Accenture to Review IC Fab Proposals for IndiaWill India succeed in its quest to create the next Silicon Valley? The government is convinced it has a good chance of attracting semiconductor companies to help accelerate the creation of a local chip industry. And it has signed up the research and consulting firm Accenture to help set up the terms and conditions for proposals it is soliciting from investors and semiconductor manufacturers. Accenture said it agreed to a request from India's Department of Electronics and Information Technology to examine "proposals from global technology providers and investors interested in building semiconductor fabrication units" in the country. The high-tech consulting firm is expected to develop the template for business proposals and suggest the terms and conditions that would govern the relationship between the interested parties and the Indian government. "With an investment scope of billions of U.S. dollars, this strategic project holds considerable promise for Indian manufacturing," Krishna Giri, managing partner/director for Accenture's health and public services business in India, said in a press release. "By bringing together investors, manufacturers and the government of India, this initiative will help build the critical collaboration that is needed to bridge the gap in domestic semiconductor production." The Indian government has made the creation of a local semiconductor manufacturing operation one of the cornerstones of its plan for technology industry development and economic growth. With demand for high-tech equipment and services exploding in the country, the government says it can create jobs and foster growth by encouraging investors to establish chip manufacturing plants there. It has said Indian demand for semiconductors could be as high as $400 billion in the next eight years, but the local market would be able to satisfy only about one-quarter of that demand. Many chip vendors have branches in India. Few have been looking at setting up fabrication plants in the country. The cost of setting up semiconductor plants can be extremely high -- between $3 billion and $4 billion for next-generation fabs. And the number of chipmakers that own and run their own fabs has declined in recent years as many companies have outsourced wafer production to foundries like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) (NYSE: TSM) to reduce cost. India has been highly successful in winning IT service and consulting business from around the globe. Nevertheless, it is not considered an attractive high-tech manufacturing center, and it hasn't been able to gain traction in its quest to compete with China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia for electronics production. As a result, the local electronics supply chain is underdeveloped compared with China's. To attract chipmakers and financiers, India would have to offer very attractive incentives, including low- or no-interest loans, tax breaks, and other guarantees for smooth takeoff. It might even have to set itself up as a financial partner to reduce the risks investors must assume. Indications are that the government is seriously considering these steps. In the press release from Accenture, Ajay Kumar, joint secretary of India's Department of Electronics and Information Technology, said he believes "this initiative will help create an ecosystem for electronics system design and manufacturing in the country." At this point, the idea of a vibrant semiconductor fabrication industry in India remains a fond wish. Accenture may be able to help the country establish the modalities and terms for attracting and retaining investors, but these represent only the basic foundation for the more difficult job of winning over investors who are also being wooed by other nations around the globe. |

An Excerpt from Call the Midwife
The highest-rated drama in BBC history returns to PBS Presents in March 2013 Less than a year after the first season finale, PBS's hit series Call the Midwife returns to Sunday nights this spring with an all-new eight-episode season. Fans of Downton Abbey and Mad Men have fallen in love with this candid look at post-war London. In the 1950s, twenty-two-year-old Jenny Lee leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in London's East End slums. While delivering babies all over the city, Jenny encounters a colorful cast of women—from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives, to the woman with twenty-four children who can't speak English, to the prostitutes of the city's seedier side.

Our instructor, Drake, made it great, but by itself, Jules wouldn't be ideal for diving.

Ghost Divas CENSCORSHIP? HAHAHA!
We want people to speak their minds! But we also want people to have a point, otherwise we are not going to "endorse" you or ignorance.
If people are going to blog about fakes, fraud and scam artists than do so. Please do so! But make sure you have a strong case. This week we have watched another type of "paranormal police" squirm and retract/rewrite their blog because of mistakes that were made with trying to "prove" that we had something to do with deleting our own profile. They were wrong and even our "haters" stepped up to the plate and proved this person wrong. Why did the "haters" step in? Because they obviously have some morals. What was being reported was total bullshit, therefore it was nothing more than blatant lies. We do not LIE. We report what we see, offer commentary or we report what is handed to us in our inbox (thanks everyone!)
As for censorship- We believe in freedom of speech yes. But we do not believe in lies and things that are one sided or based on a "personal level".
This week we watched innocent people get their names mentioned during derogatory statements. For example "****** is not into ghosts, but I bet she gives good head" or "******* is not into ghosts, why he married her is probably because of *****"
This is NOT FACTS you dumbass. These are statements from some bitter woman (or man) that obviously has some insecurities about the person you are "attacking". WE DO NOT GO THERE. And HELLO has it dawned on your that these people are our friends and have been for many years? You can NOT make us agree with you. Your points are pointless, you are doing nothing more than just slinging poo' on someones name because you were "burnt" by them in the past... and his/her affiliates.
The Ghost Divas try to not get "personal" with anyone that we may blog about. Sometimes it happens yes, but it's because the opposing party went there. Everyone knows when we go off, we go off. It's for a good laugh :)
So, back to the censcorship. We can censor what we see as stupidity. Call us a hypocrite all ya want. We will not trash talk about a person from something that took place almost 10 years ago. This is a personal issue. NOT a present day community issue. It's your problem, get over it. If you really care about the "field" stop harping on stupid subjects like why some people are married to each other while others are not. That's just insane. We do NOT have to keep nonsense linked up to us.
We are not interested in your "blog hits/views" either. You seem to think this is some sort of competition. If it was a competition, lol we have already "won". But, hits and views are fun but that's not why we do what we do.
Get a life. We are NOT going to link you up. We do not like the way you are slinging poo on people because you have a personal vendetta with them.
To the other "paranormal police" out there... um. You proved yourself to be a coward idiot. You are hiding and your information was wrong. You can't just LIE and call it paranormal justice. Dumbass.

