What a sweet sweet prince! I love his little rolls! And, his hair! I have a 16 month old little boy that was born with a head full of dark hair like his, he is our first and I couldn't believe how people were in awe of how much hair he had and never lost any of it. Now I look around when I drop him off at day care and he had/has more hair than most 2 year olds! He's too cute for words! We use the J&J lavender for bath/bed time and LOVE it!ReplyDelete

Allegations surfaced on Friday that former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist paid two men to conceal gay affairs.
The charges were revealed in documentsobtained by local station WTSP, relating to the investigation of former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer.
Controversy swirling around the connection between Greer and Crist is nothing new. During his Republican-turned-independent Senate campaign in 2010, Cristvehemently denied he had any knowledge of Greer's alleged scheme to divert state party funds to pay for his own personal expenses. Greer attorney Damon Chase, however, said at the time that the former governor signed off on the plan.

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Vince Oghobaase, DT, Duke
It is not every day that the Duke Blue Devils have a legitimate first day draft pick on their hands, at least in football. Vince Oghobaase probably could have declared for the NFL draft last year and been a first or second round selection. As a freshman in 2006, Oghobaase started all 12 games for Duke and earned a variety of All-Freshman accolades. Heading into the 2009 campaign, he has not missed a start since. However, a foot injury did keep him out of the lineup for a couple of early games in the 2009 campaign and have made his numbers five games into the 2009 season slightly disappointing. Oghobaase does have a surprising amount of agility, plenty of smarts and skills that cannot be matched by most defensive tackles. It is not like he lacks in strength, but his strength will need to improve before he can dominate the NFL; that is something he has been working on. Duke is doing a decent job this season after losing to Richmond in the first week of the season. They even won their first conference road game since 2003 and with Oghobaase back at full strength, the Blue Devils could be one of the few positive stories in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Oghobaase will get plenty of the credit. 1/17 Update: Duke had some success in the middle of the 2009 campaign, but lost their last four games with bowl eligibility on the line. Part of the problem was Oghobaase's inconsistency following his injury. At times he was dominating and did tally 7.5 tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks on the year in just eight games, but his overall lack of production has dropped his draft stock. Oghobaase is still at least a second round talent, but he needs to prove that he can stay consistent during Senior Week.

Collections Librarian: Graham Henderson (x3514)
The collection development policy for Africana Studies guides the development and management of Africana Studies materials in the Wellesley College Library. This policy is for use by the Wellesley College community and the Africana Studies collections librarian. Faculty and students are encouraged to provide recommendations for library materials.
General purpose of the collection
Africana Studies materials in the Wellesley College Library support the Africana Studies department curriculum. The materials provide for undergraduate study, faculty instruction, and basic faculty research.
The Africana Studies collection supports each of the three major tracks in the Africana Studies major-Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States.
The Africana Studies curriculum provides students with an interdisciplinary exposure to the experiences of Africana people, past and present. Through courses in history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, religion and the creative arts (especially literature), students examine the African world and the relationship between Africana people and the larger world system. As such, the Africana Studies collection contains works in history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and literature. In addition, since the curriculum is heavily focused on the Caribbean and the African Diaspora, the collection draws on collections in other Wellesley College departments such as English, History, Sociology, Anthropology, and Political Science.
Formats in the Africana Studies collection include books, periodicals, electronic resources, and video recordings. The majority of these circulate to students, faculty, and staff.
Description of the collection
1. Readership level: The Africana Studies collection consists primarily of works written for the advanced undergraduate level and for basic faculty research. Graduate- and research-level publications are collected selectively.
2. Languages collected or excluded: The majority of the collection are English-language, although the collection contains a number of French titles.
3. Geographical areas covered by the collections in terms of intellectual content, publication sources, or both, and specific areas excluded, as appropriate: The majority of acquisitions cover the geographical areas of Africa, the United States, and the Caribbean. Other geographic areas are acquired selectively.
4. Chronological periods collected in terms of publication dates, and specific periods excluded, as appropriate: The collection emphasizes current material, with the primary purpose of supporting faculty and student research and coursework. Older imprints are acquired selectively, usually as replacements for classic works, or at the specific request of a student or faculty member.
5. Chronological periods covered by the collection in terms of intellectual content, movement, or schools: All chronological periods are included.
Reference: Reference material for Africana Studies is purchased by the Africana Studies collections librarian for Research and Instruction and follows the general subject parameters of the Africana Studies collections policy. The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following types of material: biographies, dictionaries/thesauri/nomenclature aids, encyclopedias, style and/or literature guides, and occasional electronic search aids and directories which support curricular or related professional programs.
General subject boundaries and library locations
Africana Studies materials are housed in Clapp Library.
1. Special Subject Emphases: Traditionally, the Africana Studies collection has emphasized African American cultural studies: literature, history, education, biographies of African Americans, past and present, the African Diaspora, African American religion, sociology of African Americans, materials relating to African American women.
2. Current Collecting Priorities: In addition to African American cultural studies, priority is given to materials on peoples of African descent in the Caribbean, Africa, and Latin America.
3. Subjects Collected Selectively: Materials on peoples of African descent in Europe and other areas of the world not listed above.
Related subjects and interdisciplinary relationships
American Studies: The American Studies collections librarian supplements the Africana Studies collection by selecting materials pertaining to African-American culture and history.
Anthropology: The Anthropology collections librarian selects materials pertaining to physical anthropology, social anthropology, and archaeology of Africa and the Caribbean.
Art: The Art collections librarian selects materials pertaining to the art of Africa and the Caribbean.
Economics: The Economics collections librarian selects materials pertaining to the economic aspects of Africa and the Caribbean.
English: The English collections librarian selects materials pertaining to African-American literature.
History: The History collections librarian selects materials pertaining to historical aspects of Africa and the Caribbean.
Music: The Music collections librarian selects materials pertaining to the music of Africa and the Caribbean.
Philosophy: The Philosophy collections librarian selects materials pertaining to philosophers and philosophical aspects of Africa and the Caribbean.

