This year's Best Documentary Oscar winner is Inside Job, finally out on DVD, and deserving of the hype. In a way, these guys were lucky that Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story was ineligible for the Oscars last year, because in my estimation Moore's film surely would have won, and the Academy isn't lkely to give an Oscar to two documentaries on the same subject in consecutive years. The comparisons with Moore's film are obvious, and there are many. For me though, Inside Job is more reminiscent of another classic documentary, Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room.
Both films break down something incomprehensible and present a picture of corporate fraud and corrupt business practices in a way I can understand. I tried, when the financial meltdown came in 2008, to understand what the hell was going on. I couldn't make head nor tail of credit default swaps and derivatives and predatory lending and all those terms that were flying around the news. Then again, the people who were supposed to be regulating that stuff couldn't understand most of it either. The whole point of the scheme was that almost no one could understand.
After watching Inside Job, I have a much better understanding. It's laid out in simple language, with simple graphics, exactly how the massive con job went down. It points the finger at those responsible – Alan Greenspan, Hank Paulson, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and so on. Now, it doesn't go FULLY into detail. I assume that's the stuff that is incomprehenisble to most of us – how, exactly, are banks able to gamble on the failure of a loan that they themselves set up? I understand that they do, but not exactly how it's done.
No matter though. What Inside Job does is show how the corruption in the financial industry (in the States primarily, but also all over the world – the film begins in Iceland) is pervasive from the top down. The federal agencies who are supposed to prevent this sort of thing are mostly staffed by the very people who have the most to gain from the unethical activity. The college professors (at Harvard, Columbia, etc) who make most of their money outside those institutions, who then teach deregulation as a matter of course because it serves their own interests. And everyone in between who just wants to show how rich they are by purchasing a fleet of private jets, yachts, penthouses and eight different multi-million dollar homes across the country.
A small amount of attention is paid to the corrupt culture of Wall Street – the cocaine and hookers that are written off as business expenses as a matter of course by just about everyone at just about every major bank, insurance company and corporation. And a small amount of attention is paid to the devastating consequences of the 2008 collapse – the people who lost their houses, lost their jobs, ended up homeless. But most of the film is an explanation. And an excellent one. How did this happen? WHY did it happen? And how come it seems as though nobody learned from their mistakes? Why haven't we fixed all the things that so obviously need to BE fixed? And, as director Charles Ferguson said in his Oscar acceptance speech – why hasn't anyone gone to jail?

Discuss: DHM on GMGames.org
Dabo Hockey Manager (DHM) is the working title of a hockey manager game which has been under development since the beginning of 2010. It started out as a solo project by dabo but today a lot more people are involved; currently there are three programmers and +10 researchers working on creating the most extensive database in a hockey manager game to date. The project has gained a lot of interest in the hockey manager community and ideas and suggestions are pouring in.
In short DHM aims to fill the void after NHL:EHM while at the same time provide easier and far greater customization capabilities which ultimately allows you to create your own virtual hockey world.
A list of planned features for the first release will be compiled and presented shortly.

Ticks and tick-borne diseases: a One Health perspective
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 28, Issue 10, 1 October 2012, Pages 437-446
Filipe Dantas-Torres, Bruno B. Chomel and Domenico Otranto
AbstractTick-borne diseases are common occurrences in both the medical and veterinary clinical settings. In addition to the constraints related to their diagnosis and clinical management, the control and prevention of these diseases is often difficult, because it requires the disruption of a complex transmission chain, involving vertebrate hosts and ticks, which interact in a constantly changing environment. We provide a contemporary review of representative tick-borne diseases of humans and discuss aspects linked to their medical relevance worldwide. Finally, we emphasize the importance of a One Health approach to tick-borne diseases, calling physicians and veterinarians to unify their efforts in the management of these diseases, several of which are zoonoses.

Trends in Parasitology, Volume 15, Issue 7, 1 July 1999, Pages 258-262
P. Willadsen and F. Jongejan
AbstractThe first experimental vaccination against ticks was carried out 60 years ago. Since then, progress has been slow, although the recent commercial release of a recombinant vaccine against Boophilus microplus is significant. The nature of naturally acquired protective immunity against ticks is poorly understood, particularly in the important, domesticated ruminant hosts. Characterization of the antigens of naturally acquired immunity remains limited, although more has been achieved with 'concealed' antigens. Crucial questions remain about the true impact of tick-induced immunosuppression and the effect of immunity on the transmission of tick-borne diseases, despite some fascinating and important recent results, as discussed here by Peter Willadsen and Frans Jongejan.

Emerging roles of basophils in protective immunity against parasites
Trends in Immunology, Volume 32, Issue 3, 1 March 2011, Pages 125-130
Hajime Karasuyama, Takeshi Wada, Soichiro Yoshikawa and Kazushige Obata
AbstractBasophils, the least common type of granulocyte, have long been considered as minor effector cells in allergic responses because of their ability to release allergy-inducing chemical mediators such as histamine and leukotriene C4. However, it is unlikely that many animal species evolutionarily conserve basophils to only elicit allergic responses without any host-beneficial function. The study of basophils has been hampered by their rarity and difficult identification, as well as the lack of suitable animal models. Recent studies using novel analytical tools, including basophil-depleting antibodies and genetically engineered mice deficient only in basophils, have illuminated the crucial and nonredundant roles for basophils in protective immunity against both ecto- and endoparasites.

