As a parent of a fourth-grader and a third-grader at Isaac Dickson Elementary School, I was extremely disappointed to read some of the comments made by it's principal, Brad Johnson ["Building Knowledge," Feb. 27 Xpress].
He refers to the possibility of a brand-new school as, "Kind of a centerpiece for Asheville."
A school needs to be safe, functional and an environment where children can learn, grow and thrive. It is not a fountain, monument or table-setting — so it's certainly not a "centerpiece."
Then, when asked about the current condition of the school, he states that the grounds lack the safety of a fence buffering the students from a nearby homeless encampment. What! Is there a homeless conspiracy to abduct our children that I'm not aware of? Children need to be taught to be cautious of all strangers, and not just the ones who cannot afford downtown real estate and may not look presentable enough for people like Brad Johnson.
We want our educators, particularly our leaders in education, to teach empathy, compassion and tolerance. A physical, spiritual or mental wall is not the answer. There is no doubt that the school and the legacy of Isaac Dickson are moving forward toward a bright and exciting future. The question is, are the right people in place to lead our children in that journey?

Acting for the Horror Genre
Acting Horror
Serious horror films require just as much preparation for a role as other genres. It's imperative that the audience believes in the world of the film. The believability of your character is an integral portion of that believable world.
Do your research. Ask yourself the following: What lies at the emotional core of your character? What motivates him/her? Why does he do the actions s/he does (pay particular attention to scenes where s/he puts him/herself in danger)?
Back to TopActing with Blood...and Other Scary Things
Remember that any horror film you are acting in is a world that needs to come across as believable. True, it's not every day that you might get stabbed in the heart or have your friend's head fall in your lap, but it is your job as an actor to make these moments as real as possible.
You may wish to take a few moments before filming a particularly gory scene to meditate on the darkness of what is about to occur. Imagine what it might be like to step onto that set and actually lose your life...or see someone else lose his/hers.
Once that meditation has ended, however, forget it. You don't want to anticipate the dramatic moments once the cameras are rolling. Trust that the energy you called up during meditation will resurface when the time is right.
Back to TopHorror Acting: Calm Before the Storm
One of the biggest elements of horror films is the shock factor. As an actor, you can learn to use this convention to your advantage. In most horror films, there is a scene that seems relatively benign, or a scene that begins calmly. Don't ignore the importance of this peacefulness. If anything, you should play the calmness to its fullest potential. The calmer you are in the scene, the bigger the pay-off will be when the shocking action occurs.
Back to TopHow to Scream
Believe it or not, many actors have a terrible time screaming convincingly. Acting in horror films almost always requires some sort of noise of distress at some point or another...usually it comes in the form of a scream. Here are a few tips to make yours a better one.
The Warm-up:
- Go far away from other people.
- Take a deep breath through your nose, filling your lungs. Feel your diaphragm lower.
- Drop your jaw open.
- Exhale through your mouth in one long forceful (but silent) ha-aaa.
- Repeat two or three times.
The Scream:
- Go far away from other people.
- Take a deep breath through your nose, filling your lungs. Feel your diaphragm lower.
- Drop your jaw open.
- Exhale through your mouth in one long forceful (but silent) ha-aaa.
- Repeat two or three times.
An important note: Screaming is very bad for your vocal cords. Be sure to drink fluids (preferably warm) before and after you need to scream.
Back to TopPlaying Dead
Nothing ruins the magic of a horror film than being able to see the dead guy breathing. It happens, though. After long hours and many takes, the actor playing the newly-killed often is not aware when the camera is on him. Something as small as a breath can ruin the integrity of the entire film. Should you have to die in a film, here's how to make sure you are not the cause of the film's demise:
- Always know when the camera is rolling, and when you are in the shot.
- When your "body" is part of the scene and the scene's length is too long for you to hold your breath, take slow, shallow breaths.
- Stay focused on keeping your breathing in your neck and throat. Of course, your lungs will be working, but this visualization on your part will help keep your chest cavity from moving.
Suspense & Psychological Thrillers
Suspense films and psychological thrillers require a bit more subtlety than horror acting. Much of the time, the very nature of a horror film is to go over-the-top with fantastical elements and gore. Your acting can and should stay true to the feel of the film itself.
In suspense and thrillers, what frightens the audience is not the shock value of blood and guts, but the deeper fear hidden within our own minds. Investigate the deeper essences of our character and look in particular for pockets of fear in him/her that you can bring to your portrayal. Find his/her neuroses and discover where in the film they can be played for maximum benefit.
Back to TopUsing Your Imagination
Oftentimes, actors need to act opposite things that are not there. This is particularly true for horror films that may have CGIs (Computer Generated Images) as monsters. In these scenes, you must rely on your imagination to create your scene partner.
As the director of the film to give you an idea of what this creature will look like. Try to get a hold of some sketches or models so that you have a better idea of how to react to it on-screen. The more you know about the creature, the more realistically you can react to it (or where it will later be placed by the film's graphics team).