Valley of Despire
For seven days in May, a price rally raised hopes that the stock market might finally be pulling out of its five-month slide. But that was two weeks ago, and last week the drop resumed.
Sour suspicions about Watergate, the continued weakness of the dollar, the soaring price of goldup to a record $118.75 an ounce in Londonand the continued rise of inflation and interest rates combined to hammer the Dow Jones industrial average down 37 points, to 894. After a brief moment of sunshine, Wall Street again became a valley...

Now that it's January, I am bombarded with a plethora of fitness and/or health missions around every corner. Whether it be in my job, or with friends or family and their NY resolutions, or the news talking about the latest diets and exercise, and even my pinterest reel has jumped on board- my feed is filled over and over again with exercise moves to tighten the belly, butt, and abs, as well as recipes for weight loss (mostly of the liquid form- and all wrong, might I add). And, let us not forget the perfect formula for diminishing the dreaded 'love-handles'.. Yep- you can find anything on the internet.

I really haven't made any resolutions.. I never do, to be honest. But now, post-babies, I really feel the need to get back into the swing of things and doing what I used to do- like actually cooking for me and my Fireman in a regular basis. While in bed rest I was restricted from the kitchen and my Fireman happily stepped in to do the shopping and the cooking and did an outstanding job in providing for us where I once did. But, we really relied on easy, convenient quick meals (chicken, starch, and frozen vegetables hit the table most often) and definitely ordered pizza a time or two.
I was eager to meal plan for the first time and get the ball rolling. I almost felt out of my element going to the grocery store. Not to mention actually making the trip- I hadn't driven a car since August 30th (yes, seriously), It was so weird. I drove without the radio and didn't even realize it until I reached a stop light halfway to Market Street.
When meal planning, often I resort to my CL magazines for inspiration, but I most often will scroll through my recent 'pins' on pinterest to see if anything sparks my fancy for cooking up. Some important criteria for my meal inspirations? I really seek out healthy- or with potential to be made healthier- and of course heavy on the vegetables and whole grains. We adore vegetables of any kind in this house. I've even made a believer out of my Fireman of the amazing-ness of the Brussels Sprout.
That recipe title catch your eye… err, belly? Yea. Me too. Totally playing my heart-strings and making me hungry just thinking about how yummy-diddly-umptious it was. I'm all about the b'squash this time of year, and throw Mexican in there with it, and I'm in!
I took the easy route and used pre-chopped butternut squash that was in the prepared vegetables area of my grocery's produce section. Probably saved me a good 10 minutes of chopping. Feel free to garnish with whatever you please – I chose to use more fresh tomato, cilantro, and diced purple onion. Black olives would be awesome over top, too!
Adapted from Ambitious Kitchen
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 cups diced, peeled butternut squash
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 (15 ounce) can no salt added black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 8 white or yellow corn tortillas, cut into thick strips
- 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup reduced-fat colby jack, divided
- Garnish: cilantro, tomatoes, and low-fat sour cream, for serving
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large oven-proof skillet. Add onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant. Add cubed squash, cumin and chili powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is fork tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Next add the black beans, corn tortilla pieces, and can of enchilada sauce and stir to combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle in 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir again and simmer for a few minutes. Turn on your oven broiler to high. Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the enchilada mixture and place in oven under broiler for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla edges become a tiny golden brown. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Feel free to add in cilantro. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce!

(PHILADELPHIA) – Researchers at the University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered
that common inhaled anesthetics increase
the number of amyloid plaques in
the brains of animals, which might accelerate the onset of neurodegenerative diseases
like Alzheimer's. Roderic
Eckenhoff, MD, Vice Chair of Research
in the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Anesthesia
and Critical Care, and his co-authors, report their findings
in the March 7th online edition of Neurobiology
of Aging.
Every year over 100 million people undergo surgery worldwide,
most under general
anesthesia with an inhaled drug. These drugs
clearly affect cognitive ability at least in the short term, but
the growing concern is that inhaled anesthetics may affect a person
well beyond the perioperative period, even permanently. Several
factors appear to play a role in this subtle loss of cognitive
ability, most notably age.
A specific effect of these drugs on dementias like Alzheimer's
disease, though suspected for many years, has only been recently
supported by data. In 2003, Eckenhoff's group showed that
the inhaled anesthetics enhance the aggregation and cytotoxicity
of the amyloid beta peptide. Just last month, a study reported
that these drugs also enhance the production of amyloid beta in
isolated cells. But these protein and cell culture studies are
a long way from showing that an effect occurs in vivo. This new
study provides the first evidence that the predicted effect occurs
in animals.
"This animal study data suggests that we have to at least
consider the possibility that anesthetics accelerate certain neurodegenerative
disorders," said Eckenhoff. "In the field of Alzheimer's
research, most effort is focused on delaying, not curing the disease.
A delay in the onset of Alzheimer's disease of only three
to five years would be considered a success. Therefore, if commonly
used drugs, like anesthetics, are accelerating this disorder, even
by a few years, then a similar success might follow even small
changes in the care of the operative patient."
Mice don't naturally get Alzheimer's, so the animals
in this study were genetically engineered to express the human
protein responsible, called amyloid
beta. "These mice develop
a syndrome with many features of the human disease," explains
Eckenhoff. Post-doctoral fellow and first author Shannon
Bianchi, MD, exposed "middle-aged" Alzheimer
mice to anesthetics at low to moderate concentrations for two hours
a day over a total of five days, not unusual for a clinical scenario.
The cognitive abilities of the mice were then analyzed using standard
behavioral tests, and their brains were examined for plaque and
cell death.
"Compared to controls, the anesthesia did not appear to
worsen cognitive ability, which was already considerably compromised
at this age, but it did accelerate amyloid beta aggregation and
plaque appearance," said corresponding author Maryellen
Eckenhoff, PhD. "We need to test whether anesthetic
at earlier, presymptomatic stages, might accelerate both cognitive
loss and plaque." This is the main cause of concern because
a large fraction of clinical patients receiving inhaled anesthetics
during surgery are older, but presymptomatic individuals.
Are there anesthetics that do not accelerate plaque? "We
think so, but far more research is necessary to show this with
any confidence. We have to take this one step at a time – a
problem has still not been demonstrated in humans." It is
important to remember that this effect is likely to be subtle,
especially with brief surgical procedures, so the risk of not having
needed surgery may exceed any potential risk from this still unproven
effect. But this latest study adds a little urgency to the effort
to find out. "If inhaled anesthetics are contributing to
the rise and early onset of this devastating disease then we need
to know, and soon," concludes Eckenhoff.

