Haylgan I had a series of 5 injections 18 months ago.
I felt a differnce in 8 weeks, by 2 months I was able to work without pain! YEAH!
Only once did I experience pain during injection. I have bone spurs...It's important to go to a doctor who knows what he/she is doing.
*Currently I have undergone a series of 3 injections, with another doctor, and the right knee has responded well. HE is not a specialist of the knee, and 1 of the injections was extremely painful. I recommend the 5 injections!
THE original knee is still in a lot of pain, I am going back to the doctor today in hopes of getting the full 5 dose treatment. 3 injections is not giving me relief! READ the insert!
*this stuff is magic, BE sure to ask your doctor how many patients he has done this procedure on.
And ICE, ICE, ICE those knees! No kneeling, crawling. We only have 2 knees and they support our entire body wieght up to 3-5 times our body wieght with each step down! WOW! Thanks for the relief!

(Updates with comment from Kone in fifth paragraph.)
Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Ivory Coast received 60 percent more subscriptions for five-year bonds than it offered, accepting all of the bids as the West African nation aims to restore its conflict-damaged economy.
Investors sought 160.3 billion CFA francs ($334 million), more than the 100 billion francs offered in the sale that started Aug. 29 and ended on Sept. 12, Adama Kone, director general of the country's Treasury, told reporters today in Abidjan, the commercial capital.
Ivory Coast, the world's biggest cocoa producer, is emerging from a violent political crisis that lasted nearly five months and was sparked by a disputed election in November. The country's economy is expected to contract 5.8 percent this year before growth of 8.5 percent in 2012, according to the Finance Ministry.
The high demand in the bond offer shows "the confidence of the financial community in Ivory Coast and in its recovery and reconstruction policy," Kone said. "It's a sign of a progressive return to normality."
Most of the investors are West African banks, with each country in the sub-region taking part in the offer, he said. Part of the funds, 61.2 billion francs, will be used to pay another debt that matures tomorrow, Kone said. The remainder will be used for the country's budget, he said.
Damage to the economy caused by the impasse forced Ivory Coast to ask for a reassessment of $2.3 billion of Eurobonds after it missed two coupon payments on the debt in January and June.