Kit Lets Parents Discover Baby's Gender Early
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Imagine if you didn't have to wait for an ultrasound at 18-20 weeks to find out the sex of your baby. What if you could find out at 10 weeks? Would you start painting or decorating the nursery with the extra headstart?
According to the CBS Early Show, a Texas-based company has created an at-home test kit product called "IntelliGender," which can apparently determine the sex of a fetus in 10 minutes. Though a simple urine sample test (retail cost approx. $30), the company claims expectant parents can get results that are up to 90% accurate.
If you could find out the sex of your baby at 10 weeks, would it change the course of your welcoming-baby preparations? Would you even want to know the sex at 10 weeks?

I'm assuming this is ATT's problem?
How about you guys, any problem? - 12-13-2012, 12:47 PM #2
I had this problem last night for about six hours. I thought it was the MetroTalk update, but eventually figured out it wasn't. It cleared up around 12:30am, 1am here in Indiana. My girlfriend's iPhone was also down for visual voicemail at the same time we discovered. So, def an AT&T thing.
Okay, thanks guys. Just want to make sure it's not my device that is faulty. lol.

Week of: | 09-19-2011 |
We thought we were nervous for try-outs! HA! As soon as we drove up to the main entrance to Sony Studios then we REALLY got nervous. We had no idea what to expect. All I knew is when we woke up that day I looked at my brother and I said, "You know we go this right? We are going to win this whole thing!" Anyhow, we arrive and get escorted to the studio. We got our rules and regulations out of the way and then we were off to make-up and rehearsal. Who would have thought all that goes into making a game show! After make-up, we all got to practice spinning the Wheel. HELLO that Wheel weighs 1,000 pounds! There is no way I could spin that so I told Neil that's all him. Next everyone had to draw their turns. Neil and I were picked for the 4th round. Man, waiting for your turn seemed like a life time, but when it came to ours we were ready! Nervous, but still confident, we took our places. From the moment Neil touched that Wheel we were on FIRE! Every single turn almost every single puzzle was in our favor. We lost one round, but it was great to see someone else win something too.
We did so awesome! When we won the 2 trips to Turks and Caicos we both were screaming in excitement! I then leaned over to my brother and said, "Where in the world is Turks and Caicos?!" He mumbled back to me, "I have no idea!" but we still continued jumping up and down. Thrilled! Not to mention the money we won along the way. Well, we ended up making it to the Bonus Round. That was the only Wheel I could spin because it was a tiny version of the big Wheel. Any how, I spun for us and the puzzle came up, but we couldn't figure it out. Oh well! We pretty much won the whole entire game so we definitely weren't unhappy about losing the Bonus Round.
Overall, this was an experience that will always be remembered. Not only was it an honor to be on the show, it was also a bonding experience for both my brother and I. We are so forever thankful and grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much Wheel of Fortune!