Well said Tonya!!
Some people just don't get it. We hear the gossip and dirt. That stuff is personal. Delving into people's personal lives and scandals is not what what we're about. Why *** married ***? That's their business. No one elses.
It is ridiculous and immature for anyone to assume that married couples should share all their interests and hobbies. In the real world it doesn't work that way. My husband isn't the least bit interested in ghostly matters and paranormal stuff. It works for us. If anyone else has a problem with that it's their problem, not ours. The person that dregs up old stuff from years ago should get over it and move on. - December 3, 2008 at 10:00 AM

That is actually what helps make a marriage stronger, IMHO, as it allows the individuals to maintain their own identities. - December 3, 2008 at 10:11 AM

Who will take a stand? Let's end the pettiness. We are all into this because we want a peek at the light at the end of the tunnel. We should crusade against the liars and charlatans, and those in it for fame. But, please, let's all keep our eyes on the prize.

Bobby, nobody really cares a lick about your blog. Put a gag in it already, or get a job, or find something more productive to do with your time. Nobody cares what you have to say, and that is the REAL problem, isn't it?? So you'll continue to talk about the same crap from years ago, complete with inaccuracies.
I've stopped reading your blogs. Stop spamming us with "go read my blog" messages. We have more important things to talk about and deal with than you. Grow up. Shut up. - December 7, 2008 at 7:22 AM

Will someone please close the door...Seems that some hot air's blowing around in here. 1996 was a long time ago...any food or canned goods bought in 1996 are no longer edible.

One more thing while the hot air blows--DO you think you are the only one??? Every one of us has been, at one time or another, used, or screwed over in this field. And it hurts, no denying that. But we have to get over it and move on..To dwell on and on and on about past wrongs done us only alienates others. Use your abilities for something more constructive...

Thanksgiving Worship in the Park planned for Saturday
By ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICH
North Port Community News Editor
NORTH PORT — In addition to praising the Lord and bonding with others, residents who attend Saturday's nondenominational "Worship in the Park" event are asked to bring food for the needy.
"The citywide Pastors Network is partnering with the North Port Food Coalition to collect a minimum of 1,000 canned goods to feed a number of struggling and needy families during the Thanksgiving holiday," said the Rev. Eddie DeJesus, pastor of New Hope Community Church — one of a number of churches planning on attending the event that begins at 5 p.m. Saturday at Dallas White Park. "We want people to load up as many canned goods and nonperishable food items as possible and bring them to the park. We will have receptacles designated to make it easy to donate."

Thread: June in Berlin Part 3
June in Berlin Part 3
This was our last day in Berlin and the day where we were doing the Third Reich walking tour and the DDR museum. The weather forecast was appalling - rain all day, but we were going to do it. I had planned this for ages and bought the tickets from Viator, so it WAS going to be done. The bags were packed and left at reception and by 9.45 we were off!
We had to make our way to the U Bahn stop at the Zoological Gardens, which was just beside the main station (our meeting point for the tour).
The tour guide was easy to find as she had the Original Berlin Walking tours placard. Our guide was Heather, an American and incredibly knowledgeable historian. She had graduated from university in Philadelphia and had then gone to Berlin for 2 years. Having gone back to complete her Masters at Brown University, she missed Berlin so much she had to go back.
We started our tour off by heading back on the U Bahn to Mohrenstasse. When we got out we were all taken aback by the beauty of the station. The walls were covered in beautiful red Italian marble, a gift to Hitler from Mussolini. The marble was used to line the walls of Hitler's Chancellory and after the war, when the Chancellory was demolished, this was one of the ways it was used not my picture BTW.
I wont bore you with the details of the tour but will just post photos of the best bits.
After getting off at Mohrenstrass, we were taken to a number of locations important during the Nazi Era. Heather was so knowledgeable and had so many dates and details buried in that head of hers! I reckon she has done this tour quite a number of times. After moving between several landmarks we came to an area of the city which was one of the most important during the war Wilhelm Strasse. This was the street where many important Nazi buildings stood, especially the Air Force Ministry building
It was built during Hitler's 'reign' but strangely enough was one of the few buildings that survived Allied bombing. I cant believe the allies missed it. It is so large. Seemingly the Germans covered it with blue tarpaulins so that the bombers would believe it was a body of water, and it worked! Those who have seen the film Valkyrie might recognise the building.
As we walked up Wilhelm Srasse we stood out of the pouring rain for a few moments at the entrance to a car park. This was where the Prince Albrecht hotel once was and was the hotel frequented by top Nazis. It has long gone, but opposite it is one of the most fascinating and historical spots in Berlin.
The area to the left is where the dreaded Gestapo HQ once stood. To the right is one of three pieces of the Berlin wall that now remains, so the are to the right of the picture was once East Berlin and to the right West Berlin. Behind is a building (the name of which I cant remember) but one with the most beautiful gilt and I believe it is being restored.
f you look closely you can see lots of bullet holes and shrapnel marks, a result of the ferocious final Battle of Berlin.
The foundations of the Gestapo HQ are now being unearthed
and a very poignant memorial (called the Topography of Terrors) is being built. At the moment there is a series of hoardings explaining the horrors of the war such as the death camps, the persecution of the Jews and stories about those who braved the regime.
It was hard going trying to take all this in as the rain fell, Florida style on our backs! There was such a lot to take in, but it was all tragically fascinating.
While we were there I couldnt help but take a photo of an old fashioned East German Trebant perched on a pillar.
and the Die Welt balloon which usually flies over the city but was grounded because of the weather.
As we moved on and changed stations again we came to a building which looks very 60s and modern, or so I thought. It wasnt built in the 60s but in the late 20s and was part of the Barhaus movement. Seemingly Hitler hated it as he was into classical designs fit for a Reich.

