But not moves that can recover 1/2 or more: Recover, Roost, Synthesis.. hp asked Dec 21, 2011 by Mewderator I believe this was already asked; but I cannot find it. Also, not including Wish right? Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 3 votes Best answer Alrighty! The highest fraction of HP you can receive with the aid of abilities and moves (excluding Synthesis and junk, etc.) is 7/16 of your Pokemon's total health with: a hold item Shell Bell (1/8 of the damage you dealt) * Abilitiy*: Ice Body during Hail (1/16) Baton Passed Aqua Ring (1/16) Ingrain (1/16) Leech Seed used (1/8) *Note: If you are able to do something along the lines of a ton ton of damage (similar to this question), I believe Shell Bell would be able to eventually heal you 100% health; making the other stuff obselete. That is all I can think of actually.

American Idol
star tells all about her life on tour with Alicia Keys
Special Offer
After Montreal, I spent a really crazy busy day in Toronto. You won't believe how much packed into my day. After having my hair and make-up done, this is kind of what my interview schedule looked like:
4:00 p.m.- Sympatico / MSN #1 online portal in Canada
4:15 p.m.- MuchMusic
4:45 p.m.- CTV Etalk (National CTV Entertainment Show, 1,000,000 viewers)
5:00 p.m.- MuchMusic MuchMoreMusic
5:30 p.m.- MuchMusic MuchOnDemand
6:00 p.m.- CHUM FM
6:55 p.m.- MIX99 (Toronto's #2 HOT AC)
7:40 p.m.- Z103.5 (Toronto's #1 CHR, #1 CHR in Canada,# 4 in North America)
8:00 p.m.- Return to Hotel
It was more like 9:30 p.m. when I got back to my hotel. It was still light outside and I was thrown off. But I had so much fun, and when I went to MuchMusic, they played my video during a commercial break. I turned around and had everyone start singing along...that was nice to hear. It's amazing that now people know the words to MY music. Life is definitely good.
Next, we headed to Auburn Hills, Michigan and Rosemont (Chicago), Illinois. Both shows were great. Alicia and I have been to a lot of the same venues I played during the Idol tour last summer, and I've been reminiscing. A significant event took place last year in Chicago, one of my really good friends and fellow contestant, Gina Glocksen, got engaged! It was so magical. We were all in the wings crying, hootin' and hollerin'. It was the sweetest thing! Her fiance went out on stage after her duet with another contestant, Phil, and told the whole audience how much he loved her and couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her. Now, I'm going to be a bridesmaid in her wedding!!!! I'm so excited!
After the Chicago show, I took a very early flight to New York. We headed straight for the hotel so we could quickly get to the Puerto Rican Day Parade. It was a frenzy! The only time I have seen that many people on 44th street was the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We had to walk to the hotel because all the streets were blocked off. Then, a cop wouldn't let me in! I kept telling him I had to get to the hotel and that I was a part of the parade, and he said he wouldn't let me in without a wristband or hotel key. I understood the first part because of how crazy it was, but when he asked if I had a hotel key, I was thinking, "WELL, I WOULD NEED TO GET TO THE HOTEL TO GET IT!" Jerk. Haha. I got to the hotel on time to get to the float. It was the purple and silver Power 105 float. My outfit matched it at first, but it was hotter than a biscuit out there! An "angel" went back to my hotel and got my shorts so I wouldn't die while I was on the float. (I LOVE YOU!) The float played "No Air" a couple times and I sang along to it and tried to get everyone to sing with me!
I'm not Puerto Rican, but being at that parade was really fun. I was so surprised at the response I got! Seeing how proud they were of their heritage was AMAZING. Thank you to those of you who stood outside in that heat ALL day. You made me want to stand up and shout...and I did.
I'm proud of where I came from, and I'M PROUD OF WHO I AM!

This is a Sichuan Takin that I photographed at the Wilds, near Zanesvill Ohio. A very endangered and interesting animal.

Yes silverylizard, it is a relatively rare animal. However, there are probably 5 or 6 zoos in the United States with them, and also at the Wilds! They remind me of Star Wars for some reason :)

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of
distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the
furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the
authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate
that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters.
Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of
the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers.
It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with
the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government.
The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at
meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior
achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences
to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examina-
tion of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the
responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to
be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of
medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute
of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916
to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of
furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with
general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating
agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering
in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering com-
munities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine.
Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the
National Research Council.