Feng Shui bats is said to help attract prosperity and help from powerful people in times of crisis.
Bats are a symbol of prosperity in Feng Shui. Considered an enhancer for wealth, the sound of the word for bat in Chinese, "fook" is very similar to the word for prosperity "fuk."Contrary to the bat's association in Western culture with monsters and darkness, bats in Chinese culture are considered very auspicious good luck charms with the ability to scare off evil or negative energies.
Bat's highly developed sensory skills are believed to be useful in picking-up on and drawing good chi. They are known for their abilities to navigate confidently through the dark to discover the resources they need to survive and build and prosper in great colonies. It is very common to see bats decorating objects in Chinese cultures, their presence though to invite abundance and offer security.
Ancient emperors and rulers in China had bat symbols embroidered onto their silk robes and sometimes even their thrones to serve as status symbols of great wealth and income. The image of the bat would be combined with other symbols of wealth and prosperity like the dragon or crane, to offer a coveted and joyful lucky garment or object to their owners.
From legends it is passed down that deep in the cave of the mountains of China are bats who lived for a thousand years off of their own breath and eating stalactites. From living off of their own strong energy and eating this powerful earth element they turned silvery in color. Bats is believed to be able to share this long life and skill in harnessing resources with those they encounter.
Here are some Feng Shui cures commonly used with the bat:
- Place the bat behind where you sit at your workplace desk. This will draw the energy of good fortune and prosperity toward you, while deterring any negative energy.
- Bats can be displayed on the walls of many rooms of your home such as the bedroom, kitchen or library or even in your vehicle for added protection and prosperity luck.
- Displaying the bat symbol prominently in your central hallway or next to the front door is said to help boost both your prosperity and your success in career pursuits.
- Hang them on the outside of your door or window is believed to help ward off disease and help those suffering from great illness.
- In feng shui bagua formula, place the bat in the Northwest sector of your home, the zone of mentor luck. It will help to attract a benefactor or mentor to guide you on your way to your next stage of success in life or help from powerful people in times of crisis. This is called the energy of Gui Ren or nobleman luck.
Bats are often depicted in one of several ways. Very common is the visual placement of 5 bats together or near one another to summon wu fu, the auspicious energy of the Five Blessings. These blessings are wellness, prosperity, satisfying relationships, good character and a natural death from old age. These blessings are said to be the beginning of eternal joy and enlightenment.
Bats are also often shown biting a gold coin in their mouth, to enhance their symbolism as wealth bringers. Finally bats are also sometimes displayed alongside flowers. This contrasts their male Yang energy with the that of the feminine Yin of the flowers to create a sense of balance and harmony in the space. However you decide to place a bat into your home, as a symbol it is well known for increasing good luck and prosperity luck.

Peaceful Place – This is a quaint establishment. It's clean and immaculate. It's a family run business and the owners really care about leaving you feeling your best. Since it's under new ownership they haven't quite found the best fitting staff, so it's best to make an appointment, that way you know you'll be taken care of.
Therapy – I LOVE Celeste Day Spa, what a serene place. It's so clean and just feels up lifting the moment we walk in the door.
I go once a month with my friends- of course we just have to get our favorite Pedicures, every lady loves to show off her cute toes! And the most relaxing and therapeutic massage ever. Seriously I have gotten a lot of massages from overpriced up-scale to china town specials and NO ONE is better than Celeste. She is like an angel from another realm - what a healer! Even my boyfriend will go for a deep tissue after a hard game.
Whenever my family comes in from NY we always be sure to make a stop at Celeste Day spa for a full day of pampering, nails, facials, massages. It's a great little spa with wonderful people and perfect prices. Go there, you'll love it.
Unlicensed massage therapist – I got the name of the owner (Gloria but she uses the name Celeste now) on sunbiz and went on the site for the florida department of health to check massage therapist licenses where I found out that she is not licensed for massage but only for facials. She said that what she does mostly is massage and mostly on MEN. Celeste's real name is Gloria and she is listed on sites for erotic massage. Be sure to do your research before someone touches you!!!
She is very rude, loud, unprofessional and tacky. I would never go back there.
Facial was very basic with no concern for my overall skin care and facialist wears so much makeup she looks like a clown.
Manicurist was very loud and talked about herself the whole time. No one was at the front desk. My whole package was disorganized and not relaxing. Spa is too noisy I could hear Gloria/Celeste's loud laugh and voice the whole time I was getting my facial plus it sounded like a machine running during my unlicensed massage. Stay away!!!!!!!!
Lip touch up. Very reasonable price. Even though it was painful, I walked out alive and satisfied.
one hour prenatal massage by Celeste and a manicure/pedicure by Gia. Both were great. My tension headache are gone and my hands and feet look and feel great.