This is the remaining frontage to one of Berlin's oldest and most beautiful stations. I cant remember
the name, but not only was it bombed but it went into decline when East and West were divided. Berliners fought long and hard to preserve the remainder. It must have been really beautiful in its prime.
Off we went on the train again, this time to Potsdamer Platz and an area of the city we thought we knew well. As we walked up towards the Reichstag we turned off on to a side street. We stopped to take a photo of the Bundersrat, the second seat of government. It is amazing just how much vacant land there is in Berlin still waiting to be developed.
As we walked a little further we came to a totally non descript piece of land (now a car park and childrens' play area
This in fact is where Hitler spent the last days of the war, in the bunker 30ft below ground under the Chancellory. The bunker was done away with in order to stop any kind of hero worship. Where the blue car is, just about marks the spot where Hitler took his own life.
This was the end of what was a fantastic tour and at only £10 each it was the best value of the holiday. I would advise anyone who goes to Berlin not to miss out on this one. We left Heather, giving her a good tip and she did appreciate it.
We walked up towards the Holocaust memorial where there is a line of cafes.
We decide we wanted a German meal to end our holiday, so we sat down and ordered. Michael went for another Currywurst monstrosity and I had sautéed potatoes with sauerkraut and sausage.
The heavens opened as we sat outside and ate but that was OK because we were covered by an awning and umbrella.
I decide to move next door to Dunkin Donuts for a quick cup of coffee and then we walked back to the U Bahn to get across town to the DDR museum
I had been looking forward to this as my son had been last year and loved it.
We managed to get very lost around Alexanders Platz but a very helpful German gave us directions down to the banks of the Spree and in 10 minutes we were there.
It is right beside the Berlin Cathedral or Dom. In many ways I wish we had gone there instead.
Re: June in Berlin Part 3
The DDR Museum is a hands on museum outlining East German life during the communist era. It was a wet day and the owners just piled the pundits in until it was bursting. I am really into museums but I honestly didnt enjoy the layout of this place or the way the exhibits were displayed. It took us all of 30 mims to get around and neither Michael or I enjoyed it. Thank goodness we only paid 4 euros each.
After the disappointment of the museum we decided we just had to have one last cup of German coffee and some cheesecake.
It was delicious and this little guy decided to join us too.
As we walked back to the station, we came across this lovely traditional toy shop.
We arrived back at the hotel to collect our cases and had a sandwich before heading back on the U Bahn and S Bahn to the airport. After a delayed flight we arrived back at Stansted at 1am. We had had a fabulous 3 days in Berlin much better than last year, and know that we will definitely return to this great city again some day.
Re: June in Berlin Part 3
Mags, I have read all three of your Berlin trip reports and have thoroughly enjoyed them, and the photos are fab. DH has been wanting to go to Berlin for a while, and I haven't been bothered. Now I want to go....that last tour you described sound fascinating and touching, and the visit to parliament a must. That blue car that marks the spot.... Thanks!

