1. New Gameplay Mechanics, Moves, Items and Abilities (Part 2)
New Items
This generation has also brought a selection of competitively viable items to the fore, bringing new dynamics to the game. Click each link for more info including how to obtain the item, or
for a full list of new additions.
If the holder is capable of evolving, its Def and SpDef stats are raised by 50%.
This item has radically changed how viable NFE Pokemon can be in standard play, as all manner of defensive pokes become bulkier than their older brothers. For example Chansey with MoE can reach higher defensive stats than Blissey, and avoids several key OHKO and 2HKO boundries with this item. Similarly Porygon 2, an already great Pokemon in any tier, becomes an even more impressive staller. However this does come at the cost of HP, given that this stat is almost always higher as you move up the evolutionary chain, and access to something most walls would not be seen dead without- Leftovers.
Where MoE really shines is in the diminutive tier of Little Cup, where literally
in the tier can make use of this item! A metagame dominated by offensive powerhouses in the previous gen, now a whole horde of pokes are capable of reaching equally high levels of defensive bulk.
Air Balloon
The holder is immune to Ground attacks until the are hit by an attack.
A very effective item for certain Pokemon, giving them extra options to switch in on or the ability to force an opponent to use a weaker attack while they set up.
Red Card
When the holder is hit by an attack, the holder must switch immediately (One use only).
An interesting item which can act as a one-time PHaze move that can save you from being swept if the opponent sets up on you. Alternatively you can force out the counter of your own setup sweeper while you build up your boosts.
Cell Battery
Absorb Bulb
If the holder is hit by an Electric (CB) or Water (AB) attack, their SpAtt (CB) or Attack (AB) stats are raised by one stage. Damage is not nullified. One use only.
A cool, if limited, way of receiving additional stat boosts. Mis-prediction can leave you crippled however, or you may never even encounter the correct attack to benefit from these items. They can be handy if there's no other options available, however.
Elemental Gems
Each type has its own respective gem. When the holder uses a move of that type, that move's power is increased by 50% (One use only).
These things are like the type-boosting plates from 4th gen, only decent. They provide a huge boost of power for the turn they're used. The aforementioned Flight Jewel and Acrobatics combo is especially lethal, because the item is removed
Acrobatics' damaged is calculated, making it stronger than Self-Destruct when used by a Flying type!
EV Wings
Each stat has its own respective wing. Each wing adds one EV to that stat.
While they have no effect as a hold item, the wing will revolutionise EV training because unlike vitamins, there is no cap on the amount you can use! On surface level, that means it's going to be
a lot
easier to EV train each poke if you have enough Feathers. But they have a whole new use that will revolutionise Ubers: You can now fully EV Arceus legally. Given that he's only available at level 100, he could only legally gain EVs though vitamins. Now that's no longer the case, The Original One's true potential can be accessed!
New Abilities
This is arguably the most exciting set of additions, as not only do they provide new ways for Pokemon to be used, they provide new ways for
Pokemon to be used, largely thanks to Dream World. And many of the 41 new abilities are very viable in a competitive situation. Clicking on each ability will take you to its Serebii page, where all Pokemon with each ability are found, or click
for a full list.
Sheer Force
All moves with
a chance
of having a secondary effect have 33% extra base power, but lose their secondary effect. Grants immunity to Life Orb Recoil.
A very potent ability. Between Life Orb and Sheer Force, a Pokemon can gain a 63% boost to all of its moves without any recoil. However, this ability only applies to moves which have a chance of inflicting it's secondary effect- moves with 100% certainty, or no effect at all, remain at their base power.
Prevents the use of Berries by the opponent.
Not really of any use in standard play, but very handy in Little Cup where large percentages of the metagame carry berries as standard. Blocking their recovery can be very useful.
For each stage the opponent lowers your Pokemon's stat, it gains two stages to its attack stat. Doesn't apply to self-induced drops.
Potentially a very handy ability. Watch as your opponents attempts to cripple you begin to make you stronger, even Intimidate users leave you at +1 rather than -1. Quite situational, but can leave you in a very good position if you're lucky.
Multi Scale
When at 100% HP, this Pokemon receives 50% damage from any attack.
A huge ability for the two Pokemon that can learn it- Dragonite and Lugia. As it gets more and more overshadowed with every generation, Dragonite finally gets a chance to shine it it's only niche, that of a Bulky Dragon. He can even survive decent powered Ice Beams with ease using this ability, allowing him ample time to set up. The same goes for Lugia, who has arguably the best defensive stat line in the entire game. Better still, they both have access to Roost, giving them the opportunity to abuse this ability multiple times per game.
Toxic Boost
Heat Rampage
When this Pokemon is poisoned/burnt, their attack(PR)/special attack(HR) stat is raised 50%
New ways to abuse the Status Orbs become available this gen, specifically in the form of non-Guts stat boosts. It's also the first time a status affliction will ever raise your SpAtt.
Whenever this Pokemon uses it's held berry, this berry is made available again at the end of the turn.
Essentially, this is infinite berries. Unlimited status immunity? Strap on a Lum. For every turn you spend under 25% HP, you gain a Pinch Berry Boost. A very nice ability indeed.
Sudden Impulse
At the end of each turn, this Pokemon increases one stat by two stages, and decreases one stat by one stage.
Behold, the first ability to ever be banned to the Uber tier. You are looking at the ability that allows Bidoof to sweep even the most prepared team. This ability, combined with Substitute and Protect, allows almost any user to get to +6 in any number of stats, with no skill whatsoever. You won't be seeing this ability outside of Ubers, and it looks to have set a trend that Drizzle and Drought are soon to follow (See: Analysis of Old Threats in Each Metagame).
This Pokemon is immune to weather damage.
A nice ability that increases survivability, something that can be of great use in beating sand or hail stall teams.
This Pokemon restores 33% of its max HP each time it switches out.
A great ability for bulky pokes, now even those with no recovery moves can have huge longevity. It's an especially great gift for Ho-oh, which counteracts its crippling Stealth Rock weakness to some degree.
Sand Throw
This Pokemon's speed is doubled during Sandstorm.
The sandy equivalent to Swift Swim, offensive SS teams are becoming a lot more viable this generation.
Miracle Skin
Status moves only have a 50% chance of affecting this Pokemon, if they hit.
A nice utility move in the same vein as Shed Skin, added protection from status is always a bonus. It has no effect on the secondary effects of moves like Thunderbolt, however.
If this Pokemon moves last, it's attacks become 30% stronger.
A great boon to slower pokes who gain the equivalent of a Life Orb boost without recoil or sacrificing their item slot.
This Pokemon will appear identical to the last Pokemon in your party until it is hit by an attack.
A great way of playing mind games with your opponent, or forcing them to switch in pokes you can easily KO or set up upon. It starts to become less useful as the game progresses, however, as the opponent will be able to identify your pokes by their HP gauge.
This Pokemon ignore the effects of the opponent's Safeguard, Reflect or Light Screen.
A nice ability that can hamper baton pass chains as you attack their Pokemon unfazed, although the majority of the users of this ability have superior options for most circumstances.
When another Pokemon makes contact with this Pokemon, it's ability becomes Mummy.
A very interesting ability that can strip an opponent's of it's own (Until they switch out, at least). Can easily cripple Pokemon using weather to sweep or its ability to protect against status. Another daring strategy is to "infect" an opponent with Mummy, then have Slaking switch in and hit it with Pursuit, shedding its own crippling ability. Aakeosu and Regigigas can try similar plans as well.
Each time this Pokemon KO's an opponent, it receives one attack stage.
Once a Pokemon gets going with this ability, it can become incredibly hard to stop. If it can get a regular boost in or revenge kill a weakened opponent, it will continue getting stronger and stronger. It doesn't help that two of the best users of this ability are the Dragon Dancing menaces Salamence and Gyarados, either.
Justice Heart
This Pokemon's attack is raised by one stage if hit by a Dark type move.
A nice way of nabbing free boosts, considering every user of this ability (aside from the Arcanine line) resists Dark.
Magic Bounce
All non damaging moves aimed at this Pokemon are automatically reflected back at their user:
-Entry Hazards (Spikes, Stealth Rock etc)
-Stat Lowering Moves (Growl, Screech etc)
-Status Moves (Thunder Wave, Spore etc)
-"Volatile Status" (
These moves here
This is arguably the best ability in the game. Not only is the Pokemon completely immune to all of these things, they are actively used against the opponent at the same time. They try and set up hazards? Enjoy your Spikes? Brelom using Spore? Watch it drift of to sleep. This move has almost limitless utility.
This Pokemon's attack is raised by one stage when his by a Grass type move.
Another nice way of gaining stat boosts in the same vein as Heart of Justice.
All of this Pokemon's non-damaging attacks receive +1 priority.
Second in line (in my opinion) to the title of "best ability in the game", this can turn any status move into an ever-present danger. Sweepers boosts will count for nothing if they get paralysed or burnt before they even get a chance to move. Throwing out Substitutes becomes increasingly frustrating when there's no way of getting in before them, especially when couple with the priority Leech Seed of Elfuun (See: Analysis of Newly Introduced Threats). Pokemon with this ability have all manner of ways of crippling anything you care to name.
Sand Force
Ground, Rock and Steel attacks from this Pokemon are 50% stronger during sandstorm
Just as Rain and Sun boost certain attacks, now sand can too, and a larger variety at that. Now in sand both halves of the classic QuakeEdge combination are boosted.
This Pokemon's attacks are unaffected by the opponent's ability.
The signature abilities of the version Mascots, these abilities prevent the opponent's attempts to wall their attacks by absorbing them with their own abilities. As mentioned before, this is most useful for Reshiram whose dual STAB will never be resisted by any Pokemon Game Freak ever make, unless a new type is added that simultaneously resists both attacks.

