When running on a sidewalk
When running on the sidewalk or multi-purpose trails, stay on the right and pass on the left. It's a simple rule but seems to be neglected even when walking.
When running on the sidewalk or multi-purpose trails, stay on the right and pass on the left. It's a simple rule but seems to be neglected even when walking.
Run against traffic if running on the road. You'll be able to see the traffic coming in your direction and be more aware of their behavior.
This is the so-called "The left-hand rule", meaning that you are running at your left hand side (just in front of the coming traffic).
There is one notable exception to the left-hand rule. For those times when you're running up a hill, it is better to run on the right side of the road. You'll give cars coming in the opposite direction a longer time to see you as they crest the hill.
Note: The "left-hand rule" applies to all countries where the driver seats in the left hand side of the car and drives on the right hand side of a two-ways street. Countries like UK, Australia, and some others, were the driving rules are the opposite, should use the "Right hand rule".
Unless laws prohibit it, runners are considered pedestrians and may run on sidewalks as a protection from traffic.
Don't run in the middle of the sidewalk. If running in a group and the sidewalk is not wide enough, run in a single line.
The common rule dictates that side by side running is allowed only when the path is wide enough. Be nice! Share the road with your fellow runners, cyclists, walkers and even dogs.
Haven't you heard of several accidents in which runners were struck by vehicles?. The majority of which occurred when the runner was not using the crosswalk.
It only takes a few seconds to get there. Remember you're training! The best place to look for a PB (Personal Best) is at a race when streets are closed.
Alert pedestrians when you are passing them. Do not assume they are aware of their surroundings. A simple on your left warning will be enough.
If you're on a trail with no room to overtake another runner, wait 30 seconds then ask to slip by. If you're on a track, pass on the right. In a race, pass on either side of a runner ahead of you.
You don't have to yell to let them know, unless they are wearing an mp3 player at full volume and leave you no choice. (Read the rule about music usage below)
Fast cyclists are supposed to use the roads, while recreational cyclists and runners are expected to share bike paths. You can't assume that cyclists will yield to you, allow them some room to pass on your left.
In some countries the law says that vehicles [bikes and cars] are to give way to pedestrians, but you also have to look out for your survival.
You, the baby and stroller makes three. When running with a stroller, you increase the danger of collisions. Leave 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) between you and the next person to protect yourself, your kid, and everyone else in your path.
Since the stroller is technically a vehicle, you should give the right of way to other pedestrians. Racing with a stroller is an entire different subject that will not be covered here.
Stop at stop signs and ensure oncoming traffic yields to you before proceeding across a road. Don't assume cars will stop if you are entering a cross walk.
If you run with Rex, Fido or Max, keep him close by, on a tight leash, and move to the side so runners can pass without interruption.
If you see a bike coming your way, make sure your dog won't get in their way, try to bite the bike tires or, most importantly, try to eat the rider.
If you are running an out-and-back route, don't just make a sudden u-turn at your turn around point. Stop, step to the right to allow oncoming traffic the opportunity to pass.
Make sure the road or trail is clear of oncoming traffic (runners, cyclists, in-line skaters, etc.). Then make your u-turn. Making a sudden u-turn without looking over your shoulder is a good way to get hit.
Listening to music is a great energy boost, but if you're joining others to run, it's rude to wear headphones. It is plain and simple!
Do you really think it makes sense to turn up music so loud that you can't hear cars?
Set the maximum output level of your mp3 player to 75% its max.
Using earbuds that make more noise outside than inside your ear.
It's ok if you stop. Sharks die when they stop moving. Runners do not.
Keep this in mind next time you encounter a "don't walk" sign at a busy intersection. There's no need to jog in place or dance from foot to foot like if you had to pee. Stop your watch and just relax.
Acknowledge fellow runners. This one is up for debate, but if you see someone running towards you, nod a quick hello.
Enjoy a fleeting moment of shared humanity. Acknowledge each other's travails. Cyclists manage it without any bother, but in many places runners respond to a smile with an irritated frown, or by pretending not to notice. Come on people, share a little love. What's the harm?
Running two or three abreast on a busy path is the equivalent of sitting in the middle lane on a highway.
Do it mindlessly and you'll irritate people, get sworn at and have no one but yourself to blame if you end up getting pushed into a canal.
Passing gas while running is excusable and inevitable. Runners ingest a fair amount of healthy foods, which produce gas in the GI (gastro intestinal) tract, where it cannot stay forever. If a runner has clearly taken pains to mask flatulence, the polite thing is to pretend nothing happened.
If a runner has clearly taken pains to mask flatulence, the polite thing is to pretend nothing happened.
This subject is also up for debate. Gentlemen: if on a sunny day, you should ever be tempted to go running on an inner-city street without a shirt on, please think twice before doing so. This isn't Venice Beach and you're not Matthew McConaughey. It's not nice at all!
Don't do it, seriously. Look around you – it is lovely here. So put that energy gel wrapper back in your pocket.
If you can't find a trash can, carry your trash home.
Running in a race for which you are not registered, also called "banditing", is not fair to race organizers, volunteers, and especially to the people who have paid to participate.
Plan your race a year in advance and register early for upcoming ones. You may even save a few bucks if you do so.
When a race is already sold out, volunteer for it. Some races give you the chance to register early for the following year event.
All runners have a collective responsibility to keep the event safe. Races generally discourage running with dogs, headphones, cell phones, and jogging strollers.
Each race is different. Read the Athlete Guide. Someone spent a lot of time gathering all the rules for you. If you still have doubts, write an email or call the race organizers.
Line up according to how fast you plan to run or walk during the event. Slower runners and walkers should move to the back of the race pack. Just because you arrived early does not mean you should be at the front of the starting line.
You've all seen him/her. The man/woman (must likely a man) who lines up suicidally close to the front of the pack, starts off at a pace he has no hope of sustaining and ends up walking, hands on hips and gasping for air, before the race is half-done. Don't be that guy.
Don't drop clothing on the course after you warm-up. If you must shed layers of clothing, tie them around your waist or place them on the side of the road where no one will trip over them. If you drop it, don't expect to get it back.
