Why celebrate all these Jewish holidays? Haven't those been done away with?
There are seven Feasts or Holy Days commanded in the Bible – four in the Spring, and three in the Fall. It's true, Jews had been observing these Feasts for 1,400 years before Yeshua's birth. But what if Yehovah set those dates as days He intends to fulfill specific prophecies in Yeshua's lifetime and His second coming? Wouldn't you want to know which dates those were? Let's recount what happened on the Spring Feast dates during Yeshua's lifetime. (more…)
Why Count the Omer? Part 2: Nine Days of Prayer
In Leviticus 23:15 God instructs us to count the seven weeks (49 days) that occur before the Day of Pentecost (the 50th day) also called the Festival of Weeks and Shavuot in Hebrew. But counting days with no explanation? Why would this be important to God and to us?
For the Israelites, it pertained mainly to their harvest cycle and offerings to be presented. For us living after the time of Yeshua, and the giving of the Holy Spirit to the disciples, we can see the spiritual implications of this count. We know that on the 50th day after Yeshua's resurrection, something unimaginably wonderful happened: The pouring out of the Holy Spirit not only on the disciples, but on all those who come to faith in Yeshua as the Messiah! The implications of that day reverberate even stronger in these last of the last days. The 50th day is one I want to be prepared for every year. (more…)
Alignment with God's Promises Brings God's Blessings
God has promised us so many blessings in His word. Many of these are conditional – that is, they require something of us in order for God's full blessing to be released. Some of the most familiar are the "be-attitudes": "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:7-9)
There are three promises I've decided to make a pursuit of mine in recent years — promises of blessings that require my action. These are probably some of the most explicit promises of blessing in the Bible, yet possibly some of the most overlooked. I began pursuing these three within a few months of each other. Not too long afterward I felt showered in unexpected blessings. (more…)
The Blessing of the Sabbath
The Sabbath – we think of the Jewish day of rest, or maybe any day when we're not working, or the day we attend church. Yeshua says of the Sabbath, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27). The Sabbath is one of the blessings God made for mankind to enjoy. He practiced it Himself on the seventh day of creation. Was God tired? Had all the work He'd done on the first six days worn Him out? I can imagine it could, but no — God created it along with the world and its inhabitants as a gift to man, animals and the land.
A day, 24 hours, of no work — to most people that is a luxury. When I first got a hold of the concept that the Sabbath was to be a blessing for man, and decided to try it, it was difficult. (more…)

