey. With no previous acting experience, she had originally auditioned for a supporting character in the film. Twelve callbacks later, however, she was hired to play torch-singing mob moll Tina Carlyle, the female lead. After the success of The Mask, Diaz was touted as the next big thing in Hollywood and wooed by a number of prominent filmmakers to appear in their projects.
While training to star in the live-action film version of the popular martial-arts video game Mortal Kombat, Diaz sustained a wrist injury, which caused her to back out of the film. Instead she made a string of smaller, independent films, including The Last Supper (1995); Feeling Minnesota (1996), costarring Keanu Reeves; She's the One (1996), costarring Ed Burns and Jennifer Aniston; and Head Above Water (1996), costarring Harvey Keitel. She made a successful return to mainstream movies in 1997, winning raves for her portrayal of a sweet bride-to-be opposite Julia Roberts in the playful comedy hit My Best Friend's Wedding.
After starring opposite Ewan McGregor in the uneven romantic comedy A Life Less Ordinary (1997), Diaz made the leap to A-list Hollywood stardom with her savvy comic turn in the unapologetically crude surprise summer blockbuster There's Something About Mary, costarring Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon, and written and directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly. In 1999, audiences saw two very different sides of Diaz first, she camouflaged her blond beauty to play a dowdy pet-shop worker and puppeteer's wife in the much talked-about existential comedy Being John Malkovich, directed by Spike Jonze and costarring John Cusack, Catherine Keener, and Malkovich. Later that year, she turned in a brazen performance as the glamorous, hard-nosed new owner of a professional football team in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday, costarring Al Pacino and Dennis Quaid.
Big Screen Star
Despite her undeniable box office appeal, Diaz continued to appear in relatively low-budget independent film - including the black comedy Very Bad Things (1998), Malkovich, and the ensemble film Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her (2000), which aired on Showtime cable television in 2001 and costarred Glenn Close, Holly Hunter, and Calista Flockhart-as well as more mainstream projects.

Despite legal battle, Apple keeps Samsung inside iPhone
Despite a globe-spanning, bruising legal battle with Samsung, Apple has little choice but to keep getting key parts for its iPhone from the electronics maker, according to sources and a news report.
Those key parts include the iPhone 5's expected main processor, the A5, as well as system memory and flash memory--components that together make up the electronic core.
Sources who track the chip industry say that Apple must stick with Samsung for the time being. Some rumors had claimed that Apple would switch to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for a so-called "shrink" (smaller version) of the A5 for the iPhone 5.
That's simply not doable, sources tell CNET. TSMC has not perfected the advanced manufacturing processes needed to make an A5 for the iPhone and, maybe more importantly, it's prohibitively difficult to jump to a different manufacturer for the same chip design. … Read more

No, not at all. I found it puzzling why Florio incorporated it into the AH story but, it is what it is...at least as PFT is concerned.
Below is the link to the story:
P.S. I don't do things the "Patriot Way" by destroying or tampering with evidence/facts.
No surprise. Afterall, the frauds up in NE did fail again this past post-season. Funny how that works when illegally video taping the opponent is no longer available to the Pats.
My fellow Jet fans, this is just affirmation of what we all continue to say. Once Tammy is gone, you will see the NE trolls gone too. I can assure you had those cheats, aka., "the Patriot Way," won the Superbowl (their first untainted) this past February, DeanPatsFan and the other annoying trolls would be here to shove it in our faces. It won't be long before they are back in hibernation like they were for the first 40+ years of the franchise.
Last edited by jetssjumets; 06-24-2013 at 01:23 PM. Reason: added bolded portion
Everyone knows the Jets are not good, but the Patriots were supposed to be the team to beat last year, until they failed in the post season...... again.
But hey, the Patriots did win those SB's like 10 years ago, that has to count for something to you guys. Problem is, everyone else has forgot about them like 5 or 6 years ago.
Simply not true. The commissioner has the authority to fine or suspend a player for off the field conduct which is "detrimental to the integrity of, or public confidence in, the game of professional football".
