When animals are rescued from dangerous living situations or seized from the hands of smugglers, STAR Eco Station provides second chances at peaceful lives. The facility offers a haven for more than 200 rescued animals and educates the public as an environmental science museum. During public tours, guides lead guests through exhibits of rescued exotic animals, such as parrots, pythons, and wildcats, while explaining the habits, history, and New Year's resolutions of each creature.
The recipient of multiple awards from media and government agencies, STAR Eco Station also provides educational outreach programs to more than 40 California school districts and works in concert with conservation organizations such as the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Paw Project, and Heal the Bay.
The historic fountain at the east end of Balboa Park's El Prado pedestrian walk is a lure for visitors, thanks to its majestic and cooling spray. But a quick turn to the right is the entrance to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, another local draw. For the young, it's a two story, interactive science playground. For the young at heart, there are sophisticated displays, rotating exhibits and the new, NanoSeam IMAX Dome Theater. Films splayed across the 76-foot wraparound screen plunge viewers into the depths of the sea and out into space, through jungles and between skyscrapers around the planet. Resident astronomers also create new shows monthly, using the latest SkyScan System software. The café near the entrance takes care of hungry visitors with a modest menu, a few tables indoors and patio seating in front of the fountain.
Founded in the mid-1980s, The California Women's Conference boasts a long and proud tradition of lectures and discussion panels aimed especially at women in business. Some highlights from past years include a panel and sack race featuring Michelle Obama, Ann Romney, Cindy McCain, and Elizabeth Edwards in 2007 and a historic address from the Dalai Lama and Maria Shriver in 2006. Beyond annual conventions, The California Women's Conference offers news and resources with a lively online community.
FrameStore's craftsmen have created more than 250,000 custom frames in the store's 35-year tenure, designing pieces that now adorn the walls of prestigious institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Ritz-Carlton, and the Walt Disney Company. Professional designers guide FrameStore's clients through the 2,200 moulding options that can accent paintings and treasured items while adding style and elegance to rooms. The store's craftsmen then fashion pieces to patron specifications, outfitting frames with classic or museum-quality glass that blocks UV rays from bleaching out images or censoring pictures of the moon. Every piece goes through a 16-point inspection before it is given to patrons, and the team averages a seven-day turnaround on all of its projects.
Zoomars calls itself a place for "innocent, old-fashioned fun"—and it's not kidding about the "old-fashioned" part. Although the petting zoo itself opened three decades ago, it stands on the site of a farm built around 1890. Other exceedingly quaint buildings sprang up around it in the years that followed, and now its fuzzy and feathered fleet frolics in the center of San Juan Capistrano's historic district, including two Zoomars facilities listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The tidy, USDA-approved farm houses 16 friendly species ready for affectionate coddling, such as sheep, bunnies, and guinea pigs. Zoo staffers supervise kids as they climb into goat pens, or drop snacks into the mouths of zedonks, zebus, and staff members working through lunch.
Additionally, a child-size miniature train chugs a whistling ride around a circular track, and gentle ponies trot along on hand-led trail rides as parents canter along behind. At a re-created Gold Rush–era mine, staffers help small visitors to pan and sift for gemstones, arrowheads, dinosaur fossils, fool's gold, and long-lost arcade tokens.
At The Pumpkin Factory, festive gourds bring an orange glow to the atmosphere, setting the scene for an exciting fall carnival. At three locations, kids leap into the air in inflatable bounce houses, converse with the goats at the petting zoo, and trot around on gentle ponies. In Corona, a special EuroBobble attraction lets guests play buoy, rolling atop a pool in a clear, inflatable bubble. At the Westminster Pumpkin Factory, helicopters take flight for scenic tours of the fairgrounds. At the end of the day, families can take home a pumpkin of their own to create a gruesome jack 'o' lantern doppelganger of their neighbor.

Hi, I'm somewhat new to the GSC metagame on PO, but I wanted to talk about how to deal with Snorlax in battle. First, let's go over some of its key features.
Snorlax has an enormous HP stat and a great special defense stat, making it work well as a special wall. It also has a great attack stat and a number of good moves, giving it strong offense.
It has four strong movesets, ranging from sleeptalking, to cursing, to belly drumming, to being a starter.
Type-wise, its only weakness is fighting. It also has a subpar defense stat, making fighting moves a good option to use against it. Problem is, most Snorlaxes with have either rest or curse, sometimes both. Snorlax's enormous HP stat does not lend itself to be taken out quickly, so it has plenty of time to set up or heal up. Most attempts to weaken it with some kind of status effect will be in vain as it will just Rest and be rid of it.
So, what counters Snorlax? A fighting-type pokemon with a fighting-type move would damage it well, maybe enough to break through the Snorlax trying to curse/rest wall. But of course, the intention of sending a fighting-type pokemon out against a Snorlax is obvious. You'd have to have eliminated any counters to your fighting-type beforehand.
