DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Who would have thought that, on Valentine's Day, romance would dominate any talk about racing at Daytona International Speedway?
But any discussion about NASCAR's next-generation car (the Gen-6) or its next-generation champion (Brad Keselowski) took a back seat to the sizzling topic du jour: the on- and off-track relationship between Sprint Cup drivers Danica Patrick, 30, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., 25, who appear poised to engage in one of the most interesting Rookie of the Year competitions since Matt Kenseth beat out Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the honor in 2000.
Patrick and Stenhouse have become NASCAR's royal couple, and Daytona was abuzz with their whirlwind romance.
They openly discussed their relationship in separate interviews during Media Day for the Feb. 24 Daytona 500, fielding questions about the genesis of their romance (it blossomed from a fast friendship), whether they intended to share a motorcoach at the track (they don't), and how they would handle racing against each other on the track.
"That's obviously a big question in a lot of people's minds, fans' minds,'' Patrick said. "I had a friend say, 'I'm excited to see how you guys race against each other when you're out there.' That's someone [who] isn't even into racing, curious to see how that will go.
"We've been racing against each other as long as we've known each other. So, you know, there are times you're out there on the track and you don't even see each other, you're not even next to each other.
"Every time we have been, it's about respect and neither of us puts up a big fight.''
Stenhouse does not foresee his relationship with Patrick having an impact on his approach to racing against her, or anyone else for that matter.
"I think for everybody to assume it is going to make me race any different is wrong,'' Stenhouse said. "It's not going to. I am respectful to my teammates and I will be respectful to her, but I am respectful to everyone on the racetrack.
"I don't feel like if somebody crashes her I am going to go crash them because of it. I am out there to do my job. I am out there to put on the best performance I can for my sponsors and my team and my fans.
"I can't get caught up in any of that. She has been racing for a long time and can handle that situation and I will handle mine.''
Race fans seemed stunned last month when Patrick acknowledged that she was dating Stenhouse, the 2012 Nationwide Series champion. This came after Patrick announced Nov. 20 that she was ending her seven-year marriage to Paul Hospenthal. She filed for divorce Jan. 3.
But it was evident to the competitors in the garage area that a chemistry existed between Patrick and Stenhouse, who earned a turn behind the wheel of the No. 17 Ford fielded by Roush Fenway Racing.
So what caused their on-track relationship as Nationwide competitors to blossom into an off-track romance?
"I mean, the friendship is the bud, for sure,'' Patrick said. "But beyond that, I think it was like, you know, just talking a little bit more often and then deciding to spend time together, and that goes on from there.''
A native of Olive Branch, Miss., Stenhouse is unabashedly country. Patrick, of Roscoe, Ill., is decidedly rock and roll. He was a Ford driver, she a Chevy driver. Even though they were split on their musical tastes and the manufacturer and make of their racecars, opposites seemed to attract.
But Patrick did have second thoughts about getting romantically involved with a fellow driver.
"Sure,'' she said. "I think, initially, it was a little bit of a mental hurdle of like, 'We compete against each other.' I said it's like the Capulets and Montagues with Chevy and Ford. This just doesn't work.
"But you can't tell your heart who to like or not like. In the end, it ended up being something that I just didn't think was a big deal at all.''
While the subject of her divorce was never brought up, Patrick seemed at ease talking about her new boyfriend.
"I'm not going to go into details about my private life all the time,'' she said. "So I don't think there's anything too serious talked about today. But I'm sure there will come a day where you ask a question that I don't want to answer and I'll tell you I'm not going to answer it.
"I'm just relaxed. I feel happy. I feel like I'm just enjoying my life. It makes me smile to talk about him.''
Said Stenhouse, "Well, we are happy and that is good, right? I feel like what I've learned in my career in racing is that any time you are happy off the racetrack, it tends to show up on the racetrack.
"That is one good thing that we have going. We are both happy, we are focused on racing and having fun.''

Before you winterize ATVs or UTVs consider:
- Location: Decide where you'll store your ATV or UTV- a garage, storage shed, or other location.
- Cost: Determine how much you are willing to spend on ATV or UTV storage.
- Utilization: Think about if you want to ride during the winter season or keep your ATV or UTV stored full-time.
Prepping for winter ATV and UTV storage
- Contact your insurance agent to discuss whether your current policy includes coverage for off-road or recreational vehicle use.
- Make any necessary repairs such as new brakes, tires, or other maintenance.
- Clean your ATV or UTV to help prevent corrosion.
- Change the oil and filter, then run the engine for a short period to circulate the clean oil.
- Clean or replace the air filter.
- Clean, adjust, and lubricate the chain, if needed.
- Clean and lubricate all control cables and pedals.
- Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
- Remove the spark plugs and pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinders, then crank the engine over to coat them.
- Inflate tires to correct air pressure and, if recommended, raise the ATV or UTV so the tires are off the ground.
- Cover the exhaust opening to prevent critters from taking up residence.
- Cover your ATV or UTV with a breathable cloth.
Before you take your ATV or UTV out of storage to hit the trails again, be sure to talk with your local State Farm® insurance agent to make sure you've selected the right coverage for off-road or recreational vehicle insurance.

- BTW: May I please ask why you want those two images deleted? Was it because there is already another version on the site? The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 20:49, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
- That would most likely be the reason. Crimsonnavy. 18:19, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

It is recommended for pages about individual pokemon to have at least one Next/Prev bar. However, I don't think Generation V Pokemon should have it, since we don't know their order. (With the exception of a few) The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 20:31, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
Excellent edits, very helpful. Thanks again! Cheers --Jargon ~ 10:11, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, from how good you are this site you should be the Main Admin or the owner. I learned a lot from you, Well Take Care =D CelestiaStar 17:55, September 23, 2010 (UTC)Hey, I found these pictures and these are the new nurses in Isshu. You probally can use the more then I can since I'm not editing Isshu until it comes out. I'm leaving all that to someone who knows something about Isshu. I don't want to mess anything up. And the only thing I'll edit is the Team Rocket in Isshu. I hear Madame Boss is going to be in it. ^_^ [[User:Evanf|Evanf]]

Why on Earth did you remove all of my edits? Yes, they were not formatted 100% properly and taken from Bulbapedia and some other sites -- but, they were all true info of the characters. To take them off leaves the wiki pages smaller and with less info than they should properly contain. As well as some, like Red, Yellow, Green and Blue, reducing their pages back to normal makes it seem like they only appeared in two arcs or Special/Adventures only had two arcs, when it had a LOT more. (in fact, the Diamond/Pearl arc, Platinum arc, and HeartGold/SoulSilver arc are all going on in Japan right now as we speak) So I would like them to be re-updated with the nessacary info. But, to prevent me from doing more work to have it removed, is there any special way you'd like me to do them differently?

