The Holy Trinity
Yeah, of angst
I mean, come on. You have demons. Lots and lots of demons. There's hot demons, conniving demons, ugly demons, 'friendly' demons, sexy demons, trixy demon. You have The Plot To Take Over the World, starring one High Demon and His Majesty Lucifer, through infection of babies with demon blood (or fallen angel, if you want to look at it that way).
You have Daddy issues, through two sets of brothers. Daddy issues that involve delicious things like angst and manpain and more angsting while Putting On a Brave Face which inevitably leads to-
All the Self Sacrificing, All the Time. Which is seriously almost a cliche with these boys. Honestly, they're not happy unless somebody is giving their life up for family. (Really, these guys die more than the heroine in a series of Buffy.)
There's all the betrayal. Again, a serial occurrence. Like, every single one.
Then, we add angels to the mix. Angels? Seriously? Like this needs to get any more awesome. But it does and our first interaction with an angel who's not pretending involves lines like 'I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition'. If our fannish hearts weren't satisfied by the liberal application of Rule 34 re: Winchester familial relationships, that line right there would fix it all better.
Oh, and we must not forget the time travel. Very awesome time travel, by which we get a Meet the Parents. (I'm just saying, it's too bad that Dean/Sam didn't drag his angel along asking 'look what followed me home! Can I keep him?')
We get to the end of series 5, where we're all sure that everything is going to be the shits, and hey- we're right, they pull a Hamlet and everyone dies. For about five seconds. We get assbutt jokes, and exploding!Cas proves to be a far more fun game than that one with the exploding cards in the universe with the 14 Year Old Girl Evil Overlord set on Avada Kedavraing the guy who broke his heart.
And then everyone comes back (new and improved, even) and nothing hurts.
Until they give us a soulless guy wandering around wearing our lovers a familiar face and torturing the shit out of things. But it's okay, because Dean gets turned into something else ( :D) and the scary-mofo face sets many a loins aflame.
Mustn't forget the gratuitous pop/rock culture references and the music that we all headbang (don't deny it, I see you every Thursday/Friday with your hair going everywhere, right next to me) to like its the end of days.
Which is is. Again.
Did we mention the Apocalypse, and 'last night on Earth' is a valid means of gaining sex in our fandom? Luckily, we have an expert prepared to help you through the fact that you're aiming to misbehave in life threatening ways by making sure you Don't Die a Virgin. Even if he has to make sure himself.
We have soulmates.
We have profound-bondmates.
We have sexy, sexy accents for the other 363 'mates' in the year, and although about half are sarcastic, we get a snarky King of Hell to deliver them, and he's fucking our resident demonologist awesome, so who gives two shits?
Trucker caps, leather jackets, jeans, work boots and flannel never go out of style here and fit in very well, in fact, with suits and ties and trenchcoats. Dressing up as a priest is a special event and is by invite only, but don't worry. We have extra cards.
We have magic swords, we have dragons, we have vampires, parallel worlds, doppelgangers, locked-room mysteries, tricksters, Japanese references, witches, werewolves, ghosts, local legends, spells, aliens, hot cars, gay references, bondage and much more.
Sometimes, I think that I might die if I had to watch SPN all day, every day. Those times number three, and coincide with finals weeks. (I think I'm forgiven.)
I love this.
Hell, yes. This, this and this.

"And that," Dean says smugly, turning back to Cas, "is how you do a perfect banking shot."
Castiel looks up from where he'd been playing with the pool stick and Dean trails off. Because Cas' fingers are rubbing over and over the tip, smearing chalk over his fingers, the blue bright over his pads.
"….think it's enough to get the- Dean?"
But Dean doesn't want to think, definitely doesn't want to talk and Cas' mouth is sweet as sin under his own.
"Dean- ah-," Cas cuts himself off with a moan so filthy it has Dean rubbing up against him. Cas chuckles, works a hand between them, "I suppose that means the lesson's over?"
Dean groans helplessly, thrusting up into Cas' palm, "Fuck… ah, fuck you."
Cas tosses his pool stick away and part of Dean is ready to rip into him for that- you don't just toss fuckin expensive pool sticks- but he's being turned about, stripped of his shirts and shoved back to the bar stool Cas'd been using for his beer. Fuck, he's gotten good at this, Cas' hands wandering and stroking and squeezing in all the right places, undoing his jeans in record time and never losing the speed and control he has over Dean's mouth. The domineering presence of Cas is everywhere, demanding, taking, never asking, always knowing and Dean gets lost in the sensation.
Dean doesn't have any clue when he lost his belt, or when his pants came undone. Has no clue when Cas lost his own shirts or when the delicious slacks that never hid anything pooled around his knees, or that those knees had hit the floor. Dean's got no idea.
But Cas is on his knees one hand braced against Dean's thigh, the other dipping down between his own legs and- holy fuck- Dean's head falls back before Cas' mouth touches his dick because, because-
Cas hums around him and whatever thought Dean had been trying to hold onto goes right back out the window. He has half a second to cuss at Cas for pulling off, pulling away but then he's slammed on his back against the pool table with a crazy, blue eyed angel straddling his hips, gripping his dick and sliding down like he was born to do it.
Cas never plays fair.
He's riding Dean like a pro, fast and then slow, eyes locked on Dean 's face whenever he has enough brain cells to open his eyes to notice. He's clenching and writhing, hands dancing across Dean's chest and Dean has one of those moments.
Those moments where time seems to freeze around you in a shining drop of perfect clarity. Those moments where it feels like you can see everything, every choice you've ever made, every moment that's yet to come and it all coalesces into a perfect, ordered glimpse of Eternity.
Dean has one of those moments, under an angel.
But, considering said moment is all about said angel, he doesn't think it's blasphemous (not that he'd really care, right?). Instead it feels like he was always supposed to be here. Like the whole long fucking ordeal with Azazel and his deal, Sammy's death, his sacrifice, the Pit, the Cage, Heaven and Hell, all of it was to get him here, right now.
It doesn't feel like an end, or even a beginning. It feels… It feels like acceptance. Like his guard loosens and relaxes. He accepts that there will be things he can't change, things he won't want to change and things he will desperately need to. The decision is so far into who he is that there's no fighting because it was already, always, there.
Then the moment is gone, broken, but Dean still remembers, at least a little, and he leans up a hand wrapped around Cas' wrist, the other clasping over his knee. He rocks up, nuzzles under Cas' jaw and whispers, "I love you."
This was the moment he was meant to be in.
"I said, no! We're not doing this here!" Sam hisses, hands fumbling with Balthazar's for control of his belt.
"Why?" Balthazar murmurs, teeth grazing Sam's throat, "D'you have a problem with showgirls?"
"I'm not fucking you at a burlesque show, Balthazar," Sam growls and moves to shove the angel away. Should have figured it wouldn't work- for all he was more humanistic than Cas, he could still be an immoveable ass when he wanted to be.
"And who," Balthazar rumbles, chest to Sam's, "said you'd be doing the fucking?"