When Bradley Tech, a troubled Milwaukee public high school, had to be locked down and receive massive police support to stop a fight involving gang members and kids from other schools, the most important issue is not about the school, the 18 arrests, the gangs, the fight, or the police response. It's about having no public information about the incident, which occurred on Nov. 30, until a statement was dragged out of the police department a week later, as rumors and questioned reached the press and political leaders.
For background:
Similar patterns of significant crimes that only come to light weeks after the fact have occurred since the Milwaukee Police Department's encrypted radio system, OpenSky, went into full production use early in 2010. The problem is that, post-OpenSky, MPD has left no way for the media or anyone else to follow what squads are doing, within reasonable parameters, as used to be the case. Going from police scanners to nearly nothing was a major disruption to public information access and crucial information flows in and outside of the city government.
Now, when a major incident fails to attract immediate media notice and no MPD statement is forthcoming, victims, witnesses or second and third-hand sources tend to generate inquiries and exposes a week or two later, when the media and politicians get involved. This has become a repetitive and counterproductive cycle for the entire metropolitan community.
There are technological solutions possible, but none have been proposed until today, when MPD suggested that the 911 dispatch webpage with brief call type summaries on the MPD website is all the press needs. Is it really MPD's position that this is all the press needs?
In other words, does a line of text that says "fight" with a location given like "4th and Bruce" do the job? This line of text appears only for a brief period of time and is not retrievable later. It appears somewhere within 5 screens of similar summaries. Is this really adequate public notice? Are journalists supposed to refresh their browsers all day watching these pages, instead of expecting a statement from MPS or MPD when many squads are called to stop a fight in a school and make arrests? On numerous occasions, the entire dispatch page has gone offline without warning, sometimes over long holiday weekends.
MPD claims that "All dispatched calls for police service are posted, with a 30-minute delay, on the Milwaukee Police Department Website under the Dispatched Calls for Police Service Tab." In fact the dispatch page itself actually says the calls are those made by 911 dispatch operators and the delay is 30-90 minutes. Previously it has been stated by MPD that some calls may be withheld longer in special cases, and 911 dispatch operators are not the only source of calls for service. Squads can be sent to locations by non-emergency operators and probably other channels, so it's unclear what is and is not being shown.
In the specific case of Bradley Tech on the 30th, was a 911 call made? Was a 911 call made that resulted in a dispatch? If a code red or lockdown is issued by a school, does this involve dispatch logs that go on the MPD website?
A national crime-mapping website, SpotCrime.com, harvests all data it is able to collect from MPD's dispatch page and has no entries pertaining to Bradley Tech for the 30th. Usually it is a reliable, permanent record of what has been posted by MPD, but even it is a very limited solution to the void of timely information about police activity.
This was first posted at the RJI News Collaboratory.Unfortunately, when I first asked these questions (in shorter form) on MPD's Facebook page, they were deleted. The situation has reached a point where I think there is motivation now to independently create applications to provide the data and accessibility needed to really function in the public interest. I am interested in hearing from anyone who is aware of similar situations in other cities, and how they were dealt with.
In the FY 2011 Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies
Appropriations Requests, there is a $1 Million request for the Major
Cities Chiefs of Police Association which would be used to purchase
services from CrimeReports.com.
CrimeReports.com is a private company that makes contracts with
municipal police forces to provide their crime data to the public on
the CrimeReports.com website--but according to the PDs' specifiations.
In the process, the public information that the source crime data is
may seem to become more accessible, but this is not the case.
CrimeReports is contending in a current federal case that public crime
data becomes CrimeReports' own proprietary product in the form
provided on CrimeReports.com. (See links below and The Citizen Media
Law Project's article, "Public Engines to World: Look, But Don't Touch
the Crime Data"
In this view it would be technically illegal for someone to duplicate
or republish material from CrimeReports.com by other means, which many
PDs may use as their sole or primary means of providing public access
to crime data. (It is not access to data, it is access to a limited
representation of some data.) This is not only bad for public and
media oversight, it is bad for technologists who wish to tap public
data for research and applications.
From the appropriations document:
Project: The National Crime Map Expansion
Amount: $1,000,000
Purpose: The National Crime Map currently includes more than 800 law
enforcement agencies across the country; its aim to make incident
level crime data available to the general public at the neighborhood
level within 24 hours of occurrence.
Location: Draper, Utah
Recipient of Funds: Major Cities Chiefs of Police Association
Explanation/Justification: Very few members of the public have ready
access to street level crime information on a timely basis. This
funding will allow any law enforcement agency in the United States to
connect to the existing National Crime Map, CrimeReports.com.
Currently, more than 800 agencies have already joined at an average
total cost of $110 per month. Through this funding, CrimeReports.com
will be able to expand the map and drop the cost of integrating and
deploying the system to roughly $20/month per agency, regardless of
size, population served, or members of the community served. In
contrast, cities that build their own portals spend $50,000 - $100,000
per agency to implement local crime maps.
Further reading:
James Charlesworth at Neboweb in Atlanta, GA built this site for people living in Atlanta. The site is a great step towards open information in the area and will help locals identify crime history by neighborhood. The site is:
The MetLife Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation are partnering for the eighth year to recognize, sustain, and share the work of innovative partnerships between community groups and police that promote neighborhood safety and revitalization.
Awardees will receive cash grants ranging from $15,000 to $25,000 each. Case studies about award-winning partnerships will be disseminated throughout the community development and law enforcement industries. Previous winners have used award money to pay for special patrols, trainings, and equipment for officers.
Grants will be awarded in two categories. Neighborhood Revitalization Awards (six grants of $15,000 to $25,000 each) celebrate exemplary collaboration between community groups and police that result in crime reduction as well as economic development activity, including real estate development, business attraction, and job growth. Special Strategy Awards (six awards of $15,000 each) will be given to community and police partners that have achieved significant accomplishments in applied technology, aesthetics and greenspace improvement, diversity, inclusion and integration, drug market disruption, gang prevention and youth safety, or seniors and safety.
Further information and a link to the full Request for Proposals is available at the LISC Web site.

