"http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oubeta-69336370" [im the guy under still_in_this] this battle made me laugh especially the first four turns
...Not exactly sure how you got ahold of that link, Ciel, but I do appreciate it. Nice battle, Tabuu! There were a couple of instances where you might have slipped up, but its nice to see Mega Charizard X being showing off that power it has. Definitely one of my favorite Megas.
Unfortunately, I don't. The only ones I have are ones with Cute Charm and Magic Guard. Sorry about that...
Hey there :D I have been searching for a friend safari with mawile(and other fairy types esp floette ^_^) for breeding projects and I hope you're still accepting fcodes :) I'll add you up as soon as possible and here is my code, 1719-3552-3674 . My friend safari is steel typed and contains ferroseed,skarmory and klefki so I hope they'll be of use to you :D Please and thank you. Take care.
Hehe, typed that earlier on my phone. Just got home and added you :) Sorry for the delay but thanks a lot for the add :D Really appreciated it and I wish you luck in your breeding projects :D Can't wait to see those skarmories in your trade thread :D Maybe we can also trade our spitbacks if you're interested :)
HAHAHA, my bad ^_^ I was looking at your profile and saw that you're quite active in breeding so I assumed you had one :) S'okay, I don't have one as well :p
yo, been a while cuz BW2 got so boring, i stopped playing, but ye, Xy will bring something interesting back!
I'm getting un-grounded this December! Good timing cause break is going to come up and I really really really want to have a team + gamechat with you guys
Just a tip from me to you; NEVER put Smogon ahead of your own daily work. It's more important that you get your homework done on time, and there will be plenty of time for Smogon later.
So far in stock I have ... 5 IV Goomy (Sap Sipper + Gooey) 4 IV Marill (Huge Power) 4 IV Torchic (Speed Boost) 5 IV (Gible) Now I'm working on my Rotom :D
my game was restarted ;-; who would you recommend for a list? I don't mind changing up at all. I feel like Charizard might end up being a bit easier tbh
Well, once you get one perfect pokemon, you can pass down its IVs to pokemon in other groups that might normally be more difficult to breed. It really depends on how difficult the first is to breed up. So something like Charizard, Ferrothorn, or maybe something like Ampharos would be some nice starting points.
yo, quick question : So I had to rebreed my four iv marill to get aqua jet...but right now I can't get another 4 iv. do you think 3 iv is good enough? (HP ATK SPE)
I don't really know, and unfortunately I'm probably the worst person to ask. I'm something of a perfectionist myself, so I can't bring myself to settle for anything less than perfect. I don't know if the difference would be too noticeable, but it's something you should consider.
Actually, I happen to have one spare Penta Modest Charmander left. I imagine it would be great for Mega Charizard Y, if you have that version. Would you want it, by any chance?
Well drat, and I just Wonder Traded all my Jolly Charmander away... On the bright side, I did get some surprisingly nice stuff from it. I guess I'll just let you know when I have something nice to offer you.
2766-9147-7441 ^ Could you please add me back? I really need your Safari Pokemon :) Also, I love your avatar like omf it is amazayn
That isn't you o_O so sorry, trading some other guy named Johnathan xD. He gave me Fraxures, Hawluchas, and Ninetales. Idk it was good.
We're trading now. I should warn you, this Charmander was used for breeding purposes and forgot Dragon Dance. However, using a Heart Scale on it should enable it to relearn it. Also, I believe it has perfect IVS in HP, Def, SpDef, and Spe, or something along those lines.
Hey False Sense, I know you don't know me, but I was wondering if we could exchange FC? I know mine may not help you (Drifloon, Pumpkaboo, and Lampent), but I really want Mawile and was trying to find someone with a friend safari for one :X My FC is 1091-8603-9581 btw, and in game name is Tai. Let me know if an exchange is possible. Thank you!
Oh, that. That was a social group I used to run before Smogon got hacked and social groups were removed. We were a group dedicated to the art of competitive battling and were constantly trying to discover new and effective things to use in the metagame. Out of curiosity, how did you find out about it?
Thanks for the answer. I was looking at someones profile and they were interested in joining or something.
Well, since I've been busy lately doing breeding experiments, I tend to get a lot of spares. The Bagon I sent you was one of those, and since it had some nice egg moves and a decent ability, I figured it would make a nice gift. Could prove useful in game. Oh, and thanks to you, I managed to get a Seviper out of the Friend Safari. I was planning on breeding one of those with Goomy. Thanks again!
Oh, if you want a bit of backstory for that Bagon, check out Tabuu's profile. Very long conversation we had...
False would you be up to cast at like 8:00 PM tonight? It's spoiler free don't worry. I'll make sure of it.
Probably not, unfortunately. I've got some stuff I want to get done before tomorrow, including a possible final edit to my RMT, so I don't think I'll have the time...
Uh, I was referring to Hidden Power only... But wow, special attacks got nerfed... I guess that's a good thing considering the over prevalence of weather abusing special attackers, but still...
By the way, have you read that "Pokemon" article in the OU forums? I thought it was a fascinating read, especially the part about team building. Do you have any thoughts on it?

I was expecting it to be a novelty song thats not much fun to play but awesome to have but those keys look freaking great. Can't wait!
I was expecting it to be a novelty song thats not much fun to play but awesome to have but those keys look freaking great. Can't wait!
Two things:
1) You should definitely include the "we have a rapist" line at the beginning.
2) At 2:27 of this video, there is definitely some synth that is not charted.
The intro line is from the shorter version of the song. It wasn't in the iTunes version because that line became a verse later in the song.
As for the synth that isn't charted, it was already mixed in with all of the background and such so it can't be charted. I thought about making a bass track that just plays those background sounds and noises but it would have been too chaotic.
Awesome charts for Bed Intruder, can't wait to play that! For vocals, though, wouldn't it make more sense to split Antoine and Kelly's vocals among the different harmony parts?
So excited.

