Wildcats rout Spartans 45-7 (full story)
Oak Harbor High School got off to a bit of a shaky start in Friday nights WesCo football game at Stanwood.
But like true survivors the Wildcats overcame 30 yards in penalties and a fumbled punt in the first quarter to put 14 points on the scoreboard, and rolled over the Spartans 45-7.
Homecoming was not a pleasant experience for the Stanwood players and fans as Oak Harbor dominated the action on both sides of the line of scrimmage and even a lengthy fireworks display at halftime didnt help the Spartans cause.
The powerful Wildcats offensive unit was able to run and pass the ball almost at will the entire game, and the defense played lights out and shut Stanwood down.
The offense was pretty consistent all night and the defense really stuffed them in the first half, head coach Dave Ward said. It was nice to come down here, play well and take care of them right away.
The first quarter could have been disastrous had it not been for senior running back Chris Valencia who gained 70 of his game-high 122 yards in the first 12 minutes of action.
Valencias production included runs of 29 and 23 yards during the Wildcats first possession and he had a 13-yard run for a touchdown at the 5:40 mark called back on a holding penalty.
On the very next play quarterback Johnny Encinas connected the first of his four touchdown passes, hitting tight end Jake Rouser from 20 yards out for a 7-0 lead.
Rouser caught just two passes
in the game but they both resulted in Oak Harbor touchdowns. His second reception came at the 4:28 mark of the third quarter to put the Wildcats ahead 31-7.
I dont know what to say, the last time everyone laughed at me and told me Im not allowed to do interviews anymore, the senior said with a big smile. All I can say was it was awesome and I didnt black out this time.
Donovan Hunt scored Oak Harbors second touchdown of the first quarter on a 3-yard run with 1:03 left on the clock.
The sophomore running back rushed for 38 yards on four carries and caught a pair of Encinas shovel passes for an additional 44 yards.
But it was the Wildcats defensive unit that really stood out.
We worked a lot in practice on like progression and stuff because in the past we had a lot of trouble with their linemen, senior defensive end Tyler Elliot said.
I think they are a pretty good team and they played hard, nose guard Jake Ford added. They threw a few tricks at us and it was pretty hard getting through them, but we did it.
Kevin Flavin put the only points on the board in the second quarter nailing a 30-yard field goal with 2:23 remaining until halftime to give Oak Harbor a 17-0 lead at the break.
It was fun, we got out there and showed them what weve got, defensive end Jeremy Pallerine said.
The Wildcats opened the third quarter on a 45-yard Encinas to Rodrick Rumble touchdown pass to push the lead to 24-0.
Rumble led all receivers with 3 catches for 119 yards, and rushed for an additional 25 yards.
Stanwood finally scored its lone touchdown at the 7:05 mark of the third quarter on a 15-yard run by C.J Tolbert.
Valencia kept things rolling for the Wildcats scoring on the first
play of the fourth quarter on a 2-yard run, and Michael Bell put
a cap on the game hauling in a 14-yard TD pass with 8:06 remaining.
Bell has now caught at least one touchdown pass in every game this season.
We just keep working hard and playing hard, he said.
Oak Harbor had a balanced attack putting up 569 yards in total offense and recorded 20 first downs.
Johnny was on and we dropped a couple of passes we should have caught, but we got that corrected in the second half, Ward said.
The victory keeps Oak Harbor undefeated at 5-0 and in first place in the WesCo North and 6-0 overall, and sets up Fridays homecoming showdown against Lake Stevens.
Ward said the Lake Stevens offense looks explosive.
They have a quarterback who likes to run and throw, he said. They seem to be real effective some drives and on other drives they shoot themselves.
Lake Stevens also has a lot of speed on the team and Ward said the Wildcats are looking forward to the challenge.
The kind of offense they have
you can never relax as they have a lot of players who can burn you, he said. Its going to be a week of real focus for us and get ready for the intensity. We hope that the homecoming week helps us emotionally, but we dont really need too much more emotion to get ready for Lake Stevens after what they did to us last year.
In 2006, Oak Harbors only loss was a 24-21 defeat by the Vikings.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Skip to comments.Pope Calls for Mutual Forgiveness Between Catholics and Lutherans
Posted on 10/21/2013 6:17:58 PM PDT by marshmallow
In his address to the Lutheran World Federation and representatives of the Lutheran-Catholic Commission on Unity, Francis said there are no lack of difficulties but we must not be afraid
Catholics and Lutherans can ask forgiveness for the harm they have caused one another and for their offenses committed in the sight of God, Francis said during this mornings audience with the delegation of the Lutheran World Federation and representatives of the Lutheran-Catholic Commission on Unity.
The Popes meeting with Bishop Munib Younan, the Federations president and its secretary, Martin Junge, follows on from the very cordial and pleasant meeting which took place during the inaugural celebration of Francis ministry as the Bishop of Rome.
It is with a sense of profound gratitude to our Lord Jesus Christ that I think of the many advances made in relations between Lutherans and Catholics in these past decades, not only through theological dialogue, but also through fraternal cooperation in a variety of pastoral settings, and above all, in the commitment to progress in spiritual ecumenism. In a certain sense, this last area constitutes the soul of our journey towards full communion, and permits us even now a foretaste of its results, however imperfect. In the measure in which we draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ in humility of spirit, we are certain to draw closer to one another. And, in the measure in which we ask the Lord for the gift of unity, we are sure that he will take us by the hand and be our guide, Francis said.
This year, as a result of a now fifty year old theological dialogue and with a view to the commemoration of the five-hundredth anniversary of the Reformation, the text of the Lutheran-Catholic Commission on Unity was published, with the significant title.......

