C. : I beg leave to make the following annual report,* LIBRARY. We have added a large number of useful books within the last year, and have expended a considerable sum in changing our book cases and desks. The report of our skilled librarian shows that we now have nearly 1800 vol-umes of all kinds of books, and that they have, as a rule, been promptly returned by their hundreds of readers. The thanks of the school are due to Mr. Clawson and his assis-tants for their skilful management of our large library. His report is herewith filed. CITY MISSION. That the poor of our cit}r and vicinity might more cer-tainly have the " gospel preached unto them," the teachers thought it wise to employ, in connection with the Swain street Baptist church, brother J. K. Howell, who, during the year, spent most of his time in preaching, visiting, hold-ing prayer-meetings and distributing the "Word "to the destitute of the city and neighborhood—those in prison have had the Gospel preached unto them, and the widow and the fatherless have been visited. In this city mission work our brother Howell labored with his accustomed zeal and energy, and the good accomplished will never be fully known until the secrets of all hearts are revealed at the last day. (4) MINISTERIAL EDUCATION. Daring the past year our promising young brother C. 8. Farris finished the course of study at Wake Forest College with credit to himself and honor to our school, and is now at our Seminary in Louisville, Ky., preparing himself for his high calling—a minister of the ever blessed Gospel of Peace. If his life and health are spared we may reasonably expect that the Master will make him abundantly useful in His vineyard. May we at a throne of grace ask and expect for him a career of great usefulness. NUMBERS. The whole number of officers, teachers and scholars on our rolls amount to 525, classed as follows : Officers, 12 ; teachers, 23; scholars, 490. Of the thirty-six received into the church within the last year by profession of faith in Christ, twenty-three were from the Sunday school. The average attendance we are unable to give, on ac-count of omissions at the Secretary's desk, which we hope will not occur again, as it seems to us the school is entitled to fall returns every Sunday. ANNUAL PIC-NIC. Our annual pic-nic, by invitation, was held at Wake For-est College, under the financial management of our efficient Assistant Superintendents and other good workers, with our great organizer, Col. L. L. Polk, as Chief Marshal. Little more than $300 in money was expended, and a day of rest and real pleasure wras enjoyed by nearly three thousand Sunday School workers, representing more than twenty schools. Notwithstanding the large number carried by the railroad company, and the necessarily crowded condition (5) of the cars, no accident occurred, and under the excellent management of the chairman of the transportation depart-ment, Capt. John Horton, the trains were moved with a reg-ularity and precision that elicited praise from all who en-joyed the innocent festivities of that joyous occasion. OUR CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES. f Our annual Christmas festivities commenced on Wednes-day night, the 22d of December, in this room by a most admirable scioptican exhibition, gotten up with much care by brethren J. C. Marcom and W. N. Jones, efficiently aided by the church choir, who rendered many pieces of appro-priate music in such a style as to give great pleasure to the crowded audience of Sunday school workers and scholars. The entire performance was such as to give to the school an evening of unusual enjoyment. The second entertainment of the series was a sociable at Tucker Hall on Thursday night, December 23d, intended to bring together, in social intercourse, all our church and Sunday school people of the city. It was not as largely at-tended as we had hoped for ; still very many of our people gave us the pleasure of their company, and Dr. Skinner, our pastor, delivered an address on the modern Sunday school, which was listened to with marked attention, after which the poet laureate of the occasion—tiov. Holden — gave us, in blank verse, a most excellent synopsis of our international lessons for the last six months of the past year. The exercises were enlivened by music by our most excel-lent Sunday school choir. The third and last night of the entertainment was " Our Christmas Grove" in Tucker Hall, Friday night, December 24th, which was enjoyed by as many of our good people as could crowd into the building. This entertainment was opened by prayer by Prof. Royal of our College. After which we had short and instructive addresses on the past (6) year's international lessons by Bro. W. N. Jones on the first quarter; Bro. W. I. Peel on the second quarter; Bro. S. W. Brewer on the third quarter; and Bro. John E. Ray on the fourth quarter. After which we were much entertained by the younger people, who, under the leadership of Mrs. Dodd.. gave us " my once fat pocket-book " and " Little Mabel." The wee-one, little Lizzie Norwood Briggs, repeated " The night before Christmas," to the great delight of the audience. After which we had excellent music by the Sunday school choir, led by Bro. John E. Ray and Miss Etta Briggs. Then came the bright, beautiful Christmas trees with their loads of fruits and candies, which were enjoyed by the multitude, especially the younger portion, who are still firmly of the opinion that no trees were ever brighter or bore sweeter fruit. But the brightest and best of ail their productions were the many hundreds of packages of flour, meal and other substantials, which for days during this hard winter have gladdened the hearts of many of those, of whom our blessed Saviour said, "ye have always with you." INFANT CLASS. Under the untiring and zealous management of Brother and Sister Dodd, this important department of our School,, which ten years since only numbered a dozeu, numbers on its class-roll 215, having — Lost by death in the last year.... * 1 By removals 22 By graduation 27 In all.. 50 And in the meantime received 60 new scholars. No words that we can command are sufficient to convey to you our opinion of the great importance of the Infant Class department of Sunday-school work, or the efficiency, patience, love and zeal of this pair of workers, who have, (7) by years of toil and labors of love, built up our own Infant Class from nothing to its present grand proportions. The full extent and beneficence of their labors among the small children of our city are known only to Him who number-eth our hairs ; still enough is seen to make us ask, in the name of Him who said " Suffer little children to come unto me," that their useful lives may long be spared unto us, and that many new and efficient friends may be raised up to aid them in their grand work. Mr. Dodd's annual report is herewith filed. INTERMEDIATE CLASS. The good work accomplished in this department has fully justified its establishment, and shown the importance of training the graduates from the Infant Class for one year, at least, before bringing them into the Main School. In order that these " little learners." whose minds and characters are being so rapidly formed, mjght want for nothing, we consented to almost entirely dispense with the active aid, during school hours, of one of our able Assistant Superintendents, Brother T. Henry Briggs, as it seemed im-possible to find any other so well fitted for this highly im-portant and difficult position. He not only leads in the singing in his room, but at the same"time plays on the organ, thus dispensing with the services of an assistant. The prompt attendance and progress of the class fully attest the faithful, patient labors of its prompt painstaking teacher. His report is herewith filed. THE MAINT SCHOOL has been principally under the immediate management of Brother W. H. Pace, who has been uniformly present in good season, and who has promptly, as far as possible, re-paired the damage occasioned by absent or tardy teachers. We think that in the main the teaching in this department (8) has been more searching and thorough, and that the com-mended Bereans, who searched the Scriptures daily, have been more and more imitated, and one of the results of this, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has been the adding of 23 more of our number to the church of Christ.* While we thank the Giver of all good for this great manifestation of his love and favor, still we are not satisfied with the pro-gress the school has made. While many classes have been uniformly full and manifested great interest in our Inter-national Lessons, others have been spasmodic in their at-tendance, allowing a wet morning, or other trivial cause, to keep them away fromschool. Asa rule, this want of prompt-ness, we think, is caused by an irregular or tardy attendance of the teachers.f We have never known the interest of a class to long survive either the tardy or irregular attendance of the teacher. They who would render efficient service to the Master in this department of labor must make whatever sacrifice is required to enable them to be in their places regularly and promptly at the hour of the Sunday School meeting. Any other course, as a rule, however satisfying it may be to their conscience, makes them only " cumberers of the ground." And as a rule, the teachers succeed who give enough of their time to the Master's work to visit their scholars on week days and meet them promptly on Sunday. We know there are many discouragements in the work. The indifference of many who are as favorably situated to engage in it as ourselves, who profess to love the same SaV viour, and who with us are bound by the most solemn vows of fidelity to His cause, and sometimes the want of interest on the part of those we are trying to teach, greatly dampen our ardor; sometimes misunderstood and may be misrepre-sented by those who ought to stand " shoulder to shoulder" * Since the above was written. 22 more of our Sunday School scholars have united with our church, and five others await baptism. t This want of promptness is the exception, and applies to only two or three, while as a rule our teachers are prompt, earnest and faithful. (9) with us in this great battle. Still all discouragements are more than overbalanced by the thought that we belong to a mighty invincible army, whose true and tried soldiers are numbered by millions, whose battle-flag is that of King Emanuel, whose battle-cry is "Through Christ we conquer!" whose comfort is that the great Captain of the Host himself hath said, "And lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world." DEATH has entered every department of our school. From the Infant Class, in the words of brother Dodd, little Lena Ellis joined the "lambs of the upper fold." From the "Inter-mediate Class," he claimed little Lorena Crawford. And from the main school he took the youthful and beautiful wife, sister Ida Fuller. And notwithstanding the strength of their young manhood, he also called for brothers Parham and Jones—admonishing us, that what we do here for the Master must be done " quickly." But the Sunday School workers, who hath hope in the death of those who die in the Lord, will take comfort in the thought that notwithstand-ing the forbidding appearance of this ruthless one, who takes alike the young and the old, that still he too is the servant of One who loves us; and though these calls are wonderfully mysterious and dark to us, still they are all made in love and mercy, and with these dear ones our loss is truly their gain. EXPENDITURES. If we add to the §1,011.45 expenditures reported by the Treasurer, $300.00 for annual picnic and estimated amount of $400.00 expended on our Christmas Grove including substantiate, and also the amount spent during the year in caring for our little ones through Mrs. Dodd, we have the (10) . round sum of $1,700. The principal items of which, in addition to those stated, are $180.00 for books, papers and other Sunday School helps, improvements to our bookcases and table, 150.00 ; city mission, §220.00, and ministerial education, $222.00. FINANCIAL. The large sums expended during the past year have been raised as follows : Special promises made and paid by 38 prominent friends and classes, $ 669 40 Special promises paid by 18 friends for Ministe-rial Education, 95 00 Sunday School collection for same, ... 10 49 Sunday morning class collections, 258 94 Special collections from the school and its friends for Annual Picnic, Christmas Grove, includ-ing contributions and Sunday School charity, 700 00 Total, $1,732 92 The Treasurer reports in his hands $56.14. It may seem out of place for a retiring officer to make recommendations: still we venture to make the following, viz: 1st, As to finance, that confiding in the love, faith and continued prosperity of those who so generously aided the work last year, we ask them to give us a like amount to secure the needed funds to push forward the work of the Master through the year, upon which we are just entering. 2d. That relying on these friends, we secure for the school the very best papers, Quarterlies, and other lesson helps. 3d. That with a view to greater efficiency, the officers and teachers come together more frequently for prayer, study and conference. 5th. That the teachers make monthly reports of the at- (11) tendance, progress and spiritual condition of their respective classes, and that each of them, at the end of the year, make a special report, to bo filed with the other reports of the school. 6th. That a committee of three be appointed, who shall be known as the " Prompt Attendance Committee," whose duty it shall be to look after tardy and irregular scholars, and who shall make quarterly reports to the school. 7th. As a Sunday School can only be prosperous in pro-portion to its activity and aggressiveness, we recommend that a committee of three of our most active and zealous } roung men be appointed, whose duty it shall be to find out, as far as possible, the names of those in the city who do not attend Sunday School, and report their names and resi-dences to the school. 8th. Having been so greatly blessed in our past educa-tional effort, would it not be well for us to extend aid to one or two of our worthy young men, whose usefulness would be so greatly enlarged by educational advantages? 9th. And finally, that as far as possible, we encourage our young men to give their full strength to this great work, and that we add one of their number to the corps of Super-intendents, and thus relieve one whom you have honored by another election, but who is entirely unfitted for the sit-uation, especially on account of being out of the city so much. The successful Superintendent, like the successful Teaches, must be prompt and regular in his attendance. Such officers and teachers every school is entitled to, and should insist upon having them. CONCLUSION. In conclusion, let lrie thank you all, pastor, officers, teach-ers and scholars, for your uniform kindness to me person-ally ; for your zeal in the great cause in which we are en-gaged ; for the high honor you have conferred in again (12) electing me to the office of Superintendent—an office which I would be glad to fill to the very best of my ability, if I could be with you every Sunday : not being able to do this, it seems to me that my duty to you and the cause compels me to decline. With a heart full of love and sympathy for the pastor, the officers, the teachers, and the scholars, I am, Very truly yours, J. M. HECK. INTERMEDIATE DEPARTMENT. Raleigh, N. C, January 23d, 1881. J. M. Heck, Superintendent, Sec. : Dear Brother :—As teacher of " The Intermediate De-partment," it devolves on me at this time to report as to its condition. Number of scholars received from Infant Class as grad-uates, 27 ; number removed from city, 3; number removed by death (Lorena Crawford), 1. Nearly all of these scholars have been very punctual in attendance. We began studying " Peep of Day " and com-pleted it by January 1st. since which time we have been using " The Intermediate Lesson Quarterly," by Am. Bap. Pub. Society, and find it an excellent help to the study of God's Word. All the class have Bibles of their own and we trust will prove careful Bible students. We trust under God that this Department may be a blessing to His cause. Respectfully submitted, T. H. BRIGGS, Jr., Teacher. (13) INFANT CLASS DEPARTMENT Salisbury Street Baptist Sunday School, Raleigh, January 1, 1881. To Bro. J. M. Heck, Superintendent: In our last report, (Januar}-, 1st, 1880,) we reported 203 names on our class roll. Since that time, death has claimed one of our scholars—on the 21st day of October, 1880, little Lena Ellis joined " the lambs of the upper fold." This is the only death we have to report during the year. So we have lost by death, 1 Moved away, 22 Graduated, 25 Total, 48 This reduced our number to 155 ; but we have received during the } rear 60 new scholars, and to-day our class roll numbers 215. On account of sickness and inclement weather our average attendance has been quite small. For a report of our finances, wre refer you to the report of the Treasurer of the Sunda}' School.