Regardless of whether he is being paid right now, the integrity of football is at issue when a high profile player is part of a murder investigation and one of the main things that is widely known is that he destroyed evidence. An employer is certainly permitted to ask their employee to answer questions and if they refuse, as is their right, the employer also has the right to $hit can the guy, or at least in this case, suspend him.
Illustrating that you are as dumb as many of the other Pat trolls, half a century is 50 years. Jets won a legit SB in 1969.
But please keep coming back. We need to be reminded of "the Patriot Way" and those 3 tainted Superbowls. Not to mention that classy circus in NE. LMAO.
Given the bizarre nature of this investigation that has yet to result in an official arrest or charge, I think it's understandable that the NFL and the Patriots are standing on their tiptoes waiting for actual concrete information. The hammer will be dropped soon. The fact that it hasn't yet isn't an indictment on the NFL, despite what all of the NFL conspiracy theorists in here want to claim.
seriously, ASG
the police are trying to build a case so they can put Murderer81 away for 25 years to life where he belongs.
Only secondarily are they concerned with TEAM OF MURDERERS, CHEATERS AND CROOKS.
Sirius radio saying "off the record" police source reporting ... Search of creek / pond over . Nothing found
Or perhaps the investigation is widening as to the exact extent and nature of the cover up.
Was Hernandez advised to destroy evidence by someone else and if so by which Patriots official? Did anyone from the organization actively assist in the efforts to obstruct the course of an active murder investigation? This could get even better.
Patriots black ops.... the light of day... oil and water.
You are delusional at best. "Bizarre nature?" Please tell us what is so bizarre about the on-going AH investigation with the exception that it tears apart the myth of "the Patriot Way" and "classy" organization up in NE? The police continue to do their due dilgence. Not good for AH, and the NE Pats.
Meanwhile, the investigation by the police has nothing to do with Goodell. As Sonny and other have said, he can act today. He has shown in the past to act swiftly with other organizations with much less legal consequences than a murder.
Get a grip.
The NFL is still a playah's league. The League kicked the crap out of the Union with the rookie salary cap and the devaluing of veterans that reduced risk has created.
If the league decides Hernadez is guilty how does that taint a potential jury pool? The league can impact the justice system by prematurely jumping to conclusions. The league also has won the big battle against the players, they don't need to pile on.
The integrity of the game isn't impacted by a player who is being investigated. The integrity of the game is impacted if a player is convicted and still playing. That's not going to happen.
Let's suppose Hernadez isn't arrested at all which is very possible. Why should the Pats or the league get to walk away from their contractual responsibility based on rumor?

Wednesday, 05 March 2014 06:20 Published in National NewsPARIS (AP) — Top diplomats from the West and Russia trying to find an end to the crisis in Ukraine are gathering in Paris on Wednesday as tensions simmered over the Russian military takeover of the strategic Crimean Peninsula.
A team of international observers headed to Crimea, Europe debated the size of its aid package to the nearly bankrupt Ukraine, and NATO prepared to take up the issue directly with Russia in an extraordinary meeting of the military alliance originally created as a counter to the Soviet Union.
The envoys from Russia, Ukraine, the U.S., Britain and France are not necessarily all at the same table, but French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said everyone has been working non-stop for a diplomatic solution.
"We have a principle of firmness but at the same time of searching for dialogue," Fabius said as he stood alongside his Ukrainian counterpart, making his first trip abroad in the new post.
Ukraine has accused Russia of a military invasion after pro-Russian troops took over Crimea on Saturday, placing forces around its ferry, military bases and border posts. Moscow does not recognize the new Ukrainian leadership in Kiev that ousted the pro-Russian president.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking in Spain ahead of meetings planned with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris, warned against Western support of what Moscow views as a coup. If you did that, he said, it would encourage government takeovers elsewhere.
"If we indulge those who are trying to rule our great, kind historic neighbor, we must understand that a bad example is infectious," Lavrov said.