Blog: Malt alternative
Chris Brook-Carter | 9 March 2004
U-turn, re-appraisal, or climb down. Call it what you like, but the decision by Diageo, announced this morning, that it is to axe Cardhu Pure Malt and bring back the brand in its original single malt format cannot have been an easy one, and neither does it come without some surprise.
The furore that surrounded its decision last summer to change the world's fifth best-selling malt whisky to a mix of vatted malts – a format Diageo called a Pure Malt – caught the drinks giant by surprise. "We under-estimated the strength of feeling on this issue," Ian Meakins, president, EU markets, said today.
The debate threatened to split the Scotch Whisky Association, reached the House of Commons - when one Scottish MP raised it at Prime Minister's Question Time - and came close to spilling over into the courts when rival Scotch producer William Grant spoke of taking legal action.
A compromise was finally reached where Diageo promised to make changes to the packaging of the product, including changing the colour from brown to green, and to carry out additional promotional activity explaining to consumers the nature of the new product.
What is surprising about Diageo's decision today is that the trade seemed to be happy with the compromise. It is made all the more baffling by Diageo's insistence that it came under no consumer pressure to change back to the Single Malt format, quite the contary in fact. Speaking to just-drinks, Nicholas Morgan, the company's marketing manager premium malts, said the launch of Cardhu Pure Malt had been a success and he referred to the potential consumer backlash many had predicted as "the dog that didn't bark."
That the company must now go back to those consumers and communicate a second change in make-up in 12 months makes the decision all the more baffling, as does the fact that Diageo is once more facing the supply issues that forced it to change to Pure Malt in the first place.
Why then the turnaround? Diageo claims it is in light of talks being held with the SWA over whisky definitions, which it believes will conclude that Scotches can only be called after distilleries if the spirit has been produced there – in other words only single malts can be named after a distillery.
Perhaps so. But Diageo could have argued that Cardhu had been marketed since before any definitions were put in place and so was exempt from the rules. Morgan said that the long-term benefits to the trade of these definitions outweighed the importance of the Cardhu Pure Malt issue.
However, some industry insiders are not convinced this is the whole story.
An answer then, may lie in Diageo's global aspirations to market a premium malt brand. One industry insider just-drinks spoke to speculated that the company had decided it would face a restrictively hostile consumer reaction in more malt-literate markets than Spain, such as the US, if it were to take Cardhu Pure Malt global. If this is true, we may see the launch in the next 12 months of a Diageo-owned premium vatted-malt brand to replace Cardhu Pure Malt, with the sorts of volumes to launch an aggressive global push in this sector.

