Residents Express Frustrations on Being Without Power for Days
Scotch Plains and Fanwood residents suffered days without power, some still without. Many Scotch Plains residents are frustrated with the lack of information they are receiving from the township and the inaccurate timelines from PSE&G.
Updated: The substation in Sewaren has been fixed.
Update: According to PSE&G, at around 3 p.m. a subsation issue in Sewaren causes about 40,000 customers to be without power again in Edison, Scotch Plains, Rahway and surrounding areas.
Some Scotch Plains residents are still in the dark as it hits the two week mark since Sandy made her way through the tri-state area. The rest of Scotch Plains and Fanwood residents suffered at least 10 days without power in their homes.
As of Monday at 3 p.m. PSE&G reports 278 outages, 19 of those outages are due to Sandy and the remaining 259 were caused by the nor'easter.
If you are still without power, please let us know in the comments section.
While Fanwoodians suffered long days without power, they were also provided with more frequent and detailed updates than Scotch Plains residents. At least, that's how most Scotch Plains residents felt during Sandy's aftermath.
Scotch Plains residents voiced on Twitter, Facebook and the comments section of Patch that they were thankful of PSE&G's efforts and that they were lucky not to be worse off. But most expressed an immense amount of frustration about the lack of information from the township or misinformation from PSE&G.
The Township of Scotch Plains did provide information for residents, but the information from Fanwood was more specific as to what issues PSE&G was facing.
In an article on NJ.com, the following information was included on Scotch Plains Mayor, Mary DePaola, under the label "Falling Short."
Mary DePaola, Scotch Plains mayor, said she is very unhappy with how her borough performed.
"How do you contact 23,000 residents when there is no power, no TV, no telephone, no e-mail and let them know what's going on?" she asked.
It's a question Scotch Plains failed to answer before Sandy. The borough, DePaola said, didn't have in place reverse-911 calls or a way to get those calls to residents' cell phones. That will be fixed, she said.
Last week she fired Paul Malool, the town's emergency management coordinator, because, she said, of poor performance during and after the storm.
She said a report is being written on how to do better next time. One idea is to have block captains who would be responsible for their street or neighborhood and would deliver fliers to their area.
Additionally, the information PSE&G provided for Scotch Plains continually changed and the restoration dates residents were provided with were never accurate for most.
Governor Chris Christie announced that 99 percent of power would be restored in New Jersey by Saturday night, but much of Scotch Plains must have been in the final one percent because residents did not see restoration until Sunday or early Monday.
Other residents, such as The Wolfe's, who live on Round Hill Road are still without power.
The Wofle's said their home lost power on Monday at 5 p.m. along with most of the neighborhood.
Once trees had been removed allowing them to travel from their home, they placed an order with PSE&G on Nov. 1. After not hearing back from the company, they placed another order on Nov. 10.
"Power to the south of us down Rahway had been restored by this time," Skylar Wolfe said. "But Round Hill and the roads to the north were still dark."
When Skylar called again on Sunday the automated system said power would be restored by Tuesday, past the promise date of restoration for the state.
Each time the couple called PSE&G throughout Sunday they were given different answers. Some representatives told them it would be Tuesday, while others told them to hold for a supervisor. On three seperate calls, they were never given to a supervisor, but rather disconnected.
One representative told them that power had been restored to their area. The representative noted that only one home in Scotch Plains was without power and all other work orders had been cancelled.
"I put in new work orders with increasing frustration, but they were all met with a Tuesday or later deadline. The online system stopped giving us ETA for repair, if we submitted a new order it would just auto affix 12 hours later as our time of restoration," Skylar stated.
All of the calls the Wolfe's made might have done something because at around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday a PSE&G car was driving around their neighborhood. The woman inside said she was surveying homes that were without power. Once she realized the area was without power she called PSE&G trucks to the Wolfe's area of Scotch Plains.
Skylar stated within an hour their power was restored, however around 9:30 this morning their street once again lost power.
Several residents Patch spoke with said they knew exactly what date and time they would receive for restoration when calling PSE&G because it was always 12 or 48 hours from when they placed the call. Yet when those hours passed and they called again they received a new time that was another 12 or 48 hours later.
While schools, hospitals and nursing homes were among the locations meant to be a top priority for PSE&G, two of the elementary schools in Scotch Plains, School One and Coles were without power the entire week of Sandy and did not reopen until Nov. 12.
Ashbrook Nursing Home was running on generators until Sunday at around 5 p.m.
Residents on parts of Raritan Road were also without power until Sunday evening.
Residents of the Bayberry Apartment Complex took to the streets to protest their power outages last week and within hours PSE&G had restored power to the complex.
Pamela Shlissel of Highlander Drive received power back to her home on Nov. 8 but reached out to Patch to express that large areas on the south side of Scotch Plains such as Berwyck Chase and Clarks Lane still were without power on Sunday morning.
A Berwyck Chase resident believed they would be the last to receive power back, but the area had it restored on Sunday evening.
In an email to Patch, a Bryant Avenue resident noted how the utility company just kept pushing the date back.
"The residents on our street are concerned that at our block has been overlooked and quite frankly we've had enough of living in a cold, dark house," he stated. "We're disappointed by the lack of action on our local government to hold PSE&G accountable to this timetable and lack of overall communication to the many residents that are still suffering. It's a terrible thing and we feel helpless"
The PSE&G website currently removed all the plans for restoration. At the top of the page is a message, "Sandy was devastating, thanks to everyone who helped us rise to the challenge."
The township of Scotch Plains sent out a message on Monday afternoon that they are no longer in the emergency management stage and will be moving to clean up and removal efforts, read more about those efforts here.