Wednesday's gathering, originally scheduled to deal with the Syrian refugee crisis, came after Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to step back from the brink of war, but the crisis is far from resolved.
"This is my first trip to such an important venue where the Ukrainian future, maybe the future of the region, will be decided," Andriy Deshchytsia, Ukraine's foreign minister, said of the meetings in Paris. "We want to keep neighborly relations with the Russian people. We want to settle this peacefully."
On the flight from Kiev to Paris, Deshchytsia told reporters that Ukraine was unlikely to go to war to prevent Russia from annexing Crimea but said doing so wouldn't be necessary because Russia would be unwilling to suffer the resulting economic penalties and diplomatic isolation.
Ukraine is near bankruptcy, and the European Union's executive arm was supposed to decide Wednesday on a package of support measures to add to the $1 billion energy subsidy package aid promised by the U.S. Russian troops remain.
Russia has suggested that it will meet any sanctions imposed by Western governments with a tough response, and President Putin warned in a press conference on Tuesday that those measures could incur serious "mutual damage."
On Wednesday, members of Russia's upper house of parliament told state news agency RIA Novosti that they had introduced a bill that would freeze the assets of European and American companies working in Russia in reaction to any sanctions.
Associated Press writers Laura Mills in Moscow, Monika Scislowska in Warsaw, Poland, and Lara Jakes and Greg Keller in Paris, and Juergen Baetz in Brussels contributed.

Exciting research suggests that a shot every one to three months may someday give an alternative to the daily pills that some people take now to cut their risk of getting HIV. The experimental drug has only been tested for prevention in monkeys, but it completely protected them from infection in two studies reported at an AIDS conference on Tuesday. "This is the most exciting innovation in the field of HIV prevention that I've heard recently," said Dr. Robert Grant, an AIDS expert at the Gladstone Institutes, a foundation affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco. "Both groups are showing 100 percent protection" with the drug, Grant said of the two groups of researchers. "If it works and proves to be safe, it would allow for HIV to be prevented with periodic injections, perhaps every three months." Until a vaccine is developed, condoms are the best way to prevent infection with the AIDS virus and many other sexually spread diseases. But not everyone uses them, or does so all the time, so public health officials have pursued other prevention options. A drug used to treat people with HIV - Gilead Science's Truvada - also is used to help prevent infection in people who don't have the virus. A big study in gay men a few years ago found it could cut this risk by up to 90 percent, depending on how faithfully people take the daily pills. The new research tested something that could make this type of prevention much more practical - a long-acting experimental drug made by GlaxoSmithKline PLC. The studies tested it in macaques exposed to a human-monkey version of HIV. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave six monkeys shots of the drug every four weeks; six others got dummy shots. All were exposed to the virus twice a week for 11 weeks. The monkeys who got the fake treatment were readily infected "but the animals that received the long-acting drug remained protected," said study leader Gerardo Garcia-Lerma of the CDC. The results mirror what was seen in the CDC's early research in monkeys on Truvada, the pill that's available for HIV prevention now. In the second study, Chasity Andrews and others at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center at Rockefeller University in New York gave eight monkeys two shots of the drug, four weeks apart, and dummy shots to eight others. The animals were exposed to the virus weekly for eight weeks. Again, all animals given the fake treatment were quickly infected and those on the drug were all protected. To see how long a single shot would last, they did a second study. The single shot protected 12 monkeys for about 10 weeks on average. The dose used in a single shot corresponded to what people would get from a shot every three months, researchers said. "This is really promising," said Dr. Judith Currier, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, Los Angeles. The research "supports moving this forward" into human testing, she said. Currier is on the program committee for the meeting in Boston where the studies were presented - the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections. The New York study also was published online by the journal Science. Grant said the long-acting drug is chemically similar to certain AIDS medicines sold now that are "extremely safe, well tolerated and extremely potent." A mid-stage trial testing the long-acting shots in people as a treatment, not a prevention, is already underway, he said. --- Marilynn Marchione can be followed at HTTP://TWITTER.COM/MMARCHIONEAP © 2014 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
