Noctowl has always been the black sheep... err bird, of the Normal / Flying family. Its stats are completely backwards, and while cool and unique, they don't help it accomplish much. Looking at them, you'd think Noctowl could work as an effective special wall, but with weaknesses to three extremely common attacking types in UU, including an awful wing-clipping weakness to Stealth Rock, a lack of any form of offense, and a low physical defense, Noctowl's goose is effectively cooked. There may still be hope left for Noctowl, as it is one of the single best Grass-type counters available thanks to its special bulk and immunity to sleep moves; however, this niche still is not enough to save it from obscurity. Owls may be wise, but in this case, the most battle-hardened of players are wise enough to steer clear from using Noctowl.
Due to its excellent special bulk, Noctowl can become an effective special tank. The idea when using Noctowl is to switch it into a special attack and work from there. Whirlwind is for phazing, and works wonders with entry hazards. It can also help Noctowl scout out the opponent's physical attackers and stop a setup attempt. Roost grants Noctowl reliable recovery, and removes its nasty weaknesses to Ice-, Electric-, and Rock-type attacks. Unfortunately, Noctowl is normally too slow to take advantage of this, and when Roosting, Noctowl is exposed to Fighting- and Ground-type attacks. Because Noctowl's offensive stats are rather poor, Night Shade is used to obtain steady damage. The last slot is up to the player's discretion: Noctowl can use Toxic decently while phazing to rack up even more residual damage, Reflect cushions Noctowl's poor Defense and can help out the rest of the team, and Psycho Shift throws back status attacks so that Noctowl isn't crippled by them.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Hypnosis can be used in place of Toxic, but its accuracy is unappealing. FeatherDance can provide the same buffer against physical attacks as Reflect, except it doesn't provide support for the whole team. Light Clay can be used alongside Reflect to give Noctowl's sweeper teammates an easier time setting up. Flame Orb and Psycho Shift allow Noctowl to utilize a makeshift Will-O-Wisp, but it's not a great idea since the time it takes to set up is too much and Noctowl just doesn't have the Speed to make it happen.
On the offensive side, Air Slash, Psychic, Shadow Ball, and Heat Wave are available alongside the use of Agility, but since Noctowl's attacking stats are so poor, Night Shade will prove to be more useful overall. Noctowl has the bulk to set up Rain Dance or Sunny Day; however, it again lacks the Speed and versatility to do so effectively. Noctowl can make use of Substitute to become a Toxic SubRooster, but with the lack of Pressure to stall out Stone Edge's PP or the Speed to use Substitute before an attack, Noctowl is better off doing something else.
Checks and Counters
You don't have to be Ozymandias to take down this Nite Owl. Although setting up on Noctowl is difficult due to Whirlwind, Taunt renders Noctowl almost completely helpless. Furthermore, any physical attack not named Shadow Claw or Earthquake breaks right through Noctowl's low Defense stat. Rhyperior and Aggron beat Noctowl easily with their STAB Rock-type attacks, and so will any offensive Pokemon with STAB Thunderbolt or Ice Beam. All in all, don't try to set up on Noctowl, aim for its weaker Defense stat, and it will usually be forced to wave the white flag.

Jonny Quest is one of the longest running Saturday morning cartoon shows of all time, alongside such mainstays as Scooby-Doo and Fat Albert. Unlike Scoob and Al, however, only a mere 26 episodes were produced of the original Jonny Quest.
The show was an adventure series about pre-teen Jonny Quest, who, along with mystical Indian friend Hadji, pet dog Bandit, Jonny's super-scientist father Dr. Benton Quest, and government intelligence agent/bodyguard/pilot Race Bannon, investigated strange goings-on all over the world. Episodes of Jonny Quest blended mystery, adventure, action, intrigue, scientific marvels, and humor as the group traveled everywhere from the Sargasso Sea to equatorial Africa.
Jonny Quest originally ran in primetime on ABC during the 1964-65 season, but much like Hanna-Barbera predecessor The Jetsons, the program didn't find success until it moved to Saturday morning. When it hit, it hit big. Jonny Quest ran on CBS from 1967-1970, then back to ABC through 1972. In 1978, the program became part of The Godzilla Power Hour, and in 1979, Jonny Quest moved to NBC, where it stayed until 1981. All that milage on twenty-six original episodes- pretty impressive.
Hanna-Barbera rebooted the character in 1986 in The New Jonny Quest, a segment on The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. This lasted thirteen episodes.
In 1996, the Turner Company released an updated, all-new series entitled Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures. This new series featured an additional character in Jessie Bannon, the daughter of Race, and made extensive use of computer animation.