Hey Ryan,
I'm not sure if you lost power again due to the substation or were without it still from the storm, is it back now?
7:32 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Yet again, another awfully written article.
Jake says this article was written by a 7th grade student learning journalism.
Monica says no complete thoughts are made.
See how this is written, unbelievable that they are employed to do this.
Nicole Bitette

Hi Jon,
Sorry you feel that way. I will read the article again and make a few edits.

Who are Jake and Monica and why do you bother posting their insults? Are they your ugly children?
"See how this is written, unbelievable that they are employed to do this." Who is this "they" you're referring to? If you're just going to post insults for no reason, at least try to write like you know how to construct a proper sentence. Otherwise you come off sounding like an idiot. Are you just bitter because your kids are ugly?

8:16 am on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Yeah, we'll go with that, "Jon." Not with the fact that you're a hypocritical, privileged jerk who brings down the level of discussion on Patch by attacking the only person who consistantly fed us information during the worst storm in our town's history for reasons you're unable to articulate clearly. Actually, now I'm leaning towards both, since that shoe seems to fit you as well. But don't worry, sport, if that's what the crumbling infrastructure of your manhood needs to do to get its kicks, by all means keep up the ad hominem attacks. Just keep telling yourself you don't come off sounding like a bitter and awkward old man frustrated because he couldn't get his ED pills when Sandy closed the pharmacies. Convince yourself that regular Patch readers don't see you as a cowardly troll who makes this town just a little bit worse for everyone through your arrogance and ignorance. It must be awfully tough to be such a smart guy and have no one like you!
6:35 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Ok, kettle, relax. Stop wasting your time because you probably think I am someone else.
I responded more nicely before, but my comments got deleted so this one was a bit more mean. Yes, the Patch gave more information than anywhere else. However, they are a company looking to make a profit. I just think this article is written poorly and you can see others on here if you don't believe it. One sentence paragraphs, changing topics with no transitions, etc. All those things just make it impossible to read.
Nicole Bitette

Hi Gina,
As I told Jon, I'm sorry you feel that way. I will read the article again and make a few edits.

If you want your insult to make sense, there should be a comma between "agree" and "Jon." Otherwise it sounds like you're "agreeing Jon," which makes no sense but sounds kind of dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter, lady! You're not too far from Brunner, so you might want to consider dropping in one day to brush up on your punctuation.
Ryan P.
1:01 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
@Jon and Gina: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Do you feel superior now as you marinate in your smugness?
To what end were you aiming for in attempting to demean, belittle, and degrade Nicole?
Was it to deflect attention from your own glaring flaws or is the venomous vindictiveness that spewths forth from you like verbal vomit a consequence of a dark heart and withered soul?
The answer is axiomatic.
7:05 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
I'm glad you or kettle have not argued against my point since it is clearly true.
The persons job is to write articles about the happenings around here. It is done poorly, I pointed that out.
A brief look at your posting history shows you have done the same thing directed at someone else.
kettle black
9:44 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
I could care less what you think is "clearly true." What Ryan and I object to is your incivility, which is a nice way of saying the insulting tone your posts detracts far more from Patch than a few grammatical errors. The best posters here like Holden and bgporter can all make their points civilly. Grow up and learn from them or expect to keep getting called out.

Brilliant idea for block captains to hand out fliers during a power outage---- I hope all the block captains are professional calligraphers and scribes, because I doubt any printers will be functional without electrical power. Why can't the police department patrol all the neighborhoods using the loud speaker or bullhorn to let people know where they can go to re-charge electronics, get warm (or cool, as the case may be) and get a cup of coffee? In a disaster such as Sandy was, it should be "all hands on deck" to "serve and protect" . During the aftermath of the storm , I did not see one police cruiser in my neighborhood. We have become too dependent on technology, which, as we learned, is almost useless in an outage of these proportions.Another low-tech solution might be to call-in to a specified radio station to keep citizens abreast. Governor Christie managed to get information out to people listening to local radio on battery operated sets. Let's have some low tech solutions from some creative thinkers.
11:12 am on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Block Captains??? The first thing I thought of when I read this was, 'What if the block captain leaves due to the power being out for almost two weeks???? Who is in charge then...the deputy block captain?' I agree...no police presence, no information, and no mayor. Let's hope this is handled in a more professional and organized manner should we Gd forbid have to deal with this type of situation again!