Hey... =_= ;;
Why do you keep editing the Trivia on Iris page? She is "considered" to be the second Black Gym Leader in Pokemon with Aloe being the first. Also when I put she's Black you remove it! So what's up with that? CelestiaStar 20:02, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think they must remove that because they hate that Iris could be Black. But oh well, I can understand with keeping that out, but the Trivia should be allowed to stay don't you think? If someone removes that then put it back in! I did put "CONSIDERED" so it's not like I was saying it was a fact, but the majority of Fan's do believe Iris is Black, Aloe has a similar Trivia, So can you please put that back into Iris's page? I'd really appreciate it. CelestiaStar 20:14, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, Thank You for letting that stay in Iris' Trivia. Although I don't see how listing Iris as "a Black girl" is racist in any way,shape, or form. I don't know who whould think that, but you know I just think it's important to put those things down. Pokemon showing diversity is not a bad thing, and you should know I'm serious about helping and not just some stranger that comes and edit a few sentences on character pages to my liking. I've created many of the Isshu Gym Leader pages, and all of the Isshu Elite Four pages and you've helped me a lot. Nonetheless, I appreciate you letting that stay in Iris' Trivia, and if someone removes it just put it back, like you would if someone removed any valuble information on this site. CelestiaStar 20:35, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ken Sugimori Artwork?
I know this a bit of a random question but you're the only person on here that I know is reliable. ^^;;
Do you know when we can expect the official Pokemon and Gym Leaders from Black and White artwork from Ken Sugimori to be released? I thought that would follow after the games released but I still can't find any official artwork from Ken? CelestiaStar 19:17, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Re:Ken Sugimori Artwork
Okay, I'll check the main website daily I suppose. I really hope it's not to long from now... CelestiaStar 19:39, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
Crimsonnavy, it's me, Spencer1, im on another computer. I found some useful information.
Desukan's english name is "Deathkhan"
Tabunne appers to have the same role of Chansey: The Doctor's Pokemon
& The unevolved Pokemon are Manambou, Emonga, Buffalon (which Aloe might have), Barurao, Tabunne, & of course, the legendaries . . . except for Zorua.
Oops... ^^;;
Sorry, I had un-did your revision on Iris page I didn't know it was you, but I see you just added a link to the African Dashiki's from a Wikipedia page. Though I think the first link images had a better Dashiki's that resembles Iris's. CelestiaStar 21:57, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
Oh! Okay. ^^ CelestiaStar 22:05, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
Do you know how to make Templates? Can you make a Template for Characters Pokemon. I did and it did not work that is why I edited Jessie's Koromori. Can you make it? Please Respond. ^_^ Evanf
Thanks for the advice. ^_^ Evanf
Thanks for the advice. ^_^ Evanf
More Kenneth Sugimori art is found on a PokeJungle comment in "Focus on: Psychic". Go add it on Pokemon pages when you find them.
I noticed you blanked a couple of image pages without copyright status. Rather than blanking them, you should have marked them as Fairuse by adding the Fairuse template to the Licensing section. Note this applies to all images copyrighted by Nintendo, other images might be licensed otherwise. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 03:24, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
- LOL, thats what Template suggest is for. :P The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 03:34, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
Aloe new art!
Hi, Remember I was waiting for some artwork from Ken to appear on the main site? Well they didn't update it with new Gym Leader art work, but! They gave Aloe a new drawing. I find that interesting, what should we do? Should it replace the original like it does on the main site?

Hey. Have you heard of wikia badges? They are a great way to get credit for edits and they are pretty fun! I'm not quite sure how to add them, but I'm sure it would be perfect for this wiki. --MrArceus

Hi Spencer: I KNEW IT!, Aloe was'nt fat. Oh, and one last thing . . . STOP UNAMERICANIZING THE ISSHU POKEMON'S NAMES WHEN I EDIT THEM, OR ELSE, I'LL BLOCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi Crimson,
Just wanted to let you know that i made forums for The Pokemon wiki. link= : http://Pokemonwiki.proboards.com

Sure. I'll be more careful when adding categories. --MrArceus 12:11, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
Just letting you know, it's been awhile. But I did go ahead and add Aloe's new artwork to her page. ^-^ CelestiaStar 22:45, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

