Mew's DNA contains the genes of every Pokemon, and it can learn any Pokemon move, and it can transform into any Pokemon. Those are huge characteristics. It's pretty difficult to argue against Mew as the ancestor of all Pokemon when Mew has these attributes, while Arceus only has an epic rumor.
I stumbled on something quite interesting"
The first
legendary Pokemon
that Red saw was Mew; he tried to capture it, but due to his lack of experience he was unable to catch it. In the Emerald arc,
used soil from Mew's birthplace to calm down all the rental Pokémon as Mew had the DNA of all Pokémon.
This leaves me to believe that Mew has all and Arceus Dna and Im sure they dont know for sure were is Mew's birthplace. Many people believes that Mew cant be of such responsibility as to judging it by its nature and personality in the movies as a playful creature not serious about life or danger unless its to its max. Mew is the first if it carries every Pokemon' Dna as "Vendour" stated, it has strong reasons to be the first as to saying how we know that every thing in the movies are real, like meaning that Im sure they haven't capture Mew's dna if it is a mirage Pokemon, what method did they use to get such Dna to make these statements and as for Arceus if indeed it is a God Pokemon then how was it disabled by Palkias spacial powers, I thinks its all just legends if you ask me.

Vu Le remembers when he entered the nonprofit world. He had just earned his masters in social work from Washington University in St. Louis, and a reality hit him.
"I could not find a job because I had no experience," Le said. It's a familiar story in Washington state, home to roughly 2.5 public charities per 1,000 people.
One option was AmeriCorps VISTA, a national service corps placing young volunteers at nonprofit groups addressing poverty. However, while it offered training, mentorship and a nonprofit network with the VISTA volunteer's year of service, AmeriCorps' stipend currently hovers around $11,770 a year, in calibration with the federal poverty line.
"The challenge with that is only the people who have a safety net through their parents at home and with their families can enroll in AmeriCorps VISTA," Le said.
Meanwhile, foundations and think tanks have also recognized a disparity between nonprofit staff and the people they serve. According to a 2012 National Urban Fellows report, just 8 percent of nonprofit executive directors in the U.S. were people of color. In contrast, nonprofits served communities that are 58 percent people of color, according to an Annie E. Casey Foundation survey.