Bodily functions are a fact of life during a race. If you need to spit, blow your nose or throwup, move to the side of the road and do it there. If nature calls, check for a port-a-potty, an open business, a kind neighbor along the course, or as a last resort, a discreet clump of bushes before relieving yourself.
Use the facilities before the race start to lessen the need once on the course. Keep the facilities clean for the person in line after you.
You can be disqualified (DQ) if you're caught using mother nature as your personal washroom. Make sure you know where the port-a-potties are located or ask a volunteer, they'll let you know.
If someone behind you says "excuse me" or "on your right/left", please move to the side carefully. The person behind you is giving you a heads up before passing. It's proper race etiquette to let that person pass without blocking their effort.
If you need to stop for any reason (tie your shoe, nose blow, etc.) move to the side of the road and step off the course.
Race marshals get up before dawn on Sunday mornings to stand for hours on rainy street corners and stop you from getting lost. They share the same passion you do for running. A simple gesture of gratitude will cheer them up.
Say "Thank You!" to race volunteers who hand you water or put your medal around your neck.They're volunteering their time and the race would not be successful without them.
Acknowledge race spectators who cheer you as you pass them by. If you're too tired tosay "thanks," show them a smile, wave, or give them a thumbs up. It will make them feel good and encourage them to keep rooting on others.
Move to the right and grab your fluid/nutritional needs from the volunteers or the aid table then move forward, clearing the way for others to use it.
Step to the right side of the road and proceed to the aid station as soon as you spot it. Word of advice: get your fluid/nutritional needs on the last two tables.
Choosing to grab your hydration at the last second and change your lane abruptly at the last minute. Or getting out of the aid station suddenly, crashing with the runners that are trying to get in.
Throw your used cup to the right side, away from the course, as close to an aid station as possible. Discard it at the height of your waist as opposed to tossing it over your shoulder. The person behind you may not appreciate the shower if the cup is not empty.
Once you have crossed the finish line, keep moving forward until the end of the finish chute. Stay in finishing order if the event is not electronically timed so the finish line volunteers can remove the pull tags for scoring.
Enjoy the post-race refreshments, but remember it is not an all you can eat buffet for you and your family.

WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Kelly Paton (Woodstock, Ont.), a junior forward on the fifth-ranked University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, was honored as TPS Hockey Player of the Week by Hockey East on Monday.
Paton tallied five points (three goals, two assists) and a +3 rating to propel UNH to a pair of wins against (then) fifth-ranked Boston College and, with that, first place in the league standings. She recorded her first career hat trick, which included the game-winning goal, in a 5-2 road win Jan. 30. Paton scored the first and third goals to lead the Wildcats to a 3-0 advantage, and she netted a shorthanded goal with 2:08 remaining in the game to secure the victory. In the 4-2 home win Jan. 29, she recorded two second-period assists, including one on the game-winning tally, in a three-minute span to give the 'Cats a 3-0 lead.
Paton, who has a six-game point-scoring streak, has amassed 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points in 25 games this season. She ranks 24th in the nation in goals per game as well as 22nd in power-play goals (five). Paton has a team-best .214 shooting percentage and is second in goals, power-play goals and points; she is also fourth in both assists and plus/minus (+14).
In 98 career games, Paton has totals of 37 goals and 57 assists for 94 points.
New Hampshire (15-5-5, 10-2-3) returns to action Feb. 7 (2 p.m.) at the University of Vermont. The Wildcats' next home game is Feb. 14 (7 p.m.) against Providence College.

Is diversification dead?
Robert Hayes discusses whether diversification really offers any protection to charity portfolios in the event of a generalised market downturn.
Most charity trustees are familiar with the concept of diversification. However, beyond the basic mantra of it being the only free lunch in investment and not putting all your eggs in one basket, there is often less clarity on the true meaning of the concept and the best way to achieve it. The recent market dislocation, where virtually every asset class seems to have been sold indiscriminately, has raised further questions in many investors' minds.

Chirostenotes (KIE-ro-STEN-o-teez, named from Greek 'narrow-handed') was an oviraptorosaur from the late Cretaceous (80 million years ago) of Alberta, Canada. It was characterized by a beak, long arms ending in powerful claws, long, slender toes and a tall, rounded cassowary-like crest or casque. Chirostenotes was probably an omnivore or herbivore, although the beak is not as heavily constructed as in the Asian Oviraptoridae. The type species is Chirostenotes pergracilis. A smaller species, C. elegans, has also been named from Alberta, although it probably belongs to the closely-related Elmisaurus. A large skeleton from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation has been referred to Chirostenotes pergracilis, although it may represent a new species. The first Chirostenotes was found in the Dinosaur Park Formation of Canada, which has yielded the most dinosaurs of any Canadian formation.
In life, the animal was about long and tall at the hips. It had an estimated weight of about 110 pounds. It probably ate small reptiles and mammals, as well as plants, eggs and insects.
Also, a set of jaws with strange teeth were originally thought to be part of Chirostenotes but, now that it is known that Chirostenotes was a toothless oviraptorosaur, the jaws have been renamed Ricardoestesia and are from an otherwise unknown dinosaur.

Silverstreak (Classics Series) Review
Silverstreak (Classics Series)
Transformers - Universe 2008 (Hasbro) - Deluxe Class
Wha-hoo! This marks my first review on my new computer so I figure I should make this one about my equally sexy silver and black Nissan pal, Silverstreak! Silverstreak is a redeco of the Prowl from the same line except for the lights on top of the roof removed. I was sceptical at first about buying Silverstreak, but the paint job won me over. Instead of dull silver plastic, Silverstreak is actually painted silver, giving him a much nicer and shinier finish. The over all body is very accurate to the original toy but slimmer and more articulation.
You will encounter some problems in transformation that detracts from this otherwise grade-A 'bot. During transformation, the doors have tendancy to pop off. Repeatedly. So, it is just easier to just remove them all together and add them back on when neccasary to complete both modes. Another problem is the roof which clings to the hood and will not ever let go, so this risks cracking the links on it. Shaving the top of them some may help, but I am not really one-hundred percent sure about it.