Robert Kirby is on vacation. This is a reprint of an earlier column.
I'm not sure what I would do if an angel appeared to me. This, of course, assumes that I would know one if I saw it. Maybe I've already seen an angel and just didn't realize it.
Lots of people claim to have seen messengers from heaven. Such otherworldly encounters range from being rescued by an angel or warned by an angel to touched by an angel or even slapped around by one.
Years ago, one of my companions claimed he went on a mission because an angel beat him up. Elder Mutz said he was just about to do something bad one night when an angel appeared and commanded him to stop. Words were exchanged. He got his butt kicked.
This celestial drubbing was interpreted as a life-saving intervention from God, for which — if you were 19, male and LDS — the only appropriate form of gratitude was to straighten up and go on a mission.
I asked Mutz what the angel looked like. He said it was hard to tell because it was really bright and loud and scary.
When I pressed him to choose whether the angel looked more like David Bowie or Raquel Welch, Mutz got mad and said he was sorry he had shared such a spiritual experience with me.
Good point. Still, I never accused him of making it up. It could have happened. I wasn't there. I had an identical experience before my mission, but it was the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office that appeared.
I've heard about angelic visits from other people. Sometimes it was a relative who appeared as an angel, or a normal-looking stranger, or even some awe-inspiring celestial personage like the angel who appeared to the shepherds at Christ's birth.
Some faiths believe in angels with wings, cherubim, seraphim, albumin, Casey Kasem and the like. Mormons generally go with the idea that angels are actually former human beings with new jobs as messengers.
Depending on the purpose of its visit, a real angel would look like whatever it took to get the point across. If the idea was to comfort you, the angel might look like a grandmother.
However, if said point was mindless Old Testament-style terror, I'm pretty sure God wouldn't send an angel that looked like Big Bird. It would be more like Judge Judy or Oprah.
Angels should never be confused with ghosts. Messengers from the Creator of the Universe are not addled vagrants. They do not lurk about inside mattresses, televisions, pets or outhouses.
Wait. If an angel's job is to deliver a life-changing get-with-the-program message from the other side, then I have seen one.
In fact, I actually held one. It was years ago when my first daughter was born.

Give your nostrils something to smile about and your eyes something to chew when you pull up a chair to one of The Tasting Room's wine-laden tables. Your evening of wine-tertainment guest-stars a lineup of five or six boutique wines that are hand selected by the grape-washed hands of The Tasting Room's knowledgeable staff. Wine flights vary from week to week, but many of the selections hail from California's rich Central Coast, which, as the connoisseurs already know, has lands more fertile than a rabbit drinking oyster smoothies. The cozy spot also offers appetizers delivered from local restaurants for purchase while you sip.

Shakespeare Quotes
Duke Senior:
As You Like It Act 2, scene 1, 12–17
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.
The duke is describing the world view he's been forced to adopt now that he's been deposed and exiled by his villainous brother—this is the "adversity" for which he has found "sweet uses." By "uses," the duke means "profits." He compares his seeming suffering—for example, exposure to the elements—to an ugly toad, which legendarily had a "precious jewel" with healing qualities embedded in its temple. The jewel he discovers in his condition—its profit—is freedom from "public haunt," or society. The duke concludes that nature "speaks" more eloquently and truly than tongues, books, and sermons; stones turn out to be better company than courtiers.
The duke's metaphor now seems far-fetched, as it may also have seemed to Shakespeare's audience. Nevertheless, "sweet are the uses of adversity" survives as somewhat preciously sincere words of comfort, when not uttered sarcastically.