But that's just what I think. What do you guys think? How can you deal with Snorlax?
If you can get Vaporeon a Growth or 2 before Lax comes in, Lax is going to slowly collapse.
But the guide Jules linked to says this kind of stuff betterthan I ever could.
Actually try to use miltank,or anything that can charm(umbreon incluided).Try misdreavus,he can perish trap snorlax and kill,or acid armor vaporeon,they can baton pass too,or you can risk with skarmory or gengar,althrought snorlax possibly will have eq or fire blast.I know the jules stuff,but im just trying to help directly.
I usually encore the curse.. then if he stays in i can just set up and encore again when encore wears off
I know this thread is ancient but whatever. Most lax sets (Curselax in particular) are countered by growltank/charm umbreon/growl slowbro etc. These pokes can't handle drumlax very well however. There isn't much in the game that can, especially if it has Lovely Kiss. The closest thing to a drumlax counter is skarmory, and even then LK can cripple it. Any team in gsc needs to handle lax (Derp), but it's easier said then done. If you are a decent player, lax shouldn't be too much of a problem once you figure out the set. A bad player will simply bring in lax immediately and begin cursing. Then you know what set it is, and you know 2-3 moves. Curse, Body slam/double edge, rest, and earthquake usually, but sometimes fire blast. Some people run Curse + belly drum lax, but that's rare. And if it doesn't have rest, it can get worn down. If it does, any rock/steel/ghost stops it. As I said, laking sure your team can check lax should be the first thing that goes through your head when making a team. Last poke curselax would be a horribly annoying thing to lose to.
Most of the gsc curselax's i've battled have opted for sleep talk over a second attacking option. This choice makes it a lot harder for most things to do much against snorlax, but on the other hand, it means poor snorlax is 100% walled by a ghost.
STlax is pretty stupid, it really doesn't need sleep talk, as you're walled to high hell by ghosts as jj mentioned, and rhydon/tar/steelix etc.
though keep in mind gen 2 there are only 2 ghosts total gengar and misdreavus.
threads i've started: priority in ubers
Gengar's pretty common though in my experience.
@ DJ: the only one of those pokemon you mentioned that would actually be an issue would be steelix imo. At +6, snorlax is just going to wipe the floor with almost anything. Steelix however can set up curses alongside lax or even just roar him out.
All the pokes I mentioned can curse up alongside STlax, and win too, just watch for suicunes, as nothing I mentioned can touch it. Steelix can go boom and kill it, but that's not recommended for obvious reasons. And besides, anything wipes the floor with anything at +6. Unless you're talking about drumlax with a STAB move and EQ, in which case point taken.
No one Snorlax set is really that tough to "counter", assuming perfect knowledge. If lax is doing offense, it's almost always relying on a bit of surprise (unexpected LK or SD opening up a hole, opponent letting down their guard against a drummer), assuming skilled play. If you keep your guard up and really know what you're up against, though, Lax is probably not going to be the thing that breaks you. However, breaking lax is a whole different story. It's one of the main reasons why Thunder electrics are so popular atm, despite making it so much harder for those very electrics to win the matchups they should be dominating.
Speaking of Thunder, Lax needs to start using that more often; it's recently seen almost 0 use. It keeps Cloyster from being comfortable with setting spikes up against Lax while still hitting Skarm hard, the latter of which is 90% of the reason Snorlax ever considers special moves to begin with. And, as a bonus, it can also threaten paralysis without the need to devote your STAB to the weaker Bslam.
But people don't like to think that far lol. People check the 5 year old smogon analysiseseses and assume they're set.

Steve for Model Number svd48600b
Answer Hello Steve! To convert the appliance back to NG you'll need to purchase the burner tubes. Unfortunately, the burner tubes listed for your model have been discontinued and are no longer available. Sorry about that!
Was this helpful?
Rick for Model Number svd48600b
Answer Rick, No, the orifice"LP pins" are not required (they were probably removed in the original conversion, or were never there on some serial numbers) . Both the LP and Nat gas orifices are "pre drilled" to the proper size and BTU rating (see page 7 & 8 for sizes and location of hoods). Just make sure you maintain 11 WCI under a load (all the burners on) and you'll be fine.
David K. for Model Number Whirlpool SF367LEKQ
Answer Hello David, I seriously doubt this unit was changed over because if you hook natural gas to a unit that is set up for LP, the flames would be at very low when set to high if it would light at all. The flames also would not be blue but a lot of orange and yellow. The natural gas orifices come in the unit when new and the LP orifices come in a kit. The manufacturer assumes that the customer will keep up with the natural gas orifices so, if they are ever needed, you have to order them individually. The L80 is an identification and it does not indicate the type of gas it is to be used with.