Mobile-Web Publishing Platform Mojaba Integrates SinglePlatform to Deliver Rich Content for Smartphone-Optimized Websites
DES MOINES, Iowa, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Torsion Mobile, creator of Mojaba, today announced an integration with SinglePlatform from Constant Contact®, Inc. The resulting integration allows Mojaba customers to enhance their mobile website and update critical business information by delivering rich content, like menus or photos, seamlessly through SinglePlatform. This information will be automatically updated on their Mojaba website, as well as across the rest of SinglePlatform's publishing partner network.

"Consumers are using their mobile devices as the go-to place for information about buying decisions," said Christian Gurney, co-founder and president of Torsion Mobile, based in Des Moines. "With over 50% of American mobile subscribers owning smartphones, it's important to make quality information about a business available through SinglePlatform. This integration makes it incredibly easy to meet consumer demand for information and convenience all in the palm of their hand."
"With SinglePlatform, our users can easily manage their online and mobile presence, bringing a valuable addition to our core services," adds Gurney.
"Finding new customers is one of the biggest things that keeps merchants up at night, and today that means being front and center as consumers turn to their phones to get information and find the right business to meet their needs," said Wiley Cerilli, vice president and general manager of SinglePlatform from Constant Contact. "We're thrilled that the integration of Mojaba provides our customers with another opportunity to get easily discovered."
Once a user connects their SinglePlatform and Mojaba accounts, they can use all the information they have in SinglePlatform to develop a robust mobile website without the need to program or engage a web developer. SinglePlatform gives small businesses a single place to update their critical business information and delivers that information across its publishing partner network, as well as the business's social media profiles, website, and mobile site. It makes a business listing more than an address and phone number by adding the rich content that consumers want when they are searching for information – such as digital menus, products, pricing, and services.