Sept. 1, 2007
by David Brauer, NIU Associate Director of Media Relations
Northern Illinois women's soccer coach Marci Miller Jobson truly lives separate soccer lives. Not only does she balance the building of a program and the responsibilities of being a head coach, but she has the unique perspective of being a member of the U.S. Women's World Cup team that begins play Sept. 11 in China.
Named to the U.S. team in mid-July as one of the squad's first 18 roster selections, Jobson was thrilled to get word that she will be donning the red, white and blue while competing in the most prestigious event her sport has to offer.
"Obviously it is a great honor to be named to the World Cup team," said Jobson at her selection. "It is something that I have been working for throughout my career and to play for the national team is a goal I've had since I was a kid. Playing on the World Cup team and representing the U.S. is a great honor. Everyone at NIU, the team, Paul [Jobson] and the coaches, and Jim Phillips, has been extremely supportive towards my ambition to attain this goal."
While the goal of making the team was realized after two years of preparation in residency camp with her teammates, the journey has created a lasting memory.
"Finding out that I was selected to the World Cup team was a very memorable experience, but being part of the team has been an even greater experience," said Jobson. "You are representing your country and when you put on the jersey and hear the national anthem it gives you chills because you realize that you are playing for the U.S. It is truly an awesome thing. Being part of this team and how we have come together, bonded and built cohesiveness is probably my greatest sporting moment."
Jobson, a native of St. Charles, recently played an exhibition match August 12 at Soldier Field as the U.S. rolled to a 6-1 victory over New Zealand. Three days later, her Huskies opened the 2007 season with their first practice.
Sunday, August 5 - Jobson meets with her coaching staff including husband and associate head coach, Paul and assistant coach Chuck Codd at 8 a.m. at Starbucks to plan for the upcoming season. Among the topics covered are: sorting and distribution of equipment, making sure the players are eligible and cleared by the NCAA clearing house, and planning the preseason schedule. After the meeting each coach works to take care of their assigned duties. At 2 p.m., Jobson does an individual training session in DeKalb where U.S. National team assistant coach Brett Hall puts Jobson through a two-hour "light" session. Afterwards, Jobson goes home, has dinner and packs for her week in Chicago with the U.S. team. She wraps up the day by planning out the recruiting calls that need to be made.
Monday, August 6 - Jobson wakes up and heads to Starbucks, which she describes as "her favorite thing to do", and heads to Elburn to take the train into Chicago. Upon arriving in the city, Jobson goes to the team hotel and unpacks. She then meets up with her teammates and catches up with them. Jobson's roommate is Stephane Lopez, a 21-year-old player at the University of Portland. "It is kind of funny that I room with someone who is the same age as the girls I coach at NIU."
Lopez has some big news for her teammates, she's engaged, and shows everyone her engagement ring. Jobson also finds time during the evening to fulfill her duties as the editor of the Women's National Team newspaper, which serves as the squad's internal newsletter. "That involves putting together a bunch of cheesy quotes and pictures and fun notes," said Jobson.
At noon, Jobson and the U.S. National team heads for their training session at Toyota Park in preparation for their exhibition match against New Zealand in less than a week. The team trains against a team of 16-17 year olds boys and they joke that it will be a tough week. After the two-hour session, the team returns to the hotel for lunch. After lunch, Jobson heads back to her room to make recruiting calls and follow up on some prospects that she saw at a recent tournament in Iowa. "We are trying to shore up our recruiting class for next season," Jobson said as she made 8-10 calls that evening. After calling recruits, Marci calls husband Paul. "We usually get all the business stuff out of the way first and then we have a normal married conversation." She calls it a day around 11 p.m.
Tuesday, August 7 through Saturday, August 10 - Jobson and her teammates follow the schedule of a typical day starting with breakfast, a two to three hour training session at Toyota Park, lunch and meetings. During the late afternoon, the team has about two hours of free time. "That is when I make my calls to recruits and take care of the things I need to do involving NIU," said Jobson." The evening consists of dinner, more meetings and a bit of down time before lights out at 11 p.m. Saturday's schedule varies slightly in that the team heads to the match site, Soldier Field, to practice. That day there are an increased number of meetings with specialists, such as sleep specialist who describes how to adjust to the vastly different time zone in China, and random drug-testing as mandated by FIFA. With increased scrutiny being placed on athletes and performance-enhancing drugs, a doctor speaks to the team to make them aware of what supplements they can and cannot take. Additional time is spent on sorting out tickets for family and friends, which as a native of the Chicagoland area, Jobson has plenty of people who will be in attendance.
Sunday, August 12 - Game day. The day starts early with excitement and anticipation in the air. The team arrives at Soldier Field approximately two hours ahead of the match's start time. In the locker room, the team stays loose by listening to music and having fun. "It's exciting to see people filing into the stadium when you arrive," said Jobson. Warm-ups begin about an hour prior to kickoff and Jobson scans the seats to locate family, friends and members of her NIU team in the crowd. "It was great to see so many people there supporting me and to seeing some Marci Jobson posters was cool," said Jobson. Marci and her teammates then focus on the game as they go through warm-ups. The match itself is dominated by the U.S. to the tune of a 6-1 final outcome with Jobson seeing about 15 minutes of playing time. After the game, Jobson signs autographs for fans and visits with family, friends and her NIU team before heading back to the locker room. Afterwards, she goes to dinner with Paul and his family and returns back to DeKalb later that night.
Monday, August 13 - Jobson again puts her NIU coaching hat back on to prepare her squad for the opening of practice. "Monday was a long day of getting information packets printed and equipment together and doing all the little things that need to get done before practice starts," said Jobson. During the afternoon, Jobson takes 30 minutes out to conduct interviews with the Rockford Register-Star and ESPNU.com. After a long day of working on details with her assistant coaches, Marci and Paul found a couple hours of down time that evening to take a walk and watch television. "That is something that we really don't get much time to do," said Marci.
Tuesday, August 14 - Jobson gets to the office early and prepares for the first team meeting of the season. There, she discusses the team rules, introduces support staff and distributes equipment. While the players got their physicals, Marci dashed home to cook and prepare for the team dinner that night at the Jobson house. When she returned she met back up with the squad for the 2007 team photo. Jobson then went to do an individual running and fitness training session before returning home to host the team.
Wednesday, August 15 through Friday, August 17 - The Huskies begin their preseason regiment of morning fitness sessions and technical work by each position, followed by a set-play walkthroughs. After lunch and a mid day break, the team practices from 4-6 p.m. followed by dinner and meetings before wrapping up around 8:30 p.m. During the early afternoon, Jobson spends time on her own training, partnering with former Huskie standout Katie (Klaas) Eriksson on Wednesday and working with Hall on Thursday. Jobson evaluates the fitness of each player and whether they have passed their tests. If they do, they will be included on the trip to Florida. "Any player who passes their tests and gets their gear will go, but we want to make sure that they understand that making the trip is a reward," Jobson added.
Saturday, August 18 - Marci and her team go separate ways. Jobson heads to Los Angeles to train with the U.S. team while husband and associate head coach, Paul, and the rest of the coaches and team heads to Orlando for a week of training that includes two exhibition matches. Upon arrival in L.A., Marci gets settled in before a light training session with the U.S. squad. "We usually do some light running to get our legs back after travel," said Jobson.
Sunday, August 19 and beyond - Marci and her U.S. teammates begin more intense workouts and preparations for the World Cup, including a August 25 exhibition against Finland at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Beyond the work on the field, Jobson spends the next two weeks getting ready for the trip to China, including purchasing groceries and other travel necessities. In addition, she will continue to hit the recruiting trail by phone while balancing her life as U.S. national player and NIU head coach. On August 27, Jobson and the U.S. National team depart for China where they will spend the next month at the Women's World Cup.
Editor's Note: Follow Marci Miller Jobson at the World Cup in China on www.niuhuskies.com. The official website of Huskie athletics will feature a diary of Jobson's journey throughout the tournament.

Carlos De Andrade Wins X Box World Championship--Street
Posted By etnies in Skate, Skip To The Comments (5)
Sep 29 2003 / Monday
Over the weekend, etnies rider Carlos De Andrade put together some flawless skateboarding to cement a 1st place finish in the street event at the X Box World Championships of Skateboarding in Oceanside, California.
No stranger to the pressure of huge skateboarding contests, Carlos pulled-off a come-from-behind victory at this years X Box with a little help from a great cheering section in the stands. Friends of both Carlos and the etnies family (affectionately known as ғthe Brazilian cheering squad) cheered him on as the Brazil native represented hard with some solid, powerful runs.
With a few missed tricks and a tough slam to his arm in his first run, Carlos came back to put together an incredibly imaginative and consistent line throughout the street course for his second. Connecting switch tricks (including a huge switch 180 over the fun box) into regular (feeble and Smith grind variations on the flat bar on the other side) throughout his second run, CarlosԒ skating earned him a 1st place finish and a fat check for $18,500, as well as the screaming accolades of the crowd.
etnies would like to congratulate Carlos on another great win, and wish him continued success for 2003! Congrats, Carlos!

