Discussion: Unfavorable weather conditons......
The 1 and 1 count does speed things up about 8 to 10 minutes a game, not 3 or 4 minutes. Once again ... no one wants to get the games over quicker, the goal is to get more GAME ACTION in the time allotted for each game. The 1 and 1 count would do this.

Discussion: which do your prefer on a 5 game guarantee?
Would like to see the RR games mean more than seeding because you can see a bunch of new guys show up on Saturday for an 0-2 team sometimes. Give the higher seeds the hammer, now you're playing for something and those games are much more important.
Like the 3 day tournaments for the "bigger" and more "destination" places they are held. As for some of the events they are just glorified local tournaments that can easily be played in 2 days.

Discussion: Half Run Rule
There were 24 teams in that Lacey tournament with 15 different age/classification groups. This was just a pre-season event getting some games in but there are just too many different playing groups (and rules) overall.

Discussion: Do we pay to play by the hour??
A 1 and 1 count would shave about 8-10 minutes off of standing around watching batter's take 3-4 pitches and allow us to get that last inning in most of the time.

Discussion: Doeflinger Major Really?
The TOC was a 2015 event regardless that it's played 2 1/2 months later than it should be but that's the only reason they were still rated Major. If they would have participated in the Winter Nationals last November, they would have been Major+. Yes, the two tournaments should be flipped but it's not going to change anytime soon.

The 11th defender would help some too. Not preventing balls up the middle, just not as many going that way.

Any BLD. Only played in two, Vegas and Manteca. Makes you feel like a kid again! Agree with ffdonnie that the BLD complexes are getting a bit worn.

DoubleL10, would have rather seen the lower class team have to play by the upper class teams HR rule. At least it's something where it was a huge advantage for the lower teams with the gift runs, HR rule AND a coin toss.
Should be an option for the upper class team though.

Discussion: For 70 and over. 11 players on the field. Like or Dislike
I'd like to see 11 defenders in all the age groups (50 & up). Helps protect the pitcher and moves the game along. Maybe we can get 7 innings in for a change.

Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS
neck 10, no, the extra fielder does not PREVENT the pitcher from getting hit. The extra fielder may make the batter think about going a different way, that's all I'm saying. Not very complicated...less hits up the middle, less chance of the pitcher getting hit.

Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS
curveball, how does a fielder standing up the middle not deter batters from going up the middle? Don't you try to hit the ball where the defenders are not standing?
I don't quite understand your idea that SSUSA should implement the 11th fielder for the younger groups, where it's being used now? It's not being used now, that was my point.

Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS
How about an 11th defensive player up the middle (or wherever)to help out the pitcher? It's already done in the 70+. The games would move a bit quicker and possibly allow us to play 7 innings.

The Los Angeles Kings may still be chasing a playoff spot, but individually, goalie Jonathan Quick is also going after a Vezina Trophy.
With 10 games left in the season, most discussion around the Staples Center will be focused on the Kings' playoff hopes. Currently level on points (82) with divisional rival San Jose for the final spot in the West and only one point behind Dallas in the Pacific Division, the Kings are well within the realm of potentially entering the postseason as the No. 3 seed.
However, it is still fun to evaluate the players on an individual level and see where they stack up in terms of awards.
In a league that dishes out more honors than any other professional organization, it is somewhat discouraging to think that Quick will be the only L.A. player in the discussion for awards.
Here is how the Kings stack up in each individual category.