Back on August 1, this House, with a bipartisan vote, passed a bill that would have avoided this fiscal cliff. It would have protected every American family from seeing a tax increase. The bill passed on August 1, and it's been sitting over in the Senate every day since then. But here we are on New Year's Eve, and the Senate is finally rolling up their sleeves and working to avoid this crisis.
Well, here we are at another crisis, and, unfortunately, as we look towards this New Year tomorrow, this is not the last time that we may be here. We passed a budget here in the House months ago. It's been more than 3 years since the Senate passed a budget, yet months from now we'll be hearing another cliff approaching of a government shutdown because the Senate hasn't passed a budget.
It's time for the Senate to start doing their work and stop creating these crises and forcing American families to wonder what's going to happen next and what's going to be the next crisis. We should not have any American family facing a tax increase. Let's get the American economy on track.

Amy Adams: Best and Worst Dressed at the 2010 Golden Globes
Girlfriend NO! Amy Adams has totally aged herself 20 years with this french twist hairdo and hunter green dress. I think it's the hair that bothers me the most and I know she's preggers, but that dress is not flattering. It makes her look more heavy all around than just pregnant. Perhaps Amy should have gone with a long flowy gown to show off her baby bump. Either way, this look is SO unflattering!
Sandra Bullock: Best and Worst Dressed at the 2010 Golden Globes
This is gonna be Sandra Bullock's year! She is starting off with a couple of awards under her belt and amazing style! Tonight was no exception as she looks stunning in this strapless purple chiffon gown. The color looks amazing on her skin tone and her side swpet dark hair. I love her! I have a feeling Sandra is going to have a big year!
Drew Barrymore: Best and Worst Dressed at the 2010 Golden Globes
I know that since Lady Gaga everyone is trying to push the envelope with fashion but here is an example of it not working out. Drew Barrymore, (bless her, she's so adorable) signed up for the wrong dress when she decided to wear this nude one shoulder draped dress with what appears to be a huge caterpillar on her shoulder and hip. Maybe if they were ruffle details or something else, but this poofy thing is kind of gross. And the fabric is so sheer, you can see her bra. Fashion no no!
Anna Paquin: Best and Worst Dressed at the 2010 Golden Globes
Hmm....I'm going to have to ahead and say 'no'. Anna Paquin looks more like an actual golden globe than an actress on the red carpet. Her super gold sequin/super beaded crazy dress has a very sexy plunging neckline, but it's a little much for the eyes. The embellishments are way too busy and really takes away from her. I don't even know what her face looks like when I look at this dress. Although her and Stephen Moyer look super cute! Awww go Sooki and Bill!

A DEADLY canister of radioactive material has been stolen from the back of a van.
If exposed the material, believed to be Iridium 192, can increase the risk of cancer, cause burns, radiation sickness or even death.
Police have warned people not to touch the yellow canister, which is marked with radiation trefoil.
It was taken between 1am on Saturday and 3.20am yesterday from a Peugeot Panel Van parked outside a house in New Line, Bacup.
It is believed the material was intended for industrial use.
The material was being transported from Scotland to the south of England by a courier who had stopped overnight.
Police said the courier had left Lancashire and was making his first delivery of the day when he noticed it had been taken. A fire extinguisher and a number of personal items had also been stolen.
A full investigation is now under way to find the sealed foot-long 15kg canister, police said.
Chief Inspector Russ Procter said the thieves may not be aware of the danger and urged people not to touch it.
He said: "It is important that this material is located as soon as possible.
"I would ask the public, especially in the Rossendale area, to keep an eye out for this canister and if they locate it then to call the police who will go and deal with it.
"I would also appeal direct to the people who have stolen it.
"They may have no idea what it is that they have in their possession or they may have discarded it somewhere.
"If that is the case then I would ask them to contact us or call Crimestoppers anonymously.
"It's a really unusual theft. It is too early to say if the vehicle was targeted for these items. We are still in the early stages of the investigation."
Iridium 192 is a metal often used in industrial gauges that inspect welding seams, and can also be used in medicine to treat certain cancers.
However, large amounts of the material can increase the risk of cancer due of its high-energy gamma radiation, and it can also cause burns and acute radiation sickness.
The canister, which requires a key to be opened, has a thick layer of lead on the inside protecting a smaller canister, which contains the Iridium 192.
The Health Protection Agency urged anyone coming into contact with the cylinder to leave it where it is and alert the police.
A spokesperson said: "The radioactive material, believed to be Iridium 192, will not pose a risk to the public if it remains contained in its heavy lead container marked with the radiation trefoil.
"However, if the material is outside of its protection packaging, anyone who has come into prolonged physical contact, such as keeping it in a pocket, should seek medical assistance.
"If you see this package you should immediately inform the Police, do not touch it and keep away."
A spokesman for the Office for Nuclear Regulation, which works to protect the public from hazardous materials, said: "We are aware of the incident overnight in Bacup.
"Police are leading in this matter and we are assisting their inquiries. Our input is largely to provide specialist advice on matters relating to the transport of radioactive materials, which we regulate, and in time we will conduct our own regulatory inquiries into this incident."