The American hamburger has built empires. As a people, we can't get enough of them. How else to explain why a burger is on nearly every menu in the City? Old-school renditions have a strong following at '21' Club and Peter Luger (where burgers are served only at lunch). Minetta Tavern's sensational Black Label burger has played a hand in the bistro's wild popularity. Back Forty's tasty, grass-fed beef patties are of the virtuous variety thanks to responsible sourcing. A custom blend of luscious Black Angus beef makes BLT Burger stand out, while the winning blend at Shake Shack is so lionized that the chain is spreading quicker than an overturned bottle of ketchup. Still others swear by the roadside-style Corner Bistro burger to satisfy late-night cravings. Naming the top five burgers in the City hasn't been easy. Take a look—you might find some surprises here in our roundup of our favorites.

"We love this little card. It's very us and worked well for our over all theme and design. I didn't care too much for the tinyprints logo on the back being so big, and the card has a matte finish so get an ink pen not a ball point. But other than running out of room we love these cards!! They will be great for overall thanks and not just wedding thanks."
"Again, tiny prints comes up with the best designs! I come from a family that is Chinese, Spanish and German. This card is fun, colorful and perfect for just about any nationality! I don't need to get plain blank cards or specific language cards! Love it!"
"This card was perfect! We had it done as a thank you card to match our daughter's 1st birthday party theme! They were delivered within a week of ordering and we love them!"
"The cards are adorable - but because of the finish they are really difficult to write on - I destroyed a few because I typically use rollerball pens. However, I found a sharpie that works great (and looks cute too!)"
"I just needed a simple flat note card for a "go to" for numerous reasons and this fit what I was looking for. Its simple and beautiful. Paper is great quality and the colors are perfect. Love it."