The best-known ones are to be found in the old part of town.
La Perla has long been associated with Hemingway. The Yoldi, near the old quarter, has long been associated with the bull-fighters and their entourage; the toreros used to go there. The Maisonave and the Europa are both to be found within the old part of town. The former has an underground parking lot. The Europa also has the famous Restaurante Europa. This hotel usually organizes somekind of exhibition connected with the Fiesta during the San Fermines. The latter hotel has one of the best restaurants in the city. Nearby is the Eslava and each of these places has all the pandemonium and atmospere of the Fiesta at their doorstep. On the periferies of the old quarter you can find the Leyre (in former times called The Orhy) The Avenida (where a foreign "Peña" -The Borussia - always stay). Tres Reyes stands out as the biggest hotel and looks onto the old quarter in all its solemn splendour.
It must be remembered that all these hotels are very close to all the action going on in the old part and if you are a light sleeper and seek some peace and quiet then it might be better to look for an hotel further out in the newer suburbs.
Suburbs like SAN JUAN-ERMITAGAÑA or ITURRAMA all have hotels of modern construction. The Ciudad de Pamplona can be found in Iturrama, which has its own particular atmosphere. Then there is the Reino de Navarra and the Sancho Ramírez which look over the Japanese park called Yamaguchi. In Ermitagaña there is a very big hotel with some 226 rooms called Iruña Park (NH) as well as the Albret which is an hotel which is easy to get to by car.
In the surrounding towns there are some good hotels which won't have put up their prices as dramatically as Pamplona and which will be a good deal quieter. The Jakue is just outside Puente la Reina, situated on The Road to Santiago ("Done Jakueko bidea" means "The Road to Santiago" in Euskera language.) At about five kilometres from Pamplona you can find the Hotel el Toro in Berrioplano. In Huarte, about seven kilometres out from Pamplona is the Don Carlos and in Villava (3 Km.) La Buhardilla.
These hotels should be booked well in advance. Many people book their rooms for the following year at the same moment as they check out after the Fiesta. There is a central booking office (Eslava 1, Tf. 948 20 65 41) where you can try to book in for any of the hotels.
Listed below are some of the hotels where you can give a needed rest to your post-partying body. We inform you about the distance between each hotel and the old part of town (plaza del Castillo) and about means of transport you can use.

There are several housing developments that offer affordable units under the City of Redondo Beach's Affordable Housing Program. These units are sold to low or moderate income households and must remain affordable for the required affordable period (usually 30 or 55 years from the time the unit was built). During this affordable period, any Affordable Housing Program unit that is sold must be purchased by an eligible buyer and the price of the unit must fall within an affordable price limit calculated by the City. Prices are calculated for affordability using the area median income as published by the State of California; this calculation is not driven by property values or other market conditions.
The City records a lien on each affordable unit that remains on title for the duration of the affordability period. The lien ensures that the City is able to enforce the Affordable Housing Program requirements, including the resale restrictions.

So happy we chose to stay at the Hallmark and not on-site at Manchester Airport.
Comfortable room, quiet location but no more than fifteen minutes from the airport. Arrived at terminal relaxed and well set with a hearty breakfast. Staff were very helpful.

Marijuana leads to homosexuality ... and therefore to AIDS.lol
While in this condition [high on marijuana] they become raving maniacs and are liable to kill or indulge in any form of violence to other persons, using the most savage methods of cruelty without, as said before, any sense of moral responsibility. . . . If this drug is indulged in to any great extent, it ends in the untimely death of its addict.
We now know, this was a blatant lie.
The voters in this country should not be expected to decide which medicines are safe and effective.Obviously, the voters shouldn't decide anything.
We've got a national campaign by drug legalizers, in my view, to try and use medicinal uses of drugs and legalization of hemp as a stalking horse to get in under the radar screen.
What the hell?
...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.Damn niggers.
How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured... No one knows, when he places a marijuana cigarette to his lips, whether he will become a joyous reveller in a musical heaven, a mad insensate, a calm philosopher, or a murderer...
More blatant lies.
I wish I could show you what a small marihuana cigarette can do to one of our degenerate Spanish-speaking residents. That's why our problem is so great; the greatest percentage of our population is composed of Spanish-speaking persons, most of who are low mentally, because of social and racial conditionsThe latino menace must be contained.

