5 Days Ago 04:24 PMBettyNewbieQuote:A player who likes a Pokémon will try to create viable strategies for it in the highest tiers. You can't dictate what people like. There are the sheep that only want to win and only view Pokémon as numbers, but there are those who are creative. The latter will be immune to Smogon's tiers.
Quote:or create moves that can repel SR and do more than Rapid Spin, for example.
Stealth Rock would be better as just a variant of Spikes/Toxic Spikes that nothing is immune to. That way, no types are unfairly shafted over others.
Quote:The DT counters aren't really ideal because they waste a turn, are too weak, etc. GF keeps trying to make evasion a widely accepted strategy, but is it viable? Currently, there are a lot of things that counter evasion. Keen Eye and No Guard negate evasion, but are very poorly distributed. Defog lowers evasion and erases entry hazards, but it's not ideal because it also erases YOUR entry hazards, and generally moves that lower stats don't see use. Foresight/Odor Sleuth/Miracle Eye force you to waste a turn. Lock-On and Mind Reader force you to waste a turn and are cancelled by switching (although switching cancels DT too). The never miss moves are too weak to take down walls using DT. Stomp/Steamroller only work against Minimize and are too situational. Evasion won't win you the game outright but it's a very powerful strategy with almost no decent counters. I can understand why it's banned. A Chansey with Minimize would be a nightmare to take down. Heck, it's even annoying in game. Juan abuses it in Emerald and on top of that Kingdra is only weak to Dragon so it's incredibly hard to take down if you're unlucky.
Generally people try to reduce the element of luck in games. The ATP wants to abolish the "let" (when a service hits the net and falls in the service area) in tennis to make matches quicker, but a lot of people are against it because, when the ball hits the net, very often the defending player fails to anticipate it and can't return it properly. Abolishing the let would largely benefit the player who's serving, who already has the advantage of the serve! Balls that hit the net already introduce an undesirable amount of luck into tennis. The game doesn't need even more luck to affect results. And tennis, like Pokémon, is a game where one play can decide a whole match.
Quote:One clause I'd like to see in Western play is item clause. Increases strategy, and nowadays we have dozens of viable items. Some clauses weren't even invented by Smogon, though. Sleep and freeze clause was the standard in 3vs3 official matches and Netbattle and GSbot adopted it for 6vs6 way before Smogon. There was OHKO clause in Netbattle, too. It has been the standard WAY back before Smogon was created, the only thing is that they weren't enforced, but when matchmaking you could specify your clauses and, if the other player accepted it, you could battle, if not, then farewell. No evasion clause, though. -
5 Days Ago 02:18 PMBettyNewbieAs far as SR goes, this passage nicely summarizes my thoughts on it:
Quote:A term that Smogoners seem to have an infatuation with is 'over-centralizing'. What over-centralizing means is that something (a Pokemon, move, item, ability, combination, strategy) is too powerful and is diverting too many competitive resources into dealing with and/or circumventing the over-centralizing element. For a quick example, take Sleep above. Sleep is very powerful, and if left unchecked will completely change the game into seeing who can sleep the other player first or who can strategize to bypass sleep and still prevail.
Enter 'Stealth Rock'.
Stealth Rock is a move that scatters floating rocks onto the playing field. When a Pokemon is switched in, it will take unavoidable Rock-type damage automatically. This damage is affected by typing, including weaknesses and resistances It may not seem like much. Nice, but nothing game-changing, right?
Stealth Rock does 12.5% damage to the Pokemon's total health at neutral. It does 25% of total HP to a Pokemon with one weakness to Rock-type, and a staggering 50% HP loss to Pokemon unfortunate enough to have two weaknesses to the Rock-type. What this means is that when unchecked, Stealth Rock causes a large number of Pokemon to come into battle a quarter or half dead. This simple move, only taking one turn to set up, single-handedly shuts down a sizable portion of viable Pokemon. Their tier rankings suffer considerably, and they are seldom seen not because of their stats, but because of their typing.
Is this move banned by Smogon? No. No it is not. While there are a few counters to Stealth Rock short of not running Flying, Fire, Bug and Ice Pokemon, they all rely on forcing your Pokemon to be the team lead, or dedicating a separate Pokemon with the move Rapid Spin to get rid of the rocks. If you do not, then you are forced to use these Pokemon at an extreme disadvantage, or not use them in the first place. It has gotten so bad that having a Stealth Rock user is almost required in every team, and if not, at least an answer to it. It's not considered just a strategy, but the strategy and a cornerstone of the Smogon meta-game. Banning it would result in a surge of new Pokemon being seen in all levels of play, resulting in more diverse teams, type combinations, and movesets. -
1 Week Ago 09:14 AMBettyNewbieThe problem with Stealth Rock is that is disproportionately hurts certain types (like Fire) more than others (like Steel). Sure, some of the types hurt by the hazard are already deeply flawed (like Bug and especially, Ice), but Stealth Rock only makes being either of those types even more of a death sentence, as well as hurting other types that are otherwise decent (like Fire and Flying). It's also just one more thing that encourages people to run Steel/Ground/Fighting (all of which are conveniently weak to a SR-weak type, along with resisting SR, themselves) over any other type.
GF obviously recognizes that SR is a teensy bit broken, since they removed it as a TM and buffed Defog, but as long as you can still transfer from Gen 4 and they continue to bring it back as a Move Tutor, it won't go away. It will take a hard compatibility cut, ala. RSE, to truly remove Stealth Rock. -
1 Week Ago 10:57 AMBettyNewbieQuote:That's not true. Mismagius has great stats for a Ghost and dropped from UU to NU this gen. There must be some other factor. Usually it's a combination of factors that make Pokémon drop tiers, including, but not restricted to, the fact that the metagame simply became unfavorable to the Pokémon.
Quote:Ice, however, does have a few good assets. STAB on Ice Shard is one. Few non-Ice Pokémon learn the move, and it's very useful.
Quote:The type doesn't exactly suck now, sure there are better types offensively and defensively, but it isn't as useless as you think, especially when prior to 4th gen there weren't many usable Dark-types.
Quote:Yeah but making it Fire/Ghost means it directly competes with Chandelure. It could probably beat Chandelure with a Sp.Atk boost since it's faster so it doesn't need a Scarf to outspeed anything, but it's a great risk because Chandelure, without Mega, already has 145 base Sp.Atk (stronger than Mega Houndoom).
Quote:But if you lack talent there's not much you can do. It's a bit harsh, but not everyone is equal. Everyone would like to play in the first leagues, but that doesn't mean the lower leagues are useless. In soccer there are many lower leagues with high attendance. But in sports it's a different thing, there are lower tiers in sports because of the calendar, not because of balance. There are 24(!) tiers in English football. It's impossible to make everyone play everyone. And it wouldn't be desirable since some teams are basically amateurs, others don't have money, so they want to compete against teams they can beat.
Pokémon who suck in competitive, on the the other hand, have no such options. Especially, when they're something that isn't supposed to "suck," like a Legendary. I mean, what use is there for something like Articuno or Entei? They're bad at battling, they aren't particularly easy to catch, and they don't even have some sort of good (but still inferior) non-battle use (like giving your Heart Scales or being a HM Slave).
Quote:But it's very difficult to balance. You boost something, it becomes OU, then something in OU suffers because of the boosted Pokémon and drops to UU. Game balance is complicated like that. The people who create the games aren't necessarily the best players, so they may not be able to anticipate the effects of something that's introduced to the game. Either that, or they simply don't care as much, considering the things GF gave Megas to. -
1 Week Ago 10:04 PMBettyNewbieQuote:Ghost is in a similar situation as Ice, and it's by no means a poor type. Hits everything neutral apart from Normal and Dark. Immune to Normal. Blocks Rapid Spin. Yet lots of the prominent Ghost-types are below UU, including Mega Banette.
In fact, Ice being so weak is part of the reason why Dragon became so overpowered in Gens 4 and 5. Ice was Dragon's only weakness besides itself, and most STAB users were outsped and nuked by Outrage/Draco Meteor/Fire Blast/etc. before they could even pose a threat. Meanwhile, the only type that did resist Dragon, Steel, had limited access to either Ice or Dragon moves and shared two of Ice's weaknesses (Fire and Fighting).
Quote:Not an issue when lore dictates Dragons are supposed to be strong and rare.
Quote:Fire/Ghost? So that it outclasses/is outclassed by Chandelure? Preferably it should be a defensive one, so that it doesn't compete with Chandelure. (although it's likely this will be its typing, after GF gave us Fire/Dragon Mega Charizard)
Quote:So it's a problem with Smogon's tiers that Farfetch'd is supposed to be a joke Pokémon?