With the growth of mobile web, it's more important than ever that websites scale and work well on tablets, smartphones, and desktop computers alike.

Think before you accept JOB at GSI Call Center
Posted in the Darien Forum
Saint Simons Island, GA |
This place has to be in a deal with the DOL. They hired all these people, train them and then no one gets 40 hours a week because they are Seasonal Employees.
Lets see: GSI gets Tax breaks for hiring all these people. The people are OFF unemployment now. They go to work and after a few hours they are sent home because the phones at GSI are not ringing. It is not benificial to the employee who drives 30 - 45 miles to work at the price of gas, to get sent home every day after coming into work for a few hours. GSI will not just give them a whole day to take off, they want you to QUIT, that way you can not get unemployment again because YOU QUIT the job. They still got their Tax Breaks because they hired you and the State looks good because you are now off of unemployment. So in short: If you go to work for GSI CALL CENTER you get the raw end of the deal. So before you descide to accept a job at GSI, talk to some of the employees that got hired and are getting screwed everyday. |
You've got it right. Only the lucky ones get to keep their jobs and pretend like they are making it. GSI pay is shit, now we're bought out by Ebay things may change. If you need part time work it is the best deal in Brunswick. Not that that is saying much...
Saint Simons Island, GA |
I have filed a complaint with the DOL. This company is UNREAL. They have all these people hired but yet send them home after a couple of hours of work and still hire more people. Last week they put 80+ more employees to work just to get them off unemployment and to get the tax breaks that are given to employers that hire someone. Someone said it was $ 5000.00 per person, so they should be doing well for themselves by now. I was hired for seasonal FULL TIME and have not made more than 19 hours in a 2 week period since completing training. What is wrong with this picture.??? So much for them being a fortune 500 company.but I guess it adds up collecting 5k for everyone you get off unemployment and hired and not work them.
they have crazy rules and if you ever need help no one is around so you had better just show up early and make sure you know everything and make sure you make friends with the right people if you want to get any hours cause they will screw you every chance they get I have been told nothing but bad things from the place
Judged: 2 1 So in summation: If you are not a whiny brat, and you are ok with good pay, you dont mind doing some actual work that these guys would pass up, and you actually have some manners and are thankful to have a job in this economy, you will obviously surpass others that feel it is beneath them. |
Judged: 1 They even let you work from home if you want to. I enjoyed working at GSI and only resigned to accept a more lucrative offer in my chosen profession. |
Prostitution or radio announcer? |
United States |
My mom has worked at GSI for 5 years now. She isn't paid an enormous amount but she makes enough to get by. She was hired seasonal and temporary to start. She went in did her job and did not get involved with all the drama. She has survived all of the post peak season lay offs because she was great to the customers and like I said before did not get involved the all the other mess. She likes her position there and does not understand why it is so hard for people to stay with the company. Everyone on here who posted negative things about this company need to step back and re evaluate what happened to you and what the real reason for your dismissal was. Was it adherence? That means you weren't responsible enough to follow a schedule. Your Fault. Stop wallowing in self pity and start posting resumes and get a job.
I can understand the gripe about unemployment but GSI is still one of the best employers in town.
I work for GSI and I dont see where the problem is, I actually working there in this is my first time ever working for them I really don't see what the problem is about the job. I mean its your job to know the information in to also make a great impression they tell you everything you need to do to make it to the end. In if you are good they will keep you your QUALITY REALLY PAYS OFF AT THE END....
GSI sucks
All that person said how they write you up it not like that it verb than written than you out the door ha
How do you apply? I went to the website and couldn't find anything. I don't care for the negative comments, I need a job and I know I'm capable of becoming full time. Anyone?

On several occasions I have had to convert a group of lines to polylines but had to select and convert each line one after the other. Instead of one after another is there a way or a command to select all the lines and convert them as group into polylines?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Type pedit, select multiple, pick all of the lines you want to convert, type Y when asked if you want to convert them to polylines, exit command.
Even easier (if you are on 2012 or later - or was it 2011?); Grab the lines and type J at the command line.
and get what?
I'm left with lines. Is there more to it?
To convert the lines into polylines, they have to be touched end to end . the pedit command will turn the series of lines into one pline, not multiple
Surveyor Lee
Thats only to join them. PEDIT M will convert a collection of geometry
and if you want to do some cleanup don't forget you have the Map3D-functionality included, therefor the command _MAPCLEAN (>>>details<<<) can help a lot!