4-H Stream Teams Make an Impact
Posted: February 3, 2012
This small, 53 square mile watershed is the focus of much attention, as partners from a wide-variety of government agencies, universities, and non-government organizations come together to see what a fully collaborative effort (in this case the Conewago Creek Collaborative Conservation Initiative) can do to restore a small watershed and ultimately improve the quality of water entering the Chesapeake Bay. Thanks to the efforts of Penn State Extension Educators and to funding from a USDA-NIFA Integrated Water Quality Program Grant, youth are included in this collaborative effort.
The three major components of the 4-H Stream Team Concept are 1) provide a hands-on water-education curriculum that teaches youth about water conservation, water science, and water quality issues 2) focus youth learning experiences on small watersheds where their daily lives have the greatest impact and 3) promote community service and outreach projects that youth take ownership of in their own small watersheds. In the first two years of this pilot program, with the help of 36 dedicated volunteers, over 2,350 youth have been reached through 4-H Stream Team Activities.
For those youth who have completed 4-H Stream Team Activities and participated in evaluations, there has been demonstrated knowledge gained in water topics. 93% of participating youth demonstrated increased knowledge about the physical properties of water, 60% of participating youth demonstrated increased knowledge about water use and conservation issues, 76% of participating youth demonstrated increased knowledge about watersheds and associated landforms, and 61% of participating youth demonstrated increased knowledge about water quality issues and measurement. In addition, 76% of 4-H Stream Team Members demonstrated increased knowledge of their own local watershed boundaries and 166 4-H Stream Team Members have participated in 10 different community service and outreach projects that directly benefited their local watersheds in and around the Conewago Creek Pilot Program. Participating youth are also being evaluated on their skills, attitudes, and interests in science education and science careers.
As the program pilot enters the beginning of its final year, efforts are beginning to spread the 4-H Stream Teams Program outside of the USDA funded pilot region and into the entire state of Pennsylvania and beyond. To learn more about the program and some of the resources that have been developed to make the program a success, visit the Penn State Extension: 4-H Stream Teams website at:

UU ~ Dual Synergy
View Single Post
January 27th, 2012 (5:23 PM).
The Fun is always Dunsparce
Join Date:
Nov 2011
Alright guys, this is my first time with RMT, so I do plead you to bash my team as hard as possible <3 So, Let's get into this:
Just from that, you may notice the synergy: Water Grass Fire, and Fighting Dark Psychic.
Scope them:
[email protected]
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Spd
Nature: Bold
~ Calm Mind
- Dark Pulse
- Hidden Power (Fighting)
~ Rest
So, we are starting things off with a Pokemon that is quite bulky. Not only a great wall to the prominent fighting types, but a semi-reliable lead. It is easily able to set up on Deoxys-D, and if I fear that spikes will take too much of a toll on my team (based on theirs), then I can usually kill it in two hits with +1. Either way, at least two layers of Spikes will be set if you choose to lead with this. By maximizing it's defensive stats, Spiritomb can switch a threatening blow. That coupled with it's Dark/Ghost typing, giving it no weaknesses, but Immunity to common fighting, psychic, and normal types, make this the arguably best typing that a Pokemon can get. Dark Pulse gives it a great STAB attack that will hit anything that doesn't resist it really hard after a few Calm Minds. Hidden Power (Fighting) covers the rest. Although not STAB, it hits Steel Types and Dark Types like there's no tomorrow, especially if you can get a Calm Mind under your wing. Rest isn't the most reliable form or recovery, but I prefer to get it's HP up fast, with it's defenses it is possible to stall out the turns if you must, or you can switch out and kill the threatening foe.
[email protected]
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 SpA/ 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
~ Seed Flare
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power (Ice)
~ Rest
Next we dig our way into the first Pokemon of the synergy: Shaymin! With all it's stats being at base One hundred, Shaymin is among the strongest grass type pokemon in this tier. It can be switched in on bulky waters, possibly revenge kill a fire type, and even take out threatening flying type. This moveset that has been bestowed upon Shaymin is so versatile, and fits right in with this team. It's move of choice, with 120 Base Power as well as STAB, is Seed Flare. Exclusive to Shaymin, it works out quite well with the chance of it's secondary effect happening: it may Lower the foes Special Defense stat by 2 stage. What a monster Shaymin becomes after that! However, the accuracy of the move is a little disappointing, and can really hurt when you miss in a Pinch, being at 85. But, with the choice specs item and a Speed loving nature, Shaymin is notoriously able to kill Bulky Water types with no hesitation. The next move of choice is Earth Power. It can kill opposing fire types, that aren't scarfed, and has a chance to lower their Special Defense stat by one stage. This is also the only counter on the team to electric type Pokemon. Now, for the Hidden Power, I opt to go for Ice for greater coverage. I already have Victini to demolish the threats with fire, so Ice can kill threatening Flying types. The final move is Rest, which is coupled with Natural Cure to wake up on switching. Be warned, with HP Ice, any Max Speed Victinis, scarfed or not, will outspeed you by 1 point.
[email protected]
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
~ V-Create
- Fusion Bolt
- U-Turn
~ Zen Headbutt
And Shaymin's partner of Choice is.. Victini! Not only that, but it makes up the entirety of the Dual Synergy, having a Fire/Psychic type combination. Rivaled only by Darminatan for the strongest (offensively) fire type in UU, Victini packs a powerful punch! Not only that, but it has access to Dual STAB moves, with is always fun to play around with. Now Victinis STAB, the strongest move without sacrifice, is V-Create! This will hit every pokemon hard, except for Bulky water types. 180 Base power and a choice band, just the fear of that attack itself may for switches! There are drawbacks, however. It may do massive damage, but it also lowers the user's Defense, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage each. It ohko's even the bulkiest of Tangrowths! It will also do a neat chunk to water types such as Slowking, as well. To counter water types (Not, by any means, should you switch into one) Victini has access to Zekrom's signature move, Fusion Bolt. This move can be used on opposing Flying types, or even used to predict a water type switch in. The next move Victini opts to use is U-Turn. This is more for scouting, for the damage output isn't too great. But it can hit the aforementioned Slowpoke family. The final move of choice is an additional STAB, in Zen Headbutt. With a possible flinch, and choice band, this move cannot be passed up. Victini is the Basis of the Dual Synergy.
[email protected]
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpD
Nature: Calm
~ Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Ice Beam
~ Roar
Here comes the final part to the Water, Fire, Grass synergy, Empoleon! This is a common one to use in the synergy, but, it's defenses are greatly appreciated by it's fellow teammates. Instead of using brute force, the massive penguin has decided it best to be as bulky as possible to support the team. Although I did say Spiritomb was a possible lead, this emperor is usually used to set up stealth rocks as soon as possible, which cripple all of the pokemon that threaten it's hedgehog friend, Shaymin. As all bulky water types go, Scald is used, as opposed to Surf, or even the possible Hydro Pump. It cripples physical attackers that may want to set up, and not even a Special Attacker wants to take a burn. It also chooses this as it's STAB, so it can do a hefty amount of damage, as well as burn the for. The third moveslot is taken by Ice Beam. This team has no real counter to Flygon, bar Shaymin, who doesn't stand a chance to a banded Outrage, or even a scarfed one. So, a Steel type pokemon who resists it is great, and one that learns Ice Beam works even better! Ice Beam Usually Ohko's Flygon, and if not it will kill it in two hits. The last move is Roar. It's quite great to use on U-Turn Azelf leads, as a sort of funny way to deal more damage with rocks. This supportive set loves the rest of the team, as the rest of the team loves it!
[email protected]
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpD
Nature: Careful
~ Wish
- Payback
- Curse / Heal Bell
~ Protect
Let's begin with the next step, Synergy number two! Umbreon fits right in as an opposite of Spiritomb. And, most of the time people won't want to give him a status problem do to his Synchronize ability, and the possible Heal Bell. This variant, however, isn't limited to helping itself. It can also cast Wish onto it's teammates! And, with max HP (A total of 394 Hit Points), Wish heals every single one of my Pokemon a massive deal. Coupled with protect, Wish Stalling is made easy with Umbreons defenses. It is Umbreons strongest way to heal, and arguable greatest way to stall. Everything about this pokemon is about stalling, supporting, and recovering.The choice move of STAB is Payback. With bad Speed, although not the worst, Payback can potentially take a pokemon halfway with no boost, though usually it will make for a 3+ hit KO. This move also gets stronger if the foe decides to switch, which is very likely when they face this pokemon. The final move is based on preferance; Curse or Heal Bell. Heal Bell gives complete support, awaking the sleeping Spiritomb and Hariyama. It's also good if toxic is used on one of your walls, crippling it's potential. If Heal Bell is selected (As it does work well) you'll need more Defense investment. Now, the move curse. It will allow Umbreon to take Close Combats of any sort if your able to set up +3. It will also empower Payback greatly, so getting double damage (Which is super likely due to the speed drops from cursing up). This pokemon is very taunt weak, so it always has to be wary of that.
[email protected]
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 12 HP/ 244 Def/ 252 Spd
Nature: Impish
~ Whirlwind
- Brick Break
- Sleep Talk
~ Rest
The Final Pokemon of the team! This has got to be some sort of joke.. I mean, come on, a Hariyama!? This is truly a great pokemon, with Decent Bulk to finish off the team. Thick Fat lets it come in on Fire and Ice type attacks aimed at Shaymin, and it's type let's it take Dark type hits who attempt to fight Victini. With a MASSIVE 432 HP Stat, this pokemon is almost sure to survive and hit. It survives one Brave Bird from Choice Scarfed, Guts Boosted Swellow, and can Whirlwind it out for it to come in and take rock damage later. Which brings us to the moves. It has the Rest and Sleep Talk Combination. This allows it to take a few hits, rest, sleep talk, and repeat. Very annoying, seeing as it's Hit Points count is way too high. It can phaze those who try to set up on it as it sleeps with Whirlwind, while slowly racking up damage from Stealth Rocks, to eventually kill the opposing team. The final move on this is Brick Break. It is a reliable STAB attack, base 75 power, and can ruin the effect of Reflect, as well as Light Screen. And, with 276 unboosted attack power, Hariyama has much potential to Shine on this team. Also, I have been testing Seismic Toss in it's place. It's not as effective, but it hits flying types that decide to switch in harder than Brick Break would.
In review, there are Three Mixed Walls, One SpD Wall, One SpA Sweeper, and one Atk Sweeper. Two of the Walls are potential Sweepers. One of the walls is a supporter. And the last wall is a phazer.
All of your Love is appreciated, and your criticism even more <3
(Sorry for the odd set up of Text ;P)
I sure would appreciate it if you guys supported my channel ^__^

President Obama and his loose-cannon sidekick Joe Biden seem to forget that the rest of the world was watching during the campaign, too.
The entire strategy was to go out and "engage" and "open a dialog" and "negotiate" with Iran, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, et al. Obama and Biden are too naïve to understand that they were tipping their hand, and that much of the world sees this strategy as one of weakness, not strength.
In fact, it is even worse than that - our enemies are not stupid, and are starting to react very negatively to being "played".
What a bunch of amateurs....