|Issues for C's: Avery Bradley's shoulder, team's margin for error
|05.20.12 at 9:42 pm ET
WALTHAM — Avery Bradley's shoulder popped out of place early in the second half of Game 4, but at some point between the time he walked off the court in agony and the time he reached the end of the bench, trainer Eddie Lacerte was able to pop it back into place.
"It's just tough. It really is. I swear a lot of people would not be playing, and the only reason he is is because he wants to," Doc Rivers said on Sunday before the team conducted practice. "I am concerned at some point that he may not be able to anymore. We don't know what game that is, we don't know what day he can finish it. We can keep going all the way and he can play [or] tomorrow could be his last game."
The 21-year-old Bradley has impressed his teammates with his toughness, but they also know that there's a line and he's right on the verge of crossing it.
"A lot of young players would probably sit down, worry about their future, their career," Paul Pierce said. "At the end of the day, Avery has to do what's best for him and his family and possibly for the long run. Hopefully he doesn't have any long-term injuries due to the fact that he's playing. I think it's a fine line there, too."
There's the issue for the Celtics. They are 18 points better with Bradley on the court than when he's off — the second-best mark behind Kevin Garnett's absurd plus-56. When Bradley picked up his fourth foul early in the second half of Game 4, they were ahead by 18 points. When he returned, they were down by one.
"We don't ever do it the easy way, but I don't know if we could," Rivers said. "Not because of the mental, just because we are thin. There are times we do break and it's more for other reasons than basketball."
It's not just Bradley, of course. Ray Allen is playing through bone spurs that would likely put him on the sidelines if it was the regular season. Mickael Pietrus and Pierce have knee issues. Every team in the league has injury issues, but few teams left in the postseason are as thin, or as old, as the Celtics.
"That's the scariest part of our team," Rivers said. "I've said it for three months. We are very thin. We don't have a big margin for error. We don't have it even when guys are healthy. Our good players have to play well to give our bench guys a chance to stay on the floor longer, which allows us to get more rest. There's a minute number in every game that I'm concerned with our starters. When they get over that, we struggle. There's a lot of things going on in a game every night for us. Quite honestly a lot of teams don't have to deal with, but we do and we know that."
|Celtics look to get Paul Pierce open
|05.16.12 at 12:31 pm ET
PHILADELPHIA — The Celtics have had a hard time getting Paul Pierce open for shots in the first two games of their series with the 76ers. Part of that can be attributed to Pierce's sprained knee. A lot of it can be attributed to Andre Iguodala's defense. Whatever the reason, the Celtics are going to try to make adjustments for Wednesday night's Game 3.
"We're not sure where those spots are yet," Doc Rivers said. "Usually with Paul, the elbow isos are great, but right now he can't get away from anybody with his leg. We're going to go to more pin-downs for him and do different things. You usually didn't have to get a body off of him. He can usually shake the body on his own. I think now we have to use him a lot like Ray [Allen] and bring him off screens."
Pierce was 2-for-9 in Game 2 and is just 5-for-20 in the series. Rivers added that he may try to get more post-up looks for Pierce to try to get him going.
Asked about the severity of Pierce's injury, Rivers said, "I don't do percentages. I don't think Iguodala cares what percentage he is and that's what counts. When he's on the floor he's 100 percent and that's how we play our guys, that's how we view it. Whether he is or isn't really doesn't matter. We have to get 100 percent out of him of what he has, that's what we have to do." Read the rest of this entry »
|Celtics report 'full participation' in shootaround, ready for Game 2
|05.14.12 at 11:52 am ET
WALTHAM — In a sign that all hands will again be on deck for Monday night's Game 2 against the Sixers, the Celtics reported full participation in the brief shootaround Monday morning.
Team owner Wyc Grousbeck attended and watched from the sidelines as the team went through mostly a series a halfcourt sets in preparation for Monday night's game, which tips off at 7 p.m. at TD Garden.
Paul Pierce (left knee), Ray Allen (right ankle), Avery Bradley (left shoulder) and Mickael Pietrus (right knee) all took part in the workout.
How will the Celtics come out for Game 2? Take a look above at Doc Rivers in his postgame presser from Game 1 and you can probably see what he and the coaching staff talked about Monday morning as they look to get a stranglehold on the series.
The Celtics are looking to go up 2-0 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series after Saturday's 92-91 win, a game they trailed by 10 with under 11 minutes remaining. The series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 Wednesday night and Game 4 Friday night.
|Maturing Avery Bradley relishes playoff experience
|05.11.12 at 10:38 am ET
Every playoff game, as the Celtics starters are being introduced at TD Garden, fans are reminded of Avery Bradley's growth as a player. Over the five-year run of the new Big Three era, fans are accustomed to hearing Ray Allen's name, but lately it's Bradley's who is called.