Timaru Herald, 6 July 1897, Page 4 THE TEMUKA
A meeting of the Temuka Pioneers was held on Saturday evening in the Town Board Office, Temuka. Present— Messrs James Blyth (chairman), P. Coira, E H Brewer, D. Bradford, G. Levens, F. Oliver, H. Goodeve, T. Palmer, R. Edgar, J. Marshall, J. Whitehead, J. Findlay, A. Clyne, E. Pilbrow and A, Gaze (hon. sec). The chairman said that the memorial project had been taken up most enthusiastically and it was evident that interest was widespread. Several questions had cropped up as to qualification, amount of subscription, etc., and he hoped that those present would fully discuss the position before arrangements were handed over to the committee, The report of last meeting was read, also letters from Miss Hornbrook asking for information as to qualification ; from Mr Flatman jun., apologising for his father not having replied to a previous letter. His father was absent in the North Island, but he could vouch that he would sympathise with the movement. Messrs Duncan and Cotterill wrote on behalf of the Hewlings Trust. Mr A. Edgar, Rangitata, claimed, the qualification as a settler from 1866 and promised his support. Mr B. Martin (Glenavy) thanked the committee for calling his attention to the project, and promised it his support. Several verbal promises had been received by the secretary and members. In reply to questions, the chairman stated that the original proposal had expanded considerably, and it was evident the old hands desired to carry on the idea in a handsome way. After some conversational discussion it was resolved on the motion of Mr Edgar, seconded by Mr Goodeve - "That the lowest subscription to entitle a pioneer to have his name recorded on the memorial be £11s." It was agreed that widows of pioneers be allowed to represent them, but not to record the name of colonial born children as pioneers. The Temuka district was defined as the road Board district in 1863. Mr William Beattie was appointed to arrange with the old settlers in his district, and his name was added to the committee. Several minor matters were dealt with, and the meeting adjourned until Saturday next.
Pioneer Obelisk, Domain, Temuka
Foundation stone laid by Mrs Hornbrook, November, 1897, obelisk unveiled, 16th Dec. 1897.
Erected by the pioneers interested in the Temuka
District, in commemoration of the 60th year of the reign of her
most gracious majesty Queen Victoria June 22nd 1897.
Timaru Herald, 6 November 1897, Page 3
The foundation stone of the Temuka pioneers' memorial obelisk was laid in the Victoria Park, Temuka, on Thursday afternoon by Mrs Hornbrook, of Seadown, the widow of the late W. Hornbrook, one of the earliest of the Temuka settlers. The arrangements made by the committee were very complete, and those of Mr Cain, the contractor for the obelisk, were satisfactory in every respect. The site is near the entrance to the recreation ground and in full view of High street. At the hour appointed between three and four hundred persons were present, exclusive of the cricketers, cyclists, and other friends who were using the grounds. Among the visitors were to be seen settlers of many years standing, and also their representatives, some of whom had come considerable distances. The subscribers to the memorial and visitors were grouped as conveniently as could be arranged around the base of the obelisk, already in position, and photographed by Mr J. T. M. Hayhurst and Mr E. Cutten, who very kindly undertook the task. Mr James Blyth, chairman of the committee, then gave a brief account of the origin of the movement, and a very graphic description of the progress of Temuka from the days when he first knew it, many years before the flood of '65. His description of pioneer life was endorsed by many earnest comments from several of the settlers present. Mr Blyth, at the conclusion of his address, expressed his pleasure at having to invite Mrs Hornbrook to lay the foundation stone that day. The interest her late husband had taken in Temuka and their conjoined hospitality and kindness to everyone, was well known to all of the early residents. He formally asked her to see the foundation stone of the obelisk truly laid, and begged her acceptance of a silver trowel as a memento not only of the occasion but as a mark of the kindly feeling entertained towards herself by the pioneers. Mrs Hornbrook, after, the stone had been laid in position said " I now declare this stone well and truly laid," amidst a really old fashioned round of applause. Beneath the stone was placed a bottle containing coins, copies of the Timaru Herald of the 22nd June and current date, and of the Temuka Leader, and also a document notifying the date of the laying of the stone and containing the names of the committee, etc. The Rev. George Barclay, who had accepted the committee's invitation to be present, was received very cordially when he rose to speak. In a particularly happy manner he contrasted the old with the new, and gave many graphic instances of the progress of agriculture, education, trade and religion since he first knew Temuka. Many of his illustrations provoked laughter, and several, where reference was made to settlers now dead, were most sympathetically received. He sketched the history of colonisation which was really the history of civilization, and compared the characteristics of the pioneers of this colony as far as integrity, perseverance, and the desire to found a home for their descendants are concerned, very favourably with the characteristics of those of earlier days. Many thought that the country might be better, many desired new laws, but all should endeavour to make the colony greater than it already is. His remarks were received with very hearty applause. Upon Mr Arthur Rhodes devolved the task, a pleasing one, he said, of moving a vote of thanks to Mrs Hornbrook and the Rev. G. Barclay. In this he desired to include the chairman. As the representative of a colonist, and not himself as a pioneer, and also from personal experience, he referred to the hospitable manner in which the late Mr W. Hornbrook and his wife, whom all were be pleased to see present, had treated early residents, and he had great pleasure m endorsing the remarks made by the chairman as to the worth of the Rev. G. Barclay's labours in the early days. His (the speaker's) family was perhaps the first to buy land in South Canterbury, and he was proud to be there to take part in the gathering that day. Mr Rhodes then called for cheers for Mrs Hornbrook, the Rev. G. Barclay, and the chairman. These were heartily given and suitably acknowledged. A sketch of the obelisk, prepared in the office of Mr Turnbull, of Timaru, who is kindly superintending its erection, was displayed m proximity to the foundation stone, and it was agreed that it will prove a suitable memorial of the pioneers' appreciation of the progress of the colony up to the Jubilee year.
On one of the basal stones is an inscription : — "

Mr Partridge has shown us a handsome silver trowel made by him for the Temuka Pioneers' Memorial Committee, to be used on Thursday at the laying of the Memorial Stone in Victoria Park, by Mrs W. Hornbrook, the oldest of the Temuka pioneers. The blade of the trowel is of solid silver, with a handle of prettily mottled totara and silver cap. The blade is nicely engraved and ornamented, and altogether the trowel is a good piece of workmanship, completed on very short notice by Mr O.E. Partridge. It will be on view m his window to-day.