I looked for, but couldn't find any 3M cable clips to mount my DL to my 9X. I did find some cord clips that worked out pretty well. They came in a pack of four. I wanted to use the DL Tx stand and these clips, with some slight modification, worked nicely.
In short, I trimmed the tabs from two clips up to the little 'catch'. I trimmed one so the catch was removed. I then clipped the two clips with the catches on the Tx handle and pushed them to the inside edges of the Tx stand. I aligned the DL and pressed it onto the clip's tape. I then took the clip with the catch removed to the upper cross member and centered it, then pressed the DL onto it. I will use the fourth clip (unmodified) to hold the excess DL-to-Tx cable. Now my DL clips on and off and is held tightly in place.

Transplanting a Spektrum Dx4E Rf Deck into the 9X
I transplanted a Spektrum Dx4E rf deck into my 9X. There's two ways of doing this...as an internal addition or using the original 9X rf module case and (some) electronics. My first 9X came with a module with an integral antenna so I used the 'module case' mod. I had to play with the replacement Spektrum antenna mounting a little to get it to sit tight, but now it's like it came from the factory.
First, to use this modification you must have ER9X firmware flashed into your 9X radio. The stock 9X firmware will not talk the required DSM2 protocol. You can; however, use a Spektrum DM9 module with the stock firmware as long as you set the radio to PPM mode.
I did my first flights with the system today. I can happily say it seems to work better than it did with the Spektrum DM9 module. My stick center points are back at 1500us (they were 1600us with the DM9 module) and the reaction speed of my quadcopter is faster that before...with no changes to radio or quad controller settings. Woo Hoo!!! I wish I new about this before I bought the DM9. I paid $30 for the Dx4E radio and will be able to harvest the wiring and switches for other projects...leaving mostly just a plastic case to toss out.
The one (bad) thing is the 9X module fits the pins tightly and makes installing, and even more so, removing, the module more difficult than the DM9 module was. I use the same radio to fly 2.4G and UHF so disconnect the module to connect my UHF transmitter. This is more of a minor inconvenience though. Worse comes to worse I can always make the Spektrum rf deck internal and leave the module bay open for the UHF connection then just hook up a switch to turn on whatever deck I need to use at the time. That'll come later though, if needed. It seems just fine as is for now.
Links to this modification can be found here:
The Dx4 module does not have a 'bind' button. Instead, you use the 9X trainer switch for binding...simple and works well.
One final note. To use the Dx4 module you need to set the ER9X firmware protocol to DSM2. There are then three 'types' to select. It is recommended to use type 'DSM2 Only'. The Dx4 module can transmit in DSXm format. On the down side, it can only remember one protocol at a time. If you bind it for DSM2 it can not talk DSMx unless you rebind it. Then to go back to DSM2 you have to rebind it to a DSM2 rx. I'm just going to use DSM2 Only since most of my Spektrum Rx's are DSM2 and they work fine.
|Sep 25, 2012, 11:40 PM
FWIW, I tested the channel outputs of the Dx4 rf module in the 9X. It appears to only put out six channels. Eight channels would of been nice, but six is pretty good. I rarely use over 6 channels in most of my planes anyway...and besides, the DL puts out 12 channels with the 9X and ER9X firmware if I ever need that many.

