Citing its sources in Taiwan, DigiTimes is reporting that four major smartphone manufacturers are planning to emulate Apple by producing fewer new models each year; Apple is known for concentrating on just one new Apple iPhone model per year...

I've been stating for a while that the android OEMs should learn from Apple and produce fewer handsets per year while giving consumers their best devices.
I still remember the flames from the android camp. Look who's laughing now!! Android OEMs yet again take a page from Apple's playbook.

@ardent I remember when IBM introduced the first smartphone ,now iphone says they invented the smartphone once again iPhone took a page from IBM playbook

I guess you are talking about IBM simon. I do agree with you. But apple was working on touch screen phone way before this.
66. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
@rd1975 The first touchscreen phone was the IBM Simon, second was the HTC Wallaby aka XDA in 2002 way Apple took so long ?

It's the same logic Apple applied to the MP3 player market, the modern smart phone market, and the tablet market.
As you know, Apple was waiting for the technology to catch up to Apple's innovations.
The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, but it dominated the market.
The iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, but it changed the smartphone market and usher in the modern smartphone.
The iPad wasn't the first tablet, heck MS developed the tablet almost 10 years before the iPad but look at the iPad. In its first year, the more iPads were sold than the first 10 years of MS-based tablets.
It's not about being first, its about being the best device for the consumbers. Apple excels at giving consumers what they want.
81. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Actually I disagree on that apple gives consumers what they want, Just cause people they say it's good doesn't mean it is , people don't know what they want if you say is that good way was it call the worst technology of 2010
77. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Actually its IBM who took a page from Apple playbook and copy the personal computer.
Also, Apple doesn't copy IBM -- Apple hates IBM since IBM can't compete in the OS business (both its PC-Dos and OS/2 lost out to MS OS, respectively) plus even IBM left the PC business.
Lastly, Apple created the modern smartphone business because IBM couldn't do it nor RIM or Nokia nor Palm nor HP, etc.

So let's step back a sec and look at that last paragraph...
How is Samsung "following Apple by focusing on one flagship model each year"
does apple release 5 different phones and focus on 1 flagship?
Does Samsung release only 1 phone per year?
Apple releases 1 phone and puts ALL focus on that one phone.
Samsung releases many phones, but signals 1 specific design as a flagship, possible 1 per carrier...
The two are very different. Please, PA, don't just repeat an article for the sake of repeating it.

are you stupid or what? YES, Samsung releases a lot of phones but they only have 1 flagship and it's the SGS2.

8. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
you got to look at the big picture here... HTC, LG Moto dont have a flagship device.. they just released phones aftere another not focusing on a flagship which is what Apple does... Samsung has a flagship device... the Galaxys... they still popped phones every 2 weeks but their main device ,the one they saved the best for (exynos)... is their flagship device..... please PA excuse this underachiever...

arcq12, you stated: "exactly, other companies are envious with Apple"
Don't backpedal or worm your way out after you made your statement.
"other companies are envious with Apple" is a very ambiguous comment.
42. arcq12 (Posts: 733; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
To you, it is, but to me, it isnt.. period.. It's obvious that Android phones are more capable and better than the iPhone, thats why its not envious. HOWEVER, despite the fact that it sucks, Apple is still swimming in their pacific ocean of cash and thats what other companies are envying. end of story.
7. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
dont even think its apple who hype there product any more,the tech sites and media do it pretty much free for them..with the countless rumours created by the tech industry apple get free marketing like no one else.

Less phones in the pipe line water not pouring out slowing to a trickle like going from releasing 25 new phones a year to 9 new phones a year less money spent on developing and more to spend on marketing also slows down tech development to allow market to catch up hardware is way ahead of software in mobile industry consumers not adopting/buying fast enough companies losing money in their investments so slow it down and market less more

Ummm, the Digitimes source article states:
"The strategy shifts come after Apple AND SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS have apparently managed to widen their market share against rival vendors by focusing on a single or some flagship models each year, the sources noted."
Why does the PA article make it appear that everyone is only following Apple for this strategy?
I also see nothing in the DigiTimes article that says anything about "that Samsung had been following Apple by focusing on one flagship model each year." Can you please link the appropriate article?