8/9/11 (Def Leppard) will be marked as the best day in RB history for me. HMX, major thanks for all this amazing DLC you put out!
At 1:33, there is a "hey!" and it's not charted on vocals. Is that for the same reason?
Also, from 3:00 to 3:02, there are harmonies that are more interesting than that lead and an octave up from the lead that I think would be worth it to put in.
I just played the pro keys chart on the piano. It is DEFINITELY not the right notes. Almost every single note is charted 3 semitones too high (for example, the highest note in the main phrase is an F where the music sounds (almost as clear as a bell) like a D. And everything follows (I tuned my keyboard down three semitones, and played what was charted, and it fit the music)
Almost all the notes seemed to fit when it was transposed like that, except for the notes that were charted as B natural.
The F# that was the first note of the main keyboard riff also seemed terrible not-good (with the 3 note transposition) about half the time.

Add Dallas: Season 10 to top of Queue
At the tail end of Dallas' ninth season, Pamela Ewing (Victoria Principal) was awakened from her troubled slumbers by the sound of a familiar voice in her bathroom. Investigating, she peeked past the shower curtains -- and was astonished to find her ex-husband, Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), who had presumably been killed at the end of the series' eighth season, alive and well! How could this be? Well, the opening scene of season ten explains all. Bobby was never killed -- and the entire ninth season was all a nightmare, dreamed up by poor Pamela! Thus, the writers have blithely negated everything that has happened during the previous season, and from this point forward, not even the most loyal of the series' fans will ever be able to take Dallas entirely seriously again. Be that as it may, season ten does offer a few interesting plot developments, as well as a handful of new characters. Having been humiliated time and again by her ruthless oil-tycoon husband, J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman), Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) gets even by setting up her own lingerie business, using J.R.'s erstwhile mistress Mandy Winger (Deborah Shelton) as his star model.
Meanwhile, Southfork is invaded by April Stevens (Sheree J. Wilson), former wife of J.R.'s cousin Jack Ewing, who like everyone else in the family is determined to carve out her own piece of the Ewing millions, by hook or by crook. (April will eventually marry J.R.'s brother Bobby, though he is blissfully unaware of this now.) Also making his first appearance is Ben Stivers (aka Wes Parmalee, played by Steve Forrest), who throws a monkey wrench into the connubial bliss of Miss Ellie Ewing (Barbara Bel Geddes) and her second husband, Clayton Barlow (Howard Keel), by posing as Miss Ellie's presumed-dead first husband, Jock. And in another development, the marriage between J.R.'s half-brother, Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly), and his ambitious wife, Donna (Susan Howard), totally collapses when Donna attaches herself to the influential Senator Dowling (Jim McMullan). Getting back to Pamela and Bobby, the couple decides to celebrate his "return from the grave" by getting married all over again. Alas, a happy ending is not in the cards: at the end of season ten, Pamela is seriously injured in an auto accident. Since Victoria Principal had announced her intention to leave the series, viewers braced themselves for the likelihood that Pamela has been killed -- and at the same time, they cynically awaited another likelihood, that the whole thing was yet another "Bobby in the shower" hoax! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The infamous ninth season of Dallas begins with Pamela Ewing (Victoria Principal) grieving over the death of her ex-husband Bobby, who was killed saving Pamela from her vengeful half-sister, Katherine Wentworth. To Pamela, the whole situation seems like one horrible nightmare -- and as it turns out, she may be right! In other developments, Barbara Bel Geddes returns to the role of Miss Ellie, mother of the redoubtable J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) -- a bit of retrospective casting that prompted Donna Reed, who'd taken over as Miss Ellie during Bel Geddes' absence in season eight, to sue the series' producers. Also back is Dusty Barlow (Jared Martin), whose millionaire father, Clayton (Howard Keel), has become Miss Ellie's husband. Now an embittered paraplegic, Dusty becomes deeply involved in a custody battle between his former lover Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) and her husband, J.R., over their son, John Ross. In the midst of this courtroom intrigue, J.R. pulls strings to have the alcoholic Sue Ellen committed to a sanitarium, but her mom, Patricia (Martha Scott), bails her out. Another returnee to the series is Mark Graison (John Beck), who hopes to offer love and comfort to his disconsolate ex-sweetheart Pamela. Newcomers to Dallas include Dack Rambo as cousin Jack Ewing, to whom Bobby's onetime inamorata Jenna (Priscilla Presley) turns after Bobby's death; Barbara Carrera as ruthless shipping magnate Angelica Nero, who aligns herself with J.R.'s sworn enemy Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval) -- who in turn is romancing Jack's sister Jamie (Jenilee Harrison); and Marc Singer as Matt Cattrell, a childhood friend of Pamela who talks her into financing a dangerous mining venture in South America. That the viewers sorely missed Patrick Duffy was painfully evidently in the fact that Dallas ratings were rapidly plummeting. Both the series' producers and star Larry Hagman approached Duffy, offering him all sorts of attractive incentives to get him to return to the show. The results of their entreaties are revealed in the season finale, when, after a horrific explosion that apparently kills half the cast, the action suddenly shifts to Pamela, who is aroused from her slumbers by a familiar voice emanating from her bathroom.... ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Murder, She Wrote: Deadly Lady
In the first hour-long episode of Murder She Wrote (the debut episode had run two hours), mystery writer Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) is back in her home town of Cabot Cove, Maine, where she makes the acquaintance of a seedy-looking gentleman named Ralph (Howard Duff), who has shown up in her backyard looking for work. At the same time, the authorities are investigating the reported death of multimillionaire Stephen Earl, who was swept off his yacht during a hurricane--or at least that's the story given by Earl's four rather predatory daughters. This episode marks the first series appearances of Tom Bosley as Cabot Cove's sheriff Amos Tupper, and Claude Akins as Jessica's sometime fishing companion Ethan Cragg. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Double Life
Initially telecast September 9, 1978, A Double Life was the pilot film for the weekly TV series Sword of Justice. Dack Rambo stars as Jeff Cole, who has just spent three years in prison after being framed on an embezzlement charge. Swearing vengeance against the actual crook -- who was also responsible for his father's death -- Cole devotes his post-prison life to bringing to justice criminals beyond the reach of the life. Having learned a great deal about such underhanded activities as electronic bugging and lock-picking while in stir, Cole utilizes these talents for good rather than evil (shades of It Takes a Thief--and no wonder, since Glen A. Larson produced both series). Aiding Cole in his mission is his ex-cellmate Hector Ramirez (Bert Rosario), while federal agent Arthur Woods (Alex Courtney) spends most of his time trying to second-guess the elusive hero. Sword of Justice remained on the NBC prime time schedule until August 11, 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The made-for-TV Good Against Evil might not have existed had not The Exorcist shown the way three years earlier. Dack Rambo and Elyssa Davalos star as sweethearts Andy Stuart and Jessica Gordon. The course of true love is messed up when Satan claims Jessica as his own personal property. Desperately, Andy turns to a pair of priests, Fathers Kemschler (Dan O'Herlihy) and Wheatley (John Harkins), for spiritual guidance, not to mention a bit of brute force in purging poor Jessica of her demons. Jimmy Sangster's screenplay doesn't miss a trick, nor does the spooky direction by Paul Wendkos. When first telecast on May 22, 1977, Good Against Evil ran 72 minutes; syndicated prints have been expanded to 97 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