Rules of the Game
There will be around 20 Pokémon at the beginning of every set. You will vote off your least favourite, and you will have ONE vote PER ROUND. Breaking this rule will cost you your vote for the round. You may change your vote, but you may only do it once per round, and you must state what your old vote is in the post. Then, the Pokémon who has the most votes at the end of the round is eliminated. All posts in this thread must relate strictly to the current events of the game, and if we deem a post as too off-topic or unrelated, the poster will receive up to a one week ban from the thread.
The Pokémon that wins the set gets added to the Winners Circle! When there are ten Pokémon in the Winners Circle, the same type of thing will happen. Once a winner is decided, it goes into the "Hall of Fame". Once 10 of that is made, it get's added to "Serebii.net Favourite".
If you want to see exactly how this game works, you can visit the previous two Survivor Games here or here.
Special Rounds
Now, this game would be no fun if you voted off Pokémon the same way round after round. So, there are a few special rounds that get added into the game to make things interesting. Here they are:
Finals - This is when two Pokémon are left. When this happens you have to be clear if you want the certain one to win or lose. If it is not clear enough, it will not be counted.
Twist Round - If one of the owners/co-owners puts in size 5 text, bolded, and underlined anything that has "twist" in its name that means there was the same amount of votes for two or more Pokémon. Then, both Pokémon get eliminated.
Saved Round - Once per game, at a random point, this will occur. Where you vote for your favorite Pokémon that is still in and the Pokémon with the most votes will be immune from voting against until the top 3. At the top 3, it will come back, and create the top 4.
Double Down Round - This round can occur at any time, at any point, excluding winner's circle and it can occur more than once a set. Here, you must vote for two Pokémon, but the rules still apply that the Pokémon with the most votes is out, though it is likely that there will be a twist.
Prediction Time - This round occurs during every first round of a set. In addition to your regular vote on who you want out, you predict who you think will win the entire set. If a person predicts correctly, they have the ability to automatically eliminate any Pokémon of their choice until the Top 10 begins. If multiple people predict correctly, they vote on who should be eliminated. You cannot participate if you can predict the future.
Abandon Round - This round can only occur before the Top 15. Instead of voting for your least favourite Pokémon, you select your favourite one, and that Pokémon is saved from elimination and cannot be selected by any other voter. When only one Pokémon in the set has not been selected, that one is eliminated. You may not switch your selection.

The most popular boy in school falls for the least popular boy in school
Hi, my name is Daxus Richards and this is how I went from being an outcast to being one of the most popular kids in Clearfield Area High School. "Tell him," my best friend Zoe was telling me. "I can't." "Why not?" she asked. "How do I even know he's bi? Or even gay?" "You never know if you don't try." "I know that!"

As I exited the booth I saw three men watching and one turned and commented to the others. A twinge of self-consciousness flashed through me as I realized what, and who, they were talking about. I tried to be casual and walked slowly down the dim hallway, glancing at the posters on the doors of the other booths as I passed.

Secretary Matt Schultz reminds schools of redistricting deadline
Secretary of State Matt Schultz announced today that the statutory deadline of May 15th, 2012 for certain school districts to file director district plans is rapidly approaching.