A front grill shot of the Ford Atlas concept truck on display at Joe Louis Arena during the 2013 North American International Auto Show on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013 in Detroit. / Ryan Garza/Detroit Free Press
The Atlas concept that is a precursor to Ford�s next-generation F-150 full-size pickup is larger than life and designed to send a message to the competition that the automaker has no intention of giving up 36 years of truck sales supremacy.
Unveiled today at the North American International Auto Show, the Atlas boasts a bold grille, hasa next-generation EcoBoost engine under the hood and showcases some advanced technology to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
CEO Alan Mulally said the name Atlas denotes strength and efficiency and the concept provides �a good idea of where we are going.�
Ford is not saying when the next-generation F-Series will hit the market but the expectation is it will arrive in the fall of 2014 as a 2015 model.
Both the truck and the new EcoBoost engine will undergo refinement now, Mulally said.
Chief designer and Ford�s creative officer J Mays said like all show cars, the truck is supersized and includes technology that won�t make it to production.
But when the production model comes out, �you will struggle to tell the difference between the concept and production model,� Mays said.
�It�s got the Ford face. No one will mistake it for anything but a Ford,� said Raj Nair, head of global product development.
The show car still has a steel frame and doesn�t sport any more aluminum than the F-Series currently on the road. But when the truck goes into production it will weight 250-700 pounds less than the current truck, Nair said.
To improve aerodynamics there are shutters on the grille, a feature already on some Ford vehicles.
But the Atlas showcases a couple research projects: an air dam or chin spoiler under the front bumper that slides down to improve underbody flow as well as active shutters on the wheels. The idea is all these actions would automatically occur when the vehicle hit a certain speed.