mines a new 9x with er9x, the rf modual has the antenna wire routered from it into the tx.. Is there anyway of keeping it attached or is it best to just chop it ? is there any setting on the er9x to make it work for dl2 ?
|Oct 26, 2012, 04:18 PM
Thanks Van, I followed your pictures to make the connection.
|Oct 26, 2012, 09:45 PM
For me, I wasn't planning on using the stock Rf deck so I just chopped off the antenna lead and removed it altogether. I now use my DL, DM9, or Dx4e rf decks by just removing one module and plugging in another. Works great...
|Oct 26, 2012, 11:10 PM
Just ordered the Turnigy 9x v2 and the Smartie board. Hope they are half as good as you indicate.
Was interesting that the Tx was available at the USA warehouse but was $10 more. Thought it was worth ordering from the US as I am still waiting for a motor for my SW I ordered over 5 weeks ago.

Hmm trying to bind, green flashin on dl, power on rx all light for a second then just green on rx, even after rebooting tx....
|Oct 27, 2012, 03:22 PM
Try starting over from step one in Mike's instructions. After I calibrated mine and changed the ID, rebound everything works as in the manual. Had a little fuss with mine too until I did that.
Really love my 9x with er9x. It has a very short learning curve imo and has been a great pleasure to work with. I have the FlySky version from Hobbypartz, cause unlike HK they ship within hours.
Steven over at Smartieparts sent me a new board right away after if was damaged by the post. It as well was really easy to install and anyone who knows how to turn a screw can install one. Don't forget the back light kit! Flashing er9x was also easy.
Can't be beat for the price and functionality you get, I just setup variable rates bound to a pot:

Yep, the ER9X does more than I know how to do. By the way. I grew up outside of Denver. THAT's NOT a Denver accent I detect!!!

I see your sick humor is still intact. Your poor daughter. Too bad she can't divorce you.
It's been hot and humid. I'm having to mow twice a week to keep the stupid lawn under control. It's growing about an inch a day.
Sitting here with the a/c on about to watch a movie.
Take care and try not to kill anyone. Although... I might be willing to bet on that and win back my ten bucks.

Protest greets Hassan in Windham for signing of 22% increase in gas tax
Dozens of legislators gathered at the weigh station at Interstate 93 South in Windham, later making a long caravan down the highway to yet-to-be opened bridge over Route 111, where the governor signed the bill into law.
Hassan called the bipartisan transportation funding bill "the most significant state-level investment in transportation infrastructure in 23 years."
"This legislation is an important step toward addressing our transportation needs, keeping New Hampshire's economy moving forward by advancing critical road and bridge projects, finishing the long-overdue expansion of I93 and improving commutes for our workers and visitors," the governor said
SB 367's passage raises the state gas tax from 18 cents to 22 cents per gallon. It also eliminates the toll at Exit 12 on the F. E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, while establishing a study committee on the efficiency of the Department of Transportation.
Rep. David Campbell, chair of the House Public Works and Highways Committee, said that every dollar raised from the gas tax would go directly to the construction and maintenance of state and municipal roads and bridges.
According to Campbell, 33 percent of those funds will go to towns and cities to fix local roads and bridges; 25 percent will be used to repair the state's secondary highways; and 42 percent will be used to complete the I93 widening project.
"This is the state's top transportation priority and it's now assured of completion by 2020," Campbell said of the I93 project.
Sen. Jim Rausch, the bill's sponsor, agreed.
"Without SB 367, we wouldn't have the resources to complete the I-93 project," he said. "Our citizens want their leaders to have the wisdom and courage to solve problems, and that's exactly what SB367 does."
As legislators and state highway officials gathered around the governor's podium, a growing crowd of protesters waved signs in the background.
Greg Moore of Americans for Prosperity said he opposed the gas tax increase, noting that about a third of the current gas tax monies are already being used for non-highway purposes.
"Gas prices were already high," Moore said. "Right now there are so many working families that can't afford diesel and gas."
In a written statement released Wednesday morning, the NH State Republican Committee likewise voiced its opposition to the gas tax.
"A gas tax during challenging economic times is bad for New Hampshire because it will unfairly burden the middle class and hurt small businesses," the statement read.
Self-professed "Free Stater" Rich Paul drove over from Keene to protest Wednesday's signing. Paul made his way up the embankment carrying a handmade sign that read "Hassan Pass on the Gas Tax."
"When the economy is in a depression, the last thing want to do is increase taxes," Paul said.
Another protester, Manchester resident Nate Thomas, offered similar sentiments.
"I'm not happy with an increase in gas prices," Thomas said. "Yes, it might provide a few construction jobs for a couple years, but it's really going to hurt people on fixed incomes."
Matt Murphy, executive director of Citizens for A Strong New Hampshire, said the group has been following the bill since its introduction and its passage is concerning.
"The middle class is going to suffer from this," Murphy said. "Because this won't only increase the costs at the pump, it will also increase the costs of goods and services (due to gas increases on freight companies)."