Why choose Paper over Plastic Shopping Bags? Here are two benefits to using Logo Paper Bags:
*Paper is recyclable: Paper shopping bags that make their way to the recycling center are reused for things like egg cartons, bandages, animal bedding, seedling pots, dust masks, coffee filters, paper office supplies, globes and even paper currency. Plus, for every ton of paper that's recycled, 17 trees are saved.
*It's cleaner to manufacture and recycle paper than plastic.
*Many already contain paper that's been recycled so you can feel good about your advertising investment.
If you think paper bags are boring, think again. Our selection includes dozens of designs, shapes and multiple colors as well as traditional brown kraft paper bags, which are always timeless and stylish. Our Imprinted Logo Paper Bags are made from high-quality paper that accepts the transfer of ink without fading or bleeding, so your business or organization's logo shows up clearly and lasts as long as your shopping bags do.
Our Logo Imprinted Paper Shopping Bags are available in styles with our without handles (and yes, the handles can be recycled, too!). Many can even be printed using multiple colors or double-sided for double the advertising impact and visibility. Branding your business, organization or event should always start with a fabulous shopping bag!

MAC Women's Swimmer of the Week
Briana Emig, Eastern Michigan
Senior, Sewickly, Pa. (Ambridge)
Senior freestyle swimmer Briana Emig helped Eastern Michigan to a season opening victory Saturday, Oct. 27, in a Mid-American Conference dual-meet. Emig led the Eagles with four first-place finishes. She took the 1,000-freestyle in 10:22.15, the 200-freestyle in 1:51.04, the 500-freestyle in 4:58.78 and was a member of the 400-freestyle relay who won in 3:30.78.

The 2012 all-MAC first team selection helped set the tone early as the anchor leg of the 400 medley relay (3:21.13). With a freestyle split of 44.18, Baryshok and his teammates broke a three-year-old Missouri State pool record by more than a second.
Baryshok then won the 200 free (1:38.90) and moved up to No. 23 in the national rankings. He remains the only MAC swimmer to record a time under 1:40 and is less than a second off his first NCAA 'B' cut for the season.
To cap off the Homecoming event, Baryshok swam a season best in the 100 free with a time of 45.15. He owns the fastest 100 time in the conference and is ranked 28th in the nation in the event.

Peter Kafka at AllThingsD has a report today on what sort of March Madness coverage fans will be able to get streamed to their iPhones and iPads, in which he says that not all of the coverage will be free to view this year, with some of it being behind a paywall. According to Kafka, in order to watch some of the college basketball tournaments games on a mobile device, as well as on your PC or Mac, youll have to pay a one-off $3.99 fee, which will enable you to watch the whole tournament. This will give you complete access, as well as interactive features. Any games broadcast by CBS will be available to view for free at the CBS website, but only on your PC or Mac, not on your iOS device. The games will be split between Turner and CBS, with Turner having a total of 41 games, so either way you wont have to pay for all of them. Click here to find out all about how to watch all the games live on your devices: March Madness 2012 - NCAA.com
Kafka adds that the move towards a paywall for some of the games represents what AllThingsD has perceived as a shift in approach from the big media companies away from free Web video and more towards pay-TV.