They don't get what they want, and spend ever so long pontificating about it.

The Guns of Will Sonnett: Season 02
Most of the 23 episodes in Season Two of the peripatetic western series The Guns of Will Sonnett adhere to the formula established in Season One, with septuagenarian ex-Cavalry scout Will Sonnett (Walter Brennan) travelling throughout the west with his teenaged grandson Jeff (Dack Rambo, in search of Will's son and Jeff's father Jim Sonnett (Jason Evers), a notorious gunman. This season, Jim makes several sizeable guest appearances, beginning with the opening episode "Reunion" and continuing through the two-part "Town of Terror", wherein the Sonnetts are again reunited, smack in the middle of a deadly range war. Working in concert, the three Sonnetts settle the hash of a would-be hero coasting on a false reputation in the penultimate episode "The Man Who Killed James Sonnett". And finally, Will and Jeff convince James to forsake his gunslinging ways and join them as peacekeepers in the small town of Samson in "Three Stand Together". This last-named episode had been intended as the opener for the series' third season, but ABC decided to pull the plug on the show, and thus the episode aired as the series finale. Among the many guest stars during Season Two are future "Grandma Walton" Ellen Corby in the episode "Pariah", recent Oscar winner (for Cool Hand Luke) Strother Martin in "Joby", and Jesse Pearson, the actor who'd played Conrad Birdie in the 1963 movie version of Bye Bye Birdie, in "Join the Army." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Guns of Will Sonnett: Season 01
Seen on ABC's Friday-night schedule during its first season, The Guns of Will Sonnett firmly establishes its premise in the opening episode "Ride the Long Trail". Ex-Cavalry scout Will Sonnett (Walter Brennan) and his grandson Jeff (Dack Rambo) have left their home and begun wandering through the west, in search of Will's son and Jeff's dad Jim Sonnett, who since running away 19 years earlier had attained a reputation as a deadly gunslinger. With both the law and his many enemies on Jim's trail, Will and Jeff hope to catch up with the prodigal Sonnett before someone else does, and in this pursuit they visit a number of tiny western outposts and alter the lives of innumerable strangers. Though Jim remains an elusive figure, he does make a handful of fleeting appearances, beginning with the sixth episode, "Message at Noon." Since most of the 26 first-season episodes follow essentially the same storyline, viewers are advised to ignore the plots and revel in the bravura performance of three-time Oscar winner Walter Brennan, to say nothing of the series' fascinating crop of guest stars. In "A Bell for Jeff Sonnett", a young Charles Grodin plays a brash gunslinger who sews a tiny bell on his hat for each man hie kills. Jack Nicholson is a trigger-happy punk in "A Son for a Son", which also features Bing Russell, father of Kurt Russell. Dennis Hopper essays a similar "punk" role in another episode, "Find a Sonnett, Kill a Sonnett". And in "The Warriors", two future 1970s TV stalwarts, The Duke of Hazzard's Denver Pyle and Dallas' Jim Davis, share screen space with an icon of the 1950s, Captain Midnight star Richard Webb. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Work detailsHallucinations by Oliver Sacks (2012)
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Updated: I accidentally deleted this review, so re-posting. I must've been Hallucinating. Herm, well. Disappointing. It was just so...clinical. I guess, what did I expect? Apparently, neuroscientists have figured out that hallucinations are triggered by parts of the brain being over or under stimulated. Thanks for that. The most interesting tidbit to me within the book is that there is a scientist named Dominic ffytche (yes, lower case). It kind of freaked me out every time I read his name. Dominic ffytche. How is it possible someone could have a last name that isn't capitalized? And a double f? What next, someone with the same first and middle name? Hallucinations was rather a survey of many of the different medical conditions that can cause hallucinations and the types of hallucinations. With one exception, the chapter about Sacks's experimentation with drugs. It seemed somewhat out of place with all the rest of the content, but I appreciated his generally positive attitude about psychedelics. I found the beginning of that chapter rather insightful:Humans share much with other animals—the basic needs of food and drink or sleep, for example—but there are additional mental and emotional needs and desires which are perhaps unique to us. To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation; we need to see overall patterns in our lives. We need hope, the sense of a future. And we need freedom (or at least the illusion of freedom) to get beyond ourselves, whether with telescopes and microscopes and our ever-burgeoning technology or in states of mind which allow us to travel to other worlds, to transcend our immediate surroundings. We need detachment of this sort as much as we need engagement in our lives. We may search, too, for a relaxing of inhibitions that makes it easier to bond with one another, or for transports that make our consciousness of time and mortality easier to bear. We seek a holiday from our inner and outer restrictions, a more intense sense of the here and now, the beauty and value of the world we live in. He goes on to reference William James's book [b:The Varieties of Religious Experience|28820|The Varieties of Religious Experience|William James|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1167956957s/28820.jpg|1751058] and his transcendent experiences with nitrous oxide and then follows that with:Many of us find the reconciliation that James speaks of and even Wordsworthian "intimations of immortality" in nature, art, creative thinking or religion, some people can reach transcendent states through meditation or similar trance-inducing techniques or through prayer and spiritual exercises. But drugs offer a short cut, they promise transcendence on demand. These shortcuts are possible because certain chemicals can directly stimulate many complex brain functions. Every culture has found chemical means of transcendence and at some point the use of such intoxicants becomes