I quit for about a year, but came back a couple months ago; I just needed a break.
What drove me away from WoW ?
In one word, casualization.
Less involvement required, destruction of progression, automated grouping and teleportation, leveling made ultra-fast and just as ultra-boring. Game becoming non-rewarding and instant gratification and the like.
Too much convenience and the loss of fluff/flavour. Too many changes about the core game drawing it away from what was good in it.

Gear treadmill got tiresome + no solo queue for rated bg + no CAPTCHA in normal bg (tired of only playing with bots).
But yeah, Blizzard is working the bots issue. They have been doing that since 2004. *soon* they will have a solution. Meanwhile CAPTCHA works perfectly for the last decade(s).
Everything is accessible through queues, with little-to-no need to venture outside of cities
Dailies shouldn't be a requirement for progression
Gear is too easy to obtain / Epics don't feel epic
Leveling up is a race rather than an adventure
Simply put: While the game has had a lot of quality of life improvements over the years, it has strayed too far from its roots that made it interesting and fun
Basically none of those for me. Like, mirrored opinions on whether or not those are bad/good things.
What drove me away just before 5.2 was the side-effects being on a PVP server with a PVE-oriented guild of friends that I was 10m raiding with. Namely, endlessly getting ganked just trying to level alts or do my dailies and then the pressure to play a certain class and spec that I didn't want to thus making raiding not just a chore but like a bad job I didn't want or need to be at. Came back in 5.3, entire guild moved to a PVE server and most of the guild is happy with the concept of flex raiding to bring along less progression-driven members (like myself) in order to help gear and train as many people as possible on the SoO mechanics.
If I fall out again and it's not a money issue, it'll likely be the same thing. I'll end up taking the game too seriously, push myself into a position I'm not comfortable conforming to and ultimately drop the game for a patch or two, again. (As a side note, unlike quite a few people here, when I stopped playing the game, I also stopped posting to WoW forums. I understood that if I didn't play a patch live, I didn't know how good or bad the content was.)
The toxic community pushed me out. The average player is simply more foul in present day than they were 4 years ago.
Time to gear. I love pretty much everything about the game, and WoW is still amazingly fresh/engaging compared to current MMOs. It's a solid game and Blizzard knows what they're doing.
But ugh. The gear grind when MoP released was just... ugh. I couldn't justify doing hours of boring things I hated just to be "allowed" to play the parts of the game I actually like.
I quit in Cata, and the direct cause was the guild breaking down (going 10 man, which inevitably lead to stopping raiding the next tier) and me not wanting to raid 10 mans. The guild was the only thing keeping me in the game at that point. It's just not possible to run a solid 25 man guild anywhere outside the handful of high population servers (and transferring there would've cost me $100+). Then there's always the players who are nagging "lets just scale down to 10 man with our 10 best players and clear everything faster and easier", which gets tiring after a while when you'd really want to be focusing on progress and improvement instead of the same old argument for cheesing it in 10 man.
I could never get into the whole 10/25/easy/hard nonsense with gear resets in every patch. I just wanted the linear progression feel of TBC where you work on a boss for a few weeks, killing of which opens up a brand new boss and part of the instance. The new model just felt like a boring grind that wasn't even advancing your character in real terms because you'd just get new gear for free in the next patch regardless of what you did in the previous patch. It also meant that players no longer cared about their guilds and would come and go, knowing that they could always get back to the latest content at any point.
There's also a host of other things. Like the content quality plummeting (raid instances became just excuses to house loot pinatas instead of epic ,well designed raids like Kara, BT, Ulduar, etc.). Blizzard scamming me (promising, in writing, that Cata would contain more raid content than WotLK, and then delivering barely half that). Everything getting dumbed down and the game just feeling like a cash cow instead of something the developers had read passion for.
basically lack of immersion and the fact that Blizzard is handing us everything on a silver platter
I used to be casual in vanilla and I loved it; epics where still epic and any epic item I got as casual felt really like an accomplishment.
Now it's just queuing for dungeons or raids and brainlessly spam buttons and get free loot.
The game lost its magic because of Blizzards policy of making all content accessible to everyone. It just makes your Illidan, Lich King, Deathwing kinds of villains less epic, and it reduces your interest in the community because a) you no longer care about the top-guilds like I used to care about Nihilium back in the old days, b) everyone is running around in the latest fancy tier-set looking the same, so you no longer identify the top players form the best guilds on the realm flexing in Orgrimmar and dreaming that one day you could slay that dragon and obtain that epic - and the whole immaterial thing of having something to aspire to, to dream of, a goal far of in the distance - adds more to the entire experience of World of Warcraft which makes you stick around than having all game content accessible. I feel they made a mistake in going all-out on accessibility, I believe they could've peaked during Wrath with the same number without making all raid content accessible. Instead of just adding layers of difficulty on the same raid they could've had 2 raids for each tier, one that is flex and is quite easy to run where you defeat the say.. "Lieutenants of the Lich King" in a wing or two of Icecrown Citadel. Running that makes you attuned to enter the main entrance, which is a damn hard raid where a super epic Lich King is the end boss.
Raidfinder drew me away. I like to raid on many different characters, but running LFR multiple times each week destroyed the fun of the normal raids
I stopped playing 2 times basically.
1. I stopped at the end of WOTLK. I had killed the Lich King and every other boss apart from LK Heroic 25. But I could not imagine it being a better feeling then the major letdown I had when I killed LK normal. My major quest to start WoW to begin with was finished. I killed Arthas, be it on normal. Killed the rest of ICC 25 heroic tho. Just not LK and I couldn't care.
2. In Cata I came back and went full throttle. Tho then we had some internal struggles in the guild and we needed a few more recruits which we were unable to find. That coincided with me getting a girlfriend and thus I quit. Guild soon after fell apart and well there was not much to go back to.
3. After I deal with 5.4, I will quit again probably until the next expansion. Since Pandaria I am very very casual as opposed to being pretty damn hardcore before (Cata and before). And I will quit again because MoP is so accessible and everything is handed to you on a platter vs other expansions I have played. I just can't stand that. When things are very very new I can still get enjoyment out of the expansion/patch. But after that I will quit. So you'll likely see me sub/unsub/sub/unsub or totally quit.
Maybe I will not come back. Who knows
2 things. First I'm hating the direction of the story telling. Not the Pandarin part but the part where Blizz only capable of pandering to 1 faction. The second thing is time. I have a kid now and he takes most of my time.
I stopped playing because of the 2 things.
1. the Talent changes. The old one I enjoyed. and you could try different things, and you felt great when you got your first point for the first time at level 2.
2. was changing how players had to play there champ. When you first play wow back in the day it took time to get to know your champ, and what your limits were. After getting to know your champ, and then you get slapped in the face with the new system, and your like wow. I can't bubble heart, I can't control my pet. I can't mess around with mixing ability's up.
Now how old, and far did I get? Well when I quite wow. I had most of the achievements from naxxramus, outland, and many others. I was still working on the new legendary daggers when I stopped playing. Once I saw so many changes coming. I just sad to my self there is no point on even playing any more if they are going to change every thing.
People can say what they want, but those are what made me just stop playing.
Either you have trolls or complainers who are always around you when you're playing. I know there's a silent majority, but they don't register, because they're silent.
The cruel irony.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. - Gandhi
Whoever loves, let him flourish. / Let him perish who knows not love. / Let him perish twice who forbids love. - Anonymous Pompeii Graffiti
With each turn of a page, the wisdom imparted from previous pages is lost.
Since giving into casual play during Cata there really wasn't much left to keep me really interested...and money.
I will probably play again when the expac is released just for the experience.