The intelligence community (IC) faces voluminous amounts of scientific
information produced and available on a global scale. To improve analysis of the
information, the Technology Warning Division (TWD) of the Defense Intelligence
Agency's (DIA's) Defense Warning Office (DWO) asked the National Research
Council (NRC), in 2004, to establish the Committee on Defense Intelligence
Agency Technology Forecasts and Reviews. That committee authored the report
Aoiding Surprise in an Era of Global Technology Adances.1 Aoiding Surprise
provided the IC with a technology warning methodology not previously available
to it and led the DIA to request that the NRC establish a standing committee to
continue to provide related assistance. In May 2005, the Standing Committee for
Technology Insight—Gauge, Evaluate, and Review (TIGER) was established to
assist the DWO of DIA in formulating future studies to be completed by NRC ad
hoc committees. This report of the ad hoc Committee on Military and Intelligence
Methodology for Emergent Neurophysiological and Cognitive/Neural Science
Research in the Next Two Decades is the third report to be produced under the
purview of the TIGER Standing Committee.2
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the committee members, the
staff of the DWO/TWD and their IC partners for their sponsorship and active
participation, and Angelique Reitsma of the University of Pennsylvania. We also

6 Bedroom Luxury Residence
A highly desirable and private tropical villa set in the Surin hills boasting panoramic sea views. Due to its excellent location, large size and "as new" condition, combined with a price that is well below market value, the property is likely to be one of the most sought-after private villas available on the island.
The villa is in excellent condition having been immaculately looked after by the original owner. The teak wood is beautifully maintained to marine standards. The villa also benefits from a very functional layout set over four levels. The central theme is oriented towards an alfresco lifestyle but maintains both formal dining and entertainment pavilions. With dramatic high cathedral ceilings, there is a feeling of expansive space that is reinforced by breath-taking panoramic views overlooking the sea.

The supports purchased work well and provide peace when trailering the boat knowing that the Outdrive will not drift down.

We have lost compassion for our fellow man, love for our neighbor. Gotta blame it on the horrific…Read More act of sucking out a defenseless baby's brains and/or ripping it apart, limb by limb, from it's mother's womb. Gotta think that if it is legal and obama and his fellow libs recently enacted the "botched abortion" law that protects a late term abortion provider from prosecution if a baby is taken from it's mother's womb and is still "moving", (alive), (in which case it will be placed in a darkened room for the hours or days it takes for it to draw it's last breath), any person with half a brain can connect the dots are realize that we do not respect life. And why bother with feelings of compassion and love if we are taught from an early age that we are to feel NOTHING about the horrific act of an abortion.
How many times do we read about someone finding a lifeless fetus, baby, in a toilet at some fast food place? Or about the teen who gave birth in her home and tossed the dead baby into the neighbor's yard. And was not prosecuted.
Yeah, we are loveless society.
Thanks libs.

Then when the show began it was WAY TOO LOUD! In the past I have had to ask the management to turn the volume down, but this time didn't want to miss the show. The room was small, so no need for this intensity, folks!
So, here's my chance to vent on this topic! Please see that the Theater managers get this. Thanks!

Headline: Deer Attacked By Dogs Ruin Maryland School Day
Posted by Brian Slupski , March 10, 2014 at 04:53 PM
Three deer were chased by dogs into a school in Maryland.
One deer died from its injuries and another was euthanized because it was so badly injured.
After reading this story and seeing the video I was deeply disturbed (some can even say I was deeply disturbed before watching the video :-)
This regrettable incident unfortunately supports a lot of the previous comments found in this forum regarding the damage that unleashed dogs can inflict in their community and also helps justify the judge's decision in the case we've all been discussing here.
I am not a happy camper. Wow! Deer are virtually so helpless against such aggression. Very disturbing indeed!
Let's see what will happen to the owners of these two (2) dogs.