NEW YORK >> Jeremy Lin will never forget that brief, beautiful stretch of basketball known as Linsanity.
His first trip back to Madison Square Garden was memorable, too.
Lin had 22 points and eight assists in his return to New York, leading the Houston Rockets to a 109-96 victory Monday night that ended the Knicks' 10-game home winning streak to open the season.
The undrafted point guard from Harvard said before the game he would always remember his breakthrough, no matter how long he plays. But he wasn't thinking about it Monday, even as he put together a good imitation of it.
"I've moved on, they've moved on," Lin said. "We have good memories, but at the same time we're all in a different place now."
Cheered then jeered, and later floored by Tyson Chandler's flagrant foul, Lin added another masterpiece to the ones he compiled last season during the height of his memorable run. No longer the fan favorite he was when wearing the home uniform, Lin got a mixed reception when he left the game with 2:25 remaining and the Rockets leading by 16.
"It was a lot of fun playing out there and I think our team, we took a step in the right direction," Lin said. "And for me, it was great to be back and it was a lot of fun to play on that court again."
James Harden had 28 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who blew out the Knicks for the second time this season. They have won the last seven meetings, including a 131-103 rout in Houston on Nov. 23.
Rookie Chris Copeland scored a career-high 29 points for the Knicks, who played without leading scorer Carmelo Anthony and had their four-game winning streak snapped. They fell to 18-6, matching the record they had under Mike Woodson after he replaced Mike D'Antoni on March 14 last season.
Woodson's team decided not to match Houston's contract offer to Lin, and nobody could argue when Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni led the Knicks to the best record in the Eastern Conference with a team that led the NBA in fewest turnovers. Continued...
But Lin was the best point guard on the floor, just as he so often was during his dazzling run last winter, when the NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent went from undrafted benchwarmer to the biggest story in basketball.
"He had a good game, without a doubt," Felton said. "I never talked junk about Jeremy Lin. Anything I said about Jeremy, I felt like he deserved anything. He deserved everything he got. He had a good game. Plain and simple."
Felton scored 14 points but shot 7 of 18. Kidd was 2 for 9, and both committed three turnovers.
The Rockets outscored the Knicks 54-29 over the middle two quarters, denying New York its first 11-0 start at home since the 1991-92 season.
The Knicks trailed by just five midway through the third quarter before the Rockets blew it open with a 15-0 run, with Lin either scoring or assisting on five of their six baskets.
His layup opened the run, and he then found Marcus Morris for a layup and a 3-pointer for a 67-55 Houston lead. Lin assisted on the second of Harden's consecutive 3-pointers, then had a steal and layup that gave Houston a 75-55 cushion.
Lin saw some fans wearing his old jersey, but said he didn't let his mind drift back to last season during the game. He doubled his scoring average in what he called an up-and-down season so far.
"I hope this is the start of a nice run for him, because he works really hard," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "He's a great kid. He deserves it."
Anthony decided Monday to give his sprained left ankle a second straight game to recover. The Knicks did get good injury news when Amare Stoudemire, out all season after left knee surgery, was cleared to practice. He will work out with Erie, the Knicks' NBA Development League affiliate, when it practices at the Knicks' training facility on Tuesday.
The Rockets snapped a seven-game road losing streak, their longest since an eight-game skid in 2001-02. Continued...
A sellout crowd that included swimsuit model Kate Upton — who was on one fewer Sports Illustrated covers than Lin last February — gave the Harvard graduate a loud ovation during the introduction of starting lineups. The cheers quickly turned to jeers once the game started, particularly when he made a basket. There were boos when Chandler knocked him to the ground with a shot to the head that resulted in a flagrant foul.
"He hit me hard, but I still kept coming though," Lin said.
Chandler felt it was a clean, hard foul that didn't warrant a flagrant. He and Lin hugged after the game.
"He had a good game," Chandler said. "He had a good game the other night. He's a good player. He's going to have some nights, but I thought we could have took away a lot of his easy baskets, him and James Harden."
J.R. Smith came off the bench to make all five shots and give the Knicks a 31-29 after one. The Rockets scored the first 10 of the second quarter, opening a 39-31 lead on Lin's 3-pointer with 9:26 left in the half. Houston scored the final six of the half, turning an eight-point lead into a 56-42 cushion.
NOTES: Stoudemire is working out with the D-League team because the Knicks are not expected to do much running at practice Tuesday. They haven't held a formal practice since Dec. 4. "It seems strange but we have a stretch right now where we're playing every other day and it's hard to play a game and then think you can come in and drill these guys," Woodson said. "I like to practice, that's where I feel like you learn a lot and stay sharp in terms of your defensive rotations, but I can't run them in practice and expect them to come back and play the next day and then practice again. There's just too many games coming at us right now."

We find ourselves explaining where we got our name from… a lot.
No, we are not Death Metal or Goth freaks- The Hell Gate is an actual bridge in Astoria Queens- a unique, beautiful, gothic style railroad bridge & synonymous with the East River view to take we have on life from Queens NY.
We chose not to go down the Donald Trump school of naming routes (random use of latin) or name ourselves or play the bullshit bingo option of using a variation on "stock" "pic" "foto" etc etc – the fodder stock school of no imagination.
A beautiful photograph of the Hell Gate bridge from the 1940s is in the link here, you'll have to scroll down a bit to get to it – the actual website of the NYC Municipal online photo gallery is currently down because so many people logged onto it yesterday .