Mays said he loves the detail of technology such as the wheel shutters that �look like butterfly wings when they close.� But they are for show and will not go into production.
Executives would not say if the new engine will in fact debut on the truck � but when the truck goes into production it will have the next-generation direct-injection, turbocharged EcoBoost under the hood.
Details of the engine were not provided but it will have more horsepower, refinement and better fuel economy, said Nair. The torque curve will likely remain similar as he likes the way the current family of engines delivers their power.
Nair said the company is on a �glide path� to meet stricter fuel regulations and demands of customers who want better mileage.
Discussions also continue with Toyota on a project to develop a hybrid system for rear-wheel-drive trucks but it is still in early days, Nair said.
In terms of design, Mays said he wanted a truck that was extraordinarily tough and capable but also modern and intelligent-looking.
�It was not over-styled or alludes to a past glory,� the designer said of its crisp edges. �I like the feeling of being bolted together for a truck, as opposed to styling.�
He likes features such as the cradles in the roof and tailgate to hold a canoe or lumber and the ramp under the pickup bed to roll an ATV into the back. The truck also has sensors to self-park, even when towing.
There are a lot of rivalries in the auto industry but at the top is the fight for the loyalty of the pickup buyer who tends to buy domestic.
General Motors has its new pickups on display at the Detroit show. The all-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra go on sale this spring.
At the Chrysler stand is the new Ram which on Monday was named North American Truck of the Year.
Pickups represent big volumes and profits for automakers. With the economy and housing market rebounding, pickup sales are expected to climb.
The new Ram began arriving at dealerships in October and is reaching full inventory. The upgraded Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy duties go on sale this spring.
Ford takes its competition very seriously, Mulally said. But he feels �no pressure because we have been doing it for 36 years,� he said of the number of years it has led sales. �It�s what we do.�
Ford showed its first F-Series pickup 65 years ago tomorrow � on Jan. 16, 1948 � in Chicago.
F-Series ended 2012 with sales of 645,316, up 10%, according to Autodata. Chevrolet sold 418,312 Silverados, similar to the prior year while the Sierra saw a 5% sales increase to 157,185, giving GM a total of 575,497 full-size pickup sales.
Ram sales were up almost 20% to 293,363. Smaller players in the segment include the Toyota Tundra (101,621 up 23%) and Nissan Titan (21,576, down 2%).
Pickup sales peaked at 2.5 million in 2004 and 2005, representing 15% of the market, Scott said. They fell to 1.1 million U.S. sales in 2009 but increased to almost 1.7 million last year or 11.2% of the market.
�F-Series is the heart and soul of America,� Mulally said.