That´s what I´ve been saying all these years, why dont they just focus all their resources on a single flagship to compete with the iphone then release whatever featured phone they can come up with. That´s the advantage that Apple has over the other OEMs.

because not everybody can buy their f**king iphone for a bag of money despite the fact that it sucks at all and there have to be different models from a single company so they can cover the whole market not one f**king ridiculous phone per year

Why...because theyhave exhausted all measures...what else can you add. We allbknow quad core is in the talks...but really do you need that.. at the pace motola is going with the og droid.. 4 in only 2 years two months after og droid first release...way too many. Just think if you would have had a two year contract when you purchased that phone...look how far you are behind.. see what i am. saying...droid 4 is on the horizon...and you finally get to upgrade from your og droid you purchased october 2009....two years and two months. 4 releases one one phone.
27. Animorphed (Posts: 10; Member since: 28 Oct 2011)
I agree with most comments on this post... A completely fail post and bad interpretation on the side of PA. Apple only releases a single phone because that is a part of their refreshed product line and Apple's line is a limited set. Other manufactures releasing less phones has nothing to do with Apple and more to do with a flooded market. Seriously PA, you all need to get it together if you want to be a trusted source of information for the mobile market. Many of your stories are Apple slants and it's sad to see a "news" outlet falling for Apple marketing so often. How are consumers supposed to come to a site like this for information if all you do is repeat stupid stories with bad information. For those of you trying to make this into and android/iOS war, this has nothing to do with Android either. This only deals with phone manufactures reducing the number of phones they produce in a year to reduce market flooding as they did last year. Side note, Apple is not a phone manufacturer but a limited complete computing line manufacturer. The companies listed above are only mobile device manufactures unlike Apple. Before someone tries to correct that, Samsung and Sony both operate separate mobile divisions for those products and are not part of their TV, Electronics, Computer, or any other product division. Final note to Mobile-X-Pert, the advantage Apple has is not just in a single flagship phone as Apple's phone tech is generally behind. Their advantage is in their product brand and their own successful OS that you cannot get on any other phone.

> Other manufactures releasing less phones has nothing to do with Apple and more to do with a flooded market.
Ahem, Animorphed did forget the simple fact that Apple also sells its iPhones in this flooded market???
Why is it when android OEMs have a problem in the smartphone market, the android camp quickly makes excuses. And when Apple doesn't have the same problem despite selling in the same flooded market, the same android camp holds Apple to a different and higher standard.
If the market is flooded, it must be true to all android OEMs, Apple, RIM, etc. Come on Animorphed, you can do better.

are you stupid iphone costs much more than androids so what flooded market are you talking about when they stays in the most expensive part of the market
64. Animorphed (Posts: 10; Member since: 28 Oct 2011)
Also, @Dark4o90: I'm not sure which side of the coin you were on there but just so you are aware, at least on Verizon, the iPhone 4s holds the same price bracket as the high-end Android hansets. If you were referring to the cost to make the handsets I don't have that information so I can't comment on it.
79. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
> iphone costs much more than androids so what flooded market are you talking about when they stays in the most expensive part of the market
Don't forget, if Apple products are so expensive relative to android devices, and given it is a flooded market, then how do Apple succeed at generating ever greater sales of their phones?
63. Animorphed (Posts: 10; Member since: 28 Oct 2011)
@ Ardent: Spoken like a true Apple fan-boy. Let me clarify for those of you..
The "flooded" market I was referring to was only within the Android market itself. When a single company pushes out a number of phones all with the same OS and closely identical specs. Since you wanted to bring this up as an Apple vs Android issue, Android is having no issue outselling the iPhone across all devices so I'm not sure what problem you think other OEMs are having that Apple is not. The only issue at hand is that Android OEM's are reducing the number of handsets they push out so as not to flood the android market with the same phone in a slightly different skin. That's it. Nothing to do with Apple at all. I still stand by my statement that PA has skewed another story and misinformed Apple fans like yourself attempt to start some iPhone crusade.
There you have it, you're response. I feel like I'm feeding trolls but its not fair to other users looking for real info that I not reply.
(In case you are still confused, 3 iPhones, handful of WP7 and Blackberry devices, and 35+ android handsets.. which of those appears flooded to you?)
80. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
> was only within the Android market itself.
Yes, once again an android fanboy tries worms his was out after putting his foot in his mouth. Again, it's the double standard argument --- a lower standard for android but a higher standard for Apple.
> which of those appears flooded to you?
DUH, it's ONE market!!! It's called the "smartphone market". If you are confused, just ask independent third party market survey takers.
28. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
it doesnt matter what they do because these companies are all after one thing....................our money!!! I will say that Apple has done a good job in marketing and the chaos in China in a great example lol
on the other hand, as long as there are phones to supply consumers demands from from feature phones to smartphones, all is well in the world
30. NateCdogg (Posts: 5; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
In a related anouncement apple stated today that they will not introduce any new devices through 2015. Apple will sell the original Iphone from 2007 on all carriers...
33. speckledapple (Posts: 892; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
Personally regardless of the Apple association, this is something they should have done ages ago. The reason is simple, too many devices, too many choices, not enough support, new phones get old very fast. It was going to eventually hurt the industry so this is a good thing. They should just make sure they have enough support on these devices and offer proper upgrades and they all should be fine. With Android 4.0, there was a focus on a much more refined OS, now its time for producers to refine their releases.
35. ghost__uwi (Posts: 175; Member since: 28 Nov 2011)
I agree with this. That way when I buy a phone the next day it will still be up to date.
37. hepresearch (unregistered)
I have been saying this for months... everyone who truly wants to succeed will have to follow in Apple's footsteps. I don't like it, either, but that doesn't change the fact that it is true. Even many Apple customers don't like the way Apple does things, but they will still loyally follow Apple because Apple knows how to get a response from them just as much as from everyone else. Other OEM's have watched for the past five years, and now the converging truth about current developing consumer behavior and manipulative marketing strategies is demanding that the successful behave the same overall way that Apple does... otherwise, they will fail to be as successful as they would like to be.
As long as most people are willing to loyally bleed themselves dry for these products, lining up at the store front hours before product release and then clawing their way past their fellow consumers to the front door, just because of the regular release schedules, the social mainstreaming and popularization, and the manipulative marketing ploys, things will not change for the better any time soon.