Quote:The thing is, it's obvious there seems to be less care for NU than OU. The official tournaments don't follow the Smogon tiers, which means they favor OU as it's the strongest tier. So it's understandable that there's more effort put on balancing OU than the other tiers. Even then, VGC is radically different from OU, since Nintendo rules allow the regular Pokémon that Smogon bans, such as Mega Blaziken and Mega Salamence. Also, more people care about OU simply because it's the strongest regular tier, much like how more people follow the Premier League instead of the Championship in English football.
Quote:But now in 6th gen there are people wanting to create a tier below NU, to make more Pokémon see play. And, no, even in a PU tier, Farfetch'd wouldn't be a top threat. It's a joke Pokémon, it always was, and, unless they give it an overpowered Mega, such as what they did with Mawile (which managed to get itself banned to Ubers), Farfetch'd will always remain a joke Pokémon.
Quote:UU isn't bad at all, it's only the second-tier, there are nearly 400 fully evolved Pokémon, and 48 Mega Evolutions to take into account, especially when some Pokémon have the luxury of choosing whether to play their Megas or not. Some of them are going to be better than others.
Quote:TBH I'm personally a bit sad with Houndoom's current status, but the Mega is probably meant for Doubles since you can have a sun setter together with it and let it fire nuke-powered Fire Blasts straight away. It's yet another example of a powerful Pokémon whose strategy is ineffective, though. Smogon even lists sunless sets for Mega Houndoom.
I think Houndoom became RU because 1) lack of Ghosts in UU, which it could prey on; 2) Infernape got knocked down to UU, and Houndoom has no answer to Infernape. The Mega is also not useful without sun, and setting up sun without Drought is difficult. -
1 Week Ago 04:05 PMBettyNewbieQuote:Dragalge is slow, not powerful offensively, and had a **** ability prior to ORAS.
Quote:Black Kyurem is one of the biggest fails in Pokémon history, and you're using it as an example of how Dragons still succeed? Granted, Fairy-type didn't move it out of OU, but it's still only there because of its gigantic stats. Black Kyurem being OU is akin to Articuno being in NU: an abnormality.
Quote:As for the Latis, they can only be used in OU because Soul Dew has always been banned there. And, just like Dark-type didn't make Psychic unusable, the strongest Dragon-types would survive the Fairy onslaught. The Latis have excellent Speed and offensive stats. Their Megas aren't good because the offensive boosts are higher with other items.
Quote:So what? Have you even seen what's OU among Dragon-types in 5th gen? Only legendaries and pseudos, too. Haxorus is the only exception, but its stats are skewed and offensively better than other Dragons. Kingdra was OU at the beginning of 5th gen, too, but that was MUCH more because of Swift Swim and permanent rain than because of its Dragon-type. Once you took that out (Swift Swim), down to UU it went. The weaker Dragons did not punch above UU.
That being said, even the weaker Dragons still remained in UU, which is more than your average Ice, Grass, or Poison type could say. Their typing clearly was still helping them. (Kind of like how in RBY, even the worst Psychics--Hypno and Mr. Mime--were still superior to the best Fighting types and Bugs.)
Quote:While I certainly enjoy Charizard being OU, I don't think it should've been at the expense of Ninetales, a Pokémon which was ruined by the Special split in 2nd gen. Ninetales is ****ing PU in 6th gen. PU!!! That is, below NU! And it was never OU except for 5th gen, and only because of Drought. Charizard, on the other hand, enjoyed a certain degree of success in 3rd gen. If you're going to defend the weaker side, you'll have more success with Ninetales than with Charizard.
Of course, competitive has never been a kind place for Fire types and for one big, obvious reason. Gen 5 also made things even worse for them with the dominance of Drizzle Politoed.
Quote:Charizard being in NU with Farfetch'd and Luvdisc is not realistic, because they're not equal, even when grouped the same. Charizard is one of the top NU threats, while Farfetch'd is a joke Pokémon that is at the bottom of the usage stats even in NU. The affirmation that Charizard and Farfetch'd "share a tier" is a fallacy, because, in reality, they've never been in the same league, as NU has the dual duty of being an official tier as well as a dumpster for joke stuff like Farfetch'd, Delibird, and Luvdisc.
Quote:You can bet if Articuno had some sort of overpowered ability instead of Pressure, and more variety in offensive moves, it would leave NU, despite being Ice/Flying type, especially when its type combination is unique apart from a weakling like Delibird. -
1 Week Ago 10:31 AMBettyNewbieQuote:Not being weak to Fairies is huge.
Quote:Black Kyurem is only OU because of its gigantic stats. The Lati Twins have Megas.
Quote:In the current metagame there are a lot of Psychic-types at the top.
Quote:"And, think of all of the previously low tier Pokémon who got a much-needed second chance because of the Fairy Type." at the expense of others, no thanks. All the Fairy-type did was change who's at the top. But that's not only the Fairy-type's doing, of course. Ninetales was knocked from OU all the way down to NU because of Mega Zard Y and the fact you can't use Drought in the lower tiers. For every NU Pokémon who got bumped up I can recite an opposite example of a Pokémon that was OU but got knocked down because of power creep. Fairy-type didn't bring "balance", it merely changed who's at the top.
You cite Ninetales and Charizard, yet you conveniently forget where Charizard was just a Generation ago. In fact, the inverse relationship between Charizard's popularity and its competitive performance had become a running joke on Smogon. Do you think it was right for Charizard to continuously wallow in the Crap Tier along with such powerhouses like Farfetch'd and Luvdisc? Same goes for Kangaskhan and Mawile.
Quote:Strength and inadequacy to the metagame are two completely different things. Charizard has always been a strong Pokémon, but its strategies were simply ineffective. The only way you'd boost Articuno would be to recreate the Pokémon with different stats, different ability, different type even, like they did with Clefable and Gardevoir by adding to them a type that conveniently happens to be a hard counter to the previous strongest type. There are LOTS of strong Pokémon in NU of all tiers, and they're only there because the strategies they're capable of are ineffective in the metagame, or there's something else that does the same thing as them but better. -
1 Week Ago 05:16 PMBettyNewbieQuote:Of course they have. Salamence of all things is UU, because Mega Zard X deals better with Fairies.
The only Dragons that were really hurt by Fairies were Hydreigon (average Speed and 4x weakness), Salamence (mediocre defenses), Haxorus (average Speed), Kingdra (poor movepool and average stats all across), Kyurem (poor typing and movepool), and of course, Flygon (average stats all across). Kingdra and Flygon arguably weren't even hurt that much, as they are exactly where they were in Gen 5 (UU). In fact, none of these Pokémon (except Kyurem) are lower than UU, despite the nerf.
Compared to the complete nosedive Psychics took after RBY, that's not half bad. Dragon's even still a decent offensive type, unlike the complete crap Psychic became.
And, think of all of the previously low tier Pokémon who got a much-needed second chance because of the Fairy Type. The likes of Clefable and Gardevoir shot up from the bottom tiers to OU almost overnight, and Azumarill (UU in Gen 5) also became an OU powerhouse. This is a good thing.
Quote:And I really think certain Pokémon, mostly the legendaries, are more meant to be prizes, which is why they never gave Entei enough tools to surpass Arcanine and gave all the good moves to the latter. -
1 Week Ago 02:00 PMBettyNewbieQuote:Alakazam in RBY was nearly broken, it being knocked down a notch was a good thing.
Quote:Betty, in most games in existence there's always the strong and the weak, balance is desirable and I'll always fight for it, but balancing Pokémon is nearly impossible with so many fully evolved Pokémon and even some NFEs being used in competitive. This is why I prefer when GF creates Pokémon without consideration for the metagame. And this isn't the case of only the weak, but also the banned ones with their unique gimmicks like Aegislash. Things like Mega Salamence show GF probably knows deep down they can't balance this game.
But, then you have things like Arcanine, Lapras, Tauros/Miltank, the Humanshape Trio, Snorlax, and even certain Legendaries like Articuno, Moltres, and Entei that were clearly MEANT to be strong, whether based on their BST or position in the game, and yet, perform poorly in competitive, many even in the exact same tier as intentional weaklings like Raticate and Luvdisc. And, let's face it, competitive is the main thing that matters nowadays, for better or worse. Just one look at XY's content should tell you which crowd those games were primarily catering to.
About Me
- About Cerberus87
- Biography
- Basically someone who started playing Pokémon in 1999 and never grew out of it. My first version was Blue, which I still have somewhere but I'm pretty sure my GBC doesn't work anymore anyway.
I have severe OCD, so when I play I make up some "conditions" for my teams. Usually, my Pokémon's names must all start with different letters (used to mean that the Pokémon's *actual* names should start with different letters, so no Houndoom and Heracross together, but since I nickname I've made this condition more flexible), there must be no repeated types, and their general sizes can't be too different (a somewhat flexible condition). Yes, I'm weird like that. My ID also can't contain numbers I hate, so I restart the game until I have desired ID.