Each applicable school district must file a director district map, a worksheet certifying the population of each district, and a board resolution adopting the director district boundaries with the Secretary of State's office.
The boundaries become effective July 1st, 2012.
School districts that elect all their directors at-large by the entire school district do not need to file any materials.

| Re: Iran Iran is just the same as many other dictatorships throughout history. A few leaders who maintain power by bestowing wealth and influence on the military-in this case the Revolutionary Guard. After the last elections held there, protests by the people of Iran were brutally suppressed. The average Iranian probably believes their leadership is crazy, and they are. Delusional leaders who believe in a mandate to rule the world, according to their perversion of the Islamist faith. Like Khadafy in Libya, they will deny that the masses are against them until the day those same people end up overthrowing or killing them. |

Never Sure | Re: Iran News this morning President Obama talking about possible US military intervention in Iran, about 'keeping all options on the table'. Excuse? Nukes that don't yet exist, may never exist in any serious capacity, and which will still require the devlopment of delivery systems to become even a local regional problem. Iran knows if it nukes Israel, Israel will nuke back, a thousand times harder. That's how Israel does things. What would Iran gain? Its ridiculous to suggest. They're not that self destructive. The west is protecting and ensuring its oil supply and supply routes against a future BRICs power bloc which will not have western interests much at heart. Again, one can't comment on the right and wrong of it, it's our own way of life we're protecting, and that's a natural human tribal reaction to threat from other tribes. It's completely necessary, from a tribal standpoint. But the earlier point is not to argue about nukes, etc. Iran is a strategic objective, as were Iran and Afghanistan. But probably more important, in the big picture. Important enough to risk another 'Cuban Missile Crisis' type scenario with Russia and China, who would like to have Iran on their side of the bloc? Having been caught napping over Iraq and Afghanistan. Nobody can win a war in Afghanistan, history proves. But the western presence there protects an important oil corridor. The Straits of Hormuz are another such corridor, and Iran has lots of oil too. Its just interesting to sit back, knowing that an invasion of Iran has already been decided at the top, in my own humble estimation, and watch the propaganda exercise happening, that could be the start of serious global military conflict, put it that way? |

| Re: Iran Israel has had multimillion dollar campaigns (now including the Iran situation) in which they flood the media with who they believe are the enemies of the world and want everyone to agree with them without question. They point the finger at who they don't like, and the U.S. attacks it, furthermore Israel pushes other countries (and the U.S.) to do their dirty work, because they're afraid. I think the U.S. should stop listening to Israel's political leaders and cut their ties with them completely. Why should the U.S. get further into trouble with other countries because of what Israel doesn't like. Israel is currently trying to push the U.S. to bomb the hell out of Iran, and for WHAT? So World War 3 can commence! |

| Re: Iran I understand your sentiments, Starbeast. But I think the U.S. should get more involved with Israel - to bring them to the conference table. If Iran is developing nuclear weapons then, rather than war, I think Israel should offer to give up theirs in exchange for all the Arab states staying nuclear free and I think only the U.S. is likely to have the political clout to bring that about. |

One of the most important and unremarked trends in nuclear weapons thinking is the constant change in the perceived capabilities and value of nuclear weapons.
BASIC is seeking to foster informed debate over Britain's nuclear weapon system, which is currently composed of a fleet of four Vanguard submarines carrying Trident missiles.
International concern has been focused on Iran's uranium enrichment program and Tehran's potential and intention to develop nuclear weapons. In the Middle East, many leaders and constituencies are worried about the officially unacknowledged nuclear arsenal of Israel, as well as potential future capabilities in other countries.
Since May 2012, BASIC has been delivering a series of "Strategic Dialogues" in Washington DC, aimed at facilitating the exchange of different perspectives on nuclear weapons issues and deterrence theories. Experts share their views in "dialogue" rather than traditional "debate" format, with the aim of exploring commonalities rather than emphasizing differences.
As part of its military doctrine, NATO relies on nuclear weapons, including the strategic nuclear arsenals of the United States and the United Kingdom, and U.S. B61 tactical gravity bombs based in five other member states as part of NATO's nuclear sharing arrangements.
BASIC has been tracking and commenting upon the issues related to Iran's nuclear program since 2003. Iran is developing its own fuel cycle, focused in the first instance upon its uranium conversion facility at Esfahan and its enrichment facility at Natanz. Concerned at the consequences for proliferation stemming from Iran's lack of full disclosure on past activities, the IAEA...
BASIC has followed developments around nuclear arms control treaties for over twenty years. This page includes links to recent coverage and resources for key treaties that BASIC has focused on as key steps in achieving progress towards our vision.
BASIC collaborates closely with the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Global Security and Non-Proliferation.
