Best Buy's 'Shocking' Holiday Sales Send Shares Plummeting
Best Buy apparently isn't such a hot buy anymore.
Shares of the electronics retailer are getting pummeled in premarket trading, after Best Buy released holiday sales figures that were well below Street estimates. The report is the latest in a long string of retail chains to report disappointing sales for what appears to have been a weak holiday season.
UPDATE: Best Buy shares dropped 31% to $25.78 in early trading. The stock traded more than four times its average daily volume 15 minutes after the opening bell.
Best Buy shares have been on a roller coaster ride for some time now. After rising as high as $48 in 2010, shares plunged to $11.29 at the end of 2012. Over 2013, though, the company's stock rebounded sharply as it implemented a well-received turnaround plan. It was the S&P 500′s second-best performing stock, up more than 200% and trailing only Netflix
That, apparently, is just providing a higher point from which investors are jumping.
The plan, well-received or not, could do only so much to alleviate the reality on the storeroom floor. Retailers from Sears Holdings to Macy's to J.C. Penney to Wal-Mart Stores are all feeling pressure from weak consumer demand. After rival Circuit City went out of business in 2008, Best Buy saw an upswing in its business. In 2011, its sales peaked at $50.7 billion, and earnings were $3.64 a share. But the changing marketplace is hurting the business. For 2013, the company is expected to earn $2.46 a share on sales of $43 billion.
This morning's warning may send a few analysts back to their spreadsheets to rejigger those numbers.
CEO Hubert Joly tried to put a brave face on things during this morning's conference call. He noted the company saw market-share gains "across the board," but acknowledged that mark-downs didn't help anybody in the industry, and the slide in the electronics market was a "big surprise."
"This management team is not shaken by this bump," he said. "One of my middle names is frugality." On that front, CFO Sharon McCollam said the company's $725 million cost-cutting target is likely to get "much bigger."
It's hard to know how well that will mollify investors and analysts.
Best Buy's warning "to put it mildly, it's on the shocking side," wrote Belus Capital Advisors' Brian Sozzi, who rates the stock a buy ($45 price target). This warning will likely reset expectations, and he predicts the company will have to be more aggressive on pricing in 2014; in other words, more price slashing that puts more pressure on margins. "Best Buy's calendar 2014 initial guidance could be well below current consensus forecasts," he said.
"It just seems that the promotions did not drive incremental sales, that opening on Thanksgiving just added costs, and did not provide any incremental sales," Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser wrote. He noted that there is "pain out there" for other consumer electronics retailers, and there's potential to make money after this selloff, "but we have to make sure that the category can perform this year."

RICHMOND, Ky. – A late 16-5 run was enough to send the Eastern Kentucky University's men's basketball team past a hot shooting Southern Illinois Edwardsville squad, 78-72, on Saturday at McBrayer Arena.
Despite shooting 60 percent for the game, the Cougars (4-8, 0-2 OVC) led for only 17 seconds over the final 37 minutes of the contest. The Colonels (12-3, 2-0 OVC) led by as many as 11 three times early in the second half and were in front by 10, 56-46, after a lay-up and free throw by Corey Walden with 11 minutes remaining.
SIUE answered with a 14-2 run. Jerome Jones and Kris Davis each hit three-pointers during the spurt and each accounted for five points. A lay-up by Michael Messer capped the run and put the visitors in front by two, 60-58, with 7:19 showing on the clock. Seventeen seconds later Walden hit two free throws that would start the game-clinching run.
After Walden's two from the charity stripe, Mike DiNunno nailed a three-pointer. Messer answered with a three to tie it for the seventh and final time. Orlando Williams scored four straight and EKU led the rest of the way. Lay-ups by Jeff Johnson and Glenn Cosey, and a tip-in off an offensive rebound by Marcus Lewis wrapped up the 16-5 run and put the Colonels in front 74-65 with 43 seconds to play.
Eastern converted all four of its free throws in the final 30 seconds and finished the game 19-of-21 (90.5 percent) from the stripe.
DiNunno led four players in double figures for EKU with 17 points. Walden finished with 16 points, four assists and four rebounds. Eric Stutz went 4-for-5 from the field and 5-for-5 from the free throw line for 13 points. Williams finished with 12 points.
Jones led the Cougars with 15 points. Mark Yelovich added 14 points and a game-best seven rebounds.