1110 N. Old World Third Street, Milwaukee, WI | Directions 5320343.044621 -87.914205
Daily 9am-6pm
Neighborhoods: Kilbourn Town
LIES, CHEATS, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! – Quick summary: Pontoon rentals for 4hrs and 20 ppl boarding. One pontoon holds 11 ppl max, so we got 2. Made first payment to book for 2 pontoons for the time and day. Second payment was for the additional hours we wanted. Third payment was paid on the day we went, but worker did not give good reason as to why. He just said that second payment didn't go thru.
*Worker #1 I spoke to that day of, but Worker #2 was the one I spoke to previous and made reservations with.
1) First decided to go on the 2 hr rental only, but changed the hours to the 4 hr rental.
2) Our reservations was from 6-10 and they wanted us to arrive 45 mins prior to 6 to fill out paper work. But, got there at 5 and they told us that our reservations was at 7 and only one pontoon was available at the time. So arrived early and waited for 2hrs.
3) Worker #2 lied telling me that the second payment I made by card was denied. So I had to pay an additional amount. (We weren't supposed to pay bc worker #1 said he'll let us have both pontoons for the prize we paid, and take it as a discounted prize since they messed up on our reservations)
4) I asked worker #2 if they had any type of confirmation over the phone or by person and worker said no, but when I asked for proof of receipts he was able to print them out for me. By the way, he was able to print all three separate payments. (Shouldn't they have printed and mailed the receipts in the first place? That was all he needed to give me for proof that I did pay otherwise none of this would have happened!)
5) Not satisfied at all as to what happened!
Romantic Setting – A very romantic setting. Heading out into the bay as the evening sky turns it's summer colors of red and gold.
The colorful city lights are aglow from afar lighting up the skyline and the two of you are seated in in a cozy cabin atmosfere. The dinner was delicious. Steak and shrimp, baked potatoe, very tender and juicy. The Captain of the boat, waiters and waitress's and the cooks work very hard to make this a very pleasant experience.
Beware! Edelweiss not Accredited by Better Business – Edelweiss (aka Milwaukee River Cruise) is not accredited by the Business Bureau and received a rating of "F" because they do not address consumer complaints. I personally experienced this when I prepaid for a cruise, and when I was unable to make it to the cruise on time due to my son's illness, Edelweiss would not consider adjusting my account. In fact, they inferred that it was my fault for not making it to the cruise on time.
truly unique dining experience – I recently went on the Thursday Night dinner cruise with my husband, and it was an amazing date experience! For only $50 we were provided with not only impeccable service but with a great meal and complimentary wine. The atmosphere is outstanding - the views are what made this night so special. Can't wait to go back!
Good place to hang out with friends!!! – My friends and I have been on the Edelweiss a few times, and always have a great time!!! We are not big fans of the water street crowded bar scene, and have found this to be a great alternative. You can ride the boat for 20-25 dollars, and that usually includes some sort of drink special. i.e. the margarita cruises... all the margaritas you can drink, or the late night party cruises... which include all the miller lite you can drink!! It's not too crowded and the late night cruise even has a dj!
it's a great place to drink cheap, dance and have a great time with friends, all while enjoying the amazing milwaukee skyline from the water!!!
Most romantic setting in Milwaukee – I attended the Taste of the World Dinner Cruise and enjoyed it thoroughly. I went on a 2hr and 15 minute cruise for $75 and recieved a 5 course dinner and unvelievable views of Milwaukee's Downtown and Lakefront. I am from Chicago and The Edelweiss is far more interesting than what I have experienced in Chicago. Well worth it, and My date agreed.
An elegant three-course meal accompanies panoramic vistas during this upscale two-hour excursion into Lake Michigan. – In Short
Sip a cocktail as you cruise along the Milwaukee River through the historic heart of downtown. Then, savor fresh salmon with dill sauce or filet mignon au jus. Indoor and outdoor observation decks provide phenomenal views of the city skyline. The crowd is heavily mixed--with old, young and everyone in between. Cruises are regularly scheduled from spring through fall; inquire about special trips for fireworks viewing and Oktoberfest.

