Student Mission/Volunteer Grants for Christian Ministry & Service
The Campus Christian Center (CCC) offers several special grants in various forms for Christian ministry or service. The support for these grants comes from other established CCC accounts that donors have designated for specific kinds of programs or activities. In each case, these grants receive their names from the donors of these funds.
The CCC staff will consider each proposed Student Mission/Volunteer project on the basis of its own merit. Should the staff agree to support a proposed project, the Center will award the amount of funds on the basis of the proposal's merit and the availability of resources in the Center's accounts. In most cases, however, the Center cannot support the entire cost for a project. Students who seek support from the Center for projects in Christian ministry or service should not expect the Center to provide all funds, but should also raise support for their project from other sources as well.
Requirements & Qualifications
(read carefully before filling out application)
A. Eligibility
Eligibility for grants from the CCC includes two considerations, one with reference to the student and the other with reference to the nature of the project itself.
- Although the CCC will consider applications from students who will graduate or not return to Berea College for other reasons, the Center will provide the majority of its support to proposals from students who will return to Berea College after completion of the project. Therefore, all students at Berea College, including students in their final year of study, are eligible to submit proposals for Mission/Volunteer Grants to the CCC.
- The CCC supports projects only for Christian ministry and service. The proposed area of service must qualify as a Christian ministry or work, which may also include work with other religious communities or inter-religious / inter-faith service or ministry.
- Mission/service projects should be at least one month in length to receive funding.
- If your destination is on the State Department's warning list, the CCC will not provide funding.
- In order to apply for a Student Mission/Volunteer Grant, students must have attained at least a 2.5 Grade Point Average at Berea College. (Students must be willing to produce an official statement to this effect from the office of the Director of Student Academic Records and Accounts, if requested.)
- Students cannot apply for these grants if currently under any form of probation at Berea College. (Students must be willing to produce an official statement to this effect from the office of the Director of Student Academic Records and Accounts, if requested.)
- NOTE: F-1 students are only eligible for grant money under very specific circumstances. F-1 students must meet with Ms. Shai Anderson before applying.
B. Formal Application
Each student must complete the CCC Grants in Ministry Service Application when applying for a Student Mission/Volunteer Grant in Christian ministry or service. Students should return an electronic copy of the completed application to the CCC. While the form is generally due mid/late February, the submission deadline changes annually. Please contact Rev. Dr. Loretta Reynolds to confirm all dates. The application contains three major parts: (1) basic information about the student and the mission/volunteer project; (2) a budget; (3) agreement to attend a mandatory orientation later in the spring, if awarded the grant.
Note: The description of the proposed project or program must provide a rationale for the ways in which this particular proposal contributes to the student's vocation and spirituality.
C. Local Contact Person / Supervisor
Each student must secure and provide information for a supervisor or contact at Berea College, when applying for a Student Mission/Volunteer Grant in Christian ministry or service. (You must secure permission from the person before listing them as a local supervisor.)
D. Supervisor on Location
Each student must secure and provide information for a designated field supervisor – a supervisor in ministry on the location of the student's proposed project – when applying for a Student Mission/Volunteer Grant in Christian ministry or service.
E. Pre-Experience Orientation
Important Travel Abroad Information: Students planning to do mission/service work abroad must follow all Center for International Education (CIE) requirements for travel abroad. Please contact Rev. Dr. Loretta Reynolds to confirm when the CIE approval paperwork must be completed.
Note: this deadline is before the CCC deadline. If these forms are not complete by the deadline, the student will not be eligible for a CCC Mission/Volunteer Grant.
All students traveling abroad must attend the CIE orientation for non-BIST (Berea International Summer Team) students on the scheduled date. Approval of grants depends on attendance at both required orientation sessions (CCC and CIE) and the completion of all CIE travel abroad requirements.
During Spring Term, all recipients of Mission/Volunteer Grants from the CCC will attend a short, required Orientation session with the CCC. The date/time will be announced once all grant recipients have been named.
F. Written Reports
A narrative report of the student's activities in ministry and service during the project should include theological reflection on the meaning of this work and experience both for those whom the student will serve and for the student's own personal spiritual growth. One report is due at the mid-point of the student's service; the second is due within one month of the completion of the project.
G. Oral Presentation
In addition, each Student Mission/Volunteer Grant recipient in ministry should prepare an oral presentation after the mission has concluded for the Campus Christian Center. This oral presentation will occur during a special service of worship in Danforth Chapel in the Fall Semester. Student Mission/Volunteer Grant recipients must attend and participate in this program. Recipients will receive details about this service of worship upon return to campus in the fall.
H. Application Confirmation
You will receive confirmation via email within 2 days from the CCC that we have received your application. If you do not receive confirmation, it is your responsibility to follow up with the Center. If your application is not complete, it will not be considered. If you have questions, it is your responsibility to ask before the application is due.
For more information about this program contact Rev. Dr. Loretta Reynolds, D. Theol., College Chaplain and Assistant Professor of General Studies.

In older adults, widespread pain (WP) is common, although its etiology is unclear. This study sought to identify factors associated with an increased risk of developing WP in adults age ≥50 years.
A population-based prospective study was conducted. A baseline questionnaire was administered to subjects to collect data on pain, psychological status, lifestyle and health behaviors, and sociodemographic and clinical factors. Participants free of WP (as defined by the American College of Rheumatology 1990 criteria for fibromyalgia) were followed up for 3 years, and those with new-onset WP at followup were identified. Logistic regression analyses were used to test the relationship between baseline factors and new-onset WP. Multiple imputation was used to test the results for sensitivity to missing data.
In this population-based study, 4,326 subjects (1,562 reporting no pain at baseline and 2,764 reporting some pain at baseline) participated at followup. Of these participants, 800 (18.5%) reported a status of new WP at followup (of whom, 121 [7.7%] had reported no pain at baseline and 679 [24.6%] had reported some pain at baseline). The majority of the study factors were associated with new-onset WP. However, only a few factors showed a persistent association with new-onset WP in the multivariate analysis, including age (odds ratio [OR] 0.97, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.96–0.99), baseline pain status (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.08–1.2), anxiety (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.01–2.1), physical health-related quality of life (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1–1.5), cognitive complaint (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.04–1.6), and nonrestorative sleep (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.2–2.8). These associations persisted after adjustment for the presence of diffuse osteoarthritis (OA), which led to a modest increase in model fit (C-statistic 0.738, compared with 0.731 in the model excluding diffuse OA). The results were not sensitive to missing data.
Of the factors measured in this study, nonrestorative sleep was the strongest independent predictor of new-onset WP.