So, is Martin Luther forgiven?
I can name, offhand, three groups of Lutherans that reject affiliation with the LWFederation.
Have Catholics and Lutherans been throwing bombs at each other or something?
Although the Church has never spoken definitively about the state of his soul, we have been singing the adapted versions of the hymns he wrote in mass for many years.
If he believed what he preached, of course.
I'm a Lutheran and I didn't know we still had a feud going on. I thought that was settled centuries ago.
Seriously though, if the Pope is really looking to increase religious peace, he might want to focus on another unnamed religion that has problems getting along with every other religion on the planet.
know = knew
Is the Pope then going to correct the errors of the Roman church? Oh, wait, this is the LWF he's dealing with. They don't care.
My wife was a Lutheran, she converted when she married , there isn't a lot of difference in the religions, so she says.
Luther seems to have been a Christian of great intellect.
I guess that beatification is still not on the horizon?
Official Lutheran Doctrine still sees the 'Harlot of Babylon' in Revelation as a future Pope.
Unless you want to tell me otherwise.
....which means what then? Are you a prisoner of old doctrine and a future Pope?
ZACKLY! And even so, if they threw them at church buildings, the casualties would be very low.....
I dont really care about any arguments, just simple facts as best I know them.
Good Luck
But what are the facts?
Maybe I'm just not trying hard enough, but I truly have a challenge in understanding where he is coming from and where he is taking the church. To your point, I concur completely.
heres a fact: You have some 26+ posts to complete strangers
this monday alone.
You must be a very lonely person.
Although I could be wrong, try chatting up some one else.
Celebrating an Apocalyptic Plague: Catholics and Lutherans Prepare to Commemorate 2017
Yea, right here. There was a thread (I kid you not) entitled "I hate sola scriptura". Which is exactly the same as saying "I hate Protestants".
To the credit of Free Republic apparently they took that thread down.
My comment was actually a dig at Muslims, but I didn't do it very cleverly.
Seriously, I suspect that different Christian sects and denominations may have decided it's good to stick together and try to forget about dogma, since many have dwindling memberships. Many mainline Protestant churches have already merged with each other.
The ALCC and the Missouri Synod have both released statements that they do not believe the Pope is the anti-Christ.
thats not anywhere near correct:
The LCMS holds that all "false teachers who teach contrary to Christ's Word are opponents of Christ" and, insofar as they do so, are anti-Christ.[16] The LCMS does not teach, nor has it ever taught, that any individual Pope as a person is to be identified with the Antichrist.[16] However, to the extent that the papacy continues to claim as official dogma the canons and decrees of the Council of Trent, the LCMS position is that the office of the papacy is the Antichrist.
Here's a fact: I post to issues and ideas.....I rarely pay attention to who I am posting to on line. I pay attention to peopel in person. Perhaps you are unclear as to what a message board is.
Speaking of lonely...reseraching another poster? I've never had that little to do. And again...no answer from you.
I don't care what anyone says, Ed.
You're all right!
I was married to my bride in a small Catholic church in S. Dakota nine years ago this week.
We sang "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" right out of the missal. The priest said "no" at first, till I showed him it was in the missal. Then he laughed all night about it.
My side is all LCMS. We out sang the organ.
Like your wife, I think more and more Lutherans are heading to the Catholic Church.
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 13:34-35
My side is all LCMS. We out sang the organ.
The best singers I know are all Lutherans!
5. The ALCC officially and emphatically declares that the Pope is not "the antichrist." He never was, and he never will be. We also hold that the Roman Catholic Church is not the apostate church of the antichrist or the whore of Babylon.
5. The ALCC officially and emphatically declares that the Pope is not "the antichrist." He never was, and he never will be. We also hold that the Roman Catholic Church is not the apostate church of the antichrist or the whore of Babylon.
A: The LCMS does not teach, nor has it ever taught, that any individual Pope as a person, is to be identified with the Antichrist. The historic view of LCMS on the Antichrist is summarized as follows by the Synod's Theological Commission:
The New Testament predicts that the church throughout its history will witness many antichrists (Matt. 24:5,23-24; Mark 13:6,21-22; Luke 21:8; 1 John 2:18,22; 4:3; 2 John 7). All false teachers who teach contrary to Christ's Word are opponents of Christ and, insofar as they do so, are anti-Christ.
However, the Scriptures also teach that there is one climactic "Anti-Christ" (Dan. 7:8,11, 20-21, 24-25; 11:36-45; 2 Thessalonians 2; 1 John 2:18; 4:3; Revelation 17-18). . . Concerning the historical identity of the Antichrist, we affirm the Lutheran Confessions' identification of the Antichrist with the office of the papacy whose official claims continue to correspond to the Scriptural marks listed above. It is important, however, that we observe the distinction which the Lutheran Confessors made between the office of the pope (papacy) and the individual men who fill that office. The latter could be Christians themselves. We do not presume to judge any person's heart. Also, we acknowledge the possibility that the historical form of the Antichrist could change. Of course, in that case another identified by these marks would rise.
Yea, right here. There was a thread (I kid you not) entitled I hate sola scriptura. Which is exactly the same as saying I hate Protestants. To the credit of Free Republic apparently they took that thread down.There was commentary somewhat recently which contained a photograph of BXVI, but it was him as a demon. I complained right away (and another Catholic FReeper did too), but weeks later, the picture remained. To me that is similar to saying the Catholic Church is demonic, as BXVI led the CC as pope. *sighs*
the pope is talking about the here and now — about us living. Catholics and Lutherans of today should not be righting each other. Debating, arguing yes, but not fighting
If someone was to say "i hate the eucharist" would you DManA say that that was akin to "i hate Catholics"?
"If it is you and me, it will be me. If it is Us and Them, then it will be US!".
In other words we can and do through pies at each other, but we are still on the same side. It took a long time to get past the point of arguing via rifle sights.
The Pope can and is wrong, as we all are. When we are wrong, we are anti christ.
Now he isn't (and hasn't been) THE anti christ.
Be careful. This Pope is off on some strange tangents. I wonder what he'll say today.
Lutheran World Federation, of which the liberal Evangelical Church US is a member.
Not the LCMS or the WELS. The ELCA.
Just sayin'.
...confusion reigns ping....
Thanks for a morning laugh!!
She obviously practices the Novus Ordo version of Catholicism and not Traditional Catholicism. Suggest that she check out traditio.com and Im sure shell never say that again. Traditional Catholicism id true Catholicism. Not fun, but holy. Of course, if shes actually looking for another version of the Protestant religion, shes found it in the Vatican II Church.