SIU made 27-of-45 from the field for 60 percent, including 7-of-13 (54 percent) from behind the three-point line. Eastern Kentucky connected on 26-of-56 for 46 percent and made just 7-of-25 (28 percent) from deep. However, the Colonels out-scored the Cougars by eight at the free throw line and committed nine fewer turnovers.
Eastern will return to action on Wednesday at Murray State. Both teams are 2-0 in conference play. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.

Same gearbox as the others with a polymer free float rail(with ladder rails included), Quick detach capable flash hider, and mix of tan and black to break up the guns colors all with a cool new styled 120rd m4 mid cap mag. If your looking for a beast on the field that just wont quit, look no further! The combat machines(any model) are always my go to recommendation for the guys who want more but don't want to venture to the high grade market yet.
My recommendations for this gun.
1.Valken battery and smart charger power pack listed above
2.Elite force bio .25's listed above
3.ECHO 1 Low Profile Vertical Foregrip found in the accessories category
4.UTG 3.9 Inch ITA Quick Detach Red/Green Dot Sight found in the accessories category
5. Spare mags, I use the Spare 140 rd Umarex/Ares Elite Force M4/M16 Series Mid Cap Magazine Dark Earth mags, but if high caps are your thing I would go with the Spare 300 rd Ares M4/M16 Series High Capacity Magazine (FDE)
Hope this helps!
- Awesome start up gunThis gun has been nothing but awesome for the year and 4 months I've owned this gun. Been thru over 55k bbs and its still kicking as if I just got it yesterday. Its great for if you are starting up and getting into the hobby/sport. I'd suggest though replace the piston with either a half rake or full metal rake teeth that way the ware and tear on it would last longer than just full poly.
Great starter
Great quality
Not really much for me been nothing but great to me
- Very great gun!I saw the gun on the shelf at the store and I knew that was the one and it was! The gun has good accuracy and the rate of fire is fast! I love the stock to the gun it's comfortable and the iron sights it comes with are nice i like the triangular part to it. I'm not 100% new to airsoft but have started doing aisoft for about a year but before I bought gun I only had a pretty bad spring gun and a gas pistol
(Cybergun/KWC Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Gen 2 CO2 Non Blow Back Softair Pistol Black)
I bought this at Dicks sporting goods before I even knew this place existed but now that I know it exists It's where i wanna buy all my stuff at. But back to the real point the CM18 is a good gun I recommend this gun for beginners.

Lighting has come a long way in the last 15 years, but the basic requirements for backpacking are still the same. You need a source of light that is reliable, waterproof, light weight, and long lasting. Having one that does not accidentally turn on in your pack is also a plus. Bulb type also needs to be considered. Halogen will give you more light, but LEDs will last much longer.
Bill's ChoiceMy primary light source has become a headlamp, but I do still carry at least one flashlight in my pack, just in case. The only light I carry is a Mini Mag. These things are inexpensive, run on two AA batteries, carry an extra bulb, are waterproof, and very reliable. I do not buy anything else. The 3D + 2AA combo pack makes a great present as well. One for the car, one for the pack.Note that the 3D does NOT go in the pack, especially when backpacking!

'Too cold'
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 7:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 7:30 a.m.
Dave Pelott gave up the warm life in Florida to be with his sweetheart in Hendersonville following her eye surgery. Ahhh! "She needed someone to be here to put drops in her eyes," he explains. But the recent below-freezing temperatures make him anxious to burn rubber back to Florida. "I agreed to stay and help, but I'm starting to wish I was back in Florida," he says. "It's too cold here. We had a low temperature of 25 degrees the other morning." His sweetheart laughs, saying it takes him 20 minutes to get dressed in the mornings, and it's no wonder. "I wear two pairs of socks, two shirts, two pairs of pants, and even in the house I wear a flannel shirt or a sweatshirt," he says. "She's my sweetheart, but her last visit to the doctor is Jan. 15, and on Jan. 16 I'm heading back to where it's warm. I mean, 25 degrees sounds like something for the freezer."
SAYS CHRIS BURLESON of Columbus: "Hooray for Michigan's govenor for signing the right-to-work bill into law. I knew he would do the right thing. No one wants to be forced to pay union dues."