Read an Excerpt
Rebecca Hardaway swayed slightly on her fragile high heels and for one horrifying moment she feared she was going to topple forward and straight across the silver-and-white casket suspended over the open grave.
Dear God, give me strength, she prayed as she struggled to brace her trembling legs and stop the whirling in her head. She had to be strong. If not for herself, then out of an odd respect for the person who was about to be lowered into the earth.
Up until five days ago, Rebecca hadn't even suspected she had an aunt much less known Gertrude O'Dell existed. If Gertrude herself hadn't left strict instructions with a lawyer to notify Rebecca of her demise, she doubted she'd ever have known.
When the law offices of Barnes, Bentley and Barnes had called Bordeaux's, the department store in Houston where Rebecca worked as a fashion buyer, she'd thought a coworker had been pulling a joke on her. Her mother didn't have a twin sister in New Mexico! Surely there'd been some sort of mix-up.
But shockingly, there had been no mix-up and now questions continued to tear at Rebecca. How could such a secret have been kept for so long? Why had her mother, Gwyn, done such a thing? Her father had died eighteen years ago. Had he known about Gertrude? Or had Gwyn kept her twin sister a secret from everyone?
You don't understand, Rebecca. Gertrude and I were never close. Even though we were sisters, we were very different people. She had her own life and I had mine. We chose to go our separate ways.
Her mother's lame response to Rebecca's grilling hadn't answered anything. In fact, Gwyn was still evading her daughter's questions. And each day that passed without answers filled Rebecca with more and more resentment and puzzlement. She'd thought herself alone in the world except for her mother and now she realized she'd been cheated out of the chance of knowing her aunt!
And now it was too late. Too late.
At the head of the casket, a minister finished reading the 23rd Psalm, then added a short, comforting prayer. As Rebecca whispered "Amen," she felt a strong hand cup her right elbow.
Lifting her head, she looked straight into a pair of gold-brown eyes framed by thick black lashes. The face was partially shaded by the brim of a gray cowboy hat, but she recognized the man as one of the eight people who'd seen fit to attend her aunt's simple graveside services.
"I thought you might need a little support," he said softly. "The day is hot and grief has a way of draining a person."
Grief. Oh, yes, she was feeling all kinds of grief. She'd lost more than an aunt. She'd lost the whole foundation of her family. And her mother was still evading the truth. But this man had no way of knowing that.
"Thank you," she murmured.
A few steps away, the minister concluded the services, then offered Rebecca a few consoling words before he walked away. Beside her, the young cowboy continued to hold her elbow. He was dressed in a starched white shirt and blue jeans, the creases razor-sharp, the fabric carrying the faint scent of grass, sunshine and masculine muskiness. His hand was warm, the fingers wrapped against her skin, incredibly tough.
Who was this man, she wondered, and what connection did he have to Gertrude O'Dell?
"They'll be lowering the casket in a few moments," he said in a low husky voice. "Would you like one of the roses for a keepsake?"
Grateful for his thoughtfulness, she glanced at the lone spray of flowers lying upon the casket, then at him. "Yes. I would like that."
He dropped his hold on her arm and moved forward to pluck one of the long-stemmed roses from the ribbon binding. As he handed the flower to Rebecca, her throat thickened and tears rushed to her eyes.
Up until this moment, she'd not shed a tear or given way to the emotions washing over her like stormy waves. But something about this man's kindness had pricked the fragile barrier she'd tried to erect between her and the awful finality of her aunt's funeral.
"Thank you," she told him, then lifted her watery gaze from the rosebud to his face. His dark features were masculine and very striking, making the soft light in his eyes even more of a contrast. "I'm Rebecca Hardaway, Gertrude's niece. Did you know my aunt well, Mr." She paused as a slight blush heated her cheeks. "Uh, I'm sorry. I have to confess that I don't know any of her friends."
Once again his hand came around her elbow and with gentle urging, he moved her away from the casket and over to the limp shade of a lone mesquite tree. "My name is Jake Rollins," he told her. "And I'm sorry to say I didn't know your aunt personally. I only saw her from time to time as I drove by her place. I came to the funeral todaywell, because I thought she might like having someone say goodbye to her."
The tears in her eyes spilled onto her cheeks and she wiped helplessly at them with the pads of her fingertips. He pulled a white handkerchief from his back pocket and offered it to her.
She thanked him, then used the soft cotton to dab at the tracks of moisture on her cheeks. While she tried to gather herself together, she was keenly aware of his broad frame, the way his brown eyes were studying her. There had to be a lot of compassion in this man, she thought, for him to attend the funeral of a person he'd not really known.
He began to speak. "My friends, the Cantrellsthe people I'm here withown a ranch just west of your aunt's place. It's called Apache Wells. Maybe Gertie mentioned it to you?"
She shook her head. She didn't know how to explain to this man that she'd never spoken to Gertrude O'Dell. Never met her. It was all so unbelievable, yet terribly true. "I'm afraid not. But I do thank you and your friends for coming today. Iwell, if it weren't for you and your friends, there would have been only a handful of people here to see her laid to rest."
Faint cynicism quirked his lips. "People nowadays tell themselves they don't have time to go to funerals. If I were you, I wouldn't worry myself over the lack of mourners."
Interest suddenly sparked in her misty blue eyes. "You called my aunt Gertie," she asked. "Is that how people around here knew her?"
Jake tried not to appear stunned as he studied the beautiful woman standing before him. This couldn't be Crazy Gertie's niece, he thought. The old woman had been a recluse who'd always been dressed in old clothing and was known for firing a shotgun at anyone she didn't deem welcome on her land. Rebecca Hardaway was the complete opposite. She looked exactly like one of those women whose photographs filled a fashion magazine.
She was wearing a black dress that hugged her slender hips and draped demurely across her breasts. Her high heels were just thathigh. With little straps that fastened around her shapely ankles. A black straw hat with a wide brim and a band swathed with white chiffon covered her pale blond hair and framed a set of pale, delicate features. Her lips were red and so were her short fingernails. And even with her blue eyes filled with tears, all Jake could think was that she was one classy chick.