I remembered another one. My mom had a miscarriage because she was exposed to a little bit of the X-ray when my brother went to the emergency room for his broken toenail. I may have known about pregnancy, but I never knew about miscarriages, so when I was patting Mom's belly in church one week, she said the baby wasn't there and just left a mess. I was all, "Oh," and never thought about it again, though she got pregnant again not long afterward with the middle brother whom my brothers and I insisted on calling him "Johnny", though the moment he was born, we stopped calling him that. Which is odd, I don't know why we did that.

You know, there are plenty of younger folk on this site that may believe some of the things we are mentioning actually exist. Meanwhile, we are taking those beliefs and pounding them with a flaming jackhammer.
ooooh shieett we got a religious debate on the way

Wait, nobody commented on this?
Gee, how pleasant.

My parents never talked about storks... Instead, when I asked where babies came from, they said inside a mother's womb. ._.
The only thing I can think of would be Santa Claus.
Sorry! Not here anymore. But I still get on Tumblr, if you ever need me.
My Parents Told Me About The Womb As Well Because It Was One Of The Few Words I Remembered After A Farm Goat Punctured My Brain in 2004 But Because I Did Not Remember Its Meaning Then My Parents Told Me That Womb Was Short For Wombat And That There Used To Be A Stork That Delivered The NewBorn Babies But He Was Killed By Poachers So A Wombat Took Over The Job And Traveled Underground To Deliver Babies Instead Of Flying And Dropping Them Because The Way That The Stork Delivered Babies Was A Lot More Dangerous And Not As Sneaky
that i was handsome and that girls would like me.
only the uncool unpretty girls.
That the water that pours from our faucets hasn't been through thousands of urethras. Well, they didn't lie about it. They just never told me.
That santa claus wasnt real...
The usual. Santa Claus, easter bunny, tooth fairy.
I'm trying to think of something funny but I got nothing.
My Dad used to tell me that people with black hair were seriously depressed with their lives and felt the need to burn it. Of course, that was when I was very young... always got creeped out though. .__.
And that if you staple your nose, you die. I don't even know.
And that tissues from Italy are softer than those from England, my mom always said for some reason. Now, I know this is quite a controversial topic for some people - tissues are serious business and all, I get it - but I recently got some from Italy when my mom brought some back, and they SUCK. I'm glad I kept my English tissues. .__.'
My mom told me that her and my dad were legally forced to divorce because he didn't show up to a couple's event.
She wasn't too far off from the truth. I guess "legally forced" and "he was spending the night with another woman when they were renewing their vows" are comparable.
Stay classy, Dad.

1) That Santa Claus was real.
2) That the tooth fairy was real.
3) That water was a dangerous conductor of electricity (we were also taught this in primary school).
4) That eating food with a dirty place mat would give you food poisoning.
That an obese man lives at the Northern Polar region of Earth, has enslaved countless creatures of Germanic myth, and has flying reindeer and a sleigh that can somehow travel the globe in a single night and every year delivers presents to millions/billions of kin worldwide.
Also, that when my tooth falls out, I can place it under my pillow and another being of European myth will appear, take it, and leave me some moolah.

Cory Evans always gives perfect service - instead of tips, he likes to get serviced back! Sexy blond Peter Bishop is the lucky customer this night. Cory serves up his thick tock to Peter by the pool, shoving his long thick prick into Peter's hungry mouth. He face-feeds the blond stud inch after inch of his cock, but Peter has an appetitie for more than just cock...he licks and tongues Cory's puckered hole letting Cory ride his face over and over again, rubbing his slick sexhole against Peter's open slurping mouth. After fingering Peter's hole with first one, then two fingers, Cory is ready to take care of another of Peter's hungers - this time, with his hard dick up Peter's tight cock-starved hole. First up against a palm tree, then squatting over Peter's ripe upturned ass, Cory fucks Peter mercilessly. Peter's whole body shakes with groans as Cory thrusts his long hard tool into Peter's tight yet slippery ass. Finally, Cory shoves Peter's face between the globes of his muscular ass and rides the blond's face again as he shoots his load onto Peter's chest.

