The Curious Case of Devin Mesoraco
For example, position player prospects typically follow a rather standard linear development curve. It almost seems as if trend line has its own gravity, pulling any potential outliers back into conformance. Typically, either position prospects conform to the develop trend line or they cease to be prospects. Typically, they gradually progress up the ladder making incremental improvements in their game along the way to perform up to the level of the competition. However, every once in a while, a player completely defies the trend, seemingly coming out of nowhere.
A prime example is Devin Mesoraco, whose 2010 story is truly remarkable. Most, if not all, of the professional pundits were writing Mesoraco off, which isn't all that surprising considering his professional production prior to this year:
2007: .219/.310/.270/.580
2008: .261/.311/.399/.710
2009: .228/.311/.381/.692
Now, he's absolutely crushing the ball to the tune of .316/.387/.603/.989. Mesoraco has unlocked his true potential with the help of good health and the wisdom that comes from struggle and experience. Additionally, he may have finally caught up to the aggressive, fast-track development program that the Reds have placed him on. Right now, Mesoraco is proving that the Reds were right to select him in the first round.
In my 2010 prospect rankings, I had Mesoraco at #16. While his pre-2010 production was never impressive, the peripherals were always relatively strong and gave reason for optimism. Additionally, Mesoraco was always going to need a longer development curve, as he was a cold weather high school prospect who missed time due to Tommy John surgery. He was at a position that required more development time than most and yet brought less experience with him to the professional ranks than normal. In short, even the best case scenario was going to involve a lot of games and at bats in the minors.
In the write-up, I stated that for me the statute of limitations on the opinion of Mesoraco as a potential impact talent was one more year. If he didn't put it together in 2010, he was going to slide off my rankings entirely. Fortunately, he is putting it all together and his 20 homeruns have put to rest my question of whether his swing would enable him to generate significant power. At this point, the power seems to be legit.
It's not a stretch to say that Mesoraco is probably the biggest surprise in all of the minor leagues, as he's gone from afterthought/irrelevant to elite/impact in a matter of mere months. And, he's bucked conventional player development ideas and trends to do it, which makes it all the more satisfying for its unexpectedness.
Additionally, Mesoraco's emergence also highlights an interesting and important organizational trend. Take a look:
2010 - Yasmani Grandal, c
2009 - Mike Leake, rhp
2008 - Yonder Alonso, 1b
2007 - Devin Mesoraco, c
2006 - Drew Stubbs, cf
2005 - Jay Bruce, of
2004 - Homer Bailey, rhp
What's missing from this list?
Looking back all the way to 2004, it's rather difficult to consider any of the Reds' first round draft picks a mistake. There's simply no bust on the list. Sure, you can quibble about the massive opportunity cost that came along with the Drew Stubbs selection, but it seems unlikely that any of the these picks are going to flame out and be a huge bust. Mesoraco was the question mark, but as his performance continues over a larger and larger sample size, it's getting more and more difficult to forecast significant regression. Neither Yonder nor Grandal have proven enough to consider them locks, but they are polished college prospects who have much shorter development curves than other prospects, which makes them much lower risk.
All in all, it's been a very strong 7 years for the Reds, who are entitled to take a bow for their strong work. The first round is obviously the best opportunity to land impact talent, but the flame out rate is also higher than might be expected. For the Reds to land a likely impact talent in 7 straight drafts is a pretty extraordinary achievement, especially for a team that previously struggled so mightily in the draft, to say the least:
2003 - Ryan Wagner, rhp
2002 - Chris Gruler, rhp
2001 - Jeremy Sowers, lhp
2000 - David Espinosa, inf
1999 - Ty Howington, lhp
1998 - Austin Kearns, of
1997 - Brandon Larson, inf
1996 - John Oliver, of
1995 - --none--
1994 - C.J. Nitkowski, lhp
1993 - Pat Watkins, of
1992 - Chad Mottola, of
It has taken an absurdly long time to undue the damage done to the scouting department by the frugal and tightfisted Marge Schott, who famously gutted the scouting budget after stating that she wasn't willing to pay people simply to watch games. She decided that the better option was to plow all the money into the MLB roster, which enabled the team to find short-term success. However, this short-term success was actually accomplished by shifting a massive cost onto the back of future Reds teams. By neglecting the farm system, more resources could be poured into the 25-man roster, but it came at the expense of the future as the flow of cost effective, homegrown talent inevitably dried up.