Sure, you love Rock Band, but shelling out the $170 for the requisite game and peripherals isn't even an option if you're a Wii or DS owner. Enter Disney Interactive, who think they can bring peripheral-free rhythm gaming to Nintendo systems with Ultimate Band.
No, the Fall Line Studios-developed game won't feature Mickey, Donald or other familiar characters (unlike some other Disney-fied rhythm games) but it will feature a "deep song list, dynamic venues, and customizable characters" according to the press release. The Wii version will let players use the Wii remote and Nunchuk to play drums, guitars and "front man" while the DS version will also let players "create their own original songs ... and apply creative mixing effects." The portable version will also include support for Disney's DGamer online social network. Look for both versions by the holidays.

Singer Chubby Checker files lawsuit over racy app
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Rock and roll legend Chubby Checker is twisting mad over a software application that allowed women to estimate the size of a man's penis based on his shoe size.
The singer, whose real name is Ernest Evans, filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Hewlett Packard and Palm Inc. in federal court in Fort Pierce, Fla., on Tuesday, saying that the app "adversely affects Chubby Checker's brand and value."
The app, which was called "The Chubby Checker," was an unauthorized use of Checker's name and trademark, the lawsuit alleges.
"He's hurt," said Checker's attorney Willie Gary. "He worked hard to build his name and reputation over the years."
The app is no longer available.
Checker, who is 71 and lives in Pennsylvania, is seeking a half-billion dollars in damages and restitution.
HP issued a brief statement about the matter on Thursday.
"The application was removed in September 2012 and is no longer on any Palm or HP hosted web site," wrote Michael Thacker, HP's director of corporate media relations.
He told The Associated Press that the app was removed the same month that Gary sent a cease-and-desist letter to the companies on behalf of Checker.
It's unclear how long the 99-cent app was available to customers.
According to the industry website WebOSNation, the app sold fewer than 100 copies.
The app was not developed by HP or Palm; it was developed by a third-party. The app developer is not named in the lawsuit.
"We're going straight to the source," said Gary.
According to court documents, the lawsuit was filed in Florida because HP and Palm do business in the state.
Checker did not give permission or receive compensation from the app, which purported to be for entertainment purposes only.
The lawsuit said that Checker has received patents and trademark licenses for his name to be used for a line of snacks and other food products.
Checker's song, "The Twist" was at the top of the Billboard charts for 18 weeks in 1960 and became an iconic tune of the era.