Oh noez, not peace! and communism... what the hell?
Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.This guy is addicted to lies.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa tells Le Figaro:
In his first interview to a leading European
journal since the victory against the LTTE in May this President Mahinda
Rajapaksa has defended himself against the many attacks on him in the
West for alleged negligence of human rights and has called on the West
to help Sri Lanka rebuild and resettle the people affected by the 30
year long war against terror in the country, which had impacted other
countries in the region, too.
Asked how he would restore peace in the
country, President Rajapaksa said the absolute priority was to permit
displaced people to go back to their villages, especially in the North.
"We first need to finish the mine clearance for people to be able to go
back home and cultivate their land. Then, we need to develop the country
and we are calling upon foreign investors to do so."
Asked why the persons displaced by the war are
still confined in camps the President emphasized they were not in camps
by our own doing but because the LTTE took them hostages. "We can't
leave them outside and let them step on a mine. We also have to sort out
the ones who are linked with terrorists and those aren't. They are not
in camps by our own doing but because the LTTE took them hostages."
The wide ranging interview by Pierre Rousselin
covers, among other matters, the recent Channel 4 fabrication of a
summary execution of civilians by Sri Lankan forces, the verdict and
sentence on journalist J. Tissainayagam, the President's plans for a
political solution and the next Presidential election.
Following is the translation into English of the interview published
in French, conducted in Colombo on September 4, 2009 and published in Le
Figaro of September 8.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa
Le Figaro - In May, you won the victory against the Tigers,
putting an end to a thirty-year-old conflict. How are you going to bring
peace in your country and rebuild it?
President Rajapaksa - First of all, we have to permit displaced
people to go back to their villages, especially in the North. We first
need to finish the mine clearance for people to be able to go back home
and cultivate their land. This is the absolute priority. Then, we need
to develop the country and we are calling upon foreign investors to do
Why is the return of refugees so slow? Will you be able to honour
your commitment to repatriate 80 percent of them by the end of the year?
The obstacle resides in mines. It's a more serious problem than we
expected. The Army works relentlessly from morning till night to remove
them. Over one thousand families are home now, and so are the eldest
people. Currently, there are 220,000 refugees. By mid-September, 50,000
are likely to have left the camps.
Why are displaced people locked into camps?
We can't leave them outside and let them step on a mine. We also have
to sort out the ones who are linked with terrorists and those who
aren't. They are not in camps by our own doing but because the LTTE took
them hostage.
The Western countries criticize your army for having killed many
civilians towards the end of the war. What is your answer?
I do not accept these criticisms. I don't know how another country
would have coped. We fed, we paid the salary of civil servants who were
fighting with the terrorists. When we took over the Eastern Province,
there were no civilian victims. There were in the North. But we wouldn't
have lost so many men in the army if we had used heavy weapons. We did
not tell it publicly at the time because the military officers would
have rebelled. But this is a fact and the opposition criticized us for
You are still criticized even though the war came to an end. The
recent condemnation of a journalist, J.S. Tissainayagam, to a
twenty-year sentence gave rise to a broad disapproval...
The judge gave the verdict in all independence. I can't interfere in
court orders. There are still possibilities of appeal before the Appeal
Court of the Supreme Court. People say the freedom of the press is
threatened, but they do not say a group of journalists was demonstrating
in front of the court even before the judgement was given.
Should the sentence be confirmed, could you use your right of
We need to wait until all the recourse procedures have been used.
I'll take my decision when the time has come, but we can't consider that
journalists are above the law.
You do know that this question is an international issue for your
This is due to the LTTE propaganda. For the West, the LTTE can do
whatever they want, kill whoever they want, murder Prime Minister Rajiv
Gandhi (in 1991) without anybody to protest.
This is a shame, but that's the way it is. There are two sets of
rules. The journalist we talked about has not been tried because he is a
journalist but because of his ties with the terrorists.
The war is over. When are you going to raise the state of
As soon as possible. We have to sort out the people displaced to see
how many of them are linked with the LTTE leaders and have to be
prosecuted. Terrorists do not wear uniforms; they become civilians as
soon as they lay down arms. But we can't let them free.
How long is it going to take? Weeks, months, years?
It depends of the return of the refugees. It could take six months,
one year. I don't want to make promises I would not keep. The West has
to help us and stop criticizing us so unfairly.
From November onwards, you will be able to call for presidential
elections. When will they take place?
As soon as possible.
At the beginning of next year?
Will you campaign with a program of settlement of the Tamil issue?
Yes. We are ready to apply the 13th Amendment of the Constitution
which provides decentralization and the establishment of local
(provincial) councils. This provision was not enforced because of the
war. We are even ready to go a little bit further.
Will this satisfy the Tamil leaders?
There will always be people asking for more. But what the population
wants is peace and security. They want schools. They've had enough of
the war. Politicians are interested in these other questions.
Are you satisfied with the help brought by the West?
The aid for the return of refugees goes through NGOs, who are
spending about 40 to 60 percent for administrative matters. We saw this
with the tsunami.
You don't like NGOs...
Some of the NGOs helped the LTTE. Others did their work. But even the
UN agencies slow down the process of normalization.
A video broadcast in Great Britain showed what looked like summary
executions by soldiers of the Army. How do you retort to the sharp
criticisms it gave rise to?
We have elements showing that this video is a set-up. This is not the
first time members of the LTTE use Army uniforms to stage events with
propagandist aims.
You met Colonel Gaddhafi and Hugo Chavez in Tripoli. You went to
Burma. Why do you carry on openly with leaders who are not the best
friends of the West?
No Western country is inviting me! But when I'm invited to a friendly
country, I go. We are a founding country of the non-aligned movement. I
also go to India when I have the opportunity...
Journalists disappear, others are assassinated. Sri Lanka does not
embody a very rigorous democracy...
This is all propaganda. The press is free, criticism is free. The
opposition can even go to Brussels to do lobbying against the renewal by
the European Union of the GSP + system.
As for journalists disappearing, most of them reappear to claim visas
in consulates. We want to develop this country. We want to avoid any
kind of discrimination against Sinhalese, Tamils or Muslims.
We want Western countries to help us, to trust us and stop listening
to the LTTE propaganda. France has been fair than many other countries.
It supported us in our fight against terrorism and never aligned itself
with the LTTE.