'LIFE IS GOOD': Toni Rhegness has a contagious smile as she proclaims, "Life is good." Question the Edneyville resident, and she's likely to tell you, "Consider the alternative." She was caught up in the holiday spirit, for sure, and wishes everyone happy times. "I'm hoping for peace on Earth," she says. "You know, we're a fractious species, and we all need to be tolerant of others even when they don't deserve it."
LET'S CRUISE: Your Mountains to Molehills columnist invites folks to join us when we return to New England and Canada next fall for a longer cruise adventure that again promises round-the-clock excitement. This is territory you could visit a hundred times and still not see it all. We have limited space available on Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas, which will depart from Baltimore, Md., on Oct. 17 for an eight-day cruise that will take us to Halifax and Saint John in Canada; Portland, Maine; and Maine's Bar Harbor. Want to go? You can pick up a reservation form and itinerary either at the Times-News on Four Seasons Boulevard or by calling our travel agent at 336-794-3233.
'GUESS WHO?': A husband was tired of being bossed around by his wife, so he went to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and he gave the husband a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home. He had finished the book by the time he reached his house. The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?" With no hesitation, the wife answered, "The funeral director."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Beginning Jan. 10, the Milliken Art Gallery at Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C., will host an exhibition of furniture and craft from three Western North Carolina artists. The "Brothers: Non-Blood Kin" exhibition will feature pieces from Asheville artists Brent Skidmore, Dustin Farnsworth and Timothy Maddox. The exhibition will be available to view through Feb. 7. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. On Feb. 7, beginning at 6 p.m. in the gallery, a talk with the artists will include discussions of their bond, their careers and their visions. The talk will be followed by a reception at 6:30 p.m. The exhibit and events are free.

About the Book
"Miranda Weiss's Tide, Feather, Snow is beautifully poetic, her observations are expansive, and the pace and rhythm in which she writes are perfect." — Lynne Cox, author of Grayson and Swimming to Antarctica
"Tide, Feather, Snow is about the resplendence and subtleties of coastal Alaska, and about one woman's attempt to be fully present in them. Weiss serves as a skilled and poetic witness to a place undergoing incessant change." — Anthony Doerr, author of The Shell Collector
A memoir of moving to Alaska—and staying—by a writer whose gift for writing about place and natural beauty is reminiscent of John McPhee (Coming into the Country) and Jonathan Raban (Passage to Juneau).
An extreme landscape in both its beauty and challenges, Alaska is a place where know-how is currency and a novice's mistakes can be fatal. But it is a place for glorious reinvention—a refuge for those desperate to escape . . . and for those looking for something more.
Miranda Weiss, a young woman who grew up landlocked in a well-kept East Coast suburb, moved to Homer, Alaska, with her boyfriend, determined to make a place for herself in this unfamiliar country where the years are marked by seasons of fish, and where locals carry around the knowledge of tides, boats, and weather as ballast. In Tide, Feather, Snow, Weiss introduces readers to the memorable people and peculiar beauty of Alaska's vast landscape, as she takes us along on her remarkable personal journey of adventure, physical challenge, and culture clash.

Critical Praise
"Humbly sends its roots down into the soil of the Kenai Peninsula. . . . [Weiss] deftly spins her quiet narratives out of the smallest details and anecdotes, and spices them with the richness of texture seldom seen in non-fiction." — Krestia DeGeorge, Anchorage Press
"Tide, Feather, Snow is a lovely, feathery book indeed—a labor of love and a pleasure to read." — Edward Hoagland, author of Notes from the Century Before
"Tide, Feather, Snow is about the resplendence and subtleties of coastal Alaska, and about one woman's attempt to be fully present in them. Weiss serves as a skilled and poetic witness to a place undergoing incessant change." — Anthony Doerr, author of The Shell Collector

After falling into an early hole, the Neosho Lady Wildcats came alive in the second quarter and never looked back as they downed Joplin, 58-39, on Tuesday at Missouri Southern State University.
It certainly wasn't the start the Lady Wildcats had hoped for when Joplin grabbed a 9-2 lead right out of the gate. Perhaps the jolt awakened Neosho a bit, however, as the Lady Wildcats closed the first quarter on a 7-0 run to tie it 9-9.
That run certainly turned the tide, as the Lady Wildcats outscored Joplin 18-7 in the second quarter and never trailed again.