User of the month and other stuff
Hello! I have a idea. I think this wiki should have a user of the month! Maybe a template should be displayed on the main page that says: User of the month: Name Reason: ????. Please know I'm just saying you don't have to. Also, how many edits do you need to be a admin? --MrArceus 00:00, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
Oh... do you think my edits are quality? I really don't mind if you say no. Are they great,medium,or terrible? --MrArceus 00:13, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
Ok! --MrArceus 00:21, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Franky bob has been working his butt off to make templates, so I think we should create a list of all the userboxes he is creating. A userbox is something you put on your profile that will describe you. See my user page for an example. Anyway, can I create the page: Pokemon Wiki:Userboxes ? It's just gonna be for a list of userboxes. --MrArceus 22:02, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Our focus is to have many users come together to make editing a lot faster. We each have jobs. And we are starting something called Project Anime. We will try to include every episode and have no red links. We could really use a admin. Are you in? --MrArceus 23:09, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I'm gonna create it now... --— Mr. Arceus 22:04, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
It has been created! Please check it out at: PokePlaza --— Mr. Arceus 22:38, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
Please reply to the message above. --— Mr. Arceus 22:38, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
Cool. I don't think I'll do it actually. I like this place =) --— Mr. Arceus 22:41, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
Hi! Today I ask you a weird question... can I be a admin? It's ok if you say no. I just thought because MarioGalaxy2433g5 and he only has like 900 edits I could be a admin. --— Mr. Arceus 01:11, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
Your Avatar thing
This is random I know, but what the heck is your avatar? The Latias Fan 10:31, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
wait... sometimes it's this weird guy and other times it's Dialga???? The Latias Fan 10:32, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
How did you become a admin then? You said asking Charitwo would take me off the "admin list"! Is he the only option? --— Mr. Arceus 20:22, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
Do you think I should ask? Because I'm afraid if he says no because you said "He'll take you off the admin list". I don't want to risk losing the small chance I have to become a admin. Should I ask? --— Mr. Arceus 20:33, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
Alright. I'll ask. And do you think Evanf should join PokePower? Sure he's got many edits but he has not edited in a while... --— Mr. Arceus 21:02, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
Ok. I chickened out. I saw him reply to Evanf saying "No. Asking is generally a bad idea as well". --— Mr. Arceus 21:04, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
What is PokePower? And can I join? ^_^ Evanf
Thanks! I will work with you! And none of the stuff you mentioned.
I'll add Evanf as a builder(if it hasn't already been done). — Mr. Arceus 21:27, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
PokePower Meeting
We are having a PokePower meeting on User:PokePower's talk page. Please look at the talk page and post something. — Mr. Arceus 22:08, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
Seriously me and Franky bob are kinda getting mad so please come or you will be counted absent. — Mr. Arceus 22:19, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
Charitwo replied to your message on his talk page. He figured out a way that administrators could create badges! LOOK AT IT lol. — Mr. Arceus 00:18, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
Then why don't YOU look at it??? — Mr. Arceus 00:39, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
Oh lol I'm sorry. Wait what does it say? And do you know why everybody is voting for me on the user of the month poll? Am I doing something they like? — Mr. Arceus 00:43, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
=( So much for the badge. — Mr. Arceus 00:52, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
Could you tell me how? — Mr. Arceus 00:25, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I was about to edit it, then I realized you spelled Arceus wrong. You spelled it Aceus. Could you please give me the link again? — Mr. Arceus 00:31, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you! — Mr. Arceus 00:41, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
Ok. I'll do that right now.I will link if I have time. — Mr. Arceus 00:47, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
Can you set up Trivia on wiki pages? Oh nevermind. I was thinking of the wrong thing.
Hello! I am a user who has come back from his vacation. I want to say thank you for your hard work. Please keep up with the hard work on Black and White (seriously, give me more info on the games, I have a preorder on them :3)! SapphireKirby777 19:43, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
thanks for telling me Sandstormrocks32 22:03, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
Just letting you know I voted for you as "User Of The Month". =D CelestiaStar 22:23, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
You're Welcome! n_n CelestiaStar 22:27, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
I visited the Sims wiki and I saw the created a badge. Could you please go to the sims wiki and ask a admin how they did it? I'd go but they'd probably rather answer to a administrator. I'm going to go pretty soon so please reply soon. — Mr. Arceus 01:14, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
- If this refers to the badge related to The Sims 3: Late Night, we at The Sims Wiki did not create it. Rather, it was a sponsored premium done as a promotion. In fact, we did not even have badges enabled when this was done, as we had decided not to have them. The only reason we have them at all is that Wikia had to enable them in order to do the promotion, and several of us are looking forward to the day we can have them disabled again. No offense intended, but you asked the wrong person. Dharden (talk) 01:39, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you. I may not be able to edit much. My Mom has cancer. And I'm really sorry but I hope you understand. I may not be able to edit for a few weeks. I'm really sorry for letting you down. I can understand if your mad. --— Mr. Arceus 19:18, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
You're winning for "User of the Month"! =D
CelestiaStar 23:18, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for understanding. It's not just my Mom, but I'm really stuffed in homework and my computer is having problems. I'll try to edit as often as I can. I just wish this could have happened after the user of the month voting, now I'll never have any chance to win. =( — Mr. Arceus 23:54, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
~ ~ * * * Happy Halloween* * * ~ ~
I hope you have a fun one! CelestiaStar 06:59, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
Me too! To all of you! — Mr. Arceus 13:32, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I sure did have a good one! =D CelestiaStar 06:17, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
New wiki
I just created the Pokemon Battle Revolution wiki. Since I've been very busy lately I wanted to know if you wanted to work on it. Oh and I also thought I could create a bunch of wikis and those wikis would be connected to this wiki (Like the other wikis are a sponser of this wiki). And we could take little bits of info from articles about the subject from this wiki. And you could also take from ours. What do you think? I'm going on a long trip very soon so please reply. — Mr. Arceus 13:32, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
Can you help me on a Navbox template on the pokemonbattlerevolution wiki? the Template is Template:Colosseumleaders. Thanks. Evanf
Can you help me on a Navbox template on the pokemonbattlerevolution wiki? the Template is Template:Colosseumleaders. Thanks. Evanf
I will. Evanf
IDK what to name this...
Good. I'll write "This wiki is a sponsor and a part of the Pokemon Wiki". So we're aloud to copy content from this wiki? Oh and if you were wondering the long trip was canceled due to my mother's cancer. — Mr. Arceus 20:18, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
Pokemon Battle Revolution Wiki
I know this sounds like alot, but can you join the PBR Wiki? Mr. Arceus would like to have you. I will tell more, and they should come. Evanf
Good idea. And, could you please help us on the wiki? I'd appreciate it. If you gain 30 edits I'll make you a admin. — Mr. Arceus 20:40, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
OMG SARAH MANLEY GAVE ME A SECRET LINK TO A PAGE THAT TELLS ME HOW TO CREATE BADGES! I CAN NSERT ANY PICTURE AND THEN PUT IN TEXT! Sorry for the caps I'm just really happy. — Mr. Arceus 20:44, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
Friends on the wiki?
Hi, I just made a new character box on my profile and I was wondering if it's okay if I add you under my friends list? You have been so helpful since I've started editing here so I wish we could be friends? Though I suppose I'll understand if you don't want to be friends with me... CelestiaStar 22:26, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Okay! Thanks for being my friend. ^-^ CelestiaStar 23:11, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
Random Page...
Please Delete it and block the person who created the page it's annoying!
Franky bob (Talk!||Team History) 02:08, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I second this, the user has created a spam page to cheat to get badges. Known as the "Randon Page", it should be deleted. CelestiaStar 02:11, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
I notice you keep creating episodes from black and white with article titles like BW????: (Title). I'm getting really confused because many links just link to the episode title. Also I think it would be a lot easier to search the article if it was just the title. Can we just create the title of the episode as the title of the article? It's a lot less complicated to search then "BW:(Episode number):(Episode Title). --— Mr. Arceus 12:05, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
Form NargaKiller
Thank you for the kind welcome! I want to contribute to the wiki me too. NargaKiller 16:37, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
XD Gale of Darkness Protagonist
The protagnist of XD Gale of Darkness aka the Hero isn't listed on the Wiki. One should be Created.
Hey. ^-^;;
Wanted to let you know there is a "Wikia Contributer" here that went around messing up pages. Renaming Aloe's name with "FatMama", so to let you be aware here's their page http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/18.104.22.168 you may not know if they decide to come back again to ruin pages. CelestiaStar 20:27, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll keep an eye out too. Thank You! n_n CelestiaStar 20:39, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
Good and Bad News
I have good news! My mother survived her cancer! But I have bad news too... my Dad was coming home from a buisness trip and he was in a car crash. He's badly injured. Well, that's pretty much it.— Mr. Arceus 20:36, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
I wanted to let you know I'm ranked #9 on the wikia! I can't believe it. I'm no where as good as you but I'll keep doing my best to help edit. ^-^ I was wondering how do you become Adim? Don't know if I'm good enough yet. CelestiaStar 02:39, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Well I might never become Admin. I guess I'll just notify other's when someone create vandalism on a page. ;D CelestiaStar 20:00, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
Hello. It is nice to meet you. I am liking.
Please block CDiFan237 he's been uploading radom images of Girls naked. I undid the pages he put the Pages in. Please Block CDiFan237. Franky bob (Talk!||Team History) 20:31, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you
Thanks for changing the image on Dig those Diglett. Finally someone realises that the image was copied from Bulbapedia by Franky bob. Hopefully the same will be said for the other episodes he recked. I want to put a synopsis in but the cursor won't let me! Hstar 19:54, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
The Wiki Skin
You changed it right? Well, I was wondering why does Pikachu only appear in the background but when the page loads it is covered up by the page? Is it possible to make the pages more "transparent"? CelestiaStar 23:14, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
How do you become an admin to a wiki?
Re: Re:Question
My layout is like the layout to bulbapedia.
hey i have a question i have my own wiki and i was wondering if you know how to do thoose badges on my wiki?
thanks Sandstormrocks32 03:07, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
why do you keep erasing that some pokemon are Ash's pokemon? i have proof. i went to seribi.net so.................................PWNED!! Sandstormrocks32 22:16, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
what do you mean by his "induvisual pokemon" ? but he has thoos pokemon........ or sould i create a page tats titled " Ash's previous pokemon" ? Sandstormrocks32 22:21, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
Iris and Dento?
Hey, I was wondering should we make Iris and Dento their own (anime) page. I noticed other main characters that appear in the games have seprate page such as May_(anime). So do you think this is something we should do for Iris and Dento? CelestiaStar 01:05, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I think Iris's page is geting filled with tons of anime information. Oh just a reminder if you're the the one who create the (anime) page for Iris. Don't forget to seprate the game trivia from the anime trivia, and put "other" trivia on both pages. Other trivia would be the pieces like "The Iris flower is native to Africa, Asia, and North America". ;D CelestiaStar 21:49, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
New wiki
Hey, its me, MrArceus. I've founded a new wiki called Charipedia. It is pretty much this wiki only with the Wikipedia look. Would you like to join me? I'll let you be a administrator. And I will let you be a beta (learn about them on Charipedia). Anyway, now that I have a new account, contact me here. Have a great day! --http://charipedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Charizard_Master 01:49, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
I've created some forums. It's called Pokemon Dojo. Check them out at: Pokemon Dojo. Please create an account! — Mr. Arceus 21:56, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
Could you help me filling up my pokedex? in soul silver or platinum?
I want to ask you a question. Is it true that the "walking with Pokemon" feature is back? If so, how can you activate it? I've been looking at various websites and decided the only way to find out is to ask someone with the game? Help me :( SapphireKirby777 15:36, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
Don't you know that Isshu is actually Unova in English? Evanf
Then why don't you redirect all the Isshus to Unovas. And I can't do that. Or you could get Charitwo to. Evanf