The memorial obelisk erected in Victoria Park, Temuka, by the "old identities" of the district to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the early settlers, was unveiled on Thursday afternoon by Mrs James Blyth, the second oldest lady resident, Mrs Hornbrook, her one predecessor as a pioneer, having laid the foundation stone. There was not a large attendance at the ceremony. In the absence of Mr James Blyth, who was too ill to be present [(James Blyth died at age 78, Oct. 30 1928, buried at Temuka)], Mr P. Coira presided, and apologised for the absence of many pioneers who were away from the district. The Rev. George Barclay was the orator for the day, gave an interesting address. Mrs Blyth unveiled the memorial, and Mr F. W. Stubbs, the oldest identity present, then gave some reminiscences of the early days of South Canterbury, and was followed by Messrs Levens and E. Pilbrow, and others moved various votes of thanks. The obelisk is of Timaru bluestone on three steps of the same material. It is 18½ feet high, and was designed by Mr James Turnbull, architect, and worked and erected by Mr W. H. Cain.

AUSTIN, James, Farmer, Ohape, near Temuka. Mr Austin was born in County Down, Ireland, in 1837, and was brought up as a farmer by his father. He came to Lyttelton in 1864 by the ship "Zealandia," and after farming for three years at Selwyn, removed to Temuka in 1867 - just before the heavy flood in that district. Mr Austin has a number of farms, and in addition to cereal growing, is a breeder of sheep and cattle at one time he owned a stud of Clydesdale horses. He was married in the Old County and has eleven children.

Mr Jonathan Batterbee, one of the earliest of South Canterbury settlers, and a well known resident at Temuka, was found dead in his bed on Sunday morning. Deceased had been ailing for some time, and latterly had been residing with his son-in-law, Mr James Findlay. Mr Batterbee will be remembered by earlier settlers as having at one time kept an accommodation house at the Hook, and as the proprietor of bullock teams engaged then on the track between Waimate and Timaru. He subsequently removed to the Temuka district, and engaged in ordinary colonial occupations. In his declining years he was a much respected employee of the Temuka Town Board, but latterly he has resided with his nearest relatives among whom he quietly passed away.
Jonathan (28) and Eliza Batterbee (29) arrived at Lyttelton in the Midlothian on 8 October 1851, sponsored by a Mr Black. He was a lamp lighter in later years and earlier owned a hotel at Hook Bush. He is buried in Temuka and listed under BATTERLY on the online database, plot 76 section B. Interred 21 Aug. 1900. His his wife had an Anglican burial service. No headstones. Many burials are missing from the records.
John DOWNES and wife, Sarah BATTERSBY (not to be confused with BATTERBEE above, no connection or spelling error) came to Lyttelton on Zealandia 1858 [passenger list page 4, col.b] [another list] from Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The family spent time in Temuka before shifting to Cave but I'm unable to establish what he did in Temuka but he worked on a farm at Cave before he died. He is buried at Pleasant Point cemetery. I know he lived in Arowhenua when arriving from Lyttelton with his family on a dray. He had a small son John 5 years (later buried at Pleasant Point with his father). Their daughter Mary died on the board ship. The John DOWNES buried in Temuka is John Sr's grandson. He was the eldest son, and brother Cornelius Francis DOWNES who was a saddler in Temuka until he retired. Folklore says John died from a sheep disease at 15 years old and presume this may have been hydatids. Sarah BATTERSBY, his grandmother, is buried with him as well as two babies. There is no headstone. Information courtesy of Margaret Todd, posted 19 Sept. 2009

Mr A.W. ENSOR. One of the early settlers of South Canterbury, Mr Alfred William Ensor, died on Thursday last [20th July 1922, aged 78], at Temuka, after a brief illness. He was born in 1843, being the third son of the Rev. Edmund Ensor, Vicar of Rollesby, in Norfolk. His mother, nee Pointen-Thomspson, was a sister of Lady Canterbury, whose husband, Lord Canterbury, was some time Governor of Queensland.

In 1866, the early days the West Coast diggings, Mr Ensor ran a big undertaking, supplying the West Coast diggers with fat cattle, being practically the sole buyer of fat cattle in South Canterbury. In this Mr Ensor experienced, the hardships and excitements of pioneering, fording flooded rivers and crossing fry mountain passes, as his contact, was to supply the West Coast market every Tuesday, wet or fine. For some time, until the inception of freezing works in Canterbury, Mr Ensor was in partnership with Mr Charles M. Smith in cattle and sheep business at Milford, near Temuka. In 1872 Mr Ensor married Miss Augusta Harte, who died in 1894 [2 Feb. aged 39]. During a residence at Orari and Winchester Mr Ensor did his full share of public service.