NHL Preview from The Sports Network Friday, January 25th (All times Eastern) Ottawa Senators (3-0-0) at Tampa Bay Lightning (2-1-0), 7:30 p.m. (Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators will try to win four straight games to start the season when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning for Friday's encounter at Tampa Times Forum. The Senators have won three in a row to begin the season thanks in large part to some spectacular defense and goaltending. Ottawa has surrendered only two goals through three games and has outscored the opposition by a combined 11-2 margin. As a result, Ottawa is off to a 3-0 start for the first time since winning the first five games of the 2007-08 campaign. Head coach Paul MacLean's club earned its two most recent wins against the Florida Panthers, posting a 4-0 win at home on Monday and following it up with Thursday's 3-1 decision in Sunrise. Erik Karlsson scored the go-ahead goal midway through the second period, beating Jose Theodore with a tremendous individual effort. Karlsson intercepted a pass just beyond the blue line and waited for his teammates to clear the neutral zone. He then sprinted down the left wing before ripping a wrister from the left circle that sailed high over the right shoulder of Theodore to give Ottawa a 2-1 lead at the 8:28 mark. "I haven't seen too many people get from the blue line at a dead stop to the hash marks and shoot the puck in the net like that in a real long time," MacLean said of the shot. Chris Phillips registered a power-play goal and Jason Spezza added an empty- netter for the Senators. Former Panthers goaltender Craig Anderson turned away 25 shots in the triumph and improved to 9-0-1 in 11 career starts against Florida. Next up for the Senators is a three-game homestand that's set to begin Sunday against Pittsburgh. The Lightning will try to get their five-game homestand off to a quick start after splitting their last two games on the road. Friday's tilt at Tampa Times Forum is the Lightning's second home game of the year, following a 6-3 triumph over Washington on Saturday. After dropping a 4-3 decision against the New York Islanders on Monday the Bolts rebounded the following night with a win at Carolina. Tom Pyatt and Cory Conacher netted first-period goals as the Lightning topped the Hurricanes by a 4-1 count in a Southeast Division battle. Keith Aulie and Ryan Malone added third-period scores and Vincent Lecavalier posted two assists for the Lightning. "It was important to get off to an early start and that carried us," Malone admitted. Mathieu Garon stopped 35-of-36 shots for the victory, Tampa's fifth in the last six games in Raleigh. Ottawa won all four meetings against the Lightning last season and has taken seven of 10 overall in this series. Tampa Bay has dropped two in a row and three of its last four home games versus the Sens. 01/25 10:44:52 ET |

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder that results from food and stomach acid backing up into the esophagus from the stomach.
This condition can cause serious health issues. Treatment for GERD includes lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The valve between the esophagus and stomach opens to let food enter the stomach. With GERD, the valve doesn't close as tightly as it normally should. This causes acid reflux, a burning sensation that can be felt below the breastbone.
The following factors contribute to GERD:
The following may increase the chance of GERD in adolescents:
Adolescent GERD may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your teen's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
Images of internal body structures may be taken with:
Treatment options vary based on the severity of the GERD. Options may include one or more of the following:
This may be all that is needed to relieve GERD symptoms. In some cases, these may be recommended before medication is prescribed. These changes can be tailored to an individual person based on their habits. Lifestyle changes include:
Foods and beverages to avoid may include:
Medication may be needed to relieve symptoms and heal any damage to the esophagus. Many medications for GERD are available over-the-counter and by prescription. Your teen's doctor may recommend the following:
In more severe cases, the doctor may recommend surgery or endoscopy.
The most common surgery is called fundoplication. During this procedure, the surgeon wraps part of the stomach around the LES. This makes the LES stronger and prevents stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus.
There are no current guidelines to prevent GERD.

Customer Reviews for LightBlocker™ Horizontal Blinds Bali 1/2" Slats
""Bali" mini blinds"
By TeleCAD from Miami & Boca Raton
The mini blind quality is very good (even at long widths). The and quot;light blocker and quot; feature works very well. With very little care and planning the installation and operation went very well. The colors and choices are very nice. Having the factory adjust your overall dimensions for clearance makes for an excellent fit.

By Miss T from Texas
I purchased Micro mini blinds for my entire house. They were a special order size and they came to my home in 12 days. The purchase was very easy online and the blinds were packaged great, no breakage. I purchased one blind in the wrong size, but it was my measuring that was incorrect. I re-ordered the blind and it came in a very timely fashion, faster than the original order. I would recommend buying blinds here without hesitation. The quality is excellent and the service is great!

The Joys of Travelling!
I laughed when I read this one Willie! I can so relate to fearing the infants! Not that I dislike children at all, but its not nice to have to sit near other people's on long flights - 2 years ago, while flying from NZ to LA a young boy was seated next to my mother and myself - an hour into the 12 hour flight he threw up - making sure he missed himself, his sick bag and his father on his other side - and got my poor mother!! Not pleasant. Learnt that day that Air NZ are not equiped for cleaning up such messes and do not have towels or air deoderisers available. (Well not in Zoo Class anyway). Now I always travel with a change of clothes and a hand towel in my carry on luggage!
Good luck for the rest of the tour - keep entertaining us.