text: Well I would think they would not survive. First of all, mums come in two basic types: florist mums and hardy mums. Florist mums are those you get as gifts and see for sale at grocery stores, etc. They are not hardy and are mainly grown for the flower market and should be tossed after blooming. Hardy mums, are garden plants that will come back every year, BUT they are not always truly hardy and often don't come back or will come back for several years and then disappear. I doubt any of them would survive in a pot in an unheated greenhouse mainly because the soil would freeze in a pot that's not protected in some way. Hardy mums are just not that hardy to withstand that kind of treatment. At this time of year, the best thing to do is to get them in the ground as soon as possible, clip them back after they go dormant later in the fall, and mulch them with leaves to provide some protection during the winter. Hardiness also seems to vary between different hardy mum varieties. Some are just tougher than others. And, of course, it depends on how tough of a winter you have. If nothing else, I'd sink your pots in the ground and provide some protection over the winter. Being exposed to the elements in an unheated garage will probably kill them.

Wonderful post about this castle and story about the family that lived there.

When u say about Helen spirit, i want to know, is Helen died at young age and how she died?

wow.. evntgh i live in batu gajah bt i nvr hrd bout tis n honestly, i don't evn knw d story bhind those great castle.. i'm amazed n ashamed 4 nt knowing d real story about kellie's castle.. n d ghost does exist!!
I went to the castle and it said she died at the age of six. There is a secret passage in the guest room, Kellie's room, the connection inbetween Helen and Anthony's room and one from the kitchen.
Ooh it's so scared to hear the story ..
We can go inside there???? I wanna go!! It sounds interesting!!!
According to this story, Helen was alive when the son, Anthony, was born, 11 years after her. And that she was with him on his trip when he died. And it says that Agnes packed her things and her children and moved back to Scotland. So... Helen didn't die at 6.
How can it be that the castle is haunted by the family when they were no longer in Malaya..The story says,Smith died during his tour in Lisbon while Agnes has returned to scotland with her children??that's impossible!!..those must be the spirit of Smith's workmen and their families who left behind...
yeah I watched the movie call Anna and King and the fact you tell is really terrifying me..

I saw a commercial the other day from a pizza franchise and was very surprised that they were admitting that their call center service was awful. They go on to say that customers should not call them, but instead, they should only order pizzas online. Many companies may not go to this extent, but they encourage their customers to contact them online, or visit them in person. They do this by creating helpful sites that offer catalogs, online discounts, FAQ's and forums. The reason, apparently, is the costs associated with a call center. There are people costs, hardware and software costs, training, etc. Offering alternatives to the call center is not bad business, in fact many times we would rather use self-service tools to order and obtain information anyway. But there are other times when we just want to speak to a live person about a specific question or concern.
Companies need to realize that this is an important channel, and an opportunity to differentiate their brand, and should use call center interactions as revenue generators rather than just a necessary evil. These same companies that direct customers to online self-service sites, spend millions of dollars each year to engage prospective and current customers and they are missing an opportunity with the call center. Utilizing the right call center solution, companies can efficiently provide informed interactions that can be very effective in closing a sale, offering alternatives when items are out of stock in a specific location, and up-selling additional products. The ability to talk to a live person will always have value. While I might take the discount on the pizza, I would rather have an informed agent when I have a question that cannot be answered online. Why not use the call center as a differentiator from competitors and offer informed interactions as an alternative to a discount. See how IBM's call center solution can help create informed omni-channel conversations http://www-01.ibm.com/software/commerce/order-management/call-center/

WASHINGTON -- Dr. Thomas J. Towberman has been named the new Director of the Federal Executive Institute (FEI) in Charlottesville, Virginia. One of three residential learning facilities operated by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), FEI has been training the Nation's top federal executives for over 30 years.
Dr. Towberman joined OPM in April 2002 to serve as Senior Advisor for Learning and Knowledge Management to OPM Director Kay Coles James. As the agency's chief learning officer, Towberman was responsible for coordinating OPM's training efforts across government to make certain that executives had the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the President's Management Agenda. He has been a leader in expanding access to training for the federal workforce, including the offering of coursework on the Internet. Towberman also began efforts to reinvigorate the Presidential Management Intern (PMI) program, making the program which provides individuals with graduate degrees the opportunity to serve their country in the civil service more contemporary and attractive to outstanding candidates.
"Dr. Towberman has tremendous vision and is a highly qualified member of our team at OPM. He is passionate about leadership development, and I am quite pleased he has accepted the challenging assignment of running the Federal Executive Institute," James said. "It is imperative that the federal government build its leadership pipeline, and the training provided through FEI is a vital component of our strategy. We will be counting on Tom to ensure that the Institute continues to offer the finest training in the Nation not only at the Charlottesville campus, but by offering custom and consulting services to Federal agencies at their sites."
In addition to ongoing executive training, FEI will provide staff support for the federal government's Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs), with one of Towberman's first assignments being be to help develop the CHCO Academy. FEI also will play an integral part in launching the new governmentwide Senior Executive Service Candidate Development Program (SES-CDP).
A recognized leader with over 30 years of experience, Towberman has created and directed high-performance organizations in both the public and private sectors. As Commissioner of Virginia's Employment Commission, he oversaw Virginia's workforce development, training and employment programs and was responsible for a budget of $600 million, 1,200 employees and a $1 billion unemployment insurance trust fund. Dr. Towberman also served under Virginia Governor George Allen as the Executive Director of the Commission on Government Reform.
Dr. Towberman has a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University and completed his undergraduate work at the University of Richmond. He was President of a Richmond-based management consulting firm and has served on the full-time graduate faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Tom Towberman is one of 20 new career Senior Executive Service (SES) members OPM is adding to its rolls following a global search for the best and the brightest candidates from within and outside of government. The new executives - selected in a 50-day application-to-hire timeframe - fill key vacancies in the new OPM team, building the agency's capacity to carry out critical missions and ensuring that OPM has the knowledge and skills needed to implement world-class personnel policy in accordance with the President's Management Agenda.
Our mission is to Recruit, Retain and Honor a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People. OPM supports U.S. agencies with personnel services and policy leadership including staffing tools, guidance on labor-management relations and programs to improve work force performance.

