This is one of my go to handcreams during the cold Canadian winter months..this saves my hands! I get winter eczema on my hands and this does a good job of taming down the redness and prevents future irritation.
I do not find this helps with extremely dry skin, but nor does this cream claim to fix/repair dry skin. but i am on the look out for one that does. In the meantime I will continue to use this and will repurchase. :)

For too long I've ignored my hands. I usually have quite a bit of dryness in the area between my thumb and index finger. I finally decided to make an effort to change that.
I picked this up after reading many reviews. The Eucerin also had good reviews but I guess it has AHAs or something which can leave your skin more vulnerable to sun damage. Since I have extremely fair skin & don't want any more unnecessary aging on my hands, went with the Aveeno.
This product doesn't have a strong smell, it soaks in quickly and works well. It doesn't really last through hand washing but I guess thats ok.
This is such a find. Provides instant relief, absorbs without any tackiness, softens and smooths skin immediately. Truly fragrance free, and the benefits seem to last, especially when I use daily. Wish the tube was "prettier", but works so well, is so affordable and has such good ingredients. Beats every other brand I've tried, and it feels like I've tried them all, including the pricy ones. Hope it's never discontinued. No gimmicks, just results.

Excellent product at a really low price. I have rough hands since beginning of summer due to gardening without gloves (can't really garden properly with them on) and the soil sucks all the moisture out of my hands. No other cream has relieved this problem till this one. Non greasy, absorbs immediately and has no smell. I have used both drug store brands and high end brands of hand cream and none of them moisturized as fast and thoroughly as this one. I will def. repurchase.

I alternate between 3 hand creams: L'Occitane Shea Butter in my bag to apply during the day, then Avveno Intense Relief and Neutrogena Norwegian Formula at bedtime. The reasons I'm currently using Aveeno more than the other brands:
-the product is absorbed immediately into the skin
-the is absolutely NO greasy residue (I can't stress this enough)
-the product is 100% fragrance free
-it is non-irritating for those with sensitive skin
That said, I will re-evaluate this review in about 3 months after I've given the Aveeno time to work its magic. So far I am most satisfied with the fact that the product is absorbed immediately into the skin; I hope this means that it is going to do serious work and not just sit on the surface of my neglected hands.
Lastly, I just read a review over on sunscreen that concluded with very wise advice: young girls, don't neglect your hands & chest when using sunscreen & moisturizer. Trying to play catch-up is no fun, lol!!!

More reviews by itismebutterfly
i cant stand greasy lotions___who can???___this is one is brilliant. i read the reviews and wasnt still sure but grabbed it.
i always now keep it by my computer:apply it and immidiately start typing,which you cant do with greasy hands.
my hands super soft,yes,even after i wach them 2-3 times.
I am a religious appplier of hand cream every night, and not untill I bought this (on advice of a magazine's best product list) did I ever see a major difference.
My hands are so incredibly soft I cannot believe it!
Great stuff, highly reccomend

I've been using for a year now. Its pretty good. Soft on the hands. Only buy it when its on sale. Sorta pricey. Non greasy. Dont have that weird smell to it.
This is the only hand lotion that I can use without any issues. It does everything that it says it does. I have eczema plus rough calluses from playing an instrument, and this stuff really does soothe and do the job,even in winter. It isn't greasy, so you can put it on and go about your normal business in about less than a minute. It stays on through a couple rounds of washing your hands, which is amazing for me because washing your hands when you have a flare up of eczema can be really painful. If you have a rash or cracked skin, this won't sting either. Better than prescription cream, and no weird smell (I think it smells like oats). Seriously worth the 6 or 7 dollars you pay for it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Theres one feeling I hate more than anything in the world: dry hands. For some reason it makes me cringe. I have been buying lots of more expensive hand creams like from sephora and have been dissapointed. With this hand cream it really doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy and it keeps my hands moisturized for a good period of time. It claims 24 hours, but I wash my hands all the time and the moisture will last through at least one hand wash. Which I find to be amazing. I leave this hand cream at home though and apply it before I go out (it is too large to bring for travel in my opinion). If they came out with a travel size this would be perfect and I would bring it everywhere I go! If you've been on the hunt for a great hand cream and have been coming up empty handed I suggest giving this one a try. I got 3.5 oz for about $6 at walmart. I get over twice the product for a less price for better quality than more expensive brands!

More Info
Aliens: Colonial Marines |
Gearbox Software |
US Release Date:
Autumn 2012 |
UK Release Date:
Autumn 2012 |
Those naughty boys at Shacknews have been spreading rumour and strife about Sega and Gearbox's upcoming FPS, Aliens: Colonial Marines. Randy Pitchford, President of the latter outfit, has stepped in to reassure anxious fans that the game is still in production, despite an unconfirmed number of layoffs and slow sales of Gearbox's last release, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.
"Aliens isn't canned," Pitchford insisted. "We've made some transformative changes and yes, that's meant some talent changes, but that's not the real story."
"The true relevance of the story will actually be irrelevant until we release our next game," he went on cryptically. "At which time I hope there will be a lot of interest in what we've done that can produce such results."
Pitchford subsequently described reports that the game had been cancelled as "inaccurate characterizations".
We're thankful for that, as last time we checked Colonial Marines was looking rather tasty. A tactical first-person shooter, it puts you in charge of four of those titular marines and sends you scuttling around the innards of various Alien-infested installations. Players can order their allies around with context sensitive commands, or switch characters to do the dirty work themselves.
All going to plan, the game will support four-player online cooperative modes and two-player split-screen. On the Xenomorph bench, you can expect Alien Queens, Warriors and Facehuggers, all of them responding intelligently (and terrifyingly) to your actions. The story is being penned by Battlestar Galactica writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is slated for release on PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2009.