"Well, I'm not exactly sure about that," he said. "WeAbe, old Mr. Cantrell that isalways called her Gertie. I imagine that's what her friends called her, too."
Everyone around here had assumed Gertie had no family. Down through the years no one had witnessed any outsiders visiting. In fact, Jake figured he'd fudged when he'd pluralized the word friend. The only person who'd had much contact with the woman at all was Bess, an older lady who worked in a small grocery store in Alto. A moment ago Jake had seen her climb into her car and drive away from the cemetery. If Rebecca wanted information about Gertie, then Bess would be her best source.
"I see," she murmured.
At that moment, she glanced over her shoulder just in time to see the coffin being lowered into the ground. Sensing the sight was cutting into her, Jake moved the two of them a few more steps away from the grave site and did his best to distract her. "Did you make the trip here by yourself?" he asked.
"Yes. I live in Houston andthere was no one available to make the trip with me."
No family, husband, boyfriend? Even though Jake had already glanced at her left hand in search of a wedding ring, he found himself looking again at the empty finger. It was hard to believe a beautiful woman like her wasn't attached. And if she was, what kind of man would have allowed her to travel all this way to attend such an emotional ceremony by herself?
"That's too bad," he said. "You shouldn't be alone at a time like this."
She drew back her shoulders as though to prove more to herself than him that she wasn't about to break down. "Sometimes a person has no other choice but to be alone, Mr. Rollins."
His lips twisted to a wry slant. Women had called him plenty of things down through the years, but never Mr. Rollins. "I'm just Jake to you, ma'am." He tilted his head in the direction of the Cantrell family, then suggested, "Let me introduce you to my friends."
"I'd like that," she murmured.
For May in Lincoln County, New Mexico, the sun was hot in the cloudless sky. Every now and then a faint breeze rustled the grass in the meadow next to the lonely little cemetery and carried the scent of Rebecca Hardaway straight to Jake's nostrils. She smelled like crushed wildflowers after a rainstorm. Sweet and fresh and tempting.
Forget it, Jake. She's not your kind of woman. So just rein in that roaming eye of yours.
By now Abe, Quint and Maura had gathered near the wrought-iron gate that framed the exit to the cemetery. As Jake and Rebecca Hardaway approached the group, Maura, a pretty young woman with dark red hair, was the first to greet them. Quint, a tall handsome guy who was the same age as Jake, followed close behind his wife. Next to him, Abe moved to join the group. The elderly man was somewhat shorter than his grandson and rail-thin. His thick hair was white as snow and matched the drooping walrus mustache that covered his top lip. Abe was a legendary cattle rancher of the area and Quint was quickly following in his footsteps. Both men were like family to Jake.
Quickly, he made introductions all around and had barely gotten the last one out of his mouth before Maura reached for Rebecca's hand.
"You must be awfully weary, Ms. Hardaway," she said gently. "We'd love for you to join us at Apache Wells for refreshments. That is, if you don't have other plans."
Gertie's niece glanced at Jake as though she wanted his opinion about the invitation. The idea took him by surprise. A fancy woman like her had never asked him for the time of day. But then he had to remember that Rebecca Hardaway was obviously under a heavy weight of grief and probably not herself.
"Well, I don't know," she said hesitantly. "I wouldn't want to be a bother."
"Nonsense, young lady," Abe spoke up. "We always have the coffeepot on. And everybody's welcome. We'd enjoy having you."
Rebecca smiled at the old man, which was hardly a surprise to Jake. Even though Abe was in his mid-eighties, Quint's grandfather hadn't lost his charm with the ladies. What did surprise him was how the tilt of the woman's lips warmed her, made her appear all too soft and touchable.
"Thank you, sir," she said to Abe. "It would be nice to have a little rest before I drive back to Ruidoso."
"Great," Maura chimed in. "Just leave your car here and ride with us. The roads might be too rough for your rental car. Someone will bring you back to pick it up."
"That's kind of you," Rebecca told her. "Especially since Iwell, I'm not sure I'm up to driving at the moment."
Quint suggested it was time to get out of the hot sun and be on their way. Jake didn't waste time helping Rebecca over to the truck and into the front passenger seat.
She gave him demure thanks, but no smile and as Jake climbed into the back bench seat next to Abe, he wondered what the old man had that he didn't.
Hell, Jake. If you want a woman to smile at you all you have to do is drive down to Ruidoso and saunter into the Blue Mesa for a cup of coffee or the Starting Gate for a cold beer. There were plenty of women around those hangouts who would be more than happy to smile at you.
Yeah, Jake mentally retorted to the cynical voice in his head. He knew plenty of women who were willing to give him whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. But none of them were like Rebecca Hardaway. And if any of them were like her, he'd steer clear. He was a simple man with simple taste, he told himself. If a man understood his limitations, he was more likely to avoid trouble.
And yet as Quint guided the club cab truck over the dusty road, Jake's gaze continued to drift to the back of Rebecca Hardaway's head. Once she'd gotten settled in the leather seat, she'd removed her hat and now as she turned her head slightly to the left to acknowledge something that Quint was saying, he could see a drape of fine blond hair near her eyebrow and wispy curls tousled upon her shoulder. The strands were subtly shaded and obviously natural.
There was nothing fake about Rebecca Hardaway, he thought. At least, not on the outside. As for the inside, he'd have to guess at that. Because there was no way in hell she'd ever give a working man like him a glimpse.
Abe's cattle ranch, Apache Wells, consisted of more than a hundred thousand acres and had been in existence long before either Jake or Quint had been born. The property was only one of many the old man owned and though he was rich, Abe lived in a modest log house nestled at the edge of a piney foothill.
Once inside the cool interior, Maura and Quint quickly excused themselves to the kitchen to prepare refreshments. While Rebecca took a seat on a long couch, Abe settled himself in a worn leather recliner and Jake stood to one side trying to decide if he should escape to the kitchen with his friends or take advantage of these few minutes with the Texas wildflower.