Super-duper Size
I love the story of the supersized woman from the land where supersized everything seemed to be born. Hapless and helpless by her own hand.
And I love, even more, the security woman's quick wit which does not surprise me coming from the land where witty repartee was probably born.
Ah but being a Canuck, I already feel the need to apologize for perhaps not being very nice about the supersized gal.
sorry. (from the birth land of passive-aggressiveness)

What netbook is it?
I'm asking because a couple of the openchrome people have various netbooks around, so it gets tested on those, and they are really helpful with getting hardware working in my experience.
I got a netbook with Vista installed from a friend who thought it was too slow to run.
It has a sticker on it that shows that it came with SUSE10 to begin with, so I thought it would be easy to install any distro.
The GPU is the VIA Chrome9. Now i ask with driver is currently the best for 2d preference? Surfing, watch video on youtube etc...
What netbook is it?
I'm asking because a couple of the openchrome people have various netbooks around, so it gets tested on those, and they are really helpful with getting hardware working in my experience.
This on:
HP-Mini 2133
I know it well, I have one. For myself, I run Gentoo with OpenChrome, and I know someone is running Fedora with OpenChrome. That said, Ubuntu has how-tos for the VIA driver, and OpenSUSE will almost certainly work well with VIA drivers as well.
I would look through and see if your distro has a "How-To" for it, as that will probably give you a good idea what will work easiest.
Ok, so the OpenChrome driver works well for 2D? Could you post your xorg.conf?
openchrome gives good enough performance for me. YMMV. I have very little in the xorg.conf as all the defaults are sane enough for my usage.
That is so true.
But at least openchrome (besides a VESA) works at all. Not sure about the specific chip here but the one in my CLE266 and CN700 basically work with it, though EXA (at least with KDE4) won't go (only XAA) and there is no 3d further than glxgears running slowly without crashing.
One can mess up some thing by config, though. E.g. I finally managed to install a via framebuffer console on my Laptop (CLE266 VTsomething) but only with accel=0. Accelerated the penguin would show up but all text would be garbage.
So at least I have basic 2d accel working, scrolling, MPEG2 works and that is something.
For xorg.conf you should see man openchrome. (probably there after installation but should also float around the net).
Lots of stuff you can tune, especially be careful with EXA. Might work better on your probably more recent chip, I don't know. 3d should be in mesa, but don't expect anything.
Note: It might be Gentoo specific but xf86-video-via is kicked out (does not compile with recent xorg) and the unichrome is dead as well as it seems (not in Gentoo's portage).
So there is either xf86-video-vesa (or the like) or, better, xf86-video-openchrome.
NOTE: If you do self compiling you might want to check openchrome's svn. The releases have large timespans inbetween and even if it is not the most frequented place there is development going on in openchrome.
If you want I can look on my laptop or search on the net for the commands to build. (basically svn fetch, make and install)
So basically it works, doesn't consume much energy, the VIA CPU padlock stuff is a nice idea but don't expect any wonders from VIA hardware - especially with the current GPU-driver situation.
While the last unichrome release was in 2006, last git activity was in Nov 2009. I would think Luc's code would be worth a try on the cle266.

My bad xD its fine 'Sides, I didn't put that there xP Ehh....I lost a vote? Why!? who cares. Don't have a heart attack. There still aren't any teams with Serperior in it. http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/serperior i really dislike emboar Please log in or register to add a comment.

The reason their is seven is depending on your game you will either get Gothitelle or Reuniclus as your Physic Pokemon. Samurott @ Trait: Torrent Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd) -Surf -Megahorn -Ice Beam -Return Mixed Attacker,Semi-Wall, and Surfer. Surf is obvious plus STAB, and with Ice Beam and Megahorn are decent coverage hitting Dragon,Grass, Psychic,Dark,Flying,Ground,Rock,Fire for Super-Effective damage. Return because your starter will probably love you enough to cause major damage. Scrafty @ Trait: Moxie Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) -Brick Break -Crunch -Rock Slide -Chip Away Brick Break and Crunch are STAB. Rock Slide is coverage and with Chip Away you can attack anyone that boost up and ignore the boost. This guy can Sweep three members of the elite four all by himself. Archeops @ Trait: Defeatist Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) -Fly -Rock Slide -U-Turn -Dragon Claw Your team's flyer. He has amazing attack and speed but if he gets under half his health hes pretty useless. Fly is to travel around Unova. Rock Slide is STAB. U-Turn and Dragon Claw are coverage. Galvantula @ Trait: Compoundeyes Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) -Thunder -Bug Buzz -Energy Ball -Thunder Wave A very good Pokemon. Thunder and Bug Buzz are powerful STABs and Energy Ball is coverage. The lower Accuracy of Thunder is taken care of by Compoundeyes. Thunder Wave is there to paralyze and help catch legendaries or other hard Pokemon to catch. Now depending on your game you will either get Gothitelle or Reuniclus as your next Pokemon. Gothitelle @ Trait: Frisk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) -Psychic -Shadow Ball -Thunderbolt -Protect/Flash Psychic is a powerful STAB. Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt are coverage and Protect is for filler, or you can have Flash to lower their Accuracy. Reuniclus @ Trait: Magic Guard Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) -Psychic -Shadow Ball -Energy Ball -Flash/Protect The Gothitelle of White Version. Pretty much the same except he has Energy Ball instead of Thunderbolt. Beartic @ Trait: Snow Cloak Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) -Icicle Crash -Brine -Rock Slide -Grass Knot Another Mixed guy on your team. Icicle Crash is STAB. Brine,Grass Knot, and Rock Slide is coverage.