Archived Discussion
This is discussion archived from a time before the current discussion method was installed.
In the Ben 10 example, Ben couldn't change into Stinkfly to save Max and Gwen; Stinkfly can barely carry Gwen aloft.
: Not always true: Stinkfly carries them ok during Cannonbolts debut ep. He certainly has much less carrying ability than Four-Arms, though. (ETA: And at least the watch didn't turn him into Grey-Matter...)
: I'm pretty compelled to retort with the Voldemort example. First, because he's a
, and he's just as supposed to include flaws on his plans as a ditz is supposed to act dumb. Second, because JK's justification about his pride(
, again) works pretty well for most of those acts. The part where he doesn't create hundreds of Horcruxes, though, puzzles me.
Seven Seals
: Well, if you accept that Voldemort only made Horcruxes out of things that were significant to him because he's prideful, it's not unreasonable to assume that he just ran out of things he considered significant. And it does explain why he doesn't create hundreds — he doesn't need to, because he's so great that it's inconceivable for any enemy to get far enough in destroying his Horcruxes to be a threat to him.
There's also the idea expressed in the books that you become less human with every Horcrux you create — although Voldemort clearly didn't give a rat's ass about his humanity, he might have felt some negative effect nonetheless, and stopped when he thought he had enough. All that soul-shattering can't be good for you, even if you are an evil bastard. Maybe he felt himself get stupider with every Horcrux... That would explain a good deal of things.
: In a setting where
The Power of Love
eventually binds you and yours into a stronger power than you can take by force, plunging into the latter means making yourself into the kind of person who would do so, utterly mutilating your worldview.
Not that I can think of works where this happens beyond
Harry Potter
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Lord Voldemort was a man obsessed with his own power and superiority before he started obliterating his own humanity. There's no way that he'd come out of that with a realistic grip of his prowess and a capacity of relating to others' ways of thought. Of course this kind of evil overlord makes mistakes and is at times his own worst enemy - he wouldn't be in that position if he wasn't deeply and irrevocably broken.
Voldemort wanted specifically to make six Horcruxes because he thought seven was a magically significant number of portions to split his soul into (one in him and one in each Horcrux). This doesn't excuse his choices of hiding place though, as he doesn't appear to need any of the Horcruxes near his person, there's no excuse for not getting, say, one of the later Apollo missions to take one along and leave it behind, as his main period of activity was in the 1970s.
: Now, I haven't read
Harry Potter
at all, but the
Justifying Edit
in there seems like someone is a bit too obsessed with
. Sure, you could
certain things about why Voldemort did what he did with Horcruces.. Horcruxes...
Soul Jars
. I could also assume that
kept him from doing anything else - doesn't make it what actually happened. Could someone familiar with the series edit the Justifying Edits so that all the info in there is actually justified in the books?
: So, I tried to accomplish it. Go check it.
Re: Sonic Adventure 2's Security Hall stage. Rouge has five minutes to complete Security Hall, then gets stuck in the safe. Shadow then has ten minutes to complete his next stage (White Jungle) to get back in and save her, arriving in the nick of time because even villains get to be
Big Damn Heroes
Lord Seth
: Agreed; while I generally am against outright removing trope examples from this page, that example isn't just debatable, it's a flat-out incorrect claim. What
happen is Rouge has fifteen minutes left, gives herself five minutes to do the task, and then after getting trapped Shadow has
minutes to save her, which would be impossible if Rouge did wait until there were five minutes left. (exactly how this works with the boss battles taking up more time is unclear, but it's still obvious, even from the animation, that Rouge starts searching for the emeralds right away) Removed.
: Removing the last comment on
Lord of the Rings
- it honestly sounds like whoever wrote it didn't even read the "wall of
Justifying Edit
after Justifying Edit," which had nothing to do with overconfidence.
As amusing as this wall of
Justifying Edit
after Justifying Edit is, it doesn't change the fact that the entrance to Mount Doom was left completely unguarded. He didn't even bother putting in some kind of door. That's not overconfidence. It's just stupid.
: I dislike the
Justifying Edit
only a little less than the next guy, but it's neither surprising nor necessarily counterproductive to have them on this page. While
Tropes Are Not Bad
, the
Idiot Ball
is. Some bits of
could certainly do with a clean-up, but others are legitimate counterpoints to things that could be easily seen as stupid, but, well, make sense given the situation.
: Bearing in mind that, by definition if I'm not mistaken, a
Justifying Edit
is more of a knee-jerk reaction than something that actually justifies a scene, should we really be referring to all these genuine reasonings as "
Justifying Edit
"? I like "
better, and if there's no objection (or no one beats me to it), I'm changing it.
: Just a consideration:
"And killing heirs didn't save Cronus, did it?"
Actually, it was exactly
in killing his heirs that caused his death. Had him not trusted his wife to fetch the younglings and deliver to him, he'd probably succeed.
Trimmed this page down a bit. Most notably, the Harry Potter Horcrux and LOTR Mount Doom problems would fit better on
It Just Bugs Me!
. The Marmalade Boy example was an act of deliberate malice, which may be stupid, but isn't this trope.
In the
Death Note
examples, is anyone else bothered by the implication that it's somehow unknown whether L was "really" speaking Japanese or English? —
Document N
Masami Phoenix
: I have to vent about the 10th Kingdom example. I think it's ridiculously unfair to claim that Virginia should have realized Wolf loved her and "only wanted what was best for her" and should have just chosen to lived happily ever after with him, when he had just denied her the one thing she'd been going after since she got here, possibly forever dooming her to live in a world not her own, where not one, not two, but three dark forces (Huntsman, trolls, and the Witch) are actively seeking her destruction, all to try to woo her into marrying him. Yes, his heart was in the right place, but that doesn't change the fact that he just screwed her over royally to get what HE wanted.
: Pruned the various M. Night Shyamalan examples. While the examples regarding
The Village
and the aliens from
truly are
What an Idiot
moments, the rest are mostly a combination of
Genre Blindness
(Bruce Willis not realizing he's dead or that Samuel L. Jackson is evil) and
Complaining About Movies You Don't Like
M. Night Shyamalan's
The Village:
A girl finds out that her community is, actually, an assbackwards collection of neophobes who have sheltered themselves from technology and logic. Her father is one of the stupid fuckwad Elders who conceived of this plan.
You'd expect:
Her to demand that her father return them to civilization, where they can enjoy the benefits of technology and medicine (the village has neither.)
She enters the logical world for 10 seconds in order to get some medicine, then returns.
Sixth Sense:
The main character is dead.
You'd expect:
Him to notice that the one who communicates directly to him is a psychic. He should, also, have noticed that this happened shortly after he was shot in the stomach.
He completely ignores all the evidence until the end.
The main character is a superhero being trained by a mentor.
You'd Expect:
Him to realize that the mentors in comic books and movies (except Professor Xavier) are always evil and be very suspicious.
He trusts the mentor and is surprised when he proves to be evil. This is for some reason, considered a twist ending.
The main character's wife's dying words are, "swing away." Her death causes him to become an atheist, until his son hits an alien with a baseball bat and saves the family.
You'd Expect:
Him to realize that his son would have done this regardless, thus the words made absolutely no difference. God, obviously, did not speak through the wife.
He believes that the statement saved the family and regains his faith in God. A God who almost allowed the world to be destroyed.
There is a species of aliens for whom water is a lethal acid.
You'd Expect
that these aliens would stay far away from a planet that's over 70% water. Or, at the very least, they'd stay in their advanced interplanetary spaceships for the duration of the invasion, or they'd wear some sort of environmental suits to protect from the deadly acid that exists in gaseous form in the air and frequently falls from the sky.
, the aliens invade water-soaked Earth, on foot, naked.
You'd Expect
that aliens advanced enough to conquer interstellar travel would be somewhat intelligent, or at least technologically superior to humans.
, these aliens are unarmed (except for gas-shooting talons that require close combat), are outmatched by baseball bats and glasses of water, and are outsmarted by
closet doors
you'd expect
that these hydrophobic creatures would finally be repelled in a scheme that makes use of the planet's prodigious water supply.
, news reports say that the invasion is repelled in the
of the Middle East.
Clearly, the "What an Idiot" here is
M. Night Shyamalan
Please thank this troper for saving about 10 hours of one's precious time from incredibly shitty B movies.
: I don't think that the
example really qualifies. Sure, what Yuuichi did is highly impolite, to say the least, but I feel that the "cardinal rules" he is supposed to have broken are just pulled out of thin air. All's fair in love and war, see. He
manage to stop Mai and Reito from kissing. At the time he also clearly didn't care about his own date, who pushed herself upon him, so he wouldn't care if she'd be upset. The only thing that might not be smart is upsetting
at that moment, since she is the only one who really matters to Yuuichi.
: Deleted this example, the whole point of sending that girl was that she was blind and thus
wouldn't notice the change of setting
. As far as she knew, she went to a nearby town to get some medicine.
M. Night Shyamalan's
The Village:
A girl finds out that her community is, actually, an assbackwards collection of neophobes who have sheltered themselves from technology and logic. Her father is one of the stupid fuckwad Elders who conceived of this plan.
You'd expect:
Her to demand that her father return them to civilization, where they can enjoy the benefits of technology and medicine (the village has neither.)