Guineafowl, ticks and Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever in Turkey: the perfect storm?
Department of Biology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA
To control ticks carrying the emerging Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Turkey the government is introducing thousands of exotic helmeted guineafowl (Numida meleagris). However, not only do these birds eat negligible numbers of ticks, but they are also excellent nurseries for the young of Hyalomma marginatum ticks, the best vectors of CCHF.

Silkie Live Set at GetDarker
If you think that dubstep ought to be either aggressiv noise or deep and dark vibes to be heard in a shady basement, you probably missed the man called Silkie. With his funk inspired sound, Silkie really stands out of the mass of dubstep' producers. His sound-ambience is bright and overall positive and even though it is not simple build-up-drop music, it is straight dancefloor business. His DJ sets generally are brilliant and they benefit from his excellent selection.
Listen to it, its worth any second.

I always throw in a freeze dried dinner or two as food insurance. Haven't needed them the last few years so I have a stockpile for this years trip.
If you're not sure if you're packing too much you could make a list of everything you intend to bring and we can throw in our two cents about it.
Re food:
Ditto per Bannock, don't plan on living off the land unless you have done it before. I don't think you'd starve, but I think it would keep you from having a more enjoyable time.
My experience (backpacking & SAR- not canoeing) is to bring at least one day's extra food depending upon the circumstances (time of year, weather, terrain, remoteness, number of people in party, etc.) for "just in case" purposes. If you can catch fish everyday and eat hardy ...great.
I always bring food back from a trip and consider it insurance.
"Anybody know of any good books detailing the edible plants/vegetables in the BW? It would be nice not to have to carry as much and say I foraged for food too!"
For the time of year you're going, stick with blueberries, raspberries, and fish. AND don't count on any of them to supplement your diet. Look at them as a bonus if you happen on them.
Anybody know of any good books detailing the edible plants/vegetables in the BW? It would be nice not to have to carry as much and say I foraged for food too!
correct. deet is activated by skin. its ineffective when applied to clothing.
"try putting a good dose [DEET] on a bandana and then wear the bandana around your neck"
I don't recommend this. I did it once and got a bad rash. It looked like I had been hanged. Besides, it is my understanding that DEET is only effective on skin.
This board is great for information and to get your questions answered. If you want to read about how an entire trip goes, go to the Trip Reports section and read some of those. Also buy a copy or two of some back issues of the Boundary Waters Journal. That's got some good stuff in it also.
Will you be going through an outfitter? They are tremendous sources of information. Once you decide which general section of the BWCA you want to go to (Ely area, Gunflint area, Sawbill area, etc) use an outfitter from that specific region. They know their areas well. They can even get your permits for you.
Or in state, for that matter. And you will need a trout stamp to fish on any designated trout waters- whether that's what you're fishing for or not.
Yeah, it's still incredibly cheap to camp in the BW. But don't forget your fishing liscense if you are out of state.
just for the day you go in
Ok, I am starting to wrap my head around this. I still have one question about permits though. For a week long trip am I only going to need an entry permit for the day I head into the waters? Or will I need permits for each day I will be camping?
bwca basics (from here)
Your permit is all you need to go anywhere you can get to in the bdub as long as you would like to be there (with the only restriction being 14 consecutive nights at the same campsite). To reserve a permit for your particular EP/date is $12 (or was last year, anyway- haven't made one yet this year). I would highly recommend reserving a permit so you know that you will be able to get in where you want to go on the date you want. Note- a permit is only good for that date, you cannot go in earlier or later.
So I understand that for two adults the entry point fees are $18 per person, totaling $36. Correct? And if so... Are there other fees that I need to cover? I am trying to figure out how much it's going to cost just to have complete access to the BW without getting in trouble by Ranger Rick! And one more thing, I need a wilderness permit to pitch a tent in the BW correct?
Since you have plenty of time before your trip, contact the several outfitters associated with this site. They will fill your mailbox with great info and some even send complimentary maps for planning purposes. I have two maps marked with my intended route here at the office I stare at every day.
One map came from Canadian Waters and the other good planning map came from Sawbill. Thanks to both of them and the others for great stuff! I ended up with Tuscarora on Round Lake.
109 days and counting....
My son and I have taken mid-August trips the last three years and have found the fishing to be quite good. Plus the weather is nicer and the bugs are way down. But early to mid June is prime time for fishing most species.
Yeah, the big laminated overview of the Q and bdub looks nice on the wall in my spare room. Sometimes I'll pull it down and do a little dreamin'.
Also, get yourself a copy of a Fisher or McKenzie map that covers the entire BWCA. Not really useful for an actual trip (not enough detail for navigating) but nice for trip planning- and dreaming!
Get yourself a copy of "Exploring the Boundary Waters" by Daniel Pauly. It has a great introduction to the area including geology, rules, equipment lists, etc. and detailed descriptions of trips from each of the entry points in the bdub. (Sure is nice not to have to think about Gdub any longer...)