Cara for Model Number mgr6775bdw19
Answer Hi Cara, The manufacturer builds the range already set for NAT gas so they do not list a kit for NAT models. In order to convert back to NAT gas, you will need to order the components as they were used in production at the factory. You will not need the gas regulator as it should be adjustable. I am listing the parts you will need below.

Ron Jaworski on ESPN recently started his offseason quarterback countdown. In his preseason list last year, Jaws ranked Blaine Gabbert 29th, one spot ahead of Tim Tebow. This year Jaws has Chad Henne ranked 29th, with Kevin Kolb, Jake Locker, and Matt Flynn behind him at 30, 31, and 32 respectively. The obvious implication here is Blaine Gabbert is not on the list at all. A YouTube clip of the segment is below (although probably not for very long).
Let's start off by taking a look at some of the points Jaws makes in his basis for ranking Chad Henne.
- Chad Henne excels at throwing between the numbers, in the seam.
Watching Henne last year, he did have decent anticipation on seam routes and had no problem letting it rip with tight coverage. Unfortunately, some of Henne's success on these throws can be attributed to luck or a straight-up fluke. The best example is the 81 yard touchdown to Justin Blackmon against Houston (1:08 in the clip).
Blackmon bailed Henne out a few times in the Houston game.
Chad Henne drops it in to Blackmon against three defenders, one of whom was the safety who should have absolutely annihilated Blackmon. The safety obviously let up for fear of a 15-yard penalty and a hefty fine from the league offices for hitting a defenseless receiver. This led to an odd collision where Blackmon was able to wiggle free and run for a touchdown. Yes, this play worked out but it was reckless and Henne hung his receiver out to dry. Henne had throws like this often and his high turnover rate over the last few games of the season can be partially attributed to that.
- Justin Blackmon's targets went up significantly when Henne started.
Here are Blackmon and Cecil Shorts' targets for the season.
Week | Blackmon | Shorts | Week | Blackmon | Shorts |
1 | 6 | 7 | 10 | 5 | 14 |
2 | 0 | 0 | 11 | 14 | 6 |
3 | 5 | 2 | 12 | 6 | 7 |
4 | 10 | 5 | 13 | 6 | 12 |
7 | 4 | 10 | 16 | 12 | 11 |
9 | 9 | 4 |
Blackmon's targets steadily increased as the season went along, which can probably be attributed to a rookie wide receiver getting more comfortable to the speed and physicality of the NFL. Additionally, Shorts was sidelined towards the end of the season due to concussions. Furthermore, with Maurice Jones-Drew out of the lineup after the Oakland game, Mularkey was forced to throw the ball more often so naturally Blackmon saw the ball go his way a little more.
- Chad Henne holds on to the ball too long.
Yes. This. This so much. Henne has a tendency to hold the ball too long and then apparently decide to throw the ball just because. Henne's interceptions are infinitely more frustrating when you can tell he throws it despite not really watching the route develop whatsoever.
Jaws starts his segment by saying Chad Henne is the "best quarterback on the Jaguars' roster, and should be the opening day starter in 2013." Even ignoring the holes I poked in his evaluation of Henne, this makes absolutely no sense.
Let's accept the premise that right now Henne is better than Blaine Gabbert. So sure, let's go ahead and start Chad Henne. How many games will he win you? 5? 6? Maybe 7 if he can take care of the ball at a level he never has before? Why mire in mediocrity with a quarterback that is never going to take you to the Super Bowl?
Henne is a known quantity – he's a below-average and occasionally average quarterback who is never going to be elite. There are still some unknowns to Gabbert's overall potential that are worth exploring. Gabbert might perform like he has the last 2 seasons – overly cautious, indecisive, unable to manipulate the pocket – but going 3-13 with Gabbert next year is better long term than going 6-10 with Chad Henne. It's hard to accept the premise that losing more games is better for the franchise, but in this scenario it's absolutely how fans should be approaching the 2013 season.
So everyone, please stop. Chad Henne shouldn't, and most likely won't, be the opening day starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Last year we spent a lot of time on the Marriot's Way. It's perfect safe cycling and takes us out from the centre of Norwich into beautiful countryside. However one member of staff (none of the young people!) was getting bored with it so we decided to go further afield and discover new routes.
For our first new expedition we are following National Cycle Route One from Holkham back to Norwich.