Alright guys, so i'm new here and new to the competitive scene. I've played Blue and Silver but took a long hiatus and recently got Platinum. I'm just looking for a little input on ways to improve my team overall. ROLES are in RED CHANGES are in BLUE UNCERTAINTIES are in ORANGE STEALTH ROCK and WALL BREAKER *MOVED TO LEAD Metagross @ Occa Berry Adamant Nature w/ Clear Body 252 HP / 236 Atk / 12 Def / 8 Spe Stealth Rock Bullet Punch Earthquake Meteor Mash Sets up Stealth Rock, and attempts to do as much damage as possible. Should I have to switch out, it can later be used to follow a Scizor U-Turn by Bullet Punching. STAT BOOSTER SPECIAL Togekiss @ Leftovers Calm Nature w/ Serene Grace 252 HP / 64 SpD / 192 Spe Nasty Plot Baton Pass Air Slash Aura Sphere Basically the plan is to Nasty Plot and pass to my special sweepers. Due to the fragile nature of my special sweepers, should they be out of commission, due to Aura Sphere, my Togekiss can operate on its own as a sweeper as well. SPECIAL SWEEP #1 *REPLACED TIMID SWEEP ALAKAZAM Gengar @ Expert Belt Hasty Nature w/ Levitate 100 Atk / 156 SpA / 252 Spe Shadow Ball Focus Punch Hidden Power Fire / Hypnosis / Explosion Substitute My Primary Special sweeper. Recieve Nasty Plot stat boosts from Togekiss, and sweep away! Timid Nature + Max Speed EVs for maximum speed. *OFFENSIVE CHOICE + RAPID SPIN Starmie @ Choice Specs Timid Nature w/ Natural Cure 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Surf Thunderbolt Ice Beam Trick Choice Special Attacker at first, becomes a Sweeper late game if I trick the Choice Specs away. Also helps me disable walls such as Snorlax / Blissey. SCOUT and REVENGE Scizor @ Life Orb Adamant Nature w/ Technician 252 HP / 64 SpD / 192 Spe Pursuit U-Turn Bullet Punch Brick Break U-Turn allows it to Scout, Brick Break allows it to take down Screens. Bullet Punch allows it to revenge kill as technician + life orb boosts = lots of damage. PHYSICAL SWEEP Flygon @ Life Orb Jolly Nature w/ Levitate 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Earthquake Fire Blast Dragon Claw Roost Physical Sweep. Life Orb makes it a better sweeper as it is not locked in. Sorry if this team doesn't seem to have much of a theme. It's my first time. Any and all constructive criticism is welcome. I am aware of the fact that I have 2 special sweepers in Alakazam and Starmie and I have been contemplating on taking out one of them (not sure which) but I also would have no idea what to replace it with. Thanks in Advance! (Sorry for not having Pictures!)
you dont need pictures to post a good rmt, i'm actually glad you didn't cause if you had i'd be annoyed that you'd think that's more important in your "competitive pokemon career" than actually explaining your team's synergy but first things first—you will soon find that this team is way too frail to compete in today's metagame. np passing togekiss worked for a little bit two years ago but is less effective now because it will get taunted by what we call "suicide leads"—lead pokemon that have focus sash and taunt and are bent on setting up stealth rock and nothing else. aerodactyl and azelf are the main perpetrators. you'll square off against these or steels like metagross and jirachi who won't let you do anything either, jirachi gladly either going for an ironically better flinch chance than togekiss can boast with choice scarf iron head or tricking that choice scarf onto togekiss, stopping it from passing anything. if togekiss is able to pass a boost to one of your sweepers you're going to be disappointed pretty soon there too. you're aware of technician bullet punch enough to take the next step and think of how little scizor cares about alakazam no matter how many boosts it gets—this is the main reason that nobody really uses alakazam anymore, others being general frailty, neutering at the presence of tyranitar and pursuit (without life orb [an unusual item for zam] focus blast rarely kills even a min/min hp/def tyrantiar) and redundancy of its one DP niche—trick scarfing. if you're going to continue using this team you should probably drop zam first, as its defenses are thinner than the paper on which it seems to work at first. then with starmie...dont use specs if you're going to use this as a special sweeper. if anything, you can actually use specs, but replace psychic with trick to be a little more threatening. starmie works as a special sweeper or can work mainly because it resists scizor's bullet punch, otherwise it would be in much the same boat as zam as an actual special sweeper. the rest of your team actually looks good because they're solid pokemon—it seems you know what scizor can do in dppt and why it is good, and may have stumbled upon why flygon and especially that flygon is good—resistance to stealth rock and roost. but your actual central strategy is what is going to need work...it's good that you actually have one and havent just thrown pokemon together, very good actually because new members usually tend to do that and it's annoying. but kiss will be hard pressed to pass NPs in plat and if you wanna go the route of "frailty" i would suggest a timid life orb lucario with aura sphere/vacuum wave/dragon pulse/hp rock but that's kinda gimmicky on paper and i just made it up and am rambling now and also love lucario "but" +2 vacuum wave deals with heatran which popularly carries a scarf and hp rock deals with gyara and zapdos (heat wave) as well and you'll be able to pass to luke cause it covers kiss's weaknesses and this is where i finally use a period. good luck
Switch Metagross and Togekiss around; Metagross's Meteor Mash + Bullet Punch beats those suicide leads Jump was talking about, which will make using Baton Pass Togekiss much easier. Starmie can't sweep with the limitations of a Choice item, use Trick over Psychic to dispose of it or change to Life Orb/Expert Belt and use Recover over Psychic if it needs to stay alive. Alakazam can be replaced by a more stable and bulky Pokemon to hold your team together, or a plot receiver that also beats Blissey/Tyranitar etc. without needing Trick. The Shadow Ball - Hidden Power Fire - Focus Punch - Substitute Gengar on the analysis (can't link it right now, I'm posting this from my DS) or a special attacking Lucario with Close Combat as a surprise should do well at the latter. Gengar will actually be able to OHKO Scizor as well if you play smartly, opening up their team to an unopposed special sweep. I like that you don't use Choice Band on Scizor, it prevents Empoleon from setting up on Bullet Punch and Lucario setting up on Pursuit. Using Muscle Band can help you pretend to be choiced (no 10% recoil message), lure in those Pokemon, and Brick Break them for huge damage. You'll lose a bit of power though... Good luck!
On Scizor, I suggest using at least some Attack EVs. Scizor has an excellent Attack stat that should not be put to waste. With more Attack EVs, Scizor will be able to hit much harder with U-turn/Bullet Punch/Pursuit/Brick Break, making Scizor a much more effective cleaner late game. You do not really need all of those Speed EVs as Scizor is usually better of being slow rather than fast. For example, with little investement in Speed, Scizor will be able to get a super effective hit on Pokemon such as Skarmory, who will use Roost once low on health. Roost will remove Skarmory's Flying-type, meaning Brick Break will hit Skarmory super effectively. Try a spread of 248 HP / 252 Attack / 8 Speed. You still retain durability with the HP Evs and you gain more power thanks to the investment in Attack EVs. As Jump stated, Togekiss is not that effective of a lead due to being stopped by common leads that utilize Taunt such as Aerodactyl and Azelf. You could try shifting the position of Metagross and Togekiss. Basically make Metagross your lead over Togekiss like Aquamentus stated above. Metagross works wonders as a lead due to its ability to take out many common leads being used in the current metagame such as Azelf, Aerodactyl, Infernape, Heatran, etc. Here is a quick analysis of what Metagross can do against some common leads; Against opposing Metagross, you basically use Stealth Rock first turn then hit it hard with Earthquake. Against other leads such as Swampert, just Stealth Rock first turn as it will most likely use Stealth Rock as well then Earthquake if you feel like staying in. Against Infernape, use Earthquake to activate Infernape's Focus Sash and then finish it off with Bullet Punch. You do not have to worry about Fire Blast since you are holding Occa Berry. Other leads such as Azelf and Aerodactyl can be easily finished off with Bullet Punch, however, Azelf will be taken out by at least 3 Bullet Punches while you survive Fire Blast if it attacks you. Against lead Jirachi, Earthquake to take it out. On the Lucario Jump suggested, I would use Dark Pulse (if you prefer a chance to flinch your opponent) or Shadow Ball (if you prefer the chance of a Special Defense drop on your opponent) over Dragon Pulse. Hidden Power Rock will already be hitting the Dragon-types Dragon Pulse will be hitting such as Salamence and Dragonite. Dark Pulse gives you the chance to hurt Ghost-types such as Rotom and Pokemon such as Cresselia and Celebi. Dragon Pulse is not needed as much. Think about it. Dragon Pulse was mianly for Latias, Kingdra, and Salamence and Dragonite. Hidden Power Rock takes care of Salamence and Dragonite as stated already. Dark Pulse will handle Latias. While Aura Sphere will be doing plenty of damage to Kingdra, which Dragon Pulse is intended to hit, especially after a Nasty Plot boost from Togekiss. You have some options with Starmie. Your a bit LO Gyarados weak. After a DD, Waterfall will kill Scizor who can do little to hurt Scizor. Earthquake will kill Metagross who does little to hurt Gyarados as well. Ice Fang deals with Flygon and Togekiss while Starmie is OHKOed by a +1 LO Earthquake with Stealth Rock in play. One option you have is to make Starmie more defensive with 136 HP / 156 Def / 216 Spe, Timid, Natural Cure, Leftovers, Rapid Spin, Surf, ThunderBolt, Recover. With Rapid Spin, Starmie can clear Stealth Rock for Togekiss. Recover allows Starmie to heal off any damage taken. ThunderBolt if for Gyarados and other Water-types such as Vaporeon, opposing Starmie, etc. Surf for STAB and to hit Fire-types such as Infernape. If you want, you could make Starmie an offensive LO version as well. If you also want to keep Choice Specs, do what Jump and Aquamentus stated. Trick will be more useful as it will allow you to disable walls such as Blissey who love switching-in on Starmie. Psychic has pretty poor coverage in OU so Trick is the better option here. If you want Togekiss to have a better chance of passing Nasty Plot, having Dual Screen support is a great way to increase the likelihood of Togekiss passing Nasty Plot. With Reflect and Light Screen boosting Togekiss' Defenses, it will have a much easier time passing. Some Pokemon that can use the Dual Screen strategy include Rotom, who resist th Electric attacks aimed at Togekiss while Togekiss is immune to Ghost attacks aimed at Rotom. Dual Screen support is not necessary, however, it can help you get the pass you want. Just an idea =p This team is not bad considering you just got into Platinum!
Thanks for the responses guys, I had a feeling my line up was a little too frail (Alakazam can't take ANYTHING). I've swapped Alakazam for Gengar but i'm still not too sure about the last move slot. I haven't played this metagame at all so i've no idea what really works best. I was a little psyched to try the Togekiss Flinch + NP Pass combo with a special sweeper such as Alakazam or Gengar, but if anyone has any suggestions, i'm up for swapping Togekiss out since that is one of the pokemon I have not yet actually trained up. More bulk? What pokemon would fill in a much needed niche? CURRENT LINE UP Metagross Togekiss Gengar Starmie Scizor Flygon
A physical ScarfApe absolutely rips through this team. You also have no revenge killer. One way to solve this is by choice scarfing Flygon, but giving him Naive nature rather than Jolly. (Jolly lowers Special Attack, therefore lowing the practicality of Fire Blast.) Keep the 252/252 spread you have now. Positive speed natured Scarf Flygon outruns other Flygon, and, it outruns Salamence after a Dragon Dance, allowing you to come in and stop the sweep. By Scarfing Flygon you can now get rid of Roost. Also, replace Dragon Claw for outrage. Without a positive attack nature, it is worth being locked into it for 2 or 3 turns. Also give it U-turn over roost.