Protection sought for blue gum that marks location of first settlers' house in Temuka. Aussie giant part of history.
A TEMUKA woman is seeking Historic Places Trust protection for a blue gum tree in time for the 150th anniversary of its planting. Winsome Davey wants to raise awareness of the tree to enlist public support and to strengthen her application. The blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) stands by a stopbank of the Temuka River on a private title near the corner of Lachlan and Grant sts. Now 35m tall and measuring 8.4m around its base, it was planted in 1859 by George Levens, the first man to build a permanent dwelling in Temuka. An assisted emigrant from England, Mr Levens had arrived in Lyttelton the previous year. The tree grew from a seedling he propagated from seeds he was given by a visitor, who had picked them up off the ground in Cooper's Creek, about 640km from Sydney, and had carried them over in his vest pocket. Mr Levens died in 1935 at the age of 96. Mrs Davey said the tree was already listed on Timaru District Council's Schedule of Significant Trees. However, she believed the tree's age and historic status warranted a higher level of protection. She also planned to seek council funds to establish a signposted track from King St (State Highway 1) and an information board. She hoped these could be completed next year — the 150th anniversary of the tree's planting. Mrs Davey said the tree used to be easily accessible by a track across a paddock at the corner of Lachlan and Grant Sts. She had mistakenly believed the track was a gazetted road until three years ago, when a house was built across it. The house's owners had been surprised to learn that their house had blocked the path and supported having a new public path to the tree constructed across their property, Mrs Davey said. In 1956 a plaque was placed at the foot of the tree to commemorate its link with Temuka's pioneers. It reads: ''This marks the spot where the first settlers of Temuka built their house in 1860. The seed of this tree, the earliest known blue gum in South Canterbury, was planted in 1859 by George Levens.'' The tree has even been the subject of a poem. Written by the late Ethel Pemberton, a long-time Temuka resident, it is entitled Mr Levens' Big Tree and was published in a local paper 20 years ago.

Timaru, last night. Mr. Frank Worcester Stubbs, the oldest inhabitant of South Canterbury; died at Geraldine to-day, at the age 85 years. He was born in Coventry, and came to Lyttelton in the Samarang in 1852.
Evening Post, 22 April 1920, Page 7 AN EARLY PIONEER DEATH OF SOUTH CANTERBURY VETERAN.
Timaru, 21st April There died at Geraldine this morning, aged 85, Francis Worcester Stubbs, the oldest white inhabitant of South Canterbury. He was a native of Coventry. He came to Lyttelton in the Samarang in 1852, and assisted in bringing the first cattle to South Canterbury (The Levels) for Rhodes Bros, in the same year. At that time the track followed adhered to the coast, and wild dogs were met with near Ashburton. He saw the first small house erected in Timaru, and a few earlier comers (the sheepmen) lodging in old Maori huts of grass. Mr. Stubbs remained in the employ of Rhodes Bros, between four and five years, and then managed the Pareora station for Harris and Innes for six years. Subsequently he started the first auctioneering-business in Timaru. In 1880 on the formation of the Geraldine County he was appointed clerk, and held that position till he retired six or eight years ago. He was secretary of the South Canterbury A. and P. Association, and was for many years a member of the Timaru Road Board. He held the rank of lieutenant, in the Artillery Volunteers, and was a member of the Masonic body. He was an excellent officer of the county, and highly esteemed by all. He married a Victorian lady (Miss Crawley), and had a family of six sons and three daughters. Mr. Stubbs had a wealth of memories of the early days, and enjoyed relating his experiences.
Timaru Herald, 30 December 1918, Page 4 Alfred Crawley Stubbs
The sudden and unexpected death occurred late on Thursday afternoon at his residence, Tyne Street, Oamaru, of Mr A. C. Stubbs, manager of the Union Bank of Australia. The deceased gentleman had been laid aside for some live weeks past with pneumonia. The late, Mr Stubbs, who was a son of Mr F W. Stubbs, of Geraldine, was born at Timaru fifty years ago and received his education at the Timaru Boys' High School. On completing his school term he entered the service of the Union Bank, and had been a faithful servant there for a period of 33 years. During those years the deceased had been stationed all Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, and Timaru, and for the last eight years had been manager of the Oamaru branch. Mr Stubbs had a wide circle of friends, and much sympathy will be felt with Mrs Stubbs in the sudden loss of her life partner.
Press, 17 March 1911, Page 9
There were other early settlers whose names are not in the list, probably through the difficulty of obtaining the date of their arrival Messrs Archie McKinley, T. Hammond. M. Riley, D. Fergusson, sen., B. Gibson, the Popplewells, Wyatt, Peryman Massey, W. Begis, W. Bennett, and Martin Connolly were among the men who were first working in the Arowhenua bush, or connected with the first settlement. The first store at the Arowhenua bush, or Georgetown, was carried on by Mr A. McKinley, then by Messrs Dyson and Wood. The latter went Home, and on his return voyage was drowned in the wreck of the London. Mr J. A. Young was also associated with the business. Mr J.M. Martin also had a store in the bush. Mr Fergusson was the first schoolmaster.
Timaru Herald, 30 January 1869, Page 2
My attention is directed to and interesting account in yesterdays "Herald" of a pig, which was very successfully trained to act as a pointer. But this was an English pig, and I am sorry to say that the pigs of this town have not had much pains bestowed on their education, as, when they are turned loose, which is there usual condition, the height of their ambition seems to be to get into the gardens and do what damage they can there.
The Royal Hotel here has changed hands, the purchaser being Mr George Dyson, formerly of the Crown Hotel, who intends to carry on the business himself. In what line Mr Young intends to invest the fortune he has doubtless acquired in the house, or whether he proposes to enjoy his oliun cum dignitate, free from the cares and risks of business, I am not informed. Judging from appearances, it would seem that there is something either very pleasant or very lucrative in the hotel business, as it is almost universally the case that those who have once been engaged in it never seem to take so well to any other calling. Let us wish Mr Dyson all success in his new undertaking, of which there is little doubt, as he is held in universal esteem.