So far we have covered:
9/9/12 | Holkham to Wells | Through Holkham Park, past the Hall, down to the beach, through the woods to the car park at Wells |
8/10/12 | Wells to Walsingham | Off-road along farm tracks to Wighton, across the ford to Walsingham |
22/10/12 | Walsingham to Fakenham | We were led by Ryan who showed us all the back routes through Sculthorpe. |
3/12/12 | Fakenham to Reepham | |
10/12/12 | Reepham to Norwich | along Marriott's Way,- all got to Taverham but Billy and Liam went all the way back to the unit. |

The MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam (aka Zeta, Ζ Gundam, ζ Gundam) is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Though the unit itself had many pilots throughout Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, it was most famously piloted by its designer, Kamille Bidan.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Zeta Gundam is a high-performance, next-generation MS developed by Anaheim Electronics in partnership with the Anti Earth Union Group.
In terms of weaponry, the Zeta is very well armed with an arsenal favoring beam weapons. It includes standard Gundam type armament including head mounted Vulcan guns, dual beam sabers, and a high powered beam rifle. It also sported arm mounted grenade launchers which could be given additional ammunition from detachable storage packs, and could also house a grappling tool for various purposes. The Zeta's most prolific weapon however is without a doubt the Hyper Mega Launcher, a massive rifle used to great extent in the latter parts of the Gryps Conflict and during the First Neo Zeon War. This weapon fires very high powered beam shots capable of destroying even battleships with a well placed shot. Both the launcher and beam rifle could also double as a cunning melee weapon as the launcher and beam rifle had a built in beam saber bayonet-style modes called the long beam saber. The beam rifle and Hyper Mega Launcher could be used while in Waverider configuration as well, and the hip mounted Beam Sabers doubled as beam guns in this mode.
- MU-86G 60mm Vulcan Gun
- As with all mobile suits that trace their linage back to the RX-78-2 Gundam the Zeta Gundam features a head mounted vulcan gun system. The purpose of the vulcan guns is to serve as a mid-close range defensive weapon. While it can normally do little damage against the armor of a mobile suit it serves as a much more efficient and cost-effective as a means to shoot down incoming missiles, as opposed to using the beam rifle, the power of which would be over kill and if far more limited in ammunition. The vulcan guns are an offensive weapon designed to be used against small lightly-armored targets such as ground combat vehicles or attack helicopters. The 60mm vulcan guns are operable in mobile suit mode only.
- 2-tube Grenade Launcher
- One of the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam's more unique weapons is a pair of 2-tube grenade launchers built into the mobile suit's forearms. The grenades are moderately powerful self-propelling explosives that can deal significant damage to a mobile suit or battleship, but are particularly effective against machines with heavy defenses against beam weapons. Each tube carries two rounds, meaning each grenade launcher carries four grenades, for a total of eight rounds that the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam can use before needing to reload.
- Grappling Wire
- A Grappling Wire can be use as optional equipment that replaces the explosive warheads on the grenade launchers. It mainly used to immobilized the enemies, very suited to this Mobile Suit.
- A.E.BLASH XB-G-35/Du.105 Beam Saber/Beam Gun
- The beam saber is the standard close-combat melee weapon of mobile suits descended from the RX-78-2 Gundam. The pair employed by the Zeta Gundam are stored in hip recharge racks, are hand carried in use, and have a power rating of 0.65 MW. However the Zeta Gundam's beam sabers are unique in that in waverider mode the beam sabers double as fire-linked beam guns, partially extending from the recharge racks instead of fully deploying, with a total power rating of 1.3 MW.
- (BOWA) XBR-M87A2 Beam Rifle
- The MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam is often outfitted with a unique (BOWA) XBR-M87A2 Beam Rifle. The XBR-M87A2 beam rifle is larger than most other models employed by other mobile suits and is powered by a replaceable e-pac, with a powerful power rating of 5.7 MW. The beam rifle is also capable of emitting a beam saber from its barrel, allowing the Zeta Gundam to use it as melee weapon should the situation call for it.
- Grenade Launcher Cartridge
- An optional piece of equipment that can be attached to the Zeta Gundam's grenade launcher. Holding 18+1 additional grenades the grenade launcher cartridge serves as an extended ammunition magazine for the grenade launcher.
- FXA-03M2 Hyper Mega Launcher
- When the Zeta Gundam needs greater firepower than its (BOWA) XBR-M87A2 Beam Rifle can deliver, it will be equipped with the hyper mega launcher. Looking like a "big brother" version of the beam rifle the hyper mega launcher is appropriately more powerful with a power rating of 8.3 MW. Like the beam rifle the hyper mega launcher is powered by a replaceable e-pac and can double as a large beam saber.
- FF-XV-SH-609Z Shield
- A standard defensive feature of most mobile suits is an arm-mounted shield. Originally a thick piece of extra armor designed to stop physical rounds, shield technology has been forced to adapt to the development of beam weapons by incorporating an anti-beam coating. The anti-beam coating allows shields to block energy beam attacks, however with each hit taken it gets worn down until rendered useless. The Zeta Gundam's unique shield serves as the machines nose in waverider mode.