"We got off to a slow start," Lady Wildcats coach Lance Robbins said. "Once we got settled in and started taking better care of the basketball, we got on a run. We came out in the second half and continued to play well, had some kids step up and hit some big jumpers. We're getting closer to where we want to be."
The Lady Wildcats did most of their heavy lifting inside as Morgan Rogers and Chelsey Henry both had strong games inside the paint. Rogers led the team with 20 points and Henry added 16. Also scoring was Brooke Stauffer and Emily Harrell with six points each, Skyelar Long and Addi Long with four each and Sydney Linny with two.
Depite spending most of the first half in foul trouble, Joplin's Bailey Taylor scored all 14 of her points in the second half to lead the team. Marissa Queen, Kelsey Johnson and Sam Stout scored six each, while Naomi Alexander turned in five and Lexy Sohosky added two.
Neosho (2-0) is at Marshfield at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Neosho also won the B game, 41-25. Skyelar Long and Linny paced Neosho's offense with 14 and 13 points, respectively.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
The splashdown and recovery of Apollo 11 on 24 July 1969 was a historic event, which fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's national goal of placing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth by the end of the 1960s. This book tells the dramatic story of the USS Hornet's recovery of the astronauts after the splashdown of their command module. This detailed account draws not only on historical records but also on the memories of eighty men who served aboard the Hornet and participated in the recovery operation, including Navy UDT frogman John M. Wolfram, who was the first to reach the Apollo II astronauts. Their inside account offers deck-level perspectives of events and includes details never before documented for the public. Their stories reveal that although the recovery operation looked easy and uneventful, there were many problems to overcome. For example, a machinist's mate had to repair a broken propeller shaft while the ship was underway so the Hornet could reach the point of splashdown on time; storms forced the ship to navigate by dead reckoning placing it miles away from its destination just minutes before Apollo came down; and a HS-4 helicopter narrowly avoided colliding with the command module due to heavy cloud cover. Yet, according to the author, the VIPs on the Hornet never suspected anything amiss.

Winning, like time, heals all wounds.
Eddie DeBartolo and his sister Denise DeBartolo York publicly expressed love for each other Sunday following the victory that put the 49ers in the Super Bowl. The sibling relationship, strained in 2000 by the legal problems that forced DeBartolo to cede control of the team to his sister, didn't seem especially warm and fuzzy during the nationally televised trophy presentation after the 49ers' 28-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
But the words were there.
"We have been through this thick and then," DeBartolo York said after her brother had accepted the trophy and declared his love for all involved. "The dynasty will prevail."
DeBartolo, 66, was designated as an honorary captain for the game, but his front-and-center presence at the trophy presentation came as a surprise. For DeBartolo, it also had to have come as a relief; he had loudly predicted for the 49ers this week, pulling no punches in saying it was "a warm-up game" for the 49ers and that they were "just too good" for the Falcons.

One man is dead and two are injured after a fire Wednesday afternoon at Keystone Residential Services off Bushkill Falls Road in Lehman Township.
The fire broke out at about 12:15 p.m. in a multi-story house on the property, which provides housing for low-income residents and people with special needs, according to state police.
The name of the victim was not immediately available Wednesday.
Two people — a resident of the house and a volunteer firefighter — were taken to Pocono Medical Center with injuries, said state police Cpl. Warren Grabher of the Blooming Grove barracks.
Several residents and their pets were displaced by the blaze. As firefighters fought the fire, stunned residents watched from a safe distance. EMS workers gave them sheets to wrap around themselves to help fight off the cold air. Officials were arranging for the residents and their pets to be sheltered.
The fire is believed to be accidental, Grabher said. A state fire marshal and Blooming Grove investigative unit is searching for its cause.
Keystone Residential Services is located across from the entrance to Bushkill Falls on Keystone Court, a small looping road servicing a small row of apartments and a larger house shared by multiple residents. It is the house that burned.
Firefighters filled tankers from the pond at the entrance to Bushkill Falls. The tankers were then backed up the driveway leading to the house. Bushkill Falls Road was reduced to one lane as fire trucks and ambulances lined the road.
Keystone Residential Services is not an officially sanctioned or licensed facility, according to Carbon-Monroe-Pike Mental Health and Developmental Services.
The buildings and surrounding land are owned by Joan and Louis Bruno. Keystone Residential Services Inc. was incorporated on Nov. 22, 1993, according to Department of State records.
Pocono Record Writer David Pierce contributed to this report.