5 Professional Wrestlers Who Use MMA Moves In The Ring
Another MMA fighter is leaving the Octagon in favor of pro wrestlings' squared circle (and a circular cage, too). Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, has signed with TNA Wrestling and Bellator MMA.
We hope Rampage has greater success in his new MMA home than former Strikeforce star King Mo did in his debut, but it's his foray into predetermined matches that intrigues us most. He may not have ever cracked someone over the head with a steel chair during a UFC fight (that's definitely not allowed), but his amateur wrestling and boxing backgrounds will most likely serve as the basis for whatever style/persona he adopts in TNA. His experience with powerbombs should also come in handy.
Elements of MMA have been used in pro wrestling since its inception, given the various submissions, strikes, and, yes, wrestling maneuvers used. Aside from Jackson and Mo, let's take a look at five other wrestlers utilizing mixed martial arts techniques and how it fits into their styles. This is not a complete list by any means so feel free to add your own in the comments section.
The Undertaker
While going walking the top rope then smashing your opponent in the back of the head is an MMA no-no, The Undertaker has a kickboxing and brazilian jiu-jitsu background. To integrate his BJJ training and maybe take some of the heavy lifting (pun intended) out of match-ending sequences, he added the 'Hell's Gate' submission, a crudely executed shin choke/gogoplata, to his arsenal as a finisher.
CM Punk
CM Punk has been kicking it for a long time...literally. Chicago's straight-edged bad boy uses both flying knees and knees in the clinch, as well as a variety of leg and head kicks, all from his muay thai background. We highly doubt he'd be able to pull of the GTS in a cage fight, though.
Samoa Joe
TNA's Samoa Joe, much like CM Punk, will use muay thai-style kicks and knees. He also was a Cal State Junior Judo Champion and has a great rear naked choke finisher. While most wrestlers may not show great technique with MMA disciplines during a match (so as to not actually knock or choke out their opponent, for example), Joe's RNC looks better than most popular wrestlers' submissions, as he usually takes his opponents' back and sinks in hooks with his legs.
Kurt Angle
Olympic gold medalist. Former pro wrestling champion. Recent TNA Hall of Fame inductee. Kurt Angle has been leveraging his freestyle wrestling background in the WWE and TNA for over fifteen years. Aside from various suplexes, Angle's ankle lock submission has been used in various forms by jiu-jitsu, catch wrestling and judo practitioners throughout history. It's true. It's so true.
Honorable mention goes to Jack Swagger, who comes from a less-decorated, but still notable, amateur wrestling background and uses the ankle lock (Patriot Lock) submission to finish.
Brock Lesnar
You didn't think we'd forget Brock, did you? The University of Minnesota wrestling standout and 2000 NCAA heavyweight champ made his money in the WWE before landing in the UFC where he quickly won heavyweight gold utilizing his ridiculous size, speed, and wrestling acumen. Brock's unfortunate bout with diverticulitis, and a knack for getting hit in the face by men with some decent takedown defense, shortened his MMA career. He wound up back in the WWE and added an ugly kimura submission to his wrestling mix, despite never having actually used it when he was fighting in the UFC. Stick to the F5's, big man.

Introduction / HistoryThe Karaite form of Judaism is so strange that Russian Tsars categorized them as non-Jews. So did the Nazis. Thus, they escaped Russia's pogroms and the Nazi holocaust. But Karaites know they are true Jews. They follow only the Tanach, the Jewish Bible, rejecting rabbinic interpretations. They allow each believer to make his/her own interpretation. Unlike most Jewish communities, men and women can exercise authority in their groups. They often prostrate themselves in prayer, which is rare for any Jewish community.
Still, the Karaites have important commonalities with mainstream Judaism. They observe the Sabbath. Karaites practice total separation from Gentiles and from ritual washing. Their prayer books come almost exclusively from Tanach passages.
But just when we think we can pigeonhole the Karaites as Orthodox Jews, they surprise us. They do not wear phylacteries attached to forehead or hand in any form. Karaites understand the Scriptures referring to these in metaphorical terms. So they hide the Word of God in their thoughts and let it guide their actions.
In other respects, Karaites tend to adopt the customs of their host country. Since most of them live in Israel, they are starting to assimilate into mainstream society, according to the internet's Wikipedia.
Prayer Points* Pray that Messianic Jewish believers will see the Karaite community in Israel as God sees them.
* Ask God to raise up Messianic Jews to go as His ambassadors to the Karaites.

Dungeon Plunder ($1.99)
What's it about? Dungeon-crawling role-playing title Dungeon Plunder is has players exploring dungeons and fighting monsters, using a slot-machine mechanic to determine how fights go.
What's cool? Dungeon Plunder is considered a "rogue-like," which means it's a role-playing title in which players fight through randomized areas in search of treasure and monsters to fight. You can choose from three different classes of character that will determine your play style as you move through the game, but Dungeon Plunder sets itself apart with its slot machine mechanic, which is used for combat. You'll have to manage different elements of the slot machine, like what abilities you use when, and you'll be able to strategically re-spin in order to make the best of your attacks. Successfully beating enemies means you can "level up" your characters to make them more effective, and you'll eventually take on more than 90 different varieties of baddies.
Who's it for? Old-school RPG fans, Dungeon Plunder provides a slightly more casual take on the genre.
What's it like? If the slot machine mechanic interests you, try King Cashing 2. You can also get some more rogue-like play from Rogue Ninja.