I go exclusively in aug and Sept and the fishing can be real good especially early morning and evenings. But I've also seen it slow. Seems like when it's high pressure (sunny days) it's tougher. If it's cloudy you could be in for good fishing.
Fly fishing on the surface might be tough at that time of year. I would bring along spinning rods too. If you're not sure about lure choices start a thread in the Fishing section of this board. We love to talk about lures!
Or if you want to go with live bait exclusively you might want to talk to the resident live bait guru who is also an outfitter in Ely and can outfit your needs. His name is The Great Outdoors (on this board) or "Minnow Man" as I like to call him. :)
Do other people feel this way about the fishing really slowing down in august? Because my friend wont be in the USA until mid July at the earliest and he is who I plan on making this trip with. Is there a noticeable difference in fish activity if we couldn't make it up there until mid July? We are both fly-fisherman as well and could use some tips for fly-fishing this area. We are only used to fly-fishing for trout in tiny streams in Iowa.
Bugs can be a concern, but if there are any, it'll probably be the unofficial Minnesota state bird (mosquitoes) and some of those annoying biting black flies. I always bring along some bug dope that has a high concentration of a chemical called DEET in it, like Muskol brand repellant. The important thing I've found is that when I spray myself with bug dope, I do it BEFORE I enter the canoe and away from all of my fishing gear. Almost nothing works better to keep fish off your line than a good healthy taste of bug dope. Repellant also does not go good with fishing line either, so I try to avoid spraying any on my hands, try putting a good dose on a bandana and then wear the bandana around your neck, or around the brim of your fishing hat. I also like to wear long sleeved nylon based shirts up north, this will also help to keep the bugs off you, as well as regular long pants.
Also, I would suggest a good pair fishing sunglasses with POLARIZED lenses. The sunglasses will help keep the sun's glare from hurting your eyes and help you to see much better thru the water- yes, you can actually see through the water on most lakes up in the BWCA. No need to get a fancy pair of $150 sunglasses, I buy the cheapy $20 fishing glasses at my local Walmart and they work fine for my trips.
Try fishing early in the morning, before 9am, and anytime after dinner, 7pm, till dark. Walleyes especially like to feed when the sun is not beating down on them. Look for structure along the shoreline, points of land sticking out into the lake, rockpiles, trees that have fallen over into the water, etc... VERY IMPORTANT- if the lake you are on has any islands, FISH AROUND THEM!!!! Islands are one of the key types of structure on any lake that has any. You can even try to land the canoe on an island and walk around the shoreline of the island fishing from land- it's fun and usually will produce some type of action.
Hope this helps and good luck with your trip, Dave
firsttime....after you get your permit, it's first come first serve at campsites. Only one group to a campsite and you must stay at a designated campsite.
"We will positively be there primarily for the fishing, walleye and pike."
If you are really serious about catching fish, you might consider June. It gets a little slow in the dog days of August.
Each lake in the BW is different as is some lakes may only have one camp site while others may have 30. In general most camp sites are at least 100 yards apart, not like car camping where you are 10 feet apart.
The slight drawback is sound travels far in the BW, it is common to hear conversations from across the lake. If you are looking for more privacy you will have to work a little harder for it (longer portage).
You will find great info on this web site on ways to trim your gear, clothing and fishing gear.
Enjoy your trip.
You don't have to worry about rubbing elbows with a large group of family campers. In fact, you can get remote enough where the rare passage of a canoe is reassuring (in case you start wondering if the rest of the rat, I mean human, race was wiped out by a virus). A young fellow like yourself (you did use the word "awesome," didn't you?) should be able to reach one of the more remote areas, if that is what you really want.
I don't think hiking from a camp site is a common option. The woods are a little on the dense side.
We will positively be there primarily for the fishing, walleye and pike are what we hope for. If we can do some hiking around the area that would be fun as well. Our biggest concern is that we don't want to arrive on a site that is loaded with visitors, especially family campers. We really want to rough it and ideally like to have somewhere to ourselves that includes awesome fishing. Once we get our entry point do we still have to reserve a camp site or is it kind of first come first serve? Thanks!
First of all you don't "reserve " a spot on a lake. You have to get a BWCA Permit for an Entry Point into the BW. You can get this thru the US Forest Service or thru an outfitter. Once you have an entry point ( and you determine this point if it is available at the time you wish to go ) you are free to go anywhere in the BW you want. Camping is only permitted at a US Forest Service site and these are marked on maps. The are not marked in the wilderness but they will have an USFS firegrate and latrine. You can stay on one site for a maximum of 14 dyas. Read up on the rules and follow them as failure to do so can result in some hefty fines. Bugs are usually OK at that time of year but be prepared for them anyway. Watch the weather and be ready for sudden changes. Do some reading and see what area interest you and then post back here. There is a lot of information available and we need to know more what interests your group ( fishing , sightseeing , etc ) so recommendations can be given. But remember you have to carry everything in and back out so pack light. Good luck in your selection. Izzy