> Even many Apple customers don't like the way Apple does things, but they will still loyally follow Apple because Apple knows how to get a response from them just as much as from everyone else
There's a major flaw in your position. Apple is growing its market share by gaining new Apple newbies -- people who never owned Apple products before. I understand your evanglical views of Apple fanaticism, but that doesn't explain the new recruits to Apple's continued market position despite the Android cartel.
45. hepresearch (unregistered)
Yes, Ardent, I know... I am likely to be one of those Apple newbies in due time. Not because I like the way they run their business and marketing, but because the iPhone is the best solution for my particular needs and desires... I will essentially be selling my soul in the process, but what choice will I have?
I was actually referring to a dozen or so of my friends who have stood in the Apple store line several years in a row for each new iPhone (and sometimes for iPads as well)... they always say how much they hate it that they have to stand in a line to be first to the store on launch day, and yet they do the same thing every year. About half of them are at Berkeley, so I understand it might be the "hip" thing to do when living close enough to Cupertino, but they still say they hate it. And then continue to do the same thing anyway...
As you have said, Apple is gaining market share, and I doubt anyone will truly oppose. Especially with the new patent base that they are developing regarding future tech to enhance or replace touchscreens, I just do not see anyone else being able to develop anything original that could possibly replace or unseat the iProducts. Also, the litigation process will inevitably raise the price of truly competitive products, and the iPhone will remain steady in value as other competing hardware rises in expense. Apple's rule and reign, as long as people are stuck in the "I want, I want, I want... Me, mine, mine..." attitude, will continue unabated, at least until the steady silicon supply runs out...
52. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
Consumers will always have a choice. But the truth is, iphone is just too good not to be considered, even by those who hate Apple's way of business. I was in that position. I loved my N95 and resisted the iphone when it first came out. That's why I missed the first iphone. I hated Apple's walled approach. But the more I played with the iphone at Apple stores, the more I was drawn to it, until I couldn't resist it anymore. Was there magic? Nope. Was there hypnotism? Nope. Was there brainwashing? Nope. There was just that product that works really well as it supposed to. After that, there was no turning back. And the more I got into Apple products, the more I understood why they do the things they do. And it all made sense.
If others want to compete with Apple, then they better come up with devices that works as well as Apple's idevices. That's all it would take. Obviously, android has fallen short. And the only reason why android is doing well, is because it's a decent alternative for idevices. And now that winmo is getting some attention, android should really watch out in 2012.