TriMas Corporation Announces Closing Of Amended Credit Facilities
TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) – a diversified manufacturer of engineered and applied products – today announced the closing of its amended and restated credit facilities. The amended and restated credit facilities are comprised of a $250 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit facility, a $200 million Senior Secured Term Loan A facility and a $200 million Senior Secured Term Loan B facility.
Under the amended and restated credit agreement, the Term Loan A and Revolving Loans initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% (subject to a step-up to LIBOR plus 2.50% or step-down to LIBOR plus 1.50% based on leverage ratio). In addition, the maturity on the Term Loan A and the Revolving Facility have a five year term ending on October 11, 2017. The Term Loan B bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a "LIBOR floor" of 1.00% per annum. The maturity on the Term Loan B has been extended to October 11, 2019. The refinancing process was led by J.P. Morgan.
"Due to the current attractive financial markets and the Company's strong financial performance, we had the opportunity to refinance our credit facilities with terms that were not only better than our existing facilities, but also better than expected at the launch of refinance," said Mark Zeffiro, TriMas' chief financial officer. "As a result of the refinance and the reduction in borrowing rates, on a pro forma basis, we estimate annual cash interest savings of approximately $14 million. In addition, we expect TriMas to benefit from the extended credit facility maturities and enhanced liquidity and capital structure flexibility needed to best position the Company for future growth. We are pleased we received such support from both existing and new lenders. As with all aspects of our business, we are focused on continuous improvement – working to improve our profitability and drive shareholder value."

The Occupy Oakland Protests
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 8:38am
Wow-over 400 arrests from the Occupy Oakland protests. What are your thoughts about these protests: Are they justified? Is it a bunch of whiners? Will it get worse? Should they just go home and get jobs?
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 11:00am
Not to say that everyone in the city of Oakland is obnoxious but...Oakland isn't exactly known for their calm/reasonable citizens (look at their football fans - just sayin!).
Police said a group of protesters burned an American flag in front of City Hall, then entered the building and destroyed a vending machine, light fixtures and a historic scale model of the edifice. The city's 911 emergency system was overwhelmed during the disturbances.
IMO, burning an American flag is totally and completely disrespectful, ridiculous and out of line.
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 11:50am
I think the original "focus" of Occupy was meaningful and needed to be heard but... As in many "popular" large-scale demonstrations, a combination of infiltration of "the wrong element" (I.e. people there for the heck of it) AND over-reaction of city officials and (GASP!) police... Well, the entire movement has degenerated into a mess. Crying' shame, if you ask me...
As for going home and getting jobs, a lack of jobs was part of the original reason for being there...
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 1:31pm
While I'm all for our citizens having the right to hold peaceful protests, it looks like this one really got out of hand. I was put off by the burning of the flag for one; just hacks me off when someone shows that kind of disrespect. I think of the thousands of service men and women who gave their lives for what our flag symbolizes and it makes me fume. Protest all you want, but don't tread on the sacrifices of others. And when a group starts damaging and destroying, breaking laws acting as if this will somehow get their point across, it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
I think the original occupy protesters served a purpose; people who wanted to voice their concerns publicly, using a means protected by our laws. In this case, it looks like some used the protest as a means to justify wreaking havoc...
If it was as simple as "just go home and get jobs"... but, sadly, it's not that easy.