Port of Dover future decided
Plans for a massive development of the Port of Dover can go ahead after the Shipping Minister arrived in the town to lay out his plan for the Port's future today.
He said he wanted to put the people of Dover at the heart of decision making - and allow the board to raise the money needed for its ambitious development plans.
Sarah Saunders spoke to Shipping Minister Stephen Hammond, Chairman of Dover Harbour Board, UNITE steward Michael Doel and Dover MP Charlie Elphicke.
Regeneration for Port by working with the community
Shipping and Ports Minister Stephen Hammond has set out plans for the future of the Port of Dover.
The plans will enable the community and port to work together, boosting commercial development and potentially regenerating the port.
Stephen Hammond said:
Two men charged after "substantial" amount of Cocaine is found in bags
Cocaine - potentially worth millions of pounds - has been seized at one of Britain's main gateways, in Kent, in a lorry carrying a cargo of plastics.
Around 138lb (63kg) of the Class A drug were found in bags in the cab of a Swiss-registered vehicle at the Port of Dover.
Border Force officials said that once cut and sold on the streets, the potential value of the drug could have run into millions of pounds.
Two Italian men, lorry driver Santo Virgadaula and passenger Giambattista Rovillo, both 53, have been charged following Monday's seizure.
They were both remanded in custody when they appeared at Folkestone Magistrates' Court and will appear at Canterbury Crown Court on February 3.
The case has been passed to the National Crime Agency for further investigation.
Paul Morgan, director of Border Force South East and Europe, described it as a "significant seizure".