Special to the Mirror
PORTAGE - The Northern Cambria boys basketball team got back on the winning track Monday night with an out-of-conference pounding over Portage at the Mustangs' Len Chappell Gymnasium.
The 68-28 victory came two nights after the defending District 6 Class A champion Colts, playing in Class AA this season, lost by only two points to Blacklick Valley in the Bill Lamp Memorial Tournament championship at Rockwood.
"We had to show who we are tonight," Northern Cambria coach Dan Weber said. "Anytime you suffer a loss that you maybe don't expect to lose going into the game, you have to be able to dig deep and find your true colors. I delivered a pretty powerful message before the game. You can't hold on to last season's memories. In some cases, we all were."
After a slow start in the first quarter, the Colts found themselves trailing Portage, 6-5. But Jeff Hogan and Adam Polites put a stop to that. The two seniors combined for 13 points in the first frame.
When the Portage defense began double-teaming Hogan, Polites and senior guard Josh Bonatesta took over.
"They held us to five points in the first three minutes," Polites said. "After that, I think we scored 10 points in two minutes. We just got the transition game going and everything started going down for us. We started going inside-out when they started doubling Jeff [Hogan], so Josh [Bonatesta] and I started hitting perimeter shots."
Polites finished with a game-high 25 points, 11 of which came in the second quarter alone. Bonatesta's 22 points were second-best for Northern Cambria. Hogan would finish with 14 points, only recording three points in the second half.
Mike Bryja led the Mustangs with 11 points, scoring three of his four field goals from beyond the arc. But the rest of the Portage offense had difficulty getting started, being held to single digits in all four quarters.
"We knew going in that we were going to struggle offensively," said Mustangs coach Travis Kargo, whose club was playing its first game of the season. "We're still searching for an offensive identity. We're very young, class-wise and experience-wise in the game of basketball."
But Weber believes that, in order to get back near the top of the district, especially after suffering the loss to Blacklick Valley, his defense needed to keep Portage's numbers low on the scoreboard.
"The biggest challenge was to play four quarters," Weber said. "I told the guys that in order to get back to being an elite team, we've got to get back to holding teams to under 50 points. To keep [Portage] under 30 tonight, they did their job."
NORTHERN CAMBRIA (68): D. Bearer 0 0-0 0, Polites 11 0-0 25, Hogan 6 2-4 14, Bonatesta 9 1-4 22, S. Bearer 1 1-2 2, Atkins 0 0-0 0, Eckenrode 0 0-0 0, Hartman 1 0-0 2, T. Olish 1 0-0 2, Z. Lee 0 0-0 0, Jennings 0 0-0 0. Totals 29 4-10 68.

Shpants are NOT clam-diggers. Shpants are long "guy style" shorts worn on girls. This term/nickname was adopted July 2002 at Camp Merri-Mac. Shpants are usually worn by surfer and skater chicks. Remember, shpants are NOT clam-diggers. For all of you that think they are, you need to stop and reconsider.
Teenie Boppers are "too cool" for shpants.

Pants with zip-off bottoms. Can be worn as shorts or pants.

When you go out and meet someone awesome, then spend the entire next day thinking about only them. You can't stop thinking about them in the same way you can't stop a hangover. So you have a 'boy (or girl) hangover.'
I met this awesome guy last night, and now I've got a boy hangover because I can't stop thinking about him.

Construction crews are working a project that could snarl traffic this weekend.
They are doing paving work on westbound Interstate 94 from the Marquette Interchange to just past 35th Street.
All lanes except one were closed at 8 p.m. Friday, and work will continue into morning.
Crews will also pave into Saturday afternoon.
The project started in March and the goal is to add a fourth lane to that stretch of interstate, work the Wisconsin Department of Transportation said drivers will notice.
"Once the fourth lane is open, we'll see complete system improvements," said Michael Pyritz of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
The work is scheduled to end May 6.

The curtains are about to open at The Old Brick Playhouse, offering a full summer curriculum for students of every age.
For 22 years, the Old Brick Playhouse has hosted three weeklong summer camps that teach the basics of stage performance.
"Traditionally, students who participate in summer camp continue later to join our Apprentice program during the school year," said Old Brick Executive Director Missy Armentrout McCollam. "Each summer we try to select subject matter that is both educational and fun."

Children of all ages take part in weeklong summer camps each year at the Old Brick Playhouse in Elkins.
Camp Kids Playhouse elementary school students will study the story of "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. Camp meets from 9 a.m. to noon each day with a lunchtime showcase each Friday open to parents and members of the community.
"Kipling's story has always been popular among young readers," said Old Brick Assistant Director Phil Smith. "It is funny, magical, and teaches a good lesson."
Students will be introduced to characters such as Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera from "The Jungle Book" in order to stage scenes from the prized children's story while exploring the "bare necessities" of life in the Indian wilderness. Children will act like monkeys while learning to act.
The middle week of summer camp called Studi-oli-o is designed for secondary students who have an interest in theater. Secondary students create monologues, perform scenes and put together a musical theatre selection for a lunchtime showcase on Friday that is open to the public.
"Studi-oli-o enables participants to have one-on-one acting coaching with members of the Old Brick staff, while exploring different genres of the craft," McCollam said. "We design the curriculum much like a college course in acting, working with voice, movement, improvisation and comedic scene studies. The environment is incredibly informal but students accomplish a great deal of work in just a week's time."
Camp Kids Playhouse for students ages 5 to 7 is running this week. Students who are ages 8 to 11 begin on June 24. Studi-oli-o for secondary students begins June 17.
For more information or to register your son or daughter for camp, anyone interested can call The Old Brick at 304-637-9090 or log in at www.theoldbrick.org This program is conducted with assistance from the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts.