Watch: Willow Smith and Nicki Minaj ignite on 'Fireball'
It's safe to say that lack of confidence will not ever be an issue with little Willow Smith, the spawn of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Really, what other 11-year old has the cojones to start her video in the same style as the legendary opening credits from "Star Wars?"
The Hype Williams-directed "Fireball" featuring, of course, Nicki Minaj, debuted on B.E.T.'s ""106th and Park" on Wednesday. Smith continues on in her Rihanna mini-me mode in her spoken/sung delivery, although this song, to keep it in "Star Wars" parlance, is from a galaxy far far away from "Whip My Hair" and a far better one at that. (Musically, however, the song features the same military beat as "Run The World (Girls)" from Beyonce).
[More after the jump...]
The credits give way to the titular fireball hurling to earth, which contains, apparently, our little extraterrestrial Willow, who has been working on some fancy dance moves as she and her friends high step their way through rain-slicked (are there any other kind) Los Angeles streets way past their bedtime.
About half-way through pink-haired Minaj shows up in another wacky, colorful confection complete with furry rainbow boots to deliver a rap about... something.
It's a beautifully shot, albeit dark, video that showcases Smith's undeniable charisma.
"Fireball" is the latest blast from Smith's Roc Nation debut, "Knees & Elbows," out April 3, 2012.
What do you think? Did she inherit her parents' talent?
(We'll replace this video with a better quality one as soon as it's available).