Susan March 11, 2014 at 10:52 am
Speaking as someone who graduated several years ago and dealt with bullies all the time... the…Read More schools can't really do much. It comes down to individuals using common sense. Why do teachers continue to make kids work with kids who are clearly picking on them? Or letting them pick groups when the same kids are always left without one? Why aren't parents encouraged to actually discipline their kids? That sort of thing helps. Assemblies and pieces of literature mainly speak to the kids who won't bully anyway - not that they're not worth a try, if they reach out to ONE kid who might have been a bully otherwise it's worth it, but at the end of the day, the problem is pinpointing the problem, not painting it with a broad brush.
jim March 11, 2014 at 01:34 pm
"bullying" has become too much of a buzz word and its taking away from the real bullying…Read More victims. i watch a sport event and a coach yells at the ref and the media says is this coach a bully, no hes just an adult who cant control his temper.. chris christie involved in bridgegate is he a bully, no hes a corrupt politician... jonathan martin doesnt like the words and jokes that he willingly participates in, is richie incognito a bully, no the dolphins just have a very unprofessional work place.
bullying should apply to the ages 8-18, most kids are too innocent to be mean before 8, and after 18 you are an adult who can chose who you are surrounded by (work and colleges will discipline "bullys" otherwise they can be held legally responsible).
when i was a kid i was the youngest out of everyone at the park playing sports. older kids called me names and tried to intimidate me all the time. on sport teams the older kids would mess with the freshmen and sophomores, i didnt do it when i became the old one but many kids who used to get messed with freshmen and sophomore year would then treat the young kids the same way they were treated. it was a right of passage and it toughened you up. it prepared you for tougher competition. today what i went through (and everyone else my age or older) would be referred to as "bullying". i am thankful for older kids giving me a hard time because it helped shape me into a successful person with thick skin.
bullying is a kid or group of kids harassing and tormenting a kid who cant defend or stick up for themselves and it is awful for anyone to go through. however when "bullying" becomes such a buzz word and we want to realate every event into "bullying" it takes away from the REAL bullying problems and victims.

Though she wasn't successful she did have money and very well could have continued to do business. Contractor's usually don't workl but hire those who know how to do the work, and keep the profits.

Afer 5 years, all traces of carbon monoxide would have been long gone.

Why would a guy from a supply house be coming to fix your problem? That is scary to me.
Not at all. Grew up in a small town and moved to a big one. Have dealt with businesses in both that were smaller Mom and Pop type places who would have sold something like this if you walked in the door. They would also have offered to send someone out if you had a problem doing it yourself.In another tread you lament the passage of a bygone era (and the products produced) and in this one you apparently condemn the same people who were part of it (in your capacity). Take your pick, straddle the fence, but don't take both sides of it.
Your response makes no sense whatsoever. I don't even know how to reply. How does this have anything to do with the quality of products?I'm saying it's very odd for someone to come from a STORE to perform a skilled trade. I'd be very leery of letting them into my home. Are they qualified? Licensed? Bonded? INSURED? What happens if they get hurt?I think I'd check that out first.--If someone refers to herself / himself as a "guru", they probably aren't.
Same bygone era.Who said it was a "STORE" and not the front for their electrical business. Yes, they have parts and they will help you, but they will also send someone out.Why are you so negative about everything?
The OP said it was a store. What's so negative about warning someone that they could putting their property or finances in danger? I'd say that's positive, if anything.--If someone refers to herself / himself as a "guru", they probably aren't.
Yes, store of a bygone era. Been there since 1952 -- seriously, you think they are going to be a problem that needs to be warned about?
Electrical Service & Supply is a well qualified electrical contractor here in my hometown. You can also walk into their shop and buy things. I don't think that is all that uncommon.

You must have some killer rodents to chew all the way through the cord like that.I have one heavy duty outdoor extension cord that was attacked by animals. Close inspection of the cord found that for almost the entire unwound length of the cord there were thousands of fine punctures in the insulation (looked more like needle punctures then bite marks). I don't know what animal did that (squirrels and feral cats are common in my backyard) but whoever did it was very thorough. There are about 100 punctures in a one inch length of the cord and it seemed that this rate was the same for about 20 feet of it (most of the cord that was wound into a coil had been left alone). From a distance the cord looks fine, only up close you can see that the insulation has become very porous.--Got some spare cpu cycles ? Join Team Helix or Team Starfire!

Must I actually rip all my CDs before I can access them via Match?
I have yet to rip my CD collection, ie copy them all to a hard-drive.
Do I have to rip them in order to then tell Match I possess them? Or can I inform Match I have them, eg via a barcode reader, or even merely insert in the CD-drive without having to read the whole disc, which seems to be an un-neccesary requirement. It is a lot of work that I would like to avoid! In hope, dear thread (probably a forlorn hope? ) |

The true way is along a rope that is not spanned high in the air, but only just above the ground. It seems intended more to cause stumbling than to be walked along. |

Do what I did originally. I kept a stack of CDs next to the computer and ripped them as I was doing other stuff on the computer.
I grabbed a few artists specifically to do first, then I went in order. Also, when you don't have time to rip, you could let iTunes Match process what has been ripped already so it's available for other devices.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
A nice deep brown with not much transparency. Served to me with about a finger thick of thin head that left good lacing throughout the beer.
The beer has a nice roasty malt smell. There is also a nice earthy, hoppy tones to the beer. The taste is very similar with a nice crisp roasty taste. The body is a medium build with slight carbonation.
I am usually not a fan of beers with considerable hop to them, but this beer is an exception. The roasty malt and earthy hops are balanced really well, which leads to a refreshing beer.