It takes a little getting used to. After all, moving ahead of arguably the greatest 3-point shooter of all-time in the lineup is no easy feat. As Bradley gains playoff experience, his understanding of the nuances and intricacies of the game at the NBA level increases minute by minute. During the Celtics' series-clinching 83-80 win in Game 6 Thursday night, Bradley took another step toward maturity when he requested to guard Jeff Teague.
Bradley was stuck guarding Marvin Williams — who, at 6-foot-9, has seven inches on the C's youngster — and surrendered eight points in the first quarter. It was a tough matchup for Bradley. In the second quarter the Hawks opened up a 28-20 lead and Boston was left searching for answers on both ends of the court.
But as Williams started to cool off, the C's guard decided to take on a player who has hurt Boston throughout the series, Teague. So, the usually reticent Bradley pitched his desire to shut down the other No. 0 to Doc Rivers.
"He had a great series," Bradley said of Teague. "I just wanted to come in this game, and I was covering Marvin, and I told the coaches 'let me pressure Teague a bit.' Even [Rajon] Rondo came to me and told me to pressure him. I just wanted to make everything hard on him tonight. My main focus was just to slow him down and make things hard on him to get them out of their offense."
|Avery Bradley is ready for the closeout challenge Thursday
|05.10.12 at 2:40 pm ET
WALTHAM — Avery Bradley knows as well as anyone on the banged up Celtics what it's like to play through pain.
He's dealing with a "sore" rotator cuff in his left shoulder, the team announced after its shootaround Thursday morning.
He is expected to start and play in Game 6 tonight.
"It's a little sore," Bradley said after Thursday's shootaround. "I've been fighting through the pain all year. I'll be ready for tonight."
How does he cope?
"Just by not thinking about it," Bradley added. "I'm going to get hit. There's a chance it could pop out but I try not to think about it. I just go out there and just play."
The Celtics lead the series, 3-2, and can close out the Hawks in Game 6, which is set for an 8 p.m. tipoff.
"We're very focused," Bradley said. "We know what we need to improve on this game. I feel like we'll be prepared tonight."
What does Bradley think will change from Game 5, when the Celtics had a 28-18 lead early in the second quarter, only to have it slip away?
"Just our intensity level," he said. "We didn't come out and play as hard as we played the previous game. We know we have to come out and have a strong start, play good defense and there's a chance we could win the game."
The Celtics also announced Thursday morning, just hours before their Game 6 showdown with the Hawks, that captain Paul Pierce has a sprained MCL in his left knee but he will be available to play and start in the potential closeout game for Boston.
Pierce injured the knee on Sunday morning during a Celtics shootaround prior to Game 4 at the Garden. He then reinjured hours later in the game when he tried to get around a screen set by Josh Smith.
Celtics officials at the team's shootaround Thursday were adamant in denying reports of any tears or bone spurs in Pierce's knee.
|Irish Coffee: 5 questions Celtics must solve in Game 6
|05.09.12 at 2:04 pm ET
In many ways, the Game 5 loss was simply a string of statistical Celtics anomalies that favored the Hawks.
- After making 21-of-82 treys in Games 1-4 (25.6%), The Hawks shot 7-of-16 from 3-point range (43.8%).
- The Hawks committed four more turnovers (18-14), but the Celtics scored four fewer points off them (21-25).
- After the Celtics kept pace on the glass in Games 1-4 (174-178), the Hawks won the Game 5 battle, 41-33.
- Paul Pierce air-balled a would-be go-ahead 20-footer with 18 seconds remaining.
- Rajon Rondo lost his sure handle and failed to deliver a pass while time expired.
Of course, there are reasons for those anomalies, so how must the Celtics adjust to avoid a Game 7 on the road?
|Avery Bradley: 'Now I'm ready; I'll be ready in Round 2 as well'
|05.07.12 at 1:00 pm ET
Avery Bradley didn't play a single minute of the 2011 Celtics playoff run that ended in five games against the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and even before Round 1 of his sophomore season is over he's already declared himself prepared for the next hurdle in his budding young career. My, how things change.
"It's been great," said Bradley of his first four playoff games and his team's resulting 3-1 series lead. "I've been able to learn a lot and gain a lot of confidence. The main thing for me is learning how to approach the playoffs. That was big for me, and now I'm ready; I'll be ready in Round 2 as well."
This from a kid who made 8-of-45 field goal attempts outside of three feet as a rookie last season. Bradley had one career 3-point field goal through March 22 of this season. Here's how far he's come: Of the C's first six shots against the Hawks, Bradley took four of them — all outside of 21 feet, on a bum left shoulder.
"It hurt me, but I tried not to think about it," said Bradley, who left in the third quarter of Game 3 with a recurring left shoulder dislocation. "I just went out there and played hard. I knew my team needed that energy, and that's what I wanted to bring. It's been the same. It gets worse as I continue to knock it out, but it's something that I'm going to continue to get treatment on, strengthen and it'll get better eventually."