Santos sempre santos
The Greatest Soccer Player In The World (According To Pelé) Turns 21 Today
Brazil's Neymar celebrates a milestone birthday
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior — better known simply as Neymar — celebrates his 21st birthday today.
Known for his outlandish hairstyles, dynamic skill (that rainbow flick!), slippery dribbling and OMFG finishing ability, the young striker has grown from teenage phenomenon to the undisputed face of Brazilian soccer over the past decade.
And as the nation's first superstar to turn down the megariches of the European leagues to work his craft back home, Neymar has become a symbol of national pride for a country readying to host the next World Cup in 2014.
Oh, and no less a footballing luminary than Pelé has proclaimed he's better than Lionel Messi, who is 25.
"There's always this Maradona comparison, saying that he's better than Pelé," third-personed Pelé last April. "Now some are saying that Messi is better than Pelé. Well, he has to be better than Neymar first, which he isn't yet. He has more experience."
Ronaldinho, himself a two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, echoed the sentiment earlier this week to the Daily Mail.
"Messi for the last three or four years has been the best player in the world — he has been at a level of consistency I don't think the world has seen before," the 32-year-old Brazilian said. "Neymar is young, though, and I can't explain how special he will become. In the next two or three seasons he will become the best player."
You think that's pressure? Check out this cover of a popular Brazilian soccer magazine from October.
The question remains: How good is he?
While the lithe goal-scorer shown incredible promise for Santos in the Brazilian first division — look no further than this divine highlight reel — how much can we glean from performances in an inferior domestic league? Many in fact believe Neymar should move to a European club ahead of the 2014 World Cup to cut his teeth on the sort of well-drilled, top-flight defenses he'll see when Brazil hosts the quadrennial tournament. One such opportunity, however brief, will come on Wednesday when Brazil meet England in a friendly at Wembley Stadium (2:30 p.m. ET, Fox Soccer Channel).
Until then, he will be regarded as talented but untested, regardless of what Pelé says.
Who's better right now? You be the judge.

Rothsay man accused of stealing car in bizarre chaseRothsay, MN (WDAY TV) - It's a bizarre story that stretches from Wilkin to Otter Tail Counties.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
It's a bizarre story that stretches from Wilkin to Otter Tail Counties. A Rothsay man is accused of stealing a woman's car, running over the woman as she tried to stop him, and then crashing the car.
It started about 6:30 Wednesday night in Rothsay. Wilkin County authorities say Joseph Schleeter stole a car from Ole and Lena's pizza and when the woman tried to stop him, he ran over her arm. She was taken to the hospital.
They say Schleeter drove into Ottertail where he crashed the car on I-94 near the County 24 bridge. Authorities say he needed to be retrained to keep him from running into traffic. He was taken to the hospital in Detroit Lakes.

Utrip aims to make vacation planning a breeze, and they have built the content and technology to deliver. What they needed help with was creating a user experience that simplified the process and still captured the excitement of travel.
We worked with Utrip.com to design a simple and elegant process which gathers your personal interests and gives you an itinerary that you'll love. But, it doesn't stop there. You can refine your itinerary and share your trip with others as well.
The complexity of navigating personal interests across time and locations creates a challenging interaction design problem to solve for and the response to our approach has been amazingly well received.