Great team!Going to use it after i beat the Elite Four with Serperior! Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes This is for you people who like the water type starters. Samurott @Leftovers Ability:Torrent Nature:Brave Moveset: Megahorn Ice Beam Surf Swords Dance This is for the people that choose the weak osshuott. This guy is prepared for almost anything! Megahorn is a great move and,due to it's unbelevable power,makes almost everymove a one hit KO. Ice Beam is coverage and destroyes those grass types that just get in the way. Surf is STAB and let's you obviously "Walk on water".I was thinking of putting return in this forth slot,but Samurott has a better moveset that can change that to something better! Swords Dance is to up his great attack stat and to make megahorn an extreme threat. Chandelure @Power Belt Ability:Flame Body Nature:rash Moveset: Shadow Ball Psychic Flamethrower Energy Ball This is your guy for covering the E4 and this is also your main fire type. The power belt is for uping chandelure's defence stat so he can have a "normal"defense stat. Shadow Ball is for coverage of one of it's weaknesses, ghost types,and to beat those psychics that just get in the way,plus the STAB gives this move nice power. Psychic is to cover the fighting types in the E4,real threats like Conkeldurr or Sawk. Flamethrower is another STAB move and covers those annoying steel types that have strong defense. Without this,there would be no way to beat bulky steels with this guy. Energy Ball is for covering all the weaknesses of fire types and that's good cause there are three of them. Druddigon @Dragon Fang Ability:Rough Skin Nature:Adamant Moveset: Superpower Outrage Stealth Rock Iorn Tail This'll be your dragon type for the team.I choose him mostly to help Chandelure for dark types wich can be covered by Druddigon's Superpower. Outrage covers one of it's two weaknesses,dragon. I'd rather have this instead of Dragon Pulse or Draco Meteor beacause draco doesn't have enough PP and no pulse beacause of it's low power.Stealth Rock is to set up my only Hazard in this team and helps on destroying another weakness,ice types. Iorn Tail is to cover ice types that can be a big threat to this Druddigon.I'm thinking of putting some kind of rock type in later, so it's good that this guy covers the steel advanteges. Superpower can cover dark types for chandelure. That's mostly the reason for that so enough said. Archeops @Hard Stone Ability:Deafeatist Nature:Brave Moveset: Earthquake Rock Slide Fly Heat Wave This is your main defensive type on your team,it's also your flyer. Earthquake can cover electric types like Zebstrika that can be a threat to archeops, plus I needed aground type move on this team somewhere! Rock Slide can cover some types that can be a challenge while versing archeops and this move gives STAB to archeops.Fly is needed to get around Unova efficantly, plus covers those grass or fighting types that you just can't beat.Plus it's STAB on Archeops.Heat Wave is purly for steel types that can be a hard guy to knock out or this could be for other types like that like ice. Galvantula @Razor Fang Ability:Compoundeyes Nature:Mild Moveset: Thunder Bug Buzz Thunder Wave Double Team This is your electric type on the team. It's got a pretty good moveset, with a status inflicting move and a move to annoy the heck out of your opponent. Thunder can be awesome when you need a powerhouse move to knock out your opponent when you really need it, plus 120 power with 10 PP,I'll take that any day. Bug Buzz is way better than X-Scisor beacause of it's accuracy and power, this is just like megahorn and for some reason, I thinki it always works. Thunder Wave can help on practictly everything and is very helpful when catching legendaries like Kyurem. Double Team can be very useful when you want to be a nuisance to your opponent beacause this move reapeated can annoy the heck out of your opponent. Whimiscott @Light Clay Ability:Infiltraitor Nature:Lax Moveset: Hurricane Energy Ball Light Screen Substitute This guy is mostly my last hope. It's also your main grass type on this team. Hurricane has great power and can knock out those fighting types that has too much power. Energy Ball is STAB and can take over as your powerhouse even though it has low power compared to petal dance or solar beam. Light Screen and substitute are for helping him last for a long time. Plus with light clay light screen last for eight turns. Well,that's my suggestion for this Q. There will be 2 more for Serperior and one for people that don't like the starters. answered Nov 6, 2012 by Megaflygon edited Nov 21, 2012 by Megaflygon Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Let's get this team started! Emboar @Leftoves Ability:Blaze Nature:Impish Moveset: Hammer Arm Flamethrower Earthquake Stone Edge This guy will be your starter.I basicley focused on offence with his guy and he is weak to psychic,flying,and water types still,but who cares.Hammer Arm I prefere over Low Sweep or Focus Blast beacause of it's power and efficancy of a speedy move,also has STAB.Flamethrower I prefer over Overheat and Flare Blitz beacause Flare Blitz has a bad recoil and Overheat has low PP.Flamethrower is also STAB,like Hammer Arm.Earthquake and Stone Edge are for Fire's weaknesses,and he will also be my Rock type (exept for my Carracosta) so I can fit in a Dragon type. Electross @Quick Claw Ability:Levitate Nature:Modest Moveset: Thunder Wave Dishcharge U-Turn Acobatics Electross!Let's get started!This guy is also offensive beacause he has no weaknesses beacause of his levitate ability.Thunder Wave is my only status inflicting move on this and paralys is the best.Dischage I took for it's STAB and for it's high PP total.U-Turn is the only bug move on this team and helps me back out if I need a strong defencsive Pokemon.Acrobatics is just for coverage and a finisher move. Carracosta @Water Incence Ability:Sturdy Nature:Lax Moveset: Surf Ice Beam Shell Smash Stone Edge Carracosta is from the person at the Relic Castle.Water Insence just to improve Surf's power beacause I want it to be strong.Surf is STAB,and also has the water incence to help. Plus you can now surf over water now.Ice Beam will be my strong ice ype move,and I don't think any more ice or water types will be on this team.Chrunch is just for coverage and my random type finisher move.Stone Edge is STAB,wich makes it have 150 power,witch is pretty strong for a defencive Pokemon.If I didn't mention this,Carracosta will be the main defencive Pokemon on this team. Ferothorn @Rose Insence Ability:Iorn Barbs Nature:Naughty Moveset: Power Whip Flash Cannon Payback Swords Dance Ferotthorn covers my slot for grass and steel beacause Embar covers ground with earthquake,Caracosta covers rock and ice with ice beam and stone edge.Power Whip is a strong move with 10 PP and it's STAb,making it 180 power.Flash Cannon is also STAB,and finally completes the defence(Rock,ground,Ice,and steel)group of moves,wich is useful. Payback is strong,will probabley have 100 power beacause one of my Pokemon probabley would've fainted by now.Swords Dance is good for improving some stats that Ferothorn has that is'nt exactly strong. Swoobat @No item Ability:Klutz Nature:Quiet Moveset: Psychic Fly Shadow Ball U-Turn This Swoobat is mostly for the E4.Psychic is STAB and covers the fighting types in the E4,so does Fly,and also has STAB plus you need to fly all around Unova,don't you?Shadow Ball is to cover shadow ball's type,ghost,and cover one of swobats types,psychic.So,so far we have 3 members of the E4 with this guy.Let's see if this next move covers the last E4 type,dark.U-Turn does cover dark types,and if there's a Pokemon faster than my swoobat that's a dark type,I can switch out! Haxorus @leftovers Ability:Mold Breaker Nature:Impish Moveset: Dragon Dance Dragon Pulse Rock Slide Substitute This will be your last chance in a battle Pokemon.He has a pretty good moveset for defending haxorus' self and it's weaknesses.Dragon Dance you can use a lot during substitute for uping it's strongest stats for going first in a turn and having a finishing move. Dragon Pulse is STAB,and,like everyone knows,beats it's main problem,other dragon types. Rock Slide is a random type finisher move and defeats Haxorus' final weakness,ice types. Substitute is a good chance to sweep with dragon dance and attacking chances,plus this will make haxorus really last for a while,wich you need in a final chance Pokemon. Well,that's all folks!Commenting on things that can be improved is appreciated!:D answered Nov 3, 2012 by Megaflygon edited Nov 4, 2012 by Megaflygon Pokemon do not use Potions, Revives, or other man-made Medicines in battle. Remove the Max Elixir on Swoobat, as it is pointless. Impish > Bold if you are trying to have a defensive haxorus... Bold just Lowers its awesome attack stat Sure,i'll change that. What the heck who puts Dragon Pulse on a Haxorus? dragon pulse on haxorus is the stupidist idea... Loving this team. I am going to use it ;D Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Here is my favorite Pokemon Black team. Serperior @ Miracle Seed Overgrow Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) Coil Leech Seed Leaf Blade Return This is an amazing set for Serpy. Coil is the crux of it as he can soak most hits but who can resist choosing a move that ups Atk,Def, and accuracy in one go? Leech Seed is a must with Coil. Leaf Blade is STAB and good power. Return is going ot have a high power so it is definetly worth it. Miracle seed can be obtained by Castelia City. Some people wonder why Serpy. I personally have chosen it in B and B2 because of its major advantage above the others, that is its speeding bulk. And I remember that Chili, Lenora, Elesa, and Clay fell to its amazing defenses teamed with speed unmatched by most ingame trainers. (Note: Simipour will only be needed to shortly help beat Chili then can be discarded) The next Pokemon you get will be from Route 4. Crustle Sturdy Adamant X-Scissor Earthquake Shell Smash Stone Edge He is a great Pokemon for beating Burgh to death. Any Rock type move he knows(even as a Dwebble) will just destroy the Gym. And he can even be used right up through the E4. So X-scissor is for STAB and great power. Earthquake is for more coverage and who would not add earthquake anyways. Shell Smash is for later ingame when you will be in need of a great sweeper. And his defenses+sturdy do not mind it anyways. Ston Edge... Duh. Archeops Defeatist Adamant Stone Edge Earthquake U-Turn Acrobatics He is the powerhouse of early ingame. He has Stone Edge as STAB. Earthquake finished the EdgeQake set. U-turn for coverage and quick getaways. Acrobatics is very useful ingame. Because of the lack of items, he will usually have that at 110 BP letting him rip stuff apart. Although many prefer Carracosta over Archeops, the nice little niche Archeops has is the ability to be a special sweeper. So if you get a modest nature, don't worry, you cna just make a mixed set. (Note: no one has to worry about 3 physical attakers ingame because they will destroy anything in there path nontheless.) After destroying Clay with Serpy get his nice guy. Galvantula Compoundeyes Timid Thunder Bug Buzz Energy Ball Volt Switch Thuner+Compundeyes=91% hit rate=DESTROY. Yup that is it. My fav bug. Thunder is STAB. Volt Switch is STAb and allows to you switch in Archeops when you enticipate a ground type move. Energy Ball is for killing Rock or Ground Types. You will continue to kill Skyla with Galvantula and then get your next Pokemon. Vanilluxe Ice Body Modest Ice Beam Toxic Flash Cannon HP Ground Most will choose beartic over Vanilluxe. Why my choice? His 79 base Speed. The fastest Unova ice types, he is unstopable in the 8th gym and just rips it apart. Ice Beam is STAB. Toxic is very useful when fighting types that resit you but cannot KO you. Flash Cannon for coverage. HP ground to cover 3/4 of its weaknesses. Last one [hard to find FYI] : Hydreigon Levitate Naive Crunch Dragon Pulse Charge Beam/Surf Fire Blast Da BAWS is here! Crunch for STAB and is viable because of this mix set. Dragon Pulse is STAb and hits like a tank. Charge beam can be chosen over Surf because it can quickly becaome more powerful, but sometimes the aditional coverage Surf adds is more than just power. Fire Blast is BAWS on this set. With Fireblast and Dragon Pulse, NOTHING resists him! answered Dec 21, 2012 by DracoArceus Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes All right, this is a team who will be different between the games.