"A must for Dickens fans"
I would definitely recommend it to a friend, what kind of a friend would I be if I didn't!
Typically with Dickens the story is crammed with great characters. It's far too difficult to name only one favourite.
I loved that the book was quite simply well read, not too fast or too slow and I could follow the characters very easily.
It's Dickens, of course I had extreme reactions of every kind, I would have felt short-changed otherwise.
If you want a good book that's well read and will keep you entertained for a long time then look no further.
"Heroes and Villains"
Dickens' first pass at a romantic novel and a fine romance it is too, centred on a young hero of conspicuous gallantry and peopled with pantomime villains and damsels in distress by the seeming coachful. Simon Vance handles it all with wit and dexterity, relishing the various dialects and stages of youth or decrepitude in the array of characters. I can't resist mentioning in this context the preposterous provincial thespian Vincent Crummles, and wishing that Dickens had found more for him, through Vance, to say. Amid all the swashbuckling exploits, though, Dickens finds time to depict in Ralph Nickleby one of his most chilling portrayals of evil, a man as close to purely malicious as ever was committed to paper, but withal restrained, subdued, sardonic, and wholly believable. Some critics have found fault with the characterisation, and one can concede that point, particularly in relation to the impossibly cheery Cheeruble brothers and their almost transparent ward Madeline Bray. There is also a drawn out side story involving the fawning relatives of a petty government official with little connection to the main plot that would clearly be a candidate for "abridgment". However to make too much of these points would be carp unduly at what in the end is intended as, and succeeds extravagantly as, no more than a ripping yarn.
A Fun Book
When Nicholas is talking with Smyke as he is nearing deat.
Really captured the spirit of each character.
"Great Narrator, Classic Book"
The narrator's skill and representing the dozens of distinct characters in this book was admirable.
The story was captivating, keeping my interest until the last few pages.
This was my first Simon Vance audiobook.
No, given its astronomical length! It was very engaging, though.
Dickens is an interesting writer. This was my first Dickens book, and I noticed that he makes choices that would be frowned upon today (repeating words frequently, using adverbs after quotes). His storytelling, however, is very good, and it is easy to see why he is counted among the great novelists of his time.
I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry.
"Not my favourite Dickens"
But still worth a listen. The narrator does well and you really dislike the villains and love the heroes. Some of the women come across as a bit sappy but that's Dickens fault too.
"Dickens by the fire--what could be better?"
The best of Charles Dickens--a story I hadn't heard before, read beautiful with all of the accents and humor shining through. The villains are very bad and the heros are very good, and all of the plot strings come together in a happy ending. The timeliness of Dickens's stories is icing on the cake--yes, there are morals here for our times, and advice for how we face the "fiscal cliff".
If you love Charles Dickens, you might also try the Bronte sisters. Wuthering Heights, for instance.
many voices and accents. I love the characters!
A moment, not so much, but a character--I love Newman Noggs.
I'm now on a roll with Dickens through the Holiday season, and perhaps with all things British and
19th century. Dark times spawn great literature.