(Ranger Up) Sometimes a t-shirt catches my eye. And because it did, I'm sharing it here. Don't feel compelled to buy - but I think it's cool. That's all.
We know that the sheep live in denial; that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world. They can accept the fact that fires can happen, which is why they want fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire alarms and fire exits throughout their kidsí schools. But many of them are outraged at the idea of putting an armed police officer in their kid's school. Our children are dozens of times more likely to be killed, and thousands of times more likely to be seriously injured, by school violence than by school fires, but the sheep's only response to the possibility of violence is denial. The idea of someone coming to kill or harm their children is just too hard, so they choose the path of denial.
The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours.
Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn't tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports in camouflage fatigues holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, "Baa."
Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock
tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.- Lt. Col. Grossman

Organizations today are "doing more with less" by constantly finding ways to reduce expenses while increasing productivity. One area of business that is often overlooked is your print environment. Many companies are astonished with the inefficiencies and excessive expenses uncovered by our Managed Print Services (MPS) Analysis.
At Sharp, we offer a consultative approach to MPS. We identify your current printing costs and practices through an in-depth assessment and then implement a customized plan that won't burden you with additional overhead while freeing up your resources to focus on core business initiatives.
Download File
Our MPS Analysts undertake a step-by-step process to meet your unique objectives. One of the first steps is to establish a benchmark of your print environment which is used to measure all future MPS Program enhancements. We also uncover the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your existing fleet. This includes your current cost of supplies, service, parts, outsourced print jobs, carrying costs of under/over utilized devices and man-hours spent on device management. We then recommend various MPS Solutions which can ultimately help reduce your TCO. Most importantly, we continue to review your progress against the benchmark on a regular basis, and scale the program to fit your growing or declining business requirements accordingly.
We assist with the creation of an ideal fleet where all devices are networked, monitored, right-sized and properly placed in order to improve productivity, operational efficiencies and ultimately reduce the overall cost of ownership. Our in-depth assessment allows us to properly evaluate the true cost related to fleet migration and the resources that will be required before, during, and after implementation of a managed print services solution.
We provide you with a "single pane of glass" view of all activities, costs, and actions within your print environment. Our integrated cloud-based application suite has robust reporting tools to help manage assets, capture data, and enable the best actions to be taken based on accurate data for real-time fleet management and ongoing fleet analysis.
Rules-based printing allows your business to better manage its print environment by ensuring all print jobs are routed to the most appropriate, cost-effective device for operational efficiency as well as waste reduction. All print jobs are analyzed and routed based on a set of predetermined rules and conditions. Users receive notifications anytime a less efficient machine is chosen or a document is unnecessarily printed in color. Enhanced monitoring allows for print costs to be charged back to individual departments to promote good printing behavior and support waste reduction and green initiatives.
Dynamic print routing enhances mobility by allowing employees to print securely and to virtually any networked printer directly from their mobile device. Print jobs are released when you are ready to pick them up from a networked MFP following user authentication. This reduces duplication or forgotten documents as well as ensuring sensitive documents are not viewed by others, thus helping to reduce waste and maintain compliance with stringent industry regulations.
Imagine having a single point of contact for your entire print fleet. Wouldn't it be great to eliminate the frustration of juggling multiple contracts, supply invoices and service orders? Our MPS Program can help turn this vision into a reality with a single, predictable monthly invoice from Sharp to simplify billing and administration.
Our cost-per-copy (CPC) plan helps to dramatically reduce printing related costs by only paying for what actually prints. If you decide to replace older devices with newer equipment, the cost of hardware can be incorporated into the CPC rate, with no additional capital expenditure required.
Significant hard and soft dollars savings can be realized in the form of both time and money spent managing a fleet. Converting to a CPC plan from a single vendor can reduce the bottom-line cost to print, but additional savings will be realized by limiting requisitions, PO creation, receivables, and time spent by Accounts Payables on invoices, reconciliation, and managing multiple vendors. Moreover, outsourcing fleet management leads to standardization of devices which limits the time and cost of training.
Our monitoring and management processes make sure you have the parts and supplies you need exactly when you need them to avoid downtime. Gone are the days when stock of parts and supplies are allowed to accumulate, not only taking up valuable space but also representing nonperforming capital.
A truly effective MPS program provides more than automated supplies and service fulfillment. Our adaptable outsourcing solution leverages extensive experience in applying Best Practices and Standards to the corporate IT infrastructure, and applies managed services to the print environment. Reduce your non-standard systems costs by utilizing any or all of our integrated software platform, in-house helpdesk, tech support, nationwide service network, strategic vendor relationships and Just-in-Time delivery efficiencies. Re-direct IT efforts from reactive "printer support" personnel to strategic technology enablers that can focus on initiatives that are mission critical and core to your business.