Big 12 men's basketball teams 114-1 at home so far
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas State didn't stand much of a chance against Missouri. Even with their best record in 61 years and their longest winning streak in a decade, the Wildcats were facing the most inhospitable place in college basketball.
Mizzou Arena? No. Anywhere on the road in the Big 12.
Living up to its billing as one of the nation's toughest conferences, the Big 12 has become the Big Nasty for road opponents, boasting a 114-1 record at home through Tuesday.
Think of it as the 1985-86 Boston Celtics or the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens, only spread across 12 teams and seven states.
"It's mind-boggling," Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik said.
Of the 13 largest conferences in Division I, only one has fewer than 15 combined losses and five have more than 20. The ACC is the nearest to the Big 12's home dominance and it's still 11 games behind in the loss column at 97-12.
The Big 12 has eight teams with home winning streaks of at least 11 games and the two longest in the nation: Kansas at 51, Missouri with 30. The entire conference has fewer home losses than seven teams in the Big East, six in the Pac-10, five in the Big Ten and four in the SEC.
The only Big 12 team to slip up? Iowa State, against Northern Iowa on Dec. 2. Northern Iowa's Ali Farokhmanesh hit a 3-pointer with 36 seconds left and the defending Missouri Valley Conference regular season and tournament champions beat the Cyclones 63-60.
That's it. The rest are all W's.
"When you look at the home records, it's frightening," Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said.
The early season schedule has more than just the usual pushovers. Yes, there's plenty of teams such as Alcorn State, Farleigh Dickinson and Belmont for the Big 12 to beat up on.
But mixed in with those are some tougher home games.
Texas beat Michigan State in Austin, while Kansas beat both Michigan and California. Texas Tech won at home against Washington and Oregon State, Oklahoma beat Arkansas and Arizona in Norman. The list goes on - and has continued into conference play.
Opening its season last Saturday, the winning has continued for the conference.
Missouri pulled off an impressive win at Mizzou Arena, beating Kansas State 74-68 to end the Wildcats' 10-game winning streak. Oklahoma State routed then-No. 22 Texas Tech 81-52. Baylor ended a 30-game losing streak to Oklahoma that dated to 1977 with a 91-60 blowout. The Sooners bounced back from that loss to beat Oklahoma State 62-57 in overtime on Monday - at home, of course.
Kansas State kept it going with an 88-65 rout over Texas A&M on Tuesday and Colorado followed with a 78-71 upset of No. 22 Baylor in Boulder.
That puts the Big 12's mark at .991, more like Ozzie Smith's fielding percentage than a winning percentage.
"That just shows what a great league we have," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "Every place has always been tough to play, but this year it's been at a whole other level."