My teams I try to have as well rounded as possible. I always have Fire, Water, Grass, Flying, Electric, and Ground or Rock. These types I always need because I love type advantages. But, I figured, the more types the better! So I went with these Pokemon. Chandelure Fire and Ghost Types Ability Flash Fire (Ups fire type moves when hit with a fire type move) Moves: Flame Burst, Fire Blast, Fire Spin, and Shadow Ball. I prefer Chandelure because it cannot be hit by Normal type moves. It is super- effective against Dark, Psychic, and Fighting types, which are three of the Elite Four types. Litwick - Lv.42 - Lampent - Dusk Stone - Chandelure Swanna Water and Flying Types Ability Big Pecks (Defense cannot be lowered) Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Hurricane, and Fly Swanna covers two of my necessary types: Water and Flying. The problem is, Swanna is TWICE as susceptible to Electric attacks than if it were JUST Water or JUST Flying. And, Swanna is no longer nearly uneffected by Grass moves. But, Swanna allows me to train my Water and Flying types in one Pokemon and also allows me to have other Pokemon in my party. Ducklett - Lv.35 - Swanna Lilligant Grass Type Ability Chlorophyll (Boosts Speed in sunlight) Moves: Sunny Day, Petal Dance, Synthesis, and Energy Ball Lilligant is a very good Pokemon for your Grass type. It is a perfect balance of Defense and Offense. It has helped me through many a pinch, and can definitely be a great Pokemon in the hands of a skilled trainer. Petilil - Sun Stone - Lilligant Klinklang Steel Type Ability Plus (Boosts Sp. Attack when fighting with Plus or Minus) Moves: Zap Cannon, Flash Cannon, Thunder, Shift Gear Klinklang is a powerful Pokemon. It comes in handy when Fighting the Ice Type Gym Leader Brycen with its Steel moves. Most people do not want to take the time to train the very weak Klink, but big thing come in little packages. Klink - Lv.38 - Klang - Lv.49 - Klinklang Haxorus Dragon Type Ability Rivalry (Attack is increased by 25%if foe is of the same gender) Moves: Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dance, Guillotine, Dragon Claw Haxorus is an incredibly strong Pokemon. Only two types are super effective against it: Ice and Dragon. Not advisable against Brycen but encouraged against Drayden or Iris. Haxorus is one of very few Pokemon that can learn Guillotine, a One-Hit KO move. Axew - Lv.38 - Fraxure - Lv.48 - Haxorus Krookodile Ground and Dark Types Ability Moxie (Raises Attack after an enemy faints) Moves: Foul Play, Embargo, Dig, Focus Blast Krookodile is very crafty. Like all Dark Pokemon, it uses the enemies' power against it. This Pokemon comes in handy against Elesa, the Electric Type Gym Leader. Krookodile has good HP and good moves. Sandile - Lv.29 - Krokorok - Lv.40 - Krookodile answered Aug 16, 2013 by Blackmaster17 Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Serperior: Overgrow Move #1 Coil/Cut Move #2 Leaf Blade Move #3 Dragon Tail/Cut Move #4 Giga Drain Swoobat: Unaware Move #1 Psychic Move #2 U-Turn Move #3 Shadow Ball Move #4 Fly Simipour: Gluttony Move #1 Waterfall Move #2 Ice Beam/Blizzard Move #3 Dig Move #4 Surf Scrafty: Shed Skin Move #1 Bulk Up/Strength Move #2 Low Sweep Move #3 Crunch Move #4 Stone Edge/Rock Slide Eelektross: Levitate Move #1 Crush Claw Move #2 Thunderbolt Move #3 Flamethrower Move #4 Dragon Claw Garbodor: Stench Move #1 Toxic Move #2 Stockpile Move #3 Body Slam Move #4 Psychic answered Aug 16, 2013 by PikaPals Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Emboar Musharna Krookodile Swanna Virizon Cobalion Choose tepig as your starter because it will learn head smash but emboar learn it at level 50 so I suggest you to dont let pignite evolve until level 44 Musharna is a really good psyhcic type hp is really high and it will learn hypnosis nightmere and future sight as a munna Krookodile is a must get one because you will need it at nimbasa city gym after it evolves from sandile it gets super powerful and get one with a moxie if you can Swanna is your hm house it will learn fly surf and dive I know virizon and cobalion are legendarys but they arent that strong and you can catch them early in the game answered Jun 19, 2014 by Hamdi Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes (Sorry for no pics!) This is a team I recently used, and I had a lot of fun using it, since it's pretty different than what you usually see. Samurott (Water): Surf Aqua Jet/Swords Dance X-Scissor/Megahorn Revenge This guy doubles as a fighting type with revenge, as well as a nice mixed sweeper. You can also run Aqua Tail over Surf for the elite four. Stoutland (Normal): Return Crunch Strength Fire Fang Great physical attacker, and you can get it early on, too. Lillipup really helps out in the first gym, and is awesome when it evolves. Make sure to catch one with Vital Spirit, so that Stoutland will have intimidate. Also, Fire Fang is on there because this team doesn't have a fire type, and it's nice for coverage. It learns it via move relearner. Excadrill (Ground/Steel): Earthquake Metal Claw/Iron Head Rock Slide Swords Dance/Hone Claws Yet another good early game physical attacker. Drilbur is a little annoying to train up until he learns metal claw, but it's more than worth it when he evolves into this beast! Excadrill wrecks teams in this game. There's a reason he was in 5th gen ubers. Sigilyph (Psychic/Flying): Psychic Air Slash Energy Ball Cosmic Power/Light Screen This little beast can be caught right after the Castelia City gym. It's very powerful, with an extremely diverse movepool. Energy ball is for coverage due to a lack of a grass type on this team. Cosmic power adds to its bulk, and is an extremely overpowered move in general. If possible, get a Sigilyph with Magic Guard. Light Screen directly counters the Hydreigon from Hell you face later in the game, as does Sigilyph's typing. Vanilluxe (Ice): Ice Beam Flash Cannon Mirror Coat/Acid Armor Icy Wind Vanillite can be caught in the cold storage, right before the ground type gym. Good ice type coverage is hard to come by in this game since you don't get the TM for Ice Beam until the aftergame, and that leads to problems with all the dragons. It learns Ice Beam upon evolving into Vanillish at level 35; not a bad level to get such a good move. Vanillite is a pain to train up, but it's worth it. If you have trouble evolving Vanillish into Vanilluxe (level 47), then run eviolite on it until it evolves. Flash Cannon is for coverage, Icy Wind lowers speed and conserves Ice Beam PP, and the other two are for filler or for your own creative strategies. Galvantula (Electric/Bug): Thunder Thunder Wave Bug Buzz/Signal Beam Sucker Punch Joltik is a good Pokemon to begin with, its typing countering a lot of things. It can also be caught right before the flying type gym. Galvantula is very fast, and if you run Compoundeyes (easy to spot since its only other ability is unnerve, which you are alerted to upon entering battle with it), Thunder will hit almost every time. Thunder Wave is great for slowing things down for the rest of the team (coughHydreigoncough), Bug Buzz and Signal Beam are good STAB and coverage, and Sucker Punch is great priority if you use it right. So that's my team that I just thought I'd share with y'all. Hopefully it makes the game a little more fun with the different team layout! ~Good luck, and battle on!..or something like that. answered Jul 11, 2014 by GreyNirvana Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Samurott - Surf - Megahorn - Ice Beam - Grass Knot Chandelure - Flamethrower - Psychic - Shadow Ball - Energy Ball Excadrill - Earthquake - X- Scissor - Shadow Claw - Rock Slide Mienshao - High Jump Kick - Rock Slide - Acrobatics - U- Turn Archeops - Stone Edge - Acrobatics - Fly - Earthquake Hydreigon - Dragon Pulse - Crunch - Fire Blast - Surf answered Dec 17, 2014 by rushabinator This is the best team of them all.I like his team.