: Cut because the explanation, which is most likely accurate, renders it moot. Not idiocy, just typically unpredictable
Imported Alien Phlebotinum
Ben 10
, "Ultimate Weapon": The Forever Knights take Grandpa Max's weapons and utility belt, and throw him, Gwen, and Ben into a pit to fall to their deaths.
You'd expect
: Ben uses the Omnitrix to turn into Stinkfly (who, as the name implies, can fly), saves his grandpa and cousin, and flies out of the pit.
: Ben transforms into Four Arms, who can't fly. Sure, he actually makes it out, snatching Gwen and Grandpa Max out of midair and scaling the side of the pit via brute force. However, it would have taken a minuscule fraction of the time and effort to just
Over the series, the Omnitrix is shown to turn Ben into whatever the hell it feels like, whether it's what Ben wanted or not, so there's no guarantee he'd get Stinkfly whether he selected it or not.
: I wanna nominate a scene in The Dark Knight movie, I just don't know who to nominate. It's the judgement of leaving a lone policeman in a room with the Joker without him bound and several weapons trained on him, but I'm not sure how to word it or who was the biggest idiot.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan
: Cut these and put them here because of the justifying edits. If it's truly justifiable, it's not the sort of sheer idiocy we want to list here.
: the episode "The Message," where Mal and Zoe's old war buddy Tracy is being hunted by organ-pirates after his expensive innards. Tracy comes into the bridge and overhears Mal talking about giving up and letting the bad guys board the ship. Tracy wigs out, grabs a gun, and takes Kaylee hostage because he doesn't hear the whole plan, which is that they were going to lure the bad guys on board and either kill them or indimidate them into leaving. Now Mal and the rest of the crew have Tracy at gunpoint.
You'd Expect
: Mal tells Tracy the actual plan, calming his fears and getting them all out of this alive.
: Mal draws out the standoff unnecessarily, argues with Tracy about how stupid he is, and eventually fatally shoots him.
Justifying Note
: Mal was a sergeant in the war, with Tracy under his command. Furthermore, Tracy actively sought him and Zoe as the people he could most trust to help him. Given all this evidence, it's only reasonable for Mal, not to mention the viewer, to expect that Tracy would follow orders and trust the sarge. When Tracy overhears the plan, he instead goes from zero to panic mode in about half a second, and becomes drastically less reasonable about things. Mal could probably have tried, but chances are it would have turned out largely the same.
In the episode
Mal & company encounter a ship that they determine, upon further inspection, to have been scoured by Reavers. After noting that Reavers are not known for leaving survivors, they find a living guy aboard babbling about slaughter.
You'd Expect:
They peg him as a Reaver and either kill him on sight or leave him and hightail it back to Serenity.
They take him aboard and leave him in the medical ward. Sure enough, the man turns out to be
and tries to kill the crew, forcing them to kill him anyway.
Justifying Note:
He didn't start babbling about "slaughter" until they'd brought him back to the infirmary - before then he'd just been babbling about "no mercy" - and it only became apparent he'd actually been transformed into a Reaver when the cruiser's commander pointed out how he'd been self-mutilated, something Mal never saw. Mal also makes it clear he'd like nothing better than to put a bullet in his head for mercy the moment he dopes the man, but holds off, presumably because of the rest of his crew's presence.
Bionicman: I put back the first one due to the justifying edit not holding up. Just because a character doesn't fully think things through, that doesn't give other characters carte blanche to act like utter morons.
—- About the
Minority Report
2nd example, I doubt that Anderson's move was that idiotic. If he would avoid the predicted murder site, the whole precrime project would fall, as there would be an incorrect prediction
As in the end of the movie.
. In order to prevent that, he must find out what is going on. Sitting on his ass and turning up at the last minute would have save him, but not the project.
—- About the Malcolm in the Middle example: while
Mit M
certainly has a lot of moments that would qualify, I'm not really sure that one fits. It seemed fairly realistic to me, in that the whole thing was a set up by her ridiculously bitchy sister in law...and when she's standing there, she realizes how deliberate of an insult the whole thing was. It's just the last straw. There's no way for her to win- making a fuss, or just quietly accepting it.
I always felt that she was simply in complete shock, since she had clearly been making an effort to endear herself to Hal's family (who had been repeatedly stated to hate Lois before that episode) and that they had seemed to be responding to it, only for it to turn out to have been to keep her out of the family picture. The crying in her closet afterwards was because the sisters-in-law then proceed to cruely mock Lois.
: What is the any reason for the removal of the
Black Lagoon
: My deletion reason was supposed to say "wouldn't work in practice". My mistake.
: Naruto example -> I removed the Tenten vs Temari entry ('CAUSE IT'S WRONG!) and trimmed down the
Naruto vs Pein entry
. Including the Justifying Edit against my former Justifying Edit. Now on to delete the
One Piece
The Sword of Thruth example. While it seems to be common on this wiki to attack Goodkind, the fact that the Boxes of Orden does not work the way Richard learned in the first book is possible for the reader to discover as early as Temple of the Winds. We are told earlier in the series that the magic of Orden and the Book of Counted Shadows were supposedly created at the same time, the book being the manual. In Temple we learn when the confessors, mentioned in the book, are created. That is after the book was supposed to have been written.
Lucky Star
examples are not
What an Idiot
moments by any stretch of the imagination. They both have justifying edits already present, but I think they should just go entirely. The first one (about downloading shows from bittorrent if they are
cancelled because of live events
) seems like whoever wrote it didn't get what Konata was talking about (perhaps a case of
Lost in Translation
The second example (about dad being drug away with Konata not intervening), even if it wasn't explicitly stated in the anime, is it really that hard to imagine that a daughter is embarrassed by her dad?
With this in mind, I took the liberty of deleting both examples. Here they are for posterity:
Lucky Star
: Konata complains that she can't get to watch the most recent anime because a lot of baseball games have been going to extra innings. When the other girls point out that she could get cable TV, she says she somehow can't get it.
You'd expect
Konata to find a way to download the raws of any chapter she missed, maybe with Bittorrent or something similar.
she just keeps complaining that she can't watch her daily dose of anime without doing anything about that.
this is most likely because no producer would like to see someone in TV
actively promoting copyright infringement
. In this case, this is a consequence of
Executive Meddling
In addition,
there are no raws because these are Japanese premieres in Japan! When the premieres get pushed back by sports you can't bit torrent it because there is nothing to bit torrent.
Also in
Lucky Star
: Konata's dad is taking pictures of high school girls in the sports festival. He's spotted by a couple of guards. Cut to Konata watching his dad being dragged away while he's saying "But I thought my daughter was there!".
You'd expect
Konata to say "I'm his daughter, leave him alone!"
she lets them drag him away.
being the daughter of a
Dirty Old Man
would make the authorities suspect Konata's being abused by her dad, so maybe it was better off this way.