While I understand the necessity of tending to schools and hospitals, first, don't forget that many people are home caregivers for the elderly and young children---is there a registry in town for people who have special medical needs at home, like oxygen and dialysis? I would like to see trained volunteers (maybe off duty rescue squad members) checking on those people to be sure they have the care they need---even if it is only a flashlight, a blanket or a reassuring voice.
Nicole Bitette
10:07 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Hi LynnSusan,
There is a list you can sign up for through PSE&G for those who have special medical needs such as oxygen and dialysis, as you mentioned. You should be able to sign up for that through your account on their website.
LynnSusan Walters
8:53 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
And perhaps the SP OEM (such as it is now) can co-ordinate a volunteer generator loaner system, whereby those who have regained power, if they choose to participate, can loan their generators to those whose power has still not been restored, for the duration of the outage.
I think what we have learned from this storm, is that we cannot rely on "government" to offer aid, information and instruction, but rather most neighbors are willing to offer a helping hand to their neighbors.
LynnSusan Walters
10:51 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Thanks, Nicole---it is no longer an issue for me, personally, but thank you for that information.
11:16 am on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Rumor has it (...and I do say 'rumor') was that Scotch Plains had no plan in place for this type of disaster. Hopefully the new regime will get on that....hopefully.
1:29 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Where are all these neighborhoods that never saw any police cars? I always saw them around the south side of town.
2:36 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Townieville...is it safe to assume you never saw them on all of the many cul de sacs that offshoot Cooper Rd bet Terrill and Rahway? That's my area and they were not here...at least not in the daylight hours.

I love the unique colour of this watch! If you like big watches you will love this! It may be a tad heavy for petite girls with small wrists. It feels kind of heavy initially but you'll get used to it. I had 2 links removed as it was quite loose. Shipping is fast which is great too!

This watch is awesome! If you're like bigger face watches then this is the watch to get. I like the shade of rosegold too and it's getting a lot of attraction whenever I wear it out. I kinda ditched my Tag Heuer for the time being because I keep wanting to wear this watch instead!

January 10, 2013 — In the 40 years since the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Roe v. Wade, "women seeking abortions have been put through a lot of unnecessary trauma" by laws that force them to travel far distances to obtain the procedure and comply with requirements like mandatory ultrasounds and waiting periods, New York Times columnist Gail Collins writes.
Women are "caught in the middle of a political fight over a deeply personal issue that leaves most Americans feeling uneasy," she writes. While a recent Time article focused on the failures of the abortion-rights movement, and some polls suggest that support is declining, Collins notes that polling on the issue largely depends on how the questions are worded.
"Americans are permanently uncomfortable with the abortion issue, and they respond most positively to questions that suggest it isn't up to them to decide anything," she writes. A recent survey by Planned Parenthood found that 83% of likely voters said they believe women should make their own decisions about pregnancies, including 64% of "pro-life" respondents. Many young people who support women's rights also tend to dislike labels such as "pro-choice" or the term "feminism," Collins adds.
"One way or another, the abortion rights cause needs all the help it can get," she writes, citing "crazy new rules" in Mississippi, Virginia and elsewhere "that make it impossible for [abortion clinics] to operate."
However, Collins also notes that voters in Mississippi and South Dakota have rejected state ballot measures that attempted to outlaw abortion. "No matter how conservative the state, sooner or later you will hit the point where the people object to politicians messing with a woman's private business," Collins writes, concluding, "Every time the anti-abortion movement pushes too far, it reminds people that its cause, no matter how filled with moral fervor, is basically about imposing one particular theology on the rest of the country" (Collins, New York Times, 1/9).
Repro Health Watch — an exciting new edition of the Women's Health Policy Report — compiles and distributes media coverage of proposed and enacted state laws and ballot initiatives affecting women's access to comprehensive reproductive health care, as well as litigation in response to those provisions.

TELL US: Where are the Best Sledding Spots in Newton?
School vacation is almost over, so spend some time sledding! Tell us your favorite spots in the comments section below.
After a rather dry winter last year, the snow is finally back in New England.
A fast-moving, weekend snowstorm left Newton with at least a half a foot of snow Saturday night -- and perfect sledding conditions.
With just two days left to school vacation week, some kids are chomping a the bit to get their sledding in before they head back to class on Wednesday, Jan. 2. One of our Facebook followers posted a question on our wall over the weekend asking where the best sledding spots are in Newton.
So, we took to our Facebook page to ask folks where their favorite spots are. Here's what we've heard so far:
- Bobby Braceland Park in Upper Falls (two comments)
- Cedar Hill in Waltham
- Backside of Fessenden Road off of Albemarle Road
As displayed in the photo above (courtesy Historic Newton), Newton Centre Playground is, historically, also a popular spot to sled.
Where do you go to sled in the Newton area? Tell us in the comments section below.