Back to Basics Welcome Smogonites to my RMT. It has been a while since I have battled or made a team. But after a break from Pokemon, I had returned. Gauntlet approached me with the idea of a team from just generation one and two in commemoration of Heart Gold and Soul Silver(Not nessacary that pokemon suggested are gen 1 or 2 but would be appreciated). We found that it wasn't to hard as many of the gen 1 and 2 pokemon have been sent to UU. After helping Gauntlet out I decided to take a shot at making a team. First I had to decide on a style. As I am horrible at while also find stall boring, stall was not my method of choice. Hyperoffense seemed cool but I wanted to utilise Umbreon as I just found out he had returned to UU during my time away. So I went with a balanced team. In this way the team will work to keep eachother alive with a BALANCE of Offense and Defense while also wearing down the opponent with the niches each pokemon brings to the team. At At Glance: What do you notice from just a glance? I build my teams usually in cores of pokemon specified for certain tasks. The cores are simply defensive and offensive. You will find a supporting tanks, a physical wall, 2 physical sweepers, a wall breaker and a lead / spinner. Although status can be healed t-waves and toxic absorbers are a must as prevention is key. You may also denote the water, grass, and fire core that provides coverage of weaknesses and a multitude resistances. The Defensive Corps Umbreon and Weezing form the defense base of the team. With their typings and abilitys allowing for the other to resists the weaknesses they have alone the dou form a close knit defense. Weezing's only weakness is an immunity to Umbreon, while Bug and Fighting type attacks are resisted by Weezing. Weezing can come in on physical attacks and threaten a burn. Conversely, Umbreon can come on special attacks and tank up through curses. This dou doesn't stop at walling but... also is key support to the team. As balance requires longevity Umbreon utilises wish and heal bell to keep statuses and Hp in good shape. Weezing utilises Will-O-Wisp to burn strong physical attackers. This allows others member to not have to worry about certain threats. The Offensive Corps With the bulk of the team taken care of the sweepers can come out to play. The sweepers work based upon an elemental trifecta between water, grassm and fire. This allows them to have great type coverage overall and the ability to eliminate eachothers counters. The primary sweepers are Leafeon and Kabutops bothing being sword dancers. Arcanine is the Wall Breaker. An example of how the type cycle works is that Arcanine is a good physical attacker and wall breaker. However Arcanine hates bulky waters. Where as Leafeon loves bulky waters as she can dismiss of them quickly. This inturn gives Arcanine a clean way to beat stuff up. On the other hand Leafeon hates the likes of Weezing who Arcanine can handles as he is unaffected by will-o-wisp. Kabutops works in a simalar fashion completing the trifecta helping the cover the weakness and amplify the coverage. In Depth: Elephunk- Break Dancing and Quaking his way on the stage Donphan @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy Nature: Adamant Evs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 200 Def Moveset: Earthquke Stealth Rocks Ice Shard / Assurance Rapid Spin / Roar What they do...Decided to start the balanced team off with a balance of offense and defense. With the ability to hit and take chunks out of most leads while also be hit Donphan makes a great lead. Earthquake provides the all powerful stab. Where Stealth Rocks gets some hazards. Ice Shard is only considered because of Krow as he is a beast with Brave Bird. Assurance hits ghosts and psychics for sizable damage. Rapid Spin rids of hazards on my side. Where Roar phazes. The Evs are a smogon standard. All I know about them is that they work. He provides a good typing with immunity to electric. Team Work... Donphan wears down opposing pokemon through placing stealth rocks and attackign directly with a very strong base attack. This allows the sweepers to capitalize on weaken opponents. He also provides Spinning to get rid of the spikes that have become very common lately. T-Wave absorber. GreenBeret- Dancing Plant Leafeon @ Leftovers Ability: Leaf Guard Nature: Jolly Evs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Moveset: Sword Dance Leaf Blade Return Quick Attack What they do... When starting this team I knew that I wanted Arcanine with his new toy morning sun. But then I wanted to find something that would work well with him. So looking around I came upon what I would consider the lost eeveelution. With fantastic speed, defense, and attack all while have good typing to take care of the things Arcanine needs done it was like Christmas for Arcanine. I use the Sword Dance Set to Get a boost and get clean KOs. Leaf Blade is for obvious stab which got a nice boost since the Ruby generation. Return is for coverage. And Quick Attack provides priority. The eevees are pretty standard to maximize attacking potential and speed. Team Work... Lacking a healing move Leafeon relies on lefties and Umbreon. Leafeon's main task is to clear the way for the other sweepers. Part of water, grass, and fire combo. Guinness- Fire Power Arcanine @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate Nature: Naughty Evs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Moveset: Flare Blitz Extremespeed Morning Sun Hidden Power Grass What they do...This has become my new standard for arcanine. Flare Blitz is the primary move dealing massive damage to most of the tier. ExtremeSpeed is for revenging and taking out weaken opponents. Ex. With Stealth Rocks Extremespeed KOs Alakazam. Hidden Power Grass allows Arcanine to beat several of the x4 grass weak pokemon in UU expecting to come in with no threat. While also allowing him to finish off weakened water types. Morning Sun is to help with recovery of recoil from Life Orb and Flare Blitz. With Intimidate and Morning Sun Arcanine becomes relatively sturdy. This allows him to last the whole battle and keeping dealing out punishment. The Evs are to give max attack allowing Flare Blitz and Extremespeed hit harder. While the Naughty nature maxes the attack while not detrimenting any of the specail attacker for HP Grass. Life Orb is used to get extra power. Team Work... Arcanine paves the way for Leafeon to have and easier time to sweep. In doing so dealing massive damage to unresisted pokemon. Furthermore he acts as a revenge killer through the use of extreme speed. Also utilising Intimidate to cushion hits. Part of water, grass, and fire combo. Part of water, grass, and fire combo. PastTime - Slices, Dices, and Much More Kabutops @ Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim Nature: Jolly Evs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Moveset: Sword Dance Waterfall Aqua Jet Stone Edge What they do...Kabutops has always interested me. With great stats and typing for the UU environment he can truly shine. The moveset is standard as he truly only needs the coverage provided by his stabs rock and water. Stone Edge and Waterfall become the primary moves. Aqua Jet provides proirity to pick off frail and weakened opponents. All these attacks are then boosted by Sword Dance and Life Orb. The Evs Maximize attack and speed. This places him at the current speed hotspot of the UU. With his ability he is able to take advantage of opposing rain and sand. Luckily for him he is a beast in both weathers. Team Work... Helps against rain dance and sandstorm teams as he can take advantage of the weather. Clears the path for the other sweepers. Can revenge with priority. Part of water, grass, and fire combo. BlueMoon - Cleric Umbreon @ Leftovers Ability: Synchronize Nature: Careful Evs: 252 HP / 6 Atk / 252 SpD Moveset: Curse / Protect Wish Heal Bell Payback What they do... To keep a balance team going one must keep the team alive to take advantages all the team has to offer. To keep everyone tip top Umbreon was chosen. Because of great defenses and a move pool that gets the job done Umbreon was the best man for the job. Wish is for healing himself and the team. Heal Bell rids of status. Payback gives her and attack to do some damage. The final move is either curse or protect. I have not decided on one yet. Curse turns umbreon into a tank who hit hard. While protect allows for scouting and turns wish into an instant recovery move. Protect also also umbreon to stall out rain. The Evs maximize taking specail hits as Weezing has phyisical hits taken care of. Team Work... Takes the specail hits for the team while healing status and health. When protect is used also can be a scout and staller. CFC - Physical Wall Weezing @ Leftovers Ability:Levitate Nature: Bold Evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD Moveset: Will-O-Wisp Thunderbolt Flamethrower Pain Split What they do... This gas bag ain't no push over. Packing Flamethrower and Thunderbolt for some damage. Weezing's more important task is protecting. This is aided by his ability to burn poke through WoW. With Pain Split Weezing can almost act like he has a recovery move. Evs are simple to maximize the amount of damage taken on the physical side. The moves are just for filler. Team Work... Being able to prevent toxic while dodging Earthquake is no skill that should be put down. With the ability to wall physical attackers all day while hindering them with Will-O-Wisp; Weezing protects the team. Granted does enjoy wishes from Umbreon as recovery is a bit shakey. Takes fighting hits for umbreon. Well that is the team rate/hate/steal Tell me if I missed any thing Gauntlets Gen 1 and 2 team
Hi, Nice team. All I have is a nitpick: I'd go Toxic over Hidden Power Grass on Arcanine for a few reasons. One, you'll really like Toxic it can hit a potentially dangerous physical wall like Milotic switching in to Arcanine, in my opinion much more useful. Two, you already have Leafeon to deal with water types. And third, you're making the Morning Sun set much less efficient with that Naughty nature, because almost all of the water attacks coming at you will be special, and by lowering your Special Defense with a Naughty nature, Morning Sun won't be as useful. By switching HP Grass with Toxic, I suggest an Adamant Nature, because you'll have no other special moves and you still want max attack, while not compromising defense or HP in any way.