September 08, 2010Reviewer: Taryn in ConnecticutThese are really awful. They taste nothign like "garlic parmesan" at all, and they are hard as a rock -- more like a chewy, tasteless pretzel than a bread stick. Skip this product.This review is specific to Carb Counters Bread Sticks, Garlic Parmesan
January 28, 2009Reviewer: linda in CaliforniaTaste like stale dry soy. Yuck.This review is specific to Carb Counters Bread Sticks, Plain
November 12, 2008Reviewer: Jennifer in MichiganI recently ordered this item to test what a low-carb bread stick would be like. They were basically like pressed sawdust. Not much flavor at all and a bit dry. They do look like and have the texture of a hard bread stick, but do not have the taste or richness of bread. I did crush a few of these to add to a meat loaf recipe in place of bread crumbs and they seemed to do well in that capacity, however, I would not recommend eating these by themselves as a satisfying snack.

"WELCOME TO MY ST. PETERSBURG PAGE...... :-)" Saint Petersburg by eden_teuling
Saint Petersburg Travel Guide: 3,614 reviews and 7,797 photos
On the 27th May 2003 this wonderful CITY celebrated its 300 th "BIRTHDAY".....
Tsaar Peter de Grote had very close connections with THE NETHERLANDS where he often came and once stayed for quite some time, to learn how boats had to be built...
The travel agency VOYAGE AND CULTURE and the St. Petersburg's museum THE HERMITAGE have planned to publish a special map that will give us all a clear image of the presence of THE NETHERLANDS in St. Petersburg from the very start of the foundation of the CITY in 1703!
In 1996 our crown-prince Willem-Alexander opened the manifestation "VENSTER OP NEDERLAND" (VIEW ON THE NETHERLANDS) IN THE LARGE HALL of the Museum THE HERMITAGE in St. Petersburg.
It is a pity that I can't scan the special, beautiful map for this page but it is too large!
A lot has been changed lately in St. Petersburg, as I have been able to notice myself....
The Dutch Consulate has moved house to a very nice and representative building in the City centre.....
The is freedom and beauty and after my 2003 holiday I shall write some more, because it is very interesting history....
My scanner doesn't work at the moment but......soon it will work again (I hope!!)
Do visit the FABULOUS CITY on the river NEVA : you will enjoy it!
There is still the TSAAR PETER house in ZAANDAM (THE NETHERLANDS) where he lived while working himself at the wharfs....
He so wanted to change the isolated city (after conquoring Sweden) into a modern WESTERN city (overnight!!) and worked hard himself and succeeded in founding this CITY and make it the CAPITAL.
Celebration Week was in May 2003.
This is the FAMOUS CATHEDRAL OF ST. PETER which was in scaffolding at the time I was there.....such a pity, but....the inside is gorgeous, don't mind the outside.....which btw will be wonderful now.....
I have already visited St. Petersburg when the city was called LENINGRAD......and I am glad it is St. Petersburg again now.........

That's a beauty.
Barbet Schroeder's "Barfly"
Roger Ebert on the set of Barfly. [more inside]
It was a dark and pixellated night.
8-bit illustrations of opening lines to classic short stories by Kafka, Bukowski, Barthelme, and others. Oliver Miller, the creator of the series, writes: I... love short stories. I was an English major, and then I got an MFA in writing. Before that, I was a nerd who huddled in a basement, with his nerd friends, clicking with a mouse to play Bard's Tale II. So basically, making 8-bit drawings of short stories encapsulates my whole life and, I hope, yours as well.
with an Apple Macintosh you can't run Radio Shack programs
16-bit Intel 8088 chip by Charles Bukowski. [more inside]
Julia Pott's First Crush
Animation: Julia Pott just graduated from Kingston University on animation and illustration. She has made some short movies and two books. Charles Bukowski's "The Man With The Beautiful Eyes" is an inspiration among others.
Through All the Lousy Luck
I first read "Ask the Dust" in 1971 when I was doing research for "Chinatown". I was concerned about the way people really sounded when they talked, and I was dissatisfied with everything else I had read that was written during the '30s. I wanted the real thing, as Henry James would say. When I picked up Fante's "Ask the Dust," I just knew that was the way those kids talked to each other—the rhythms, cadences, racism. Robert Towne on adapting John Fante's novel for the big screen. More inside.
The beat goes on...
Remembering Bukowski
Remembering Bukowski I've read some nice Bukowski tributes before, but this one seems particularly a propos given the kind of summer LA's been having. Viva La Reverend Tony!