The goal of this requirement is to provide out of the box integration with an ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) tool to simplify the process of bulk uploading to Liferay. An ETL tool allows extracting data from a source, transforming it as needed and load it into a target system.
Some example Open Source ETL tools are:
- Talend: http://uk.talend.com/index.php
- Penhaho Kettle: http://kettle.pentaho.com/
In order to remain tool agnostic, Liferay will be modified to allow an standard way to input bulk data. In particular Liferay will provide a web service URL for each of the items that are allowed to be bulk uploaded. The ETL tool will just have to make a POST HTTP Request to that URL with an specifically formatted body with the data to be imported. It is common for ETL tools to support this type of operation out of the box, so no specific extensions for Liferay will be necessary.
Liferay will provide a URL to which the ETL tool will be able to send a body with JSON format to specify all the fields for the web content. All valid metadata for the content will be allowed, included the generic information (title, description, tags, ...) as well as the web content structure and any fields specific to that structure. If the Web Content structure has image fields, the actual image files will be attached by making the request a multi-part request which allows attaching the files. Only one web content can be imported per request.

I didn't mention phys/spec anywhere. My point is that I shouldn't have to take Ice Beam just to stand a chance against a dragon trainer.
Huh, so I did. I must be stuck in Generation III. Anyway, I don't play the metagame. My issues are with dragons in the story and the attitude of the trainers that use them.
I'm a dragon trainer in the metagame.. Love my dragons..
Although my Psychic Pokemon has been replaced with certain general Dark types, not sure why I just have been experimenting more..
alanmoore totally BURNED you!
How? What he said makes no sense? I am a dragon trainer.. Ask Ady or Pants, lol..
Dragon-only teams really suck.
where can I contact dragon andy
I really want to meet this fellow becuase I need someon epic to bring me over the 1200 rating on smogon
blaziken is not a dragon trainer. he just tends to use excess of 3 dragons on every team besides his uber team.
PS: he uses that uber team a bit too frugally :p
Pfft. Dragons pwn Ubers. : P.
And my Uber team uses Dragons too, Garchomp, Rayquaza.. And boxes of other rubbish EV'd garbage that I have laying around the place.
Actually I still havn't got that Shiny Beldum, I'm gonna go try and catch one now..
P.S. For not being a Dragon trainer, I have alot of effing Dragons. I'm even training a Kingdra, possibly one of the ugliest Pokemon ever created.. XD
Some are Uber, and the unevolved ones probably aren't tiered.
Altaria is UU.
isnt kingdra UU? and all of the legendary dragons are uber, not OU.
bagon and gabite are NU tiered
why would anyone want a shiny metagross? shiny metagross is the ugliest shiny
no Kingdra in OU
it would break the UU metagame to pieces pants think about it its stats are all 90 you might as well of placed celebi in UU
kingdra just doesnt have any clear niche outside of being a less powerful dancer than flygon/salamence. its only big upsides are the 1 weakness, its good, but not perfect stats, and access to ice beam. its still taken down relatively easy by most UU sweeps and all OU sweeps
pants just no
if you say BL/MU for Kingdra I can understand its almost never seen in OU
but UU fuck no
in UU the ONLY pokemon that can even touch Kingdra is Uxie
BL then. its still too much like glalie to me.
one weakness is huge
also great offenses and defenses
and to finish it off its KILLER on a rain dance team and in UU rain dance teams are already || <- that close to being banned
who runs rain teams outside uber?
but it does have a nice time in rain, with like 80 others
Kingdra isn't a piece of shit like the other rain dance users.

Paul Anka And Friends Remember Annette Funicello
To Paul Anka, Annette Funicello, who was one of his first crushes, will always be the "Princess of Afternoon TV." Someone he says "was just as sweet on and off camera," and that too is how many friends and fans remember their favorite Disney Mouseketeer, who passed away April 8th after a long battle with multiple sclerosis at age 70.
And in an interview with CBS This Morning the Canadian crooner recalls how she inspired his music. "It was a time of innocence, pop music was in its infancy stage," Ottawa-born Paul revealed. "We had Disney people around and we had managers and they didn't want us to get serious - they kept harping at me that this was just a puppy love... and I wrote Puppy Love for her."
Meanwhile, one of Annette's longtime collaborators, actor and singer Frankie Avalon - who shared the screen with the star in six Beach Party films in the '60s and a series of reunion concerts in the '80s - just released this statement: "We have lost one of America's sweethearts for generations upon generations. I was fortunate enough to have been friends with Annette as well as appear in many films, TV and appearances with her. She will live forever. I will miss her and the world will miss her."

Glee Season 5 Premiere Spoilers: Blake Jenner on "Problems" Ahead — Exclusive
The show may be called Glee, but that doesn't mean things are always peachy keen and happy-go-lucky all the time. Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Blake Jenner (Ryder) back at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards on August 11, and he told us exclusively that when the show returns for Season 5 on September 26, the New Directions will be headed for some trying times.
"We're dealing with some [...] just some good teenage problems," Blake tells Wetpaint. "Some good teenage problems, backed up by some good Beatles music."
Yes, you heard that right: Beatles music. Glee's Season 5 premiere will be part one of a two-part tribute to The Beatles. So far, all we know for sure is that one of the songs will take place at a crazy, colorful carnival. Other than that, information about what exactly to expect is a bit hard to come by.
But Blake will tease this: "I can say that you're all in for a bunch of classics and a bunch of great dancing."
While we're stoked to find out just which Beatles classics will appear in the episode, we're definitely intrigued by Blake's hint about teenage problems. Obviously, the storyline with Ryder and his Catfish was a major plot point at the end of last season. Learning that the person he thought was a girl named Katie was actually fellow glee club member Unique (Alex Newell) sent Ryder into an emotional tailspin. In fact, the football player was so upset, he up and quit the New Directions then and there!
One thing we do know for sure: Blake is not off Glee for good. The Season 4 newbie was promoted to a series regular for this season. We have a feeling that Ryder won't stay away from the New Directions for long.