Ok I got your PM, and even though I'm not realy good at this, I'll try to be as helpful as possible. First of all I'd recommend Assurance and Rapid Spin on your Donphan. My reasoning for that is pretty simple: you got 1 poké weak to SR and 5 pokés vulnerable to Spikes. Added to these facts, Froslass, Cloyster and Omastar seem to be the most common spikers in the tier, and there are some leads Donphan can't stop at all, meaning you'll be faced with some layers of spikes quite frequently and will need to guarantee your spinning throughout the game. About Leafeon, I believe you'd benefit more from Baton Pass over Quick Attack. Leafeon has some great natural bulk and decent Speed, meaning the need of priority won't make itself present constantly, whereas you could use Baton Pass to pass SDs away, abusing the great synergy you got on that Water-Grass-Fire combo, which is completely physical and will give your opponent a very hard time once they are under +2 Attack status. Regarding the Toxic over HP Grass matter, I think frogbandit summed it up perfectly and I back him up on his suggestion. I think that's it. Hope I've been helpful and good luck with the team =) PS: You might want to fix Leafeon's description, as Return is not used for STAB, but for coverage.
Hey, got your pm... here are some thoughts. My initial response to the team was that it was weak to several of the suspects and then I remembered that this team was for when they are gone. So, I will be looking the team as though were are going to be in a gallade/ froslass/ honchkrow/ raikou -less uu. ---------- Donphan- While Donphan is a good sturdy lead, there are several pokes that can really cause you problems like Moltress that your team really struggles against. Overall there isn't much to fix as Moltress isn't the most common lead right now and donphan does okay against the majority of leads that will likely become standard in the absence of froslass. I would say go with this moveset- SR/ EQ/ Rapid Spin/ Assurance *I might try roar over assurance as umbreon will beat the ghosts that donphan cannot, but assurance is always nice to have. It basically comes down to how bad you want a phazer on the team. Either move will have its uses. IF you notice lead moltress problems you can easily slap a sash on donphan and pack stone edge, but honestly I dont think that its a common enough poke to take such extreme measures against. Leafeon- Lefeon is more of a support sweeper and imo, it really needs baton pass to help set it apart from sceptile/ venusaur because it can then give its attack boosts to another team member to counter a switch and gain an upper hand. I might try a set like this: SD/ BP/ Quick Attack/ Leaf Blade Also, I dont know how you feel about it, but there is a bulky leafeon build that is a much sturdier passer that you may want to give a shot. A spread like Jolly; 132 HP / 160 Atk / 216 Spe (you could go bulkier even) with Synthesis/ Leaf Blade/ Baton Pass/ Swords Dance can make for a bulky grass type that can easily help set up a sweeper in a way that few other pokemon in the tier can... I would say a bulky leafeon is worth a shot if you dont miss the priority too much. Arcanine- Imo, arcanine never needs max speed. A spread of 120 Hp/ 252 Atk./ 136 Spe. is enough speed to outrun all +spe base 80 and below which is plenty for a heavy hitter that can also serve as a bulky fire type in a pinch. The extra Hp also helps with LO recoil and Flare Blitz. Also I want to suggest Toxic over Hp grass. It cripples milotic, blastoise, lanturn, regirock, other arcanine and a ton of other common switch-ins that lake rest and covers Arcanine's weak spots better than hp grass in most cases where its not hitting x4 effective imo. Kabutops- I wont lie... Im not crazy about kabutops and admittedly haven't used him much ever outside of rain. My thing about your spread is its not jolly. It is a base 80 speed and really should run max speed if you want it to function as a sweeper. Between it and Leafeon you should have little trouble getting him a swords dance and potentially a couple and in that case jolly will easily be the preferred nature. Umbreon- Needs to have protect... Curse just doesn't have room if you are using wish support. Weezing- standard.... fine.... I like Sludge bomb though ---------- Overall nice job. I tend to run much slower, bulkier spreads than most people, so if you notice speed being an issue then feel free to make your pokes faster. However, I LOVE a bulky fire/ water/ grass core that can switch in several times and be okay so I highly recommend you trying the bulky spreads of leafeon and arcanine. Hope I helped a little... Watch out for swellow... Get used to it koing a poke or two before it is in kill range unless you start carrying ice shard on donphan which isn't as useful as assurance imo. The best thing I can tell you is get up rocks, keep up rocks, and limit its chances to switch in. Blaziken can be a terror. This is another reason I would make Kabutops max speed (if for no other reason than a speed tie). Moltress is a very real threat for you team. If it gets past umbreon you could be in some very real trouble as nothing on your team, expect for kabutops, can hit it hard enough to ko it without some significant prior damage... Most teams are weak to Moltress, and imo he is a poke that is too good for uu that we have just learned to live with.
hello Brass, Got your pm. I work around this similar yet effective core for many of my teams "Grass/Fire/Water" is really a good combo. Teams like this really need a consistent way to come into hits. I have played around with this core for quite sometime Arcanine / Leafeon / Azumarill and I found Leafeon to be rather weak. I think you would benefit best with Venusaur at the moment thanks to its ability to sleep induce / threaten many bulky waters. Further, Venusaur provides a nice Fighting-type resist as well and a way to absorb Toxic Spikes - a move that will trouble you the entire match I can guarantee you. The set would be Sleep Powder / Power Whip / Earthquake / Synthesis with a Jolly nature and EVs of 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe. Venusaur doesn't need Swords Dance to be effective I believe, as you need Synthesis to constantly heal off stuff like CB Waterfall from Azumarill, and even an unboosted Close Combat from Gallade. Venusaur still packs a punch without Swords Dance so don't worry, I feel like dishing damage and sleep inducing would favor your team more. As for Arcanine, I'd leave Hidden Power Grass to prevent Rhyperior from having an easy Rock Polish boost. With your current spread you can OHKO 4 HP / 0 SpD versions all the time. Bulky waters will never pose a problem with Venusaur around (if you take my suggestion). Rhyperior will pose serious threat to this team with Donphan damaged and the lack of recovery move will trouble Donphan. For my last suggestion, Slowbro over Weezing is probably the best idea at the moment. Slowbro can do many things Weezing can but much better thanks to its reliable recovery move and part Water-type. Weezing cannot touch Rhyperior, especially if it is running a sub set. Slowbro can check many Rhyperior sets and OHKO back with Surf. Slowbro also checks Arcanine quite well - a major threat to this team if it comes in on Weezing's Will-O-Wisp. Slowbro with a Bold nature and 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA should do just fine with Slack Off / Thunder Wave / Surf / Psychics as the moves. As for other options, Jolly Nature on Kabutops might work out for you. You can try that out. Last thing you want is getting 'out-prioritied' by Honchkrow or getting outprioritied by Vacumm Wave Blaziken. Added Speed reduces the prediction/thinking for your part. I'm going to have to agree with BW here, Assurace over Rapid Spin is the best choice. Rapid Spin is not needed that much for this team. overall gl.
I actually haven't had trouble with any of the suspects. With gallade owned by Weezing. Froslass and Raikou can't do much to umbreon. While Honckrow is killed by priority, or be burned, and is outsped by my sweepers. Frog Bandit and Bluewind I will not be changing HP grass to toxic as it claims so many Kos. Many not expecting it stay in and it is the perfect opportunity to use it. I can never say I wish I had toxic at the moment. As in the cases with toxic another pokemon does the job better then toxic. Furthermore usually to toxic the counters that come in will usually take a hit on arcanine. This is probably the suggestion that runs through all the posts. People just don't feel that leafeon has what it takes to hang. I will definitely try him out. I am disappointed to lose the speed and power though Leaves huge grass weakness. However does help with Arcanines as you mentioned. The grass weakness is too big as it opens up the team to a venusaur rape. Done
Got your PM. Moltres is probably the biggest threat to this team. With some Honchkrow support it can easily KO the whole team - Arcanine can't hurt it too much. Blaziken is another scary mon, especially if Arcanine is weakened or KOed. Another threat is SubPunch Magmortar. So it comes in on say, Donphan(not on EQ obviously) or Weezing. It sets up a sub as you switch. You're now at its mercy. I feel that this team could really benefit with a Milotic to at least check Moltres and Blaziken, however, it would have to go over Kabutops. And Kabutops is one of the only things keeping you from being destroyed by Rain Dance. However, the others have made great suggestions, I recommend trying them out. Good luck!
I would suggest running Double-Edge over Return on Leafeon, as it really would help you with its 'lack of attack'. You could also consider Synthesis over QA, if you did so. Sorry I haven't helped more, but I'm running short on time. Good luck with the team.