institutionalized at a magical or sacramental level, the sacramental use of psychoactive plant substances has a long history and continues to the present day in various shamanic and religious rites around the world.Although I believe he underestimates how our "needs" are generated by culture (c.f. [b:The Society of the Spectacle|381440|The Society of the Spectacle|Guy Debord|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1370746722s/381440.jpg|371226] I agree that there seems to be a natural desire to transcend and achieve a state of universal love, oneness or harmony with all things, but that desire is warped, moderated, stunted, rejected, or resisted by many people. Every mind is rather unique of course and will have varying reactions to such an abstract quality. When you reflect on those who are cruel and violent, it's easy to believe that such a desire is merely an affection of the privileged. But the native people who partake of Ayahuasca to commune with forest spirits give validity to the general sentiment. And it's not a stretch to suppose that cruel and violent people are frequently raised in a state of ignorance and blindness and their openness to the possibilities of life is stunted. And I do believe that my psychedelic experiences led me to "open my mind" and throw off certain mental conventions. To discover a greater level of creativity within myself. And they have perhaps helped lead me eventually to Zen Buddhism and meditation practice as well. I think there is a commonality between the psychedelic experience of the oneness and nothingness of all things and the Zen experience of oneness and nothingness. Another element of this book that was of particular interest to me was the brief discussion of mass hallucinations. In reflecting on both the "...demonic possessions that swept over the French village of Loudun in 1634," and the Salem witch trials, Sacks writes about how, "A deeply superstitious and delusional atmosphere can also foster hallucinations arising from extreme emotional states, and these can effect entire communities." When religion takes on a fanatical character, it can drive groups to such extreme fear and stress that they can be lead to experiences hallucinations that pass like a communicable disease through the power of suggestion. In a similar vein, he makes frequent references to how common it is for various mild hallucinations to occur for individuals who are not afflicted with any particular extreme conditions. Sleep deprivation, concussions, partial blindness, and many other moderate conditions can trigger a variety of visual and auditory hallucinations and "feelings" such as paranoia, calm, someone being in the room with you whom you can't see, and so on. He goes on to note how individuals who "see God" or "ghosts" are simply experiencing undiagnosed conditions that trigger hallucinations. In total, Hallucinations will appeal to those who enjoy reading about medical science, and it had its moments, but overall, I felt it was too dry. He's lost his touch a bit - this was much drier than his earlier work. Most interesting and juicier chapter was, of course, the one about the effects of the prodigious quantities of drugs he took in his student days! Found myself skimming by the end; it was all quite repetitive. This book is a one beat drummer. When you first read it you think this is fascinating but then by chapter nine or ten if feels like you have read it all before. Dr. Sacks gives hundreds of examples of hallucinations and he divides them up based on their causes like loss of eyesight, sensory deprivation and brain injury for example. His sources include, himself, his patients, people who have written to him and other people experiences that he has read about. But the hallucinations start to sound the same and so after initial excitement my interest tailed off. Perhaps if I or my immediate family suffered from this I would have had a more sustained interest.. Excellent Oliver Sacks as usual. Fascinating cases, insightful hypotheses. The most people think of hallucinations as things on people suffering from a psychosis have, it looks like the majority of hallucinations aren't caused by psychosis at all. There are all sorts of hallucinations that arise from all sorts of disorders, including migraine, Parkinson's, sensory deprivation (including loss of sight for whatever reason), and falling asleep and waking up- this last type can be terrifying. The book starts with one disorder, Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which sometimes occurs in people who have lost their sight. Suddenly, they will begin to see again- except they are the only people who can see the things. Once told that the people (or whatever) are not real and that there is nothing wrong with them, some patients actually find the illusions interesting and amusing and even miss them when the hallucinations abate. Those things we 'see' in the dark as we're falling asleep are hypnagogic hallucinations; they usually have no emotional impact. Hypnopompic hallucinations and sleep paralysis, however, can be terrifying. Occuring as the person wakes, these hallucinations happen with they eyes open and are projected into the external environment and seem real- the monster is in your bedroom. Add sleep paralysis, where the mind is awake but the body hasn't gotten the message yet, and you can't fight or escape from the monster, dubbed in the past as the Hag or the Night Mare. Told in Sacks' usual amusing but informative style, this book is rich in detail but easily understandable by the person with no neurological knowledge. In this book, Sacks tells us something of his own history with hallucinations due to drug use in the 60s. One doesn't expect this sort of openness in a medical book and I found it amusing as well as instructional; he can look at the drugs from the point of view of both doctor and user, providing an unusual balance. As always with one of Sacks' books, it's not to be missed if you have an interest in the brain.
"Why Kermit?" This was the question asked by a woman who started to have hallucinations of the "Sesame Street" frog many times a day, several weeks after brain surgery. Kermit meant nothing to her, she said, and his shifting moods -- sometimes he looked sad, sometimes happy, occasionally angry -- had nothing to do with her own feelings.