Weather Journal: Tropical Air Makes Freeze Fade
A slushy Monday will give way to humid, spring-like conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday as forecasters face down a weather system that makes prediction a bit iffy.
The big question is: Just how far north will this tropical air mass get? Since the new system is vastly different than our recent Arctic cold snap — we're going to be half a hundred degrees warmer by Wednesday, and that doesn't even factor in last week's sub-zero wind chills — there's going to be quite the battle royale taking place over Gotham's skies throughout Tuesday.
Here are the contenders: In one corner, cold, dense air with origins near the North Pole. The newcomer in the other corner is a more dynamic, warmer air mass moving up from the south.
The battle lines will stretch from Newark to Westchester to New Haven, give or take 20 miles. North of that line, cold air could stay put for another day, meaning a possible slippery commute for the northern suburbs. South of that line, spring will be in the air — rainy, windy, foggy and warm. The catalyst for change will be a quickly developing extratropical cyclone that will feature winds roaring above hurricane strength just above the surface.
By Wednesday, the newcomer will win out and temperatures will climb into the 50s for nearly all locations across the tri-state. There's a good chance highs could even cross 60 in Central Park, but it won't be a day for sunbathing. Thick clouds, thunder, rain and gusty winds are all more probable than not.
With the resurgence of warmer weather, New York City is assured of yet another warmer-than-average month once January ends. Despite the bitter cold that lasted nearly a week, the month should finish among the 40 warmest starts to the year since the Civil War.
Weather Journal's Greater New York forecast roundup for Monday:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 48; High feels like: 42
- Actual Low: 44; Low feels like: 39
- Weather: Rain and possibly much warmer temps
- Brooklyn: 45/42
- Queens: 46/42
- Bronx: 47/42
- Staten Island: 45/42
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 42/35
- Trenton, N.J.: 50/44
- Islip, Long Island: 43/40
- New Haven, Conn.: 43/37

Located at the Hükümet Meydanı, where one can also see some fine early 20th century buildings like that of the PTT, the T.C. Ziraat bank and some others, stands the fine Şerafeddin mosque, originally a Selcuk mosque that has been rebuilt after 1630. It is described as a copy of the Kiliç Ali Paşa mosque in Istanbul by Sinan, itself a copy of the Haghia Sophia. I understood the minaret has toppled several times, and that the whole mosque has been restored in 1983.

, updated November 6, 2012 at 9:19 AM
Amherst Supervisor Barry Weinstein had a resident thrown out of Monday night's Town Board meeting for monopolizing the lectern during several of the board's public hearings and ignoring repeated requests to sit down and behave.
Williamsville resident Thomas Frank was escorted from the council chambers by the assistant police chief without incident. Monday marked the first time Weinstein has had anyone ejected from a board meeting.
"He was more disruptive than usual," Weinstein said after the meeting. "I didn't do it lightly."
A regular attendee of both Amherst and Williamsville board meetings, Frank speaks at great length on a meandering array of topics at every opportunity, often reluctant to leave the lectern when his speaking time has expired.
His themes typically revolve around the environment or history, and have elicited eye rolling, pleading, rebukes and gavel banging from elected officials because of his aggressive speaking style and his propensity of straying from the topic at hand.
As a resident of the town and village, however, he has the same right to be heard as all other residents who come to speak before the boards. In fact, he is usually met with polite forebearance by the Village Board.
Weinstein, however, is more no-nonsense when it comes to Amherst Town Board meetings. The Amherst board had seven public hearings Monday night, an unusually high number, and Frank had already spoken off topic during two of the hearings when things escalated.
The supervisor interrupted Frank the first time he spoke, saying that Frank's comments had nothing to do with the public hearing issue. Frank responded by collecting his things and storming out, only to return and speak at the next public hearing.
At the public hearing after that, regarding a resolution to require the installation of neighborhood sidewalks, Frank again got up to speak, ignoring a plea from Weinstein to sit down and let other waiting neighborhood residents have their turn.
That's when Weinstein asked Assistant Police Chief Charles Cohen to escort Frank out of the chambers. Council Member Mark Manna interjected, asking Frank if he would agree to sit quietly.
"Mr. Frank, if you agree to just sit there and be observant and respectful, I'm fine with you staying," he said.
Weinstein responded by saying, "Assistant chief, the chair is asking you to remove him."
Manna then challenged the ruling of the chair. When Weinstein was silent, Manna said, "Are you going to ignore the Rules of Order? If you do so, you are no better than Mr. Frank, who is ignoring the Rules of Order."
Weinstein subsequently asked if his ruling should be overturned. Council members Guy Marlette, Barbara Nuchereno and Steven Sanders voted no, and Manna and Council Member Richard "Jay" Anderson voted yes.
Frank was escorted out after asking for handcuffs and requesting to return after the public hearings were over so he could speak during the public expression period.
That led Manna to ask, "How long is he removed for?"
Weinstein answered, "For the rest of the day."