The discovery informatics department, which provides scientific information aiding the development of new medical drugs within AstraZeneca, rolled out the Lexiquest Mine application from software firm SPSS last year.
The department extracts information from repositories containing thousands of documents every day and it needed to improve its processes, explained Bryn Roberts, the firm's associate director of informatics.
"We were using traditional text word searches, but with thousands of documents to look through it could be a time-consuming process," he said. "The new system saves time but the main benefit is that it provides the ability to extract more information from the repositories."
Lexiquest, which is capable of analysing more than 250,000 pages of text per hour according to SPSS, provides researchers with the means to extract key concepts from thousands of documents and discovers the links between concepts.
Although return on investment is difficult to measure on research-based projects, AstraZeneca was convinced of the overall benefits of the software, Roberts said.
"It was not hard to sell to the management because it addresses a specific set of needs and it was relatively cheap to purchase," he said.
Looking ahead, AstraZeneca may deploy the software in other areas of the business and the company is interested in implementing image-based mining applications, Roberts said.
"Image-based mining will enable faster results and more information from each decision," he said.

how do i invest in gold

It really is rare as well, because when long as it has been around and also been commonly used for many different various applications, many of them ornamental, the time now has appeared where you'll find almost as countless industrial and commercial reasons like gold as you'll find personalized.
For example, today gold is utilized regarding much more than merely engagement rings, watches, pendants and so forth.

The New Amsterdams, The Lashes
Although brokenhearted fans may still be mourning the breakup of beloved emo band The Get-Up Kids, some solace can be found in singer Matt Pryor's former side project and now full-time band, The New Amsterdams, which recently released a new, acoustic-driven album. Far more mellow and lacking in pop hooks, The New Amsterdams are to The Get-Up Kids what Paul Westerberg's solo material is to The Replacements: not quite the same, but certainly the result of a more practiced and mature songwriter. Opening band The Lashes has enough hooks for the both of them, however, with their Cars-influenced pop rock songs that have garnered them labels like "The Strokes of Seattle." Once you see singer Ben Clark step up to the microphone, you'll wonder why this sixsome isn't already more popular -- particularly with the ladies.

Listen: Justin Bieber wants to be your 'Boyfriend' in new single
To the ecstatic, pants-wetting delight of millions of his pubescent fans, tonight Justin Bieber released "Boyfriend", the first single from his upcoming third album "Believe". And boy, does he know how to make them squeal:
"If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go/I can take you places you ain't never been before," he sings in the track's opening lines. "Baby take a chance or you'll never ever know/I got money in my hands that I'd really like to blow."
Just imagine it, girls: you and Justin, sitting hand-in-hand in front of a roaring fire while gazing deeply into each other's eyes and...dipping bread cubes into a simmering pot of melted cheese?
"Swag swag swag, on you/Chillin by the fire while we eatin' fondue," he continues. Mmm, yummy!
The greatest part of it is, even though "Boyfriend" is essentially the same exact song Bieber has been singing since he first started his young career, none of his fans are going to care one iota. Sure, there are a couple of isolated moments of specificity - at one point he hilariously intones, "I could be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe" - but the basic message remains the same:
"If I was your boyfriend, never let you go/Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone..."
My grade for the track: D. It may be effective, but it's also terrible.
After listening to the song below, you can rate it for yourself at top left!

"Boyfriend" is now available for purchase on iTunes.

This review is from: Rosewill RHRC-13001 - Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker - 5.5 Cups Uncooked / 11 Cups Cooked
Pros: I've had this since last spring and I've been using it a couple times a week.
Nicely built. It looks and feels much more expensive than it is. The 3D heating really works and the rice turns out wonderful, evenly cooked with no scorching even when cooking just one of the enclosed cups. It also comes with a detachable IEC type cord which is rather short, but can be replaced easily with any length you might need.
The inside pot is relatively thick and the non-stick coating is very heavy with no signs of wear. Just never use metal utensils
Cons: I often cook brown rice, but their is no setting for it. The "brown" setting is to slightly scorch white rice for Chinese clay pot style dishes, but there is a work around:
I load in the rice with water or stock and whatever oil I might be using, then I set the menu to "reheat" and start it up. I then leave it for 30 minutes, total. At about 5 minutes, it will beep. Just leave it. It will switch to "keep warm for the remaining time. When the time is up, just switch the menu to "regular" and cook as usual.
All of these East Asian rice cookers, even the Tigers and Zojurushis, are not known for cooking Indian basmati rice well. It overcooks it, but again, there's a work around:
An Indian fellow on youtube demonstrated this with a Tiger cooker and it works great with the Rosewill as well. Rinse the rice well, warm water at fist really helps, then cook as usual with water, ghee or butter and a little salt, but set a kitchen timer for 23 minutes. At this time the steam should be pouring out the top. Shut the cooker off and let it sit 10-15 minutes. The rice will be light and fluffy with just the right firmness.
One odd thing is that the clock keeps really bad time and adds a couple minutes a week, which is surprising with very accurate and cheap quartz movements being available.
Other Thoughts: I'm really glad I got one. It makes better rice much more easily than I can on the range, and what a great price!!
I have yet to try any "meal in a pot" recipes or the browning function, but this looks intriguing.
This review is from: Harman Kardon HARKAR CL-Z Headphones
Pros: Excellent, balanced sound.
Slick, well executed design.
Solid, precice construction.
Extra features if you roll with Apple.
Cons: Apple specific, but still usable without all cotrol features in Android.
Other Thoughts: I used to be an obsessive audiophile, and I still apreciate good sound. When I saw these refurb phones I liked the looks and I consider HK to be a reliable maker of quality products. I only decided to give them a try after searching out reviews elswhere. These were often desribed as good phones for $200 and having accurate, smooth sound.
I'm really glad I grabbed them. They call them "remanufactured" but, aside from being in OEM style packing (very well packed BTW), they look and work like new retail merchandise.
The build quality is every bit as good as they look, very mid-centuy mod like a classic Eames lounge chair. What looks like metal really is sand-blasted steel!! My main concern is sound, for over ear phones, I've been a Grado fan. They sound wonderful but the open design limits where they can be used. These closed ear cans sound stunning, particularly the mids, but I was really surprised at what I consider supurb bass, tight, contolled, and extended. When the low notes hit in a pipe organ recording of Bach's famed "Bald Mountain" I was shocked. The solid constriction and memory foam gives very good isolation for a passive design, close to in-ear buds.
I've only had a chance to listen to them with a Barnes & Noble NOOK HD+ rooted to Cyanogen Mod "Kit-Kat". I've found it a decent source but not a high-end phone amp by any stretch. Nonetheless, I decided to submit this review sooner rather than later because this great deal is unlikely to last.
This review is from: Ooma Telo VoIP Internet Voice Home Phone Service Box-Factory Recertified
Pros: Works like a land line with 911 support, great clarity etc.
Cons: A regular land line usually works in a power outage with a corded set.
Other Thoughts: I've had mine for something more than a year and a half. I guess it's a good sign that I can't remember exactly. I set it up and forgot about it. I'm using a Panasonic cordless system with three handsets.
You can add a Google Voice number, great for a "throwaway" number or for using on wifi devices for free calling.
I'm using the basic tax-only service. Check out Ooma's site for the skinny on the sevice options. Also, they have an active and helpful user forum.