Silverstreak is equipped with three diffrent weapons. The first two a shoulder mounted non-functioning missle lauchers and the third is a folding laser gun that can be stored under him while in vehicle mode. The rifle is hard to remove from his hands at first, but gets easier the more you do it. Loaded with articulation like most modern Transformers, Silverstreak has swivel neck, upper arm, wrist, waist, and knee joints and hinge jointed knees, feet, elbows and double hinged elbows. This, combined with a great overall balance between kibble and function, allow for some very dinamic stances.
In car mode, Silverstreak is disguised as a...well I can only describe it as a sexy sports car with a passing resembalance to a Nissan 350Z Roadster with a black hood, roof and fender. The wheels turn real smooth but are not loose so it can stay in place unless it's on a pretty sharp slope. Over all, Universe Silverstreak gets four stars out of five. It's a great buy and will not dissapoint any fan or casual collector.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge. -Thomas Carlyle
A few words I use to describe O'Reilly School of Technology's Executive Director, Scott Gray: Brilliant. Determined. Loyal. Visionary. Authentic.
Of course, I may be a bit biased, after all, I am married to the guy, but in my defense, we were just colleagues when I learned that he embodied these qualities. In the early 90's I managed the Calculus&Mathematica Distance Education Program at the University of Illinois Math Department, while Scott was a PhD candidate at the Ohio State Math Department.
At that time, online learning was just beginning to take hold. The University of Illinois was a pioneer in that movement, having implemented Plato and NovaNet, and then creating Mosaic, the first graphical web browser. In the late 80's, my professors Jerry Uhl and Horacio Port, along with Scott's professor Bill Davis, created and implemented Calculus&Mathematica at the University of Illinois. It is still one of the most innovative computer-based educational programs ever devised.
I was floored by this revolutionary program, as was Scott. That's when fate intervened. He walked into my U of I lab to do some research for a similar Distance Education Program he hoped to start at Ohio State. We bonded over a shared passion for the constructionist STEM-based learning methods that were made possible through the powerful Mathematica software, the innovative C&M lessons embedded within the notebook features, and the flipped classroom structure that took place within the lab at Altgeld Hall.
But even as C&M was gaining traction, I ran into problems translating that formula into an online Distance Education Program. There was considerable expense and confusion involved with configuring Mathematica for each student's desktop, transferring notebook files back and forth in the grading process, as well as other obstacles that hindered student/instructor communication. I lamented that we were losing nearly half of our students before they ever really got started as a result of those initial hurdles alone.
Enter Scott Gray. He deduced that we needed a way to experience the entire constructionist methodology online with a seamless connection between the learning tool, the student, and the instructor; we needed a centralized technology, a Sandbox, delivered to the student through a web browser to foster "learning by making." My mind was blown. Remember that the concepts of Web 2.0, Software as a Service, and the Cloud were still 10-15 years away at this point. Undeterred by our earlier obstacles, Scott proceeded to incorporate his ideas into the Web Workshop, which taught students simple HTML by allowing them to type into a web form and then display the results in a pop-up window. Scott's free tutorial attracted thousands of enthusiastic students who contributed 25,000 web creations within a month; he had created the original MOOC.
But a MOOC is not a full-fledged educational system. Having struggled with ADHD throughout his life, Scott knew all too well that the way a subject is taught can mean the difference between a student experiencing the life changing spark of understanding or the heartbreaking disenfranchisement of being left behind. In STEM education, the practical application of theoretical concepts is a large component of the constructionist learning experience, but so are properly guided discovery, Socratic coaching, and formative assessment. With all of his in mind, Scott and I embarked on our life together building UserActive, the online education system that would eventually become the O'Reilly School of Technology. Crafting the student-centric experience became his mission, even as he built an innovative, viable business model to support that experience, and all within a world that was (and in many ways still is) decades behind in online education.
Scott has been loyal to this mission since its inception. Together with the passionate team he's built over the years, he founded the O'Reilly School of Technology, as well as a visionary constructionist platform called Making Math that is poised to disrupt and revolutionize the educational market. He is the constant champion of a fully-integrated system for instructors, as well as cutting-edge Sandbox systems for students, specialized coaching for expert course authors, and a second-to-none Student Services team. He continually monitors, analyzes, and evaluates educational and market trends, while avoiding short-lived fads to ensure outcomes that are built to last. He's persisted in pursuit of his vision despite all manner of resistance and he's come out stronger on the other side, all for the love of student-centric constructionism.
Anyone who's met Scott knows the depth of his commitment to education. He sincerely believes in the pedagogy we use at O'Reilly School of Technology, and he wants to share that excitement with anyone willing to listen and learn. As he delivers his educational message and argues his supporting data as only a foresworn academic can, a few glaze over, stunned by the amount of energy he can generate when he talks about online learning. Still others may mistake his conviction and passion for fanaticism–they simply don't get it and sadly, they probably never will. But just like in school, there are those students and teachers who do get it, whose minds are opened, and where new pathways to knowledge are forged. Those students are gob-smacked with that life-changing spark of understanding and become inspired, and they in turn, inspire us. Scott has connected with the O'Reilly School of Technology team and our students in a profound way. We understand the message and the pedagogy and are committed to it because we know it works.
Of course, I'm somewhat partial. But after working as his partner and colleague for 18 years, I can tell you that his leadership has had a great and positive impact on those of us who know him best. Speaking strictly professionally, my admiration and respect for him have only grown over time, just as the school itself has grown. O'Reilly School of Technology's ever-increasing enrollment, and passionate faculty and staff, serve to validate Scott's years of focus and commitment. O'Reilly School of Technology continues to be a labor of occasionally tough, but always abiding love.

Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan! (Part 1)
Is it considered speculation that the next episode will be "Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan! (Part 2)"?--Burgundy 00:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes and No. It's obvious it will be but will still can't add it since it's not confirmed. --HoennMaster 06:56, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Special with BW024
- I thought this episode is supposed to air with BW024 on March 17, 2011, since wasn't that also rumored with no episode on March 24, 2011? There really wasn't anything confirmed stating that this episode would or would not air as a special with BW024. (Of course it's a no-brainer that the next episode is Part 2. We just don't officially know the Japanese Air Date.) Torpoleon 00:38, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Very unlikely this will air
It's very unlikely that this episode and BW024 and BW026 will air, so can we just take those bars at the top where it says 'warning, this episode has not yet aired in Japan' off, and put them back on if they do air, because seeing as this episode probably won't air, there's no point keeping those bars at the top. Don't Hug Lucario! 17:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
- Sure there might be a possibility that this won't air, but what that warning message is really saying to the readers is that details are scarce and that the content in the article is the only information currently known to the public. - Vhayes1992 21:52, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
- The company said themselves that they plan to air this episode as well as part two in the future. The episodes will air someday. We just don't know when. --ケンジのガール 21:58, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Does this still apply?
This is a quote from the unaired AG101 discussion:
"As a special or anything, like Holiday Hi-Jynx or Snow Way Out!, we will keep it in the list of AG episodes in the same place and we will keep its top and bottom prevnexts as they are, however, this will not become AG101, just as HHJ isn't EP039. It'd cause there to be too many moves (20 was enough for splitting the Deoxys special) and since it's been this long since the episode was supposed to air, it'd be stupid to call it AG101 now. It would be moved to its Japanese translated title, then to its dub title, if it ever receives one. For now, however, it will stay as AG101 (unaired).
The same will be true of any episodes skipped in the future due to a tragedy and aired more than a few weeks later under special circumstances. TTEchidna 05:42, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
So, does that still apply now? Don't Hug Lucario! 19:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see why it can't apply still, however, as there is a different Editor in Chief now, I'd ask either Kenji-girl or Deth about it. --P S Yライダー☮ 19:59, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- I was just asking if it still applies now, ok? Don't Hug Lucario! 08:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Delayed/cancelled Info
Is there any more detail as to WHY this episode was cancelled/delayed? Were the tapes/originals physically broken/damaged in the earthquake? Does the episode contain something related to the real world incident? A city toppling earthquake? A large tsunami? It all seems very arbitrary, there is no detailed explanation in the article besides "the earthquake stopped it". Was there a news alert that just said "we are delaying the episode because of the earthquake, that is all" if so, very uninformative. If its not one of the previously mentioned reasons why these specific episodes held but no others? D558 06:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- A Liepard destroys a building in the episode. It's similar to what happened with another episode. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 06:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Most likely because too many people in Japan would not be able to watch the episode - a plot-critical and possibly epic two-part episode. It's most likely not because of the explosions. tc²₆tc26 09:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wait a minute since when did Japan say they would skip these important episodes? they didn't so having them up as unaided is really just unnecessary. Chomper4 04:03, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- We've listed them as "Unaired" because we haven't got a clue when they will air. So for the time being we're keeping them here. But if they air, let's say BW050 and BW051, we'll move them to BW050 and BW051. Think of this name as just a placeholder. Nothing permanent. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 04:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wait a minute since when did Japan say they would skip these important episodes? they didn't so having them up as unaided is really just unnecessary. Chomper4 04:03, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Reverted edits?
I put the
{{Incomplete plot}}, which I thought it would need. Could anyone tell me why you reverted it? --YoshisWorld 14:45, 11 July 2011 (UTC)YoshisWorld
- I did provide the reason in the summary. That template can be only used on those episode articles that have been aired, not on the ones who haven't, since we can't get the synopsis of an episode that never aired. So, that's the only reason for reverting it. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 15:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
A comment about the content of the episode not relating to why it was not aired
If you watch the episode with the battle with Burgh Ash switched his Tranquill out for Sewaddle. Iris and Cilan also mention Burgh not knowing Sewadle's battle style, corect me if I'me wrong but Sewaddle never really battled until (if he did battle before Burgh at all) at least thees postponed episodes, and why else would Ash have switched them out. The whole "Dodge with string shot" thing seems a bit like it happened before and Ash didn't just make it up on the spot. I also think that it is fair to say the Team Rocket trio failed, Ginovani losing all hope in them, they do a costume change review there motto and return to catching Pikachu. Megamaxxor-- 10:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Remember that energy ball? Did Iris/Cilan/Burgh (or even Ash) know about it? No. Ash just took a shot and asked Sewaddle to use it and it worked. So, we can't assume anything on the basis of "Dodge with string shot" theory. As far as TR is concerned, nothing was mentioned about their failure or their previous mission. So, we can't speculate it. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 12:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes but for all we know Ash chceck his pokedex for that move, but yes I know we cant confirm the whole dodge thing but we can confirm that Ash did switch out his Pokemon.--Megamaxxor-- 10:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
- True but he's done off screen switches a lot of times (spoilers, if you haven't seen the new Japanese episodes). So, we can't say anything on Tranquill's switch either. ♫♪エイディニズ♪♫ 10:45, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Did you notice?
Did anyone notice in BW022 that the helicopter is shown leaving with only Professor Juniper and Officer Jenny. Now for those who beat the games, recall just before getting the Light/Dark Stone. You go back to the Resort Desert. Team Plasma is there, so it can only be guessed that these episodes have been pushed to the end of the season. --Nathan2055talk 19:19, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- I highly doubt that. :--SuperAipom7 (Wanna chat?) 19:20, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Shadow Triad?
I could've sworn I saw a man in a ninja suit and white hair, could that've been one of them?--Lucario985 Chowolun 11:26, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- Re-watched the preview and no such character shows up. Ataro 11:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Some little info?