I thought it was a great episode. Hoothoot is a pretty cool Pokémon and it's the first time in a long time that I actually got to see it without with both legs. Gary made a rather random appearance here though which was pretty pointless.

Fighting for real American turtles everywhere. Pro-Turtle since 6/30/13
Didn't like this episode. It was cool however to see Hoothoot for the 1st time. They say you can't see the change, but it is very noticeable. The whole episode didn't show anything of note to me...
Didn't like this episode to much. But seeing Hoothoot was cool and seeing it only had one foot.
Pokemon HeartGold team:
This was so funny, Hoothoot pecking Ash and liking Misty! And Gary being lucky getting the last "normal" Hoothoot. When Ash said there were no pretty girls, he didn't mean it. I don't see Misty as pretty, but I'm sure Ash does (I'm a PokeShipper). That old woman shouldn't have been mad, she's a woman, not a girl.
My fanfics:
Aquatic Passion (multi-chaptered fic)
Misty, The Mysterious Mermaid (oneshot)
Together Forever (drabble collection)
Love, South Park Style (oneshot)
Working On A Dream (multi-chaptered fic)
Merry Christmas (oneshot)
Seaking Catching Day (oneshot)
Awareness (multi-chaptered fic)
Changes (multi-chaptered fic)
I liked the idea of needing a Hoothoot to navigate through the forest cause of some trouble making Ghost Pokemon. It was adorbz seeing Hoot Hoot attached to Misty. It was great how he saved her from the ghost illusions after knowing that Misty truly did believe in him.

It's Bellossom!
Hagatha... what a brilliant name! This was an alright episode. It was nice to see Ash getting pecked, and a Pokémon that was sort of similar to Brock. I wouldn't mind a bunch of Haunter and Gengar making an illusion like they did for Team Rocket at the end.
I didn't like how Gary was in this episode for like 5 seconds...why bother putting him in if he's not going to do anything? Oh well, aside from that I thought the rest of the episode was pretty good. I thought the illusions were pretty interesting and fun to watch. Also, I liked Hagatha and Nagatha, mostly because of how scary looking they were.
~ * * ~
Nice episode, I think it's kinda under-rated, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.
Considering Gary's appearance rate was pretty low for most of Johto (Excluding the Johto League of course) he appeared pretty fast already. I think this episode was hilarious while simultaneously having a great plot. Hoothoot was hilarious with Ash xD.
Haha. That Hoothoot was too funny when it was pecking Ash. I do wonder what Pokemon Gary caught in the forest though. And haha, it likes Misty.
It started off silly but I got into it as it progressed! I would have liked Ash to have kept HootHoot but I guess it belongs to Hagatha and Agatha lmao, it was funny when they thought Hagatha was an illusion

But you still gotta catch 'em all
And be the best that you can be!
Typical Gary getting the last good Hoothoot and leaving the others with the bad one.
My top favorites
Claimed by me!
Formerly Painkiller2001
I like spooky episodes so this one was very fun to watch. Hoothoot disliking Ash and liking Misty more was funny even if he was a coward for most of the episode and a few of the illusions that the ghost pokemon made were creepy.
Meh, the Hoothoot was a coward and I thought that Ash did well in trying to get Hoothoot to become braver. Lol at Gary's cameo btw.
The 2 old ladies were entertaining and so was Hoothoot when it attacked Ash. I was happy to see Gary appear too even if it was just a minor scene. 7/10
My favorite scene was when Hoothoot attacked Ash's head. Nagatha and Hagatha were funny and I thought that one of them was Agatha from R/B/Y.

"...seeing as it is a German name, it should really be pronounced "Soice" - the way Geisel said it himself! Ted eventually switched this anglicized pronunciation himself, since most people already said it that way and it "evoked a figure advantageous for an author of children's books to be associated with - Mother Goose.

"Zooce"- because "Soose" has way too many 's's in it.

Geisel's pen name is regularly pronounced /ˈsjuːs/ sewss, an anglicized pronunciation inconsistent with his German surname. He himself noted that it rhymed with "voice" (his own pronunciation being /ˈsɔɪs/ soyss) and Alexander Liang (his collaborator on the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern) wrote of him:
You're wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn't rejoice
If you're calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice.
Geisel switched to the anglicized pronunciation because it "evoked a figure advantageous for an author of children's books to be associated with—Mother Goose" and because most people used this pronunciation.
For books that Geisel wrote and others illustrated, he used the pen name "Theo LeSieg" ("LeSieg" is "Geisel" spelled backward).