Reviews For A Place for Warriors
It was a very worthwhile read - thanks for sharing!
I usually really don't like stories based on this challenge on being locked for 72h. This one though is extraordinary. As much as I believe that Rowling's Albus Dumbledore would never run to such means just to ensure peace between Snape and Potter — this one story sounds... like everything in its place, like everything has its base. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I liked the plot and the events, really. I also liked how your Snape isn't all running around and hugging Harry everytime something happens to him. Nope, the relationship between them is developing very slowly, and it makes these small gestures like Snape helping Harry with his burnt hands or stroking his hair — it makes them mean so much.
Hoping to read more of yours :)
Totally awesome! The gun, the Room, the dialogue, the feels!!
What a fantastic story - I can't believe I never read it before.
I'll have to go back now to re-read - I don't understand who took their photo while they were in Snape's past...

Dragonite w/ Multiscale gets up DD's really easily with roost and looks awesome
Although it pains me to admit it because I'm a big Salamence fan, I think that statistically speaking, Garchomp is a bit better.

gotta be garchomp
Founder Of TOTW
War record 9/0/0
Smogon rank 1345 (peak)
8/8 OSL Basges
Unbeaten on wifi
But does it really matter.......
Well, this is in the older gens forum, so I am going to go with Dragonite.
Undsiputedly the best Dragon type of 1st Gen.
But yeah, my answer would still be the Dragonite, because it is cool. I mean, it even has Nite in the name. That is like, the incorrect spelling of two words, and you can't tell which one it is. Vague and mysterious. And then it KOs you, or cures your team of status, or prepares to KO you by dancing around you, because Dragonite is so awesome it is allowed to dance, and the opponents can't do anything about it.
Oh, I am clearly not biased in any way with this though, especially since Dragonair is one of my all-time favourite poke'mon.
Garchomp is the best in my opinion but DNite is pretty beast with multiscale but honestly garchomp is just better when used right Example: in a Sandstorm its ability Sand Veil activates
actually kingdra is the fastest now with drizzle + swift swim. and since its only weakness is dragon, it outspeeds pretty much anything its weak too. and this is why we cant have fun in OU with drizzle and swift swim (major buzzkill for things like ludicolo and kabutops).
garchomp was created too strong IMO. if they at least brought down his speed that would be nice (since 102 is better that sally or flygon, whose niche as a ground-dragon was stolen by chomp). I still like flygon beter though. whlie it doesnt have pseudolegendary stats, it does have many things garchomp doesnt, like levitate, u-turn, fly (better for in-game of course)
I have claimed Giratina
Well, since Flygon generally uses a Scarf (or at least, did, I'm not that active in the 5th Gen discussion), it would be able to outspeed the others.
Thinking over my choice, while I still like Dragonite, Kingdra might actually be the better choice. In rain dance teams, (or with the new Drizzle Politoed, although apparently swift swim was banned with it in some environments?) Kingdra is probably the best, as it gets the Speed boost, and then can strike with either Dragon Pulse or Ice Beam (or Surf even), and dish out damage.
Then again, team support for Garchomp (for example, Tyranitar), could make it harder for Kingdra to work, and then Garchomp could KO it. (although it couldn't switch in safely, could it?).
Ever Dragon has their Niche. And who's better completely depends on the support from the team. None of them will work great if you don't provide them the right support.
Revenge Killing Goes to Garchomp
Sweeping goes to Salamence
Breaking Walls goes to Dragonite
Scouting goes to Flygon
Special Sweeping goes to Kingdra in the Rain.
If played right any one of them can tear an unprepared team to shreds.