Neurologist and professor Oliver Sacks concerns himself with those for whom such breaks with reality are acute and life altering. Dr. Sacks' latest book--one of the most compelling in his fascinating oeuvre--centers on Charles Bonnet syndrome, a condition characterized by intricate visual hallucinations. Weaving together case studies with anecdotes from his own past and accessible medical explanations, Dr. Sacks introduces us to Sharon, whose vision is invaded by Kermit the Frog; Gertie, whose phantasmal gentleman caller visits each evening, bearing gifts; and a host of other patients whose experiences elicit both sympathy and self-reflection. (The good doctor also shares his own experiments with hallucinogenic drugs, to comic and insightful effect.) Hallucinations is Oliver Sacks at his best: as learned, introspective, and approachable as we could possibly imagine. --Mia LipmanThe Neurological and the Divine: An Interview with Oliver SacksThe following is an excerpt from a Q&A with Dr. Sacks published on Omnivoracious, the Amazon Books blog. Click here to read the full interview. Mia Lipman: In Hallucinations, you mention that your childhood migraines are one of the reasons you became a neurologist. How did they help shape your path? Dr. Sacks: My experiences go back to my first memories of when I was three or four, suddenly seeing a brilliant zigzag which seemed to be vibrating, then enlarged and covered everything to one side. This has happened innumerable times since, but that first time was very terrifying…I know I was in the garden, and part of the garden wall seemed to disappear, and I asked my mother about it. She too had classical migraines, so she explained what it was about and said that it was benign and it would only last a few minutes, and I'd be none the worse. So though I'm not in love with the attacks, it's nice to know that one can live with this quite well. So that early experience made you curious about why this was happening to you? Indeed, and there were other experiences. Sometimes it was just color, perhaps in one half of the visual field, or things would be frozen and I couldn't see any movement. So I think this gave me a very early feeling that it's only the privilege of a normal brain which allows us to see the way we do—and that what seems to be a simple vision in fact must have dozens of different components, and any one of these can go down. So it was a learning experience for me as well. Speaking of learning experiences, you talk in the book about a period in your 30s when you did a lot of hallucinogenic drugs— Ah, I thought that would come up. [Laughing.] Of course, it's the best part! I especially liked your description of the results as "a mix of the neurological and the divine." What did this self-experimentation teach you about your field, as well as personally? I can't conceal that my motives were sort of mixed, but these were learning experiences as well as recreational ones, and occasionally terrifying ones. The gain, I think, [is that] it's a way of revealing various capacities and incapacities in the brain, including, perhaps, mystical ones…I quote William James, who, after taking nitrous oxide, said that it showed him there were many forms of consciousness other than rational consciousness, and that these seem to be uncovered one by one. And that's quite an experience. I do not recommend it to anybody, and I hope my writing about these things is not seen as a recommendation. I think I'm very lucky to have survived them, which several of my friends and contemporaries didn't. > Continue reading "The Neurological and the Divine: An Interview with Oliver Sacks" (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:46:57 -0400) An investigation into the types, physiological sources, and cultural resonances of hallucinations traces everything from the disorientations of sleep and intoxication to the manifestations of injury and illness.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Hydropower - Synergy with Other Renewable Energies
Storage hydro and, in regions where the quantity of water is limited, pumped storage can solve a plethora of system challenges. It can follow load fluctuations, so that fossil-fuel plants can continue to operate at their best efficiency. Wind power produces a variable and intermittent supply and hydro can provide the firming capacity to ensure both security and quality in the system. The characteristics of geothermal plant are well suited to base-load operation; hydro's flexibility can support it by meeting peaks in demand. Similar synergies with solar, bio-generation and marine power will develop as these technologies move into larger-scale deployment. In many regions where there is a diverse mix in the power system, storage hydro and pumped storage ensure total system security and maintain the quality of supply.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Ninth-ranked South Carolina and coach Steve Spurrier got a big scare to open the season. Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw helped the Gamecocks grind their way through past scrappy Vanderbilt.
Lattimore ran for two touchdowns and 110 yards in his first game back after tearing his left ACL, and Shaw ran for 92 yards while playing the second half with an injured shoulder as No. 9 South Carolina rallied for a 17-13 victory against Vanderbilt on Thursday night.
"Maybe it's good for us ...," Spurrier said. "You look at the preseason press we thought we were hot stuff. Then we almost got that stuff beat out of us."

This is the highest ranking South Carolina has ever started a season, and the Gamecocks are expected to challenge for an SEC East title after going 11-2 last season.
But Shaw bruised his right, throwing shoulder late in the first half and missed the first two series of the third quarter before returning. The junior drove the Gamecocks for the go-ahead touchdown and ran 12 yards to the Vandy 1 before rolling in pain in the end zone.
Lattimore scored the go-ahead TD on a 1-yard run with 11:25 to go.
"They gave me some medicine," Shaw said. "I got a ball and just started working out, I didn't want it to get stiff on me. It was painful, but I got through it."
Spurrier called Shaw's performance gutsy after taking a helmet to the shoulder blade that left his throwing shoulder bruised but not dislocated. Spurrier said Shaw even assured him he could pick up a first down inside the final minute to make sure the Gamecocks ran out the clock to seal the win.
"He'll be sore for a while. I think he should be OK. Had some nice runs there. He was hurting a little bit. That's what it took," Spurrier said.
Vanderbilt had plenty of time to attempt a comeback, the last with 5:08 left. But the Commodores turned it over on downs with 1:47 to go when Jordan Matthews couldn't handle a fourth-down pass from Jordan Rodgers. Gamecocks defensive back D.J. Swearinger appeared to grab Matthews' arm before the ball arrived.
"You did know the SEC just came out with very clear rules about talking about the officials and what happens after games," Vanderbilt coach James Franklin. `'Trying to get me fined?"
Matthews refused to comment on the no-call, though he waved his arms looking for a flag.
"I've got to get more open," Matthews said.
Vanderbilt didn't have the sellout crowd Franklin wanted, but most of the 38,393 who did turn out were wearing black as part of a "blackout." The Commodores came up with three sacks and forced two turnovers, and they outgained South Carolina 276-272 in total offense. But South Carolina had a 115-17 advantage in the fourth quarter.
"At some point, we've got to find a way to win these tough games," Franklin said. "The margin of error is not real big for us."
But South Carolina had Lattimore and Shaw running through and around the Commodores all night long. Lattimore played for the first time since tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament last October. The Gamecocks also got five sacks, and Shaq Wilson came up with an interception to end a Vandy scoring threat that set up Lattimore's first TD, a 29-yarder in the first quarter.
"We couldn't get much passing, so we had to at least try to run and get a touchdown or two and let our defense play," Spurrier said. "And fortunately, our defense held them to 13."
The Gamecocks' night started off with two turnovers and a penalty on their first four offensive plays. Lattimore lost a fumble on his first carry. Spurrier used three different quarterbacks, including senior Seth Strickland who's only on the depth chart as a holder when Shaw shuffled to the sideline holding his right arm close to his side to protect his aching shoulder.
"I hated that happening, but I just had to forget about it," Lattimore said of his fumble. "After a few runs, I started to feel like myself again."
South Carolina finished with 67 yards passing, a rare stat for a Spurrier-coached team.
"I hope we play a lot better offensively next week," Spurrier said of the home opener against East Carolina.
Even with the ugly start, South Carolina jumped out to a 10-0 lead. Vanderbilt came right back with 10 straight points to tie it up going into halftime.
Rodgers threw a 78-yard TD pass to Matthews in the second quarter as Vanderbilt scored 10 straight points to tie up the Gamecocks. Carey Spear put Vanderbilt ahead 13-10 with his second field goal, a 44-yarder, with 6:51 left in the third quarter.
Shaw was hurt at the end of a 2-yard run down to the Vanderbilt 46 late in the first half. He went to the sideline before going to the locker room where he was examined. Dylan Thompson finished the half and oversaw two three-and-outs to start the second half before Shaw ran back to the Gamecocks' sideline.
The junior quarterback, who now has won nine of his 10 starts, came back into the game with 6:02 left in the third quarter. He went three-and-out himself before putting together the game-winning drive. The big play was a 20-yard pass to Justice Cunningham. Officials flagged Vanderbilt cornerback Andre Hal for hitting a defenseless receiver above the shoulder, knocking the Cunningham's helmet off.
Hal tried to make up for the penalty with a 52-yard kickoff return, but the Commodores punted it back after going three-and-out to lose momentum.