Tanker drivers in custody after stowaways found inside tanker on ferry at Dover
Two tanker drivers are in police custody in Kent after an emergency at the Port of Dover in which 15 asylum seekers were heard knocking - in apparent distress, from the inside of a tanker on a cross-channel ferry.
Some of the fifteen people were treated by paramedics at the scene. Two were taken to hospital. They were all were tested for exposure to hazardous substances.
The incident was a chilling reminder of the tragedy at Dover 13 years ago, when 58 asylum seekers were found suffocated in the back of a sealed lorry. David Johns reports.

Asylum seekers discovered in tanker at Port of Dover
Fifteen asylum seekers have been found in a tanker onboard P&O's Spirit of France ferry at the Eastern Docks in the Port of Dover. Meridian reporter David Johns spoke to our presenter Amanda Piper about the incident, live from the scene on the afternoon of 11th July 2013.
Lorry driver jailed for smuggling cannabis into Dover
A lorry driver has been jailed for three years for trying to smuggle £300,000 worth of cannabis resin into the country through Dover.
Seamus Keenan, 48, from Newry in County Down was stopped at Dover's Eastern Docks in January 2011.
When his vehicle was examined Border Force officers discovered 107 kilos of cannabis resin hidden inside a counterweight. He was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday 20 May 2013.
Top port job was 'a challenge'
Mr Goldfield said in a statement announcing his departure from the role of chief executive:"For the past 11 years, I have had the honour to be the Chief Executive of the UK's premier port and certainly one of the World's busiest ports.
"Those 11 years have been, in turn, exciting, demanding and challenging."
The Port's Chief Operating Officer, Tim Waggott, will be appointed as Acting CEO on June 1. Mr Goldfield will carry out other duties for the harbour board in advance of his September departure.
Port chief stands down after difficult year
The Chief Executive of Dover Harbour Board, Bob Goldfield, is standing down at the end of the month after 11 years in the job.
It follows a difficult year in which plans to privatise the port were blocked by the Government and live animal exports resumed.