NEW CHAPTER!!! 05-17-11 [Chapter IX: Lone Star]
Fanfiction.net Mirror
For ALL of your Video Game Soundtrack needs: http://gh.ffshrine.org?r=139658
Go to "Zipped Albums" on right hand side, then use the search function to find something specific!
I am a shadow, I seek the ways of Hadou.
I'll have you know, I am, Lucario.
Let me see: having Salamence use Hyper Beam and then Flamethrower on Ash directly, ordering Drapion to grab him, then ejecting him and Pikachu from her ship -- while it's in flight. I have a feeling that Pokémon Hunter J is developing a grudge against Ash for standing in her way too often. In fact, I will dare to say that J has taken a special place as one of my favorite fictional female villains... alongside the Female Changeling from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I will look forward to seeing the next confrontation with J, such that by the final showdown, she might be inclined to wage an all-out, one-woman war to destroy Ash and his friends once and for all. Fortunately, that Aura Sphere-wielding Riolu is back where it belongs, thereby denying J's client the power he's been craving for some unknown reasons. Overall, this was an excellent episode.
Babylon 5, Codename: Kids Next Door, 24, and now, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I am many things at once, and many people might have different opinions about little, old me. If freedom is my main idea, then harmony, individuality, and modernization are the three attributes I now sense and track. Those three attributes and that idea combined to make the United States of America a great global superpower and Pearlshipping and Wishfulshipping great Pokémon couples, and now, they've combined to make those four shows truly great television programs to me. I will enjoy enthusiastically supporting the Equestrian ponies' adventures for peace, for humankind, for the future.
This episode was nice and epic with a great story. I saw it in black and white which made it more atmospheric. The episode was enjoyable and enthusiastic.
I have my name on and thus own: Professor Layton and The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
The best episode in this season. i loved the battle with Aggron, it was great.
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
I agree with Deicaro, that it was epic. Hunter J and a cute Riolu in one episode? With Aura from Movie 8, music from Movie 8, and a new Pokemon Ranger? That's intense
I liked that Riolu was unique due to the fact that it knew Aura Sphere (it cannot legally learn that until it evolves into Lucario). I guess it knew it because it was more attuned to aura than most of it's species.
Hunter J trapping Ash and almost killing his with Hyper Beams was so cool, she's so darn evil. 10/10
#thuglife #navy #ratchet
Hunter J is one of the best villains the show has ever seen. She shows little to no emotion for people and pokemon, she can steal pokemon in the blink of an eye, and she flies around on a Salamence that will Hyper Beam anything at her command, what more could you ask for in a pokemon villain? I'm glad Riolu was reunited with it's trainer and is now safe. These Ranger episodes were great.
Pokemon Hunter J having a grudge against Ash for standing in her way its nonsense and not true at all because it was made up and it was never a hate hate thing between Ash& Hunter J, it was a love & hate thing between them and some fans need to deal with it since it its a fact.
This mother ****ing crap about Hunter J having a one woman war to destroy Ash& his friends its not true at all and this its made up crap that some retarded fans made up in their crazy god damn heads.
This episode wasn't epic at all are all that great and some fans need to stop making things a fact like Staraptor saving Ash's life which its total bull **** nonsense since Ash's life was not in any danger at all and this crap about Hunter J wanted to kill Ash, was never ever a fact in the first place , are even try to kill Ash at all in this episode and there its no hate hate thing with them, it its a love and hate thing Ash & Hunter J have for each other, atleast have them have sex with each other which i no ain't going to happen.

To the person above- O-Okay take a chill pill. And J did try to kill Ash and obivously hates him. And hello! Ash is 10! J is like 30. And ash was in danger of breaking something when Staraptor caught him
Anyways despite what the above poster said (I know he's banned) I thought it was a pretty good episode. J must be really sick of them now, I say she is one of my favorite villains as well, much more evil then Jessie lol (Or Cassidy), and she's ruthless and comes real close to taking off with the Pokemon.
Those last two picture are just too cute for words.
The last picture: I'll bet Riolu's thinking "Yay! I has cookie that looks like me now!"
(Yes, i know it's actually a wooden carving.)
Lucario At Service, you sure do have a knack for finding the coolest/cutest screenshots ever! I applaud you!
Oh, no! The onslaught of one-headed doduo's is coming! RUUUNNN!!!
In relation to this picture, it was neat to see a Nidorino and (I think, I can't really tell, there a little small) some Nidoran females in their as well.
I actually laughed when I read this!
Wow! No sense of humor much?
^ Ooookay...
Now my summary:
An epic conclusion to an awesome two parter. So glad that Hunter J didn't get her hands on that little Riolu! Also, Ash sure gets awesomely emotional when it comes to rescuing Pokemon from Hunter J! An all out showdown between Hunter J and AshnCo. would be so epic!
My thoughts:
The way Riolu says his name is really cute!
What a heart-warming scene when Riolu just jumps into Ash's arms and hugs him. Awwwww.....
*Hugs Riolu*

You know your mom spends more of your money than just on groceries. Shes hittin the booze too. Shes just drunk dialing you
I wonder if that Riolu was from the generation of Sir Aaron's Lucario?
This episode was good. Those cruel machines were back again... this time used for Riolu... It was cool how Riolu was able to communicate to Ash its whereabouts through the Aura connection. It was cool that Riolu got it's wooden carving of Riolu back again. That wooden carving is really cool.
Hunter J was always ruthless to Pokemon, i can see that she is also ruthless to humans aswell, after what she almost did to Ash in this episode. J having her Drapion crushing Ash and dropping him out of the ship like that, made this a very hot sexual episode and what she did was a very good turn on. I mean Hunter J is hot looking after all.

Back then, I hoped Ash would catch that Riolu. It was such an incredible Pokemon with a very nice personality. And to boot, it knew Aura Sphere ahead of time. Too bad this was the last time the aura concept was brought.
Oh dear, that "Doduo" surely has quite a story to tell.
Finally, those bags full with money are being used wisely! ~ Made by yours truly ~

DOBSON — A public hearing on an Elkin-based economic development project highlights the agenda when the Surry County Board of Commissioners meets Tuesday night.
The meeting, normally scheduled for Monday night but postponed for the Martin Luther King holiday, is set to get under way at 6 p.m. in the Commissioner's Meeting Room of the Surry County Government Center in Dobson.
The project, known as "Project Liberty," is a downtown redevelopment project utilizing the old Liberty Theater on East Main Street, according to board Chair Eddie Harris.
Harris said there will be jobs created, "not a significant amount," but "this project encompasses Elkin's economic development strategy that incorporates investment in the downtown area for revitalization.
"It's a fairly significant investment in the county, of about $1.6 million, with some expectation that it could exceed that number in the future," he said. "We feel like an investment that significant, that mirrors Elkin's economic development strategy, is quite important in the scope of helping the town's revitalization efforts."
According to Harris, the as-yet-unnamed developer of the project will be constructing a banquet hall, retail and office space and restaurant in the former theater.
The county's investment, if approved following Tuesday's public hearing, is to be spread over five years. The total investment is expected to be $37,000, a match of the investment planned by Elkin.
"It's all based on the developer's investment," Harris said.
During Tuesday's meeting, Kim Bates, the county's planning director, is expected to update the board on a proposal to close a portion of Butner Road in the Pinnacle community.
The portion of the road being considered for closure is surrounded by land owned by River Oak Farm, LLC.
The road runs from Shoals Road and ends near the Yadkin River, where it dead ends.
Michael Hartgrove, the county's tax administrator, is expected to update the board on county tax collections during the meeting.
Maggie Simmons, health educator with the Surry County Health and Nutrition Center, is expected to present the State of the County Health Report for 2012.