Baseball Goes 1-1 in Saturday Action in Virginia
Ball State's baseball team defeated Rider 5-4 in 10 innings in its second game of the day in Lynchburg, Va., Saturday. The Cardinals opened the day's play with a 13-0 loss to Liberty, who is the pick to win the Big South Conference in the league's preseason poll.
With the split in Saturday's games, the Cardinals are 8-3 on the season. Ball State will play Liberty at Noon Sunday to complete its three days in Lynchburg, Va.
The Rider game was deadlocked at 4-4 through nine innings, but an Alex Maloney single to left opened the top of the 10th for the Cardinals. Maloney advanced to second on an Alex Call sacrifice bunt, and then a Sean Godfrey single moved Maloney to third. Maloney scored on the play when the left fielder couldn't handle the ball and Ball State moved ahead 5-4.
In the bottom of the 10th, Liberty opened the inning with a single, but the Cardinals retired the next three Flames in order to seal the victory.
Zach Plesac pitched the final 3.2 innings, allowing only three hits and striking out five to earn the win and improve to 4-0 on the season. Jacob Brewer started the game, while B.J. Butler and Tyler Jordan pitched the middle five innings and combined to allow no runs while striking out three.
Ball State opened the day's scoring vs. Rider with a four-run second inning, but Rider bounced right back with four runs in its portion of the same inning.
Caleb Stayton led off the second inning with a single to centerfield before Jarrett Rindfleish was hit by pitch and Sean Kennedy singled to load the bases. An Alex Maloney single through the left side of the infield scored Stayton and gave Ball State a 1-0 lead. Alex Call stepped to the plate and laced a double to right plating three runs and putting the Cardinals in the lead 4-0.
In the first game of the day, Liberty managed 13 runs on 15 hits, while limiting the Cardinals to zero runs on four hits.
Ryan Spaulding, Cole Greisinger, Caleb Stayton and Alex Call each registered one hit for Ball State.
Scott Baker started the game on the mound and lasted only two innings, allowing five runs and getting credited with the loss.

DUNKIRK – A pair of stabbing incidents that occurred within a short time of each other Friday in the city of Dunkirk are under investigation by Dunkirk Police.
Authorities said the first stabbing occurred just after 3 p.m. at 404 Central Ave. There, an apparent argument turned violent and a Dunkirk man, who was trying to diffuse the situation, was stabbed in the shoulder. His name was not released. Police said he was treated at Brooks Memorial Hospital before being transferred to the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo with serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.
Just before 4:30 p.m., at 95 Lincoln Ave., police arrived to find a victim with multiple stab wounds. He was treated at the scene and also taken to Brooks and then to ECMC. His injuries were reported as serious.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Dunkirk Police at (716) 366-2266.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
AbbVie and Galapagos said today they will develop and commercialize new oral therapies for cystic fibrosis (CF) in a deal that could net Galapagos as much as $405 million.
The companies will develop potentiators to increase the activity of the main mutations in the CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) protein, as well as correctors designed to correct defects in CFTR protein expression. Mutations targeted by the collaboration include F508del, which is 90% prevalent in people with the disease, and G551D.
AbbVie and Galapagos said they aim to initiate Phase I clinical studies at the end of 2014. Upon successful clinical development and regulatory approval, AbbVie will oversee commercial activities, with Galapagos retaining exclusive rights in China and South Korea, and co-promotion rights in its home country of Belgium, as well as the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The collaboration marks AbbVie's second with Galapagos. The first partnership focuses on developing GLPG0634, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, against rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It was expanded in May to include Crohn's disease. AbbVie agreed to pay Galapagos $50 million upon successful completion of a Phase IIa/b study, set to launch early next year and generate topline results in Q2 2015, the companies said at the time. Galapagos acquired rights to GLPG0634 from GlaxoSmithKline after an arthritis alliance with that company ended.
Also, just yesterday, AbbVie inked an up-to-$840 million collaboration with another Belgian drug developer, Ablynx, to further develop and commercialize the latter's ALX-0061 nanobody®, which targets the interleukin-6 (IL-6) pathway, as a therapy for inflammatory diseases. AbbVie is seeking successors to its blockbuster Humira (adalimumab), which was last year's top best-selling drug [See "Top 20 Best-Selling Drugs of 2012," published in GEN on March 1].
In the latest collaboration, AbbVie will pay Galapagos $45 million up front, while the companies will share responsibility and funding for Phase III clinical development upon successful completion of undisclosed milestones. Galapagos is eligible to receive up to $360 million in total additional payments for undisclosed developmental and regulatory milestones, as well as milestone payments for minimum annual net sales thresholds, and additional double-digit royalty payments on net sales.
"Our programs in CF show promise," Galapagos CEO Onno van de Stolpe said in a statement. "Partnering with AbbVie allows us to ramp up our commitment significantly, share development risk and expertise, and increase our chances of bringing best-in-class therapies to CF patients."
Galapagos launched its CF research in 2005 with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which resulted in 19 novel disease-modifying targets validated in the standard preclinical model for the disease. Galapagos secured all rights to these targets and has started to develop small molecule therapies against a select group of these targets. Five years later, the company opted to discover, develop, and launch its own medicines for CF and other orphan diseases.
With upfront AbbVie cash in hand, Galapagos said it will raise its guidance to investors on its projected year-end cash balance from €100 million ($134.7 million) to €125 million ($168.4 million). The company's guidance for projected 2013 group revenues will stay unchanged at €160 million ($215.5 million).