We spent three wonderful nights at the Williamsburg Manor. Our room was beautiful. The inn keeper did a lot of small things to make us feel special. There are no words to describe the breakfast that was served...we enjoyed everything that was made....we will definitely be back and gladly recommend this bed and breakfast to others.

I wanted to have a weekend trip to myself and found this small bed and breakfast online. I booked and drove over from Chesapeake and had my expectations blown away. It was a lovely little place and I enjoyed my stay.

My and my husband stayed there for our honeymoon. The manor was beautiful and we had so much privacy, music was playing when we arrived which I loved. So many rooms to sit and relax. Don't even let me get started on the kitchen, wonderful breakfast from a chef every morning and all the goodies and complimentary treats a fully stocked fridge with free drinks. A cool coffee maker, and I would spend my evenings having a hot cup of earl grey tea. They had everything you can ask for. We felt so welcome and you can walk around without someone breathing down your throat. Everything was available 24/7..I was up all night I'm a night owl due to my job but it didn't matter if I made some left overs popping popcorn and sitting outside at 3am you were free to do whatever you wanted. I love this B&B..and me and my husband will be back. Thank You for such a wonderful experience. Amy

The breakfast was phenomenal, the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel/bed and breakfast. Maggie was incredibly friendly and a great way to start the day.

Maggie, the chef, is outstanding as a cook, maid and personality. The accommodations inside and outside were great. Snacks all day long, a breakfast to die for, easy access to Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Real close to outlet mall shopping too. I would definitely stay here again.

The Manor is located just walking minutes from all the Williamsburg attractions. The house has a very welcoming atmosphere. Maggie made us feel very welcome and told us about the area attractions and suggested the best places for us to see the fife & drummers. Breakfast was also a treat. We enjoyed sitting in front of the house in the secluded sitting area. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to come again this fall to enjoy the falling leaves and maybe a William & Mary Football Game.

The house is within walking distance of the university and colonial Williamsburg. There is lots to keep you entertained in and around the house. The breakfasts were good and there is alway a great selection of snacks and drinks available all day. Lots of quiet places to sit or hang out. The only two complaints are the bed was a little hard for our tastes, and being an old house near a university it can get a little loud at night, but otjer than the weather it was a grea place to stay.

"Receiving" our visitor in the living room as if we were in our own home is such a treat.The ability to sit in a nice dining room with a very late supper instead of having to eat in our room and/or on the bed is great. We also love the "Breakfast Table" conversations with other guests. Such a relief from the anonymity of a hotel. Chasity is a jewel. The house is so comfortable and considerate of all your possible needs. Thanks Williamsburg Manor!

We really loved our stay at the Williamsburg Manor Bed & Breakfast. The house is warm, cozy and spacious all at the same time. We loved having multiple sitting areas throughout the house and garden. Breakfast each morning was well prepared and Annita and Chasity where easy to chat with and very interested in making our stay memorable. It was my wife's birthday and the put an Extraordinary Cupcake in our room so we could celebrate. Thank you. That was very thoughtful.