Moving Beyond Pentecost
December 20, 2012
For some time, I have struggled with the narrow pneumatological focus within Classical Pentecostalism. It's as though we have defined the work of the Spirit almost exclusively in reference to Spirit baptism (with tongues as the initial evidence). While we may also include spiritual gifts in an attempt to round out the package, our current […]
Alan Hirsch on Church as Communitas not Community

In this short clip, Alan Hirsch discusses the difference between the church as communitas, not community. A communitas is a church steeped and driven by mission, not ministry. As a result, it isn't afraid to take risks as it moves towards the future with an honest sense of adventure and creativity; qualities that often don't […]
Jesus, Discipleship and Consumerism with Alan Hirsch
December 6, 2012
I originally thought about making specific comments on this video, but decided against it. Why? Alan says it all. I absolutely love this short clip. Watch, share and chat about it with family, friends and your church. Insightful, helpful, honest and inspiring.
The Difference in Calling Jesus 'Savior' and 'Lord' and its Implications for Discipleship
December 5, 2012
I've been thinking about this theme again lately. When we replace the statement 'Jesus is Lord' (which happens to be one of the earliest Christian creeds) with the statement 'Jesus is Savior', it fundamentally changes the way we read, understand and live out the gospel. Echoing ideas from an earlier blog on the gospel of […]

The Piecemeal Method of Bible Reading and the Need for a Change in Diet
November 21, 2012
Setting the Stage for the Piecemeal Method of Bible Reading I have never been a fan of the kind of Christian spirituality that treats its primary story source, the bible, as a kind of piecemeal diet. A nibble here, a nibble there. A verse here, a verse there. Add in a little commentary from someone […]

Township Provides Update on Current Road Conditions
Utility work and downed wires contribute to road closures
The snow from the recent storm is starting to melt as the temperature rises but residents are still seeing road closed signs throughout the township.
In its latest update the administration said work is continuing to not only restore power to all residents but also open all the roadways in the town.
Route 9 is returning to normal operation with only the lights at Georgia Tavern Road and East 5th Street still inoperable.
Route 547 is also closed from Oak Glen Road to Victory Road. According to the township "JCP&L is on the scene and has shut power to the live wires on the roadway." The township said the company is estimating two hours for the repairs to be completed.
A large tree that has fallen on power lines near Howell High School has closed Southard Ave. from Route 524A to Manassa Road and Tinton Falls Road has been closed from Route 34 to Asbury Ave. because of downed power lines.
A second section of Route 547 is also partially closed just south of Old Tavern Road because of what the township is a "drainage problem. The road is controlled by the county and the township said the road department has been notified.
The administration said drivers should be careful on Victory Road as there is "a utility service from a residence hanging low over the roadway." While the road is "passable," the administration added, "the hazard has been coned out."
JCP&L's website currently lists 4,121 outages in the township and the administration said "they will not provide any specifics," about the outages or when they will be fixed.

This is a page from a portfolio of information about the Portrait Virus event. The portfolio also includes the following text description of the project:
"The inaugural PORTRAIT VIRUS event took place at CYBERARTS, Pasadena Convention Center, Oct. 29 - Nov. 1, 1992. The event was organised to create digital portraits via a computer network.
The Amiga computer system, operated by Michael Wright, was established as the first link of the network and was used to scan in black and white portraits of participants in real time.
Next file formats containing portrait data were converted to Macintosh file formats and transferred to a second link, a Mac workstation. Artist, Liz Crimzon, painted backgrounds for the portraits.
A second Macintosh, linked to the first Mac by an internal network, was operated by Paras Kaul who sent the computer enhanced portraits by modem from a phone line at the Convention Center to Paras Productions in Washington, D. C.
At this location computer graphic campaign buttons for the democratic party were added. Portraits were then sent back to the Amiga workstation which was connected to a 16 monitor video wall at the Convention Center where they were viewed by CYBERARTS participants."

So what is the difference from our standard card sleeves and our PREMIUM SLEEVES? The standard sleeves are a great thickness and quality for protecting your games on a budget. They are sold in packs of 100 and are perfect if you want to protect your work-a-day games from sticky hands, spills and general wear and tear. Our PREMIUM SLEEVES are sold in a 50 pack and are 125% thicker than our standard thickness sleeves. These sleeves offer a sturdier case and stronger protection for your cards. If you have a rare or expensive game and just can't bear to have the cards looking anything but pristine then this is the card sleeve for you!
This sleeve set is a 50 pack set of card sleeves that are designed to protect any card with dimensions of 43 MM X 65 MM or smaller.