I am stuck in an interest only loan and unable to refinance due to a significant decrease in my home value. The loan was sold to a private investor and is unwilling to negotioate a loan mod since I am current on the payments.
Other than for that fact I would qualify for a loan mod. The current payment, P&I and taxes and insurance would be about 35% of my gross.
The current rate is 6.875 and becomes adjustable next year> Just wondering if I have any options other than defaulting on some payments. As an added bonus I have foolishly racked up significant credit card debt and need help there too.
Thank you for your time

Since 1988, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved proton therapy to treat cancer patients, the medical community has been conducting clinical trials to investigate the use of protons in treating different types of cancer. Over the years, many patients have volunteered to take part in these clinical trials to help find improvements in fighting cancer with proton therapy.
As a dedicated provider of proton therapy, ProCure is always looking for ways to improve the lives of our patients with cancer. Our team has made a commitment to participate in clinical trials to further our knowledge of the benefits of proton therapy in treating many tumor types. In addition, ProCure continues to pioneer advancements in the use of proton therapy for treating cancer and other diseases.
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. They are the final step in a long process that begins with research in a lab. Each study answers a specific set of scientific questions and explores better ways to prevent, screen for, diagnose, or treat a disease. Most cancer treatments used today are the results of past clinical trials. To better understand cancer clinical trials, please visit About Clinical Trials
For every clinical trial, a protocol, or action plan, is prepared prior to conducting the trial. The protocol describes in detail what will be done in the study, how it will be conducted, and why each part of the study is necessary. Each study has its own rules about who can participate. For instance, some studies need patients with a certain condition, some need healthy people, or some need just men or just women.
For men who have been diagnosed with Stage 1 or 2 prostate cancer and who are considering radiation therapy to treat their disease, there is a clinical trial being conducted at the ProCure Proton Therapy Center, Somerset, NJ, for you to consider.
This trial is supported by NCI and compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer: intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy (PBT). Both methods are already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat prostate cancer, but there has not yet been a clinical trial to compare which of these two radiation types has the fewest side effects on bowel, urinary, and erectile function. Proton beam treatment is available at the ProCure Proton Center in Somerset, and traditional IMRT is available at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold, NJ.
This trial seeks to enroll 400 men. We hope to enroll patients who represent the diversity of the men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Trial participants will be randomly assigned to receive either V. 4-11-14 (NCI) IMRT or PBT over a 9-week period, and they will be followed closely for up to 5 years after the completion of treatment.To learn more about this research study and to see if you are eligible, please call to schedule a consultation at 732-357-2600. You can also find information online at http://1.usa.gov/16hZGMt
A registry trial to collect and analyze information from patients treated with proton therapy.
A study to look at the rates of acute and long-term adverse events of postoperative proton radiotherapy for complex loco-regional irradiation in women with loco-regionally advanced breast cancer. This study specifically includes longitudinal follow-up to assess the incidence of cardiac mortality and second malignant neoplasms at 10 and 15 years following proton therapy.
A research study to compare the effects (good and bad) on subjects and their cancer using standard chemotherapy in combination with hypofractionated proton radiation therapy. Hypofractionation is a technique that delivers higher daily doses of radiation over a shorter period of time.
You can search for more clinical trials by visiting http://www.clinicaltrials.gov
If you are interested in participating in a trial listed above, please contact a member of our research team and we will help you with next steps.

Maybe it was coincidence that Bill Kercher's Jan. 21 letter "Far left can't stand Tim Tebow" was printed on the same day as Lou Brancaccio's column on the same subject. Shame on you, Mr. Editor, for mocking something you obviously don't personally understand. For those who do understand, Tim Tebow shines, and it's about much more than football.

I got Pokemon Stadium 2 used as a kid. It already had a bunch of Level 100 Pokemon including all the legendaries (Except Mew and Mewtwo damnit) And it was a lot of fun.... Even though at a certain point I couldn't do **** because I didn't know how to use what I had. ~Sigh~ Maybe I'll go back to it some time. Couldn't hurt right?