A charter bus driver who crashed into a low pedestrian bridge in the Washington Park Arboretum on Wednesday, sending two dozen students and others to the hospital, has been cited with a $154 infraction.
A charter-bus driver who crashed into a low pedestrian bridge in the Washington Park Arboretum on Wednesday, sending two dozen students and others to the hospital, told police he was following a GPS system and did not see a sign warning of the bridge height, police said today.
Brad Adams, the 52-year-old driver, received a traffic infraction for hitting a structure with an impaired clearance, according to a Seattle Municipal Court spokeswoman. The ticket carries a fine of up to $154, said Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson.
The 12-foot-tall charter bus operated by Lynnwood-based Journey Lines got stuck in the 9-foot underpass near the Highway 520 onramp shortly after 6 p.m., according to a Seattle police report.
Police said that the driver claimed he was following a GPS system on which route to take and did not see the yellow sign indicating the bridge height, police said.

"All of a sudden, you hear this scraping, awful noise," Sigrid Williams, 17, who had been on board, said on Wednesday night.
Williams said her head slammed into the seat in front of her when the bus crashed.
Steve Abegg, president of Journey Lines, didn't return telephone calls today. On Wednesday night he said that driving through the Arboretum is not a normal route for the company.
The driver said Wednesday that he has driven for the company for the past year and a half.
Twenty-one Garfield High School softball players and their coach were on board, Seattle School District spokeswoman Patti Spencer said this morning.
Five of the girls were taken immediately by ambulances to Harborview Medical Center with neck and back pain, according to the Seattle Fire Department.
"All of the students and the coach were treated at Harborview last night," Spencer said.
The students were given today and Friday off from their classes to recover from the incident, Spencer added. Sixteen students took today off from school, district officials said.
The team was returning from a game against Lake Washington High School at Crestwoods Park in Kirkland. Garfield lost the game 10-0. All practices and games for the next two weeks have been canceled so the players can recover from the crash, said district spokesman David Tucker.
Tucker said the district has contracted with Journey Lines for at least 15 years.
Seattle Department of Transportation crews inspected the footbridge today and found little damage, said agency spokesman Rick Sheridan. The bridge remains open.
"There is no structural damage. There is only minor damage to the concrete," Sheridan said.
When Journey Lines was last inspected by the state Utilities and Transportation Commission in February the company was issued a satisfactory rating, said agency spokeswoman Marilyn Meehan.
Two years ago the company was issued a $300 fine after parents chaperoning students from Lowell Elementary School, in Everett, reported smelling fumes while on their way to an event. The company was cited for failing to maintain bus floors and for safety issues — there was mold growing on bus and inoperative emergency lights on board.
The company, which has been in business for 16 years, had no accidents between 2006 and 2007, Meehan said.

Natural remedies for Anemia that are useful-
Sesame seeds and brown sugar should be taken regularly as they are rich in Iron.
Mix beetroot juice and apple juice in equal parts add brown sugar or honey to it and drink it.
Eat figs daily.
Avoid coffee and tea.
Drum Stick leaves are rich in Iron hence they can be used in Anemia. If leaves are not available take herbal supplements of the same.
Take Spinach juice or Grape juice daily.
Add 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder in plain yogurt and take it on empty stomach.
Higher intake of Vitamin B12 is also useful to treat Anemia.
Eat lots of green vegetables.
Try to include Iron rich food like brown rice, lentils, raisins, prunes, bread and pastas made from whole grain flour.
Take Indian gooseberry juice daily.
Mix powders of Turmeric and Tinospora is equal parts and take ½ teaspoon thrice daily with honey.
Take powder of Spirulina.
Do yoga regularly, if health permits.
If constipation occurs, take Triphala powder 1 teaspoon with warm water or take as supplements.
Soak Almonds in water over night, then peel of the skin of Almonds, make a paste of this and eat it.
As I mentioned earlier, in most chronic and severe cases of Anemia it is important to take advice of a medical professional. I hope the above natural remedies for Anemia and related problems help all people that are trying to address this condition.

The weekend-long hostilities between the Oakland A's and Baltimore Orioles reached a boiling point on Sunday afternoon after Manny Machado tossed his bat in the direction of Oakland A's third baseman Alberto Callaspo. The bat toss immediately followed a brush back pitch from A's reliever Fernando Abad that nearly struck Machado on the knee, and it incited a benches-clearing altercation that included some pushing and shoving, but no major physicality.
It could be played off as an innocent mistake. That Machado simply lost control of his bat on an awkward swing. That's what he claimed during comments after the game. However, it was pretty clear to those watching that Machado had intended to fire his bat, perhaps in the direction of Abad, after nearly being hit in the knee by the previous pitch. The Orioles home broadcast even acknowledged what appeared to be Machado's intent, and if MLB agrees, he could be looking at a lengthy suspension as a result.
Machado was ejected on the spot for his bat toss. Abad was also tossed for his role in escalating the tensions.
What got under the A's skin mostly on Sunday was the fact that a pair of Machado back swings earlier in the game struck catcher Derek Norris on the back of the head. The A's didn't necessarily feel like the swings were intentional, but they didn't appreciate that Machado never apologized to Norris or asked if he was okay.
This all follows another incident in Friday's series opener that involved Machado. On that night, Machado objected to what he perceived was an aggressive tag by Josh Donaldson and immediately tossed his helmet in Donaldson's direction, causing the benches to empty.
Later in the game, Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen brushed Donaldson off the plate with one pitch before drilling him on the arm with another. There were no further exchanges on Friday or Saturday, but obviously all of these things were filed away heading into Sunday, and with the Orioles finding themselves behind early in a game they eventually lost 11-1, that may have caused some frustrations to boil over.
That's not to put the entire issue on Baltimore's players or more specifically Machado, but he's the only player who was at the center of everything. It's causing people to look at him as a hot-tempered player who's unable to control his emotions in the heat of battle. It's difficult to argue against that based on his reaction Friday. Sunday may be a little different, however, considering Machado is coming off a major operation on his left knee in October. He only returned to Baltimore's lineup on May 1, and it's understandable that he would be sensitive about a pitch coming at his legs.
The fact that he's only 21, which is very young for a big league player, factors into it a little bit as well. He obviously has some maturing to do, as we all did at that age. But it really doesn't excuse putting players in harm's way by throwing a helmet or a bat. Maybe, hopefully, this will be a learning experience that helps him improve on keeping his emotions in check and keeping the game professional.