According to this, it apparently seems that these two episodes were indeed sent to the U.S. in order to be dubbed, reaching the dub staff and all, but they were prevented of actually dubbing them. Is this notable or useful in any way? --Gabo 2oo (talk) 04:56, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- I am guessing that this could be put into the trivia. To elaborate a bit, we knew that the episode was fully produced at the production companies and sent to The Pokémon Company. In Japan's case, the episode was already put in TV Tokyo's lineup, set to air. Since TPCi is simply a subsidiary of The Pokemon Company, it was given access to the produced episodes as well (hence the tweet from Tom). Of course when the decision came from headquarters to skip the episode, TPCi followed suit. It is a cool little tidbit of information Gabo 2oo. - Vhayes1992 02:48, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
When you've just become the first National League rookie pitcher in history to win consecutive starts against the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, how do you want to celebrate on your day off?For Tommy Hanson, it was an easy decision. His dad was in town and his pitching buddy, Kris Medlen, was also free. So the two Californians - who have split time this season with the Gwinnett and Atlanta Braves - contacted me and we all went fishing on Lake Lanier. We met at about 6 a.m., and were fishing before the sun beams shot across the water at Mud Creek. Within minutes, Kris caught the first of nearly 20 spotted bass that we hauled into the boat over the next four hours. Together, the guys landed plenty of spotted bass, a half-dozen stripers and one surprised white catfish. I was too busy baiting hooks, keeping the boat straight in the wind, and helping them land their fish to join in the fray. Both Tommy and his dad are excellent anglers. The newcomer, Kris Medlen, however, landed the largest bass on a Swirleybird. It was a surprise since he had only learned to fish this year in spring training. Despite their obvious skills on the baseball diamond, these two young men are a credit to their generation and to the Atlanta Braves. For me, it was a real pleasure to see them become quite laid-back while they enjoyed a day off catching fish in the natural beauty of Lake Lanier. Bill Vanderford has been inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as a Legendary Guide. He can be reached at www.fishinglanier.com.

Editors Column
by Steven Cherecwich
Hello, dear Reader,
Before I get into my own column, I wanted to say something. We're not getting many comments on these pages. We need you, the readers, to get involved. I see the web traffic, and people *ARE* visiting our site. So comment! I'm going to try something new this month and NOT give a review of each of the columns. Read them for yourself! Don't pick and choose! Read them all, and read them now, dammit. They're all good, they've all got something to say. So get to it, get reading. Thanks. I'll get off my soapbox now.
I've talked before about why we write. However, have you ever considered what its like for the person on the other end? Have you ever put yourself in their shoes (or chair, or recliner, or bed, or bus) and tried to read your work from the perception of a person who *doesn't* have your specific knowledge base?
As your audience reads your work, with a little bit of luck, a pinch of skill, a dab of critique, some magic might happen. It's every authors goal that their subject lose themselves in the story. In the movies, this phenomenon is known as "suspension of disbelief" – that moment where you forget you're in a theatre, and you've lost yourself in the film. Literature doesn't really have an equivalent, unless you call it simply losing yourself in the moment.
Let's take a look at how someone loses themselves in the moment. It's different for everyone, of course, but there are some commonalities that are true for everyone. One of the things they taught me in college about writing term papers is that you want your first two sentences to summarize what the rest of the paper will be about. For example, "The depression of the 1920's caused great strife and heartache among the poorer classes, while the rich still managed to feast." This opening sentence draws you in, enticing you to wonder what is going to happen. In a college paper, it could be a statistical analysis of the sales patterns of potatoes versus steaks in 1925.
In a fiction story, this could same line could tell the tale of a young boy struggling on the streets, scavenging for food (a-la Angela's Ashes). Or perhaps a tale of a boy trying to bring a little bit of sunshine to his family, (a-la The Painted House). The first sentence does not need to give away the plot, but it needs to set the stage well enough that the reader will at least move on to the second.
That said, lets look at the second sentence of this same tale. "With food so scarce many parents were forced to either give up their children to an orphanage or put their ten year olds to work." Ahhh, now we're getting somewhere. We could still be writing a college paper about class inequality, but we could just as easily be writing Oliver Twist.
These first few sentences aren't just setting the stage, though. They're setting the opinion of the reader for the next 200 pages. They say a first impression is made within ten seconds of meeting someone. The same could be said for a novel, a poem, or a college term paper. Those first few lines will form a lasting impression for not just this work, but for the readers impression of you as an author.
No pressure, though, ok?
IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), a favorite author is decided upon reading that first page, and from then on if that first page was well written you will always turn to that author first in the bookstore, even if that first book you read wasn't what you expected…you'll still remember that first page.
Here's what some other authors have done:
"'I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one.'"
— Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
— William Gibson, Neuromancer
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
–– Jane Austen Pride and Predjudice
"Among other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born; on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events; the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter."
–– Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
"It was a pleasure to burn."
—Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheight 541
"In the beginning, sometimes I left messages in the street."
—.David Markson,Wittgenstein's Mistress
As I take my leave for the month, I encourage you to submit your favorite opening lines…and please, feel free to leave something from your own works.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- Steven Jackson says the Atlanta Falcons shouldn't have to worry about controlling the clock in the fourth quarter this season.
The same goes for another facet of the running game -- converting short-yardage situations -- that haunted Atlanta over the last two seasons.
Jackson, the NFL's active career-leading rusher, says he signed a three-year contract with Atlanta three months ago because the Falcons offer him a legitimate chance to win a Super Bowl.
To reach his goal, Jackson is working at mini-camp this week to gauge how he can help Atlanta fix several problems in the running game.
The Falcons' last two playoff losses were marred by an inconsistent ground attack. Jackson stops short of promising to change Atlanta's fortune single-handedly, but the 10th-year veteran sees potential for vast improvement.

So, a flurry of activity signifying nothing on the Elizabeth Warren/CFPB front. Fox News thought they heard that she would get the interim appointment. Then they retracted it. White House spokesman Bill Burton would only say that she's "in the mix" for the job. Enough plugged-in reporters have speculated that she could get an interim appointment to manage the agency through Treasury, or get the nomination, that clearly Burton is right. Or, nothing could happen. We don't know and it's getting ponderous reporting the scraps of information out there.
What's more fascinating is the fact that Chris Dodd, whose name sits at the head of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, doesn't seem to know the intricacies of the law that bears his name:
News reports yesterday generated speculation that the Obama administration will offer Elizabeth Warren a so-called "interim appointment" to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The authority for the Treasury Department to grant an interim appointment — distinct from a "recess appointment" — comes from the financial reform law itself.