A DUI task force was called to investigate a suspected drunken driver who had been stopped for speeding on Interstate 70 in Edwards on July 5.
The 21-year-old woman's breath smelled of alcohol as she agreed to perform voluntary roadside tests. She failed all of them and was arrested for further investigation of DUI.
It took two officers to get her into handcuffs. Then she started falling down to passively resist their efforts to put her in the back of the patrol car. The deputies lifted her into the car and she started kicking and biting them so that they couldn't close the door, saying they were racist.
A deputy pulled his Taser at her and said she would be Tased if she continued. She said, "I don't care," and lunged head first toward the officer, who deployed his Taser.
The woman was examined by paramedics and Vail Valley Medical Center before going to jail for DUI, speeding and driving without a license. At the jail, it was also discovered she had a warrant for failing to appear in court for a charge of possessing alcohol as a minor in 2009.
Deputies responded to a disturbance at an Edwards bar on July 8.
A 45-year-old man was heavily intoxicated, demanding free shots from the bartender. The man also insisted on driving and that's where deputies got involved. The man agreed to get a cab after 15 minutes of arguing but the officers watched him leave in his truck and pulled him over.
While talking with the man through his driver-side window, his truck started rolling forward. The officers told him to put it in park but it kept rolling. The officers had to pull him out of the vehicle and park it for him.
They asked him to perform voluntary roadside tests and he agreed, saying, "I'm not drunk." He failed the tests and was arrested for further investigation of DUI.
A pat-down search turned up a crack pipe that had recently been used. The man claimed he only used it for marijuana but a narcotic identification kit proved otherwise. The man's driver license and license plates were also expired.
The man initially refused a chemical test then elected a blood test at VVMC. Once at the hospital, he refused again. He was cleared for a heart condition and to go to jail. On the way to jail, the man made several threats and then claimed he was having chest pains and shortness of breath. He appeared fine but the deputy took him back to the hospital, where he was cleared again. The man also kicked the deputy during that process.
He was booked for assault on an officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or both, driving with an expired license and possession of possibly altered license plates. He was also issued a notice of revocation of his license for refusing a chemical test.
A deputy stopped a car for speeding on Highway 6 in Edwards on July 9 and discovered the 29-year-old driver didn't have a license. The man said the license plates were also false and he didn't have insurance for the car.
The car was towed and the license plates were confiscated and destroyed. The man was cited for speeding, driving an uninsured car, displaying false tags and driving without a license.
On July 11, a couple reported a burglary of their Edwards apartment on Lake Creek Village Drive.
They said the burglary happened July 10. A bedroom window was open and a screen was broken when they came home that evening. The house was rummaged but only a few things were missing, including a laptop, video recorder and two small wallets with identification cards and papers.
A resident of an Edwards apartment on River Pines Court reported a burglary on July 20.
He said he came home late the previous night and noticed some things out of place. He didn't think much about it until he noticed the apartment had obviously been rummaged. Several things were missing, including an envelope with $1,200, a briefcase worth $500 and an iPhone 4 worth $500.
It appeared the burglar gained access through an unlocked balcony door.
A bronze statue was stolen from the front porch of a vacation home on Aspen Lane in Beaver Creek between mid-March and June 18.
The homeowners didn't know about it until July 21. Groundskeepers saw it was gone in June but didn't suspect anything unusual.
The statue was torn off its concrete base, bolts and all. The statue was worth $4,800 and damage to the concrete was estimated to cost $200.
On July 13, vendors at Gypsum's Dirty Dozen event were camping in the parking lot near their tents, which were closed for the night. They saw four men breaking into a tent. The men started throwing lemons at each other that they had found in the tent. They ran off when they saw the vendors coming after them. The estimated loss of four lemons was valued at $2.
• A wallet was stolen from an unlocked car parked outside an Edwards movie theater on June 27.
• Items were stolen from unlocked cars parked outside a residence on Hummingbird Trail in Edwards between June 29 and July 2.
• A Beaver Creek apartment complex on Bachelor Gulch Trail was vandalized between June 29 and 30. A glass door was broken and wiring for a fire alarm system was ripped apart. A faint trail of blood led through the building and ended on the second floor.
• A window was smashed out of an Eagle-Vail bus stop between July 2 and 3. The damage is estimated to cost $300.