On an early morning hike nine days ago, we climbed steep hills south of San Francisco to enjoy stunning views both of San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Then we headed to the local Starbucks, in San Bruno, to round out our morning.
As we approached the forgettable strip mall, our host pointed to an office building next door — the headquarters of YouTube. The world-famous company, owned by Google, was barely noticeable in the suburban landscape of job-rich Silicon Valley.
It's hard to grasp the creative energy of this region where businesses can explode from garage startup to multibillion-dollar acquisition target almost overnight. Top-tier businesses can fade into the suburban landscape or sprawl in well-known enclaves like the Googleplex, a 3.5-million-square-foot office complex that houses one of the world's most successful companies.
Silicon Valley gained a stunning 47,000 new jobs last year, at a growth rate double the statewide average. The wealth of the area, encompassing Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, is staggering. Forty-five percent of households earned more than $100,000 annually in 2012, up by 6 percent from 2006, according to the Silicon Valley Index. Households earning less than $35,000 a year held almost steady at about 20 percent during those same years. Middle-income households declined from 40 percent to 35 percent of the total.
Stark comparison
By comparison, just 22 percent of Clark County households earn more than $100,000 a year. Almost half fall in the middle-income range, and 30 percent earn less than $35,000. Yes, you can live on far less here. Still, we have more poor, fewer in the middle class and far fewer rich families.
The trappings of Silicon Valley's wealth show in the area's fine shops and fine restaurants, its luxury cars and unimaginably expensive homes. But some who can't afford those pleasures move to other parts of a region that's becoming uncomfortably aware of its widening income disparities, or leave the region entirely.
We've been able to attract a few exiles from Silicon Valley, most notably Fisher Investments. Ken Fisher keeps his company headquarters in California, yet he's brought hundreds of jobs to Clark County, where his workers can more easily purchase homes, send their children to quality schools, and enjoy our outdoor amenities.
Mike Bomar, president of the Columbia River Economic Development Council, sees an opportunity for Clark County to compete for high-level workers looking for a healthy balance between personal and professional pursuits. But those workers are first drawn to Portland, he says, so Clark County sells itself as a part of the regional vibe of foodie culture, creativity, and outdoor recreation. That's not always a popular thought in a community where we tend to highlight our differences with Portland's quirkier features rather than our common economic destinies.
While few people wish for the over-the-top wealth of Silicon Valley and the problems it creates, we wouldn't mind if a few of that area's companies and high-energy workers headed our way.
Editor's note: This story was changed to correct the location of YouTube's headquarters.

How does WordPress Planet work - does it use the Planet software, or WordPress? If WordPress, what plugins does it use?
I want to set up a planet, but the Planet software is a bit daunting and I thought WordPress might be easier. I know there's a few aggregator plugins that might work, but knowing the exact plugins that are known to work on WordPress Planet would be extremely helpful.

At Stanardsville United Methodist Church we affirm our belief in the one living and true God in whom there are three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We witness to the presence of God's grace, God's unmerited favor toward us, revealed to us in God's Son Jesus Christ, and constantly at work in and through us in our daily lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe it is God's grace that first comes to us convincing us of our need for God. Through grace, once we have repented of our sins, we are forgiven and our relationship with God is reconciled and restored. This same grace continues to work in our lives drawing us ever closer into the very likeness of God in Jesus Christ and creating in us a strong faith relationship with him. Our salvation then is by God's grace through our faith in Jesus Christ.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit we seek to understand and communicate to others the love of God given to us in Jesus Christ. As we grow in understanding, we reflect critically on four guidelines in matters of our faith. First, we believe in the primacy of Scripture as necessary to our salvation and to the revelation of God. Second, we rely on our Christian traditions as authentic and faithful witness to the message of Scripture. In order to be effective in our witness to Scripture and the traditions of the church, we rely thirdly on our own Christian experience along with lastly our reason. We seek confirmation within our own experiences of the truth of God's grace, and we engage our God given minds as the practical source of reason for providing insight to the deeper meaning of our faith.

Charter proposals draw mixed reviews
Though two letters of intent have been submitted to the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board, citizens of Tunica County say they are still not certain how charter schools will improve education in the county, where the public school district is failing and the only other option is small fee-based, private Christian school Tunica Academy.
Tunica County Schools Superintendent Steve Chandler admitted he has a long way to go to get Tunica County schools on track but said he believes his plan will work if he's given the time needed to see it happen.

This just came to mind , a few years back they were advertizing a auto shift bicycle on TV the question is ,,,what happened to it? if anybody knows and did anyone here buy or own one?? just asking,,,,,
This just came to mind , a few years back they were advertizing a auto shift bicycle on TV the question is ,,,what happened to it? if anybody knows and did anyone here buy or own one?? just asking,,,,,
I saw those too, dismissed them pretty quick -- especially after curiosity moved me to search them and read a fistful of bad reviews. Poor shift-point selection, always in too low a gear, etc. When I looked closer at the bikes themselves, they're little more than the Walmart Next Avalon softail, MSRP $119. While THAT BSO is slightly better than the rest at or near the price, I wouldn't consider one until after I was about 75-y-o......
they never quite shift when you want them to.. and the parts QC is usually low grade.
Nu Vinci has the practical idea ..continuously variable ratio, the grip shifter is rotated till it feels right .
it does no more shift than the earth jumps from winter to summer.
They are low quality and hard to find parts for. Many bike shops here can't fix them. It's a lousy idea to start with.
They are a solution for which there is no problem.
"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
What happened to them is they went out of business. It didn't take that long either. Probably because as others have said, it was a bad implementation. I actually think it's a good idea for a small niche customer but the implementation of this idea was quite poor. Hard to sink money into a business when not many people are going to buy it.
Demented internet tail wagging imbicile.
Things like that come and go for a variety of reasons; poor execution, lack of repair parts, lack of market. Even the big boys miss the mark. Anybody remember the Shimano Coasting system? How about Shimano FFS (Front Freewheel System). I have examples of both in my collection. Neither one was around for very long. Shaft drive is another one that comes around every decade or so, then quietly goes away.