Stacy Pearsall, a former Air Force combat photographer, disabled veteran and SHSS Board Member, was selected by the White House as a Women Veterans Champion of Change.
The White House recognizes Americans who are making positive change in their communities. On March 19th, the White House, along with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, will host the Women Veterans Champions of Change event in Washington, D.C. where Pearsall will be awarded for her work with veterans. In conjunction with the White House award ceremony, Pearsall's story will be featured on the White House website.
"I never would've imagined that I'd be nominated and selected for such a prestigious honor as this, and to be among so many extraordinary women veterans too," says Stacy Pearsall. "I can only strive to continue in my efforts to help other veterans, and endeavor to live up to such an award."
Pearsall earned the Bronze Star Medal and Commendation with Valor for heroic actions under fire. She now plays a pivotal roll in changing and implementing new policy regarding veteran's healthcare at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center. She dedicates countless hours to speaking with women combat veterans one-on-one nationwide to help them seek and receive the care they need and deserve through various VA programs and non-profit organizations.
Along with her involvement with disabled veteran outreach and recovery care coordination, she is a spokeswoman/advocate for the Veterans Affairs, Defense Centers of Excellence and the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program. She is a member of the American Legion and a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign War and Disabled American Veterans organizations through which she gathers donated clothes and shower items for homeless veterans, and makes frequent in-patient visits to hospital-bound veterans. She is also a board member of the Foundation for Arts & Healing at Harvard University and Wounded Nature Working Veterans, both of which are non-profit organizations who aid disabled combat veterans from every branch of service.
"I don't operate alone," adds Pearsall. "It really takes a village, and I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with some of the most caring, giving men and women through the many organizations I volunteer for. This award is as much theirs as it is mine."
November 2012:
Washington D.C. Trip
On November 28th, several SHSS students among others, went to Washington D.C. to meet with the nation's top Congressional leaders.

Congrats to Citadel cadet Nick Slater!
Nick has been chosen to represent The Citadel and the United States for the 2011 Winter Fellowship to Saudi Arabia!
Nick was chosen as a fellow by the National Council on United States-Arab relations in collaboration with the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission to the U.S. and the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Higher Education. Nick was chosen from a large pool of applicants from across the country and is one of only ten students total from ten separate universities that have been selected for this fellowship. The fellowship consists of a 12 day study visit over the winter holidays to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where students will gain direct personal experience of Saudi Arabian culture, society, and economics, as well as government priorities, concerns, and needs. Students will come away with a more deeply informed knowledge of Saudi Arabia's strategic goals and requirements as they pertain to Saudi-United States relations and the Kingdom's role in regional and world affairs. We are very proud of Nick and wish him the best of luck in his travels!

"It's kinda high," Baggett warned Amberson.
They played it that night anyway.
"Shoes for My Pillow" is one of 11 songs on Amberson-Baggett Band's debut album "That's Gonna Leave A Mark," which was released in 2012. The song was inspired by a night when, after being blindsided by divorce, Baggett slept in his car with only his shoes for a pillow.
"That was all I had," Baggett explained, adding that he lost everything earlier that day after his car had been broken into while parked on Jacksonville Square.
Years earlier, in 2009, Baggett met Amberson while the two were employed at the chemical agent incinerator at the Anniston Army Depot. Together with Baggett's sons, Luke, who plays bass guitar, and Chris, who plays drums, they formed The Amberson-Baggett Band in 2011.
Just two years later, the band received international attention, spotlighted in the April 2013 issue of the French magazine Bands of Dixie.
"That was pretty cool," Baggett said. "These guys know Southern rock. They live and breathe it."
Devon Allman of The Allman Brothers Band was featured on the cover.
"[The magazine has] interviewed the ones who have shaped music over the years … It's an honor to be included," Amberson said. "And the review itself was flattering. The sharpest critique was the production quality. It was absolutely accurate." He added the album was produced in Baggett's home studio.
Amberson and Baggett joke that the album is "the greatest hits of a band that never happened," with a sound similar to that of The Atlanta Rhythm Section and The Allman Brothers Band.
"The songs feel authentic because that's what I cut my teeth on," Baggett said. "Even though I've been off the radar all this long, I still feel like I'm rooted in the time period."
Amberson agrees Baggett brings an old-school feel to the group.
"To me they've always sounded like they should've been released in the '70s," Amberson said of the songs on the band's debut album. "People say the songs sound familiar. I think it's because they are authentic songs. It seems like that lost album from somebody."
Although their album is only a year old, both Amberson and Baggett have deep musical roots. Baggett can trace his musical ancestry back at least five generations. Amberson's father was a high school band director, and his parents were involved in their church's music ministry.
"When I was approximately 4 or 5 years old, I sang my first solo at church. From that point on, I've been singing my whole life," Amberson said. He had the opportunity to go to JSU on a music scholarship but turned it down "because I didn't want to learn about dead musicians."
Baggett was also interested in music at a young age.
"When I was a kid, I decided this was what I was gonna do, and that was it," he said.
Currently, the band is working on their second album, which they say has more of a blues feel. Some of the songs can be found on YouTube. All four members have contributed to the songwriting, usually independently of one another.
"The ideas keep coming," Baggett said.
For Baggett, songwriting has been an ongoing process.
"These songs have been playing in my head for 40 years," he said. "There are songs that nobody's heard but me."
"Shoes for My Pillow" was one of them.
The spotlight in Bands of Dixie gave Anderson and Baggett a taste of Europeans' love of Southern-rock culture. While the band says they would like to tour Europe in the future, for now they are happy playing locally. Baggett said there is fierce competition for gigs in the area — 30 or 40 bands competing for a spot at five or six venues. He hopes Sunday alcohol sales will help increase the demand for local music.
"Alabama has a great music heritage, but not much of a musical future," Baggett said.
Amberson agreed, saying "we've got to cultivate it."
The Amberson-Baggett Band will play at the Crimson Tiger in Anniston on May 31 at 8 p.m., and June 8 at the Little Mountain Resort in Guntersville. And audiences can expect energy, they say.
"I think people can tell how much fun we're having when we're playing," Amberson said. "Once I get good and sweaty, it's on. I'll be throwing out the bad dance moves."