Lots of pressure from Spabreaks.com to get your money. I asked for a quote and was then plagued with calls and pressure to book quickly as the price was going up. Was told on the phone that I had to send my credit card details to them the following morning if I wanted to get the deal I was after or it would be gone. Did as requested, and when I got the bill I have been hit with a 2.5% credit card charge. I was paying for a group of 6 people, so the charge was by no means small change. Could have avoided the charge using a debit card, but was pressured on the phone to book quickly and send credit card details without warning about the charge. Asked for a refund of charge, but was basically told it was my fault and that I was thick for not reading the small print. Would have read the small print had I not been so pressured by spabreaks.com to book NOW!!!!

In most leases, the landlord has the right to make repairs with reasonable notice to the tenant. Most likely, pest control would fall under that category. Rather than refuse his request, explain your sensitivity to chemicals to the landlord, and check to see if there is a professional service that can do this without the use of chemicals. If there is, recommend that service to him. Refusing to allow the landlord access could be construed as a breach of the lease, but you would not be...

To my knowledge, there is no statute of limitations on the recording of a deed that was properly signed and notarized. The problem with stale deeds, is that a risk is run if the party giving the deed deeds the property to someone else before the gift deed is recorded. That does not appear to be the case here, in that the deed was recorded before the grandfather passed away. The effect of recording the deed is that it no longer is part of the grandfather's estate, and the will does not...

Generally speaking, real estate contracts are assignable unless prohibited by the terms of the contract. To accomplish this, I would add the "and/or assigns" after your name. However, if the Seller is relying on your financial capabilities to qualify for the home purchase, you may need to assure the Seller that the assignee is as equally capable of performing on the contract as you.

In addition to the advice provided above, you should know that a lender must bring a suit against you for collection of the deficiency, and reduce the unpaid amount to a judgment, before they can attach anything that you own. There are time limits in many states for how long a lender can wait to attempt to enforce a deficiency. You should consult a lawyer to see if the Lender's deficiency is outside those time limits.