I've been to the BW 2 times and going back for a third this summer. Didn't start getting into what a valuable resource this site is until a couple months ago. Wish I found this site before my previous trips. Utilize the search function above and you'll find more useful info than you can imagine.
Beware though, this place is addicting. I'm looking on these boards most every day now. You'll find some excellent tips on fishing, gear, how to pack, what to do, what not to do and come upon the occassional debate which I find interesting to read.
Best advice I can give is to read up as much as you can. You have plenty of time to stock up on gear and what not. Try to avoid buying everything at once. Even though it's tempting to go crazy buying stuff, pace yourself. You have time. Planning the trip and acquiring gear is all part of the fun of the trip. Makes you vested in vs a regular vacation where you just book a flight, hotel and that's it. One thing you'll hear over and over, DON'T OVERPACK! You'll be lugging everything with you so avoid unnecessary and bulky items.
Good luck and have fun planning.
OK, so my friend from college and I are heading to the BW at the end of July/early August this summer. He has gone once but this is a first time for me. I am stocking up on reading materials about fishing, and camping in the area but I thought I would post here to get some other opinions. Since this is my first time, what are some things I should definately be aware of while planning my trip? Like, how long in advance can I reserve a spot on a lake? What are the bugs like in early August? I have faith that you will help me plan out this amazing adventure to the fullest! Thanks

Welcome to new JJMPF - JJMehta Photography Forum
I am a newbie in dealing with RAW images. Can any one please through some light on 1. Why to use RAW than JPEG? 2. how to edit RAW files in Photoshop CS5
RAW files store more information (about 30% more:
1. If you shoot in RAW, you don't rely on the camera's PP. That means, you depend on your own post-processing (PP) abilities. So, first point to answer, do you know PP better than what your camera knows?
@Pallav: It's always better to try before you buy (not in monetary term, but in acceptance term). Do it, if you shoot the number of images in a day, that fits into your card. Raw is not just about exposure (I exactly don't know what includes/excludes in exposure though). You can do lots of other things (I'm not talking about percentage here) in RAW without being lossless. Since I've bought DSLRs, I've hardly used JPEG (except in one occasion where I was jacked) for the kind of editing that's there in my workflow. I do general 'overall' editing in RAW mode, and when I export (open) it in PS (which is more-or-less in JPEG), I just do local editing. IMHO, for 'overall' editing, RAW is better than JPEG. It makes sense to shoot in RAW if you shoot in UNcontrolled (or, though less-preferred, even in controlled) situation when you can't afford to lose a moment and you are not forgiven for the errors you might make for not setting your camera right.Test and try. Rest is all yours!
Hi friends...I have got some raw files with me and they are lying as it is coz I'am not able to open them up in lightroom 3. i learned that you have to use some other software to convert raw files so that they can be seen in lightroom. I'm completely a layman in terms of raw. kindly make me understand in very simple terms (if possible with some screenshots) so that i can open raw files in lightroom 3.Thanks in advance..!! CHEERS...!!
Vikram bro, I have got latest version of lr (4.1) but when i import RAW file to lr i am not able to see preview, what can be the issue?
Could you please provide links to these places where you've learned that you need to use some other software to convert RAW files so that they can be seen in lightroom?

:( birthd. It was my birthday Sept.8 , the same day of the Green Bay Packer home opener. Intentially stopped at Stadium View to Celebrate with a group of people. I showed the bartender my drivers license to prove it was my birthday for free drinks. I was told it would not apply today, I should come back tomorrow. We left and went to Green Bay Distillery where I received free drinks and a beer glass with their logo on as a birthday gift. We had a great time there. We all decided that Green Bay Distillery is the place to Celebrate Birthdays!!

ULTRA-consistent Emotional Outburst chases back-to-back Cup wins when he runs in tomorrow's $40,000 Riverside Caravan Park Coonamble Cup (1600m).
The seven-year-old gelding son of Johannesburg won the 1400m Barraba Cup in brilliant fashion by eight lengths last time out and drops four kilograms for that win given Moonbi apprentice Melissa Brown's 2kg claim.
In his last eight starts since finishing second to Studio Star over 1200m at Quirindi in November, he has finished out of a place just once for Tamworth trainer Mark Mason – and that was a fourth to Ollie Vollie in the 1000m Moree Town Plate.
"He's now getting up to a distance he likes," Mason said.
"He has won over 2000m at Rosehill so he's getting to his best distance here (1600m)."
Emotional Outburst has won four of his 20 starts and been placed another eight times in his lightly-raced career.
Winning the Barraba Cup, Mason's home town Cup, was a delight for the trainer.
Winning the Coonamble Cup would be a first too.
"I've not had many starters out there," he said.
"I took Prince Humam out there once and old Mr Shinjuku might have run in it one year too.
"He was runner-up in a Coonabarabran Cup one year so he might have started in the Coonamble Cup."
Coonabarabran is where Emotional Outburst might be headed too.
"We'll see how he goes at Coonamble first but I suppose the Coonabarabran Cup would be ideal.
"Another mile and $40,000 and don't have to go to far. Just a couple of hours."
Emotional Outburst is in good nick too for tomorrow's Cup.
"Everything seems all right with him," Mason added.
"He's bright enough in himself and his work has been good."
Drawing barrier nine is also okay.
"I would have loved to have been closer but that's okay," Mason said.
The rest is up to Brown.
She rode him perfectly at Barraba but both horse and jockey are up in class tomorrow at a track where the long 400m run in allows all runners the chance to balance up and finish.
"It's a good run down the back too out of the 1600m chute. There's plenty of time to muck it up or get it right," Mason said.
While Emotional Outburst jumps from barrier nine, race favourite Clever Hans, also ultra-consistent, has drawn well in two for his Tamworth trainer Leon Davies.
The six-year-old gelding, winner of seven from 39, has finished out of a place once in his last six starts and that was a fourth at Eagle Farm.
He is also a BOBS Extra horse, which means he is gunning for an extra $10,000 to go with the $23,000-plus winner's cheque.
Davies is also chasing a third straight Coonamble Cup after winning the 2010 Cup with Prussian Secret and last year's edition with Altonio.