NewsOK reporter Bryan Dean chatted with State Rep. Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, and State Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, about open meetings requirements for the state Legislature Wednesday afternoon.
Lawmakers discuss bill to subject Oklahoma legislature to open meeting, records laws
NewsOK reporter Bryan Dean chatted with State Rep. Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, and State Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, about open meetings requirements for the state Legislature Wednesday afternoon.
Murphey and Holt began working on a bill to subject the state Legislature to open meeting requirements last year.
You can join Bryan's open record Q&A's on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 2:30 p.m. and submit your questions about legislation and public access in Oklahoma. Read the complete chat transcript here.
Why is passing something like this a challenge? What is the opposition you have heard?
Murphey: Last year, some expressed concern that if the media could access legislative email that the media might distort the exchanges or take them out of context.
Others are worried about their schedules becoming public and presenting a security threat.
Holt: In general, the general opposition to transparency comes from a fear of the unknown. Most legislators have never served at a different level of government in Oklahoma, and the concepts in the Open Records and Open Meetings acts are just foreign to them. So it's Jason and I's role to educate them and get them more comfortable with it.
Sen. Holt, you worked at the city while MAPS and MAPS for Kids were implemented. These are both feathers in the cap for Oklahoma City government. How did conducting meetings in public affect these initiatives?
Holt: I think the wisdom of elected leadership is never going to surpass the collective wisdom of the public. You only benefit from that collective wisdom if you operate in public and allow everyone who is interested an opportunity to make suggestions.

The other day, I had a good cry and it made me feel much better. It had been a tough and rather worrying couple of days (for several reasons that I won't bore you with) and I stood in the kitchen and had a really good cry for a couple of minutes.
I don't cry very often but, just sometimes, I feel a sense of relief from releasing my emotions in a big noisy burst. My Yorkshire grandmother used to call it 'having a good old sob.' (It plays havoc with the mascara, but hey…)
Sometimes, when I'm working with a client, emotions might come up for them that they just need to let go of. They have a cry and they say afterwards, 'Gosh, I really needed that…'
We don't always realise what we are holding onto in our bodies and that release - through exercise or laughter or a good old cry - can be wonderfully liberating.
No misunderstandings here. I am not suggesting that we should all be going around baring our innermost souls on the bus, at work, in the pub. It is probably not very helpful to you if you find yourself feeling tearful most of the time - not to say, highly inconvenient and perhaps a sign that you need to see a good therapist!
But so much of the work that I do is about helping people to become more consistently aware of what is going on inside them - and then giving them the tools to take care of what they are feeling, to nurture themselves and give themselves what they need to feel better in progressive and healthful ways.
And, if one day you find yourself feeling that you need a good cry, then I'd say let yourself do that.
When I stood in the kitchen and cried I was fortunate enough to have someone put their arms round me and just hold me. This person wasn't afraid of my tears. He just knew that I needed to do this simple thing and he stood silently and supportively with me. That was just what I needed him to do and I very quickly felt so much better for having expressed and shared the sadness I felt.
But today I have come across a piece of research that asks Is Crying Benefical?
The abstract reads:
Lay opinion and extensive survey data indicate that crying is a cathartic behavior that serves to relieve distress and reduce arousal. Yet laboratory data often indicate that crying exacerbates distress and increases autonomic arousal. In this article, we present a framework for explaining variations in the psychological effects of crying as a function of (a) how the effects of crying are measured, (b) conditions in the social environment, (c) personality traits of the crier, and (d) the affective state of the crier.
And this article in The New York Times interviews one of the authors of research, Jonathan Rottenberg, a psychologist at the University of South Florida, and provides a summary of the findings.
The article reads:
' In a study published in the December issue of The Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, Dr. Rottenberg, along with Lauren M. Bylsma of the University of South Florida and Ad Vingerhoets of Tilburg University in the Netherlands, asked 5,096 people in 35 countries to detail the circumstances of their most recent crying episode. About 70 percent said that others' reactions to their breakdown were positive, comforting. But about 16 percent cited nasty or angry reactions that, no surprise, generally made them feel worse. Given that the most obvious social function of crying is to rally support and sympathy, the emotional impact of the tears depends partly on who is around and what they do. The study found crying with just one other person present was significantly more likely to produce a cathartic effect than doing so in front of a larger group. "Almost all emotions are, at some level, directed at others, so their response is going to be very important," said James J. Gross, a psychologist at Stanford.'
Hmmm.. So no wonder that I felt so much better after having my 'good cry'. I had someone there with me who responded in the way that was most helpful to me at the time. If he had ignored me or told me to 'pull myself together' I would probably have been left feeling ashamed, lonely and confused.And imagine how I would have felt if he had got angry!
There is a bit of a taboo around crying in most Western cultures, isn't there? Think about all the wailing and moaning and ululating and the collective expressions of grief that are common in many countries in, for example, the Middle East. We British, on the other hand, tend to 'keep a stuff upper lip.'
I can remember situations where I have seen someone crying uncontrollably whilst the person next to them looked embarrassed or irritated, looked away, told them to 'stop it'…
I have had big, strapping Yorkshiremen in my consulting room who have burst into tears over something that they've been bottling up inside them (another of my Grandma's favourite expressions) for a very long time and I can see the look of horror on their faces. Their internal monologue probably goes something like this: 'Oh, no. I am crying!! And not only am I crying, but I am crying in front of a stranger who happens to be a girl… What will she think of me? What a complete idiot I am. How do I get out of here as quickly as possible?'
Personally, although I certainly don't set out to make people cry - and I really don't think therapy has to be a tearful and painful affair - it is always a powerful moment when someone realises that they've been carrying something unhelpful around inside them and that it is now safe to express it and let go of it.
Therapy is sometimes the only space where someone can feel safe enough to cry. That person knows that they will not be judged or ridiculed. They will not be 'burdening' a friend or family member with all those messy and oh-so inconvenient emotions. They certainly will not be experiencing angry or hurtful reactions.
Personally, I believe in the healing power of laughter, fun and kindness. Or a swim or a massage or a good film. Possibly also the odd square of 85% cocoa content chocolate when appropriate. So I am not suggesting today that we should announce a National Crying Week.
I merely suggest that, next time you see someone crying, help them to make it a 'good cry'. Put your own fears or embarrassments aside. Don't tell them to stop. Just quietly, supportively be with them until they feel better.
When someone is crying they are in a very suggestible state. They are opening themselves up. It's a great opportunity to help them to feel safe and cared about. So give 'em a hug or let them know you care.
After all, it's been researched now, hasn't it?