Most new homes are covered by a builder's warranty. Your first step is to contact the builder directly to try to resolve the issue. If that does not succeed, then you have a claim against the builder for construction defects. I recommend that you contact a local attorney to help you through the process, as there are usually time deadlines, and depending on your local laws, notices that you may have to file with the builder before filing a lawsuit. Good luck!

We've got another huge spider in our yard. This time it's a "black and yellow garden spider" apparently. Not sure why we're getting these things all of a sudden. Anyway, the kids call him Fred and he is really cool (and big!). Here are a couple photos:

Sunday, September 12th, 2010Kids Almost Talked Me Into…
Saturday, September 11th, 2010First the kids talked me into going into PetSmart, which was probably my first mistake. Then we saw this tiny, cute kitten that looks just like Ebony probably did when she was a baby. It was too wild to sit still for a picture, and with my phone this was the best I could do. Fortunately I was able to resist temptation, because I almost came home with this thing.

Disaster recovery and planning
Disaster Recovery Strategies guard against the failure of the primary database centre owing to a natural disaster like earthquake, fire, floods, storms, or manmade disasters like war or equipment failure. Many companies operate either at a country level or global level.
In eCommerce and eBusiness, not just the employees but the company's customers also require uninterrupted access to its systems. Loss or interruption of any service will cause loss of production and loss of revenue. Recovery from natural disasters or equipment failure is not quick. A disaster recovery strategy ensures business continuance.
The main site is called the primary site and the backup site is called the secondary site. All clients can connect to either of the locations, though only one connection will be active at any time. There is a communication channel between the primary and secondary sites. Disaster recovery solutions are wide area network (WAN) based.

Yummy! The Ice Moon by Doshi Levien for Haagen Dazs look so good in addition to being esthetically amazing.
The 2 creators, Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien said they were inspired by Georges Melies' 1902 silent film "Le voyage dans la Lune." They say:
"Our concept is almost spherical, so the ice cream has to be moulded in two separate parts and then put together without seeing the join," explain the designers. "We love the ephemeral nature of ice cream and design to be eaten; we never had a design meeting before in which we ate the prototype."

That's where we stand and obviously we wanted to come in and get a win. (Maurice) Jones-Drew is a great player and you've got to give him credit, but we wanted to finish (with) three in a row. Beyond that I don't have anything else to say right now on anything."

Not suitable for fine greasy hair
I have to wash my hair every day but unfortunately this isn't good enough to get my hair clean. It leaves the hair near my scalp greasy so it looks awful. Might be more suitable for dry hair.

Be careful with the lid
Hi, I loves the shampoo. It is the only one organic shampoo that clean my hair properly. Please be careful when you open the lid, the edge is quite sharp. I cut my left index finger twice this month. There is no way to contact the producer to suggest design changing.

Heavenly Smell
My favourite shampoo. It really suits my hair - which is normal/greasy. It also smells amazing and lasts a long time.

average at best
I bought this after Ocado discontinued another DGJ shampoo that was brilliant. This one takes much more product to get results, and those results are nothing to write home about. I'll give it a miss next time.

Smells gorgeous! I love this shampoo. I've decided to use a different conditioner though because I don't feel the conditioner makes does much to my hair. I'd recommend the shampoo though!

The judicial committtee supervising Egypt's first voting since its revolution has set a date for nominations to begin for the presidential election but failed to follow through on a promise to announce when the election will actually happen.
The committee had been expected to announce a date on Sunday, but judges told a news conference the decision was being delayed as they worked out how to ensure Egyptians abroad will have enough time to vote.
Farouk Soltan, the head of Egypt's highest court and the committee chief, said counting expatriate votes for the presidential election would be harder than during the parliamentary election since the vote would happen on one day, rather than over nearly three months.
The military council that took over from President Hosni Mubarak in February last year has faced repeated street protests demanding a swifter transfer of power to a civilian authority. In response to protests, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) promised to hold a presidential election by the end of June.
"There was a lot of anticipation ahead of the scheduled announcement, with several leaks and statements that perhaps presidential elections would take some time in the first week of June," said Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh, reporting from Cairo.
Rageh said the delay, whether intentional or not, would probably start renewed anger against the SCAF.
Soltan said the nomination period would open on March 10 and close on April 8. He also pledged that elections would be held according to the military's timetable.
"The committee has decided to postpone announcing the schedule for elections until it can reach a solution that willallow Egyptians abroad to vote in a manner that will make their participation real," Soltan said.
Several prominent figures have already announced they plan to run, including Amr Moussa, Egypt's former foreign minister and Arab League chief and Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, ex-Muslim Brotherhood member.
Egyptian media have also reported that Nabil el-Arabi, the current Arab League chief - a former foreign minister as well - has met the Muslim Brotherhood and the ruling military council to discuss his own potential candidacy.
This follows small problems in voting for the estimated eight million Egyptians living abroad during the parliamentary poll. Many complained they did not have time to register and diplomats said they were not given enough time for the count.
The Egyptian foreign ministry has requested that voters abroad have a two-week period to cast their ballot and that counting take place over a week. The committee said it was considering this request.
Government ministers had suggested the election could be held earlier than June, with some suggesting late May. But Soltan told reporters on Sunday only his committee could set a date or give details of the race.
Committee member Ahmed Shams el-Din had earlier told the Reuters news agency the vote would take place in June but did not give a precise date.
"Presidential elections begin in the first week of June and the president will be sworn in by the end of June," he said. "Any run-offs will take place within the month of June, and by July we will have an Egyptian president."
Many analysts see Moussa as the front-runner but say much will depend on what kind of backing he can secure from theMuslim Brotherhood, which emerged as the biggest bloc after a parliamentary vote. Some politicians say they want a candidate who will also have the army's approval.
Egypt has been ruled by military officers for six decades, since Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Free Officers group launched a bloodless coup in 1952. Moussa, a popular former foreign minister under Mubarak, has said he has reached out to Islamists.
El-Arabi, a well-respected and experienced diplomat, has been touted by the media and some parties as a potentialchallenger who could unite political factions wary of backing any candidate with links to Mubarak's old era.
"I have no intention to run for the presidency, under any circumstances," El-Arabi told journalists on Sunday, afternewspapers reported negotiations between parties to back him.
Under new rules approved in a referendum last year, presidency will be limited to two consecutive four-year terms.
Mubarak was deposed shortly before the end of his fifth six-year term. Most of his terms were secured via single-candidate referendums. In 2005 he ran in Egypt's first multi-candidate race, but rights groups and others said the rules for that poll blocked any realistic challenge to the incumbent.