Good value and good coffee! I was a bit nervous about the "refurbished" label and have only had the coffee pot weeks so we shall see how it holds up. However, the coffee is NOT bitter, it is HOT and all the features actually work as advertised. I do think the coffee pot lid is a little hard to get used to and wish there was a way to tell from the outside how much water is inside without contorting your neck to see inside the pot, but those are small inconveniences. I have searched many months for an affordable coffee pot that can make decent coffee that stays hot. I am a celiac and cannot always process commercial coffees from speciality stores nor do I want to be confined to a coffeepot that only accommodates their particular brand of little coffee containers. Now I can have good coffee right at home, save money and dress it up with flavorings of my own choosing.
I bought this coffee maker because it's supposed to be "THE" machine that brews the best coffee at the correct water temperature. I was a little concerned that it was "reconditioned" but took a chance to save a few dollars. It was a really wise decision. As usual with Overstock I received it promplty. I've been too busy to open it but tonight I did. It is brand new in every way, just beautiful, and the coffee was fantastic. I can't believe it came from the same beans as the coffee I had just this morning from my old machine! The taste was so much richer without being bitter! I love, love, love this machine and I'm ordering a second one for my summer home! Thank you again OVERSTOCK!
I was nervous about purchasing a refurbished product but so far this coffee maker has done quite well and is used at least twice daily.
I love this coffee maker. It makes a wonderful HOT cup of coffee. My morning coffee tastes just as good or better than coffee at the local coffee shop--which is very good coffee.
I ordered this product ONLY because it was clearly and explicitly labelled "black and stainless steel," because the manufacturer, Cuisinart, recently changed to a metallic plastic casing instead of the actual stainless steel previously used. I was deeply disappointed to discover that despite the clear statement in the product description, the item i received was in fact a plastic version. At that point, I gave up.
We have ordered refurbished merchandise from Overstock before, and I have to say DON't be afraid to do that. The same warranties apply as provided by the manufacturer, and the packaging was completely intact--in fact, untouched. Why not take advantage of the price break, especially with Overstock's excellent return policy?
I bought this exact coffee maker (refurbished) from Overstock 10 years ago and it has been wonderful! It has worked wonderfully over the years. Now, after 10 years, it does not heat up the coffee, so alas, I must buy a new one. I would recommend this coffee maker. It looks really nice in the stainless steel and is a great value.
Forgot how good Cuisinart products. Simple to use and brews perfect coffee.
Makes great coffee, and very hot. I like that you can control the temperature.
This machine brews delicious coffee, as expected since it was purchased to replace an existing model that had performed well for years. The styling is functional and clean and its impressive features are: a 12-cup capacity, automatic shut-off for safety, and an audible alert when the coffee is ready to pour which sounds again prior to its shut off. A 3-month warranty provided the needed level of assurance toward the machine's mechanical soundness for me to purchase it as "refurbished" since no other options were available on this particular model. Unfortunately, this machine did not meet expectations since its life span was merely a year. At its 12th month, the machine started acting up; shutting off without notice once the brewing process was complete, then continuing to do so intermittently once manually flipped on which is why I rate the product poorly.