In dismissing the rumor last night, though, Senate Banking Committee Chair Chris Dodd — who authored the law — claimed he'd never heard of the interim appointment power.
"I don't know what it is. I never heard of it before," said a flabbergasted Dodd to TPMDC. "It's kind of unique isn't it?"
That's kind of absurd, is what it is. The law very clearly gives authority to the Treasury Department to set up the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. The law states it pretty clearly (search for "Subtitle F–Transfer of Functions and Personnel; Transitional Provisions"). So long as Treasury is running the CFPB, the Secretary of the Treasury can run the agency. And, he can delegate to someone with interim authority over the agency. It would have been simple for Dodd to move to start out the CFPB inside the Federal Reserve, and we wouldn't have this issue.
The dirty secret is that drafters write these laws to conform them to the necessary legalese – the Senators outline the broad points. So it's not unusual for Dodd not to know what's in his bill. But the consumer protection piece was pretty fundamental, and if it starts at Treasury, it stands to reason that they can have whoever they want to run things on an interim basis, unless it gets written into the law that the interim director needs Senate confirmation. This is just inattentiveness to the legislative process on the part of Dodd.
Again, my ideal preference would be for an interim appointment and a nomination simultaneously, and to have the nomination battle in the next few months. The public supports the financial bill more than anything Congress has recently done, and this strong signal of appointing a fighter for the middle class is good politics. Making sure she can actually do the job is good policy, and the combination appointment/nomination serves that goal in two ways. One, Warren can actually start regulating immediately. Two, it defuses the normal technique for Senate Republicans, to just delay confirmation forever. Because delay means nothing if Warren is already on the job. [Two updates after the jump.]
UPDATE: Tim Fernholz mentioned that Eric Stein is currently heading up CFPB's transition team. Stein is the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Consumer Protection, and a former senior Vice President with the Center for Responsible Lending.
UPDATE II: Wow, Dodd's just outright lying now.
Outgoing Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) warned Tuesday that an interim appointment of Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau "jeopardizes the existence" of the nascent agency.
"This is a big job, an important job, and it needs to be — you've got to build the support for that institutionally or the next Congress – and none of us know what the outcome's going to be politically — you could gut this before it even gets off the ground. If you don't have someone running it early on, it jeopardizes the existence of the consumer protection bureau," he said. Asked how Congress would gut it, he said: "Money. Take away the money. That's how you always do it."
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has independent funding. To gut it you'd have to gut the Federal Reserve. Dodd repeatedly stressed the independent funding of the CFPB during the Dodd-Frank debate. He claims that "They can change the funding source and kill it… That can change with an amendment" is no different than basically anything in the law today. The GOP could change the law forcing every American to tithe half their salaries to Goldman Sachs with an amendment. Who cares? Defunding is obviously a concern for everything, but I fail to understand the logic of not appointing the right person for a job due to that threat. It's like saying "don't poke the bear." The bear's awake.

I can't muster the energy to get worked up about the NFL's haphazard process for meting out punishments. I blew a gasket in October and in the weeks since, James Harrison has been fined another $45,000 or so for what amounts to playing football.
Commissioner Roger Goodell might be a great advocate for the owners, but he's the NFL equivalent of Bud Selig when it comes to competency. I'm pretty sure everybody — even those people who passionately hate the Steelers — can agree that Harrison's getting the shaft. In fact, it's gotten so bad, Terrell Suggs wonders what the hell is going on. Seriously.
During a Wednesday conference call he offered this: "Your guy over there, 92, I think he is red-flagged. The referees are kind of looking for him. Even if he breathes on a quarterback wrong, he might get a flag."
Of course, Suggs has some experience with running afoul of the NFL's version of the law. In 2005, in one of the most schadenfreude-tastic games I have ever seen, the Ravens lost to the Lions 35-17, committed 21 penalties, and referee Mike Carey tossed Suggs after accusing him of "having malice in his heart." Good times.
History aside, Suggs makes some sense: The league has their favorites," Suggs said. "One being in Indy and one being with that other team up north. Besides those two, everybody is fair game. Some quarterbacks are getting the calls right away. Some quarterbacks they don't care.
"Like I always said, Carson Palmer got hit in his knee in 2005 but there was no rule made. Then Tom Brady got hit in his knee and all of a sudden there is a rule and possible suspensions, excessive fines — it's just getting ridiculous."
It's ridiculous … and nothing's going to change. At least not for the better. I suspect at some point this season, Deebo might even get suspended. Frankly, I was sorta shocked it didn't happen already.
Part of me wonders what the league would do if, during the middle of a game, Harrison ran onto the field, punched Big Ben in the mouth, Seymour style, before pile-driving him to the turf. I'm guessing nothing — it would be some sort of punishment singularity.
UPDATE:: Just saw Hines Ward speaking the truth about all the fines:
Dear Hines: Quit making sense. Thanks in advance. Signed, Commissar Rog.
I have long been a proponent of Football Outsiders' stats. They're certainly more nuanced than "total yards" and offer a better picture of what is actually going on with a team or a player.
For example, I have very little trouble believing that, on a per-play basis, Mike Wallace is the NFL's best receiver. Or by that same measure, Ben ranks third behind only Tom Brady and Philip Rivers. Or, hell, that ROBO-PUNTER is third in Football Outsiders' "punt" metric. Intuitively, it makes sense.
So when FO's Week 12 DVOA team efficiency rankings came out, I was surprised to see the Steelers at No. 1 (offense is 10th, defense is 1st, special teams is 8th). Most of us agree that Pittsburgh is the decided underdog heading into Baltimore.
Maybe some of that has to do with subliminally being told as much by the media. But a lot of it has to do with watching the Steelers stumble their way through four of their last five games, not to mention all the injuries up and down the roster.
But getting hurt is a part of football, and this time of year every team is ailing. The bigger issue: inconsistent offensive effort and a defense that can expect the dink-and-dunk treatment going forward (perfected by Tom Brady, imitated by just about everybody else) until they can prove they can stop it.
In case you're wondering: the Ravens rank seventh overall (No. 12 offense, No. 8 defense, No. 6 special teams). But the Bills were the 29th heading into last week's game, so who knows.
Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz actually writes that, "Even though the Steelers needed overtime to beat a 2-8 team, DVOA — even after opponent adjustments — sees Pittsburgh as the superior team over the course of the entire game. The Steelers did a better job of maintaining long, sustained drives, and only recovered one of the game's four fumbles."
So there's that.
Of course, Aaron adds: "However, I know Steelers fans like to look for reasons for pessimism, so here's one: Take out the blowout win over Oakland, and the Steelers were actually better during the four games without Ben Roethlisberger than they have been since his return. Their average DVOA in the first four games was 32.7%. Their average DVOA in the last seven games is only slightly higher, 33.4%, even though that string of games includes the biggest single-game DVOA of the season in the Oakland blowout."
So there's that, too.
(By the way, we're starting to hear the media beat the "Yeah, but the Steelers can't beat the good teams" drum. Well, the Falcons rank ninth, the Titans 10th and the Dolphins 12th. As for the losses, the Pats are second, the Saints 11th. Just putting that out there.)
Apparently, Ben's 5-0 in his last five games against the Ravens, but ultimately, Sunday night's get-together is going to come down to … well, what it always comes down to: getting off the field on third down, creating turnovers, and finding away to keep Big Ben upright long enough to make plays.
We'll get into details during Thursday's preview podcast, but I'll point this out quickly: the way Hines Ward and Heath Miller have been playing recently have to be encouraging, as well as the emergence of Manny Sanders (even with that fourth-quarter drop in Buffalo) and Antonio Brown. Rashard's coming off a big-boy effort, but historically, Pittsburgh's running game goes out the window when they face Baltimore. Wouldn't mind that changing this time around.
For that to happen, the offensive line will have to play well, something it has struggled to do consistently since, what, the 2005 season? And that leads me to this sobering stat from Pro Football Focus: "The Steelers' offensive linemen were whistled for 13 penalties in this one, 10 of which were accepted. Compare that to the Falcons' offensive line — 11 penalties ALL SEASON." Lord help us.
In other news: Hines Ward still hates the Ravens. (Thanks to Ron Cook for clearing that up.)

How to Fix Three Fails Found by Serverbuddy
Posted 02 March 2011 - 07:16 PM
We ran Serverbuddy on our site and got fails on 3 tests: 1) Aloow Call Time Pass; 2) Magic Quotes (GPC); and 3) Maximum Execution Time. We are trying to fix an issue with BackupBuddy and DisplayBuddy and was hoping this would help do so.
Where do we find information on what these values SHOULD be?
Posted 05 March 2011 - 12:11 PM
The first two are not really failures of anything as such but indicate that your server has some php capabilities enabled which are no longer recommended to be used and as of php 5.3 will be deprecated. Code that currently uses these capabilities should be recoded to use alternate methods but due to legacy code present in many cases a lot of hosts configure their servers to allow these things.
The third concerning maximum execution time "fails" probably because the max_execution_time configured is 30s or less (probably 30s as that seems to be the general default). This is the maximum time a script is allowed to execute before being forcibly terminated - the intention being to prevent rogue processes or processor overloading in shared environments.
For BackupBuddy, dependent upon a variety of factors, 30s _may_ be too little to allow a backup or restore (depends on site/database size, processor load, whether you have access to native zip function, etc.). Good news is that generally you can increase this through a configuration line in your php.ini file (or sometimes php5.ini or similar) with a line like:
max_execution_time = 60
to increase it to 60s, etc. Some hosts don't impose a limit, others do. Unfortunately there are some hosts that don't allow you to change it. Suggestion would be to add a line like the above to your .ini file and then try Server Buddy again - if you get an OK for this item then you know your change has been allowed.
I can't think of any reason any of these would impact any of the Display Buddy plugins.
Hope that helps.

A throwback regulation?
By Arthur Hsieh
|Editor's note: In New York, the state Senate passed legislation that would allow EMTs to carry an AED in their personal vehicle for use while off-duty. Editorial Advisor Art Hsieh says being able to start CPR and use an AED as soon as possible is critical to the survival of a patient.
This is a great opportunity for a state government to craft sensible language that, in this case, delivers life saving care to a patient more clearly.
At first blush it seems like the right thing to do. Upstate New York is still made up of mostly rural communities whose EMS needs are provided by volunteer squads. In many situations, responders can be closer to the scene of a cardiac arrest than the ambulance station, and to be able to start CPR and use an AED sooner is critical to the survival of the patient.
If this seems to be common sense, why would there be regulations prohibiting a responder from carrying such a device in a personal vehicle?
My guess is that this regulation is a throwback to a time where an AED was a "new" piece of medical equipment, and had not yet been proven to be effective and safe to deploy.
The research has been abundant since, and the devices have been around long enough to appear in television series. However, regulations change slowly, due to a lack of priority, funding, or opposition from stakeholder groups.
In this case, it sounds like this change has been under way for several years. Hopefully this time it will stick.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
Our One-Day DIY Roush Install
Part 2: We add a custom tune, a few other mods, and go 10s with almost 600 rwhp.
Our visit to Stang-Hi Performance in Baton Rouge with the stock air-box, pump gas, and Roush calibration put out an ample 469 rwhp and 415 lb-ft of torque. That's with an 85mm pulley (yielding about 9psi of boost). The results of the tune swap alone were enough to bring a tiny little tear of joy to JD's eye—542 rwhp and 458 lb-ft of torque for a total gain of 73 hp to the tires.
With these results, it's safe to say a custom tune is a must in order to get into the 500-rwhp range with the first phase of this Roush supercharger. It's also the tune that netted us 10s.
Phase 2
105mm Roush Cold-Air with 93-Octane Lund Tune
The Phase 2 Roush supercharger kit (PN 421390), retailing for $6,599.99 and rated at 625-flywheel horsepower, is basically the Phase 1 kit with the addition of the supplied 105mm cold-air intake and a more aggressive in-house Roush calibration, removing the 50-state emissions-legal status.