To this troper's memory, Konata wasn't even present, but watching the event on TV, and seeing her dad dragged by the cameras. It's a bigger mystery why her dad was dragged away in the first place, since it's a public event, and he's certainly not the only one with a camera. Unless he tried to get panty shots or something equally creepy, they shouldn't have had any trouble with her.
She was there, competing in the festival. Her attitude suggests this is nothing new.
Konata mentioned in the manga that she was
whenever her dad comes to school. It is obvious that she highly disapprove of her dad's
I Like Crows
: Would an example from a Let's Play count as
Video Game
Web Original
: I think there are a bit too many "howevers" floating around, turning legitimate entries needlessly into natter. Maybe we should clean this page up a bit.
: Removed the following
Thread Mode
The party comes across the
Staff Chick
after the aforementioned disappearance, and when Cloud goes up to check on her, he behaves erratically, as if under mind control again. They stop him from carrying the deed out, however.
You'd expect
the entire party to take this as a not-so-subtle hint that Sephiroth will be in the area shortly, if he wasn't there already, and kabob Aeris should Cloud prove himself inadequate, and prepare to protect Aeris accordingly.
they twiddle their thumbs and watch Aeris die.
You'll note
they had all of about a second and a half, if that, between when Aerith looked at them and Sephiroth stabbing her. I'd
to know exactly how they were going to stop him given they were A. quite surprised that he'd shown up, and B. focused more on having stopped Cloud from doing it.
As you wish
: Cloud had signed for them to stay back when he checked on Aeris alone, just like how he went down alone to grab the Black Materia at the Temple of the Ancients after it had finished condensing. And that incident didn't happen too long ago. Is the collective memory of the entire team
to forget about such a thing? You'd think that letting Cloud get near Aeris alone, especially given how it ties in to Sephiroth's plot, would be the
thing on everyone's minds. Screw Barret's advice on not traveling in a large group; the more on hand in this place, the more lookouts they could have had for Sephiroth's ambush, and they could have spared a few to [A]
physically restrain Cloud
and [B]
get Aeris to safety as soon as possible
! No matter how you look at it, the whole incident reeked of
Idiot Plot
for everyone who wasn't Sephiroth. And that's without touching the whole
Phoenix Down shitstorm
, thank you very much.
: If all he characters were psychic, maybe. Between when they stopped Cloud from doing it and when Sephiroth stabbed her, there was,
, three or four seconds. By the time anyone even has time to say, "What the hell, Cloud?" Sephiroth's already mid-stab. There wasn't time to discuss or even mention things like, "Sephiroth's around here somewhere, we better get Aerith out of that specific spot, because I somehow have some precognitive sense that he's going to attack her in this specific manner!" Think about it. Up to then, Sephiroth had been perfectly content to send monsters at the party any time he showed up. Him actually showing up and
killing one of them was completely unexpected; by the time they process "Oh crap, he's here!" Aerith is already dead. Yes, all of those plans and precautions make sense
in hindsight if you already know what's going to happen
. You are seriously underestimating the element of surprise here.
Who said the team needed psychic powers? It comes down to pattern recognition. Why do you think it's called a
Batman Gambit
[A] The aforementioned Temple of the Ancients incident showed that Cloud could be mentally influenced by Sephiroth. As soon as Cloud
drew his sword
which the game forces the player into doing
) before a prone Aeris, alarms should have gone off in everyone's head; instead, they went off just as he swung. Seconds
count, as you argue, and a couple more could have meant a successful defense.
[B] At the same incident, after turning over the Black Materia, who did Cloud beat the shit out of? That indicates that Sephiroth knew what kind of threat Aeris represented, and since Cloud didn't pull it off the first time...
[C] Cloud knew, as soon as he woke up, that Aeris was on her way to the City of the Ancients (see above). Given how easily he could manipulate Cloud, Sephiroth had acquired THIS knowledge as well. The location of the City, at the time, was highly sought by, if not already known to, Sephiroth. I needn't iterate on the implications of
[D] Let's sum up all the appearances that Sephiroth made, even those where he's not before the party - the murder of President Shinra introduced him, the death of the Midgar Zolom showed how powerful he is, then there's the massacre aboard the Junon ship where he partly reveals his motives, his brief appearance at the Gold Saucer served no strategic importance, his conversation with Cloud at the Shinra Mansion revealed much more about his motives than is to be expected so soon in the story, and then the whole Temple clusterfuck showed the methods he had at his disposal to fulfill his ambitions. The whole thing was a cookie crumb trail, and the party didn't even half-piece it together until well after Aeris' death. Cloud not piecing it together I can understand; he's the
Xanatos Sucker
. But Tifa is smarter than she appears, as is Nanaki/Red XIII, and Reeve pulled off a heist of the Keystone in recent memory, yet not any of them could even attempt to comprehend the whole rotten plot in play before them. Strike four; that's enough outta you!
The reason this debacle drives tropers to ire, besides the Phoenix Down shitstorm, is that the whole thing is a gigantic
Idiot Plot
for everyone who isn't Sephiroth that Square Enix played for maximum drama. The level of
genre savviness
required to comprehend this isn't that great, either.
There may be an example of this trope in there, but it's buried in natter. If anyone wants to dig it out and phrase it in such a way that won't be a natter magnet, be my guest.
Anaheyla: Sephiroth is the
Word of God
defined single most powerful being in the
universe. Even given mountains of prep time, there's no conceivable way they could have protected Aeris if Sephiroth wanted her dead. While it is mildly
Wall Bangerish
that they didn't at least try to do something, it likely would have ended up with more people dying and it's hardly a
What an Idiot
moment for them to accurately recognize that there's nothing they could do even if they tried to do something.
Removed an example of the
Villain Ball
In one episode of
Samurai Jack
, Aku agrees to spare the village of a genius scientist in exchange for said scientist building him some really powerful robots to kill the title character with. The scientist does so.
You'd Expect:
He'd take them and leave. He has what he wanted, and the village is harmless to him.
He decides to "test them" by destroying the village anyway
for no reason whatsoever
. This naturally leads to the scientist giving jack the means to defeat the robots.
Aku would break deals. He did so with the fish men when they captured Jack for their cities being allowed to go back to the surface, which resulted in them managing a rebellion and rescuing Jack.
Cyn Wakefield
: What on EARTH is the second page quote referring to ... ? Okay, "basketball," but it doesn't make any sense as a quote for
What an Idiot
without context.
: It's a reference to the 2009 Orlando Magic, who lost in the NBA Finals to the Lakers in 5 games (which can be seen because of the references to beating the Celtics and the Cavaliers). It's probably from one of two sources: somebody who picked the Magic to lose both series and felt like an idiot in hindsight, or picked the Magic to win in the Finals and was then embarrassed as they lost. Either way, without attribution or context it should go, and even with both, it doesn't seem to fit
What an Idiot
. It should go.