Obama least popular new leader in 40 years - except for Bill Clinton
It's official: Barack Obama is the second most reviled newbie president of the last forty years. A gallup survey today published in the Washington Times shows Obama to have an approval rating of just 56 per cent. The only president to have performed worse than that at the end of his first 100 days in office was Bill Clinton - and only then because it happened to coincide with the spectacular mishandling of the Waco siege, which might reasonably be laid at the door of ATF and FBI incompetence rather than presidential negligence.

Who the Hell Is This George Soros?
"The war on terror cannot be won." The U.S. "is the main obstacle to a stable and just world." American troops are "perpetrators" and "oppressors." "The war on drugs is doing more harm to our society than drug abuse itself."
Words spoken by bin Laden or Harry Reid? No. By Vlad Putin or John Murtha? Nope. By Hugo Chavez or Fidel? Nah. By a Mexican drug lord or Robert Downey? Wrong again. They are just some of the collected words of leftist wisdom spewed by a defeatist, America-hating, bizarre individual who goes by the name of George Soros http://www.americanissuesproject.org/soros.
Whose society he means by "our society" is as difficult to determine as is where his allegiance lies. It can't be in America.
According to one of his websites, "A global financier and philanthropist, George Soros is the founder and chairman of a network of foundations that promote, among other things, the creation of open, democratic societies based upon the rule of law, market economies, transparent and accountable governance, freedom of the press, and respect for human rights."
That self-aggrandizing site fails miserably in explaining who and what this "financier and philanthropist" really is, how and where he got his money, and how and to whom he extends his generous helping hand.
Hint: It's not to the Republican Party and it's not to conservative causes.
Born in Budapest to Jewish parents in 1930, Soros, (original name György Schwartz), emigrated to England in 1947 and then to America in 1956. Since then, he has become one of the richest men on the planet, a position he evidently feels grants him the authority not only to make pronouncements on America's leaders and America's values but to manipulate our government and our people.
This week, Soros was in the news for saying that, "Former Vice President Dick Cheney's role in approving enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA should be examined by a presidential commission:" http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=47242.
Translation: Cheney, along with former President George W. Bush, against whom Soros declared a vendetta in 2003, should be indicted, tried, convicted, hung by their thumbs or some other body part in the Mojave Desert, eaten alive by coyotes, and their remains devoured by ravenous vultures. Don Rumsfeld and Condi Rice would no doubt be third and fourth in line for the Soros gallows.
Their crime(s)? Doing all in their power to protect, defend, and preserve the United States of America, all of which are capital offenses in Soros' book. So, too, are America's freedoms and our free enterprise and capitalist systems, the bases of America's amazing strength, wealth and unsurpassed standard of living.
So, what's his problem? He has many obvious problems, among which is that George Soros has this undeniable skill and penchant for making billions as millions of others go broke and destitute.
Problem? What problem, he would say.
As millions of Americans and Western Europeans have lost their jobs, homes, and mental well-being in the worst economic downturn since the 1930's, Soros was scoring big time. "George Soros said the current economic crisis has been the culmination of his life's work." This long-anticipated crisis earned him over a billion dollars last year via his unregulated Quantum hedge fund for the super rich: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1164771/Im-having-good-crisis-says-hedge-fund-manager-1billion-world-plunged-recession.html.
In brief, Soros strove for this mess we are in and he is benefitting mightily from it as he continues his manipulations to effect a total financial and societal meltdown in the Western World. Then, the unadvertised plan is, he and his fellow thinkers and fellow travelers will step in and establish a brave new world predicated on their socialistic, communistic precepts.
He's quite familiar with economic and political crises and has long been a master manipulator of shady schemes to utilize them to his financial advantage: . . .

Good to see Rachel Mad-Cow sliding in the ratings.
"The 9pm Rachel Maddow Show premiered on MSNBC in October, 2008. After peaking in October, its April average in the adults 25-54 demographic prized by cable news advertisers is less than half the levels in its first month and has been on a fairly steady decline during all of 2009."
Some might think its odd that ultra liberal hacks like Maddow and Olbermann are blown away by Hannity and O'Reilly in this Age of The Messian, but its clear to thinking people why this is so.

Good news! The NY flyover thing wasn't incompetence.
It was apathy.
Isn't the Hope'N'Change Administration great? You're offered a choice between stupidity and malice as an explanation for their actions, and when you're done pondering, you're left with the philosophical question as to which is the worse of those two options. They give you both choice and intellectual stimulus. Great, aren't they?

CNN softballs Obama's top ten gaffes
Nothing about the tragicomic Gordon Brown DVD fiasco or on getting the Queen an iPod, both of which kept getting better and better as the DVDs turned out to be the wrong format and the iPod gift was megalomanical even by this President's standards.
Nothing about insisting to Austrians that they speak a language that exists only in Obama's mind. Nothing about visibly demonstrating to Iraqi troops that he has no idea what the different units in Iraq are. They might even have included the Freeman nomination and the Durban II trainwreck, though I can see how those were less "amateur hour gaffes" and more "shots across the neoconservative bow."
Oh - and then there was that $328,000 Manhattan photo op that the White House signed off on after being told it "might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay?" It happened a day before this list came out yet somehow never came up.
But tender clips of the First Daughters? Check. A montage of the the White House puppy? Check. 10 seconds of shamelessly goofing on Bush before delivering the list in a skeptical "these are what count as gaffes now" tone?