Meet me in St. Louis a month from now.
Oh, wait – St. Louis may not be there a month from now. For that matter, you and I may not be here (or there), either.
If the doomsayers are right about apocalyptic shock and awe accompanying the end of the Mayan calendar, which concludes on Dec. 21, that gives us a little more than three weeks to make the most of the time we've got left on the planet.
Will the end of the Mayan calendar mean the end of the world?
Only time will tell. Either way, there's still plenty of time left to prepare for the big end-of-the-world weekend of Dec. 21-23. Look at it this way: If the world does end on Dec. 21, you won't have to pay any credit card bills you run up between now and the Mayan Meltdown, so why not go all out? Break out the plastic and take off Dec. 21, a Friday.
And if the world keeps going?
Then you're right smack dab in the middle of a three-day weekend for celebrating your continued existence and plenty of time left to work come Monday morning. So find a place to party or pray or eat or sleep or make wild, passionate love. Maybe you want to hunker down with loved ones (or just that special someone) and avoid the madness of The End, which is absolutely understandable. It could get messy.
On the other hand, even end-of-the-world party people are social animals, so why not consider some of the options listed below?
We start with doomsdayparty2012.com, a website devoted to preparations for the big day. The site suggests such fun Mayan Calendar-2012 party games as "Doomsday Drinking Game," "Pin the Tail on the Horseman" and "Pandemic Pictionary." Descriptions of these delightful activities can be found on the website.
Personally, that sounds like more of a preliminary party, so The Punditty Project searched out some more intriguing possibilities.
At the top of that list has to be Synthesis 2012 in Mexico, a "sacred global gathering in the close proximity of the temple of Quetzalcoatl/KulkulKan at Chichen Itza," according to the website. Sounds like the place to be if you want to be in Mayan territory when the big day arrives.
Fortunately, the Synthesis 2012 website makes it clear that A) all the hype about the End of Days arriving on Dec. 21 is just that, hype, and B) the event runs from Dec. 20 to Dec. 23. Those last two days won't just be wasted time spent in the void. The site offers this reassuring perspective:
Contrary to media sensationalism, the end of the Mayan Calendar does not mean the end of the world. When we listen to the words of the Mayan Elders, we learn that the end of the Mayan Calendar is comparable to watching your car's odometer roll over to all zeroes. The Mayan prophecies foretell of a transition to the age of the 5th Sun, a new time when consciousness, prosperity and the Divine Feminine prevail.
I'm all for a fifth Sun, but I think a second moon would be pretty cool, too.
If you can't make it to Mexico, there's always Egypt. The Great Convergence is set for Dec. 20-22, with a five-day Nile River cruise option also available. The website makes the intentions of the event organizers clear:
This Winter Solstice, December 20-22, 2012 we will be gathering from across the globe for a once in a lifetime experience at the Great Pyramids to intentionally celebrate this potent, transformational time in our lives.
As we converge at this powerful place at this particular time, we will be acknowledging and participating in a great astronomical alignment, drawing upon the lessons and wisdom from our past and inspiring us in our creations for the future.
Lo and behold, another optimistic take on the end of the Mayan calendar. Let's just hope that the "creations for the future" in Egypt do not include new president (and "new pharaoh") Mohamed Morsi getting any ideas about destroying the pyramids.
If Oceania is more appealing to you than Mexico or the Middle East, there's the Uplift Festival in Byron Bay, Australia. With speakers like futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard, Patch Adams (yes, the same doctor Robin Williams played in a movie by the same name) and "The Biology of Belief" Bruce Lipton, this particular 12-21-12 out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new Mayan Calendar celebratory getaway could be just the thing for people looking for transformation instead of devastation on Dec. 21.
And yes, the good news continues: The Uplift Festival is slated to run through Dec. 23.
On second thought, maybe it isn't such a good idea to run up enormous credit card bills before Dec. 21 hoping that Dec. 22 won't arrive. Maybe getting a good night's sleep would be the best preparation of all for a fresh start.