Automatic transmissions have become popular with cars because it's easy for a car to sense its engine load, speed, and figure out which gear is the most optimal. But a bicycle engine is the rider, and the rider knows best which gear to select, not the bike. I'd like to see a continuous variable transmission on bikes. That way, you can put out a constant force no matter the terrain.
when I saw the commercials I thought it was a good idea, I also knew i'd never own one thought they'd be expensive as hell! I did see one on one of the MS tour training rides ,It looked alright???
I've also had the opportunity to work professionally on a couple of Landrider bicycles. I couldn't see much benefit in them either.

"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
My older brother bought one a few years ago, and never rode it. Ever. I saw it in his storage shed with the cardboard tube wrappings still in place. He also bought the water bottle, light and pump kit. I asked if he'd like me to sell it for him.
So, last summer, I brought it home, cleaned and lubricated it, and rode it for about 8 miles. Upshifting is awkward and too early for my power band. Downshifting is clunky. There's a manual shifter for the front chainrings which are H and L range. The quality of the components is truly bottom range. The bike is heavy, too.
The only benefits that I could see would be:
(1) Relative ease of use for someone who finds the concept of shifting intimidating
(2) Comfort styling
The negatives:
(1) Made for low-wattage riders
(2) Heavy
I assembled all of the accessories, took good quality photos, and sold it within a week for $250, giving my brother the money. He lost about half on the original purchase, from which he received no benefit.
I would NEVER ride one, unless it came along with a beach rental or somesuch... PG
PS: I kept the neat (heavy) multitool, stamped LandRider, though. Hex wrenches and two screwdrivers.
Take the auto 4WD stuff for instance. It senses slip and applies the power to the back wheels for traction. It senses slip? Isn't the purpose of 4WD to eliminate slip? If it senses slip, slip has already happened. The auto 4WD vehicle is reacting to an even that has already happened. Give me a lever to pull a transfer case into 4WD when I as the driver can see it is slippery before my car slips please.
I despise automatic stuff in the car, I imagine I would really despise automatic stuff on a bike.

Looking Westward: Poetry, Landscape, and Politics in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Hardback • 2009 • $70.00
In Looking Westward, the author argues that a close study of the poetry, landscape, and politics of late thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Wales and the Welsh March is important to a fuller understanding of the Gawain -poet and his poem. Although the poem was likely composed in the northwest Midlands, little attention has been paid to the influences of the west: the Welsh alliterative poets and Henry Grosmont, the physical landscape of Wales and the March, and the political tensions that generated a historical beheading tradition, especially between 1265 and 1330, a tradition that gave way in the court of Edward III to the desire for a harmonious Camelot. This new literary, geographical, and historical perspective provides a better understanding of Sir Gawain and the virtues he embodies and acquires, and the relevance of these virtues in the turbulence of the poet's contemporary world.

I'm about to choke on a slice of humble pie. This Collection was a good one. There, I said it. It's the first time in I don't know how long that I really rather liked it, or more to the point, there was a lot
that was great and the rest was easily excused. My question is more, What Happened?
The collection was so nicely balanced between smart separates, well cut jackets , coats, shearlings and transparent raincoats with big , generous fur collars. The dresses, though nostalgic and little retro were lovely. It's like he went back to collections he's done before, plucked out looks that had great sentimental value and refined them. He said before the show that newness just isn't new anymore. That's news that should be added to his many tattoos that cover his newly minted bod. He's absolutely sort of right. So this collection came off as an effortless delivery, only the total picture for the most part just looked like good clothes and some of them really great.
I've been disappointed with his collections for a very long time. I've found little to excite me and have felt that he's a media/editorial/insider's construct. There's been precious little There there. His bouts with oversexposure, on again off again marriage announcements to his inamorato; all that smoke has made my eyes tear and my ears ring. I've been put off by too much press and not good enough product to take him seriously. One day not too many weeks ago I was meeting my friend for a yoga class at his gym and walked up to the front desk behind someone being helped. At first I thought it was a chic girl from behind with a boy's haircut, her Grandmother's vintage Persian Lamb coat and a gigantic Hermes Birkin as her gym bag. I thought, How impossibly chic is this? Then I heard a voice coming from this girl that was decidedly low, affected and male. I looked all the way down past the bare calves to laced up army boots and realized my mistake. It was HE. A sighting of the great, tattooed, man-tanned one, only dressed like an old lady. I turned to my friend and with my eyes asked him, WHAT? and he answered, mouthing the words, FASHION. The coat, the skirt, the PURSE, the fact. This kitten did his downward dog in a total daze. I won't even go into the locker room sighting, I'll leave that to your imaginations. I left that day with little faith that I would see much more than the usual stew that simmers in his pot.
Well, this collection is a gourmet meal. I've seen other reviews that have panned it, remarked on its pretensions and made a big deal of his decision to not invite celebs to man his front row. It all sounded like more BS, but there was a method to this madness at work and it paid off. I'll just share pictures of it with you and let you see for yourselves. You can draw your own conclusions. He even took his bow in a suit and tie. Who knew?

this is my first comment on your blog, but I so agree with everything you said;(not, of course, of seeing him from behind at the gym). The only problem is that I am one of the old ladies who would love many of these clothes, and that's what critics have been panning. His previous collections always seemed to me that he had taken a sudden dislike to women.

Severe cases of systemic scleroderma and Raynaud's (as well as other illnesses) may cause a total lack of blood supply to the extremities. When this happens, necrosis (death of tissue) and gangrene may set in, sometimes making it necessary to have the affected part(s) amputated.
Gangrene sets in more frequently among scleroderma patients who smoke or use caffeine, because such substances further constrict blood vessels.