Recommendations and Questions
Hey, Omnibender. Wow, a lot of things happened while I was gone, huh? Has ShounenSuki taken a permanent break? :/ Anyway, as I've probably already said before, I've been... busier than usual. I'm up to date on recent chapters though.
I was just looking over this page and was satisfied to see how it's grown. A marvelous piece of work. In my overview, I came up with some questions and recommendations:
- For your "Proposed combinations table" and "Three elements" sections, you might want to add an extra column for "Effects" or "Functions" and throw the expected jutsu descriptions in there instead of in the "Reasoning" column. I believe it'll give the readers a better idea of what you mean by the nature (like how you answered questions in the talk page about what you imagine the natures would do), and maybe a few expected effects (Gas could be explosive, Star would be plasma-based, Sky is an energy of some sort, etc.). You might want to check out:
- Gas-Gas Fruit for Gas Release
- Reflector for Mirror Release (not really, but somewhat related)
- Bloody Slicer, Bloody Coat, and Bloody Lance for Blood Release
- If the following two have been decided, I think you should at least mark their spots to let people know that you're really just looking for the other two :P I understand that you were looking for the right term, but yeah.
- Water + Lightning + Yin = Umishiru's idea of malfunction?
- Earth + Lightning + Yin = Welding?
- My latest candidates for missing spots:
- I suggested Water + Lightning + Yang = Something like Fuwa Fuwa no Mi or Ope Ope no Mi (I suggested the second one some while ago). Interestingly, the latter fruit also appears to grant the user a seemingly unrelated electric shock-like ability. Overall, I don't think this nature touches too closely to Space-Time Ninjutsu. A space/force/telekinesis-sort of thing. I honestly this is the strongest connection yet.
- I did suggest Earth + Lightning + Yang = Friction, but I myself am not too sure about what it'd really be, exactly. I did write up a description some while ago, though.
- Questions:
- Glass Release would sorta control Glass between fluid and solid states to shape it, yes?
- You probably already answered this, but Gas is prohibited from generating certain gases such as Smoke?
- Is there a particular reason why Lightning is needed as energy for Implosion?
- I understand Rust is more related to decay, but does it completely rule out actual rust? Or does it rust metals and decay organic material accordingly?
- I get how petroleum and coal are different substances, but is that really necessary? Perhaps you could emphasize the difference in the "Effects" column :)
Thanks so much, and don't rush on getting back to me. Loving how far you've gotten. --GoDai (talk) 09:52, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, ShounenSuki sort of gave up on the series. An effects/functions might work, though I think that would only be actually necessary in the releases whose effects aren't obvious by the name or the reasoning behind the formation. I've decided on the malfunctioning and welding ideas, but I still haven't found the translations. I've left a topic in ShounenSuki's talk page back when he was still active, but I never heard back from that topic. I'll probably ask Seelentau. I recall I wanted to know something about a specific way of writing welding, and something about terms for malfunction/disruption. I'll have to read up on those One Piece suggestions later, given I don't follow that series. I never gave it much thought about the fluid phase of glass. Maybe the glass could be spit either in the fluid state, hardening and sharpening as it flies, or be spit as a solid and sharp shard already. Smoke is the air plus the solid particles of the burning fuel. I always saw gas as either flammable gases, poisonous gases. For example, putting out a lot of carbon monoxide around the opponent. I was suggested lightning for Implosion by making use of the vibration aspect of it, which would be used to make the target less stable. Rust isn't ruled out. I sort of see it as the decaying agent being rust itself. As such, there would kinda be both rust and the natural decaying in organic matter. In a rather simplified way, I always saw Petroleum and Coal as flammable versions of Water and Earth Release. I can probably think of some neater effects. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:11, November 4, 2012 (UTC)
Aw :/, I hope ShounenSuki returns one day to help us out, at least. Who's gonna create the images?
I think the "effects/functions" column would be a great addition for everyone, especially for those who read too fast and don't realize that Dawn should be solar radiation and that Star should be plasma. Others could take a quick look at what the nature's jutsu would look like. I hope you get to take a read on the pages I linked; I think they help greatly in the ideas department. Here, I tried to organize what you answered for me so far in a favourable form. Feel free to take and edit the following to add to the column ^^
- Dawn Release: Turns chakra into "aurora", or a form of solar radiation, and manipulates it. Can use it to burn, ignite, or cut, and also disorient due to brightness.
- Cloud Release: Turns chakra into clouds and manipulates them. An alternative to steam. Dense enough to physically push things. Can possibly be used to absorb and diffuse lightning.
- Smoke Release: Turns chakra into smoke and manipulates it. Can be used in various ways, such as instant smoke screens and suffocation.
- A more specific detail could help.
- Gas Release: Turns chakra into a highly combustible and poisonous gas and manipulates it, or manipulates pre-existing gases. Other gases are available with more finesse.
- The ability to be manipulated may not be a great idea on my part, since Boil Release couldn't control the harmful cloud of acid. Same goes for many of the following natures; Boil Release simply couldn't brush aside the potential threat to allies.
- Metal Release: Turns chakra into metal and manipulates it, or manipulates pre-existing metal. Can use iron and steel versions of Earth Release techniques. Other metals are available with more skill, including softer metals such as the alkali metals.
- Solid form is favoured for manipulation, and metal becomes difficult to control in liquid form; hence, Mercury is not included.
- Purification Release: Turns chakra into a form of energy that discriminates between targets and manipulates it.
- A similar idea is Fairy Law[1], a spell that covers a huge area with a light that only harms those who the user considers an enemy.
- Power Release: Uses chakra to convert energy.
- A more specific detail could help.
- Star Release: Turns chakra into "star", or plasma, and manipulates it.
- Glass Release: Turns chakra into glass and manipulates it. Somewhat like solid form of Wind Release. Controls either liquid glass or glass shards which mold into glass structures.
- Sky Release: Turns chakra into some form of energy and manipulates it.
- A more specific detail could help.
- Implosion Release: Turns chakra into an unstabilizing, crushing energy and uses it to cause targets to collapse upon themselves.
- Pulse Release: Turns chakra into a propagating energy to utilize attacks such as powerful ripples or shock waves.
- Rust Release: Turns chakra into a form of matter resembling rust and manipulates it. Affects organic targets to cause decay, decomposition, and rotting.
- Dry Release: Turns chakra into a dehydrating energy and manipulates it. Can remove moisture without addition of heat.
- I imagine chakra acting as a towel, the Yin aspect acting to dry by making itself damp.
- Miasma Release: Turns chakra into airborne pathogens (e.g. viruses) and manipulates them. A disease-infested version of Wind Release, which can continue to multiply exponentially to destroy entire armies without the user's effort.
- Mirror Release: Turns chakra into a reflective energy and manipulates it. Has various effects, such as trapping targets in mirrors, reflecting enemy attacks, and confusing with illusions.
- Welding Release: Turns chakra into a bonding energy and manipulates it. Can merge different objects together at the molecular level while freely manipulating their forms.
- (Lightning + Earth + Yang)
- Disruption Release: Turns chakra into a disruptive energy and manipulates it. Destroys systems, causing disorder.
- A new idea I came up with was found in Erwin Schrödinger's book What is life, which stated his idea that life is a system which exports entropy (or imports negentropy, but same thing). Of course, that doesn't mean it disobeys the second law of thermodynamics or anything, since it would just increase the net entropy around itself. I found this interesting because that means we can add the general physical definition that Disruption Release works to increase entropy, although Fire, Wind, and Lightning do sound disorderly as well... but it was a worthy discovery.
- (Lightning + Water + Yang)
- Petroleum Release: Turns chakra into petroleum and manipulates it. Somewhat like a flammable version of Water Release.
- Mercury Release: Turns chakra into liquid mercury and manipulates it. Somewhat like a mercury version of Water Release. Every touch and wound inflicted becomes poisoned, spreading throughout the body.
- I also imagine momentarily shaping mercury into weapons, as well as taking advantage of the vapour it releases.
- Bacteria Release: Turns chakra into bacteria and manipulates them, or manipulates pre-existing bacteria. Bacteria, unlike Miasma, can also be used to convert chemicals to cause beneficial effects.
- Not airborne, unlike Miasma.
- A more specific detail could help.
- Coal Release: Turns chakra into coal and manipulates it. Somewhat like a flammable version of Earth Release.
- Flint Release: Turns chakra into a form of matter that resembles flint and manipulates it. Upon impact, this matter releases sparks which ignite and explode.
- Alcohol Release: Turns chakra into alcohol and manipulates it. Can manipulate ethanol (e.g. A haze that makes targets drunk, which can also be ignited), or other alcohols.
- Scald Release: Turns chakra into a hot liquid and manipulates it. Can be used to burn enemies, or to heal allies with a hot spring-like effect.
- Fluid Release: Turns chakra into a fluidising energy and uses it to turn targets into fluid forms. Targets can be fluidised without the addition of heat.
- Erase Release: Turns chakra into an erasing energy and manipulates it. Can make targets appear to vanish into thin air by overwhelming Yin, which governs form, with Yang. This causes the target's form to collapse, reducing them to raw untraceable energy (?)
- I avoid saying "erases from existence" but I guess that's sorta what it does... It just sounds way too powerful that way ahaha.
- Health Release: Uses chakra to affect metabolism and homeostasis, allowing the user to utilize negative and positive feedback systems to instantly adapt to a particular situation, maintaining a perfectly healthy state. This effect can also be applied to heal allies. Can also be used to negatively affect the health of enemies.
- Soul Release: Involves techniques that affect souls, also powered by the user's soul. Possibly changing the souls of others, etc.
- Since Umishiru's animation idea was not accepted due to this nature's existence, this nature could also turn chakra into artificial souls and imbue objects with them to bring them to life.
- Mind Release: Uses chakra to affect the minds of targets. Similar to the Yamanaka clan's signature techniques, except more versatile and with fewer requirements.
- Flesh Release: Turns chakra into soft tissues, muscles, fats, or organs and manipulates them, or manipulates pre-existing flesh. Somewhat like a living version of Earth Release, possibly similar to Jiraiya's Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind, but as a creation instead of summoning. Could involve complex healing.
- Combined with Shikotsumyaku, this could create and repair whole bodies! ^^
- Blood Release: Turns chakra into blood and manipulates it, or manipulates already-existing blood. Can use blood versions of Water Release techniques. Can utilize it for a variety of effects (e.g. A clone of the enemy can be created from the target's blood, which shares pain via a blood link.). Can possibly also take partial control over summons utilizing blood.
I also noticed that previous posts by other users had lists such as these, and I hope I didn't repeat too much info, and hopefully added new ones. I really look forward to an "Effects" column. ^^ --GoDai (talk) 07:34, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Four-part elemental combinations?
Hey Omnibender, have you ever considered the possibilities of four-part combinations? I am trying to make a list of the possible four-part combinations, and here's my ideas so far:
Water + Earth + Fire + Air = Ether Ether, in ancient Greek culture, is the combination of the four elements (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air). It is meant to be some kind of matter that made up space.
Water + Earth + Fire + Lightning = Concrete Firstly, Water, Earth, and Fire would make some kind of tar, or other sticky substance. Lightning would solidify it, thus making a material such as concrete.
I hope you like my idea. I am currently trying to think up combinations for Water, Earth, Fire, and Yin or Yang. I would greatly appreciate your advice on this matter. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:28, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
No, I haven't. I don't think it's necessary to try making such complex combos. The only reason I even bothered making three element combinations is because the series itself introduced them. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:11, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Arden Grange Dog Food History, Ethos and Practice
Arden Grange Dog Food was founded by Graham and Wendy Stephens who were renowned for their expertise of the dog world. Their expert knowledge of the dietary requirements of dogs and their interest in providing superior pet nutrition led them to found Arden Grange in 1996.
Arden Grange was the first product of its kind to name human-grade fresh chicken as its prime ingredient, making Arden Grange a company committed to optimum nutrition for their dog and cat food.
A range of super-premium dry cat food was launched in 1997, emphasising the belief that casts should enjoy the same high-quality hypoallergenic food as dogs.
Arden Grange prides itself on being an ethical company, committed to the health and welfare of cats and dogs. Arden Grange products carry a 'not tested on animals' guarantee. Before going to market, all Arden Grangerecipes are trialed by pets of Arden Grange staff in their home environment. Products are tested 'by' animals, as opposed to 'on' them, to ensure that the food has both palatable and digestible qualities.
In 2013 the dry cat food recipes were updated to remove cereal and grain providing more gentle nutrition to cats prone to allergies. This product received a really positive response and in October 2014 Arden Grange's 'Adult Cat Food with Fresh Chicken and Potato' was awarded 'Your Cat Magazine Cat Product of the Year'.
In January 2014 Arden Grange also received two 'highly commended awards' from 'Your Dog Magazine'. One of the awards was for Best Dry Dog Food which was awarded to the Arden Grange Adult Range.
Arden Grange aims to constantly refine their dog and cat food recipes to provide the latest innovation in nutrition to dogs and cats. Arden Grange was the first UK company to feature krill in their dog food recipes to explore the possible health benefits of this new ingredient.
Arden Grange is extremely proud to remain true to its roots as an independent, British, family-owned company that strives for 'nutrition without compromise'.
Arden Grange recognises that pet owners want their cat or dog to enjoy ingredients that are of the same high standard that they would choose for themselves so all Arden Grangeproducts are:

R.E.T. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 80 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Personal Excellence, Teamwork, Achievement
We are a plumbing & hvac wholesaler and these are our core values. We are announcing them to our 190 (and growing!) employees on May 18th. We are totally passionate about our employees and how they make this company great. Even our customers state they deal with us because of our outstanding people.
Please read requirements below. Thanks!
Our employees, our future employees.
This is a logo for our company's core values. They listed above in the Brand Name field. We view Personal Excellence as the foundation of our values. Teamwork is next. And when we get those two things working we are certainly going to arrive at Achievement.
Currently we have a tag line for each and i will state them below. Not sure if you want to create a single "logo" to represent all three. Or just state the core value, with it's tag line below, in some funky font and text set up. It's up to you. Thanks
Personal Excellence - "Each of us achieves our full potential."
Teamwork - "Together we are stronger."
Achievement - "As a company we exceed our expectations."
I will attach our more detailed written copy of the core values so you can have an idea of what we've come up with so far. We know we will be lucky if we can get our employees to remember the 3 core values, and perhaps even their tag lines. That's where you come in. The full written copy will only be used to introduce the core values. For future marketing or reminders we will simplify things by only using the logo/text look that you create. Different colours would be good too but please avoid using Red, Yellow, Dark Blue, or Dark Green. (we use these in a different aspect of our company and we don't want anyone associating that aspect with our core values).

Connecting the dots between digital and traditional media
We investigated the role of social media chatter in generating awareness and readership of Vanity Fair's Caitlyn Jenner issue.
Vanity Fair is an influential and iconic magazine published by Condé Nast.
Most media planners crave insight and data about how digital and traditional media can work together. The much talked about issue with Caitlyn Jenner on the cover offered us a perfect opportunity to explore this topic. We wanted to investigate what impact, if any, the social media buzz can have on the readership of the July issue in its traditional printed format.
Over a nine-week period, we surveyed 1,798 adults online who said they had read the July issue of Vanity Fair.
- Four in ten adults who read the magazine first heard about the Jenner cover on social media
- 40% of adults (ages 18+) who read the July issue had not read Vanity Fair in the previous 12 months
- Nearly half (47%) of those readers were aged 18 and 34, indicating that the coveted millennials do read print magazines, contrary to the conventional wisdom
- The big challenge for publishers is generating awareness among these younger readers – and it looks like social media can help with this