Robert Ladanyi
Robert Ladanyi (pronounced La-DA-knee) is in his eighth season as an assistant coach at Florida. He coaches the Gator uneven bar performers and also shares the team's conditioning coach duties.
The 2012 season saw Florida make five additions to the Gators' All-Time Top 20 scores list at 9.95 (Alaina Johnson, three times; Mackenzie Caquatto and Ashanée Dickerson). Both Caquatto and Johnson advanced to the NCAA bars final. Johnson claimed the Southeastern Conference bar title with her winning mark of 9.925. During the course of the season, Florida ranked No. 1 in the final eight national uneven bars rankings of 2012.
Under Ladanyi, the Gators have ranked No. 1 in 15 of the last 18 national uneven bars rankings (spanning to 2011 season), turned in eight individual bar marks of 9.95 or better and seen the Gators claim a total of four All-America honors on the bars.
Ladanyi coached vault and the team on their tumbling skills when he first joined the Gator coaching staff. The upgrade was immediately seen in his first season in 2006 as the Gators gained a reputation among the nation's collegiate programs for their difficulty throughout the floor lineup. Florida's 12 representatives from 2006-10 in NCAA floor exercise final competition is tops among the nation's gymnastics programs.
In 2008, Florida sent four to the NCAA floor final (Amanda Castillo, Corey Hartung, Ashley Reed and Nicola Willis) with Willis leading the Gators by cumulating her UF career with a third-place finish. Half of Florida's floor lineup earned All-America honors in 2006 and 2007, with Savannah Evans (2006 and 2007), Hartung (2006 and 2007) and Reed (2007) advancing to the NCAA Event Final. Hartung finished her UF career in 2009 by taking third in the NCAA floor final. A pair of Gator freshmen – Marissa King and Ashanée Dickerson advanced to the 2010 NCAA floor final.
The Gators also were successful in vault under Ladanyi's supervision. He saw seven additions to the program's all-time top-10 vault team totals list from 2007 to 2010. A Gator took at least a share of nine vault event titles during the course of the 2006 campaign. Two Gators advanced to the 2007 NCAA vault event final - Castillo and Evans. A Gator claimed at least a share of all but two 2008 regular-season vault titles and Reed won the SEC and NCAA Southeast Region vault titles. In 2009, Florida gymnasts claimed five regular-season vault titles and Maranda Smith advanced to the NCAA vault final. King and Dickerson also represented UF in the 2010 NCAA vault final.
His peers recognized Ladanyi and fellow Gator assistant Adrian Burde as the 2011 National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches for Women (NACGC) Southeast Region Assistant Coaches of the Year.
Ladanyi came to UF from the Mihaiuc Gymnastics Academy (MGA) in Webster, Texas, where he had coached since 2002. Three gymnasts advanced to the National Junior Olympic Championships during his time at MGA. He also was an assistant coach at the Academy of Gymnastics and Dance in Las Vegas, Nev., in 2001-02.
Before coaching in the United States, Ladanyi was head coach of CSM in Baia Mare, Romania (1992-97). Part of his responsibilities included coaching the Romania Junior National team from 1994-97. Three gymnasts he coached were selected for the 1999 Romanian Senior National team, while Monica Sabou was the alternate for the 2001 Romanian World Team. Ladanyi then left his native Romania to become the head coach at S.G. Amsicora in Cagliari, Italy from 1997-01.
Ladanyi graduated from the Romanian National School of Coaching in 1994 with a degree in International High Level Gymnastics. He trained with the Romanian National Team where he was an all-around competitor who excelled in parallel bars and rings before an injury forced him to retire from competition at age 19.
Ladanyi has two daughters, Gabriella, who was born in December of 2004 and Laila, who arrived in May of 2009. Gabby is an aspiring gymnast herself, taking the 2012 Texas Level 6 Junior A1 state uneven bars title.

using the POD HD 500 with other pedals...HELP
Like (0)
hey everyone, here is my current rig,
GLP Studio
Boss TU-2 Tuner
Vox Satchrator
Boss Flanger
My question,
Im mainly using the HD 500 (signal chain - Noise gate, Parametric EQ, Line 6 Epic Pre amp w/cab & mic , Digital Delay, Ducking Reverb.) for my rhythm tone. i want to set up the satchurator for my lead tone.. is there any specific way i should run my complete chain?
guitar - tuner - Satchurator - HD500 - (BOSS Flange in the effects Loop) to my PA/AMP? OR should i run in a different pattern....
thsnks guys...
I'd stick the dirt box in the loop before (or after to taste) the flanger in the loop, keep the loop on all the time so i can turn on flanger and/or dirt as wanted. or then again i'd stick the flanger between the pod and the power amp rather than in the loop so it is after preamp. or stick the dirt before the pod and the flanger in the loop after the preamp. what fun! is it just me or are the pods flangers vey limited?
yeah , thats why i have the boss flange... i like the 500's phaser, it can be real subtle.. but i like an in your face low end flange.
how about this issue:
i have a flextone II XL, i want to run an external cab, but want the internal speakers to work as well, is there a mod to use?
I have a Flex III XL and it has an external speaker plug on the back. Not sure if the Flex II had that. As for modding there is just a positive and negative wire going to the speaker that could be spliced into. Reguard Ohms law if running parrallel wiring. Do not go under the minimum ohm rating or you will overheat and damage the amp.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