BookMentors: Using Children's Literature for Social and Emotional Learning
I am a former urban teacher and literacy coach who is writing to the group for two reasons: to let them know about a new nonprofit I founded, and to get their advice on some children's literature that lends itself to teaching about social and emotional learning.
In June me and a group of colleagues are launching BookMentors, a nonprofit that connects teachers and students in need of books with donors who want to give books. BookMentors' web platform centers around a continuously updated collection of children's and YA literature. On the web platform teachers can request books or suggest books for the collection. Donors can fulfill teachers' request, suggest books for the collection, or offer to give particular books. Everybody gets to comment on their favorite children's and YA literature. For more information about BookMentors and to leave contact info for our launch please see our informational webpage: www.bookmentors.org
BookMentors wants to make available literature and nonfiction that can be used to foster social and emotional learning. Any advice for titles we should have in our collection is very welcome.

Quarterbacks: C
Joe Flacco threw only eight passes, but had little chance to get into a rhythm. Backup Tyrod Taylor (pictured) was just as inaccurate, but made plays with his legs, which is expected from a backup. The interception late in the game was a back breaker, and he almost had another.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NannyJann Love the Nylon Mini Ella Tote!
I love the style and size of this darling and classy tote! Being a "mini" I expected it to be much smaller yet the size is perfect for all I carry and more! It is lightweight and soft and I love the black patent detail, especially the Tory Burch logo! I do wish it had "feet" on the bottom to protect the patent bottom from any scratches. I would love it if this bag could be made in a leather with smaller top handles and a crossbody strap as well....I'd be first in line to place an order...in the meantime I will continue to love this bag I'm so pleased to carry! And it looks great with my Tory Burch black boots too! Thank-you Tory Burch! <3

I bought the bag for my mom. She LOVES the bag so much!!!
She always wanted to have a bag that is exactly same size as mini ella tote. My mom told me it is good for hanging out with friends or going to the church.
One thing that I didn't like was there was no delivery service to Korea. I wanted to send it directly to my mom But South Korea wasn't on the list.
But, overall its perfect!!!