So a major new study comes out in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases declaring that a common hormonal contraceptive doubles the risk of HIV transmission. Researchers at the University of Washington determined, by following 3,800 couples in seven AIDS impacted African countries, that the contraceptive (Depo-Provera, which is taken by injection every few months) increases the likelihood that women will become infected with HIV, and the likelihood that women already infected will transmit it to their male partners. Those who have relentlessly promoted such contraception might now be considering how to concede, sotto voce: oops, my bad!
Or will they? This study was not the gold standard – that is, it was not a randomized controlled trial explicitly designed to examine that specific linkage. But it is sturdy and bolsters in important respects previous studies that also indicated a connection between hormonal contraceptives and HIV transmission. Still other studies have conclusively demonstrated a link between contraception and other STDs. The strength and gravity of these findings, if not strictly conclusive at this stage, nonetheless dictate that the safest operating assumption should be that the contraceptive doubles the likelihood that the uninfected partner will contract HIV.
President Obama should therefore cease exporting these contraceptives – long a mainstay of foreign aid programs – though we can expect politicized dithering from health authorities about whether or not to even inform women, and men for that matter, of this risk. It'd be hard to call such a move reactionary, despite what some would no doubt say, considering that Obama personally apologized to the president of Guatemala recently because American medical researchers deliberately infected 1,300 Guatemalans with STDs such as syphilis in the 1940s.
Granted, this is not precisely the same thing. But we can now say with much, if not quite total, confidence that western funded contraception programs lead to more HIV transmission than would otherwise occur in their absence. Among those exposed to the virus and the contraceptive – not a small cohort (12 million African women use it) – we can expect roughly twice as many infections to accrue as we would without the contraceptive. This is now foreseeable.
The inhumane Guatemalan scheme of the 1940s took eighty-three lives; what was then justified under the pretext of "science" is now rightly seen as an outrage. But there are always justifications. In this case, justifications are being called quandaries. Public Health authorities today will fend off outrage – over complicity with fueling a fearsome epidemic – as long as possible under the pretext of "family planning," whether they resort to the overpopulation canard or to tragically high rates of maternal mortality. Even if it means knowingly causing eighty-three extra HIV infections a day – assuming that only a small proportion of Africa's 2.7 million annual HIV infections is attributable to injectable contraception – you can always do some harm as long as you claim that contraceptives somehow do more net good. Malleable indeed is the utilitarian calculus, constant its compliance with the will of the powerful.
The New York Times stressed that these findings present a "quandary," citing officials who depict preventing pregnancy in that part of the world as roughly on par with preventing HIV infection. But this is a false dilemma. As I pointed out recently, we've made little progress against maternal mortality in Africa because maternal health programs have not focused on survival but devolved into "Family Planning" programs – which authorities seem not to want to relinquish at any price.
Imagine if the vast sums of money now being spent on the carcinogenic steroids that also increase HIV transmission – injectable contraceptives – were spent on relatively basic measures to manage the conditions that cause the vast majority of maternal deaths; only a miniscule proportion of resources are presently directed towards those proper ends. Why, you'd kill two birds with one stone – reduce current levels of HIV transmission and save the lives of mothers and their babies when (real) complications do strike.
If that sounds reasonable, you need no nudging to appreciate why Pope Benedict XVI observes with repeated urgency that reason itself is under assault today – not just faith. (You can expect the usual attacks on him when he visits Benin next week.) The Public Health and Foreign Aid establishments are not just rejecting the Judeo-Christian tradition – but "dissing" Hippocrates himself, the esteemed pre-Christian father of Western medicine who gave us one of its most foundational principles: Primum non nocere – First, do no harm.
Hippocrates, it must be stressed, also equated love for the art of Medicine with love of Humanity. You don't have to be a physician and an artist, as St. Luke was, to recognize that pregnancy is not a disease – even if our own government, now attempting to require private employers to cover contraception and sterilization under the rubric of "preventive services," would have us believe otherwise. Could it be that, in pursuing demonstrably harmful, neo-Malthusian contraceptive schemes, some measure of misanthropy lurks not far beneath the surface in our great halls of supposed philanthropy?