Anyone ever dealt with Autosport Group in Delray Beach, FL?
Hey everyone,
I am looking at an 08 LP 640 coupe from Autosport | Delray Beach, FL - Luxury Used Cars, trucks & SUV's, and I was wondering if anyone had ever interacted with them before? I've been a Ferrari (I know, I know) person until now, but I'm ready to switch teams. I've been trying to find an LP 640 that jumps out at me and I'll probably trade my F430 against it...these guys seem to be quite aggressive and they have a Murci that I really like...but I wondered if someone out there could tell me any stories (good or bad) to help in the decision. Thanks Jake |

Sophomore Sam Tierney earned SEC Male Swimmer of the Week honors on Nov. 13. |
Nov. 13, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - University of Missouri sophomore swimmer Sam Tierney was named the Southeastern Conference Male Swimmer of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday. The honor marks the first weekly award of Tierney's career.
A native of Plano, Texas, Tierney claimed two individual wins and was a part of a relay victory in Mizzou's meet vs. Georgia on Nov. 9. He won the 200 breaststroke in an NCAA `B' time of 1:59.46, which stands just 0.02 seconds off the fastest time in the SEC this season. Tierney also clocked a 48.59 in the 100 backstroke to win the event, a time that is also the second-fastest in the SEC in 2012. He was also a member of Mizzou's winning 200 medley relay team that claimed the event with a swim of 1:29.74.
Tierney is the third Tiger to earn SEC weekly honors so far this season, joining juniors Loren Figueroa and David Bonuchi, who both earned SEC Diver of the Week accolades in October.
Mizzou next competes in the Mizzou Invite Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at the Mizzou Aquatic Center.

So impressed with the CP Xtra!
Hi Ceri,
I am so impressed with the CP Extra. I use it as a 'balancer' to my natural feeding and it's been brilliant. I was having terrible trouble getting some weight on my cockers, but after only 3 weeks of combining CP Extra with their food, they started filling out, and now they look lovely, are much more relaxed, and really enjoy their food.
My other dogs are also fed on CSJ and I have to say, I would not feed anything else now. I'm very impressed!!

Mattson home built to accommodate a growing and active family
It was just meant to happen. This is how Mark and Lori Mattson feel about the new home that they moved into in early March. If you would have asked them a year ago if they would be in a new home now they would have had a negative response. But as they quickly learned, life is never certain and the future holds many unexpected challenges.

-- Launches DaVita Diet Helper(TM), an online planning tool for
kidney-friendly meals
-- Q4-07 meal delivery revenues increased 167% from prior year period
-- Completes migration to new integrated, end-to-end technology platform
"We are very encouraged by our progress on our strategic initiatives and excited about the opportunities ahead," said President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Rattner. "In 2007, we focused on strengthening our foundation to support our transition from a direct-response, Internet advertising model to a multi-prong business model that captures cross-selling opportunities in digital diets, meal delivery and other e-commerce, and leverages those core wellness capabilities to service our customers. We have completed the migration to our new flexible technology platform, which is key to driving our consumer and corporate websites and better monetizing our customers with an end-to-end solution for weight loss and wellness. In 2008, we intend to capture a larger share of the marketplace as we expand our B2B relationships and continue to position eDiets for long-term revenue and profitability growth. Just as we created the digital diet depot and subscription-based business model, we are creating a new integrated business model where we power major websites-both co-branded and private label-offering weight loss and wellness commerce programs."
eDiets.com remains comfortable with previously issued 2008 revenue guidance of approximately $50 million and is providing blended gross margin guidance of 49% for the year. This guidance reflects the anticipated benefits and operating leverage from the new integrated technology platform, accelerated growth of the B2B business and the expansion of the meal delivery program, as well as cross-selling opportunities.
Conference Call
The company will host a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter
and full year 2

Lola Black
Even though Lola Black's lineup includes former members of Blister 66, Snapstick Dynomite and the Eight Bucks Experiment, the band's new six-song EP, Día de los Borrachos, isn't entirely a punk affair. Sure, there's a punk spirit in revved-up cuts like "Hit the Road" and "Take Back," but the rest of the tracks are more rooted in refined hard rock and metal. Full of catchy hooks and riffs, "Better Left Unsaid," the EP's opener and strongest track, borrows from both worlds. Throughout the disc, frontwoman Lola Black, who sounds like a grittier and more vigorous Gwen Stefani, is not afraid to belt it out when she needs to. Although the EP's title means "Day of the Drunks" in Spanish, the partying seems to have stopped at the studio door, because the band sounds tighter than ever.