Great little hotel for a budget price, took the AI option and wasn't disappointed, usually had cava by the bottle, food was of a good standard, nice bar area, pool clean and tidy, very close to beach and shops, bars etc.
All in all a great little hotel for the price, not five star but not five star prices either.

How Do I Deploy a Wireless LAN?
Wireless Network Security
Security is critical for your wireless network, even more so in some respects than with a wired network due to the threat of Wi-Fi eavesdroppers and hackers. Whether your wireless LAN will be deployed in your home or business, an integrated security policy that accommodates all of your users, computers and data on both the wireless and wired networks should be planned and implemented prior to deploying your wireless network. User authentication, proper authorization of access point and network interface cards, data encryption (WEP or WPA/WPA2), personal firewalls on computers and other security safeguards all need to be researched and addressed as part of implementing your network security policy.

Any Official Date?
The entire network, probably never.
The first song being brought over, ive heard 30 days after its released on the RBN.
Its already released on the Xbox.
Only select songs will be ported over to the PS3. Atleast 30 days after they come out on the RBN......from what ive heard.
But they havn't released any songs yet, when are we do for our first release?
There's a 30 day window between when a song is put up on the XBLM and when it can first appear on the PS3. This doesn't mean all songs will immediately come to the PS3 after 30 days...nor does it mean that if a song doesn't come after 30 days that it never will.

Welcome to the FimFiction group for The Conversion Bureau!
We have many many talented writers among us, and here is one of the many places we can share what tales and stories we can see in this scenario! We've been a community of friends and writers for almost a year now, and we plan to keep going!
Anyone is allowed to submit stories to the group, so have at it. The only reason we've gotten to be so big is because we always have more writers joining us out of the blue, so if you feel like you have an idea for a story, write it down and post it. We'll give you constructive criticism to help you improve your writing skills and storymaking. From complete novices to fully fledged novelists, everyone is encouraged to participate. Monthly writing events will take place starting in mid-February, with a new theme announced at the start of each event.
There are many folders (detailed below) and classification is up to the Author initiallly, but incorrectly-attributed stories may be moved or removed by a group admin.
NOTE: These will be undergoing house-cleaning in the near future, you may need to re-add your stories.
NOTE: Anti-TCB stories break from the "norm" of TCB. Broadly speaking, they ascribe darker, less benevolent (or even malevolent) intentions to the prime mover, Celestia, and to the conversion bureaus in particular.
Main: Melting pot of any and all otherwise unclassified TCB stories. Multiple posts in main and in the more-correct folder is allowed. If you feel a classification folder is missing, ask a group mod.
Featured Stories: Stories which best display the talents behind the authors in the TCB universe go here. One per customer.
Traditional: Reserved for mainly the earlier stories set in the TCB mythos. Equestria is usually expanding, Earth (in pretty dire straits) is usually going to be consumed, purification may happen. Also contains older one-shots and series that would otherwise not be classifiable as their own universe, such as Sidelines and Ten Rounds.
Yellowstone: No expansion, No Purification, Mankind gained Equestria as a neighbour more or less, along with all the races within it.
Chatoyance-Verse: Equestria is an expanding pocket universe with physics deadly to terrestrial life and will consume the planet in eight years, the Earth is over-exploited and ruined but everyone is fed, ponification is the only ticket to Lifeboat Equestria and is offered freely as a choice, HLF and PER are present. Essentially a "disaster movie" feeling.
Gammaverse: TCB written within Guardian Griffon's universe.
Cloudyverse: TCB set within Fangwarden's universe.
Other One-shots: One-shot stories set in universes that aren't any of the major ones listed above.
Other Series: Longer stories set in universes that aren't any of the major ones listed above.
Anti-TCB One-Shots: One-shot Anti-TCB stories go here.