After a week (or more) of animosity, House and Senate conferees have come to an agreement on one part of the budget. In the end, the sticking point was the System Benefit Fund, an obscure line in the state budget that has traditionally been a parking place for funds budget writers have used to assure certification of the budget by the comptroller. As Sylvester Turner explained it to me last night, the fund, which gets its money from a miniscule fee on electric bills, will continue in existence for three years. During that period, the money in the fund will continue to be accessible by families who need help paying their electric bills in the hot summer months, as has been the case in the past. Thereafter, the fund, and the fee, will go out of existence, which, as Tommy Williams said, is like getting a $300 million tax cut each biennium.
Read MorePoor David Dewhurst. He occupies what was once widely considered to be the most powerful office in the state. Now he is reduced to begging Rick Perry to help him pass his pet legislation so that he can have something to take to the voters. Dewhurst has had plenty of time after his loss in the Senate race to develop a legislative program, and now he comes along at the last minute to ask for special [session] treatment for his legislation.
Read MoreThey should have stamped "fragile" on the House budget package. That is how tricky it was to assemble. Chairman Pitts tried to explain to the tea party members that there was no money in SJR 1; it's just a vessel for moving future payments into the Rainy Day Fund for water projects. That didn't seem to mollify the tea party contingent, led by Van Taylor and Scott Sanford, that gathered at the back microphone. Some members worried that the rating services (Moodys and Standard & Poors) would be alarmed because there wasn't enough money in SJR 1. In fact there is no money in the bill, nor was there intended to be any. The money comes later, in HB 1025, where it will be drawn down from the Rainy Day Fund. It will still be necessary for citizens to vote on whether to approive SJR 1. If they don't approve it in November, the Legislature will be back at square one, and action on the water plan will have to wait until 2015.
Read MoreHaven't we seen this picture before? Speaker Straus performs well for most of the session, but when crunch time comes, he can't close the deal. His team has no cohesion (except for Geren), and there doesn't appear to be a strategy. So Straus falls back into his old persona of presiding rather than leading. It's happened every session he has been speaker. I wrote much the same story line a few days ago, ending with the prediction that Straus would end up putting Rick Perry in the driver's seat. That is exactly where we are headed. Just wait and see, Perry is going to eviscerate the restoration of the education cuts.
The Senate, of course, has its own problems. It's more cohesive than the House, but Tommy Williams has fallen back into his old House persona of losing his temper at a key moments. (In Straus's case, it's being in a canoe and choosing not to paddle.) Can you imagine what Bullock would say about this situation? Where are the giants when you need them? I'm not going to wax eloquent about the good old days -- they weren't so good as we might like to remember -- but at least they produced leaders who could close a deal when they had to. Oh, and here's another prediction: SB 11, the drug testing bill that caused so much drama and comedy last night in the House before being killed at midnight, will come back in the special session. What a mess!
Read MoreUPDATE: The Nominations Committee has approved all three nominees the UT System Board of Regents. The full Senate will take up nominations next.
I walked in the east door of the Capitol yesterday with Senator John Whitmire. He asked if I was going to nominations. I said I was. Then he said, "I told them [the nominated regents], 'Don't even sit down. I know you're on a mission. And you're going to hurt your [reputation] very badly.'"
Kirk Watson carried the questioning in the early going. He got the candidates to agree that they cannot fire the president unilaterally, that the decision to initiate the dismissal of a president belongs to the chancellor alone. (For some background, read Jake Silverstein's exclusive interview with Chairman Gene Powell here.)

The FiveFish Studios PEQ-503 is a beautiful, high-quality, single-channel three (3) band Inductor-based equalizer, designed for the popular API VPR500 Rack format.
Each frequency band has two (2) selectable frequencies, and a bypass switch. It also has an overall EQ In/Bypass switch to let you easily make sound comparisons.
The equalizer's smooth broad curves makes tonal adjustments easy and fast. You can go from small, subtle changes to extreme carving or boosting up to +/- 18dB per band. The SUB and AIR frequency bands can give your tracks the chest-thumping punch you want, and that extra sparkle at the top end without sounding harsh. The mid frequencies band takes care of adding that extra bite to your sound to make it pop.
The PEQ-503 Equalizer uses the following:
The PEQ-503 is all about choices. You can outfit the EQ with optional Discrete 2520/990 type op amp*, and an Output Transformer*. You can also request special panels colors*, just email us for availability. There are also on-board jumpers on the EQ that allows you to experiment and change the Low Frequency and Mid Frequency bands from the factory default setting, to better suit your taste or musical style. Output Bypass jumpers also allow you to change between an active balanced direct output, or transformer output coupling.
Join the other professionals that have discovered the PEQ-503 Equalizer's quality performance. The PEQ-503 is equally at home for use in the mix bus, or individual tracks and channels. You will love it!