Much like the Dixie Chicks, Ryan Appleby wasn't ready to make nice Saturday night.
But the juicy subplot featuring Appleby and Aaron Brooks, which turned into the main story line by evening's end, obscured a more grim ending for the Huskies — with the 93-85 loss to the Ducks, Washington is assured of finishing either seventh or eighth in the Pac-10.
And that means the already long road Washington faced to win the Pac-10 tournament, its only hope left to get into the NCAAs, added a few more miles.
Finishing in the bottom four means the Huskies will have to play on the first day of the Pac-10 tournament (Wednesday, March 7) and will have to win four games to take the tournament. Teams in the bottom four have to play an opening round to advance to the quarterfinal field of eight.

Most Read Stories
Finishing in the top six requires teams to play only three games to win the tournament.
The only question now is whether the Huskies will finish seventh or eighth — right now, UW is tied with California, which hosts Arizona and Arizona State this week.
It's not a completely irrelevant query.
Finish seventh, and UW would likely face Arizona State in the first round. Finish eighth, and UW would probably have to play Oregon State.
More interesting, maybe, is how UW's finish sets up what would happen past the opening round. If UW finishes seventh, its second-round game would come against the second seed, likely setting up a third game this season with Washington State (if not the Cougars, then probably another game with USC).
Finish eighth, and the Huskies would have to play the top seed, most likely UCLA though there is still a chance WSU could end up there.
Anything short of winning four games at the Pac-10 tournament, however, means the Huskies will have to settle for the 32-team field National Invitation Tournament.
It invited 40 for a few years but recently pared the field.
The NIT no longer requires a winning record, but has yet to invite a team with a losing record.
UW, however, can't finish worse than 16-15, including the Pac-10 tournament, a record similar to other recent Pac-10 teams to get an invite. Stanford went a year ago at 15-13 and Arizona State was invited in 2002 at 14-14.
The NIT is now required to invite every regular-season conference champ that doesn't make it to the NCAAs, which means at-large spots aren't quite as plentiful as before.
But as a high-profile team from a major conference, the Huskies would seem a lock, likely in position to host one or two games.
The carrot in the NIT is winning three games and advancing to New York where the semifinals and finals are held at Madison Square Garden.
First, though, the Huskies finish the regular season with home games this week against USC and UCLA, the two teams who began UW's losing conference ways in December when Washington lost to each in Los Angeles.
The Huskies, at least, showed they haven't completely thrown in the towel with a gutty performance at Oregon, sparked by the emotion of Appleby, whose refusal to shake hands with Aaron Brooks — who had leveled him with a forearm at the Pac-10 tournament a year ago — gave the game an electric feel from start to finish.
"I think the Oregon State game, we didn't come out fighting," Appleby said. "Tonight, we came out fighting. We just have to keep fighting and fighting and fighting."

Search Engine Optimization is all about choosing the most appropriate targeted keyword or key phrases related to your website or business and ensuring that your site ranks high in search engines. When a internet user searches for specific phrases, it returns your site on at least the 1st page of the search results. It involves fine tuning the on page content of your site along with the HTML and Meta tags and it also involves correct link building processes.
The most popular of the search engines are Google, Yahoo, MSN Search. Search engines keep their methods and ranking algorithms secret, to get credit for finding the most valuable search-results and to deter spam pages from clogging those results. A search engine may use hundreds of factors while ranking the listings where the factors themselves and the weight each carries may change continually. Algorithms can differ so widely that a webpage that ranks #1 in a particular search engine could rank #200 in another search engine. New sites need not be "submitted" to search engines to be listed. A simple link from a well established website, especially one that is related to the topic of your website, will get the search engines to visit the new site and begin to spider its contents. It can take a few days to even weeks before your website will be indexed, so you will need to be patient. One of the biggest factors to remember when it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is finding what your visitors are looking for. Don't make a website and then go looking for your clients, find your clients and then create your website around what they are searching for. This is where keyword research is very important. If you are unable to research and choose keywords and work on your own search engine ranking, you may want to hire someone to work with you on these issues, as its very time consuming and you need to do it correctly, otherwise it will just be a waste of your time.
Search engine marketing and promotion companies will look at the plan for your site and make recommendations to increase your search engine ranking and website traffic. If you wish, they will also provide ongoing consultation and reporting to monitor your website and make recommendations for editing and improvements to keep your site traffic flow and your search engine ranking high. Normally your search engine optimization experts work with your web designer to build an integrated a plan right away so that all aspects of design are considered at the same time. At the end of the say, Search Engine Optimization will save your business loads of cash on advertising fees and send you an endless supply of business. Please remember that this is a long term plan of action and will take some time before you start reaping the benefits.
Because "Time is Money", if you want to see your website get more exposure fast and improve your search engine ranking, we will be happy to offer you an affordable Search Engine Optimization service.