KellyGreat For Shaping EyebrowsI use this product and I love it!! It looks like the bad reviews this product has received are just from people who dont understand how to use this product. I use the product to tame the peach fuzz I get under, over and between my eyebrows. It is not supposed to be used on your actual eyebrows unless you like the eyebrowless look. Also, I have never been cut by the product no matter how carelessly I use it. Just shave against the grain in an upwards motion holding it at a 45 degree angle. It really is a great product!posted Jan 19, 2005Link to this post
SaraKC, MOGet CutFirst, I sliced my thumb open just taking the cap off. I thought I would use this product to maintain my eyebrows after waxing, but everytime it came in contact with my face, I would get cut. No wonder it was so cheap. Ill just stick with constant waxing!posted Dec 2, 2004Link to this post
LauraGreatI love this product, you do have to be careful when you do your eyebrows yourself because you can over do it. You can usually find it at Sallys. It is cheap, I can get rid of unwanted hair, its small and fits anywhere. Great product!posted Sep 26, 2004Link to this post
JaneDon't Use It!The instructions were not very clear and I ended up butchering my eyebrows within seconds. If you do use it, be VERY, VERY careful...One swipe and my face looks completely altered. I would not recommend this product.posted Sep 10, 2004Link to this post
BrookeDont Like The Results!Sure it was easy and not painfull to get rid of hair, but once it starts to grow back it grows thicker and coarser, besides it grows back in just 3 days or so. I do not recomend it on facial hair like eyebrows, its as if you were shaving them, ill surely go back to waxing.posted Sep 6, 2004Link to this post
Crystal Elliott-willisCaliforniaExceptional ProductHello Im Crystal and I really love this product. I purchased this product here in Oceanside, California. They no longer carry this product none of the stores here do.. I think you should get buyers to purchase this awesome product, I have facial hair and this is truly the very very best solution for me.. It was really hard for me to find you and yours on the internet but thank the lord, I will use this product for life... Thank you, Crystal Willisposted Aug 27, 2004Link to this post
RachelMiami, FLEasy To Use.You can usually find them in Popular Discount. Anyway, I love these razors - theyre extremely sharp at first and last you a very long time. Perfect for touching up hairs growing back. I dont, however, recommend you depend on this product because your eyebrows begin to lose their shape after a short period of time. Wax them professionally, then maintain them with this tool.posted Jul 1, 2004Link to this post
SuePerfiladorThis tool is so handy and easy to use. Very sharp and works better because of the size and angle of handle.Great!!! Only wish I could find in stores. Find in CVS and then they ran out and said they only carried in inventory for trial period.Where can I buy these other than web site to avoid shipping charges??posted Jun 5, 2004Link to this post

It's true—diabetes raises your risk of heart disease. That means your risks of heart attack and stroke are higher when you have diabetes. Diabetes is plenty to keep up with as it is. That explains why dealing with both heart risk and diabetes can seem like too much all at once.
But it's also true that good heart-health care has a lot in common with good diabetes care.
When you have diabetes, there are times when you have a higher-than-normal level of sugar in your blood. High blood sugar can damage the walls of your arteries. This damage can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries. The plaque buildup can narrow and even block your arteries.
Your risk of having heart disease is even higher if you have:
You can lower your heart disease risk by:
This isn't as hard as it might sound. Many of the same healthy habits help control your blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight.
You're probably already doing more for your heart than you think.
Plan your foods with diabetes in mind. Then think heart-healthy, and make changes if needed.
You can choose from several heart-healthy eating plans(What is a PDF document?) to help control your blood pressure and cholesterol.
Being active is good for your diabetes and for your heart. It helps manage your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. And it plays a key part in controlling your weight. In turn, a healthy weight also helps control your diabetes and heart risk.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.