Politics and moral arguments aside, the end effect of the memos' release is that people who have put their lives on the line in U.S. counterterrorism efforts are now uncertain of whether they should be making that sacrifice. Many of these people are now questioning whether the administration that happens to be in power at any given time will recognize the fact that they were carrying out lawful orders under a previous administration. It is hard to retain officers and attract quality recruits in this kind of environment. It has become safer to work in programs other than counterterrorism.

Family of the late King of Pop have to wait until next year, January 4, to know whether or not judge will send Dr. Conrad Murray's case to trial.
Michael Jackson's family will have to wait until next year to find out whether the pop star's physician will face a trial and possible jail time for administering the anesthetic that killed the King of Pop - the preliminary hearing has been set for January 4, 2011.
Dr. Conrad Murray attended Monday's, August 23 brief session at Los Angeles Superior Court, where Judge Michael Pastor scheduled the hearing for the New Year. At that hearing, Judge Pastor will rule whether or not to send Murray's case to trial.
The 57-year-old medic has pleaded not guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's mother Katherine and his father Joseph joined various family members in court for the judge's decision.
Murray's attorneys have stated that the doctor did not give Jackson anything that should have killed him.

This article originally appeared in the Winter 2009 edition of PDF's quarterly newsletter, News & Review.
Imagine if your doctor was able to treat your Parkinson's disease (PD) with a therapy made from your very own skin cells!
It may sound futuristic, but it's exactly the type of treatment, called 'personalized medicine,' that is envisioned by Marina Emborg, M.D., Ph.D., and Su-Chun Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., both of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. They were recently awarded $150,000 from the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) to study the potential of this concept.
If you are a regular reader of News & Review, Dr. Emborg's name may be familiar to you. She has twice authored our cover story, both times providing comprehensive updates about new treatments in development for PD. Now we are proud to call her a PDF-funded researcher. Dr. Emborg, along with Dr. Zhang, is conducting a pilot study that examines the use of transformed adult skin cells in the treatment of Parkinson's.
With new technology, first used successfully in 2007, scientists can take skin cells from a person with PD and coax them to become pluripotent stem cells (iPS). These cells appear to have similar potential to embryonic stem cells (hESCs), but sidestep the ethical and political debates associated with hESCs. The most important similarity between the two is the ability to become any other type of cell in the human body, including dopamine neurons — the cells that are damaged in the brains of people with Parkinson's. Scientists theorize that transplanting the transformed cells into the brains of people with PD could ease symptoms of the disease.
Dr. Emborg and Dr. Zhang will test this theory in monkeys. Dr. Zhang will transform the skin cells of Rhesus monkeys into iPS cells and subsequently into dopamine neurons. Next, Dr. Emborg will implant the transformed dopamine neurons into the brains of the same animals that donated the skin cells — animals that, through use of the compound MPTP, will develop a condition much like PD. She will observe how well these cells survive and integrate in the brain and will measure the cells' effect on the health of the monkeys, monitoring the development of tumors, immune reactions and changes in the animals' parkinsonian signs.
Drs. Zhang and Emborg hope that implanting the transformed cells back into the monkeys from whom they were originally taken will replace the dopamine neurons missing and damaged by PD. Although technical challenges lie ahead with the iPS method, treatments made using the method would derive from the host's own genetic materials, avoiding issues of immune rejection that can be found with other stem cell therapies.
Dr. Emborg notes that while her investigations are in early stages, the results from this pilot study, "should illuminate the potential of an exciting concept: treating people with Parkinson's with their very own cells."
Marina E. Emborg, M.D., Ph.D., is Director of the Preclinical Parkinson's Research Program at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center and an Assistant Professor of Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

any valued information about diabetes and exercises
Similar Threads:
There is now growing amounts of evidence that Exercise can prevent or reverse Type II diabetes. However, diet plays a significant role, and so does regular medical management.
So long as there are no contraindications a monitored and managed program, with regular liaising with medical doctor could manage this problem and provide benefits the same for normal individuals.
Well, u 've to assess ur patient, including his medications and cocerns to his medications, type of DM,stage of his illness,diet & excercises should be considered and applied...
THE link is a free version of midline a very confirmed interested site u can make a search by ur self

Good luck
Exercise is very important in managing diabetes 2. Combining diet, exercise, and medicine (when prescribed) will help control your weight and blood sugar level.
I googled the key words diabetes and exercise.. I got many targets that I find that in a basic level they can provide you with some good information.
More or less is what I suggest to my patients
I can't post the links.. I've got less than 3 posts.. let as see
Additional Comment I forgot:

Blood sugar can be controlled by exercising. It will lower the risk for heart diseases which is very much common to diabetics. Walking, jogging, biking & aerobic dance are best examples but before doing so better consult first your doctor for advice.

Really this is very interesting and useful information about Diabetes Issue.... Great Work! Thanks very much for the share.....
the diabetes issue in physio therapy is very complex, thanks for the blog post! in our clinic, we are asked to give information about the most recent treatments. Especially about diabetes research in which the company Biovision invests a lot of time as they supply scientific departments with antibodies. It is a way of also helping the patients psychologically.

The ICIS Chemicals Confidential blog is today celebrating its first birthday. Born in the maelstrom of the Reed Charity Blogathon on 24 September 2007, it has grown unexpectedly strong and bonny, boasting 257 postings over the course of its first year.
The Google Analytics map above shows that it is now read in 77 countries and 917 cities, and although it seems only natural that there should be a healthy global appetite for chemicals gossip and in-jokes, I have to wonder what my loyal readers in Macao and Ghana, amongst others, make of the day-to-day ramblings about business travel (45 entries), trivia (49), gossip (51), fashion (18) and parties (10).