Finally, this group is one that is for the fostering of a cooperative, friendly and safe creative environment. To that end, any user found to be harassing another will be asked to stop twice. If they fail to heed the second warning, or they have three incidents of harassment, then they will be removed from the group. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Depending on the nature of the incident, the user(s) in question may be reported to Knighty and/or Poultron at administrator discretion. For clarification, harassment is defined as insulting another user personally on faith, sexual orientation, gender, or any other qualifying attribute; insulting a user's chosen writing style, or insulting their authorverse as a whole. If a user asks you to stop, or that they consider a comment of yours harassment, do not take it upon yourself to reply or retaliate. An impartial, uninvolved administrator will handle the incident as quickly as possible.

(I was reading a TCB fanfic and I thought of this...)
Ponies... space is not for you... It's for those who seek exploration, not domination! Your race will not converge another innocent race, they may have had war like humanity but it still does not make it right. Your rocket has ventured to where humanity reins supreme, a place that you can't effect because your not the first. Other races in the stars will hear of humanities past and say that it was not justified and will cry for vengeance of the human race! The protection of there race, the protection of the Universe!
(I have no Idea how this came to mind...)
hi there is this the group that supports ACB stories?? I take the ACB preference myself but I think a really broad spectrum of different kinds of equestrian stories wether it be anti or pro conversion bureau shouldn't be a huge issue. every viewpoint creates a fresh perspective and different original storyline. I'd say they're all good in their own right it's each individuals choice.
Soundtrack playing when I'm reading these fics..
Awesome song, but I hate Misanthropic people.
Well if we dont have their names then we cant do much about it and dont often tines trolls do love to start flames wars between the two groups, just keep that in mind.
>>308584 "Fucking stupid idiots. I am headed back to the TCB group fuckers!"
One of the several comments in the several spam attacks.
I think a majority of these people come from this group.
I can't speak on behalf of the TCB group but I can tell you that I don't think anyone in here is spamming the ACB and if it is regarding your name change it really isn't our fault or problem. I think it falls within the controls of the ACB moderators and how they handle themselves as a group.
>>308475 I am fine with the folders, I am just confused as to why people keep spaming the ACB group about several things, including how they didn't like our name.
Time and time again we have to remove entire threads just because of spam attacks.
I am not demanding the change of anything here, I have no right. I was just stating that it doesn't make sense how people from here make the time to spam us because of a name. When their own group uses the exact same thing.
But yes, you are right about the name change. It was to make us look less like a hate group, and I hope I didn't make it sound like I was saying it was because of a spam attack.
But, like I stated, there was a 'spam attack' that included hatefull messages regarding the ACB groups name.
That is all I was trying to say.
Its the way we organized the folders and from what I've seen we weren't complaining about the ACB. I believe when Knightly was going to close down the ACB, Valkaden changed the name in order to show that it was another group of TCB instead of it being portrayed as some sort of hate group that most people view it as.
If I'm wrong then shoot me a PM with a link or something and I'll try and figure it out then I'll talk to Krass about it to see about changing the folders but I doubt the folders will be changed because its easier to identify what is what in the group. I mean the ACB was made for those kind of stories, this group is just TCB as a whole.
UUhhh what is with the Anti-TCB thing here? Alot of TCB people bitched about how Anti-Conversion Bureau was offensive or something.
So we renamed our group Alternative-Converstion Bureau, when suddenly the group of which the people who bitched about our groups name uses Anti-Converstion Bureau!
I am confused? Did I miss something? What was the point in those spam attacks about our groups name when you people use it freely?
Oh I know I was just talking about the Anti-TCB stories not the other categories.
There are more TCB stories other than an Evil Celly. I mean TCB isn't some sort of collaborative effort but just a bunch of stories that share the concepts of "potions turning people into ponies and Equestria appears on Earth in a bubble."
Yeah can't wait to see what else is coming up. And the issue about celestia is due to the anti-TCB stories, they enforce my dislike for her.
Ehhh TCB is TCB and its the way the author writes it. Most of the time Celly isn't evil because most of the time she's not in the stories. The only time she appears are in the conversion dreams or when the author forces her in. The times she is evil are usually in Anti TCB stories and comes of overbearing in most of Chatoyance's stories. But don't worry this group has a ton of TCB stories and often times usually gets a few posted here.
To be honest I was skeptic about these TCB stories, but then I felt like I should read one of them which is my favorite right now 'the other side of the spectrum'. After reading it so far I never felt so hooked to it. It has a good amount of drama and action. It also shows how much I hate sunbutt and her so called 'helping', nonetheless these stories actually look great. Can wait for more stories!