There are two different worlds in Endless-Online. You have, the in-game community that consists of idiots, morons, people, more people, and more idiots. Then, you have the Endless-Online forum community; which is TOTALLY the opposite of the in-game community.(Not really, but you get the picture.)
The game is created by Vult-r using the C+ engine and is currently sponsored by Layered Tech. The game has several admins but the majority of them are not helpful and can really give players a hard time.(Except for Arvid. He's the best.) Many of the admin's handle in-game issues in an unjust manner so don't be surprised when you get jailed or banned without a warning. The admins will not bother launching an investigation. The most effective way of getting out of the jail system, is by talking to an admin over an instant chat messenger and persuading them to let you free. The endless-online forum community is full of forum trolls. It is definitely not for the weak hearted. You can expect insults and vulgar language to be in every topic you read. I really don't have much more to say about this game; other than I dislike it a lot. I still check on the forums every now and then because I get a laugh from it. But don't take my word for it, check the game out for yourself. -Terrysan |

Endless Online is full of noobs, idiots, fucktards, scammers, teh 1337 sp34k3rz, and lazy admins. The forums are the only haven for the leet players. But even now, they are slower being devoured by the stupidity that has consumed the game we seasoned players used to love. Endless Online in the past:
Person #1: help a scammer has scammed me of my precious sword. Person #2: That's too bad. From now on, be careful of who you trade with. If they have a bad reputation of scamming, don't trade with them. Person #1: ty Endless Online now: Noob #1: OMFGZ MY DRGON SWROD HAZ BEEN TEH STOELD!!

If every game was a city, World of Warcraft would be Los Angelos. Mabinogi would be Tokyo. Runescape would be New York. And Endless Online would be Detroit.
Get the picture? If you plan on playing EO, use it as a giant chatroom, and nothing more. It just isn't worth your time other than that. And I disagree with the other definitions when they say the forum community is better. I strongly disagree. I would rather drive a fork through my hand than talk to people from the Endless Online forum community.

Ever seen a game where cheater, hackers, spammers are rewarded? Decent players who work hard for their levels get hacked/key logged? A game where every second guy is either a beggar or raciest? And admins which reward hackers and released the jailed player in hours?
Welcome to endless online. The password recovery won't ever work and if you lost your account, then forget about it. Don't even bother to make a post in support section, you'll probably get flamed. Save time and delete your character now rather then crying and making random posts at forums later. The yeah i only positive thing about this game was forums. These guys rocks so much, they can even prove you have serious mental problems even your GD says your normal. ~Smashlol, Quited EO on 12th feb 2008. Endless online player: I r l33t h4x0r.
Vult-R: *Gives devil* |

I have very mixed feeling for it. June-August 2005 it was basically all i did. In the 70-85 days that I played the game, I racked up about 420 hours of gameplay and became #31 out of hundreds of thousands of players. I loved it. I love to excel at something, and be better than everyone else. However, then came school. After the first day of the '05-'06 school year, I never played the game again. The following days and weeks, I was extremely depressed. I didn't have time to play the game much, but the worst part was that the homework and everything on my mind just would not have allowed me to perform as well as I had been performing.
If you want to play a fun, simple(for now) MMORPG just for fun and not actually to be a great at, this is a wonderful game. However, I WARN YOU, lest you have no plans of ever doing anything again in your life that will require time or work(i.e., school, an occupation, etc.), please, for your own sake, DO NOT play this game and try to be an elite player. p.s. my name on Endless Online was riverscuomo; if u knew me, hi. Endless Online is a fun way to destroy your life.

She danced the second variation in the Grand Pas Espagnole to Obraztsova's Bolshoi debut as Kitri in the "Don Q" reconstruction last Sunday, October 16:
Smirnova makes her debut as Myrtha in "Giselle" on Nov. 6. This will be her first major assignment:
After this, she's cast as a maid of honor in the premiere of the new production of "Sleeping Beauty," (Grigorovich's version, with new scenery and costumes) on November 18. This will be Zakharova and David Hallberg's performance:
Then Smirnova will upgrade to her debut as Lilac Fairy for Ekaterina Krysanova & Semyon Chudin's performance, November 24:

Vrsfanatic, that's why I think that this variation -- albeit classical -- does a better job in showing her character-dance qualities. She has grown and seems to fit more of the character mold...Marie Petipa roles.

I find it strange that Shapran went to dance corps in this company... but there you are!
Posted 30 December 2011 - 03:08 AM
valentina11, on 28 December 2011 - 02:32 PM, said:
According to the Stanislavsky Ballet twitter person Shapran is actually a soloist with the theatre. (in a reply to bellafigura's twitter, the stanislavsky twitter said that although she is listed in the corps she is actually a soloist "Some of the dancers listed as Artists on the website are actually soloists.")
Since Zelensky is now the director of both the Stanislavsky and Novosibrisk theatres, Shapran danced Sugar Plum in the Novosibrisk Nucracker on 23 dec.
She is also scheduled to participate in a moscow/petersburg gala alongside dancers like obtrasova, matvienkos, krysanova, osipova/vasiliev.
She is also supposedly rehearsing Lacotte's Sylphide.
Smirnova recently danced the Thais pdd with Chudin at the Bolshoi gala to honour Roland Petit.
Both young woman seem to be eagerly pushed by their respective theatres (perhaps thats why they chose to leave St Petersburg). Hopefully in the not too distant future both Shapran and Smirnova with their very different styles/talent well be able to make their mark.