FOX Sports Exclusive
Jeter will go down swinging
The confidence of superstar athletes is unwavering. It is part of who they are, part of why they're great. It is why so many of them cannot admit to declining skills, why so many of their careers end ugly.
Derek Jeter is not at the end. Few in baseball will be surprised if he bats .300 again this season, plays an acceptable shortstop and leads the Yankees back to the playoffs, all while collecting the 74 hits he needs to reach 3,000.
Get in-depth coverage from FOX Sports regional network.
- East: Braves | Marlins
- West: Diamondbacks | Dodgers
- Central: Astros | Brewers | Cardinals | Reds | Twins
- Yardbarker: More MLB coverage
Yet, Jeter turns 37 June 26. The image of him as a younger man is frozen in our minds — at 26, he already was a four-time World Series champion. But as the Yankees continue their season-opening series against the Tigers (MLB on Fox, Saturday, 4:10 p.m. ET), Jeter's decline is a subject of relentless chatter in New York and something of a national fascination.
People in sports say it all the time: It never ends well with superstars. Jeter, an immensely proud and accomplished player, is not likely to be an exception. If anything — and it's painful to think this, much less write it — his twilight years could be more unpleasant than most.
Superstars rarely make good self-evaluators; they believe anything is possible, and often prove it in their primes. Jeter, playing for the sport's most famous team in the nation's most demanding market, had a spectacular 14-year run before finally stumbling last season. He did it not simply by staying positive, but by rejecting any hint of negative thought.
Don't tell him, as the Yankees did last off-season, his value is not what he thinks. Don't tell him he can't play shortstop, or he shouldn't hit at the top of the order. Most of all, don't tell him last season might have been the beginning of the end.
"Last year is over," Jeter told reporters Thursday before collecting a walk, a run and an RBI in the Yankees' 6-3 victory over the Tigers. "That's the assessment of it. We've talked about it enough. I talked about it all spring, all off-season. It's over with. It's done with."
He is implementing a new approach at the plate, something he started toward the end of last season. It's not a new stance, not a new swing, but a simple matter of Jeter minimizing his stride and taking a more direct path to the ball. Jeter notes, correctly, it is not the first time he has made an adjustment. But when your batting average drops from .334 in 2009 to a career-low .270 in '10, the questions will come.
Manager Joe Girardi adjusted the Yankees' lineup to start the season, dropping Jeter to the second spot, behind Brett Gardner, against right-handers. Gardner offers more speed than Jeter, and his .383 on-base percentage last season was the highest of any Yankee regular. But Jeter might no longer be suited to hit second, either. He had the highest groundball rate of any major-league hitter last season, making him a prime candidate to hit into a high number of double plays.
Jeter's defense, too, is under scrutiny — he again was rated as one of the worst-fielding shortstops last season after rebounding in '09. Another season of slippage would create greater concern than his spot in the batting order. There is no other obvious spot for Jeter in the Yankees' defensive alignment — and no obvious replacement for him at shortstop.
HAVE A FIELD DAYCome for the game, stay for the party. Find out everything you need to know to enjoy the grand old game.
Yet, in the opinions of some rival scouts, the focus on Jeter's shortcomings are a bit much. One scout, while acknowledging Jeter's diminished range, says 90 percent of major-league clubs would be comfortable with his defense. Another offers the kind of compliment that drives sabermetricians and Jeter's other critics nuts, noting that Jeter plays well within his range and "somehow carries his aura to keep the team together."
Here's a question, though: For the Yankees, at this moment, how many shortstops would be better? Troy Tulowitzki, for sure. Hanley Ramirez, assuming he could handle New York. Stephen Drew, maybe. But from there, the list narrows rapidly. The position is not nearly as deep in quality as it was 10 years ago.
Jose Reyes isn't as consistent or durable as Jeter. Neither Jimmy Rollins nor Alexei Ramirez gets on base at nearly the same rate. Starlin Castro and Ian Desmond lack experience, Rafael Furcal is too frequently injured. Elvis Andrus, for all his defensive gifts, failed to hit a home run last season and had the second-lowest slugging percentage in the majors.
Jeter surely is aware he is still better than most shortstops, and that should only stiffen his resolve. Still, he cannot go on forever, and surely he is aware of that, too. Not that it will be any easier for him to accept. Not when he has been so great for so long.
See what charity this represents, see the bow ties Ken has worn and learn about BowTie Cause.
Think of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., a player whose stature in some ways compared to Jeter's. Moving Ripken from shortstop to third base was like moving a mountain. Ripken initially resisted the change when the Orioles tried to install a younger, inferior player, Manny Alexander, in 1996. Only after the team signed free agent Mike Bordick that off-season did Ripken fully endorse the shift. Ripken — who, like Jeter today, was soon to turn 37 — respected Bordick.
Ripken was stubborn in other ways as well — his consecutive-games streak went on for more than 500 games even after he broke Lou Gehrig's record. No one should have expected anything different, of course. If Ripken had not been stubborn, he never would have caught Gehrig in the first place.
It is that way with Jeter now. It is that way with most great ones. Yes, Mike Mussina retired gracefully after a 20-win season. Yes, Jorge Posada calmly accepted becoming a DH when the Yankees gave him sufficient notice. But while both may make the Hall of Fame, Jeter is at a level beyond.
Don't tell him no. Don't tell him anything. Jeter will block out the negative talk. He will ignore the ticking clock. He will fight to the end.