Chemicals Released into Atmosphere by Arctic Ice Melt May Cause More Birth Defects
Scientists claim that global warming may be releasing toxic chemicals in the air known to cause health problems and birth defects. They found that with the warming of the Arctic, polar ice caps were releasing chemicals that had been trapped in ice, including DDT, lindane, chlordane, PCBs and the fungicide hexachlorobenzine. These chemicals, known as persistent organic pollutants, are banned under the 2004 Stockholm Convention.
Scientists from Canada and Norway examined measurements of persistent organic pollutants between 1993 and 2009 at the Zeppelin research station in Svaalbard and the Alert station in northern Canada. Their research showed that the concentration of PCBs and HCBs have been rising since 2004. The question was how quickly the ice would continue to melt, and the toxic chemicals released into the atmosphere. For all of the chemicals except lindane, it is unknown how much is stored in the Arctic ice.
Global warming has provoked some controversy, but most scientists agree that it is a real phenomenon. Many attribute the causes to man-made pollutants, such as carbon dioxide from power plants and gasoline, methane gas from food animals at factory farms, deforestation, and chemical fertilizers. Some have argued that there is no human factor, or at least strong one, and the changes are due to natural weather patterns. Regardless, the global temperature has been steadily rising over the past decade, and the full consequences are unknown.
One clear outcome is that more will be exposed to harmful chemicals that are released from the Arctic and swept out to large populations. The result will be more health problems and more babies born with birth defects. However, if you believe that toxic chemicals from the Arctic ice caused your child's birth defect, your options for relief may be limited. If you sue a company or companies based on the idea that they created pollution that resulted in the Arctic waters warming and releasing toxic chemicals, you would have a problem with the issue of remoteness.
When you sue in tort for negligence or strict liability, you want to make sure that the injury you suffered is close enough to the defendant's bad behavior, or breach of duty. If too many factors come between the defendant's breach of duty and your injury, often your injury is considered too remote. If so, the defendant may be liable to some extent, but not the full extent of your injury. Because global warming is such a massive phenomenon, with a variety of factors, it may not necessarily be foreseeable that one company's pollution could be the cause of Arctic ice melting. If you want to sue a company for your child's birth defect, a more powerful argument lies in stating that the local company polluted the air and/or water, and showing studies that link air and water pollution to the very birth defects your child suffers from. These are the sorts of cases that plaintiffs are most likely to win.

I dunno if this has been mentioned before, but it looks like Overconfidence only gives the attack boost if the Overconfidence Pokemon itself kills with an attack. If the opponent dies from other damage sources (poison/burn, sandstorm, etc.), then the Overconfidence Pokemon does not get an attack boost.

If a Pokémon with no held item uses Knock Off against an opponent who is holding a Sticky Barb, is the Sticky Barb lost or is it transferred to the other Pokémon?

This is probably low priority but what happens when a Pokemon with Perversity uses Psych Up/Power Swap/Guard Swap/Heart Swap on a Pokemon with stat changes? Do they give the stat changes normally or do they swap boosts and drops? For example, if a Perversity Spinda uses Psych Up on a Salamence that has used Draco Meteor once, will the Spinda have -2 SpAtk like it normally would or will Perversity reverse it to give it +2 SpAtk?

I posted a question in the simple questions thread and it wasn't answered by anyone who actually knew or attempted so I will ask it here in hopes that someone can answer.
I have started breeding and my question is, if I have two Japanese parents, namely Pokemon "X" and a Ditto will giving the Ditto an Everstone still give the situation a 50% of the nature the Ditto has being passed on? I ask because if this is still the case I have hatched about 12 eggs and still haven't gotten a Jolly nature from a Jolly Ditto with an Everstone. A second question, it may be possible that I have the wrong item...Is there another item that looks very similar to the Everstone?

"Sleep Talk no longer fails after the first use if the user is holding a Choice item."
This makes me wonder, has Metronome recieved the same treatment?