I'm interested if Shapran ever danced LHH because in a Dancing Times review of the graduation performances Igor Stupinikov cited her as "splendid" in this piece. To the best of my knowledge she did not perform this role but I am wondering if she danced it at a rehearsal, or at another performance? Thanks

Sometimes also referred to as the Power Sword and the Sword of Grayskull. It is said that this is the most powerful sword in the universe, as it allows Adam to channel the very power that created the universe within castle grayskull to become He-Man. The sword can deflect any rays or blasts of magical or technological origin. It is for lack of a better word indestructible. The formation of the Sword Of Power, and it's sister sword, the Sword Of Protection was after the death of He-Ro. The Staff Of Wisdom was melted down to form the two swords. The broken shards of the Sword Of He was also used to create the sword. The Sword Of Power was used by King Grayskull in his battle against Hordak to stop him from completing the Spell Of Separation. When Grayskull died, he infused his power into this sword. Later, a few other would use the Sword Of Power, like Wun-Dar and possibly Oo-Larr, before it fell into the hands of Prince Adam.
It orginally started out as a mystical object in the early stories, in which Skeletor tries to obtain both halves and put them together in order to gain power, while He-Man's role is to stop him by using more regular weapons such as an axe and a shield. With the arrival of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series, the Power Sword became the means by which Prince Adam transforms into He-Man. There is no evidence of the Power Sword being sliced in this version of the story. The weapon kept the same basic shape during most of the 1980s, but then it was radically redesigned twice: for The New Adventures of He-Man as well as the 2002 remake of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Frac King Multi-Chem blends oil & gas production chemicals such as viscosity reducers, wetting agents and "biocides" - toxins whose sole purpose is to kill living organisms.
Multi-Chem describes itself as "the global leader in EGR" - where EGR stands for Enhanced Gas Recovery technologies such as hydraulic fracture stimulation, also called hydraulic fracturing, known and loathed by many of us as "fracking", but referred to by dirty energy insiders as simply "frac". Prior to its acquisition by Halliburton last October, being a frac specialist - with an extensive network of storage facilities and a fleet of frac trucks filled with ecosystem-destroying amalgams of toxic frac fluids and poisonous frac additives - made Multi-Chem one of the largest oil & gas production chemical companies in the world. Their "success" had little to do with any questionable claims they "Think Safety".
>> Blast <<
On 14 June 2011 the Multi-Chem blending plant in New Iberia LA was rocked by a series of explosions that filled the skies with huge fireballs, thick black smoke and deadly toxins.
"Louisiana state police and Iberia Parish emergency management officials said the first blast was reported about 4 p.m., followed by several more explosions. The plant is near the Acadiana Regional Airport, which was shut down as a precaution... 'It was a big explosion, I mean a big one,' said Odis Lounsberry, who was in his front yard near the plant. He said several smaller blasts followed... Lounsberry, who said he is an inventor by trade, said he got a bad taste in his mouth after feeling drops of a liquid hit him... 'It was like a bitter taste, just a foul taste,' he said... Mary Celeste Clement, a children's book author, lives about 2 miles away and said she evacuated to Lafayette after she saw smoke pouring from the plant... 'I packed my bags and left,' she said. 'I didn't want to take the chance.'"
>> Pollute <<
The "accident" at the Multi-Chem blending plant in New Iberia released xylene, methanol and toluene into the environment requiring evacuation of everyone within a 1-mile radius.
"The chemical fire burned nearly 24 hours before it was deemed safe for hazardous-material firefighters to extinguish it... The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality has maintained its monitoring presence on the site, and containment ditches used to capture run-off from the incident have been cleared and verified free of contaminants, stated Rodney Mallett, a DEQ spokesman in an email response... The response now moves from an 'emergency response phase' into a 'remediation phase,' Mallett stated. Multi-Chem stated that it will work with the DEQ to develop a 'comprehensive plan to analyze the effects [on] the subsurface.' About 20 people work at the site, which includes a chemical storage facility, blending plant and office building."
>> Repeat <<
Now part of Halliburton, Multi-Chem is breaking ground on a new facility south of I-10 between Maurice and Indian Bayou to replace the New Iberia plant they blew up.
"The chemical company Multi-Chem, recently bought by Halliburton, is building a new facility in Vermilion Parish. This new location off highway 92 will have an office, field laboratory and blending facility on 64 acres of land [http://goo.gl/maps/oRDe]. Multi-Chem said it will eventually replace the New Iberia facility [that was destroyed in an "accident" last year]... Construction is still in the very early stages, but there might not be much that residents can do because there are no zoning restrictions in Vermilion Parish... 'They can locate next to a residential area because we don't have zoning in our parish,' explained Police Jury President Nathan Granger."
>> Insanity <<
The Multi-Chem plant being built in Vermilion Parish will blend a witch's brew of deadly toxins right on top of Chicot Aquifer, Southwest Louisiana's sole freshwater source.
Letting the same people do the same thing over and over again expecting different results is one definition of insanity, and nobody is aware of the implications here more so than mental health professional Marcella Manuel. She lives half a mile away from what could be Multi-Chem's next Ground Zero, and is determined to evict them before their next toxic blending bungle forces her to evacuate. Ms. Manuel, a licensed practical counselor in Maurice LA, has founded Citizens Against Multi-Chem (email@example.com) to alert environmental groups, warn those living in Vermilion, Acadia and Lafayette parishes of the imminent threats to their water supply and public safety, and organize an effective multi-front resistance.
>> Epilogue <<
If you're a proponent of depopulation, then perhaps the present population of the Cajun Oil Patch and their potentially pollution-mutated progeny are as good a starting point as any. Otherwise, consider this:
Like BP and Halliburton, in the ruthless pursuit of dirty energy and pollution profits Multi-Chem has already done irreparable harm to ecosystems in Louisiana, across America and around the globe. And in return for the now fleeting prospects of cheap gas and steady paychecks, we've let them get away with it for years. We must stop this insanity, and we must stop it NOW. If not us, then WHO? If not now, then WHEN? And if not for ourselves then for our grandchildren, who'll be spitting on the toxic earth we're buried in if we don't.