Club still on lookout for backup Brad Biggs
The Seattle Seahawks remain on the lookout for a quarterback to have behind Russell Wilson.
But they added one to the mix on Wednesday, signing Josh Portis to a two-year contract, according to Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times. Portis spent about half the season on the practice squad last year after making the team as an undrafted rookie in 2011.
Seattle will still look for someone with experience to handle the No. 2 role behind Wilson after trading Matt Flynn to the Oakland Raiders in a move that freed up salary-cap space. The veteran market is getting thin. Rex Grossman re-signed with the Washington Redskins on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see what direction general manager John Schneider goes.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he has deeper options on the flanks than in previous seasons.
Nani, Ji-sung Park, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young and Ryan Giggs can all play on the wing.
"There's competition there Nani played really well for us the whole of last season but when Valencia came back his form was so good that I couldn't leave him out of the team," said Ferguson.
"Nani was unfortunate not to be picked for the Champions League final but he's maturing all the time. He's a really, really good player. His personality is improving, too. He used to be a quiet lad, but he's now come out of his shell. I think he'll be challenging for a spot this season and he'll play a lot of games."

Whether it's the latest song parody or the cutest baby on Earth, viral videos are as much a part of the online news cycle as anything else. And these days, getting a clip to catch fire on Twitter all but guarantees that thousands of eyeballs will get the message. But how do videos reach the holy land of "virality"? Twitter's own U.K. research team analyzed three recent, high-profile viral clips and mapped out the different paths they took to fame. Here's what they found:
1. Attract the right kind of eyes
The first case study centers on the meme-tastic Vine series "Ryan Gosling won't eat his cereal," which features the handsome Drive star in various scenes from either his films or interviews refusing to eat real spoonfuls of cereal. The videos' viral success stemmed largely from the attention paid them by major Vine-specific Twitter accounts, such as @BestVinesEver and @VineLoop. When these big-name accounts tweeted the Gosling videos, it was a quick trip to Twitter stardom.
2. Make a video no one else can
The second case study centered on astronaut Chris Hadfield's cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," which he performed while flying through space aboard the International Space Station. In this case, it wasn't recognition by famous accounts that earned Commander Hadfield virality — he posted the video to Twitter himself — but rather its truly one-of-a-kind premise. The video spread quickly, receiving more than 90 percent of its shares in its first three days. The lesson here is simple: Record something cool and totally original, and people will want to see it.
3. Aim for the heartstrings
The third video was a marketing campaign by Dove titled "Real Beauty Sketches," which played on the theme of how people see themselves versus how they are seen by others. The video's tear-jerking appeal gave the clip a longer shelf life than, say, Hadfield's Bowie cover. Shares did not drop off sharply after a few days, nor did the video experience the quick increase in views that the Gosling videos did after being picked up by major Twitter accounts. Instead, the Dove videos achieved viral status because they tackled a universal subject — preconceived notions of "beauty," in this case — that sparked longer, more drawn-out conversation across the global community.