Heal Bell
Good news about this move, it is no longer blocked by Soundproof. To test this I used a Miltank with Heal Bell, a burned Bronzong, a poisoned Smeargle and more importantly a poisoned Exploud (with Soundproof) against a wild Whismur. _Miltank used Heal Bell _A bell chimed. _Bronzong was cured of its burn! _Smeargle was cured of its poison! _Exploud was cured of its poison! (despite Soundproof) Like Aromatherapy, Heal Bell now lists every Pokemon that was healed, and what status condition was cured. |

Results: 100-117 damage (i didn't get 118 even after resetting the game 30 times but i suppose that is enough) As such i confirm that Iron Ball's basepower has remained 130. |

Is Rotom-S (fan rotom)'s ground immunity affected by Iron Ball/Knock Down (either one use or multiple uses)/Gravity? It apparently has both Flying-typing and Levitate, ordinarily a troll combo but there's rumors that it doesn't lose its immunity to Ground in Gravity. Anyone willing to test this? (Iron Ball/Knock Down is just for more thorough testing.)

Further testing about Heal Bell behaviour when healing a Pokémon with Soundproof concerning Double, Triple and Rotation Battles.
I used: _Miltank (with the move Heal Bell); _a poisoned Exploud (with the ability Soundproof); _Rayquaza (Triple, Rotation Battles / when Exploud was inactive in Double Battles); _Smeargle (when Exploud was inactive in Triple, Rotation Battles) Double Battle: _Miltank used Heal Bell A bell chimed Does Heal Bell have cured status (in this case poison) when: _ the Soundproof Pokémon (in this case Exploud) was on the field ? yes _ the Soundproof Pokémon wasn't on the field ? yes Triple Battle: _Miltank used Heal Bell A bell chimed Does Heal Bell have cured status when: _ the Soundproof Pokémon was on the field ? yes _ the Soundproof Pokémon wasn't on the field ? yes Rotation Battle: _Miltank used Heal Bell A bell chimed Does Heal Bell have cured status when: _ the Soundproof Pokémon was (inactive) on the field ? yes _ the Soundproof Pokémon wasn't on the field ? yes Now it is safe to assume that Heal Bell bypasses completely Soundproof. Quote:
When Gravity was used against Rotom-S, it was hit by Earthquake (super-effective). When Knock Down was used against Rotom-S, it was hit by Earthquake (super-effective). When Rotom-S was holding an Iron Ball, Earthquake hit it for regular damage (no "super-effective" sound, hit for half the damage Earthquake would have done normally, don't know why though). So Rotom-S ground immunity is still removed by Gravity, Knock Down and Iron Ball despite having both Flying-type and Levitate. Last edited by MeroMero; Oct 25th, 2010 at 12:56:56 PM. |

Why is it that fools fall in love?
How does trick room's negative priority interact with Mischievous Heart? I don't know if this is a legal combination, but I am still curious.
Perhaps we are all fools...

Miscievous Heart gives all non attacking moves one more priority than they actually have. So Trick Room would have -6 priority instead of -7 which is the same as Roar and Whirlwind.

For anyone who thinks Frozen World sharply lowers the foe's speed (aka -2 speed), you can throw that idea out of the window because Frozen World actually lowers the foe's speed 1 stage only! What a shame.
Used for testing: _a Kyurem with Frozen World (153 Speed); _against a Smeargle (249 Speed); Expected results for Smeargle's speed: _at -1 speed: 166 Speed (still faster than Kyurem); _at -2 speed: 124 Speed (thus being slower than Kyurem). _Smeargle used Covet (Kyurem took damage) _Kyurem used Frozen World (Smeargle took damage) Smeargle's Speed fell! (that wasn't looking good already, and the flavor text definitely wasn't harshly fell but simply fell...) Next Turn Smeargle still moved first (no priority move), so we can conclude that Frozen World lowers the foe's speed one stage only, and the fact that Frozen World is really Icy Wind with just 10 more BP... |

I believe Frozen World has a different effect number from Icy Wind, though.
Maybe it lowers speed AND has a chance to freeze? |

EDIT -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KOx9KpJ0mM 4:30-4:40, Frozen World is used. "VENUSAUR no subayasa ga sagatta!". I believe this is the -1 Speed message (iirc, there would be a "gunto" somewhere if it were -2), but Veekun says no other move has the same effect number of Frozen World. Same thing with Cold Bolt/Flare, as they should have the same effect numbers of Discharge/Lava Plume. Sooooo, CanadiEntei may be on the right track.