EXCELLENT!The first Bill & Ted film features Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keanu Reeves) as two air-headed rocker kids from San Dimas, California. They're so focused on their wannabe rock band Wyld Stallyns (and so dumb) that they're in danger of failing History class and being held back. To make matters worse, Ted's authoritarian police chief father says that if that happens, Ted will be shipped off to a military academy in Alaska, breaking up the band.Things look bleak for the two until they meet Rufus (George Carlin), a time traveler from a utopian future built upon the teachings of Wyld Stallyns. Rufus offers them the use of his time machine — disguised as an ordinary phone booth — so they can do the research needed to pass their final assignment. When a brief trip to France causes Napoleon to follow them back to the present, Bill and Ted decide to stage the ultimate oral report by getting the historical figures themselves to present it. Over the course of the film they not only learn a lot about history from interacting with them but they even come to master the nuances and possibilities of time travel.
The first movie demonstrates these non-heinous tropes:
- All Psychology Is Freudian: Played straight, for obvious reasons. Notice that in almost every scene Freud appears in, he's holding some kind of phallic object—a cigar, a corndog, etc. And then there's Bill's attraction to his "Mom."
- Ancient Greece: It looks like the cover of the Led Zeppelin album "Houses of the Holy". (Allegedly.)
- It was also "most tranquil."
- And you'll never guess where it got the "like sands from the hour glass" expression.
- Aristocrats Are Evil: In this case, Royal Ugly Dudes Are Bogus
- Big Damn Heroes: When Bill and Ted are about to be executed in the medieval times, it turns out that Billy the Kid and Socrates switched places with the executioners, freeing the duo so they can make an escape.
- Big "Shut Up!":Ted: Now your Dad's getting it on in your own room!
Bill: Shut up, Ted.
Ted: Your stepmom is cute, though.
Bill: Shut up, Ted.
Ted: Hey, remember when I asked her to the prom?
Bill: SHUT UP, TED!
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Rufus addresses the audience directly at the start of the film to explain the situation, and again at the end to reassure us that Bill and Ted "do get better" vis-a-vis their terrible music skills.
- California Doubling: Strangely inverted. The first movie is set in California, but was filmed primarily in Phoenix.
- Calling Parents by Their Name: Bill keeps accidentally calling his step mom Missy before correcting himself (though the first time she corrects him).
- Catch-22 Dilemma: Played for Laughs at the beginning of the movie. Bill and Ted argue that they need a "triumphant" music video to get Eddie Van Halen to join their band, but also say the best way to get Eddie Van Halen is to make a music video.
- Chekhov's Gun: The keys that Ted's Dad lost at the beginning of the movie turns out to have been stolen by Ted who came back from the future after the movie.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Napoleon when he flubs a shot in bowling: he goes "Merde, merde, merde, merde!" (lit. "Shit, shit, shit, shit...!") practically nonstop.
- Still true in the TV edit: "Zut, zut, zut, zut!" (lit. "Damn, damn, damn, damn...!")
- Creator Cameo: Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, who created the characters and wrote the script, appear as the annoying waiters serving ice cream to Napoleon.
- Critical Psychoanalysis Failure: The police interrogator assigned to Sigmund Freud gets progressively more irritated as he talks to him. (One probably wouldn't go so far as to say he's going crazy,.)Policeman: What makes you think that you are Sigmund Freud?Sigmund Freud: What makes you think I'm not Sigmund Freud?Policeman [exasperated] Why do you keep asking me these questions?Sigmund Freud: [leans in closer] Tell me about your mother.
- Crystal Spires and Togas: Suggested, though not really shown.
- Department of Redundancy Department: This exchange, from the beginning of the movie.Bill: Ted, while I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant, the truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super band until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar.
Ted: Yes, Bill. But I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen until we have a triumphant video.
Bill: Ted, it's pointless to have a triumphant video before we even have decent instruments.
Ted: Well, how can we have decent instruments when we don't really even know how to play?
Bill: That is why we NEED Eddie Van Halen!
Ted: —And that is why we need a triumphant video!
(Both are puzzled, beat, air guitar)
- Eternal English: Averted with Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Socrates, Napoleon, and Genghis Khan being unable to speak a word of English.
- Justified in Socrates' case, since Bill & Ted would not have been able to understand Ancient Greek and the earliest form of the English language didn't exist until the 5th Century, some 8 centuries after Socrates' death.
- Invoked when they visit England 1501 and meet the Royal Princess Babes. While both sets of characters technically spoke English, you have sixteenth century Britons speaking to modern American valley-guys. While a handful of references and words were misunderstood on either side, in reality, they would sound like they were speaking in a bizarre Stage Irish accent — see Shakespeare in original pronunciation.
- Also, Joan of Arc's lines are in standard modern French, when she actually spoke the Limousin dialect which is somewhat different.
- Since Sigmund Freud is among the historical figures and Freud spoke fluent German and French, he would have been able to communicate with Beethoven, Joan and Napoleon easily (though Beethoven's deafness could have created some additional barriers). He also spoke Greek, which may have allowed at least some ability to speak to Ancient Greece native Socrates.
- Everything's Better with Princesses: In this case, Everything's Better With Royal English Babes:Bill: We gotta go. It's a history report, not a babe report.Ted: But, Bill, those... are historical babes.
- Exty Years from Now: Rufus dates the future scenes to 2688, just about 700 years after the movie came out.
- Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Ted's dad.
- Freudian Excuse: In-universe, invoked by Freud himself, as an explanation as to why Ted's dad is so harsh with discipline.
- The Full Name Adventures
- Funny Background Event: Billy the Kid left in charge of Bill and Ted's backpack while they sought out Socrates. When they were seeing the princesses, Billy and Socrates were debating on who should look after it, which degrades into a game of catch.
- In something of a Funny Foreground Event, Napoleon begins to sidle closer to Missy (likely intending to hit on her) in her car while Bill and Ted make their way back to it. Napoleon promptly pulls back when they appear beside the passenger's side window.
- Gay Moment: Bill and Ted hug after Ted turns out to have not been killed by that "medieval dickweed", then promptly let go and jokingly yell "Fag!" to one another.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar:
Ted: If we're you, and you're us... What number are we thinking of?Future Bill and Ted: 69, dudes!Bill and Ted: Whoa...[quadruple air guitar]
- When Freud is coming on to some girls, he tells them that they "seem to be suffering from a mild form of hysteria."
- Combined with God Test: Invoked when Bill and Ted challenge their future selves:
- Hammerspace: It seems to be a common ability here. Where did Billy the Kid get the lariat he used on Freud? Kind of hard to say. Another example, Genghis Khan enters the booth carrying only a club, which he later discards; in an even later scene, he has a pole-axe weapon, and no explanation where it came from. Also, Joan of Arc is somehow able to change out of her armor before she and the others are arrested, and then change back into it after the duo spring them, with no explanation of where she put it. Hammerspace is really the only explanation.
- Of course, there's also the booth itself. Not exactly something that could fit nine (and later ten) people easily, (although Ted did say they were "running out of room" when there were only nine.
- Historical-Domain Character: Including Abraham Lincoln, Ludwig van Beethoven, Billy The Kid, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, Napoleon Bonaparte, Sigmund Freud, So-crates...