500ml bottle bought from The Lighthouse, Jordanstown
Poured a deep mahogany nutty brown colour. Nice creamy tan head poured very tight, thick and foamy with a whipped meringue like topping then faded fairly quickly to decent thick covering. No carbonation at all... some light lacing...
Aroma - Lots of roasted chocolate malts, tobacco smoke notes, strong peppery and grassy hops, roasted (maybe slightly charred ?) nuttiness, strong nutmeg spiciness, some anise, black coffee, woody hints, creosote traces, dark dried fruits (raisins and currents)...
Taste - Big grassy and earthy hop bitterness up front followed by lots of (charred) roasted malts, some pine notes, spicy dark fruits (raisins, dates, plums), dark chocolate, light smokiness, roasted nuttiness, light treacle sweetness...
M&D - Pretty sharp and dry... medium bodied... Pretty drinkable for 7.5%
Overall - A pretty decent brown ale although i prefer mine a little more malty than hoppy... definitely recommended though...

500 ml bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours very dark brown with an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like nuts, toasted malt, caramel, molasses, chocolate and some dark bread. It tastes like nuts, molasses, dark bread, caramel and roasted malt, and some dark fruit and coffee. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's smooth and creamy and has moderate carbonation. I think it's a good brew overall, I'd buy it again. $8.49 a bottle.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #63 (Apr 2012):
LOOK: Nearly black, thick lacing
SMELL: Unsweetened dark chocolate, burnt bread crust, fig sugar, floral, alcohol, earthy, freshly spent coffee grounds
TASTE: Sweet, medium body, semi-crisp, figs, cocoa powder, citric pith, hop bitterness, brown malt, nectarine pits, earthy yeast, toffee, black walnuts, blueberry skin, toasted bread, porridge
A big brew for sure, balanced and does not have any intention of being a burden on the palate in any manner. Does it really need that Imperial tag? It is the world we live in right? You'll want to sip this one slow not because of the strength but the long story it wants to tell as it opens up.

A: Deep brown with a long lasting beige head.
S: Toasty, nutty, chocolately, very nice. There is a metallic element here that detracts from greatness.
T: I'm not sure I would describe this as imperial, but its a very nice brown ale with a great balance of roasted and caramel elements.

Very nice beer.

500 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours very hazy nearly pitch black color with a nice 2 finger dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of caramel, molasses, toast, toffee, light roast, light chocolate, dark bread, floral, light dark fruits, light pine, and toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malty notes with slight hops; with good strength. Taste of caramel, molasses, toast, toffee, dark bread, light roast, light chocolate, floral, light pine, and toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, molasses, toast, toffee, dark bread, light roast, light chocolate, floral, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of toasted malt flavors with light hops; with nice robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very creamy and moderately slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent imperial brown ale. All around nice balance, complexity, and robustness of flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Pours with a nice silky smooth half inch light brown head....beer itself is very dark brown...lacing is about average for this type of heavy beer...its well pronounced and clings to the sides of the glass...
Aroma is a nice malty hit of roasted barley, toffee and raisins...no noticeable aroma of any hops...seeing as this is a brown ale i suppose that is to be expected..
Taste is very well rounded, rich and smooth, roasted malts semi sweet with a nice underlying solid bitterness which follows through to a nice finish....nice!
Mouth feel is very smooth, well bodied and well carbonated with a nice champagne bubbly effervescence on the tongue with each mouthful which helps make the whole drinking experience of this beer feel very refined and satisfying....
I will definitely buy this beer again..top quality heart-warming lovely stuff!

M - Medium thick body, moderate carbonation, and a balanced finish.
D - Wow, quite a collection of dark sugar flavors with a combination of smoke, coffee, and sugar that makes this more of a breakfast beer than pretty much any other I have ever had.