A suffragan see of the Archdiocese of Granada in Spain. It is said to have been founded by Indaletius, a disciple of St. James the Greater, at Urci (Vergium). After a long eclipse, its episcopal honour was restored to this little seaport by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1489, on the occasion of the conquest of Granada. In the meantime it had acquired the Arabic name of Almeria (mirror). In 1900 its population, all Catholic, was 230,000. There were 110 parish-priests, 32 vicars, 28 canons and prebendaries, 122 churches, 50 chapels, 3 Dominican convents, and 4 houses of female religious.

Comments On Mar 20, 2014:I like that you get eight different spoke wrench sizes in one set. (Now I just need seven more motorcycles!) The tool body is only about 4" long and made of aluminum. It should be durable enough unless you have a rusted or corroded spoke nipple to break free. The actual business ends are chrome plated steel. The machining of these wrenches is not perfect, but reasonable for the price point and completely functional. As with all Tusk products I have bought, I feel like I am getting good value.

Comments On Mar 11, 2014:Like another reviewer pointed out, it fit my other wheels decently. Got a new KTM and the largest one doesn't fit. Was looking for an individual head but it doesn't appear they sell them.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 01, 2014:worked well. Only have used it once so durability hasn't been tested yet but it will be in my tool box every weekend.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 06, 2014:I have only used this tool on my son's KX65. Need to use it on other bikes to really tell. Seemed tight on the spoke nipples of the KX65. It does work, just not as nicely as I would like.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 07, 2013:I bought this to do the spokes for 4 different bikes. Even the largest adaptor does not fit my KTM XC-W 450 spokes. The adaptors do work for the other 3 bikes, but barely. None of the adaptors have a real positive fit. All are a little sloppy. I think the dimension tolerances are overall on the loose side.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 11, 2013:No frills, but does the job!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 21, 2013:Very useful tool. With changeable tips, allows me to use with my stock wheels and race wheels since each has different nipple sizes.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 01, 2013:Does the job. Modified one attachment with a hack saw to fit excel spokes. Used for complete breakdown, lace up and truing. A torque wrench is overkill in my opinion.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 29, 2013:Good spoke wrench, has most every size end you could possibly need.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 22, 2013:It tightens the spokes and contains a ton of different sizes. It doesn't feel like the best tool I'll ever buy but it was cheap and it works.