Chile Retail Report Q4 2012
Report description
The Chile Retail Report examines the long-term potential of the local consumer market, but flags shortterm concerns about the impact on Chile's economic outlook of high labour costs, a moderation in external demand and a fiscally conservative government.
The report examines how best to maximise returns in the Chilean retail market while minimising investment risk, and also explores the impact of a possible rapid slowdown in Chinese growth and a eurozone break-up on the Chilean consumer and on the ability of producers and exporters to realise returns in the short term.
The report also analyses the growth and risk management strategies being employed by the leading players in the Chilean retail sector, as they seek to maximise the growth opportunities offered by the local market.
Chilean per-capita consumer spending is forecast to increase by a healthy 28% to 2016, compared with a regional growth average of 17%. The country comes sixth (out of seven) in BMI's Latin American Retail Risk/Reward Ratings, although it outperforms significantly for Risk. Among all retail categories, food & drink will be the outperformer through to 2016 in growth terms, with sales forecast to increase from US$25.80bn in 2012 to US$38.79bn by the end of the forecast period, up more than 50%.
In the competitive arena, BMI sees upside potential in the opportunity for mass grocery retail (MGR) retailers to expand beyond Santiago, which should lead to Chile's MGR market becoming an increasingly attractive proposition for multinational companies. Sales at MGR outlets are expected to grow by almost 46% over the period, from US$20.82bn in 2012 to US$30.31bn by 2016.
Over the last quarter, BMI has revised the following forecasts/views: ? BMI remains above consensus on growth in 2012 at 4.8%, noting that Chile saw real GDP pick up in Q112 to 5.6% year-on-year (y-o-y), from 4.5% the previous quarter, thanks to a positive contribution from net exports. However, the precarious external environment means that downside risks are significant and growing.
BMI is sticking with its forecast for household expenditure to grow by 4.5% in real terms in 2012 (down from 8.8% in 2011), before picking up slightly to 6.0% in 2013. Unemployment remained near its lowest level in a decade at 6.5% in April; and, while consumer credit growth slowed, to Chile Retail Report Q4 2012 © Business Monitor International Ltd Page 6 15.8% y-o-y in April from 16.2% the previous month, the rate of expansion is still strong, with nominal levels of consumer loans continuing to hit record highs.
BMI's forecast for relatively strong private consumption has been reinforced by an upward retail sales trend. Latest data from the National Statistics Institute show that Chilean retail sales rose 8.9% y-o-y in June, up from 5.6% in May. Although the solid labour market is driving healthy gains in consumer demand, the sharp increase in retail sales growth was also influenced by the extra two days in June.

This lecture gives a preview of the 2013 exhibition, Sicily: Art and Invention between Greece and Rome, at the Getty Villa. Innovation and experimentation flourished in ancient Sicily, an island crossroads that forged a distinctive Hellenic identity and occupied a pivotal position in Mediterranean history. Former Greek colonies emerged as wealthy city-states, and their art, architecture, theater, poetry, philosophy, and science left an original and enduring stamp on mainland Greece and Rome.