Since Frozen World's questionable effect has been brought up again, maybe this is worth a try?:
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1290 It certainly is an interesting theory worth checking at least. |

_the first 6 ones lowered Blissey's speed (definitely -1 speed per hit :/ sorry Mario With Lasers); _the others did nothing BUT damage (no secondary effect like freeze) |

Big, Fat Cognitive Illusion (and all of us are more Greek than we think)
Here's the table that was screaming of self-deception:
Look at the first column. Once the giggles have subsided, and you've shown it to your colleagues so that they can share in the derision, don't you wonder how it is that Greeks—and only the Greeks—believe they, and not the Germans, are the hardest working people in the Eurozone? Okay, you may be tempted to think it's somehow a mistake. Or you might consider for a sec whether tax evasion and statistical manipulation is somehow considered work by the Greeks surveyed. But, most likely, the answer is Greeks at this stage of the crisis are deep into a siege mentality. They increasingly see themselves as victims, with their suffering exacerbated by the demands of outsiders. They are simultaneously trying to buck themselves up by convincing themselves of their stoicism in the face of this onslaught and lashing out at those who they perceive are doing them harm. Perfectly in tune, the report finds that "Anti-German sentiment is largely contained to Greece, at least for the moment". We know the Greeks have long been lying to the EU. The table shows that they are now lying to themselves as well.
But, are they really lying? Check out the OECD's average annual hours actually worked per worker table. Germany: bottom of the list, at 1,419 hours per year. Greece: top of the list, at 2,109 hours per year. (The US is right in the middle, at 1,778 hours per year, right in line with the OECD average.)
I know a lot of Germans (I'm half-German myself), and they're always travelling, or taking days off, or visiting family, or somesuch. I was told once that it's been impossible to take a proper census in Germany for decades, since at any given time 10% of the country is abroad on holiday.
It's entirely possible — indeed, I'd say it's certain — that for the 1,419 hours that Germans work each year, they work harder, in total-factor-productivity terms, than their Greek counterparts do. But if a chap works really hard for 4 hours a day, would you say he works harder than another chap who works less hard for 14 hours a day? I have no idea how to make such determinations. And if you're measuring inputs rather than outputs, I think the Greeks have a decent claim to being right here.

Council members take second look at text ban
Some Pickerington council members may be rethinking their stance on the issue of a citywide ban on texting while driving.
During the March 17 safety committee meeting, individuals shared their personal stories of loss and pleaded for the city to enact such legislation.
Sharon Montgomery of Gahanna addressed the committee and some of the concerns previously raised.
The distracted driver that killed her husband and disabled another individual received only a $75 fine, she said.
"Some of you want to wait for the state to act, that would of course be preferable," she said.
However, she added, "the state legislature has had at least one bill on this issue every session since 1997. I don't hold much hope that they will act on the house bill (HB 415)," she said.
Montgomery also addressed the issue of education in driver's ed classes as suggested by Councilwoman Tricia Sanders.
"The problem with relying solely on education is, education tells us we shouldn't do this because we're likely to crash, but human nature tells us, it won't happen to me," Montgomery said. "So we're going to have to have a law that says you are not allowed to do this because you are likely to crash."
Education will increase compliance with the law, but it can't take the place of the law, she said.
Regarding Councilwoman Cristie Hammond's previous concern over enforcing the law, Montgomery responded "enforcement challenges are problems to solve, not reasons for inaction."
Montgomery also suggested that if the city pursues the ban and wants to include a grace period, it should be included in the ordinance.
She expressed concern over Bexley's law because drivers have gotten word that warnings are being handed out instead of citations. A specified grace period for driver's to adjust would be more effective, she suggested.
Montgomery also addressed the lack of statistics on crashes caused by mobile communication devices and said until a law is enacted, such incidents will continue to be mislabeled, therefore providing inaccurate statistics.
Tom Whiteman, of Reynoldsburg, lost his 28-year-old daughter Leslie in August 2008 in an accident caused by a distracted driver.
"Texting is so far off the scale on distracted driving, we need to do something about it," Whiteman said.
State Rep. Gerard Stebelton discussed what bills are pending in the statehouse, including House Bill 415.
Stebelton suggested that those who have a genuine interest in the legislation put pressure on their representatives.
He said personal letters and e-mails from the heart are what will get the attention of legislators.
After all witnesses spoke, Councilman Jeff Fix stated he failed to see what the downside is of putting a law like this on the books.
"If there is one (good reason), I'd love to hear it," Fix said.
Councilman Brian Sauer said he is finding himself falling on a different side of the issue.
"I definitely would support this at this point," Sanders said. "I think we should be proactive instead of reactive."
Whiteman argued that political subdivisions enacting laws will send a message to the state that not having a statewide ban is unacceptable.
No action was taken by the committee. Further discussion will be held during the next safety committee meeting on April 21 at 7 p.m. in Pickerington City Hall.
Other news
* The Service Committee approved a motion for rezoning a portion of Willow Pond subdivision from (C-3) commercial to (R-4) residential and the Ebright/Homestead parcels, located on Refugee Rd. from (R-4) residential to (PC-3) commercial.
* Councilman Brian Wisniewski requested a baseline speed study be done on Diley Road to see what speed traffic currently flows with the speed limit at its current posting. It was approved by the Service Committee.
* Discussion was held about conducting a future speed study on State Route 256. City Engineer Greg Bachman said he believes decreasing the speed limit is something to be considered.
* Bachman also said he plans to meet with several Pickerington Schools about unifying standards on the operation of lights and the appearance of signs in school zones.
* Marie Avenue resident Alan Cosmik addressed the Service Committee about the potential of extending Marie Avenue in the Manchester Station subdivision and updating the road. Cosmik asked the city to leave the street alone and gate it rather than investing the money to widen and pave it. |