• Scaffolding was stolen from outside a vacant property in Bond between June 6 and July 4. The equipment was worth about $4,300.
• A license plate was stolen from a truck in Gypsum between July 6 and 7.
• A Gypsum resident of Red Hill Drive suspected her home was entered while it was left unlocked for an hour on July 9. A baseball hat was left by the front door. Deputies submitted the hat to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for DNA testing since it might be related to other burglaries in the area.
• An unlocked car was rummaged while parked on Lariat Loop in Edwards on July 14.
• On July 16, a Gypsum business owner told deputies that 35 gallons of diesel fuel were siphoned out of a new company truck for the second time that week.
• Items were stolen from two unlocked cars at an Edwards trailer park around July 18.
• The left rear window was broken out of a car parked at Quail Run Circle in Gypsum between July 17 and 18.
• A MacBook Pro laptop worth $5,000 and an iPhone 4 worth $600 were stolen from an unlocked car on Red Barn Street in Edwards between July 19 and 20.

There was a lot of applause for women Friday at the American Heart Association's annual Go Red for Women luncheon, but the loudest of all went to all the women whose lives have been saved because of the campaign to educate women about heart disease.
The event at San Jose's Fairmont Hotel celebrated the 10th anniversary of the movement here in Silicon Valley and was launched with a Giselle-tini -- a red-hued vodka cocktail -- by longtime supporter Giselle Parry Farris.
"Ten years ago, heart disease was regarded mostly as a men's disease," she said. "The Go Red for Women movement stimulated a crucial conversation by women, for women, about women."
You shouldn't be surprised to hear the luncheon attracted a substantial number of high-powered Silicon Valley women, nearly all of them dressed in the campaign's signature color. Speakers included Anita Del Grande and Marie LoPresto, who are the co-founders of the Circle of Red group; event chairwoman Dianne Mills, a senior vice president of human resources at PayPal; heart disease survivor (and transplant recipient) Janice Taylor; and Blair Christie, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Cisco Systems.
"Thanks in large part to the American Heart Association and Go Red for Women, we can all live healthier," Christie said. "It's amazing what, if we focus on ourselves as women, a difference we can make."
SUITS ON THE GO: I was shocked to hear that Eli Thomas for Men, one of Santana Row's original tenants, had moved out of the upscale San Jose shopping center. But the men's clothing store, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, didn't go far: The new store is at 350 S. Winchester Blvd., about 300 yards from the old space and still surrounded by Santana Row on three sides.
The old store closed Sunday, and all the merchandise was trucked over that night and set up in the new store. The biggest benefit for the move, I'd say, is that the store now has its own dedicated parking space. That's got to be an advantage for owner Jim Thomas' customers, who probably have better uses of their time than looking for parking.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER: San Jose's newest Peregrine falcons, the four offspring of City Hall dwellers Clara and Fernando El Cohete, have been given names -- Blaze, Bolt, Beatrix and Halo -- and now their fans would be eagerly anticipating their first flight -- if one hadn't already happened.
The annual "Fledge Watch" officially began Friday, but a mischievous Beatrix nudged Blaze off the ledge at City Hall on Thursday and Bolt was "encouraged" to fly by his sister, Halo, too. Trained volunteers, who are positioned at designated spots around the birds' nest box at City Hall, got the boys back up to the nest.
The names -- Blaze and Bolt are boys; Beatrix and Halo are girls -- were the most popular among the entries nominated by San Jose schoolchildren. Judges included representatives from the Children's Discovery Museum, Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, the former San Jose Peregrine Falcon Alliance, Silicon Valley Creates, the city's Environmental Services Department and biologist Glenn Stewart of UC Santa Cruz's Predatory Bird Research Group.
You can get more information on the Peregrine falcons and a link to the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group's FalconCam at www.sanjoseca.gov/falcons.
OPEN SEASON ON WINE: Cielo, the rooftop wine bar at Santana Row's Hotel Valencia, was bustling with people Thursday night for its season opening event. The patio bar, on the hotel's seventh floor, will now be open from 5 to 9:30 p.m. nightly through mid-October, barring any inclement weather (and we haven't had much of that in months).
If you haven't been there -- and I hadn't until Thursday -- you can catch some great sunsets.