- Hollywood History: Consciously and unashamedly.
- Hypocritical Humor: When Bill and Ted get drafted into Billy the Kid's poker game, Bill gently admonishes Ted to "have a poker face, like me". Not ten seconds later he looks at his cards and exclaims "Woah, three Aces, dude!"
- Which is also Hilarious in Hindsight as this is being said to Ted, played by Keanu Reeves before he got his reputation for being rather stone-faced and bland in his roles.
- Improbable Weapon User: Genghis Khan is impressed by the military potential of modern sporting equipment. He dons some football armor, arms himself with an aluminum baseball bat, and charges off on a skateboard.
- Informed Ability: Played for laughs. Bill and Ted are supposed to be the greatest musicians of all time. They stink.
- Lampshaded by Rufus - Who pulls off a stunning solo and then assures us in a fourth-wall breaking moment that they do get better as Bill and Ted make horrific noise whilst their new girlfriends from the past awkwardly test their own instruments.
- I Owe You My Life: Billy the Kid, who later returns the favor.
- It Makes Sense in Context: It happens at least twice in the film. The first one is Rufus' claim that these two dumb kids will be important in the future that ends with, "Don't worry, it'll all make sense. I'm a professional." Second time is when Bill and Ted meet themselves in past after we already saw this encounter and Ted notes, "That conversation made more sense this time."
- It's Been Done: Amusingly Double Subverted in the film's production. The time machine was originally going to be a 1969 Chevrolet van, but when they realized the similarities to another science fiction film, they decided to change it... to a phone booth.
- Like a Duck Takes to Water:
- Most of the historical people adapt pretty quickly to the twentieth century, such as Beethoven mastering electronic synthesizers.
- Billy the Kid picks up the intricacies of time travel pretty quickly, for which the boys praise him when they arrive in ancient Greece.
- A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll"
- Logic Bomb: Wyld Stallyns won't be a good band until they have Eddie Van Halen, and they won't have Eddie Van Halen until they have a triumphant music video, and they won't have a triumphant music video until they have good instruments, and they won't have good instruments until they know how to play, and they won't know how to play until they have Eddie Van Halen...
- Man Hug: See Gay Moment, above.
- May-December Romance: Missy and Bill's father.
- Mega Meal Challenge: Apparently an ice cream dish called the Ziggy Pig is one of these. After Napoleon Bonaparte finishes it, the garishly dressed employees make pig noises and give him a sticker.
- He apparently is proud of this "decoration," because he wears it prominently alongside his medals for the rest of the movie.
- The Middle Ages: Briefly.
- Mistaken for Profound: Socrates mistakes song lyrics for wisdom.
- Justified In-Universe, what with the whole "Rock-n-Roll Utopia" theme.
- Morton's Fork: Said Billy the Kid before a poker match, "What I win, I keep; What you win, I keep."Bill and Ted: Sounds good, Mr. The Kid!
- My Future Self and Me: As below, the future boys stop in the recent past to give themselves a pep talk, including the line from Future Ted, in response to Ted's, "No way!": "Yes way, Ted!"
- Never the Selves Shall Meet: Defied. Hell, them encountering their future selves near the start of the film is actually a plot point in advance.
- The Not-So-Harmless Punishment: The guys enthusiastically embrace the King's order to "put them in the Iron Maiden" with a positive "EXCELLENT!"King: Execute them!Bill and Ted: BOGUS!
- The Power of Rock: The music of Wyld Stallyns ushers in a worldwide golden age of peace, harmony, and awesomeness.Rufus: San Dimas, California, 2688. And I'm telling you, it's great here. The air is clean, the water's clean... even the dirt, is clean. Bowling averages are way up, mini-golf scores are way down. And we have more excellent water slides than any other planet we communicate with.
- Reality Is Unrealistic: Bill and Ted, obviously teenagers, are given whiskey at the Old West Saloon. Ted lampshades this. At that time, pretty much anyone older than ten could drink, especially out in the outer regions like New Mexico Territory. However, a bartender most certainly would never give the whiskey to two strangers without getting his money first.
- Billy turns over the table and starts a fight rather quickly, just after the other guys suspect he's cheating. In The Old West, being accused of cheating was a very grave accusation. It could lead to you getting shot, or at least beat up.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Bill lapses into one when he thinks a medieval dude killed Ted.
- Shout-Out: Numerous references to 80s culture.
Ted: I'm Darth Ted!Bill: Oh, yeah? Well, I'm Luke Bill, and you're not my father! You!
- Bill and Ted dress up in knightly armor and swordfight to mock lightsaber noises.
- After they tell Socrates that "All we are is dust in the wind, dude", he quotes the tagline for Days of Our Lives.
- Bill also says, "Let's reach out and touch someone" before they use the booth for the first time, an old slogan for Bell System Phone Company.
- Although it seems like the time travelling phone booth is a MASSIVE shout out to Doctor Who, it is actually just a coincidence. (See It's Been Done above)
- Single Precept Religion: The (future) Church of Bill and Ted has but one single commandment "Be excellent to each other and party on, dudes."
- Stable Time Loop:
- If Wyld Stallyns would have broken up without Rufus' intervention, how did his timeline come into existence in the first place?
- Rufus never divulges his name. Bill and Ted learn it from their future selves. Maybe it was in that phonebook?
- Stockholm Syndrome: Seriously. None of the historic figures seem to mind being abducted by two nutty teenagers. (Freud objects at first, but he gets over it quickly. Long story short, it's a weird movie.)
- Stylistic Suck: Bill and Ted's guitar skills.Rufus (to viewers): They do get better...
- Tagline: "History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell."
- Those Two Guys: Besides the titular characters, Socrates and Billy the Kid kind of develop into this. (Who also qualify as a Fat and Skinny pair.)
- Timey-Wimey Ball: Parodied like everything else. Okay, the boys have to leave on their journey, but their time moves at the same pace as them so they can't just spend comparatively weeks worth of preparation using time travel when they have to accomplish their history report by the next day. And when they are in a jam trying to get that accomplished, they figured that they could use the time booth to manipulate things to their advantage now, which they would have to recreate after they finished their history report... And it works.
- Title Drop: Abraham Lincoln refers to Bill and Ted bringing them on "a most excellent adventure."
- Earlier at the Circle K, Future!Ted tells Present!Ted that they're about to "embark on an excellent adventure through time."
- Totally Radical: Tongue-in-cheek about it, and subverted in that it actually caught on.
- Visual Pun: When Sigmund Freud is trying to chat up the girls at the mall and being shot down in the process, you can see the corndog he's holding go from being 'erect' at the beginning of the conversation to being 'limp' at the end.
- Genius Bonus: It's frikkin' Freud using a penis standin.
- Weirdness Search and Rescue: Rufus gave Bill and Ted the time machine, showed them how to use it, and tended to turn up for advice when the boys found themselves in trouble. He was from the future of prosperity, peace, and excellence that they ushered in, and had a vested interest in helping them because without them his future would not exist.
- The Wild West
- Ye Goode Olde Days: Our heroes travel to — and pick up hitchhikers from — ancient Greece, ancient Mongolia, and medieval Europe (among other eras), yet any and all unpleasant hygienic issues are ignored.
- You Already Changed the Past: One of the signs that Bill and Ted are clever if not book smart is their recognition of this trope; they realize that to solve a problem in the present, they can use their time machine to plant helpful items in the past, and then they'll be there for their present selves to discover - and they keep reminding each other "Once this is over, we have to go back and place all that stuff!"