Athens. Tx (KETK) — No license, no problem, when it comes to fishing this Saturday.
June first is national fishing day in Texas, where anyone can fish on public waters without a license.
Many area fisheries are preparing for the celebration with food, as well as fishing competitions, with much of the focus being on the kids.
They are hoping days like Saturday will help a new generation fall in love with the outdoor sport.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,265 ViewsThis is the story of the last of the dashkin. The people are all gone and in a world of innocent animals, the solitude, the sadness and bitterness have corrupted his view of life. What does the future hold for such a tragic creature? Will he wander the planet, forever alone until his death? Will he always be the wild King of Brackenwood?
It's a massive honour to be nominated for a 2nd Tank Award, thanks NG! Thank you for front page, all the great reviews and the incredible score for Daily Feature.
Thanks to Brackenwood fans and donors for all the support not only during the 4 weeks I spent making this, but also in the 2 years since I submitted Waterlollies.
Since then I've been working on the Brackenwood feature film outline with my good friend Ryan O'Loughlin. With no plans for a new web episode in the meantime it occurred to me that Brackenwood fans could be waiting years for the feature. I didn't want to abandon them altogether, so this new movie is my way of staying in touch with them and the NG audience.
This is the first Brackenwood short to break away from the "character introduction" style movies that had little or no character motivation and plot. This is a story, not only answering a lot of questions, but asking just as many new ones.
I used Flash CS3, the .fla is over 300MB (half of that is audio) and it took me 4 weeks.
Don't worry I won't be leaving it another 2 years. I plan on starting storyboards on the conclusion in jan-feb 2010.
The new part of the brackenwood!
This is something we all have been waited for! New brackenwood flash will always make us all happy and pleasant.
Adding depth to a memorable, enchanting land.
I remember the time I first saw a brackenwood movie. The world enchanted me, and I loved the characters. There was no real plot, other than Bitey causing mischief around the land. The more I watched the animations, the more I came to love Brackenwood and it's inhabitants. Time passed, and I had forgotten about the movies, and this morning I hop unto Newgrounds and the first thing I see is a silhouette of Bitey as a featured animation. I watched it, and I must tell you that I love it. You've added voice and a plot, and yet you still manage to keep the phenominal style of animation, as well as the bits and pieces that made me love Brackenwood in the first place.
All in all, I just have to thank you for the flashes and hope to see much more in the future!
Thanks for noticing :D
After a bit of a false start with a rogue watermark, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's set to Medium quality by default btw, so if your computer can cope, right click and turn it up :)
Thanks again
Its good to see another brackenwood
I've been a fan for a long time. I really like your national geographic narration.
All in all your cliffhanger left me disappointed, just really expecting more and wanting more. Can't wait for the next one.
I been longing for this movie, and here it is! AWESOME!
Everything was great, narrator, music, the animation. It has such a flow!
Can't wait 'til the next one is out! Awesome work man! :D