Stobart Group buys Autologic for £12.4m
Published at 07:58, Tuesday, 19 June 2012
Cumbrian haulage giant Stobart Group is entering the car transport business with the purchase of logistics business Autologic Holdings in a deal worth £12.4m.
It is the latest in a series of expansions that has seen the firm diversify into property, airport ownership and legal services.
Autologic has its headquarters in Northampton and sites nationwide as well as operations in Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
The firm, which was founded in 1996 and floated a year later, provides services such as vehicle storage and transportation, and paint and accident repairs. It posted revenues of £144.7m during 2011, generating pre-tax profits of £2.1m.
Stobart Group says Autologic will benefit from the its buying power in relation to new vehicles, maintenance, parts and insurance. It also wants to see Autologic to expand further into European markets.
Stobart chief executive Andrew Tinkler said: "Autologic is an excellent fit with our group strategy to expand into complementary service offerings, and it will facilitate our entry into the auto-logistics market in a leading position.
"We expect to be able to drive substantial synergies and efficiencies from improved fleet utilisation, vehicle buying and maintenance, which will benefit our customers and drive value for our shareholders. "We also see opportunities to expand Autologic's presence in Europe where we have a growing presence."

Lugia (parashuffling)
The below is a duplicate of the post I made in the "project ubers" thread.
My favorite set in all of ubers. Parashuffling Lugia Lugia @ Leftovers Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SDef Impish Nature - Thunder Wave - Substitute - Roost - Whirlwind This is the best set for paralysis support. This uses the same EV spread as the Great Wall set, to maximize mixed bulk. With Multiscale intact, Lugia is not OHKO'd by any hit in ubers (except a few attacks from turboblaze and teravolt Pokemon, which negate multiscale). It can even beat non-specs kyurem-w one-on-one, as Ice Beam does not OHKO, and Lugia can proceed to T-wave and roost-stall Kyurem, taking less damage due to Roost's mechanics, while waiting for Kyurem to get fully paralyzed; then, it can just phaze kyurem out. Note that specs kyurem-w will OHKO with Ice Beam. Generally, once the Lugia is up against a paralyzed opponent, it can simply continue using substitute and roost until the opponent becomes fully paralyzed, then use roost once (without the substitute breaking due to multiscale and often being "grounded"), and then phaze the attacker. For example. Lugia's substitute can survive Mewtwo's ice beam after multiscale and roost, and can therefore just phaze it away. Since it has no attacks, it fails against taunt leads such as deoxys-s, and also darkrai leads. However, it can beat non-lead darkrai if it has a substitute up, as it can paralyze then phaze darkrai. This Lugia should be used on teams with a slow sweeper or wallbreaker, in order to allow the wallbreaker to outspeed the opposing team. In fact, this Lugia is one of the best teammates to Specs Kyogre. While Lugia is effective at spreading paralysis, a smart opponent will continually switch back into a paralyzed pokemon to avoid having the rest of the team paralyzed. Therefore, stealth rock is a necessity, and spikes help too (though toxic spikes prevent the spread of paralysis). This makes ferrothorn a good teammate for Lugia. In addition, a spinblocker is also important to stop the hazards from being removed, since Lugia itself can't do anything to a spinner. Rapid spin support helps to retain Multiscale. Keep in mind that Lugia usually loses to darkrai, and all common spinblockers also lose to darkrai. This means that a safe switch-in to darkrai is essential. RestTalk Kyogre is able to switch in easily, whereas Scarf Heracross provides a more offensive counter. Fighting Arceus can also switch in safely. Lugia hates any sort of status, so cleric support is helpful. Chansey is able to use Heal Bell, and is also able to effectively wall Kyurem-W, something no other pokemon can claim. |

please follow the correct format when posting an analysis; this needs to be in skeleton form before QC goes over this, thanks.
at a cursory look, this seems like even bigger spikes bait than the standard great wall so don't be too hopeful.

You can't just post back your post in Project Ubers as an analysis. Change the format to the standard one, link in Nexus's post.
Keep in mind your favourite set is not likely to be approved as a separate set. It plays similarly to the Lugia on-site, with just one move change, Thunder Wave over Toxic. The reason to use Toxic over Thunder Wave is to actually kill things, Lugia is weak and needs poison to deal damage. Paralyzing something like Rayquaza and not being able to kill it sucks, especially if you are supposed to be their counter. Change the format, and give good reasons why is this set so different from the standard Great Wall Lugia set.

Yeah, this set is pretty much the same as the Sub shuffling set, except with Thunder Wave in it.
Whatevs sig. QC member for OU and Ubers, VM me for a look at your analysis. Just make sure it's good. Also, if you want me to rate your team (OU/DW OU/Ubers), give me a VM. If I don't rate it, it's either 1) it's so shit it's too much trouble, 2) I'm busy, or 3) the team is fantastic and I have nothing I can suggest to you. You should be able to recognise which one.

No reply from original user, and this is the same set from the one on site, just Thunder Wave over Toxic. They play exactly the same. Not worth a separate set.
