Natural objects
| The subject of this article has no official English name.
The name currently in use is a fan translation of the Japanese name.
Natural objects (Japanese: 自然物 natural objects) are a game mechanic in Pokémon X and Y. In many areas, it is possible for a natural object to appear behind an opponent in a wild or Trainer battle. These objects can be hit by certain moves that can target multiple Pokémon. If the object is hit, it will break or drop Berries and remain in that state until the end of the battle, when the player will pick up an item in the aftermath of the battle.
If a natural object can appear in an area, a platform will be visible behind the opponent. Natural objects will appear on this platform, with only one appearing at a time in any battle. Natural objects cannot appear while surfing, but they may appear while fishing so long as the player is not surfing.
Most areas where natural objects can appear have three objects that may appear. In these areas, natural objects will appear approximately 50% of the time. In areas where less than three natural objects can appear, natural objects will appear proportionally less often.
If a move does not hit at least one Pokémon, it cannot destroy a natural object. Also, if a terrain move is in effect, natural objects will temporarily disappear and will not be able to be affected for the interim.
If the player loses, runs from the battle, or catches a Pokémon, they will not be able to pick up an item from any broken natural object.
List of natural objects
Location sets
Every location where natural objects may appear is classified as a certain type of area. Certain locations (such as Route 18) may be divided into two different areas where different natural objects may appear. Every natural object only appears in one type of area.
A common natural object has approximately a 20% chance of appearing in a battle, while a rare natural object has a 10% chance of appearing. This means that in areas with the maximum of three natural objects, there is a 50% chance of finding no natural object in a battle. If an area has less than three natural objects, that chance goes up correspondingly.

1820 Cemetary in Avonmore
Posted in the Spring Church Forum
1 - 17 of 17 Comments Last updated Jun 2, 2013
#1 Aug 3, 2009
We are descendents of Ulam/Townsend family, with graves on private farmland in town of Avonmore. We'd like to visit in early October. How do we get permission to enter property? Does Avonmore still have a historical society?
Thanks..Oakland, CA
#2 Aug 5, 2009
I think there is an Avonmore Community Association web site, there may be some contact info there. There used to be an historical society. If I remember correctly the cemetary shows up on a USGS quad map.
Went up there as a kid, I really doubt the property owner(s) would mind someone visiting.
If you have problems figuring things out repost and I wil try to help you.
#3 Aug 5, 2009
Thank you for offering to help!
My father is 87 and lives in Southern California.
He is Frederick Ulam, raised in Pittsburgh. We are coming to Pittsburgh early October and I would like to take him to the old family cemetary. At one time it was on property owned by the Clines. We visited in 1996 and had to walk in. My dad is an amputee, and I would like to be able to drive in. I think there are metal posts blocking the place. I think the entry is a 5th street.
#4 Sep 13, 2009
We think the property you refer to is now owned by the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County. You may want to contact them.
#5 Sep 13, 2009
I can take you there...2 places that I kmow of
#6 Sep 13, 2009
He will never make it to the one in Avonmore. The one located atop Edmon....maybe
#7 Sep 14, 2009
Actually, we made it. Contacted the owners,
who kindly mowed the path up the hill.
Thank you for all your suggestions..
Since: Nov 09
#8 Nov 6, 2009
Congratulations Martha. I used to run from my house by the pump station and through the old graveyard. As I remember it without the help of the owners you would have had a big challenge in getting your father to the site. Anybody remember hearing about Chop Chop Charlie?
#9 Nov 6, 2009
Who was "Chop Chop Charlie?" Also, is there another way into the cemetary from 5th street?
#10 Nov 6, 2009
good luck
#11 Nov 9, 2009
Haven't been there in years, Curious if the gravestones can still be read

Yes, you can read the stones. I hope this 200 year old cemetary, with my ancestors, doesn't just disintegrate...

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals safety Yeremiah Bell: San Francisco's 89-yard TD drive 'a slap in the face'
The Arizona Cardinals can place a lot of the blame on self-inflicted offensive wounds for their 32-20 loss in San Francisco Sunday, but Todd Bowles' unit knows its not immune from criticism either.
Despite allowing 171 yards receiving to San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis in the first half of Sunday's contest, Arizona's defense managed to hold rather steady for the first three quarters at Candlestick Park.
However when the team needed a big late-game stand, it never came.
Following a Larry Fitzgerald fumble near the end of the third quarter, San Francisco found itself up by two with the ball at their own 11-yard line. But despite the terrible field position, the 49ers looked like they were in total control of the contest, as they pounded the ball at will down the stretch.
Over the next nine minutes and 32 seconds, Greg Roman called 18 plays spanning 89 yards. Of those 18 plays, 12 took place on the ground, including Kendall Hunter's backbreaking six-yard trot into the end zone. On the touchdown drive, San Francisco amassed 53 rushing yards — a statistic that didn't sit well with the Cardinals after the game.
"I mean all day we played great against the run," Yeremiah Bell said. "In that fourth quarter, I guess they found something, because they ran the same play seven or eight times in a row to move the ball on us.
"That's kind of a slap in the face to our defense. We know we are better than that. We showed it for the first three quarters but in the fourth quarter we just didn't get it done.'
In the loss, Arizona allowed season-highs in team rushing yards (149) and rushing yards by a single back (Frank Gore, 101).
"For the first time all season, we gave up some runs," Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said. "Defensively, we needed a stop right there [to start the fourth quarter], and they went down and made the plays."

Veterans fast vanishing from halls of CongressBreaking News
tags: Congress, Vetrans
Only 20 percent of today's lawmakers have served in the military, the lowest rate since World War II and a dramatic fall from over 70 percent in the 1970s.
And that figure could sink even lower after this fall's midterms.
In this year's congressional primaries, the number of veterans winning party nominations has fallen strikingly compared with the 2012 cycle, according to research from the Veterans Campaign, an organization that helps former soldiers run for office.
"The numbers are down significantly," said Seth Lynn, executive director of the Veterans Campaign. "I think there was a pretty big push before, when the wars were a bigger issue in elections, to have veterans running, especially among Democrats. … And that may not be as big of a deal anymore."