"Kakuzu....the visiting hours are over..."
"I don't care..." he said weakly, not looking at his mom, just at the sleeping Hidan. "I'm not leaving his side...not for a second..." he said sternly.
His mom sighed, disappointed and looked down at her watch, then at over at him. She sighed again, sadly this time, and walked over from the door and sat in the other chair next to him. "Okay..." she said, putting her purse and jacket in her lap. "We'll stay..." she said, smiling.
Kakuzu smiled, still looking at the sleeping, injured Hidan in hospital bed. He squeezed Hidan's hand tight then lifted it up and kissed it softly. He rubbed his cheek on it, begging softly "Please wake up..." He gulped back the tears and kissed his hand again.
Acheing pain...throbbing pain...warm hand...
Hidan slowly opened his eyes and saw the darkness above him.
He groaned and rolled his head over to his left and saw Kakuzu right up next to the bed in a chair, asleep, his hand clasped in his. Hidan smiled weakly, he groaned in pain and rolled his head back over on the soft pillow.
He layed there for some time, trying to remember the events before...
He remembered running out of the store...
...then a screaming pain...
...then nothing...
He layed his head on his side, looking over at Kakuzu, and smiled. He wanted to call his name, but his thoat hurt for some reason, and his chest did too, so did his right arm.
He tried to wiggle his right arm, but it wouldn't move. He rolled his head over and didn't see any skin, just white. He gasped when he realized it was a cast. He rolled his head back over to look Kakuzu.
He squeezed his hand weakly, hopeing to wake him up.
Kakuzu's body jolted and looked around, scared. "Huh?" he said, sleepily.
Hidan laughed weakly.
Kakuzu looked down at him and smiled, trying to hold in all his excitement. "Hidan..." he said softly, but excitedly. "You're okay..." he smiled and he lifted his hand and kissed it, then rubbed it against his cheek, loving to hear his voice again.
Hidan giggled, loving his touch again. Then asked, worried "What happend....to me...?"
Kakuzu looked at him, sadly, then put his hand down, not letting go of it. "Well, the doc's say you where hit by a car going 30..."
Hidan's eyes widened in fear, he held his breath and asked "A...a car...?" he gulped.
Kakuzu nodded. "You broke your arm, almost all your ribs on ur right side and you got a head injury..." he said sadly, then he smiled. "The doc's are surprised your not paralized..."
Hidan continued stared at him, awestruck, not knowing what to say.
Kakuzu smiled, sadly saying "I'm just glad your alright." he got up and leaned over and kissed Hidan on the cheek.
Hidan didn't move, he was still thinking about what Kakuzu said earlier and how the hell he survived it all.
Kakuzu sat down back in his chair. He noticed Hidan's scared face and his smiled faded. "What's wrong?"
Hidan gulped and looked up at him. He shook his head and rolled his head over on the pillow, looking down at his feet. "Nothing..." he said, weakly. "Just...unbelieveable...is all..." he gulped. He looked back over at Kakuzu, who was smiling now.
"Don't worry about it, babe..." he said, lifting his hand up and kissing it again. He looked down at his hand, stroking his thumb across it. Hidan watched him, slightly confused.
Kakuzu looked at him, and smiled. He let his hand back down, not knowing what to tell him.
"I was really worried about you..." he finally said.
Hidan blinked, then smiled. Kakuzu smiled back and leaned over and kissed his bandaged forehead. Hidan smiled bigger and giggled softly.
"You should get back to sleep..." he whsipered to him, then he sat back in his chair.
"Mmmmm..." Hidan whinned in aggreement as rolled his head back. "Fine..." he looked back over at Kakuzu, who was laying back in his chair, yawning. Hidan smiled and giggled and looked back down at his feet and closed his eyes, drifting slowly off to sleep...
He opened his eyes when he remembered something. He rolled his head over to look at Kakuzu, who head was leaning back, snoring softly. Hidan giggled and smiled. He whispered weakly "Kakuzu..."
Kakuzu's head shot up, tired. "What what what?" he asked, looking around the room, then at Hidan. "Babe, go back to sleep...please..." he begged, then yawned big.
Hidan smiled bigger. "I wanted to tell you something..." he said. He blushed and looked back down at his feet and closed his eyes...
"I love you too..."
Kakuzu kissed his cheek. "I'm glad..."
Hidan groaned and opened his weak eyes. He saw Kakuzu smile getting bigger as he opened his eyes.
"Ka....Kakuzu?" he asked confused.
"Hey..." he said softly, then kissed his healing head.
Hidan looked around confused. "Wh..." he started. He looked back at Kakuzu. "Why did you--?"
"Hidan-chan!" he heard screams and cries as he saw a flood of kids force their way into his tiny room. Hidan's eyes widened in joy and fear as they came up to his bed side and onto his tiny hospital bed.
Kakuzu chuckled. "They couldn't wait for you to get home."
Some kids piled around his bed, and some climbed onto his bed into his lap, clinging on his unbroken arm, anyway to have Hidan-chan closest to them.
"Hidan-chaan!" one girl cried in in his face. "A-Auntie....Auntie Trisha said...sh-she s-said th-that...that you shoulda looked both ways!" she cried, stuttering from excitedment. She nodded in aggreement to herself.
Hidan giggled. "Did she now?" he asked, laughing again.
"MM-HMM!" she nodded again quickly. "Yeah yeah yeah, a-and that you should get better...r-really really SOOOON!" she said, wideneding her eyes, trying to look intimidating.
Hidan laughed, wideneding his eyes in fake fear. "Did she say that? Oh no!!" he cried, his head flying back in terror. "Oh nooo!" he cried again.
Kakuzu watched him, laughing to himself. He watched him, with all his little friends, laughing and making sure everyone got the attention they wanted. Hidan loved them all very much, and he couldn't see one sad or depressed.
"Okay okay, give the boy some space." someone called.
The kids looked back at the woman and whinned sadly. They got off the bed and backed away from the bed and gave Antie Trisha the room she needed to walk up to Hidan.
Hidan sunk his head low and looked away. "I'm sorry..." he said pouting cutely.
Auntie Trisha looked at him funny. "Sorry for what?" She asked.
Hidan smiled and looked up at her. "I didn't look both ways before crossing."
The little girl giggled.
She laughed and bent down and hugged him tight, trying hard not to hurt his arm. "I'm just glad your okay."
Hidan hugged back with his good arm. "Me too."
Trisha straightened herself up, looking down at Hidan, smiling. She looked up at Kakuzu, surprised. "Oh, hello..." she said nervously.
Kakuzu blinked and smiled. "Hello." he said, holding out his hand. "My names Kakuzu."
Her face brightened. "Kakuzu." she said, taking his hand "I've heard so much about you."
"Auntie!" Hidan shouted. He slapped his hand over his reddening face.
They both chuckled as they let go of each others hands.
"Sorry, Hidan." she appologized, looking down at him. "But I'm just so glad to meet him." she said. She looked back up at Kakuzu. "So...you're the boy he keeps talking about."
"AUNTIE!!" Hidan shouted again, louder this time, letting his head fall back defeated.
Kakuzu laughed looking down at the losing Hidan. "Sorry babe." he said sweetly.
Hidan just groaned, not moving.
Kakuzu was about to say something, but he felt something pull on his pant leg. He looked down at his pant leg and saw the little girl that was talking to Hidan earlier.
Kakuzu blinked confused.
The girl smiled. "I like you..." she said happily.
Kakuzu's eyes widened, then he smiled. "That's go-" he started to say before the girl clung to his leg.
The girl smiled bigger and snuggled to his leg. "Kakuzu-chan!" she squealed cutely.
Kakuzu bluhsed and sweated a bit. "Uh...yes...that's my name...don't ware it out...." he said, nervously, trying to walk away.
Hidan giggled looking down at the girl. "Aya, let go of him."
Aya whinned and looked up at Hidan, frowning. "But...b-but Hidan-chaaaaaan" she cried.
Hidan sighed and stared her down, playfully. Aya did the same and let go of Kakuzu and stomped off, angry at the world. Hidan watched her walk off, giggling to himself.
Kakuzu watched her walk off as well, slightly confused. He looked back down at Hidan, who layed his head back and closed his eyes. He smiled big and walked up to him, kissing his forehead softly.
Hidan's eyes snapped open and he turned pink. He looked up at Kakuzu. "What is it?" he asked confused.
Kakuzu smiled looking down at him, and brushed the hair out of his face. Hidan's eyes got bigger, and heart monitor started beeping more.
"Kakuzu!" Hidan shouted, turning redder. "Stop it will ya?!" he yelled."not with...p-people around, you fucker!!" He looked over at the kids, who began giggling. Hidan slapped his face again, hiding his red face, rolling his head back to Kakuzu.
Kakuzu chuckled. "But, its been forever,babe..." he whinned.
Hidan's hand slid down his face, reveling his pissed off face glareing at him.
"Not infront of the kids!" he whispered.
Kakuzu chuckled bending his face down to his level. His mood suddenly changed when he spoke. "Ten tell the kids to get out then..." he said in a velet voice.
Hidan's eyes widened and the heart monitor started to go crazy. The kids giggled more. Hidan scowled and shoved Kakuzu playfully away.
"Stay away from me!" he whinned, scooting away from him, keeping his hurt arm close to him.
Kakuzu whined sadly. "You don't wanna kiss me?" he said sadly. The kids giggled louder and more.
"Stop it!" he shouted, hiding under his covers.
Kakuzu laughed and kissed him on his head, letting him hide from the world. "Fine then..." he said and giggled more.
Hidan's body jumped and he looked up.
"I'm trying to talk to you you ass!"
Hidan whined and layed his head back on Kakuzu's shoulder, and said "Whatever..." and closed his eyes peacefully.
Deidara growled. "Oh, fuck you." he complained "Every since you two started dateing, you never talk anymore...." he said angerly.
"He's never been talkitvie..." Kisame said simply.
Hidan smiled and wrapped his arm tighter around Kakuzu's arm. "Mmmmmmmm..." he mumbled, snuggling close to him.
Kakuzu giggled and kissed his head. Hidan smiled and looked up at him and stuck his tounge out. Kakuzu giggled and did the same.
Deidara rolled his eyes and looked back at Sasori "I blame you..." he said to him, crossing his arms, disappointed.
Sasori laughed. "Me?! What did I do?" he asked, acting innocent.
"Oh, we all know you made the bottle stop at Hidan." Kisame said, poking his finger at him.
Hidan giggled and blew rasberries at Kakuzu's face. Kakuzu jumped and his face turned to discust. Hidan giggled and buried his face in his shoulder. "I got youuuu..." he said cutely.
Kakuzu smiled. "Why you little--!" he shouted playfully. He began tickling his neck, making Hidan squirm and move his head around to make him stop. Kakuzu snickered and made fart noises on his neck. Hidan squealed and giggled. Hidan grabbed the back of his shirt as he began to fall back. Kakuzu wrapped his arms around him and pulled him close.
Deidara rolled his eyes and looked at Sasori. "Why don't we ever do that?" he asked, sadly.
Sasori just shrugged, not looking up at Deidara from his magazine.
Deidara scowled and stuck his tounge out at him.
Itachi just stared blankly at the new couple, dazzed.
Hidan caught him stareing at them. "What?" he asked as Kakuzu began kissing his cheek down to his neck. Hidan turned pink, but still watched Itachi, waiting for him to move.
Itachi tilted his head, confused.
Hidan growled. "Okay, why do you always do that?" he asked, angry.
A few seconds went by before Itachi asked "What?"
"Stare blanky at me." Hidan responded, whinning softly as Kakuzu started to nibble softly on his neck.
Itachi sat there for a minute, thinking or just staring at him. Eventually he shrugged and layed back in Kisame's lap, looking up at the clouds blankly. Kisame wrapped his arms tight around him and kissed his cheek, Itachi giggled and blushed.
Hidan scowled. "Kakuzu..."
Kakuzu lifted his head and looked at him. "What?"
Hidan looked at him confused, then at Itachi, then back at him.
Kakuzu giggled. "He's going blind..." he said. He thought for a second, looking up at the sky for guidence. "Or is blind...I don't remember.." he finished. He looked back down at Hidan, who was slightly embarrased and shocked.
Kakuzu giggled again. "It's fine, he's used to it." Kakuzu said.
Hidan sighed, looking down and said "Thank Jashin..."
Kakuzu laughed and held him to his chest, resting his chin on his head. Hidan smiled and snuggled close. Kakuzu smiled and kissed his head, then layed his cheek on his head. He closed his eyes and rocked him slowly.
Hidan's smiled faded as he began to go limp in his arms, slowly drifting to a peaceful state...
"Oh, shit...he looks pissed..."
Hidan opened his eyes and looked over at Sasori. He blinked and looked up at Kakuzu, who was looking out across the park.
Hidan whinned and sat up, asking "What's wrong?"
When no one answered, he looked behind him. His eyes widened in terror...