Since we jumped right into having a custom tune from Lund Racing, we bypassed sending our PCM back to Roush. However, we did install the cold-air kit trackside with zero directions. Lucky for us, there was a Roush representative on hand and that helped us with one frustration-saving tip that we are passing on to you—it's much easier to install if you pre-assemble the entire airbox kit prior to replacing the stocker.
Overall, the swap was simple and only took a few minutes. With the newly installed addition it was time for another trip down the quarter-mile. With the assumption that the cold-air modification would help things "breath" a little better, we were surprised at the results—or should I say lack thereof: 10.90 at 128 mph, but still impressively fast.
Overall, we aren't quite sure the additional cost of the cold-air intake supplied in the second phase is really worth it since we easily achieved 10-second e.t.'s with the stock piece. We may not have been wowed, but it is more aesthetically pleasing than the factory airbox, and may help when higher power levels are reached for. These results go to show us that Ford didn't hold back on the 420hp 5.0, including the factory induction system.
Shell URT Advanced Race Fuel/Lund Tune
There has been quite a bit of buzz around the newest fuel to hit the race scene as Shell URT Advanced has proven to be a viable option to many commonly used fuels. After loading in the third and final custom email tune, we filled up the Pony with Shell URT Advanced and strapped her down on the Stang-Hi Performance DynoJet. We had to do a double-take when the numbers came up on the computer screen—582 rwhp and 462 lb-ft of torque for a gain of 38 rwhp from race fuel alone over the 93-octane.
One final track test was in order and with identical conditions as the previous track visit, we headed to the local test and tune session. Still being fed by the race fuel and Lund Racing tune, our five-oh screamed down the track with a best e.t. of 10.74 at a blazing 130.89 mph! This factory suspension Coyote actually lifted the front left wheel off the ground a couple of inches.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Lets recap for a moment from the start of the Roush Phase 2 project. We bolted on an astonishing grand total of 214 rwhp and nearly 120 lb-ft of torque in our home garage. We chiseled away about 2 full seconds from the stock quarter-mile time, and backed it up with multiple consistent runs. All of this while maintaining completely factory exhaust, converter, rear gears, fuel system, and suspension setup. This proves we haven't even tapped into the full potential of this 2.3-liter supercharger.
For Mustang lovers who live in states with strict emissions mandates, bolting on the Phase 1 Roush supercharger will get you deep in the 11-second range with ease, while maintaining factory driveability and virtually unchanged fuel economy. And gears and exhaust will likely get you 10s. Meanwhile, boost-junkies willing to spend a full Saturday with a buddy installing this Roush kit can be at the track running in the 11- and 10-second range on Sunday, or quicker with more mods.
In the near future, we plan to go faster than 10.70s, but in order to achieve any additional horsepower, we need to address the fuel system by adding a Boost-a-Pump (or similar system) to support those extra ponies. Combining more fuel with a converter/gear upgrade should yield us low 10s.
These results are a true testament to the quality of Ford's Coyote and Roush's engineering. We are seriously blown away.

Next to your username/handle at the top right is a drop down menu. Click "edit profile", in there click edit next to the username. You'll need to log in again, after that you see all your personal fields. Roughly in the middle of that form is the OTN username field.
What is proper discussion forum etiquette?
When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it including your database version, e.g. Oracle 10.2.0.4.
Format your code using code tags (see "How do I format code in my post?" below). Consulting documentation first is highly recommended. Furthermore, always be courteous; there are different levels of experience represented. A poorly worded question is better ignored than flamed - or better yet, help the poster ask a better question.
Keep linkspam out of your signature - your profile page is the appropriate place for users to find you more information about you.
Finally, it is good form to reward answerers with points (see "What are 'reward points'?" below) and also to mark the question answered when it has been. It is bad form to remind users to award points, posts to that effect will be removed.
What about Terms of Use?
A full document is posted here, but suffice to say that spam, defamation, obscenity, and bigotry are not tolerated and perpetrators will be banned. We're adults, let's act like them.
How is forum content organized?
The content in the forums is structured as follows:
- Categories: Categories represent a collection of forums as well as other categories. Often, categories are used to organize forums into a tree structure so members can find the right discussions more easily.
- Forums: Forums are the areas where individual discussions take place as a listing of threads.
- Threads: Threads are the discussions that consist of one or more messages displayed as a list, or in a tree structure of messages and their replies.
- Messages: Messages are the individual discussion posts made by community members.
- Replies: Message replies are posts in response to other messages and are organized in a flat or threaded mode.
What are "rewards points"?
It is possible for you to reward an answerer 5 points for a "helpful" answer or 10 points for a "correct" one (or none at all). Users who accumulate certain amounts of points reach different levels of recognition (see legend). In this manner, users who offer consistently helpful or correct answers raise their standing in the community. (Note: in order to award points, you must identify your post as a "question" first - which is set as default.)
How do I edit my handle or email address?
Your "handle" is the identity associated with your Forums account, and it is fully editable. (Note: If you select a handle that is already in use, you'll get an error message.) Note that the email address associated with your Forums account is the same one in your Oracle.com profile, and that you will receive Watch emails at that address. (To edit that address, go to http://myprofile.oracle.com.)
How do I start a discussion or post a question?
Every Forum has a Post New Thread icon above the main index. Click the icon and fill the form to start a new thread. If you are not logged-in, you will be prompted to login. When you are finished, click Preview, reread your post, then click Go Back/Edit to make changes or additions. When you are finished, click Post.
How do I reply to a message?
Every message has a Reply icon to the right of the date that the message was posted. Click the icon and fill the form to reply to the message. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to login. When you are finished, click Preview, verify your post, then click Go Back/Edit to make changes or additions. When you are finished, click Post.
I can't reply to a thread, it doesn't have a reply icon or link. Why?
If a thread has a "lock" icon next to it, a forum moderator has decided to lock it. No one may further reply to the thread until it is unlocked.
I posted a message earlier, but now it is gone. What happened?
Two things could have happened. The message was either moved to another forum because it was off topic, or deleted because it was inappropriate/contravened house rules - by a moderator. Reports of spam users or posts are also usually deleted once the offending posts or users have been dealt with.
What are Watches and how do I use them?