Special Equipment & Features
- Bio-Sensor
- A technological variant of the Psycommu system developed by Anaheim Electronics. Although its full capabilities are unknown, its primary purpose is to allow a Newtype pilot to more easily interface with his mobile suit via mental commands. The bio-sensor could also have a rather surprising side effect when the pilot was mentally and emotionally focused enough (usually when angry or upset) to cause the bio-sensor to amplify the power, speed, and strength of the mobile suit for a short period of time.
The MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam's design was originally used to build three prototypes; the MSZ-006-X1, the MSZ-006-X2, and the MSZ-006-X3 as part of Project Zeta. While these machines can transform, there is too much metal fatigue on the frame. This problem was corrected by Kamille Bidan, a Newtype teenager, incorporating innovations of that time such as the "movable frame" concept extracted by the Anti Earth Union Group from the Titans' RX-178 Gundam Mk-II project (headed by Franklin Bidan), and the Gundarium gamma alloy used in the RMS-099 Rick Dias.
The Ζeta's design was revolutionary in many ways (both in and out of the anime), and in the UC time-line looked very different from previous models of the Gundam type of Mobile Suit. The transformation ability and the suit's great speed is the Ζ's signature quality, as its transformation is fluid and integrated into its combat style often giving it grace unrivaled by most MS. In the story of Gundam Sentinel, when the MSA-0011 S Gundam approaches the Base of Pezun, a commander replied there shouldn't be Mobile Suits like Zeta Gundam everywhere that have the high acceleration of a Mobile Armor but of the size of a Mobile Suit. While ironically, two MSZ-006C1 Ζeta Plus C1, a.k.a mass production Zeta Gundam units, are approaching behind S Gundam as a demonstration of how technological advances quickly shifts the form of war.[1]
Kamille Bidan became the designated pilot of the Ζeta Gundam in the year UC 0087. Replacing Gundam Mk-II as his personal Mobile Suit, Kamille obtained the Ζeta Gundam after returning to space from the Hong Kong incident involving Four Murasame. Screaming into battle, this sleek convertible Mobile Suit took all of the Titan's forces by surprise with its incredible performance and attack potential. Kamille led many successful missions against the Titans and the AEUG turned the tide of the war. Kamille in the Ζeta was responsible for battling and ultimately killing Titans leader Paptimus Scirocco, besting his powerful mobile suit, the PMX-003 The O.
The AEUG pilot Fa Yuiry later recovered the Ζ Gundam along with its pilot. After undergoing repairs, the Newtype Judau Ashta became the principal pilot of this mobile suit while the mobile suit MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam was still under construction by Anaheim Electronics. When Judau received the ZZ, Federation pilot Roux Louka took control of the Ζ and used it to great success during the war against Neo-Zeon (though Judau occasionally traded mobile suits with Roux due to the Zeta being more maneuverable due to its lighter weight). The Ζeta Gundam continued being in operation until its destruction at the end of the First Neo Zeon War, crippled by Ple Two's monstrous NZ-000 Queen Mansa, although the Ζeta got in one final crippling shot before being abandoned. The unit was recovered but never used again and is said to have been stored away along with all the other Mobile Suits belonging to the Gundam team on the Argama and the Nahel Argama-class Carrier secretly by Karaba, an anti-Earth Federation resistance group.
In Char's Counterattack - High Streamer, the unit was recovered after the end of the First Neo Zeon War and concealed along with the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki by Federation Forces. According to Anaheim Journal, the Zeta Gundam was restored exclusively for the U.C. 00100 ceremony to perform flight demonstrations. In MS Graphica, a Zeta Gundam replica constructed by Anaheim Electronics is deployed for a special mission to combat the EARM terrorist group mobile armor, Leiurus, in U.C. 0097. This particular unit was piloted by freelance mercenary "Johnny" (callsign "Lightning").
An interesting feature of the Ζ Gundam is the incorporation of the plot device, a mysterious Bio-sensor - a reduced-feature replica of the Psychic Communicator (PSYCOMMU) system devised by Murasame Newtype Laboratories to interface Newtype pilots to mobile suits. The bio-sensor allowed a Newtype pilot to temporarily increase the combat power of the mobile suit by using psycho-kinetic energy inherently strong in Newtypes - its usage became more frequent during the last days of the first Gryps War between the AEUG and the Titans, even turning the Waverider into a deadly weapon (Kamille's attack using the Waverider to ram into Scirroco has been named the Waverider Crash in video games depicting the Zeta, such as the Super Robot Wars series). The Ζ Gundam was an incredibly high performance machine that accomplished much, helping turn the tide of the Titans conflict and fighting against Neo-Zeon afterwards. The Ζ however, was intricately tuned and built to Kamille's exact specifications and style, so once Kamille was out of the war while the Ζ could be piloted competently by other pilots, it could arguably no longer perform to its full potential without Kamille at the controls although it was still a highly formidable machine.