The Confederations Cup is often overlooked by fans who believe the season comes to an end when the final whistle blows on the Champions League, and when the Championship playoffs reach their dramatic conclusion.
However, as recent editions have shown, the concentrated collection of excellence that often exists among participants, and the intense nature of competition of the tournament can often afford fans both a fascinating look at some of the world's finest national sides and the chance to see some unlikely matchups and experimental outlooks.
Group A features traditional heavyweights Brazil--the hosts, and Italy, the European Championship's runners-up. They will both be competing against Asian cup winners Japan and CONCACAF Gold Cup winners Mexico.
Group B will see Spain-the world and European champions, take on the emerging force of Nigeria, fresh from their recent Cup of Nations victory, and Uruguay, who upset the odds to seal the 2011 Copa America.
The three continental forces will be joined by Tahiti, an unlikely addition perhaps, but they earned their place at the high table by winning last year's OFC Nations Cup.
The event will also offer a chance for the world to get a glimpse of the progress of Brazil's stadia and infrastructure ahead of next summer's World Cup, and perhaps more pertinently, the deadlines of the new year.
Read on to discover my picks for the four semifinal berths, and my prediction for the tournament's outright winner.

I have an awesome Miror B. team in NU I made.
It is pretty good. I can vouch for it.
But Here's mine I experiment with:
Politoed (M) @ Mystic Water
Trait: Drizzle
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Surf
- Psychic
- Scald
- Ice Beam
Toxicroak @ Leftovers
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk
Lonely Nature
- Ice Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Drain Punch
- Stone Edge
Accelgor @ Focus Sash
Trait: Hydration
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
- Bug Buzz
- U-turn
- Focus Blast
- Energy Ball
Alakazam @ TwistedSpoon
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball

- Focus Blast
- Energy Ball
Flygon @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature

- Stone Edge
Magnezone @ Leftovers
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature
- Thunder
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Reflect
I switch out Magnezone with Ferrothorn depending on how I feel but Magnezone has been a mainstay due to his Thunder ability. Rotom-W is also an excellent addition for a sweeper. Fire attacks are weaker so either Ferrothorn or Magnezone will be an excellent wall.
I also have Flygon on there because I love using him over Garchomp for personal reasons. Keep in mind I said I experiment with which is why some move coverages might be questionable.
pbandjames 3 years ago#4
Arcanine with Sunny Day, Flamethrower, Solarbeam, and Morning Sun. Hurray. Also, Ninetales with Drought.
Game news is the best news.
Thepenguinking2 3 years ago#5
Politoed obviously.
Jirachi with thunder. Ultimate water type killer.
Blastoise with Rain Dish
Whatever you want (I personally use a lvl 1 aron with sturdy, endeavor and a shell bell.)
Too lazy to post movesets, items or natures.
But that's my rain team.
GENERATION 23: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.

Moves: Fire Blast, Energy Ball, Hidden Power (Fighting), Psyshock
Venusar w/ Life Orb

Forretress w/ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252HP/4Atk/252Def (0 Spd IVs)
Moves: Rapid Spin, Gyro Ball, Stealth Rock, Volt Switch
You could replace Kingdra with a Focus Sash Dugtrio to trap other weather-bringers for you. Gothetelle is another nice option. Personally, for that, I rather like Heatran. This is the set I use:
Heatran w/ Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252HP/4Sp.Atk/252Sp.Def
Moves: Magma Storm, Toxic, Substitute, Sunny Day
It's good for catching Frogs, but it can't do a thing against other Heatran. It also doesn't enjoy Hippowdon and Tyranitar Earthquakes.
3DS FC: 2578-3118-6645 PSN: PowahBoxers
I support the Fairy-type.