GAA rejects motion to open grounds to other sports
GAA Congress in Co Cavan has rejected a motion which would have seen all county grounds opened to non-GAA sports.
GAA Congress in Co Cavan has rejected a motion which would have seen all county grounds opened to non-GAA sports.
Marty Morrissey reports on the 2015 Congress where Cavan native Aogán Ó Ferghail took over as GAA president
A 63rd-minute goal from corner-forward Donal O'Hare was the crucial score as Down edged past Cavan in a dreadfully-poor Allianz Football League clash at Kingspan Breffni Park.
We examine some of the key motions up for debate at this weekend's GAA Congress in Cavan.
Cavan had way too much scoring and running power for Laois, consigning Donie Kingston's two first-half goals to an irrelevance with an eye-catching display to win 0-17 to 2-06 at O'Moore Park in their Allianz Football League Division 2 clash.
Reaction from managers John Evans and Terry Hyland to the draw between Roscommon and Cavan
An injury-time point from Martin Reilly deservedly rescued a point for Cavan as the Breffni County played out a 1-11 to 0-14 draw against Roscommon in the Allianz Football League Division 2 match in Kiltoom.
Tyrone came from behind to win their fourth successive Dr McKenna Cup title with a 1-13 to 0-10 win over Cavan at the Athletic Grounds.
Cavan senior footballers will take on New York in Gaelic Park in a two-legged encounter that will honor Mick Higgins, the captain of the 1947 All-Ireland winning side.
Tyrone and Cavan are to meet in the Dr McKenna Cup final, after the Red Hands defeated Armagh by 3-10 to 1-08, and the Breffni men were 1-08 to 1-07 winners over Fermanagh.
Despite drawing with DCU 1-14 apiece in Navan, Meath booked their place in the O'Byrne Cup semi-finals, while UUJ edged out Cavan by a point with a 1-08 to 0-10 victory at Breffni Park in the Dr McKenna Cup.
Derry defeated All-Ireland finalists Donegal by 1-16 to 0-08 in the McKenna Cup first round while there were also wins for Tyrone, Cavan, Fermanagh and Antrim.
Derry champions Slaughtneil held on for a 0-11 to 0-09 victory over Cavan Gaels in the quarter-finals of the Ulster Club SFC at Owenbeg.
Former Mayo star Liam McHale has joined Terry Hyland's Cavan football management team as player performance coach.
Cratloe, Rhode and Cavan Gaels were among the winners of Sunday's county senior football finals.
The death has taken place of Seamus Morris, who was goalkeeper on the last Cavan team to win the All-Ireland senior football championship in 1952.
Former Armagh star Oisin McConville has paid tribute to departing boss Paul Grimley, saying he restored pride in the Orchard County.
Martina Dunne scored four important points from play as Laois got their campaign on track with a nine-point victory over Cavan in the TG4 Ladies Senior Football Championship qualifier at St. Peregrines.
Claragh O'Reilly scored 0-07 and claimed the player of the match award as Cavan dumped neighbours Meath out of the TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC on a 1-15 to 0-13 scoreline.
Rampant Roscommon surged past Cavan and into round 3B of the All-Ireland football qualifiers with a third quarter scoring burst to seal a 0-16 to 0-05 victory.

How about discount tickets to Rodger & Hammerstein's Carousel at the Civic Opera House? Goldstar has them for you!
Experience Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel, which Time magazine called the best musical of the century. Swaggering, carefree carnival barker Billy captivates and marries naive millworker Julie. Losing his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant, Billy, desperate to provide a decent life for his family, is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught in the act and facing prison, he takes his own life and is sent "up there." Returning to earth for one day 15 years later, Billy encounters the daughter he never knew. A lonely, friendless teenager, her father's reputation as a thief and a bully has haunted her throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love. It's easy to understand why, of all the shows they created, Carousel was Rodgers and Hammerstein's personal favorite.