I will have to say Dragonite. He is the first classc dragon, Learns good move(Like all the others), and is very bulky yet has good attack power
Pokemon HeartGold team:
Dragonite or Salamence, because they have high attack.
Dragonite has high defenses, while Salamence has high speed.
nam nam nam nam
I got no ideas for a sig
I love all of them. Kingdra looks cool, and it's a seahorse. That adds up to awesome. Chomp and Mence... no explination required. Dragonite & Flygon have popularity problems when compared to Salamence & Garchomp.
if you have some free time, check out my new updated song, ETERNAL NIGHT ~ last.fm ~ steam
Garchomp is the best
How many hammerhead sharks do you see on the land..??
Well i think it is salamence it has very good speed and you can boost one of the attack stat. It can learn also powerful moves.
The speed alows you to avoid being destroyed by ice beam. [my tactic on dragonite since it is slow is to use ice beam it is *4. You can also do it with thunder waves then confuse rays]
Its obvious that garchomp is the choice here. Its been ban in 4th gen and now 5th it has no counter's and can garuntee at least one kill. It isnt my favorite dragon pokemon out of the choices though.

Salamence. He is one of my favs and he is in a very high tier in Smogon. Garchomp is decent as well
Mine is Garchomp
flygon or salamence

(Photo above is from a wedding I attended this weekend- in Colorado - Same dress as blog a few months ago - this time with more room :-)
And in a completely other direction....
I blatently stole the quote below from Telany's page, but I really like it and I had to! :-) So kudos to Telany for the original posting. I wanted to put it in my blog so that I can read it / find it again!
People who are interested in losing weight:
1. Stick with it until something better comes along.
2. Take action only if they "feel like" doing it.
3. Need to see results in order to stay motivated.
4. Blame people or circumstances for their struggles.
5. Easily give up when they face challenges.
People who are committed to losing weight:
1. Stick with their plans no matter what.
2. Take action whether they feel like doing it or not.
3. Assume that if they stay motivated, results will follow.
4, Take responsibility for their actions.
5. Keep going in spite of challenges or setbacks.
(From: "100 Days of Weight Loss - The Secret to Being Successful on Any Plan" by Linda Spangle, RN, MA)
Ok... so I did a teeeeeny tiny bit of the AT! Not the whole thing.
Went for a hike yesterday. Something I would / could never have done in the past. It was a very challenging hike at first... very rough, rocky, steep. But it was great.
Afterwards, we dipped our feet into the lake and it felt like heaven.
In total, about 5 hours of hiking, and about 7 miles hiked. Woohoo! I am hooked. I want to hike next weekend now! AND kayak!
Who is this girl? And when did she decide to become such an active outdoorsy girl? lol
So I went to the (non-airconditioned) gym today, and since it was so hot there, I ditched my usual yoga pants and grabbed a pair of soccer shorts (that I haven't worn in years) instead. I was feeling a little nervous about that for a few reasons. One- I don't really like the look of my legs in shorts. Two- I don't like to watch myself jiggle in the mirrors at the gym. Three- in a word: 'thigh-chafe'.
What a surprise! The jiggle in my legs was suddenly replaced by quad muscles. Where did those come from?! When did my collarbone and cheekbones re-emerge? it was like waking up from a long sleep and discovering that I was suddenly strong and had muscles. And not an ounce of thigh-chafe in sight :-)
I just wanted to keep on that treadmill all day! It just felt so awesome!!
I tried on the bridesmaid dress today. THis is the one that I was really worried about fitting into last August. I can now put it on and take it off without using the zipper. A very very cool moment. Hubby helped me capture it by taking these photos. I clearly have no perspective of how much I've lost because I was thinking that the dress would be 'a little big' on me. lol.
Lately, I've been really enjoying shopping for clothes. This is a new phenomenon for me, because usually I would HATE how I looked in everything. Now I want to buy everything because I'm just so giddy that I'm trying on 10s and 12s. This is one of my latest acquisitions, at a recent event! The red cheeks are due to too much red wine! lol
I've also discovered that Goodwill has great clothes since I don't plan to stay this size for long!!!

Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.May 18th, 2012

Hey boyp482251,
Thanks for the question. Checked with Rossignol and found that the TMX 120 Ski Boot is their highest end Junior boot. An adult could use this boot due to the 120 flex and the 24.0 to 31.5 mondopoint size run, but I'm sure it depends on how you feel about the color as well.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — As Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson cleared out his locker at MetLife Stadium for perhaps the final time Saturday, he did so with a firm level of disappointment. The running back said his club had left an opportunity on the table.
"I just felt like we didn't show up. That's what's so disappointing," said Tomlinson, 32 years old, who will be a free agent following the season. "We've come through so many times before in those types of pressure situations and today we didn't do that."
Tomlinson was talking about his team's 29-14 loss to the Giants on Christmas Eve, but he might as well have been talking about the Jets' season in total, which was on the brink following the club's second straight defeat.
The loss, which dropped the Jets to a record of 8-7 with one game remaining, left the team in a precarious, must-win situation — and no longer control their postseason destiny. The Jets will definitely miss the playoffs with a loss at Miami next week. But even with a victory, the team would need significant help to earn a wildcard berth and keep the season going.