Tribute To Black Youth
They sure know how to pick 'em:
For 25 years, Denver chapter of The Links, Inc. has been paying public tribute to the community's outstanding young people by staging the Tribute To Black Youth. The idea for such an event came from member Letitia "Tish" Williams after she attended an awards luncheon put on by Colorado Black Women for Political Action.
"I thought, 'If they can do that for adult women, why can't the Links do that for young people?' " A dancer-choreographer who recently retired from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Williams made her proposal and it was enthusiastically received.
The first Tribute To Black Youth Luncheon was held in 1984; 12 students were honored. Members of the inaugural class were Rhonda Askew, Troy Brooks, Patrice Carroll, Toiya Castleman, Francine Marie Chase, Valerie Clark, Charles Okeke, Karen Peay, Rance Poole, Bethsheba Ross, Sondra Sells and Murray Jean Wallace.
Students are recommended by their school teachers and/or counselors. They must exhibit strong character, academic achievement, a history of school and community service, leadership potential and talent. Special consideration is given to those who are living in difficult circumstances and have overcome the odds to emerge as leaders and achievers.
Distinguished alumni include Denver City Council President Michael Hancock, who was honored in 1985; 2005's Malcolm Glenn, who has just been named president of the Harvard Crimson newspaper; 1986's Gregory Crichlow, now an architect; and 1990's Damon Barry, corporate counsel for CSG Systems and a sports agent specializing in National Football League clients. In 2001, Ebony magazine named him one of 30 Leaders of the Future.
"We embraced her idea," recalled Kathryn Gavin, who has both chaired the event and developed new aspects of it, "and have been able to honor some fantastic, fantabulous young people. Our former honorees have all moved well beyond our benchmarks."
Tribute To Black Youth now includes a series of workshops on issues important to the honorees: enhancing self-esteem, taking college entrance exams, finding financial aid, socialization, economic and political issues, and writing a resume. The honorees also take part in chapter philanthropic efforts, visit community cultural and artistic venues, and attend a reception in their honor.
Speaking at this year's reception was 2003 honoree Sharoia Taylor, a student at the University of Denver and the recipient of a $5,000 scholarship from the Girls, Inc. Alliance.
Twenty-three 8th-through-12th graders were recognized at the 25th anniversary edition of Tribute To Black Youth. The luncheon was held at the Renaissance Denver Hotel and was chaired by Sherry Jackson, Victoria Scott-Haynes and Marsha Johnson. Mistress of ceremonies was 1989 honoree Jennifer Daniel Collins, whose mother, Ida Daniel, is the chapter president.
Heather Barry introduced the Class of 2007: Dorian Adams, an 8th grader at Hamilton Middle School; Adrienne Bauduit, a senior at Boulder High School; Monica Bellaire, a senior at Machebeuf High School; Sidra Bonner, a senior at Kent Denver School; Maya Burchette, a senior at East High School; Tre Burnett; a 10th grader at Columbine High School; Dustin Caldwell, an 11th grader at Machebeuf High School; Joshua Dickerson, a senior at Overland High School; Vanessa Emerson, an 11th grader at Aurora Central High School; Charlotte Epperson, a senior at Montbello High School; Renae Eze, a senior at Columbine; Darin Feagins, a 9th grader at Kent; and Tayler Fleming, a 9th grader at Stanley British Primary School.
Also, Elise Goodgaine, a senior at Legacy High School; Devin Hardin, a 9th grader at Overland; Chinyere Isaac Heslop, a senior at Gateway High School; Rebekah Johnson, a senior at East; Gretchen Schlueter, a senior at Machebeuf; Britney Taylor, a 10th grader at Rangeview; Shaquille Turner, a senior at East; and Terrance Walker, an 11th grader at Cherry Creek High School.
In addition, five adults were recognized.
Vincent Harding, one of the nation's leading authorities on African-American history and the religion and social justice movements, received the Albert C. Yates Education Award. He was the first director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center for Social Change and the founding director of the Institute of the Black World, both in Atlanta. He taught at Spelman College, Temple University, Swarthmore College and Iliff School of Theology, and was senior consultant to the PBS series, "Eyes on the Prize." With his late wife, Rosemarie, he founded the Veterans of Hope Project.
The Fairfax B. Holmes Award went to dancer-choreographer Cleo Parker Robinson; Carlotta LaNier, one of the Little Rock Nine, received the President's Award; Moses Brewer and Coors Brewing Co. received the Silver Appreciation Award, and Tish Williams was given the Founder's Award.

J.J. Abrams has a longstanding tradition of casting unknown ingénues as the female leads of his projects. Following in the hallowed footsteps of Keri Russell ("Felicity"), Jennifer Garner ("Alias"), Evangeline Lilly ("Lost") and Anna Torv ("Fringe"), British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw has landed the female lead of "Undercovers," Abrams' new pilot for NBC.
Mbatha-Raw is a graduate of London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art best known for her breakthrough role as Ophelia opposite Jude Law in the Donmar Warehouse production of "Hamlet," which had successful runs in London's West End and on Broadway last summer. She's also one very lucky, talented and beautiful woman who is pretty much guaranteed mega-TV stardom thanks to the J.J. golden touch.
"Undercovers," which Abrams co-wrote with Josh Reims, is about a husband and wife who are re-activated as CIA agents after years of retirement. Think of it as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" meets "Alias" but with more comedy thrown in. Boris Kodjoe ("Soul Food") has been cast as Mbatha-Raw's other half.
U.S. & World
Just as Abrams prefers to cast impressive unknown female leads, he doesn't get nearly enough credit for having outstanding taste in men. We would like to personally thank him for bringing Scott Speedman, Michael Vartan, Bradley Cooper, Chris Pine, Matthew Fox 2.0, Josh Holloway, Daniel Day-Kim and Chris Hemsworth into our lives and hearts. Bravo, J.J., bravo.
Abrams will direct "Undercovers," marking the first pilot he has helmed since "Lost" in 2004.
We wish we had the ability to make our island skip through time or climb through a red-matter worm hole so we could see the finished product already. Abrams has never failed us (if we ignore that whole "Cloverfield" situation) and we can't wait to see what he'll do next.

In the fall of 2009 I googled for information on Gobekli Tepe. It happens to be one of the oldest monuments/structures of civilization ever found, and news of it really shook the foundations of anthropology. One of the top listings was a great blog about what the Gobekli Tepe site meant in terms of the history of civilization and religion. In the comments section the ideas were flying back and forth and I wanted in to the discussion so I created an account on the site. That site was this site, ThinkAthiest.com! Now, a year and a half later, I'm a very active member.
So, how did YOU come to find ThinkAtheist?
Views: 900
As an atheist i needed a place where I could share my thoughts and feelings with people like me so I started googling .... It wasn't the fisrt one I subscribed to , but after digging a little bi more i found TA and never regreted it !!!
I was addicted to it during the first days ; I still love it so much , it is only that I really don't have enough time to come and check ............. I love you all people , really !
Me too! I was just thinking how great it would be if society had more secular alternatives to recreational/social/educational/outreach role that Churches tend to dominate...something like a library, gym, and town hall configuration... and yesterday I was wished my local atheist group did more volunteerism too.
And flip their cakes.. pancakes that is. LOL
There are more of us than I think anyone realizes.