I didn't even know that command existed in D2. When was it added, or was it there from the start?
That could've come in handy so many times. :/ |
It becomes a mechanic flaw when players repeatedly stop attacking to pick up loot unintentionally. The flaw lies in the fact that left-click is both an attack command and a pick-up command. /nopickup allows the left-click to function only as an attack command unless you choose it to become a pick-up command. |
I am just going to have to shut up and agree with all you just said. Everything you listed is a valid point. Why not just use this point too...save some more addicted folk from carpal-tunnel syndrome and give us the gift of LESS CLICKING amen brother!
I didn't even know that command existed in D2. When was it added, or was it there from the start? I'm not sure if it was implemented at launch or not. I didn't start using it until I went online with D2 circa 2004-ish. It was the very first thing I did when I logged in, everytime. As a matter of fact....it was one of the first things I tried to figure out the first day I played D3. I thought to myself "Surely there is a toggle command for pick-up". All there is, is a few options for how loot is displayed. Nothing that toggles pick-up. It's time for this to change and the only thing that will bring this change is player input and insistence.
Edited by BurningRope#1322 on 5/1/2013 2:49 AM PDT
I strongly support this idea.
I am a freezing Wizard and whenever there is a significant amount of loot on the ground there is a chance of picking up an item which interrupts my freezing cycle. Instead of casting my spell with left click it runs to the item to pick it up. This leads to all kinds of nasty outcomes including me being dead. |
+1 . Supporting this idea of a fellow forum member @ dfans Good ideas here...hope to see some sort of fix/implementation supporting these ideas.
Having a "pickup radius" for items that you can predetermine via check list or what have you would be awesome.... that way it would seem like a bonus for items with "gold&items" radius extentions.
I just logged off after doing some Keep Depths runs, and I was thinking about this thread the entire time...mostly because every five minutes, I had to stop in the middle of my monster slaying and pick some useless junk out of my inventory. I never really played D2, and hence had never heard of this /nopickup option, but now that I have, it just sounds like such a good idea. So I decided to come on the forums and give you a free bump, BurningRope, because I don't want this awesome thread of yours to get buried beneath a bunch of troll posts.
Thanks for the support. We need more, unfortunately. We'll get the point across....sooner or later |
C'mon blues... at least tell us you are going to submit this as a request on behalf of the community.
Kinda shameful that a real flaw is being pointed out by so many here and yet....I hear crickets. The same button (left-click) is being used (without option) for two different actions. Left-click is both an attack command and a pick-up command......in a game that surrounds the player with drops. The fact that there is no toggle to distinguish the use of left-click for a specific command is a FLAW. It's being pointed out, yet the CM's aren't getting involved. Worse yet, the players aren't either. Both the players and the CM's are too involved in troll threads to notice a thread where an actual game flaw could/should be fixed. Look at the top popular topics. Mostly troll topics and silliness. |
I'm shocked that this isn't getting more attention. It's sorely needed for any non-WW melee build.
I suppose just tell people to come here and give their 2 cents. I'll do the same and maybe after time, the matter will get some attention. |
This dev team absolutely hates everything even remotely related to Diablo 2, even mentioning that in the thread means it will never get read. Simple things like this have been asked for numerous times, along with an identify all, hide whites, etc. All extremely valuable ideas that SHOULD have been implemented already when the game was released, but weren't because this dev team has their head up their you know what about implementing anything D2 did right.
Bear in mind, ID-All has been brought up and is being implemented, and it's the players whom made this happen. I hated having to mention a D2 feature, but it's the simplest way to fix this. A 12 year old idea that, it would seem, is crucial for the genre. They made the combat so smooth and impressive....it's a shame that the ebb-n-flow of their amazing combat system is spoiled by such a benign issue. I'll bump this thread for the next year if I have to.

On higher MP's there is a ton of garbage on the ground. It would be really nice to have to alt + click to pick it up or at least have the option to use that or not. Also if we had an option to turn off white/grey items altogether that would be fantastic. Turning off gray/white/blue is never happening. They've already said that they want them to drop so that yellows don't become the new white. Otherwise, I see no reason Blizz couldn't implement alt + pickup toggled option, as it would make combat more efficient for players. |

Also if we had an option to turn off white/grey items altogether that would be fantastic. Thank you. Though I appreciate everyone's opinion, I DO NOT think whites/greys should be toggled off/eliminated. I'd rather BLIZZ think of some way to use them. Junk loot is part of the genre, part of the internal drop mechanism. Calling for such change in this thread is a distraction and I'd like to focus specifically on toggling the left-click into having one function at a time. As opposed to the way it is now, left-click serves two simultaneous functions (attack/pick-up) and this must be fixed.

Considering it was first brought up during the closed beta and it still has not been implemented, I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
I don't think you understand what that means, at all. We're not asking for whites/blues not to drop, we're asking for them not to be shown. Saying rares will become the new whites....what does that even mean? Are you really comparing potential ilvl 63 BiS items....to whites? You clearly missed the boat on this topic. |
Picking up junk off the ground is so bad, I've resorted to setting my main attack to my right mouse button.
Can't pick up junk with right click. |

We stayed at the Chalet Motel in October and found it to be quiet, away from the traffic, very clean and comfortable. We had a fully equipped kitchenette, a comfortable king size bed, a little patio with table and chairs outside with a nice view. The price was very reasonable for such a nice room and during the height of... More