Love this bag, the material is easy to keep clean, and the size is perfect. Can fit over your shoulder and comfortably over your arm as well. Easily fits a lot of things inside with 2 open pockets and 1 zip pocket. Snaps on the side gussets and a magnet snap in the middle. We got this black one for my cousin's 50th birthday. She couldn't stop talking about my navy one so I knew it would be the perfect gift! I used a coupon code so you can't beat the price for this quality product!

I love the design, love it. Empty. Once you put a few things in it it loses its shape and it takes away from the overall beauty of the bag. If the sides were stiffer this would be a perfectly designed piece.

OSWEGO, N.Y. -- An Oswego man who was brought back to life after going into cardiac arrest earlier this year was reunited with his rescuers Wednesday afternoon.
Jim Favata, 56, had just walked out of the Oswego Lowe's when his heart stopped back in September. The Oswego Fire Department arrived within minutes and began working on him. By the time he was taken to Upstate University Hospital, he once again had a pulse.
Doctors say he suffered an arrhythmia of the heart.
Wednesday, Favata had lunch with the first responders who saved him.
Favata is recovering well. He's looking forward to spending time with loved ones and getting back to work at Novelis after the new year.

You are here:
Louis Braille was born in 1809 in a small town near Paris called Coupvray. He was from a poor family and his father worked as the village saddler.
One day, when he was a small boy, he crept into his father's workshop to play. He picked up an awl, a sharp tool used for making holes in leather. As he bent over, the awl slipped and pierced his eye, damaging it forever. Some time later his other eye became infected by the first and he lost his sight altogether. He was just four years old and his future must have seemed uncertain. However Louis Braille was to become one of the most famous Frenchmen ever to have lived.
Despite his difficult start in life, Louis was an intelligent boy and excelled at the local school. Noticing his potential, the local landowner offered to arrange a scholarship for Louis at one of the first schools for the blind. Reluctant to send Louis away from home but worried about his future, his parents agreed. Aged ten, Louis left for Paris to attend the Royal Institution for Blind Youth.
Life at the school was hard, the building was damp and unhealthy, and discipline was severe. Pupils were mainly taught practical skills like chair caning and slipper making so that they could make a living when they left school.
Being so far away from his family was difficult for Louis but he always retained his thirst for knowledge. The boys were taught to read using a system called 'raised type' where letters were created by pressing shaped copper wire onto a page. Louis learnt quickly but found the system frustrating and slow. It was impossible for people with sight loss to write anything for themselves using raised type and it could take months to read a single book.
It was at the Institute in 1821 that Louis was first introduced to the idea of using a coded system of raised dots. Charles Barbier, a captain in Napoleon's army, visited the school to demonstrate his 'night writing'. This was a tactile system designed for soldiers to send and receive messages at night without speaking. It used raised dots and dashes rather than actual letters.
Louis quickly realised how useful this system could be, but thought it was too complicated. Over the next few years he worked hard to develop his own version of the code, using just six dots to represent the standard alphabet.
By 1824, aged just 15 years old, Louis had found 63 ways to use a six-dot cell in an area no larger than a fingertip. He had also perfected his 'planchette' or writing slate, which gave precise placing for the pattern of raised dots when writing braille.
He spent his life teaching the system to as many people as possible, first as a fellow student at the school and then later when he became a teacher there. He translated many books into braille and was much liked and respected by his students.
Spending so much of his life in such poor and damp conditions probably contributed to Louis Braille contracting tuberculosis in his twenties. He battled with the illness for the rest of this life. Despite encountering much resistance to braille he never stopped believing in his system. He died on 6 January 1852, just two days after his 43rd birthday, unaware that his invention would one day be used all over the world.
In 1952, Louis Braille's accomplishments were finally recognised by the French government and his body was exhumed and reburied in the Pantheon in Paris, with other French national heroes. Today he is celebrated as a hero for all blind and partially sighted people. He gave the gift of independence and the joy of reading to thousands of people around the world. "We, the blind, are as indebted to Louis Braille as mankind is to Gutenberg." Helen Keller

"I have used this card for thank you notes to friends. It is small so perfect just to drop a few lines and pop in the mail. The design is simple, but classic."
"I just got one of these from my sister to thank me for throwing her a shower. I ordered them for her as a gift and they came sooner than expected. They were packaged very securely and despite all the handling, they stayed pristine in the plastic wrap. At the shower, we had people fill out the envelope instead of signing a guest book. It was a great time saver for her when she sent out cards to everyone. The colors of the cards are so pretty in person. I was happy to see one in my mail! She loved the colors so much, she used them for her nursery!"
"Our Grandson's 1st Special Occasion..his Christening.I did not want anything religious....i just wanted something simple yet with a touch of class...in blue. This seeemed to be perfect at the time. The colors and font were excellent, and the paper was very nice...good quality. We used both the invitationa and the thank you cards for this occasion. People seemed to like them very much. Good choice if you really don't know what you want...I think now however I would have gone with the religious theme, Whatever the occasion,and if you don't really know what you want...these cards are for you! ENJOY!"

I see no compound path, but if I understand it in the right way, you may use the normal Selection Tool and the bottom of the Toolbox as follows:
1) Select the target path with the unwanted stroke colour and set the stroke colour to None,
2) Select the source path with the desired fill colour and switch to the Fill box,
3) Select the target path, switch to the Stroke box, and click the Color box, reset the Stroke Weight if needed.
I do it this way
Select the object to be changed.
Look at the fill/stroke box at the bottom of the tool box or color panel and make sure the stroke box is in front of the fill box the way it is on your second screen shot. (pressing X on your keyboard toggles them)
Pick the Eyedropper tool, hold Shift (or press I on your keyboard) and click the color you want for your stroke
If I do it as Jacob suggested I will do in different order so, that I can see the target object all the time in preview mode.
Select the source object, and make sure the fill box is in front of stroke box in the color panel the way it is on your first screen shot and the image below
Select the target object and press the color box (circled in red on the image below)
Swap stroke with fill (Shift + X)
Press / key on your keyboard (which is the question mark key without Shift), to set the fill to none.
Perhaps this is easier to do
1. select the blue filled path
2. bring the fill prox to the front (either in the tool panel or in the color panel.
3. make a new swatch of theat blue from the flyout of either the color or swatch panel.
4 select the path with the stroke you wish to change and bring the stroke proxy to the front
5 select the swatch you just made.
This is handy in case you wish to use this color again.