Blog Entry:
May 03, 2013 12:14 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Stories about the U.S. Treasury Secretary aren't usually amusing, but
this one
has a comment that's good for a laugh.
The Wall Street Journal
notes that Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew "has been holding a series of meetings with economists, academics, regional bankers and businesses in an effort to sound out different groups on the economy and Washington policies." Mr. Lew will be in Cleveland next week, where he will speak at the
City Club
and stop at high-end blender maker
Vitamix Corp.
Of the series of meetings, one anonymous Treasury official tells
The Journal
, "It's really important to him to get out of Washington on a frequent basis to hear from a diversity of voices."
Here is what passes for a "diverse" group for the secretary:
Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass
Leon D. Black, chairman and CEO of Apollo Management
Mark T. Gallogly, co-founder and managing principal of Centerbridge Partners
Stephen C. Freidheim, chief investment officer of Cyrus Capital Partners L.P.
Ralph L. Schlosstein, president and CEO of Evercore Partners
Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO of Macy's
Daniel S. Glaser, president and CEO of Marsh & McLennan Cos.
John Alfred Paulson, manager of Paulson & Co.
Indra K. Nooyi, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo
Frank P. Brosens, co-founder of Taconic Capital Advisors
Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman and CEO of Blackstone Group
Robert Greifeld, president and CEO of Nasdaq OMX Group
He also met with heads of regional banks on Tuesday, including Beth Mooney, chairman and CEO of Cleveland-based KeyCorp.
Guests at the City Club forum next week should come prepared to ask Mr. Lew some hard questions. I doubt he got many this week.
This and that
Aging gracefully:
The chief economist of real estate website Trulia
breaks down some numbers
on the country's housing stock and concludes that if you like an old house, Cleveland is a good place to be.
For instance, homes from the 1920s "are easiest to find in New York (12.3% of on-market homes there were built in the 1920s), Los Angeles (9.7%), and several Ohio markets including Toledo, Akron, Dayton and Cleveland."
If that's a little too old for you, fear not.
"Homes built in the 1940s account for the highest share of today's for-sale listings in Detroit (19.6%), Los Angeles (10.2%) and Cleveland (9.1%)," according to the story on Forbes.com.
Getting on his horse:
The New York Times
runs a
long profile
of jockey Kevin Krigger, who is trying to become the first African-American since 1902 to win the Kentucky Derby.
Mr. Krigger has local ties.
In 2001, the story notes, the then 17-year-old Mr. Krigger landed at
ThistleDown Racino
, where he eventually won 50 races.
Mr. Krigger has a good shot this weekend. He's riding Goldencents, the Derby favorite and the horse that recently won the Santa Anita Derby.
If Goldencents wins tomorrow in Kentucky, Mr. Krigger would be the first black jockey to win the Kentucky Derby since Jimmy Winkfield won two straight, in 1901 and 1902.
Short of the goal:
Cleveland soccer fans, we can do better than
The Washington Post's
soccer blog provides these ticket sales figures for the U.S. men's national team's next four matches:
May 29 friendly vs. Belgium in Cleveland: 14,750
June 2 friendly vs. Germany in Washington: 33,000
June 11 World Cup qualifier vs. Panama in Seattle: 31,000
June 18 World Cup qualifier vs. Honduras in Sandy, Utah: 20,000 (sold out)
I know it's a friendly rather than a qualifier, but these are pretty low numbers. But as they say — plenty of
good seats available
The omen:
My day got off to a bad start — I took a (very) heavy load of bird poop on the head and back when I got out of my car.
When I shared that information, a family member forwarded me
this optimistic link
about "18 omens of good fortune," one of which is "When bird droppings land on your head."
From the story:
Many people believe this to be a major sign of wealth coming from heaven. Hence, although it is really yucky and a major inconvenience, when something like this happens to you, take comfort in the fact that this is described as good luck being just around the corner! In fact, most things associated with birds tend to spell good fortune, such as when birds fly to your home and start making nests in and around your house. While bats bring abundance, birds bring good news and opportunities. The next time a flock of ravens, pigeons or magpies come to your home, feed them with bird seeds. Birds are also said to be powerful protectors and guardians. Even crows are said to be messengers of the Gods. So welcome birds with open arms.
I'm not feeling very welcoming to birds right now, but I'm very open to signs of wealth coming my way.

A's look to return favor, sweep division-rival Rangers
After Texas won all three games last week, Oakland can get even
ARLINGTON -- It was just last week the A's were swept in their home park by the Rangers. Now they have the chance to get even with their division foes by completing a three-game sweep in Texas on Wednesday evening.
The A's outscored the Rangers, 13-3, in the first two games of this series to take a two-game lead in the American League West and improve to 17-10 on the season, which is the best record in the AL.
They'll send right-hander Jesse Chavez to the mound for their final game of the month, while the Rangers counter with lefty Robbie Ross to try to salvage a game of the series. Chavez narrowly holds the ERA edge, 2.32 to 2.45.
Chavez went five innings in his last start against the Astros, after completing at least six in each of his first four outings of the year. He had also allowed just one earned run in each of those outings, but in Houston he was tagged for four (five total) after scattering eight hits with two walks and five strikeouts on 90 pitches.
He'll be facing a Rangers lineup that's struggled to get much production from the top of the order over a 4-5 stretch.
Through Tuesday, hitters occupying the first three spots in the Rangers' batting order were hitting a combined .172 (17-for-99) over the past nine games, with just one home run and 13 RBIs. Elvis Andrus has started all of those games in the No. 2 hole, hitting just .088 (3-for-34) during that timeframe.
Andrus had pushed his average to .308 before his current slide began.
"He's not getting through the baseball like he was earlier, that's all," manager Ron Washington said. "[He's] topping a lot of stuff. But then again he's smoked some stuff that's being caught, too. I hope we're not going to go through a month of that again. It seems like when the game has been on the line he's been giving us his best at-bats."
The leadoff spot has been split between Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Choice and the third spot has been held by Alex Rios, Adrian Beltre and Prince Fielder. Combined, those five players hit .203 (12-for-59) while in the top three spots in the order from April 20-28.
For Ross, this will be the sixth start of his career and his first against Oakland. He has pitched in 16 games against the Athletics, all as a reliever, compiling a 4.30 ERA in 14 2/3 innings with 13 strikeouts.
Ross has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts this season.
Rangers: Kouzmanoff facing back surgery
Third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff said Tuesday he may have to undergo back surgery to repair a herniated disc in his lumbar spine. Rangers back specialist Dr. Drew Dossett has recommended surgery, said Kouzmanoff, who has numbness in his right leg and calf.
"Surgery is a last thing, but I think now it's to the point that maybe the time has come," Kouzmanoff said. "There was just an adjustment period for a couple days. It was hard to swallow, but now it's like, OK, this is the way it's going to be and we just have to make a decision to move on from here."
Kouzmanoff will be re-examined Friday by Dr. Robert Watkins while the team is in Anaheim, but Kouzmanoff isn't optimistic he'll avoid surgery. Kouzmanoff said he has been told if he does have the procedure, he will be out 7-12 weeks.
The 32-year-old veteran was called up when Adrian Beltre was injured and hit .362 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 13 games.
A's: Griffin to undergo elbow surgery
Already sans Jarrod Parker for the year, the A's learned Tuesday they'll also have to continue on without right-hander A.J. Griffin, who will undergo elbow surgery Wednesday in Houston and miss the entire season.
The A's are not yet calling it Tommy John surgery, since the extent of the procedure won't be known until after it's completed, but it could very well come to that.
Griffin experienced elbow discomfort in September and again in mid-March, at which point the A's shut him down, hoping that rest would prove to be the cure. But the discomfort returned when Griffin began a throwing program last week, leading to his Tuesday visit with Dr. Thomas Mehlhoff, who will perform the procedure.
Worth Noting
• A's outfielder Josh Reddick collected two RBIs on Tuesday night, giving him four in the last five games. He had just four total in his first 19 games.
• Rangers outfielder Alex Rios, who doubled in his second at-bat Tuesday, has hit safely in eight straight games and 13 of 14.
• Texas batters have gone homerless in five straight games. The team's 14 home runs this season are tied with the Padres for the second fewest in the Majors, ahead of only Kansas City (10).

If you want to take advantage of top-ranking championship courses, venues such as Turnberry, Gleneagles, Celtic Manor and The Belfry are available too as are courses as far afield as La Manga, Spain and Mission Hills in China.
Check out all the courses here. And if you want to transform a half-day's game of golf into a hassle-free holiday then we have more good news - the Open Fairways membership includes half-price offers for a selection of hotels across Ireland, including Bushmills, The Merchant in Belfast, The Culloden, Slieve Donard, Fitzpatrick Castle and The Clarence in Dublin.