Self-Insurance Industry Executive Nigel Wallbank Joins eMindful Management Team
Past President of SIIA joins evidence-based mind-body wellness company
VERO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 6, 2011 — Following the addition of two managed health care leaders to its board, eMindful has added another prominent industry executive to its team with Nigel Wallbank joining to run the company's sales organization.
Wallbank is the present Chairman of the Board of the Self Insured Education Foundation and past President and Chairman of the Board of the Self-Insurance Institute of America (SIIA). He has served for the past two years as Executive Vice President of Cevian Intermediaries, LLC, a privately owned reinsurer.
In 1986, Wallbank co-founded Strategic Health Development Corp., a risk management and health care management company providing medical malpractice, workers compensation, and property & casualty insurance services, as well as a nationwide organ transplant network. He sold the business in 2008 to Prodigy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase at the time.
He also serves as an officer on the board of directors of Global Medical Conexions, which provides international-standard medical care at facilities outside of the U.S. at considerable cost savings.
"Nigel brings further depth and expertise to our growing team," said eMindful chief executive officer Kelley McCabe Ruff. "Nigel's joining eMindful is further validation of our demonstrated approach to health cost containment, and the value of a healthier, more productive work force that our unique mind-body wellness programs bring to employers."
eMindful recently announced the addition of Jorge Rico, managing director at MBF Healthcare Partners, and Hyman R. Kahn, M.D., a former executive with U.S. Healthcare, to its board of directors.

Diving with the Great White Sharks in South Africa is one of the best adventure travel options Africa has to offer. It's a bit like experiencing a shark attack without the scars. Certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Great White Shark, since there isn't a single one in captivity.
These images of a Great White are only possible to witness from the safety of a specially designed diving cage. Since Great Whites love to eat, diving operators are able to 'chum and bait' the sharks so you are almost guaranteed to see them. This way you can also stay on a boat and watch if being in a diving cage is a little too exciting for you. There are several tour operators in South Africa offering this incredible experience.
Thanks to Africa Shark Dive Safaris for the use of these images.

Brick Officials Plot Storm Response Plan
More meetings to be held over the weekend
Brick Township officials began preparations for the potential impact of Hurricane Sandy on Friday, and will continue holding meetings over the weekend.
Business Administrator Scott Pezarras said crews would build a protective berm at township beaches, send robocalls to residents updating them on the storm situation and set up a call center for residents who have questions or concerns.
Additionally, said Pezarras, dump trucks filled with sand will be staged in flood-prone areas and equipment and manpower will be staged at four locations across town in firehouses and EMT buildings.
Finally, a centralized command point will be set up to handle storm response operations.
Township officials will meet again on Sunday to go over the latest information from state and county agencies.
Though forecast models cannot decide where, exactly, Sandy will make landfall, they agree on a sharp turn to the west sometime on Monday.

Business Networking- the Importance of Appearance and Communication Skills
Whether we like it or not, part of being a successful business owner depends on the way we look, and the way we communicate with others, especially when it comes to business networking. You could be the most professional, devoted business owner in the world, but if you wear wrinkled clothes, or clothes in need of repair, your peers will automatically assume that you arent serious about building your business, and that you are a slob. And yes, the opinions of your peers do matter, as they can help you grow your business if you win them over as business contacts. People usually go with their first impression in forming an opinion of you, and if you arent dressed professionally, or if you dont speak to them in a professional, courteous manner, then chances are high that their opinion of you will be influenced, and not in a good way. So, as a business owner, you need to learn how to dress to impress and communicate well with others, so that you can grow your business network, and increase your own success.
To portray a professional demeanor, and make a good impression, you should first think about the way you dress. You dont have to go to work in your Sunday best, but you do need to wear clothes that mesh well with the type of business that you are running, and they need to be clean, wrinkle-free, and in good repair. You dont want to run around with your shirt un-tucked and holes in your pants legs, that is for certain. Your goal is to appear professional, not rumpled and disheveled. If you look like you just threw an outfit together at the last minute from the bottom of your closet, people wont take you seriously as a business owner, and will be reluctant to deal with you, or refer anyone else to your business.
Once you have critiqued the way you dress, you should move on to your communication skills. You need to be able to speak clearly and distinctly, and make certain that you talk in proper grammar, so that people will be able to understand what you are saying when you talk to them. You want to take the time, if you can, to think about what you are saying, and what the other persons reaction might be, before you actually let the words come out of your mouth. You dont want to approach a potential business contact, and immediately jumble your words, stick your foot in your mouth, and appear totally incompetent, not if you plan to add them to your business network.
Think about how you react to new people. How long does it take you to form an opinion of someone you meet for the first time? If they arent dressed well, or dont communicate well, does that play into your opinion of them? The average person forms an opinion in their mind of a new contact usually within the first few minutes of meeting them, some take a little longer. Either way, you dont get a long time to overcome a bad first impression, so you should make sure that you are always prepared, so that you dont have to.