Alexander Hamilton's beany guacamole dip: 18 days to go
With the final debate behind us (MetaFilter), many people registered and many states now voting, we're into the last few weeks of this increasingly globally watched 2016 US election. These are unhappy days for Donald, with that debate not going well for him and launching a hundred t-shirt designs, the map shrinking, likely voters not helping, and being booed at a charity dinner; sad! Hillary, at increasingly shorter odds to win, seems to be having a better time, while Joe has a hot car (MetaFilter) and Evan McMullin (who) (twitter) continues to make the presidential vote in Utah more interesting. But it's not just the presidency up for election; there's the Senate (538 forecast), House, and various measures such as the minimum wage, and 17 propositions in California (also on MetaFilter), plus a crucial vote in Westport. [more inside]
The disrespect of our ambitions and intellect
Fifteen months ago, Donald declared and we commented; two months earlier, Hillary did likewise. And now, here we are near the end of an divisive and damaging election. As Donald's campaign struggles under many allegations [BBC] [NBC News] [Guardian] [New York Times] and increased conversation on abuse, Hillary pulls out a 7 point lead in a Fox poll, a gap in the Real Clear Politics poll average and a large victory chance in 538 (though, cautionary words about poll bounces). Michelle Obama spoke about the language of this election (FPP title from her speech) [BBC] [New Yorker] [Washington Post] and in The Guardian: "She lent her extraordinary ability to say what people are feeling to every English-speaking woman in the world". Elsewhere, Trump-stooge Chris Christie is facing a criminal summons and Utah could be a three-way race which leads to a small possibility of President Evan. [more inside]
...a moment in history where it is almost hard to catch your breath.
Today, the Hillary Clinton campaign launched a new "With Her" podcast, chronicling her historic run for office. Clinton also released her 2015 tax returns while Sen. Tim Kaine released 10 years' worth of his. With just 87 days until Election Day, 538's "Election Forecast" looks dire for Republican nominee Donald Trump, who continues to rely on wild, desperate claims to capture each news cycle.
How To Vote In Every State
In order to help people get out and vote this coming election the VLogBrothers havre created How To Vote In Every State: a YouTube channel with videos detailing how to register and vote in each state (as well as military personnel, unincorporated territories and abroad, and DC residents.)

US Presidential Election Roundup: But If You Had to Choose
Sanders endorses Clinton. Trump rebukes Ginsberg. RNC prepares for their convention in Cleveland. Pundits debate the best VP choice for Trump.
The campaign lurches into the summer
Based on findings from experiments in political science, BuzzFeed News has designed what should be a powerful get-out-the-vote message. With less than a month before the Democrats get their convention started in Philadelphia, speculation on Secretary Clinton's running mate is rampant, and "Bernie Sanders [said] he is prepared for a floor fight at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia if the party doesn't take more progressive stances on trade, the minimum wage, climate change and other issues in its platform." [more inside]
The last primary
Tomorrow's primary in Washington, D.C. will mark the final presidential primary of 2016. Then, Secretary Clinton and Sen. Sanders are set to meet Tuesday night. [more inside]
We are on the brink of a historic moment...
With 694 delegates up for grabs between five primaries and a caucus, it has been widely predicted that Secretary Clinton would surpass the 2383 delegate threshold needed to clinch the democratic presidential nomination today. Jumping the gun, The Associated Press is reporting that, by their count, Clinton has already reached this number. Senator Sanders' campaign has condemned the media for its "rush to judgement" and the Clinton campaign has simply said "we still have work to do". [more inside]

What variety of cheese would Donald be? The 2016 US election continues.
With only six months left in the all-too-brief election campaign, three candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties remain. In the red corner, Donald has vanquished Ben, Bobby, Carly, Chris, George, Jeb, Jim, John, Lindsey, Marco, Mike, Rand, Rick, the other Rick, Scott, and Ted. In the blue corner, Bernie and Hillary have vanquished Jim, Lawrence, Lincoln and Martin. However, there is pessimism about whether Donald can win the general, with bookmaker odds stabilizing and keeping Hillary as the clear favorite. Elsewhere, Sarah doesn't like Paul, Lindsey is glad he isn't in Area 51, Gary Johnson "could" become POTUS, and Jeb sort-of returns. Meanwhile, Bernie collects more delegates in Washington state, while Hillary wins the Guam caucus. And, on the island of his mother's birth, war has broken out between rival facebook groups for and against Donald. [more inside]
Crossing the Delaware: five primaries in the US election
With less than 200 days before deciding who will be POTUS #45, five states hold primaries today: Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Following the problems with voting in New York, hopefully there won't be so many this week, although location limitations do not bode well. Since the New York primaries, Ted has cut a deal with John but thinks the convention will be contested, people are eyeing Bernie's email address book, Donald buys a ticket to Seattle but gets his historical election facts wrong while encouraging an academic discipline, John corners the astronaut demographic, Hillary rejects a non-endorsement, Joe is focusing on the Senate, and the new first rule of Abe Club is that there is no more Abe Club. [more inside]
Twirling towards freedom: the US election - New York primaries
In the endurance test that is the 2016 US presidential election, we finally come to New York State where all of the polling stations are now open. The state consists of not only the city famed for fine dining but also the mainly rural upstate region. There's a lot of delegates here; Ballotpedia has information about the Democratic and Republican allocations. Since last time, Paul said "Nope", GOP leaders said "Meh" followed by "Rules?", Washington Democrats had their own local endurance test, Virgin Islands Republicans had an unpleasant meeting, Bernie visited the Vatican, Hillary visited Staten Island (as did Donald), the Democratic candidates debated, Donald is figuring out West Virginia, Ted appears very conservative, and a grumpy John is aiming for second. [more inside]
It's still only April: the US election drags ever onwards
As we enter the last 30 weeks of the election campaign, delegate talk becomes more prevalent. On the Republican side, current Donald (future Donald) did not have a good Saturday in Colorado and South Carolina, with Cruz picking up delegates, and Kasich seeing a path despite lacking delegates. On the Democratic side, Bernie's recent good run has added to his count, although he remains behind Hillary. Voter suppression continues to be a strong issue, while Wikipedia has some interesting data on historical voter turnout. Meanwhile, Paul Ryan may or may not be running, while Kevin Spacey, who plays Frank Underwood in House of Cards series, says some real-life presidential candidates 'appear to be fictional'. [more inside]
After this it's the midterms: April's US election primaries
And then there were five. On the Democratic party side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders remain. On the Republican party side, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Donald Trump remain. But there's also the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, and lots of other parties. The dates for candidate debates are fluid; for example there may be a Democratic debate on April 14th. In other election news, the New York Times thinks that Candidate Trump would be "Wildly unpopular", while the Washington Post thinks that Republicans are gaming the voting system in their favor. Cruz and Sanders lead in Wisconsin polls, Kasich enjoys a beer, and the BBC describes five ways the Republican bloodbath could end. [more inside]