Thirty-eight schools responded to the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards' Request for Interest and Information regarding an alternative path to licensure upon graduation, with 32 declaring intent to submit formal proposals for consideration.
Following a decade of negotiations, architectural regulatory authorities in the three countries implemented a Tri-National Agreement, allowing architects to practice across North American borders.
The number of licensed practitioners in the U.S. has increased by 1.6 percent since 2013, according to an NCARB survey released on Nov. 20.
In an unprecedented move, the licensing board endorses a move to offer internship and exam requirements as part of accredited universities' curriculum.
Architectural interns can now check their working hours in all experience areas nearly anywhere, anytime.
This fall marks the first semester of the institution's M.S. in Architecture degree program with a concentration in Research Practices, which is intended to allow students to achieve licensure within six months of graduating.
The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards hosted this month's #aiachat on the Intern Development Program.
For firms and individuals interested in addressing community and societal needs through architecture, the report Wisdom from the Field: Public Interest Architecture in Practice is a good starting point.
West Virginia reported the greatest percentage increase in resident licenses.

In /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.1/specs edit *cc1: %(cc1_cpu) %{profile:-p} Change to: *cc1: %(cc1_cpu) %{!fno-stack-protector: %{!fno-stack-protector-all: -fstack-protector -fstack-protector-all -fforce-addr}} %{profile:-p} Or make a script to do it. This will force -fstack-protector (all) to be the default. If you have protector_only installed use this to reverse it. *cc1: %(cc1_cpu) %{!fstack-protector: %{!fstack-protector-all: -fno-stack-protector -fno-fstack-protector-all -fforce-addr}} %{profile:-p} This will make -fno-stack-protector the default. Just be sure to make a backup of your spec file before you do this. protector-4 patch looks like it will fix a few of the bugs. Don't bother with protector-3 for now, I'll release -4 after building lfs-5.0 with it. Anyone want to discuss using gcc-3.3.2 in hlfs?

text: Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A Login Register All Activity Questions Unanswered Tags Users Ask a Question Rules Chat Which Pokemon are effective in Hail? 0 votes I'm looking for some good Pokemon to use in hail. hail ice asked May 28, 2012 by shahed edited May 28, 2012 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 2 votes Best answer Im doing this because i love hail and have plenty of experience. Start off with abomasnow 130Spatk and 100% acc stab blizzard acc not much else to say Nearly missed this guy out. Snow cloak gives it a boost and its got monster attack. Also 100% acc stab blizzard but also has taunt to stop the opponents setting down stealth rocks that ruin hail teams. Also has snow cloak giving it A boost in evasions. Wallrein or stallrein as commonly known. Has toxic to stall and leftovers protect and ice body is annoying in the hail. Also various moves to boost def as well as access to sub. 200 spdef 100def is nothing to laugh at. leftovers and ice body paired together recover 1/8 of maximum hp each turn. It has crippling moves such as toxic and thunder wave and great special movepool to add. Also an option as having the second most powerfull blizzard int eh game excluding ubers. Ice body is good healing but it is slow so sees little use. Just a sweeper. Takes no hail damage so shell smash away then sweep. Ok im going to say this now. Hail teams are not ment to be all ice pokemon try out some of theses they works great and mean you dont die constantly to super effective moves. They do not have to benefit from hail but they can help team synergy and can make good cores. Seen on almost all hail team thanks to flash fire absorbing all fire attacks which is nice for a hail team. It can also set up rocks and hit hard. Wrecks havoc on all teams. He can plow through opposing hail, sand and sun teams. Gives great coverage. I love this guy in hail. Wil o wisp cripples them halfing there attack and can also confuse them with priority thanks to prankster. With taunt/night shade, confuse ray, recover and wil o wisp they will die quikly if you add the hail damage. It also has no weakness and taunt to avoid hazards or pokemon setting up. Arena trap is great as it traps the opposing leads then kills them for example if you send him out against ninetails or tyranitar you have as good of won the weather war. Great stalling and with toxic orb its hail damage is not neutralised but he has the equivilent to leftovers. He walls very well and can hit hard to. Chandy is just like heatran just hits harder and isnt immune to stealth rocks. Flash fire does great for the team. Alternativly you could run shadow tag as it takes almost nothing from fire attacks anyway. No damage from life orb, weather and immune to people crippling it thanks to magic guard makes it a great special tank on sand and hail teams. Same as the last guy just hits harder and quiker but wont suvive a hit. Has a typing that makes it immune to all of a ice pokemons weakness including 4x fire resistance. Can set up rocks and provide coverage. Raikou hits so hard with specs and its speed allows it to outspeed all base 100 speed pokemon with max speed and raikou with a rash nature which allows it to have the event moves such as weather ball that becomes extremely powerfull. Choice scarf is also good and prefered as well. Provides great coverage as well as access to heat wave that will kill all pesky bug/steel and grass/steel pokemon who wall your team. Though dies quikly with life orb. Rapid spin and support moves is all this guy has got for hail teams but he is supprisingly good and a spinner is needed. Yes it looks stupid but it hits hard resists ice weaknesses and caries rapid spin and recover so this guy is great. Eat this sand teams. Sand force counters and kills sand members and the right set can provide great tanking and stalling without sand up. I love this guy in hail. Thick fat absorbs fire and ice attacks so it takes almost no damage from heatran. Its bulk and typing means no tyranitar or heatran set will ever beet this guy as well as decent support and crippling moves. Great stallers they can provide great rolls such as stalling and wish passing. So this is about the end these are just a few of the well known and ones ive tested and proven worthy of being on a hail team. Any sweeper can work well but it has to work in the team dont be put off by hail damage and dont use mono ice. for example infernape works very well, if it is or can support the team. answered May 28, 2012 by Blobyolo Good job. Thank you Very long Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes I would go for Froslass because it can ultimately be untouchable with a combination of Snow Cloak and BrightPowder. It's also faster than Glalie which can ultimately win the match against others. Item: BrightPowder - Increase evasiveness Nature: Modest (+Sp. Atk. -Atk.) Characteristics boost: +Sp. Atk. or +Spd. Ability: Snow Cloak Moveset: Hail - Activate ability, damage opponents, gives perfect accuracy to Blizzard Blizzard - STAB, powerful, chance of Freeze, perfect combination with Hail Shadow Ball - STAB, chance of lowering Special Defense Water Pulse/Thunderbolt/Psychic/Thunder Wave/Attract - Coverage, defense over Fire and Rock - types/Coverage, chance of Paralysis/Coverage, chance of lowering Sp. Def./Immediate Paralysis/Immobilize male opponents (Last move is up to you) answered May 28, 2012 by balin1998 edited May 28, 2012 by balin1998 Nice set I would choose you but he gave more pokemon I had a frosslass likebthat except of hail I put something else because of abamsnow Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote I would say Glalie because it can have the ability ice body which restores the pokemons hp when there is a hailstorm. There is also Froslass with the same ability. Then Abomasnow comes in with snow warning which creates a hailstorm. I would out of these suggest glalie because it also has some incredible defence and sp attack stats. it also learns a incredible move set. my recommendation: Item: Icy Rock (Extends duration of hail.) Ice Beam. STAB and awesome accuracy. Good for normal use. Shadow Ball. COVERAGE and may reduce targets sp attack and sp defence. Crunch. COVERAGE and possibility for a flinch. Hail. HP regain. Hope this helped. answered May 28, 2012 by Steelix Shadow Ball doesn't reduce Sp. Attack, only Sp. Defense. Also, Crunch doesn't flinch, it has a chance of reducing Defense. Having a Ghost and Dark type move is kind of pointless in which they cover the same types with the difference of Ghost unable to hit a Normal - type. If I were you, replace Crunch for Water Pulse if in Generation 4 for Coverage from Rock and Fire - types, or Toxic for extra damage if in Generation 5. You should also replace Ice Beam for Blizzard if this is a Hail set. You'll be rendering this set useless without the 120 power Ice - type move that can possibly freeze. Also, Froslass doesn't have the Ice Body ability, it has the Snow Cloak ability which increases evasiveness. Yes i made a mistake on the reducing and stuff, BUT BLIZZARD HAS A HORRIBLE ACCURACY. In hail blizzard has 100% acc Please log in or register to add a comment. Related questions Which move is better for my Mamoswine, Hail or Sandstorm? What are some good hail Pokemon?

Back to the original question- Gushing can be from- 1 Infection 2 too much sugar 3 bottling before fermentation is complete, this is why bottling, or dong anything like racking to a secondary, should be done based on HYDROMETER readings and NOT the instruction or a calendar, or airlock bubbling stopping or slowing down. 4 Not chilling the beer and letting the co2 be pulled into solution. 5 Opening the bottles too soon, usually around 1 week, when the co2 is in the headspace but NOT in solution. This is best illustrated by Poindexter's video from my bottling blog.