Among the many revelations I have been able to bring to you over the years of this column is the secret to appearing on television. Some of you will remember that the key, vouchsafed exclusively here, is to look pleased to be there. Just that. But what I may have forgotten to mention is that there is a balance to be struck. Try not to look too pleased. Steer a middle course, somewhere between a junior minister dragged on to BBC Breakfast to discuss disastrous unemployment figures and Robbie Savage. The Robbie route, I fear, is the favoured one currently.
Everywhere on TV championing and celebrating is the order of the day. From the karaoke singers on The X Factor and the middle-ranking celebrities on Strictly Come Dancing, to people who can bake a nice cake; all are being wildly applauded and of course are desperately pleased to be on our screens.
It's undoubtedly a hangover from the Olympics and Paralympics, where the nation justifiably united in exultation but producers should be warned, there's a thin dividing line between national celebration and the Nuremberg Rally.
To witness the line being crossed, I recommend A League of Their Own, the raucous, preening, self-regarding, sports panel show which has overcome a lukewarm critical response – except here where the boiler would need to be fired up a little to reach lukewarm – to stride triumphantly into a sixth series on Sky.
The programme is currently celebrating the Olympics, inviting a series of British medallists on to the show to be anointed by the host James Corden. Mo Farah, Louis Smith, Rebecca Adlington and Sir Chris Hoy are among recent inductees, emerging to a standing ovation from a frenzied audience, a cascade of golden ticker tape and a hysterical we-are-not-worthy welcome from panellists and the host. I don't know what it is about Corden – the unabashed self-delight possibly – but you get the impression he's taking personal credit for our triumphs.
A League Of Their Own is a show where the panellists high-five each other when they answer a question correctly, which tells you everything you need to know about it. Question of Sport it ain't.
What puzzles me is the warning that precedes it, alerting viewers to its "strong language and adult humour." The strong language part, I understand – regular panellist Freddie Flintoff is pretty well guaranteed to introduce Britain's most popular and widely-used four-letter word at an early stage – but I have subjected the show to forensic analysis and have yet to discover a trace of humour that could be described as adult.
Unless they mean this kind of thing; panellist Jack Whitehall, a fine comedian and writer as it happens, reveals that he learnt to Morris dance at school. "I'm a man of the bell," he says, to which Corden responds: "You're the end of a bell in many ways," the kind of repartee that might pass muster between two males at a bus-stop knocking each other's school caps off but is in little danger of threatening the reputation of the Algonquin Round Table.
The other shaft of Wildean wit we were treated to this week was an exchange between Flintoff and comedian John Bishop on the subject of the former cricketer's flamboyant jumper, culminating in Freddie's deathless put-down: "You're a wanker, you are."
I mustn't be too harsh on these modern-day Dorothy Parkers, though, because they have taken on board my advice of several years ago to look pleased, even if they are slightly overdoing the rapture, possibly because of the size of the fee which I believe comfortably outstrips that for Question of Sport. Corden, mind you, could not be expected to come cheap. He is hot property these days, the toast of Broadway, no less, after his success there in the National Theatre production of One Man, Two Guvnors.
Meanwhile for those of us suspicious of people on telly having too much fun, thank goodness the Sunday Supplement on Sky continues. This is the show where four journalists, dyspeptic to varying degrees, sit around a pile of Sunday paper sports pull-outs and chew over the big football issues. Maybe I'm biased but I have always thought these guys would make better pundits on live football and Match Of The Day than some of the ex-players currently doing the job.
Sure, none is as extravagantly coiffed as Robbie, or as expensively suited as Jamie Redknapp, but as all they have to risk is a free pie and a seat in the press box, they might be a little more forthright. On Sunday they were asking "Whither Arsenal?" and came up with the mot juste for the Londoners' performance at Old Trafford on Saturday, dubbing it "vague." If they could only learn to high-five each other when someone makes a good point, maybe throw in a few hugs and wear wide grins throughout, they'd have a heck of a show there.

Its pleasure and pain, and mutability and divisibility, are attributed to by ignorance only.
Endurance is made possible by reason of the element of divisibility.
But it cannot be maintained that divisibility of sovereignty was universally recognised in the eighteenth century.
By this distinction the divisibility of sovereignty was recognised.
It deserves to be noticed, that blocks of slate may lose their property of divisibility into thin laminæ.
In respect of quality, the divisibility of matter must be regarded.
Hence the argument proceeding from the assumption of their divisibility and possible independence fails.
The divisibility of matter is a question that torments philosophers.
These objects, therefore, are mediately represented by the conception of divisibility.
Figure, magnitude, divisibility, are only different modifications of extension.

Acting Section Author: E. David Klonsky (University of British Columbia)
Original Section Authors 2008-2011: Greg Hajcak and Lisa Starr (Stony Brook University)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is defined by the presence of either obsessions or compulsions (typically both occur). Obsessions are defined as recurrent thoughts, images, or impulses that are viewed by the person as intrusive or inappropriate and that invoke anxiety. Obsessions are not simply amplified worries about real life problems; in fact, the person may view them as silly or unrealistic. Examples include worries about being contaminated with dirt or germs, having something awful happen to a loved one, or having made a terrible mistake. The person attempts to ignore, suppress, or neutralize these obsessions, often through compulsions. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform. These may include actions such as counting, hand-washing, checking (e.g., locks), ordering, or hoarding things with no sentimental or monetary value.
Psychological Treatments
- Exposure and Response Prevention NEW (strong research support)
- Cognitive Therapy (strong research support)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (modest research support)
Note: Other psychological treatments may also be effective in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but they have not been evaluated with the same scientific rigor as the treatments above. Many medications may also be helpful for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but we do not cover medications in this website. Of course, we recommend a consultation with a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and discussion of various treatment options. When you meet with a professional, be sure to work together to establish clear treatment goals and to monitor progress toward those goals. Feel free to print this information and take it with you to discuss your treatment plan with your therapist.