Chances are if you've done all that needs to be done to make it out to Cabuya by the back roads you know you are not headed out to a sanitized version of Costa Rica or you would have booked a resort elsewhere at a few hundred dollars per night. Howler Monkey Hotel and Jim, your "Republican" (Irish) host, are laid-back, surrounded by flora, fauna and all of the critters indigenous to the area, love them or leave them.
I showed up unannounced when the hotel was officially closed for the season and Jim gave me a bungalow anyway, at a great rate. He cleaned it up quickly and gave me some fresh linen and all was well.
Cabuya is about seven kilometres from Montezuma so it's quiet and shuts down early – enjoy your great night's sleep. My highlight was gaining the trust of Roxanne, Jim's adopted rescue dog, who hopped in the passenger seat of my car when I tried to leave (it was tempting, Jim!).
Put your dharma on, relax and enjoy an imperfect but wholly charming little property in the middle of nowhere but perched a mere 2 km away from CR's very first protected area (Cabo Blanco).
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Howler Monkey Hotel is located only a couple metres away from the beach and near the beautiful Cementry Island of Cabuya. There is a market and a few restaurants within short walking distance. We offer four Cabanas with oceanview, private bathrooms with hot water shower, private kitchen, fans and nice patios with hammocks. There is also a wheelchair accessable disability suite available with airconditioning and an on suite bathroom. All rooms are situated around the refreshing pool.For our guests we provide free wifi and a washing machine, snorkel gear, fishing poles, spear guns, kayaks, surfboard and bicycles. You can also rent quads from us for a discounted rate. Enjoy your day lounging in your hammock, around the pool or take a short walk through our garden to the beach. ... more less

There are plenty of noble reasons to eat organic, and these tend to dominate most discussions and debates on how we should approach food as a society. Reasons like sustainability, supporting local economies and maintaining natural ecosystems are all more than legitimate talking points on this issue - yet, there's another pretty persuasive reason worth adding to the mix. Organic food isn't just better for us and the environment, it tastes better too (or at least we think it does)

Our taste for soybeans is devastating ecosystems and farmers are having a tough time meeting demand. What's going on here? The bulk of our soy consumption isn't in the form of tofu, tempeh, or edamame. People worldwide eat millions of pounds of "invisible soy" each year, because soy has become a staple in animal feed. If we're really interested in feeding the world, maybe we need to rethink the way that we are using our soybean crops

Mark, I am searching for the link between Mordecai Purdum (I strongly suspect there is one)and Warren Purdum, born 1821 in Fredrick Co. Maryland. He later lived in Sciota Co. Ohio where he married lydia McNeal. I found a census record that listed checkmarks for children's ages and male or female which coinsides with Warren possibly matching the link but there is no name with the association. I am searching from being a grandchild of Alta Mae Purdum whose father was Harry Purdum and mother was Sayde (Sarah) Amanda McDougal. Warren would be Alta Mae (May)'s grandfather. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

So I just transferred a mead that is about 6 months old now. I added a lot of sweet cherries before I realized I should have used sour cherries. So every tasting I've done since then (3) has been awful...like cough syrup. Today I just checked gravity and moved to another carboy to get it off the yeast cake and its down to 1.009 and is at least bearable (still bad). As I'm drinking the hydro sample I'm trying it with other flavors (lemonade and beer aren't very good. Then I tried it with some chocolate and realized that could make the mead enjoyable. (yes I've seen the chocolate mead exp thread)
The question I have is...there is no danger in adding another ingredient now is there?
I was thinking of going a year...but if I introduce this new ingredient, should I restart my bottling clock and go a year from now? Anyone ever try cocoa nibs instead of cocoa powder?
If you can find some chocolate extract, then you can do test samples to figure out how much to add to make the batch taste how you want.
Take a small size sample of your base mead, measure the size of the sample, mark down how much extract it takes to make the sample taste good, and then scale up to find out how much extract to add to the main batch.
128oz per gal, so 5 gal = 640oz. If using a 4oz sample, multiply the amount of extract in the sample by 160 to know how much to use in the full batch.
Hope that helps.

Six months is young for a mead. Let it age longer. It will be better. I've made wine with sweet cherries and that cough syrup taste is around for a while, but it will go away. In a mead, I'm sure it would take even longer to get out of there. I would bottle it and forget about it for at least a year, probably two myself.
I find the chocolate goes good with the sweet cherries, but the powder takes a long time to age out. I get better results with nibs
On the cocoa or chocolate addition ? Dunno, never tried it but.......
One the question of additional ingredients added late, its about adding further fermentable sugars. If the original brew didn't reach the max alcohol tolerance of the yeast, or if the brew hasn't been either stabilised/sterile filtered, then there would be the likelihood or at least the possibility of refermentation occurring. So bottling would be a no-go, because of "bottle bombs".

The riad is in the middle of the medina, so forget taxi and horse carriage. The only means to transport your luggages into the medina is by asking one of the push cart boys to help. It will cost you from 30-50dh. Arriving in front of the riads' door, we were greeted by Didier and his wife Lorraine, the couple,who owns the riad. Our stay was very nice and quiet. The room was a bit small, but sufficient. The ample bed was cozy and surprisingly comfortable. The undeniable surprise was definitely the breakfast! A mix between Morrocan flat galette and French continental breakfast. It has variety, and it hold our stomach until pass midday. The view of the roof terrace was breathtaking and worth to take picture of the view of the town, and the ocean. We definitely will come back next time we plan to come to Essaouira again.