BEST HOSPITAL FOOD EVER: Valley Medical Center wrapped up National Hospital Week in style Friday afternoon, with the hospital's employees enjoying a gourmet food-truck lunch, spearheaded by San Jose caterers Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, on the lawn of the Rehabilitation Center.
Entertainment was provided by the Idol Hands Band, which includes VMC Foundation Executive Director Chris Wilder and other VMC staff members. It was probably a welcome celebration, given all the hospital construction going on there.
MOUSE SQUAD TURNS 10: Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Carl Guardino and Brocade's Lisa Loscavio will be the speakers Thursday when MOUSE Squad celebrates its 10th anniversary of preparing today's young students for the STEM -- that's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics -- jobs of tomorrow.
The evening reception is being held at the Tech Museum in downtown San Jose, and there are a limited number of tickets still available for $50 at http://msca10.eventbrite.com.

If you have to define hip-hop style by what it isn't, then chances are you are just being elitist by excluding those who dress in clothes that you say aren't hip-hop.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 12 Answers 3 votes The Bliazzard (poor spelling on serebii's behalf, the actual classification, or possibly a mistake by GameFreak.) While it looks weird with that random ting sticking out of it, and the first form in the line looks like Castform, this guy is decent, and I had at one time considered him for my team. Ability: Ice Body EVs: Sp Attack, Sp Def, Def Nature: Calm Hail: WIth healingdue to Ice Body, increasing the power of Blizzard by x1.5 and making it have 100% accuracy and more, plus increasing Sp Def by x1.5, this move has really gotten an upgrade this Gen. Blizzard: Power increased by Hail, accuracy 100% in hail, and has a 25% chance of breaking through Protect and Detect in Hail. All this adds up to a damn powerful move, especially taking into acount the pretty nice Sp Attack stat. Body Purge: Not only doubles Speed, but also makes this guy lighter. This provides better protection from Low Kick and Grass Knot. While you will take more damage from Heavy Bomber and Heat STamp, those moves are much less common than Low Kick and Grass Knot (especially Grass Knot.) However, the main point is the Speed boost. Water Pulse/Flash Cannon: This is a tough choice. Water Pulse deals with Fire and Rock weakness, but has 20 less base power. Flash Cannon has 20 more base power, but only deals with Rock weakness. A very difficult choice. answered Oct 5, 2010 by trachy What's body purge? commented Mar 13, 2012 by brainbox Body Purge is the Japanese name for "Autotomize" commented Mar 13, 2012 by 5th of November Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Hail sweeper: Suggested ability: Ice Body Suggested Item: leftovers; life orb Suggested Nature: Modest Blizzard Water Pulse Hidden power [ground] Autotomize/protect Pretty basic idea here. He blasts the crap out of enemies with STAB Blizzard, can cover rock, fire, and steel with a single move, and can cover a few other pokemon with water pulse. You can either boost up his speed, or hold out for a few turns to restore his health while damaging your opponent. answered Sep 27, 2011 by DarkTyphlosion Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Ben and Jerry's UU edition: Suggested ability: Ice body Suggested item: Leftovers Suggested nature: Modest/Timid Blizzard/Ice Beam Blizzard/Ice Beam Taunt Light Screen/Water Pulse/Weather ball hidden power [grass] This is kind of an anti UU pokemon Vanilluxe. Blizzard and ice beam serve as STAB; use blizzard if you plan on having a hail team. Taunt prevents the opponent from setting up stealth rock, and severely injuring your Vanilluxe later. Light screen offers team support, and makes him even bulkier, water pulse takes out a few common guys like Arcanine. Weather ball can be used to shift the odds in your favor against other weather teams, but it's more situational. Hidden power grass prevents him from being screwed over by bulky waters like Milotic or Suicune. answered Sep 27, 2011 by DarkTyphlosion Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Sun Sweeper?(Hope my cone doesn't melt) Item: Leftovers Ability: Ice-body Nature: Modest EVs: 252 S.Attack, 160 Speed, 98 Hp Ice-beam Weather-ball HP(Ground) Autotomize Ice-beam is for STAB. Weather-ball is a strong Fire-type move in the Sun. HP(Ground) is for coverage. Autotomize boosts speed. Ice-body makes it so if the weather is change to Hail(Which is a possibility) you get healing. answered Nov 10, 2011 by Speed freak edited Apr 24, 2012 by Speed freak Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Vanilluxe (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Ice Body EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) Ice Beam Water Pulse Hidden Power [Electric] Flash Cannon answered Jun 18, 2011 by trachy Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Vaniluxe (F) @ nevermelt ice- Sp. tank EVs- 104 Hp/200 Sp attack/200 Sp defence Nature- calm(+sp defence,- attack) Ability- ice body Moves- - hail- heals & I now know that it also increases a bunch of things, & hurts the enemy! - blizzard- one of the best stab moves especially with hail working simultaneously - water pulse- taking advantage of egg moves & high sp attack - substitute- heals damage taken from this in hail & allows a few moves of attack w/ out damage answered Sep 14, 2011 by Eoko edited Sep 14, 2011 by Eoko Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Two Scoops of Deathly Frostbite Ability: Ice Body Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk) EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 SpD Item: Leftovers/Icy Rock - Blizzard- high power STAB - Flash Cannon/Water Pulse- adds more coverage with nice effects - Hail- works with ability, ups SpD, and powers up Blizzard - Hidden Power(Ground)- eliminate 3 weakness with one move answered Nov 10, 2011 by mblinginballer Advice for readers: go for the Ice Rock if it's a hail team. commented Nov 10, 2011 by [MEGA]StellarLucario Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Nature : modest Gender: can be boy or female items: brightpowder Special annoyer moves: .