Mega Dusknoir
Dusknoir annoys me...I've come to the opinion that it indeed looks cooler than Dusclops (though I wish it was a little less fat looking), but the fact that aforementioned pre evolution outclasses it is just embarrassing. Similar could be said of Blissey, but Blissey is in an arguably less embarrassing predicament since it's at least a great Pokemon in its own right, whereas Dusknoir is just mediocre.
As I said, Dusknoir is worse than its pre evolution, as its only significantly higher stat is attack...which doesn't mean too much when its strongest move is non STAB Earthquake, with Shadow Punch being the weak piece of shit it is. It's also faster but that's mostly irrelevant since it's still really slow. Meanwhile Dusclops has much higher defenses thanks to Eviolite.
Mega Dusknoir could become a fire ghost, which seems rather befitting for an evilish (maybe) grim reaper figure. The yellow band and antennae on its head could become red, with the antennae becoming longer too. The skin below its head, save for a capelike remnant attached to the back of mega Dusknoir's neck, would no longer exist, with signs of tearing visible around its neck, as if it were a cloth that was torn off. Its hands and "stomach mouth" would remain, with a contained blueish inferno (resembling Will-o-wisp) existing where its arms and torso once were. Its floating stomach mouth would make all sorts of crazy facial expressions, as if it were mega Dusknoir's real mouth. It would even come complete with a fiery tongue.(sorry if I didn't explain that well, I tried)
Type: Ghost/Fire
Base stats: 45/100/135/65/135/45 --> 45/170/85/135/85/105
Ability: Download
Like I practically outright stated while describing my design idea, mega Dusknoir would gain fire typing. It actually learns Fire Punch by level up, which, while still somewhat weak, is certainly a better STAB move than Shadow Punch. As you can see, mega Dusknoir would completely give up on being defensive as its defensive stats plummet. However, its offenses and speed utterly skyrocket, making it a threatening sweeper.
The transmissions it received from the spirit world would strengthen with mega Dusknoir's expanded antennae, granting it the Download ability. While more of a physical attacker, its special attack (with a neutral nature) after a Download boost reaches 459, which is the same as Deoxys-A's without a boosting item. Receiving a special attack boost would allow it to break through physically defensive Pokemon with Shadow Ball, and maybe Ice Beam or something. Meanwhile, receiving an attack boost would allow it to simply mow down everything with Fire Punch, Earthquake, Shadow Sneak, Sucker Punch and more. Speaking of priority moves, with how mega evolution works, mega Dusknoir would be stuck with an awful 45 base speed on the first turn after mega evolution. Rather than resort to Protect, I think a powerful Shadow Sneak or Sucker Punch would be the best remedy for this.
I feel Ghost/Dark would be more befittin' a plausible Mega evolution's design (and wouldn't make it a mega evolution slot-stealing Chandelure). Sableye had t' make room for Spiritomb in DPP, I reckon it should also share the spotlight with poor ol' Dusknoir in Gen 6.
also lets not forget bout golurk
Spoiler Alert!
Mega Carnivine
Heh, Carnivine looks so silly. I've never been a particular fan, but it's alright. The tentacles in particular make me want to train one.
Carnivine was always pretty meh in regards to competitiveness. It's slow as balls (not those balls) and is a tad frail. Its movepool is also quite poor, but it does get some good moves that it can make use of like Power Whip, Sleep Powder, Knock Off, Sludge Bomb, Stun Spore, Giga Drain...that's basically it, though, half of those being part of the generic grass movepool anyway. Power Whip at least allows it to hit quite hard with its respectable attack stat.
As for mega Carnivine, I was thinking its design would involve it fighting while upsidedown. Specifically, its "tentacles" would grow enormously in length and it would use them as legs, while danging from them. Think spider, or, better yet, daddy long legs...I'd link to an image to help illustrate, but since daddy long legs are fucking creepy, I will link to a beady long legs from Pikmin instead, which happens to probably work even better. The green tentacles would also turn red on the ends. Carnivine's bulb-like torso would also expand into being a sort of mini treetrunk. Its arm leaves, which would have grown bigger, would hang from Carnivine's neck, and be attached to a newly formed collar of leaves around its neck. The tips of mega Carnivine's teeth would be dyed red.
Moving on,
Type: Grass/Dark
Base stats: 74/100/72/90/72/46 --> 74/130/92/90/72/96
Ability: Intimidate
First of all, mega Carnivine would become a Grass/Dark type. This would be fairly problematic defensively, as mega Carnivine would become weak to fighting and fairy attacks, while having its bug weakness amplified. However, the new dark and ghost resistances, as well as the psychic immunity, would be very welcome. Most importantly, the retype would give mega Carnivine STAB on Knock Off and Crunch, allowing it to have good neutral coverage that mono grass just didn't achieve.
Mega Carnivine's physical attack would get a decent boost, and its physical defense would also become more acceptable. More important is the massive speed boost it would get due to its spiderleg reminiscent vines . While nothing amazing, base 96 speed is enough to outspeed a good chunk of things. Intimidate would help it take on physical attackers much better, possibly even letting it work as a defensive pivot. It does learn Synthesis, a decently reliable method of recovery, as well as support moves like Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. It could also work as a sweeper, having access to Swords Dance, but its only good speed and lack of priority would be a big issue.
Spoiler Alert!
Mega Beartic
I do like Beartic a lot, so I figured I'd go ahead and make a mega evolution for it.
Beartic has never been very good, just like many other ice types. It has a high attack stat and a surprisingly wide movepool for an ice-type, having tools such as as Icicle Crash, Avalanche, Superpower, Bulk Up, Taunt, Stone Edge, Aqua Jet, Play Rough, Yawn, and more. Beartic's main problem is its slowness, it has to take hits in order to dish them out, and while it does have above average bulk, ice is simply a bad defensive type.
Its Pokedex entries mention Beartic "freezing its breath to create fangs and claws of ice to fight with", so I was thinking that mega Beartic could don thick "gloves" of ice, complete with icy claws attached. These ice gloves would be quite wide, so they could be used as shields. Mega Beartic would also have a mane of icicles on its back, as well as icicle "boots" and an extended icicle beard.
Type: Ice
Base stats: 95/110/80/70/80/50 --> 95/140/130/70/100/50
Ability: Hibernate
Mega Beartic would receive a significant attack increase, as well as big defensive increases, mostly in physical defense. It would maintain its mono ice typing, which isn't exactly good for it. The defense and special defense increase would go a long way, at least -- at maximum health, it would even be able to take a Choice Scarf Darmanitan's Flare Blitz most of the time, which is pretty crazy.
Its ability, Hibernate (was half tempted to make it "Hibearnate"), would be quite useful. While sleeping, mega Beartic's defense would be 1.5x the usual. Like Marvel Scale, only triggered by sleep specifically. When mega Beartic woke up, it would receive +1 in attack. This could obviously be used with Rest and Sleep Talk, staying alive easier during the sleep turns and gaining an attack boost upon waking up.
Spoiler Alert!
Mega Whimsicott
I'm not a big fan of Whimsicott, but it is rather cute, and I like its trollyness. Dirge is rather ecstatic about it, so I'm doing Whimsicott for him. Granted, I did become genuinely interested in turning mega Whimsicott into the devil, a goal inspired by one of my past avatars as well as Whimsicott's mischievous nature.
But first, I'll ramble a bit about Whimsicott in competitive. It gets cool points for having Prankster, my favorite ability in the game for obvious reasons, as well as the fact that it's genuinely just really fucking fun. Whimsicott isn't too great for reasons such as lacking recovery options outside of Leech Seed, its common weaknesses, and its mediocre defenses. It does have some cool things going for it like aforementioned Leech Seed, U-turn, Encore, Light Screen, Memento, Switcheroo, Stun Spore, Knock Off, etc.
Back to mega Whimsicott. The design I have in mind involves replacing its wool with a barbed wire-like substance, or, should I say, steel wool. Its green horn things would be replaced with straight up black devil horns. Its eyes would turn red and it would usually have a very sinister look on its face. Its body would turn dark grey and it would grow small claws on its hands.
Type: Grass/Steel
Base stats: 60/67/85/77/75/116 --> 60/117/115/77/95/116
Ability: Iron Wool (heh) Edit: Naming it "Ironworks" instead in case I decide to give it to somefin else later
After mega evolving, Whimsicott would become a Grass/Steel type, having its fairy-type replaced. As Ferrothorn has shown, Grass/Steel is a very good defensive typing, only being weak to fire and fighting and having a lot of resistances. Its attack stat would go up a lot, along with its defenses. Regular Whimisicott was fast enough, so the speed stays the same. Mega Whimsicott would actually take better advantage of its high speed than regular Whimsicott, who didn't need it in many situations due to Prankster and its non offensive nature.
Iron Wool Ironworks would be a variant of Pixilate, Aerilate, and Refrigerate that turns normal-type attacks into steel-type attacks and receive a 30% boost in power. This would allow mega Whimsicott to hit quite hard, albeit with poor offensive typing better than poison. Using Return, it would hit about 81% as hard as mega Pinsir, and a tad harder than Scarf Garchomp using Outrage. Seed Bomb, Knock Off, and U-turn would be its only other options for physical moves, as its physical movepool is quite poor. U-turn at least would allow it to escape from opponents it couldn't touch.
Of course, mega Whimsicott would maintain regular Whimsicott's large status movepool. While it would lack Prankster to get priority on them, it could still use them effectively, especially with its higher defenses and better defensive typing. Taunt, Encore, Stun Spore, Leech Seed, etc would remain quite viable.