Custom-made, solid machined aluminum knobs gives the MX5 preamp an expensive look. But don't let it's features and expensive looks fool you, the MX5 is priced very attractively to fit the budget of every home, project or recording studio while still delivering on performance and features!
You also have the option to use Discrete Op Amps (DOA) like 2520/990 type opamp with the MX5 preamp. Just swap out the stock chip, with a Discrete OpAmp for a slightly different flavor.

Most of us DIY audio types have been using PC sound cards to make measurements. There are excellent, inexpensive programs available to do test and measurement of audio equipment available. Personally I use Audiotester. If you've been around my web site you've seen FFT plots generated that way.
What has always been lacking is a decent interface between the sound card and the device under test (DUT for you geeks). There has been much discussion in forums like DIYaudio about this, and many proposals and circuits shown, but so far I've not seen anything implemented.
The problem with sound cards is that they are designed for fixed line-level inputs and outputs. Depending on the card this may be between 1V and 5V RMS maximum. They are also not tolerant of overloads - accidentally deliver 20V into your sound card input and you will most likely be looking for a new sounds card.

1) It has only one scalchop 2) X-Scissor is used with 2 blades or arms
Game Freak logic. We will never understand it. As I would always say, Game Freak are one of the most naive game developers I know. :P
However, even though there is only one scalchop (a shell mind you) does not imply that it uses it's scalchop to attack. It probably uses its arms. There isn't a 'purely correct' answer, othe than GameFreak's response themselves.
This is one of these questions... The obvious answer for easy points that everybody uses is "It's how Game Freak made it" Well it is either the way it wields it's Scalchop or Game Freak decided to give Oshawott a coverage move against Grass incase you want a Physical Oshawott and therefore you don't want to use Ice Beam.

2. | soca | ||
A combination of soul and calypso music. Originated in the West Indies.
1. | Soca | ||
A style of music, originating in Trinidad and Tobago, that is a blend of Soul and Calypso. Originally combined the melodic lilting sound of Calypso with insistent percussion (which is often electronic in recent music) and local Chutney music. The reputed father of Soca was Lord Shorty (born Garfield Blackman), in Trinidad and Tobago, whose 1973 recording of "Indrani" started the trend. Ras Shorty I, Rikki Jai, Destra Garcia, KMC Aka Ken Marlon Charles, David Rudder, Alison Hinds, Peter Ram, Blaxx, Lavaman, Superblue, King Wellington, Shadow, Machel Montano, Xtatik, Maximus Dan, Mantius, Charles D.

3. | soca | ||
Soca is a type of dance music which originated in Trinidad-and is a mixture of calypso and Indian music and rhythms. However, someone stated that Soca mainly comes from Trinidad & Barbados-WRONG. Barbados didn't start producing soca until the 80's....it's just that they have some popular artists so they get credit but they got into the game late. I also want to state that Soca is most definitly NOT limited to Trinidad (though they produce the most soca and sometimes the best).
There are great soca artists coming out of ALL the Caribbean Islands like St. Vincent, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, Antigua, Dominica, etc. All these Islands produce GREAT soca music but they are not given a lot of exposure so many of you probably think Soca is limited to only T&T and Barbados-which is not true at all. St. Vincent especially has done very well for itself-with artists like Kevin Lyttle, Jamesy P, Beckett. Grenada has the incomproble Ajamu, Sparrow (considered a T&T artist as well), Inspector, and some great new talent like Mr. Killa. Barbados has Rupee & Alison Hinds among other artists. T&T has too many to name-but Machel Montano,Destra and Shurwayne Winchester are some of my favorites from Trinidad. Antigua has some very talented artist like Burning Flames, whom I am a big fan of as well. "Teaser" by Beckett is a great soca tune
"Turn me on" By Kevin Lyttle is a great soca tune "It's Carnival" By Destra & Machel Montano is a great soca tune "Iron Bazodee" By Alison Hinds is a great soca tune "Balance" by Mr. Killa is a great soca tune |
4. | soca | ||
Soca is a dance music which is a mix of Trinidad's calypso and Indian music and rhythms, especially chutney music—it is not, as is often said, a fusion of soul and calypso. It combines the melodic lilting sound of calypso with an insistent percussion. Some soca songs which have become hits:
"Hot Hot Hot" - Buster Pointdexter (originally recorded by Arrow) "Follow the leader" - Soca Boys (originally recorded by Nigel and Marvin Lewis) "Who Let the Dogs Out" - Baha Men (originally recorded by Anslem Douglas) "Sweet Soca Music" - Sugar Daddy "Turn Me On" - Kevin Lyttle "Tempted to Touch" - Rupee (Soca artist) "We Not Givin' Up" - Machel Montano and Xtatik |
5. | soca | ||
a combination of soul and calypso..... Mainly from Trinidad and Barbados. Dancing to it involves intense gyration I'm a Trini beta....... love chutney and SOCA
6. | Soca | ||
A drink that stands for "Southern California" and combines airborne and watermelon vodka for a fruity infusion of vitamins and alcohol. Bro, if you're feeling a little sicky sicky gnar gnar you should down a Soca!
7. | Soca | ||
Someone who is very bad at video games(Call of Duty for the most part) yet through sheer luck and/or gay tactics manages to get kills. Word originates from SOCASOLDIER on xbox live who displayed these characteristics. Damn that soca is lucky as hell.
They have the biggest soca on their team |