Historic Structure Audit for National Park Service
Additional $25,000 will extend fieldwork through the end of the year
The National Park Service has awarded the University of Maryland's Historic Preservation Program a
$25,000 contract extension to conduct historic structures fieldwork within the National Capital area. The
additional funding will allow students and faculty from the Historic Preservation Program to continue
their work in documenting the condition of hundreds of historic buildings and structures throughout the
"We are very excited to be able to continue this work for the National Park Service," said Dr. Don
Linebaugh, Director of University of Maryland's Historic Preservation Program. "This is a wonderful
opportunity for our students to apply their coursework to real world issues."
The fieldwork project began last fall with an initial $80,000 from the National Park Service - National
Capital Region (NPS-NCR), and focuses on updating condition records for the hundreds of historic
buildings and structures that dot both the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park and the
George Washington Memorial Parkway. Led by Christine Henry, Assistant to the Director of the Historic
Preservation program, a group of ten students spent the spring and summer months traversing nearly
25 miles of the GW Parkway and 70 miles of the C & O Canal. Resources ranged from lockhouses and
sculptures to earthworks, drainage systems and culverts.
During the initial contract, students nearly completed the survey of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway, successfully updated conditions of 164 structures including Arlington House and associated
structures and the historic structures on Theodore Roosevelt Island. In addition, the team assessed 431
sites along the C & O Canal, all by foot or bike. Throughout the project, Henry uploaded the students'
photos and notes into the National Park Service database for review. This valuable information not only
serves as a running history of the area's historic resources, it also clues the National Park Service into
any changes, deterioration or storm damage seen on the ground, allowing them to determine what, if
any action needs to be taken.
"We have a wide range of structures in the national capital region, from national monuments to
over 200 culverts along the C & O Canal," explains Martha Temkin, Cultural Resource Specialist, NPS-
NCR. "These condition updates not only keep a record of our historic resources, but they allow us to
observe and monitor changes over several years. This is particularly important when considering factors
such as climate change."
According to Henry, all National Parks are required to perform audits of their historic structures on
a cyclical basis, which, in an area like Washington, DC, is extensive and time-consuming. Tasking
Maryland's Historic Preservation program with the project is a win-win, providing a meaningful, hands-
on experience to the students while performing an invaluable service to the National Park Service.
"This is an incredible opportunity for our students to learn tangible, hands-on skills," says
Henry. "Documentation experience, particularly on a Federal project, is really significant for when
students enter the professional field. As a bonus, they get to experience and see parts of Washington
they wouldn't otherwise see."
The group has also found an unexpected aspect to their fieldwork: the curiosity of the public. Questions
from "sight see-ers" and joggers have turned many of the students into impromptu docents.
"There is definitely a public history aspect to this project," explains Henry, "People we encounter out in
the field are generally very interested in what we're doing and take a lot of pleasure in learning about
these historic resources, some of which they pass every day without even knowing."
This semester, two graduate assistants will pick up where last year's team left off, completing the GW
Parkway audit and continuing the documentation of the C& O Canal. As winter approaches, the students
will have better access to areas made inaccessible to last year's group by the DC region's early spring,
or "green up."
"I think the biggest plus for me has been the opportunity to gain some experience in the field
documenting historic structures and landscapes," says John Gentry, a Preservation Graduate Student
who will continue fieldwork this semester. "The project has also given me the chance to apply some of
the knowledge gained in my class on the conservation of historic structures."
"Opportunities like the National Park Service project provide the critical hands-on approach to learning
that make our program so exceptional," says David Cronrath, Dean of Maryland's School of Architecture,
Planning and Preservation. "Exploring concepts through practice as part of their education allow our
students to enter the professional world more prepared, capable and confident."

AUBURN -- Auburn's Chief of Police Gary Giannotta and Deputy Police Chief Thomas Murphy both announced their retirement Monday afternoon.
The announcement comes after $400,000 was cut from the budget.
Giannotta said in a release that he has been employed by the City of Auburn for 31 years and has been Auburn's Police Chief for the past 16 years.
In the release, Giannotta wrote in part: "With the imminent passage of the upcoming budget, I find that I cannot support the changes that the City Council is proposing to put into place. It is my belief that they are detrimental to the safety and operation of the not only the Police department but the Citizens of Auburn."
In an interview with CNYCentral's Matt Mulcahy the police chief said, ""These cuts will be detrimental to the department. Public Safety is jeopardized with these cuts." Giannotta had been planning to retire in a couple of years, but he said these cuts sped up his decision to step down. "That was the candle on the cake," said the chief.
Murphy said in a release that he has been employed by the City of Auburn for 38 years and has worked as a patrolman, detective, Captain of Detectives and Deputy Police Chief.
In the release, Murphy wrote in part: "I am proud of 85 years of service that my family has given to the City if Auburn. It has been a privilege to have served the citizens of this community for the past thirty eight years and I retire with no regrets and a thank you to all."
The Auburn Police Department was the subject of a CNY Central investigation back in February when a sergeant's police car was hit by a pickup truck that slid on ice. The official accident report did not include the fact the sergeant's teenage daughter and a friend were in the car when it was hit.
That is a violation of city policy. The accident report was later corrected and the sergeant was disciplined. The Chief insisted there was no cover-up, and blamed it on poor communication between officers.

Dr. Oz has raved about the benefits of Oolong Tea many times on his show, so when I came across it this weekend while browsing the aisles in Marshall's, I threw it in my cart without hesitation.
This is why I love Marshall's… So many hidden gems.
Oolong Tea
"It's not black tea or green tea, but the combo of the two that gives this tea its metabolic benefits. You get the power of the caffeine and antioxidants, which have been shown to increase post-drinking caloric burn by about 5% for an hour. Equally exciting is that oolong actually inhibits the absorption of some fat consumed at meals (it's not a "fat blocker" though so you don't have to worry about healthy nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins not making it into your system). Less fat absorbed and less triglycerides made means a healthier waistline and healthier cholesterol levels"- doctoroz.com
"Oolong tea is a product made from the leaves, buds, and stems of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is partially fermented, where black tea is fully fermented, and green tea is unfermented.
Oolong tea is used to sharpen thinking skills, improve mental alertness, and is also used to prevent cancer, tooth decay, osteoporosis, and heart disease.
Some people use oolong tea to treat obesity, diabetes, "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol and skin allergies such as eczema; and to boost the immune system." – WebMD
For more information about the connection between Oolong Tea and weight loss, CLICK HERE
I swapped my usual black coffee this morning for cup of Oolong, and I couldn't help but notice the feeling of natural alertness that it left me with. Minus the jitters.
Mixed with a packet of Stevia in the Raw, it was slightly sweet, wonderfully soothing, and tamed my appetite to a cat's meow versus an angry lion's roar.
My stomach can be very demanding when it's hungry.
By the time lunch rolled around, I was ready to eat.
(green beans mixed with fresh salsa and balsamic vinaigrette, alongside a 4 egg white omelet with goat cheese and cucumbers.
This tea is a keeper, and I will definitely be adding a cup a day to my routine. Thank you Marshall's

Major student group to skip Quebec summit
February 14th, 2013 • The Canadian Press
ASSE calls for protest on Feb. 26
Premier Pauline Marois says it's too bad a major Quebec student union group will boycott the province's much-touted summit on post-secondary education because it's depriving itself of the right to be heard.
The more hardline ASSE group says it will skip the upcoming summit because the Parti Quebecois government has refused to consider the option of free university tuition.
Instead, group spokesman Jeremie Bedard-Wien says he's calling for a large popular and student demonstration during the summit on Feb. 26.
Marois says she regrets the group's decision and points out the event will discuss a variety of subjects, not just tuition fees.