Flames Game 1 Positives
Kent Wilson
January 21 2013 11:46AM
Reading through some reactions in the gamethread and elsewhere its seems a lot of fans were underwhelmed by Calgary's efforts versus San Jose last night. There are, of course, completely legitimate reasons for the faithful to be primed for disappointment when it comes to the Flames - 20 years of mediocrity has kind of bred it into this generation of Calgary followers.
Still, I was personally encouraged by at least some of what we saw, scoring notwithstanding. I am often described as the cynical pessimist in the room, so let it be known I am typically not prone to playing the Pollyanna role.
New Season Business and Site Notes

The outcome yesterday may have been disappointing but we here at FN are nevertheless happy and thankful for NHL hockey to be back on. We'd also like to take this time to thank those of you who stuck around through the dark lock-out months when we were talking about prospects and lawyers every other day. To those readers returning after the long wait, welcome back! We're glad you weren't too jaded by the work stoppage.
And finally to any new readers we've gathered, well..I hope you're prepared to argue your viewpoint in the comments for days on end. The traffic and chatter has been excellent since the lawyers and union heads decided to get out of the way, so once again thanks to all of you.
Anyways, with the Flames back at it tonight, there's a few sites notes I want to share before we get back to the action.
POST GAME: You're Going to Need A Bigger Boat
Vintage Flame
January 20 2013 11:05PM
The stage was set. The Dome was packed and as the season opening video hit the jumbotron, it was enough to rile fans into a steady buzz. Armed with as many light-sticks as you could hold, when the music hit, the frenzy was too much to contain, and the fans were alive, and it felt like home again.
Needless to say, the events of the last four months were long forgotten, and all was forgiven.
As I sat in my seat, the fans all around were already beginning the season's first pool. Who would score the Calgary's first goal of the season? With names flying around, one fan made mention that Glencross was the odds on favorite since he had done it twice before andnow he was playing with Iggy and Tanguay. That seemed enough to convice the undecided in the area.
With a grin on my face, I turned to the gentleman and said, "My money's on Backlund this year."

Well it's finally here. The season opener.
After about 10 months of waiting, debating, fighting, hoping, wailing, wishing, gnashing teeth and rending garments, we finally get to see the latest iteration of the Calgary Flames take to the ice.
Their opponent this afternoon is the San Jose Sharks, a club some pundits claim is on the inevitable downswing; a former power watching the window of opportunity creaking shut. Personally, I think the rumors of the Sharks death are greatly exaggerated.

Help your child navigate vacation time
With all of the travel that occurs during the summer, visitors and changing sleeping arrangements can evoke overwhelming feelings of worry in a child. It can be exciting to share a room with your cousin or sleep in the living room, but children can often feel unsettled without a clear routine, especially those who thrived during the school year. By giving them more control over their own schedule you will help them to grow, feel more secure and learn important skills.
Tactile children tend to be particular about rules and don't always understand that rules can change, while on vacation, when others are visiting, in other people's homes, etc. Acting as the caring overseer, they will try to enforce order: Rules are rules. Their first impulse will be physical: breaking up and putting away one child's Lego creation, or dragging another child to their seat for dinner. This is a perfect opportunity for parents to teach alternative forms of expression. The tactile child can learn to show or model a behavior, rather than forcing others.
Visual children are a little particular and need to learn that others' visual tastes differ from theirs. In new situations, the visual child's honesty can seem rude. They will comment on their aunt's ugly floral couch, or refuse to even try the food, saying it looks funny. This is a control issue: The less control the child feels he/she has, the more rude and controlling about other things he/she will become. Resolve this by giving the child free rein on simple things: picking out his/her clothes, picking flowers for the table or arranging the clothes in the suitcase if you're traveling. Thank them for their help with these tasks.
Auditory children can be unsettled by any disruption to the day's routine sounds. Sleeping away from familiar sounds will compromise their sleep for the few days it takes to adjust. During this adjustment period, you will have a tired child who will most likely whine and complain. Auditory children thrive on routine, and having their sleep and eating patterns change will make it extra hard to handle the new noises and sounds they have to deal with. Keep the routine as normal as possible and try to replicate bedtime sounds to ease the transition.
Taste-and-smell children will tend to become clingy during disruptions such as summer vacations. They feel torn between two equally challenging feelings: the desire to please everyone, and their own anxiety over unmet needs. Being children, they will find it hard to express this conflict, resulting in emotional eruptions or even "spoiled" behavior. This is just a sign that they are feeling overwhelmed. Finding some quiet time with your child or arranging one-on-one time with a loved one can help.

You mean by checking the box "automatically fix pointers" then yes. If not, then no. But that's not my problem.. or I don't think so.. Because if I just import my tilemap into UnlZ, the current tilemap gets replaced by a blank image. Meaning, UnlZ won't read the tilemap or something... If I write it to the game anyway, and I check UnlZ again for the gamefreak tilemap, it's just a blank tilemap. Any help?
EDIT: OK...It's either my UnlZ GBA or my ROM, because if I make a RAW DUMP of the original Gamefreak tilemap and then try to re-import that same tilemap into UnlZ, the tilemap is replaced by a blank image.
EDIT 2: Problem solved... was my game. XD