Deputy United Kingdom prime minister Nick Clegg apparently believes that games like Grand Theft Auto V can have a "corrosive effect" on player behavior. Speaking on his LBC Radio show today he cited unknown research to malign video games and the people that play them.
"Clearly these games can have an incredibly powerful, and I suspect in some cases corrosive effect, on someone's behavior, someone's outlook; they get shut off, they don't talk to other people, they just stay in their living room, their bedroom hunkered down in front of their computer." Clegg said. "They occupy a hermetically sealed world of their own and that can have a very detrimental effect."
While Clegg does not specifically mention the Washington Navy Yard shooting, his comments are likely inspired by it and by the highly successful release of Grand Theft Auto V around the world. He is also referring to people "hunkered down" in front of their PS3s and Xbox 360s because the game is not yet available for the PC…
"In a free country, what do you do? Do you start saying to people you can't use it for more than X number of hours? No you can't do that," Clegg said. "There are, of course, restrictions around content. But we cannot limit people's use of , certainly not the amount of time they devote to this by law or by edict."
Clegg went on to say that parents bear a "heavy responsibility" in making sure that their children spend time playing games that are age-appropriate games and that they should ration how much time is spent playing those video games.
You can hear all of Clegg's remarks here.

Moe v. Meier on Teacher Unions
2 Comments | Print | NO PDF | Share
Last week, at AEI, I hosted a lively panel to discuss Stanford University political scientist Terry Moe's new book, Special Interest: Teachers Unions and America's Public Schools. In addition to Moe, the panel featured TFA director of research Heather Harding and Central Park East impresario (and Ed Week blogger) Deborah Meier. You can watch the 90-minute conversation here. Speaking to a full house, the three powerfully elucidated and clarified some of the fault lines in the heated debates about teacher unions.
To me, it looked like two key fault lines ran through the discussion. One was the notion of "reform unionism" and professional voice. The second was how to judge whether schools or teachers were doing well. Moe, for reasons I'll explain in a moment, thinks "reform unionism" is a pipe dream and that the only effective way to drive school improvement is by getting the system incentives to emphasize performance–which requires measures of student learning. Meier argued that collaboration has repeatedly proven successful, in locales such as New York's district four, and that it has been management and policymakers who have squelched it. She rejected the notion that test scores measure learning in a useful fashion, and noted that Moe's critiques of teacher evaluation or tenure all rest on the notion that test scores can usefully measure teacher performance. Harding praised Moe's efforts to talk about union incentives and behavior, accepted the notion that test scores are useful measures of learning, and suggested we can all "put our heads in our hands over the state of [teacher] contracts." But she also confessed to a "soft spot" for collaboration, expressed faith that districts and unions could collaborate to drive achievement, and cautioned that reformers eager to reduce the role of unions need to "be careful" about finding ways to "replace important protections" for teachers.
If you haven't seen Moe's 500-page tome, it's worth a careful look. The result of a decade's worth of scholarship, it assembles a wealth of data on teacher attitudes, collective bargaining, union influence on school board elections, NEA and AFT political activity, and so on. Yesterday, Moe sketched the book's argument, saying, "Teacher unions are the most powerful force in American education…from the bottom up and the top down." He said that fully understanding this dynamic is essential to making sense of why education policy "has been such a disappointment for a quarter century," because schools are organized like they are largely due to the pressures exerted by teacher unions.
Perhaps Moe's most intriguing assertion is that both union leaders and would-be reformers routinely mischaracterize union sentiment: union leaders when they say they're seeking to protect students and would-be reformers when they charge that callous union bosses are ignoring the wishes of their membership. Rather, Moe argued, "Members expect union leaders to protect their jobs [and perks]…and union leaders need to do these things if they are to stay union leaders." He said, "Leaders are going to protect union member job interests come hell or high water, even if these lead them to do things that are bad for kids or for schools." This isn't because union leaders are foisting an agenda on teachers, but because they are responding to teachers' common, fundamental concerns. He noted that none of this means that union members or union leaders are bad and that, as individuals, they likely want what's best for kids. But, he argued, the logic of unionization trumps those individual concerns. While he sees great value in "teachers having voice," the "dilemma" is that when teachers organize to make their voice heard, it becomes "about job interests and not just voice anymore."
Moe offered a bleak prognosis for "reform unionism," deeming it wishful thinking. He said that those who put their faith in such reforms are "expecting cats to bark," and argued that the logic of any collaboration is that union partners will try to "minimize departures from the norm." He also argued that Republican efforts to curtail union power in the states are unlikely to make much headway. In the longer term, Moe sees two trends that will reduce union influence. One is the "ferment" in the Democratic party, with reformers like the Democrats for Education Reform "put[ting] unions on the defensive." The second is technological change. Echoing a point that he and John Chubb argued in Liberating Learning, Moe said that technology will reduce the need for labor, that online learning will lead to teachers being more geographically dispersed, and that new tools will lead to a proliferation of new school options–all of which will cost unions members, dues, and influence.
Meier argued that Moe credited teacher unions with far too much influence. She argued that schools have always been infused by rules that stifle sensible practice, and that that these rules were historically imposed by management. She observed that in St. Louis, in 1950, a married woman could not teach and that, in Chicago, she could not have taught if she looked pregnant. She argued that unions have tried to address "the shameful history of how teachers were treated." She argued that doctors are not regarded as a "special interest" but are listened to when they speak with professional consensus, and asked why the unions are treated any differently. Indeed, she said that "healthy civilizations respect seniority and age," and argued that policies which advantage veteran teachers are defensible on those grounds.
She said she's perplexed by efforts to cut teacher benefits. She said, "I'm a retired teacher, collecting two-thirds of my teaching salary [in a pension]. I run into people with 3.2 million dollar bonuses. To begrudge me my two-thirds of salary, that's shameful. It's what the middle class was supposed to be." She also challenged Moe's notion that others pay more attention than the union to the needs of the students. "Who puts the interests of the children first?" she asked. She said it's not the nation, which "ranks at the bottom on child welfare." She asked, "When we decided not to tax the rich the way they should have been, was that because they were thinking about American children?" And, she asked, what are we producing high schools graduates for, anyway? "There are no jobs," she said. "Companies move locations, pick up a factory here and move over there without thinking about the children."
There was plenty more, with Harding frequently occupying the ground between these two forceful voices. Ultimately, I think two clear patches of common ground emerged. One was agreement that schools have indeed been larded with destructive rules by pols and management. Moe happily conceded the point, noting that schools occupy the bottom rung of "a democratic hierarchy," reminding the audience why he has long advocated for choice-based reform. He agreed with Meier that management has long been inept and unproductive, but argued that this has been due to incentives–and that he thinks that's entirely consistent with his assertion that teacher unions are having the biggest and most destructive impact on schools today. Second, there was clear agreement about the value of teacher professionalism and voice, with Harding flagging the promise of new organizations intended to give teachers a voice in policy. The question was really about how that voice can and should be channeled.
Anyway, a lot was said, and space and time limit what I've been able to touch upon. If you're curious, pop over here and check it out for yourself.