Super Tuesday: it's going to be huge
The March 1st round of voting in US primaries and caucuses is today. Since 1988, no candidate has won his party's nomination without winning Super Tuesday. With early voting and absentee voting already happening, the people of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia will turn out for both Republicans and Democrats. Republicans in Alaska will hold caucuses, as will Democrats in Colorado. Democrats in American Samoa also nominate. On the Republican side, with 661 delegates to be allocated today, Donald Trump currently holds the delegate lead. On the Democrat side, with 865 delegates to be delegated today, Hillary Clinton currently holds the delegate lead. (A more visual delegate tracker) The actual POTUS election odds continue to make Hillary the favorite, from Donald with the rest at long odds. Politico has more information on today, as does the Wall Street Journal and 538. With variable weather for voters, Nate Silver being cautious about assumptions and Obama's surprise endorsement of Trump, it's all to play for.
The Patronage and Cronyism of the "Hillary Clinton Victory Fund"
Blogger suggests that a win For Hillary Clinton's methods on the way to the White House is a loss for participatory democracy. Alongside the quiet rollback of Obama's ban on contributions from federal lobbyists within the DNC comes what appears to be a novel tactic to maintain control of the nomination process by the Democratic establishment or HRC: the formation of fundraising agreements between HRC and state Democratic parties. The implications for participatory democracy do not seem good given that state parties with their success financially tied to HRC's success must oversee very narrow caucuses and primaries.

2014 midterm elections: keeping "Will Hillary Run?" off the front pages
(until wednesday). Yes, it's election day in the USA on Tuesday 4th November, with a projected cost of $3.67 billion. "During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested; along with 38 state and territorial governorships, 46 state legislatures (except Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia), four territorial legislatures and numerous state and local races." The betting markets currently have the Republicans significant favorites to take the Senate and overwhelming favorites to take the House. FiveThirtyEight indicates the same, but with many close Gubernatorial races. Electoral-vote.com currently project the senate at Dem 48, Ties 1, GOP 51. [more inside]

They deserve better
The poor in America: In need of help Some 15% of Americans (around 46.2m people) live below the poverty line, as Ms Hamilton does. You have to go back to the early 1960s—before Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programmes—to find a significantly higher rate. Many more, like Ms Dunham, have incomes above the poverty line but nevertheless cannot meet their families' basic monthly needs, and there are signs that their number is growing. Once upon a time the fates of these people weighed heavily on American politicians. Ronald Reagan boasted about helping the poor by freeing them from having to pay federal income tax. Jack Kemp, Bob Dole's running-mate in 1996, sought to spearhead a "new war on poverty." George W. Bush called "deep, persistent poverty…unworthy of our nation's promise". No longer. Budgets are tight and the safety net is expensive. Mitt Romney famously said he was not "concerned about the very poor" because they have a safety net to take care of them. Mr Obama's second-term plan mentioned poverty once, and on the trail he spoke gingerly of "those aspiring to the middle class". "Poor" is a four-letter word.

My Fair Election crowd-sources pollwatching: "We hope that this information will be used by citizens, journalists, and election officials to identify the worst polling places and work to fix them. We hope that officials in charge of polling places with long lines or otherwise operate poorly will be embarrassed, held to account, and so motivated to do a better job."