Hi lucbui !
I really like your hack rom so I will post a reply here before I go to search the secret in Tunod this night :D ( It's 10 Pm in Belgium.)
First the best for me in Glazed is the two region, i really like thats because is like "Two game in one" or "Two adventures in one game" for me.
Then I appreciate that's is not too many bugs in the Rom Hack. Too many Hack ROM is unplayable because the bug is too big. The only problems I have seen are the cries of Pokemon. Some Pokemon are not good.
I want to see the future release of Glazed, good luck :D
Ps : I am sorry for my bad spelling, grammar and all that one can imagine, but I have really difficult because I don't really speak good English. ( My language is French.)

Pre-departure Checklist
Things to do

Please ensure that you have received the IPA letter before you leave for Singapore. Please read here before you start the student's pass application process.
- All students are required to undergo a compulsory medical examination with Raffles Medical Group (RMG) in Singapore prior to starting their studies at SMU. Please visit the matriculation website for more details.
- Please ensure that you have a valid passport for international travel with a validity of at least six months.
- International full-time undergraduates must bring along their original high school results and/or transcripts, SAT I report etc. for verification at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at SMU upon arrival into Singapore. Official translations of documents are required if they are not in English. Postgraduates are to bring their relevant documents with them for verification on the specific date stated by their respective Graduate Offices.

According to Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times, Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is participating in today's practice while Adrian Clayborn is being held out.
Looks like Gerald McCoy is fine. He's working today. Adrian Clayborn being held out tho. Neither injury expected to be problematic
— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) August 28, 2012
McCoy injured his knee and Clayborn banged up his elbow during last Friday's preseason game.
The good news is that both players should be good for week one.

A Diabetes and Prevention Project For Your Community
A grant from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has been awarded to the Center for Appalachian Philanthropy (AppaPhil). The purpose of the grant is to begin work with people in the Appalachian region—including your community—to reduce diabetes risk. Research shows more work needs to be done in areas such as social ideas, group actions, environmental and local policy. The AppaPhil grant project will be mindful of family, neighborhood, and community needs. For example, the unavailability of healthy foods in neighborhood stores, limited food choices, lack of recreational facilities, and of safe places for play will be addressed. In addition, housing, education, health and environmental concerns will be addressed. Policies that influence health behaviors and disease risks will also be given attention.
There are four primary goals of the grant project:
- Strengthen diabetes coalitions in each participating county.
- Map county assets and create a local strategic plan.
- Strategically address local diabetes prevention.
- Implement sustainable community actions.

First data collection dates from 1984
The HUNT Study - a longitudinal population health study in Norway
The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (The HUNT Study) is one of the largest health studies ever performed. It is a unique database of medical histories, both personal and family histories, collected during three intensive studies. The fundamental strategy is to earn and maintain the confidence of the population we work with, as is necessary for any successful population study. This strategy has resulted in extraordinarily high participation rates, given us a good base for further health surveys in the county and an excellent research environment.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Craven County commissioners want state lawmakers to require a photo ID when people vote in that county.
By a 5-2 vote, commissioners this morning approved a resolution asking the legislature to enact the local bill. It mirrors a bill passed this past summer which was vetoed by Governor Beverly Perdue.
Craven County is one of several counties to try this local option for the voter ID bill. Local bills become law without the governor's signature and cannot be vetoed. Columbus County commissioners will decide tonight whether to also take that route.
Congressman G.K. Butterfield said he was disappointed in Craven County's decision. The first district Democrat said the county is joining a nationwide Republican-led initiative to suppress voting rights.
Butterfield says in Craven County 13% of African-American registered voters and 11% of registered voters over age 65 do not have a government photo ID.

I have a Thecus N5200 Pro integrated into my Windows 2003 AD network. My current backup solution involves Backup Exec 11D but this requires a running service for windows boxes or a similar daemon for linux machines. The N5200 runs a custom linux kernel but as of yet I am unable to add it to my backups through Backup Exec.
Does anyone know of a method of backing up directly from the N5200 to Backup Exec without moving the data to an intermediary for archiving?