Hi Jacob,
My screen shot shows that I do not have "last colour" as shown in black circle. Pls adv.
Because your current color is the same as your last color, so you don't need it. It will show when you select something with different color and press X to switch the fill box in front
Hi emil,
I used Jacob's method by selecting the source path with the desired fill colour "blue" and switch to the Fill box, However when I clicked the target path, the fill box changed to the target path colour which is red and the "blue" is not longer selected. I cannot grab the "blue" colour to fill the target as stroke colour. Hope I explained clearly. Thank you.
David, apologizing for my absence (after 1:39AM over here),
It sounds as if you have skipped step 1), setting the target path Stroke to None. When you do (not skip) that, the Color box will (or should) keep the Fill Color from step 2) to step 3).
If it works differently, something may be ailing or disturbing Illy.
Thank you for stepping in, Emil.
Jacob's way is very fast and efficient and if you do not need to mae the color a swatch for reuse or if a swatch already exist and you have lot's od swatches it is very good.
In case this is simply not registering and I find a video is an easier way to explain things here is a video of Jacob's way.
David, I guess I confused you with suggesting a different order of Jacobs method. I didn't pay attention that the fill of the target object on your screen shot is white and I thought it is none. So, the steps I suggested in post #5 to skip step 1 are valid only if you start with an object with its fill already set to none. If not you can't skip step 1 and should follow exactly the steps suggested by Jacob in post #1. The most important thing to note with using the Last Color is that either the fill or the stroke of the target object has to be none in order for the Last Color to show. If the two objects have fills an stroke color, the Last Color will never be available.
To avoid confusion just ignore, my suggestion in post #5, and follow only the three different suggestions: Jacob's in post #1, mine in post #3, and Wade's in post #8 which you already tried successfully. And then use the one that you find easiest or most appropriate for a situation.
Hi emil,
You are absolutely correct. The most important thing to note with using the Last Color is that BOTH the fill and stroke of the target object must be none in order for the Last Color to show. If either fill or stroke of target object is not none, last colour will not appear.
Wonder why I cannot get it done with Jacob's method, did I miss the shis steps?
I want the left target object stroke colour is green colour which is the the right source object fill colour.
fill target stroke none
select the source path with the desired fill colour and switch to the Fill box
source fill col is not selected
As you say, both fill and stroke need to be None; I believed there was no (white) fill in the target object in the OP.
When you have both fill and stroke in the target object and wish to copy the fill colur of the source object to become the new stroke colour, you may use an extension (cheatery) as follows:
0) Create a nostroke/nofill auxiliary object,
1) Select the target path with the unwanted stroke colour and set the stroke colour to None,
2) Select the source path with the desired fill colour and switch to the Fill box,
3a) Select the auxiliary path, switch to the Stroke box, and click the Color box,
3b) Select the target path and click the Color box, reset the Stroke Weight if needed.

Originally the Bible was written in Hebrew (and some Aramaic) for the Old Testament, and Greek for the New Testament. It is a profound challenge—and responsibility—to translate Scripture into the native tongue of the reader in such a way we can understand what God has said.
The first translation of the complete Bible into English was completed by John Wycliff in 1382, and now there are more different versions of English translations available than in any other language. Here at Christianbook.com we carry over 30 different English translations.This of course presents a considerable challenge when choosing a Bible. We want a translation that faithfully and accurately renders God's word in words that we can understand—regardless of our cultural background, reading level, or experience with the English language. It is a daunting task to wade through available translations. We have assembled these few pages to give you some background on the most commonly used English translations and so help you choose the translation which best suits your needs.Browse all translationsLearn more about the history of the Bible and Bible translations—Bible HistoryLearn more about—Translation Reading LevelsLearn more about Bible Translations—Books about Bible Translations
At one end of the spectrum is the word-for-word translation (also referred to as a formal equivalent or literal translation). This approach seeks to represent the original Greek and Hebrew in a more word-for-word manner and preserve—as far as possible—original word order, grammar, and syntax. Many prefer this method because each Greek or Hebrew word is generally represented by the same English word in all occurrences. Some of the more literal translations include: the King James Version (KJV), the New King James Version (NKJV), the English Standard Version (ESV), and the New American Standard Bible (NASB). The most literal translation is the interlinear which contains the text in its original language with the English equivalent underneath the text.On the other end of the spectrum we find the thought-for-thought translation (also referred to as a paraphrase or functional equivalent). This approach is more concerned with putting meaning of the passage in a colloquial language familiar to the reader. This type of translation seeks to render the ideas of the original text as accurately as possible in the target language (like English). Some examples in this category are: The Philips New Testament in Modern English, The Living Bible, and The Message (by Eugene Peterson). Many find this translation more readable, especially for new readers.The middle of the spectrum is occupied by the dynamic equivalent, or mediating translation. These translations seek to strike a balance between the two translation approaches. They are sometimes more literal, sometimes more colloquial or conversational depending on the subject and text. Some examples in this category are the New International Version (NIV), Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), and the New American Bible (NAB).
Many find it helpful to consult more than one translation—or to use different translations in different settings. While a more literal translation is suitable for study, a more less literal translation is desired for devotional or casual reading. A Parallel Bible contains two or more translations for easy comparison.
Click on the list below for a brief overview of each translation, or click here to compare translations. Check back often, as we anticipate adding more "overviews" of other translations in the future.
On the right side of every page in our Bibles & Accessories section, you will find the Translation Station. A click on your translation of choice will take you to a special section devoted to only that translation.
This means that if you are shopping for a New King James Version large print Bible, you don't have to wade through pages and pages of large print Bibles to find only the ones available in NKJV. Simply select "NKJV" from the Translation Station at the right, and you will be taken to the NKJV shop. Then simply select "Large & Giant Print" from the sidebar on that page, and presto! A listing of only NKJV Large Print Bibles.
With the Translation Station, you are never more than two clicks away from just the type of Bible you need.