LG is the first smartphone manufacturer to jump on the Android Auto bandwagon
This means that some future LG smartphones might be among the first to add support for Android Auto out of the box. The company shed some light on some of its own connected-car solutions, most of which where showcased at Google I/O 2014. One of these is LG's audio, visual, and navigation system (AVN) – it allows drivers to pair their devices with their cars and make full use of Android Auto by simply plugging the smartphone straight to the dashboard via a regular USB cable. LG's AVN is expected to arrive by the beginning of 2015, probably along with the first vehicles that support Android Auto.
Google has not yet revealed what other smartphone manufacturers will support Android Auto initially, but with LG joining the party, it wouldn't be a bolt out of the blue if the likes of Samsung and HTC follow pretty soon.
source: LG via The Verge
Press Release
LG showcased its new range of audio, visual and navigation (AVN) system solutions for connected cars at Google I/O 2014, the annual developer conference held in San Francisco. LG's advanced AVN system, which is expected to be available by 2015, enables drivers to simply connect their Android device via a single cable to vehicles featuring Google's in-car interface platform to easily and conveniently access their smartphones' features and functions. For example, drivers can view and control their favorite smartphone navigation apps or search their mobile phone's contacts to make calls and send text messages through the in-car display.
With the global connected car market expected to reach almost 60 million units and nearly USD 100 billion by 20181, LG's industry-leading mobile devices and in-car infotainment capabilities will play a key role in the future of Android Auto. LG is also a global leader in 4G LTE, the main connectivity solution for connected vehicles today and in the foreseeable future.
"As a top technology company with a strong mobile business, LG has a great deal to contribute to the connected car space," said Jong-rak Lim, vice president and head of In-vehicle Infotainment Development at LG Electronics' Vehicle Components Company. "LG will strive to strengthen its cooperation with OAA partners to bring connected vehicles to consumers sooner rather than later."

Why using usb cable?
Why not NFC+Bluetooth+Qi
NFC for pairing
Bluetooth for data transfer
Qi for charging

What you see on screen is generated by the phone, not the head unit. I don't think BT is going to handle audio + screen info.
They also might have done that to make sure you put the phone down and use only the screen.

They need a system that works with (and takes advantage of) all smartphone OS's (BB/WP/AND/iOS). That will be the solution to all these incompatibility issues.
6. WahyuWisnu (Posts: 1001; Member since: 29 May 2014)
The problem is who's gonna follow who?
7. sprockkets (Posts: 1361; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
Volvo has already stated that their head unit will work with ios or android's setup.
Does MS even have anything at this point? Can't remember, I think they did.
9. sprockkets (Posts: 1361; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
Actually MS does have something but it's not ready yet. Too bad for them.
Mirrorlink is probably cross platform but it will have to deal with the back end. It probably will be DOA.

Unemployment Falls In 75 Percent Of US States
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ An increase in hiring helped lower unemployment rates in 37 U.S. states last month, the latest indication that the job market is slowly healing.
Unemployment rates are now below 7 percent in 23 of the 50 states. The Labor Department says rates rose in seven states in October and were unchanged in six.
South Carolina's rate fell from 9.1 percent to 8.6 percent, the biggest drop among states. It has fallen a full percentage point in just two months. The state gained 7,300 jobs in October, mostly in hotels, restaurants, education and health care, and government. Alaska and Wisconsin recorded the next biggest declines.Nationwide, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent in October. But it has declined a full point in the past year. Employers added 171,000 jobs in October. Job gains in September and August were also much stronger than initially estimated. That raised the average job growth from July through September to 174,000 a month, up from 67,000 a month in the April-June quarter. The biggest job gains among states in October were in California and Texas. California employers added 45,800 positions. Texas gained 36,600 jobs. Michigan, New Jersey and Minnesota shed the most jobs. Nevada reported the highest unemployment rate, at 11.5 percent. But the rate fell from 11.8 percent in September and is at its lowest level in three and a half years. It has fallen almost two percentage points in the past twelve months. North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate among states, at 3.1 percent. The state has benefited from an oil and gas drilling boom.

About the Ticket Supplier: Angels BaseballThe Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.