United States of Clusterfuck
"Republicans stand the chance of controlling Congress for the rest of the decade if they don't screw it up."
"The Republicans' dominance in races throughout the country in the 2010 elections eviscerated the Democrats' farm teams in state after state." Former Bill Clinton political director Doug Sosnik offers an 8-page analysis of the U.S. election that discusses the likelihood of an Obama win, the chances of a complete Republican takeover of Congress, continued Republican dominance of governorships and state legislatures for the rest of the decade, and more. There's also a related slideshow. [more inside]
"...the 2012 campaign still looks like a titanic collision between the economy and demography."
In 2008, the National Journal released The Hidden History of the American Electorate, an analysis of exit poll demographics conducted by multiple news organizations from US presidential elections between 1988 and 2004. The study looked for "pressure points in the electorate": trends which were likely to decide the outcome of the 2008 presidential election. They've released an update for 2012, by adding exit poll results from the 1980, 1984, and 2008 presidential elections. It gives a more comprehensive look at voting trends over a 32 year period of the groups whom they believe are likely to influence the outcome in November.

The beginning of tyranny.
Last year, The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU's Law School released a report (pdf) detailing new, more restrictive state laws that affect voting rights and are likely to impact the outcome of the 2012 elections. The restrictions "fall most heavily on young, minority, and low-income voters, as well as on voters with disabilities." On August 3rd, 2012, they updated their analysis with a pdf of passed and pending State government legislation. Their conclusion: after a century in which the United States "expanded the franchise and knocked down myriad barriers to full electoral participation... that momentum [has] abruptly shifted."

Tie game. Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. Two outs. Three balls. Two strikes. And the pitch...
In less than an hour, the Supreme Court will hand down its final judgment in what has become one of the most crucial legal battles of our time: the constitutionality of President Obama's landmark health care reform law. The product of a strict party line vote following a
year century of debate, disinformation, and tense legislative wrangling, the Affordable Care Act would (among other popular reforms) require all Americans to buy insurance coverage by 2014, broadening the risk pool for the benefit of those with pre-existing conditions.
The fate of this "individual mandate," bitterly opposed by Republicans despite its similarity to past plans touted by conservatives (including presidential contender Mitt Romney) is the central question facing the justices today. If the conservative majority takes the dramatic step of striking down the mandate, the law will be toothless, and in danger of wholesale reversal, rendering millions uninsured, dealing a crippling blow to the president's re-election hopes, and possibly endangering the federal regulatory state.
But despite the pessimism of bettors, some believe the Court will demur, wary of damaging its already-fragile reputation with another partisan 5-4 decision. But those who know don't talk, and those who talk don't know. Watch the SCOTUSblog liveblog for updates, Q&A, and analysis as the truth finally comes out shortly after 10 a.m. EST.

Scoops, Swoops, and Perry's "Oops."
Texas Governor and GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry is booked on all the major morning shows tomorrow, and with good reason. After two months of gaffes, impolitic stands, and bizarre speeches that quickly waned his once-strong odds of winning the Republican nomination, Perry went into Wednesday's CNBC debate sorely needing a win... only to deliver a tortuous, cringingly forgetful attempt [video] to recall just which three cabinet departments he'd vowed to abolish, a stunning failure political scientist Larry Sabato deemed "the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate" in his memory. While Perry's slow-motion flameout has boosted the fortunes of dark horse candidate Herman Cain, the unlikely challenger is facing troubles of his own in a volley of sexual harassment claims -- an oddly ineffective scandal Cain is doing his best to (somewhat dubiously) disavow. If Cain collapses, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich may reap the benefits, but his moribund campaign has issues of its own. Pawlenty, Bachmann, Perry, Christie, Cain, Gingrich... the base is loathe to rally round him, but after so many failed, flawed, or forfeited challenges, can anyone topple Mitt Romney?

Pencils down.
It's Election Day in America, and as is so often the case in this fickle land, the results of the 2010 midterm elections are up in the air. Although President Obama's party is expected to suffer significant losses, record numbers of districts remain competitive, and even minute errors in polling could mean the difference between a historic Republican landslide and an unexpectedly robust Democratic defense. At stake are control of not just the Senate and House, but myriad state and local offices, many of which will play key roles in the dynamics of the 2012 presidential race -- and, more subtly but no less crucially, the once-in-a-decade congressional redistricting process. Much uncertainty surrounds the behavior of the electorate -- how many will turn out, and how informed will they be? To help move those statistics in the right direction, look inside for voter guides, national and state fact checkers, and an assortment of other resources to keep tabs on as the results roll in.

Elections are fun!
Welcome to The Sacramento County Republican Party. The official website has removed content calling for Obama to be waterboarded. But it still contains fake quotes supposedly from Obama's memoir. In this political climate, 33% of voters do not identify Obama as Christian, and 8% believe he is Muslim. Yet, the polls predict a landslide, hinted at by early voting. McCain needs something spectacular, and he may be regretting his decision to invoke Bill Ayers in tonight's debate; and perhaps other things.

Presidential Betting Market Acting a Little Oddly
Nate Silver, the proprietor of the fantastic electoral projection site FiveThirtyEight.com, notices that the presidential betting market on Intrade is behaving very oddly: "[S]ome individual trader or some small group of traders are shorting all the Obama contacts in bulk and resetting the entire market. The markets then organically climb back upward until the rogue trader strikes again six or eight hours later." [more inside]

A Speech So Stirring It Converted Pat Buchanan
On the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Barack Obama accepted the nomination of the Democratic Party to be their Presidential candidate with a speech so well-crafted that Pat bloody Buchanan couldn't stop raving about it, and had to be cut off by his fellow broadcasters. It was an occasion so historic that McCain chose to release an ad congratulating his opponent.