Comment on this article
I like Deborah's entitlement claim on her pension: "I run into people with 3.2 million dollar bonuses. To begrudge me my two-thirds of salary, that's shameful." I'm sorry, but I run into plenty of people on fixed incomes and no bonuses who have to cough up tax increases of 4 and 5 percent for teachers in schools that don't educate kids — and to them Deborah's pension would look pretty shameful. We need to ditch this "tax the rich" canard and start paying teachers what they are worth — and what we can afford.
I don't get the thinking behind the notion that pensions are some kind of frivolous luxury item. Do we figure that instead, teachers and other public servants should work till they drop from old age — and then what would they live on?
What is the vision of the pension opponents for a society full of impoverished seniors?
As for Terry Moe, he was last seen hyping the failed miracle fad of 10 years ago, Edison Schools. Shouldn't he be a little humbled and more reticent about making confident pronouncements about public policy? And for those promoting him, what ever happened to "fool me twice, shame on me"?

Thursday, June 12, 5:30pm-8:00pm
at Spalding Egan Leadership Center the Louisville community will rise in support of the nearly 300 missing Nigerian girls who were kidnapped from their school dormitory on April 28, 2014. This screening will shine the spotlight on the transformative power of girls' education. The event will begin with a rally at 5:30pm in front of the Spalding Egan Leadership Center (901 South 4th Street), followed by a screening and discussion of the film. The event is free and open to the public. To register, visit http://bit.ly/1hrKHMP.
In light of the recent highly publicized events in Nigeria, this event will bring the community together to raise global visibility about the importance of educating girls. The goal is to share the story of the nearly 300 missing Nigerian girls, to invest in them, and to stand with them by taking action locally.
"Mercy Beyond Borders at Mercy Academy and Louisville Girls Leadership have come together because we believe in the impact that education can have on not only girls, but the entire world," said Louisville Girls Leadership co-chair Savannah Molyneaux.

By raising awareness in Louisville and other cities, we are also raising girls up and giving them a chance for a better future through the power of education. We are proud to be part of this movement in the fight for global equality."
Girl Rising was directed by Academy Awardnominee Richard E. Robbins and is narrated by Cate Blanchett, Priyanka Chopra, Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, Chloë Moretz, Liam Neeson, Freida Pinto, Meryl Streep, and Kerry Washington.

CBO released a new study today on regional variation in health care costs. As previous CBO documents have emphasized (and I walk around with a chart about it!), health care spending varies substantially across the nation.
This geographic variation matters mainly as an indicator of the efficiency of the health sector: Large differences across the country in spending for the care of similar patients suggest a health care system that is not as efficient as it could be, particularly since the higher spending does not appear to produce commensurately better care or improved health outcomes.
CBO's study finds that:
Throughout this year, CBO is undertaking an expanded effort to examine options for modifying the health care system in the United States, which will ultimately result in two significant published volumes. The discussion of those options will include their potential impact on geographic variation.
The study was written by David Auerbach and Chapin White of our Health and Human Resources Division.
David Auerbach has been with the CBO since receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2002. His other work has focused mainly on issues related to health insurance coverage, including work developing a simulation model for analysis of proposals affecting the number of uninsured (described in a CBO background paper released in 2007). He has also worked extensively on topics such as Medicaid coverage, the individual health insurance market, and the effects of competition and tax incentives on health insurance premiums. He has masters degrees in technology and policy from MIT and in chemistry from UC Berkeley and received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from MIT. He is also an expert and co-author of an upcoming book on the nursing workforce.
Chapin White joined CBO in 2004 and is currently a Principal Analyst in the Health and Human Resources Division. His work focuses on health care financing, health insurance markets, medical malpractice, and nonprofit hospitals. His CBO publications include The Impact of Medicares Payment Rates on the Volume of Services Provided by Skilled Nursing Facilities, Nonprofit Hospitals and the Provision of Community Benefits, and Medical Malpractice Tort Limits and Health Care Spending. His publications include articles in Health Affairs, Inquiry, Health Services Research, and the Health Care Financing Review. He received his A.B. in social anthropology from Harvard College, M.P.P. from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and Ph.D. in health policy from Harvard University.