Picture Gallery
- The Zeta Gundam's name is derived from "Zeta", which is the sixth letter of the Greek Alphabet - which may be reference to its model number.
- The MSZ-006 Ζ Gundam is the sixth mobile suit built by Anaheim Electronics as the culmination of the Project Ζ according to Gundam Sentinel list of Anaheim Gundams. The design served as the first Transformable Mobile Suit in real life, and the concept served as the basics of various mobile suit designs later in other Gundam series.
- The "VMsAWrs" marking on its chest armor on the 1/100 Master Grade box art refers to the name of its transformation mechanism. It stands for "Variable Mobile-suit And Wave-rider system".
- This mobile suit is also one of the first variable-form Gundams televised, capable of transforming into a fighter form called the Waverider.
- In the video game knows as RayCrisis taito shooting game is a 3 WR ships Stands for Wave Rider it's a same name of Waverider gundam transformable fighter mode mobile suit.
- It gets the moniker "Headshoter Gundam". Kamille shot Psycho Gundam Mk.II's head when he was forced to stop it and kill Rosamia who piloted it. Then in Gundam ZZ, Roux shot Quin Mantha's head with Zeta Gundam, killing Glemy Toto.
- The Z Gundam has the honor of being the Mobile Suit from UC timeline, if not in general, to have the highest number of named characters pilot it.
- The Z Gundam is one of the few visible examples that the Gundam franchise is off-spring from the Super Robot genre, despite being stated to be Real Robot. The Zeta's ability to channel the souls of the dead and increase its offensive capabilities tremendously is clearly a Super Robot-only skill.
- Roux Louka is the default pilot for Zeta in Super Robot Wars R, even though Kamille Bidan is present in the game. However, this is due to the plot of the game (Kamille was in his comatose state until before that stage and was given the Super Gundam instead. When Roux and the rest of the Gundam Team is introduced, it's during ZZ's story)
- In Gundam Battle Assault 2, Zeta can only be played by using Gameshark device. Very unproper that Zeta is piloted by Akahana in the game.
- In some games such as the Gundam Vs series or Gundam Memories, the Zeta will be shown with both of its beam weapons attached to its top and bottom hardpoints in Waverider mode.

Jason Hummel: I Am Not a Drug-Dealing Liar!
by Hilton Hater at .No amount of chaos that Jon Gosselin's eight children could inflict can come anywhere near the mess this reality TV star has found himself in.
First, he was photographed leaving a Pennsylvania bar late at night with another woman.
Second, he took responsibility for acting with poor judgment, but denied cheating on his wife.
Then, Gosselin's alleged mistress, Deanna Hummel, echoed her friend's statement, saying her and Jon were mere acquaintances and any accusations to the contrary were a lie.
Next, Deanna's brother, Jason Hummel, went on record with explicit details that outlined an affair between his sister and Jon, including sex sounds that emanated through the thin walls of the home he shares with Deanna.
From there, Deanna called her brother a shady liar.
Now, Jason is firing back at Deanna. In the latest issue of Us Weekly, he ignores his sibling's insults and makes a simple point: neither Deanna nor Jon counter his specific points.
"I noticed that in both her and Jon's recent comments, that neither of them addresses the fact that he was sleeping over at our house and was videotaped leaving our house at 7:30 in the morning," Jason said. "Neither of them addresses why she was photographed in a bikini in his front yard while Kate was out of town. It is what it is. I have no reason to lie."
Supposedly, this is actually true, as the gossip magazine claims it didn't pay Jason for his interview.
As for his sketchy, drug-dealing past?
"I have a bad past and I'm not proud of it," he told the tabloid. "I was selling drugs. I didn't get a jail sentence, I'm on probation. When I made my mistake, I was the same age as my sister is now, making her mistake. Hopefully she can learn from it."
So, which side are you on:
2 Comments New Comment Subscribe
I don't care what anyone says, I love Kate. She can be bitchy, but I love her personality and I down right feel bad for her and the kids. Why would Jon have his family caught up in some mess like this? He should be ashamed and he should of been hanging out with the guys and not some 23 year old. I can't imagine what Kate is treating Jon like. I would love to be a fly on the wall.