The recent terrorist attacks in Paris have again brought to the forefront discussions about problems of culture faced by both Europe and the United States. The attacks have complicated western responses to the Syrian refugee crisis, with concerns about the stated intentions of groups like ISIS to smuggle operatives into western nations among the legitimate refugees in order to carry out terror operations. And of course, the questions of the compatibility of Islam with western political and economic values, as well as questions about the will of western nations to defend and uphold those values have returned as well. Acton's Director of Research Samuel Gregg joined host Al Kresta last Tuesday on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta in the Afternoon to discuss these important issues; you can listen to the full interview via the audio player below, and be sure to check out Sam's article "The End of Europe" at Public Discourse.
The pontificate of Pope Francis has inspired a great deal of discussion and analysis from the very beginning, and the discussion has only grown with the releases of Evangelii Gaudium and Laudeto Si', his pastoral letter and first encyclical, respectively. Often that discussion becomes heated, and even angry, as various political or social factions attempt to claim Pope Francis as an advocate for their cause. From time to time it's helpful to step back and have a calm, rational discussion about the Pope, and there are few more qualified to engage in such a discussion than Al Kresta and Acton Institue Director of Research Samuel Gregg. Sam joined Al on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta In The Afternoon on Tuesday to provide some context and analysis for Pope Francis' visit to the United States, and also provides some solid guidelines on what types of issues faithful catholics must assent to church teaching on, and other types of issues that allow for a wide range of prudential debate.
It's our pleasure to share this interview with you via the audio player below.
Acton Institute Director of Research Samuel Gregg joined Al Kresta on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta in the Afternoon on Tuesday to discuss the interesting public relations dilemma of Pope Francis: on the one hand, it is alleged that faithful Catholics may be "checking out" of his papacy due to his perceived liberalism on economic and social issues. On the other hand, the honeymoon period that Francis enjoyed with the media and left-leaning Catholics may be coming to an end as it becomes apparent that he will not be making major changes to longstanding teachings of the Catholic Church.
To listen to the full interview, use the audio player below.
Samuel Gregg, Director of Research at the Acton Institute, joins host Al Kresta on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta in the Afternoon to discuss the level of discomfort that some conservative Catholics have felt in recent months with the pontificate of Pope Francis. Is the pope a liberal, as he is sometimes portrayed by the media? Does he hold to longstanding teachings of the Catholic Church? Gregg and Kresta address these and other issues, and take calls from listeners in this half-hour long interview.
Acton Institute Director of Research Samuel Gregg has a busy calendar of media appearances these days; late last week, he joined host Sheila Liaugminas on Relevant Radio's A Closer Look for a full broadcast hour to discuss the upcoming year in politics and wider society. That interview is available for your listening enjoyment via the audio player below. He'll also be appearing this afternoon during the five o'clock hour on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta in the Afternoon; streaming audio will be available at that link.
Elise Hilton has been writing a good deal lately about our manufactured border crisis, and last week Al Kresta, host of Kresta in the Afternoon on the Ave Maria Radio Network, asked Elise to join him on his show to discuss the human tide currently engulfing the southern border of the United States. They discuss the response – or lack thereof – of the Obama Administration to the crisis, the underlying causes of the problem, and how the failures of the US government to address this problem are playing into the hands of human traffickers. The interview is available via the player below.
Continuing our roundup of Acton comment on Evangelii Gaudium, here's Acton's Director of Research and Author of Tea Party Catholic Samuel Gregg joining host Al Kresta on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta in the Afternoon to discuss Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation, with particular emphasis on its economic elements. This interview took place on Monday, December 2nd.

People need to stop being haterz when it comes to 5th generation pokemon.
The variety of styles makes it great for everyone. IF you like elegant, tough, weird, cute, ugly, regal, sinister, or any combination of these styles, there is a Pokemon for you in this generation.
I also like the new and unique typing of pokemon, with the exception of the poor representation of poison types, and even maybe the fire types.
I am picky about my Pokemons' appearances, but these are the ones that appeal to me, and therefore, I can use during the game:
I should also note that this generation contains the most Pokemon that I find to be appealing enough to be on my team. This is by far the best generation of Pokemon!!!