But hear me out, please. Perry's (Vanilluxe) @ Focus Sash ![Vanilluxe][1] EVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spd, 4 HP Mild Nature (+ SAtk, - Def) or Modest (+SAtk, - Def) Trait: Weak Armor Ice Beam Hidden Power [Ground] Signal Beam Ice Shard/Mirror Coat A little suprise for those Physical guys. This swept half a team. Weak Armor will get you more Speed to Sweep. If you'd lika a 1-time use OHKO to any Special Attacker, Use Mirror Coat. If you want to revenge kill with STAB Priority Ice Shard, that's another viable option. Ice Beam is your main STAB. Hidden Power gets you coverage to Rock, Fire, and Steel- covering all its weaknesses except Fighting. Signal Beam kills Dark and Psychic.

Vanilluxe @ Leftovers Ability: Ice body Nature: Modest (+ Sp. A -Att) EVs: 128 Sp. A 100 Defense 127 HP 155 Sp. Defense Hail - Gain 1/16 of your max HP every round (Combined with Leftovers there will be 1/8) - I have heard that it also increases Sp. Defense by 50 % - And in addition boosting Blizzard to 100 % chance and plus 50 % damage Blizzard - Doing massive damage (120 1.5(Hail) 1.5(Vanilluxe is an ice type)) = 270 Acid Armor - Increases defense by two stages Light Screen - Decreases foe's Sp. Attack damage by 50 % --> Same as doubling the Sp. Defense - Combined with Hail: 1.5*2= 3 times the Sp. Defense --> Sp Attacks will do 33 % of ordinary damage Is all of my maths true? Is this an optional way of building Vanilluxe or is it far better having better Sp. Attack coverage with Speed EVs? I'll be very thankful if someone answer :-D answered Aug 27, 2013 by smoreost4ever This really isn't the place to ask about it, just post the set. commented Aug 28, 2013 by JarJar~ sadly hail wont buff any stats, I wish it did though commented Jan 18, 2015 by Frostwarrior359 I think this is a great set! commented Jun 19, 2015 by GoldLatias Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes PUT ON A HAIL TEAM [email protected] 252 HP. 118 def. 118 s.def. 20 s.atk Mirror Coat: Alot of damage on the opponent's special sweeper. Toxic: To toxicinize physical Pokemon. Hidden Power Ground/Blizzard: HP Ground=Coverage Blizzard=180 power and gets poison heal Gliscor and Breloom. Protect: Annoying! Heal while they are being hurt by poison. answered Aug 28, 2013 by Jellohamster Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Vanilluxe Ability: Ice body Nature: Timid (+Spd, -Atk) - Blizzard - Flash cannon - Acid armor - Mirror coat It may looks like a strange double ice cone, but I really like it! You can choose between Blizzard or Ice beam if you're playing on an Hail team or not. You can boost your defense to push the opponent to use S. attacks, and then you just have to use Mirror coat. Combine it with Leftovers during Hail so you can have a not-so-bad recovery after using Mirror coat. answered Sep 9, 2013 by TsubasaRC Please log in or register to add a comment.