Want to be YouTube famous? Don't read the manual
Want to be a YouTube star? Well, you could read the tome YouTube just published. Or you could just watch YouTube. That seems easier.
The online-video giant has released a a 70-page instruction manual outlining "strategies that helps creators build audiences on YouTube." Called the "Creators Playbook," it steers clear of most of the real techniques popular YouTubers used to get famous.
We're not sure who the "Creators Playbook" is for, exactly -- maybe the wave of older YouTubers the site is eagerly anticipating?
It's a little late for YouTube to be releasing a manual like this, especially when one considers the thousands of videos already on the site titled "How to Get Famous/Popular/More Views on YouTube." Some of the how-tos are a bit more sarcastic than others—but for those of you who don't feel like reading 70 pages, watch these videos instead. The videos below mention most of the tips in the "Creators Playbook" … and then some.
Watching a young girl like LizziesAnswers talk for 12 minutes might seem daunting. But despite the screaming all-caps title, "GET POPULAR ON YOUTUBE," she's more eloquent than she first seems. She covers both the "right" and "wrong" way to get noticed on YouTube. Lizzie's advice is to stay the course: "The thing that you need to accept before posting your video is that you're not going to become popular overnight … it's going to take time but do NOT give up."
Oh, and do put your videos' title in all caps. It works.
Shane Dawson, last year's Web Star in the Teen Choice Awards, notes the importance of T & A—"titties and accents"—in his "HOW TO GET 'BIG' ON YOUTUBE" video.
His genuine tip is to try and do a collaboration with a more popular YouTuber. (Like, say, Dawson: He joined YouTube in 2008 and his work has been viewed more than 500 million times.)
Olga Kay, who's been on YouTube since 2006, and has more than 33 million views on her video, might fit into Dawson's T&A category. But her video, 'How to make it on youtube," is a bit more sincere. She mentions video length, good editing techniques (like removing your thinking words and faces), and lighting.
YouTube user physicpebbles' "How to be a Youtube Famous Vlogger!" is more mocking than genuine. The very first tip is to "steal content." That may be a criticism, fair or not, of Ray William Johnson, currently the most popular personality on YouTube, who's known for commenting on other YouTubers' videos.
HowCast's 2008 video, "How To Get Your Video Noticed on YouTube," is still pertinent in 2011. Tips include parodying an already popular video, the importance of production value and finding a specific niche.
Don't be put off by the apparent youth of the vlogger in filmtipsandtutorials: "How To Become Popular on Youtube" helpfully stresses the importance of participating in the community through comments and video responses. "It's huge," he says.
Andrew Bravener's video is a more tongue-in-cheek how-to. Bravener, who's been on YouTube since 2006, doesn't use any of the tips mentioned in his video because, as he mentions in a comment, he doesn't want to be YouTube famous.
Some humorous tips in his video include taking the most sexually explicit thing in your video, or some pop culture reference, and using that as your title. Continuing on the topic of titles, Bravener also recommends making your title in all caps with "four exclamation points", so it sounds "really exciting."
Bravener's video also utilizes the much-hated though cheap and effective way of getting YouTube views by making his video thumbnail a busty girl. YouTube video thumbnails are automatically created from a screengrab during the first third, halfway point, or last third of a video.
Is all this advice effective? There's only one way to find out. In the interest of YouTube science, I'm going to make a video employing them all. At once.
It should be fancy. Any suggestions?

A county commissioner will replace former state Rep. Cary Allred in the North Carolina House.
The Times-News of Burlington reported Alamance County Republican
leaders chose Dan Ingle as Allred's successor over two other
candidates Monday night. The nomination now goes to Gov. Beverly
Perdue, who is required by law to appoint Ingle to the House seat.
Allred resigned from the Legislature last week following a review of his conduct during a floor session in April. Allred was accused of drinking before speeding to work and embracing a teenage female page. Allred said he did nothing unethical.
Ingle is an Elon University police detective who received 17 of the 24 votes cast by the Alamance County's GOP executive committee.
Ingle was ultimately approved by acclamation.