Billy Ward & the Dominoes
Billy Ward & the Dominoes
The Dominoes (also sometimes known as Billy Ward & the Dominoes) had one of the finest musical pedigrees of any R&B vocal group of the 1940s, at least based on its founder's training and experience. A lots of R&B acts came out of a gospel background, and Bo Diddley even studied violin as a boy, but rare is the R&B vocal group whose founder was trained at Juilliard. Billy Ward (born September 19, 1921, Los Angeles) had a minister father and a musician mother, and was a musical prodigy as a child, schooled in classical music theory and composition as well as performance. Before he was in his teens, Ward was good enough on the organ to play at his father's services and he won a composition award at age 14 from Walter Damrosch, the celebrated New York music educator, composer, and administrator. Following his military service during World War II, Ward studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, where he later became a voice coach; he also began working on Broadway during the late '40s. It was from the ranks of his ex-students that he recruited the original members of the Dominoes: Clyde McPhatter as lead singer, Charlie White (tenor), Joe Lamont (baritone), and Bill Brown (bass). The Dominoes won a series of talent contests, including a competition on the television show Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, which got them a lot of engagements and an audition with Ralph Bass, the head of the newly established Federal Records label, part of Syd Nathan's King Records, during the final months of 1950. The Dominoes, with McPhatter's high tenor lead, had a startlingly fresh sound and enjoyed a number six R&B hit in early 1951 with one song from their first session, "Do Something for Me." It was in May of that year that the group broke through to the top of the R&B charts with "Sixty Minute Man," which also established them as one of the leading crossover acts between gospel and blues. Riding the wave of demand for their performances off of that hit -- one of the first great double-entendre records of the '50s and a very early example of what would be considered a "rock & roll" record -- the group spent the next seven months on the road, building up a lot of public good will and a reputation as one of the top R&B acts of the era.

FOUR HUNDRED YEARS of History for North Carolina -indeed for the Nation- begins around the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. From Sir Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony to existing homes that stood decades before the Revolutionary War to modern-day river towns, this is a land of rich heritage.
The mainland towns that line its rivers and estuaries are a microcosm of American history. From first exploration by English colonists in 1584 to protestation against British tyranny in 1774 to invasion by the Union Army during the Civil War, the Albemarle has played a role in just about every major event in American history.

After winning 15 straight sets in volleyball, the Lady Eagles looked as if they might get their first loss of the season after dropping the first sets against Meeker Saturday. "Boy, that was scary," said head coach Krista Carsten after Paonia found themselves down, 2-0.
"I don't think we were ready to play when we stepped on the floor. Meeker was definitely ready."
Meeker had an answer to almost everything they put over the net, said Carsten.
Paonia had a negative hitting percentage in the first set.
That's something this year's team isn't used to, said senior outside hitter Carson Pipher. "They brought more competition than we've seen recently. I think we were really excited, not relaxing and just playing."
After losing the second match, 25-21, Coach Carsten told her players, "'You guys can choose how you want to respond to that.' They realized that they have the power to do that and control the outcome of the game."
After that, timing and hitting improved and the team was able to run its offense, said Pipher. "That is where our strength is this season." Pipher said Easton Hartigan sparked momentum with a couple of big hits, and they started winning. Paonia finished three straight wins (25-12, 25-15, 25-10).
Pipher, one of two starting seniors for Paonia, had 18 kills for the match.
She has struggled with timing her entire high school year, said Carsten. But now she's got it down. "She always wants to swing hard, but she's starting to recognize when not to. She sees that."
On a team replete with power hitters, Pipher stands out. This season she averages almost four kills per set. "We feed her a lot of balls," said Carsten. "She's that go-to player for us."
And while she focuses on her offense, Pipher also stands out on defense, averaging more than three digs per set. "She's quick on defense," said Carsten. "She makes it look easy."
In addition to playing at outside hitter, in five of their six rotations Pipher, along with Easton and Morgan Hartigan, covers the back row. Against Meeker they made 42 of the team's 46 serve receives, with four errors, allowing the offense to do its work. "They're great passers," said Carsten. "All three of those kids are competitors."
Easton Hartigan leads the team in serve receives with 111 — 33 of which she made Saturday. Hartigan ended the match with 13 kills, and had 33 of the team's 82 serve receptions with four errors.
Sophomore Jessie Holt continued her strong serving game, completing 18 serves with no errors against Meeker. Holt has had just one service error in 107 serves this season.
Meeker deserves a lot of credit, said Carsten. "They played a heck of a game."
On Sept. 10 Paonia defeated Norwood in straight sets (25-20, 25-16, 25-21). "It had been a pretty emotional couple of days for the team with the events of the Cedaredge tragedy," said Carsten. Norwood played consistent volleyball, but "We were able to hold it together to pick up the win."
After placing fourth at state in 2012, Pipher said this year's team is better than they were last year. "I feel like we're as strong as we were at state," she said. "We still have lots to learn, a long way to go."
Being down two matches was a good reminder, "To expect great things from every team," said Pipher. "We need to come out strong."