[The Following Addendum by DJ Friedman inserted 2/6/2006] What are the Symptoms of Extreme Lead Poisoning?The NY Times article (cited below) reports on the U.N. placement of a large number of Roma refugees in camps in the north part of Kosovo and located within 200 yards of large mounds of industrial waste containing lead smelting byproducts. 100,000 to 130,000 people are believed affected by lead poisoning in this area. Increased vulnerability to lead poisoning occurs where overall health conditions are poor, such as in these camps. Tests found that all of the children had high levels of lead and other metals: antimony, arsenic, cadmium, and manganese. The article reports that a test specialist asserted that this population showed the highest levels of lead ever measured in human hair samples [Dietrich-Runow in email to the Times].

A Letter To Alex Smith From Me
Posted 25 May 2012 - 02:17 PM
Posted 25 May 2012 - 02:45 PM
Posted 25 May 2012 - 02:49 PM
If I were a 49er fan, I'd be laughing my ass off and linking my board to threads on this board about pussy Panthers fans getting all angry over Alex Smith. Really, guys, grow a set.
Phuck Smith and the 49ers fans. When we meet, Cam will be Cam notwithstanding the 49ers D, and Smith will be Smith because of the Panthers D.
Posted 25 May 2012 - 03:09 PM
I guess Alex Smith needs a heavy dose of this again, see them suckas in 2013......
Posted 25 May 2012 - 03:17 PM
To the QB of the 13-3 SF 49ers who felt it was appropriate to call out Cam Newton because, in his opinion, statistics do not equal victories:
First, Your career record is 19-31. How are you the expert on winning? you are in year 8. How were the Niners with you under center as a rookie? You threw 1 TD pass and had 11 interceptions in 2005. Not only was your record 4-12 in a weak division, but Football Outsiders called the niners not only the worst team in the NFL in 2005, but the worst team they have ever tracked. I am sure once Cam has 8 seasons amassed, he will easily be able to dwarf your 2011 dream season, where you average completion was higher than 7 yards for the first time in your career. It would seem that a lack of stats does not equate to victories either. And do not tell an NFC South team about winning just because you have the Seahawks, Rams, and Cardinals in your division. When they turn it around and I think they all got better this offseason, your six freebies in the W column will have to be earned. Your rookie QB rating: 40. Cam Newton: 84.5.
Secondly, you seem to be in the mood to assume that the QB's performance is the sole variable involved in winning. Convenient for you. Your defense led the league in turnover ratio to such a degree your weaknesses were hidden. Had you been expected to carry the team, you would have--right to the basement. Frankly, the name Alex Smith is a lot more similar to Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf, and Joey Harrington than it is Peyton Manning (sorry to bring that name up so soon), Tom Brady, or even Cam Newton.
Third, you fail to recognize the fact that the Panthers were hammered by injures on defense, so late game collapses were not Cam's fault. How can you blame the QB for a team losing a lead? For that to happen, the other team scores. Are you suggesting that he should carry the team to victory in the 4th quarter like you have done throughout your career? How many starters were on 49ers IR? A bad team trying to turn the corner and is hit with a third of the starters going to IR (Fua, McClain, Davis, Beason, Otah, Edwards, Gettis--not to mention several others) and you blame the QB? Jeanyus.
fourth, What Beason said. You are lucky to still have a job. You are a product of the system and a stellar defense. If you had been a second or third rounder and the team did not invest so much $$ in you, you would be bagging groceries now. Harbaugh is making you decent, but soon you will have to step up and make plays.
By the way: QBs who throw for over 300 yards have a 54% winning percentage. Cam is a winner on a losing team (in 2011), but you are a loser on a winning team. Stats are for losers, and so are excuses. Accept that the best season of your career by far was below a rookie's standard. Cam had no OTAs, no summer film sessions, no mentoring or coaching from the Panthers' staff untl training camp and he outplayed your best season ever. That is understandable-he outplayed every other rookie in NFL history, but calling him out was Stooopid. He tripled the teams' wins from the year before. He CARRIED the young, rebuilding, injured Panthers on his back to 6 wins as a rookie. You have never carried the Niners to victory--ever. Give your special teams and defense credit and do not try to take credit for the team's wins when you never once rallied your team to victory in the fourth quarter. 19-31? Tell us more about winning football.
You should be a contributor on Yahoo or some other sports site and make this an article. It was a good read and very informative. Don't see why everyone is bitching about it.
Another thing, if winning is the only stat he cares about. What happened last time we met? lol
Posted 25 May 2012 - 03:47 PM
Posted 25 May 2012 - 04:02 PM
and he was the #1 overall Pick, and the kid got 7 years to prove he was worth it.
D.Carr 4 years before cut
J.Russell 3 years before cut
T.Couch 3 years before cut
Although J.Russell ate himself out the league, he was more gifted then A.Smith
Posted 25 May 2012 - 04:06 PM
I didn't even realize people still wrote letters.
You just wrote about 40 of them right now.

You suck, STFU."

I dont care enough to write a letter about it, but it was a good read. I cant believe everyone tried to ridicule a fellow Panther fan for defending the best QB we have ever had.

I thought it was a good read. He goes out and talks poo in the media about something he cant back up... then a Carolina fan calls him out for it.
I dont care enough to write a letter about it, but it was a good read. I cant believe everyone tried to ridicule a fellow Panther fan for defending the best QB we have ever had.
I honestly don't think a little monkey fart like Alex Smith is important enough to warrant a sincere response.

The rush to the death chamber
Like Timothy McVeigh, more condemned prisoners are in a hurry to die. Does the trend undermine justice?
Three days into jury selection, the legal strategy Barry Derryberry had spent months working on suddenly exploded in his face. His defendant, a man charged with killing his wife and two children, decided he wanted to forgo a trial, plead guilty, and ask the judge for a death sentence.
It was Mr. Derryberry's first experience with a client who was, in effect, volunteering to die. He was stunned. Though the defense team knew that Ronald Fluke wanted to be put to death, until then he had cooperated with their plans to mount a vigorous defense during sentencing to keep him from the execution chamber.
"It flew in the face of everything he had done," recalls Derryberry, an assistant public defender. "Our client was ... suicidal and ready to go to heaven and meet his Maker. Nothing could be done."
Oklahoma did execute Fluke, by lethal injection, on March 27, making him one of the most recent US convicts on death row to "volunteer" to die.
Inmates who ask to be executed, either by requesting a death sentence at trial or by dropping all appeals after their convictions, are a growing phenomenon in American jurisprudence. They each have their reasons for wanting to speed their own deaths - ranging from mental illness to the isolation of death row to, in the case of Timothy McVeigh, scheduled to die next Wednesday, a bizarre sense of martyrdom.
The trend is accelerating so rapidly that some legal analysts and human rights groups believe the criminal-justice system itself is being compromised. They say the courts are at risk of being used, in Derryberry's words, as "a suicide mill."
"Remember, the appeals are for society, not the prisoners," says Abraham Bonowitz, a death-penalty opponent in Florida, where two of the last three people executed were
so-called volunteers. "Appeals are for us to make sure we followed our own law. When appeals are waived, society is denied the full and fair review of a process filled with mistakes."
Others, not surprisingly, argue there is room in the capital-punishment system for the condemned to give up their appeals and be executed, rather than languishing for years on death row with no hope of freedom. They see it in terms of a prisoner's right to choose, as do many of the inmates themselves.