Excellent case fanPros: - CFM rating is legit. These move a lot of air. You can't beat the efficiency for this price. Cons: No molex connector. Not a biggie, as I had some adaptors laying around. Other Thoughts: I had two of these that I've been using for about 2.5 years, and I was so impressed I decided to add 3 more to my case for my latest rebuild. Probably overkill, given how powerful they are, but better too much than not enough cooling. Airflow is amazing in this system now. Did you find this review helpful? |
A notch abovePros: They work, quiet, fluid dynamic design Cons: They are white ( WIll attract dust) could blow more air cheap power cable Other Thoughts: I was in a hurry to buy some fans for my fig after doing some more research I found another brand that has a higher CFM but the same DB level. So... look around before you buy these there are better options 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
not quietPros: look nice, move an ok amount of air Cons: noisy, not quiet, no PWM control Other Thoughts: I bought 3 of these fans expecting them to be quiet, they can very clearly be heard. Did you find this review helpful? |
GreatPros: Very good and cheap. Really gets the air flowing in the case, and just two of these (one in the front, and one in the top) have reduces overall cpu temps by at times around 10f degrees. 3 pin with a long wire to reach where you need it to go. Comes with fand and 4 screws to use. Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: Get em if you want extra airflow and cooling in your case. I fell in love with arctic fans after getting their A30 cooler. This companies fans are great an look good to boot. Did you find this review helpful? |
Gets the job donePros: Cheap, silent enough, and effective. Cons: None so far except the first fan I received broke off the main housing immediately after opening from package. Other Thoughts: Just your basic fane, nothing fancy. Did you find this review helpful? |
NicePros: Quiet, move a surprising amount of air for comparable brands. Cons: have to buy molex adapter if you aren't using fan 3 pin plugs. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not Bad...Pros: Bought 2 of these fans to replace the included 120mm fans that came with the Corsair H80 cooler. They do what their supposed to...move air - and they are relatively quiet. Plus the white fan blades match the other 2 intake fans on my Fractal Node 304 mITX case : ) Cons: Would be nice if the fan connector cables were a nice braided black or something similar Other Thoughts: They do their job. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Artic Cooling Arctic F12 Afaco 12000 Gba01 120mm Case fan.Pros: Neweggs service, price and delivery. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Package states they have a 6yr warranty. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Fan!!!Pros: It moves a good amount of air and is rather quiet. Finally a fan that does what it claims! Cons: None other than the white color. Other Thoughts: This fan is not completely quite, there is the sound of air moving and some electric humm but its the best out of all the 120mm fans I have tried. The air pattern is very wide and it seems to move a lot of air for the amount of noise made. With a good fan controller I don't think you could do better than this fan. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Operates exactly as it should. Cons: Could be quieter, and free. Other Thoughts: Works well with my case/motherboard color scheme. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

In a conversation with Radio Factor host Bill O'Reilly about President Bush's secret authorization of warrantless domestic wiretapping, Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew P. Napolitano asked: "Would you feel this way if Hillary [Clinton] were president?" Napolitano then added: "Because then you know the pro-life and the pro-gun will -- they'll be targets of warrantless searches. ... And maybe conservative commentators will be targets of warrantless searches."
MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews asserted that illegally spying on Americans in an effort to track down terrorists was "maybe ... part of the job" of the president of the United States.
Loading the player leg...
CBS, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post reported without challenge the disputed claim that President Bush has the legal authority to instruct the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance of people in the United States without obtaining warrants.
Rush Limbaugh baselessly claimed that "Americans were not spied on without a warrant" through President Bush's controversial electronic surveillance program. In fact, the program is controversial precisely because evidence suggests that Bush authorized the National Security Agency to spy on people within the United States without obtaining warrants.
A January 10 Wall Street Journal editorial presented as fact misleading and disputed assertions about President Bush's authorization of warrantless domestic surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency.
CNN's Jeffrey Toobin corrected a previous misstatement that Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. was in the majority of the Doe v. Groody decision, a 2003 case involving the physical and visual search of a 10-year-old girl. In fact, Alito dissented in the case, while the majority ruled that the search went beyond the scope of the warrant, in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
For the second time in a week, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court denied the FBI a warrant to search the laptop computer of Zacarias Moussaoui. But in fact, the FBI never petitioned the court for a warrant after bureau attorneys determined they did not have sufficient evidence.
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin falsely claimed that Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. was in the majority on a three-judge panel when he said that the physical and visual search of a 10-year-old girl and her mother was legal. In fact, Alito dissented from the majority opinion, which ruled that the search was illegal.
Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes falsely claimed that public polling shows "support" for the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic spy program. In fact, an AP/Ipsos poll released January 6 shows that 56 percent of Americans said the Bush administration "[s]hould ... be required to get a warrant from a judge before monitoring phone and internet communications between American citizens in the United States and suspected terrorists."
CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin suggested that "the Democrats may be looking for trouble" if they criticize the Bush administration's warrantless spying program during the Alito hearings, falsely stating that the public supports the administration's program
Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor and former aide to Attorney General John Ashcroft, falsely claimed that four appeals court decisions confirmed that it is legal for the president to authorize warrantless domestic surveillance. A January 4 Washington Times editorial made a similar claim.
Fox News' Jim Angle reported on how, hypothetically, domestic eavesdropping could be done without violating FISA, even though the reality of the Bush administration eavesdropping program reportedly conflicts with Angle's scenario.
Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court prevented the FBI from accessing the laptop computer of Zacarias Moussaoui -- the alleged "20th hijacker" in the September 11, 2001, terrorist plot -- immediately prior to the attacks. In fact, the Moussaoui case never reached the FISA court.
Gary Schmitt of the American Enterprise Institute falsely claimed, in an article in the The Weekly Standard, that FISA prevented the government from getting warrants in the Zacarias Moussaoui and Wen Ho Lee cases, even though formal reviews of those cases determined that it was misinterpretation of FISA, not the law itself, that prevented the FBI from getting the warrants in question.
A New York Times article characterized the National Security Agency's domestic spying program as "eavesdrop[ping] on some international calls involving people in the United States." However, the exact scope and dimensions of the program remain unclear, and there is evidence that it intercepted communications in which all parties were located in the United States.

The 6 Levels of Life & Leadership have nothing to do with the size of your church but they have everything to do with the heart-size of the leader. The principles found in the 6 levels of life & leadership apply to individuals as well as churches, ministries, and organizations. What is your level? The 6 Levels of Leadership is available as a 7 week online coaching program as well as a 1 or 2-day class. Use this as a training or strategy planning meeting for yourself, leaders, or your organization in a retreat event. The 6 Levels are a catalyst to take you and your organization to a higher level. Contact email@example.com .
S.P.I.N. Evangelism is the newest offering of Simple Discipleship. We offer evangelism training and coaching to change the behavior of Christians who are not sharing their faith. Our evangelism training involves several aspects:
Click on the S.P.I.N. Evangelism tab for more information.
Simple Discipleship is going to the next level! We have identified thirty-two principles that when taken together, they answer the question "What is a disciple of Jesus Christ?" A round cut diamond has 58 facets that gather and reflect light. Likewise, disciples of Jesus Christ have many facets that have the potential of gathering and reflecting his light. The facets of a disciple may be identified in The Laws of Discipleship. This is one reason why there are so many different proposed answers to the qhestion, "What is a disciple?" Notice the balance and symetry that is illustrated in the seven laws or principles in each of the four "quadrants" of Simple Discipleship. If your church is already using Simple Discipleship, The Laws of Discipleship will provide incredible depth for your ministry. The book title has been pre-registered with the Library of Congress and teaching content is being prepared and will be ready soon. Keep checking back for news.
Welcome to the Simple Discipleship website. (Scroll down to see the full list of discipleship products and services.) One of the biggest obstacles that ministries currently face is finding biblical and creative ways to grow their congregation. The primary purpose of the church is to make disciples and everything else is subserviant to that Great Commission. Our purpose is to equip Christians and church leaders to make disciple-makers. In the 21st century the greater Christian community has vested the Great Commission responsibility to make disciples to pastors and other church leaders. We believe it is the responsibility of EVERY Christian to make disciples or more properly expressed make disciple-makers. Through the Simple Discipleship website we provide:
The 32 Essential Laws of Discipleship is Tom's current project for a new book already registered by the U.S. Library of Congress. The release date has not been set but excerpts may be viewed at The Simple Discipleship @ Wordpress blog.
Simple Discipleship is dedicated to providing the best discipleship resources to ministries. Offering intimate, step-by-step strategy, Simple Discipleship presents ministries with a practical plan, while still giving leaders total freedom to contextualize the process for their specific church. In fact, we encourage church leaders to design a process in a way that "makes it their own."
Simple Discipleship has helped many church leaders through life coach training and discipleship resources. Don't hesitate; a Simple Discipleship and/or life coach certification could mean a revival for your church.
Contact email@example.com for more information on any of our offerings.
These are pdf samples of the first of the three Simple Discipleship message sets:
Included with each of the three are an example of a sermon outline file, corresponding PowerPoint file, and small group Bible study guide.
You are free to use these even if you make no other purchase.
Most evangelism training fails to change the behavior of Christians so that they intuitively share Jesus Christ. It just gets people excited and leads them to hope and wish that someday they might be able to be comfortable sharing their faith. Unfortunately, they rarely move out of their comfort zone of not sharing their faith. S.P.I.N. Evangelism is different because it teaches Christians how to share Christ with people of all behavior styles and to do so in a way that fits their own behavior style. S.P.I.N. Evangelism incorporates a method of asking questions that lead the witnessee to think about eternal things even after the evangelistic encounter. S.P.I.N. stands for Situation, Problem, Impact, and Need with questions progressively leading the witnessee toward considering a decision to receive Jesus Christ as Lord.
We also offer six online 1-hour weekly sessions to provide S.P.I.N. Evangelism training for $300.00.
Do you want to become a truly effective leader? Our NeXt LeVel coaching program is for you.