At this point, the future is clearly bright for both Mesoraco and the Reds, as each has managed to make a complete 180 degree turn from their established performance level to get back on track. Mesoraco has stepped forward to give the Reds another potential impact prospect in their system and could easily be playing his way into the Reds major league plans for 2011.
The emergence of Devin Mesoraco when coupled with the selection of Yasmani Grandal gives the Reds two potential "catchers of the future" where a few short months earlier there had been none. The Reds system continues to get deeper and more productive, which makes the team's strong performance at the MLB this year look more and more sustainable.

What are your thoughts of Dave Sappelt's season? His numbers are ridiculous with Carolina: .356/.404/.943.ReplyDelete
My bad; typo: .356/.404/.539ReplyDelete
Good stuff as always Lark!ReplyDelete
I am proud of the fact that I never gave up on the kid myself and even more proud that I actually have learned over the last few years on RZ how to read such a thing. 5 years ago I would have called the kid a bust by now and would have been calling this season a fluke. So props to those guys over there who helped me understand sabermetrics (at least some of the ones I have found to be the core numbers to look at). Combined with some scouting info I picked up on him here and there it's been easy for me to see coming. Ya never know the human element as you pointed out Lark and that was really the only mystery for me as to whether this kid would break thru or not.
Now to stop patting myself on the back. Devin now has a new challenge. That is refining his defense and offense and understanding that he will have to make adjustments as he gets higher up the ladder. I hope he is allowed to refine his game before he gets rushed up to the next level. AA is the place where you really learn alot of big league nuances at his position, it's the new learning grounds. AAA will be just to test his then newly developed skills.
All that said I think this seasons numbers are a little bit of a mirage. I mean he hasn't been at either level long enough for opponents to make their adjustments to him. So I will take that into consideration when I place him on my top 10 list for next season. I think I will drop his numbers down some in my own estimation if for no other reason to temper my own expectations going forward. I say that because not so sure his talent level is quite this high (offensively speaking of course). I always expected a solid all around offensive game but if he finishes strong his numbers are gonna be astronomical. Translating that forward people are gonna expect a juggernaut to show up to Cincy in a year or year and a half. I could be wrong on that but I don't want to be too quick to judge one way or the other.
As an example I have always seen him as a potential .260-.270 hitter with an OBP% of about .340 and a Slg% of somewhere in the .450-.480 area. That's an All-Star catcher if he has the defensive game to go with it. But right now his slugging is ridiculously high.
Oh and FYI heard it thru the grapevine (RZ) that Alonso + Mesoraco + more was the offer for Cliff Lee, count me as someone ok with the fact it didn't go thru. I have a feeling the Mariners are gonna kick themselves hard down the road for not taking that deal. IMO would have been the 2nd worst trade the Reds have ever made (2nd only to Frank Robinson to the O's and easily displacing O'Neill to the Yankees).
LTR Will
Sorry about the double post guys, it looked like it didn't go thru the 1st time.ReplyDelete
I will reserve my comments on Sappelt until after Lark answers I'll be interested in how he views him. But I'll say this I wouldn't get too terribly excited about him.
Also, what's going on with Cozart? 25 steals, caught stealing a mere 3 times? That's an insane success rate.ReplyDelete
Votto and Will,ReplyDelete
My opinion on Sappelt isn't all that favorable. That said, I'm trying to keep an open mind on him. Unfortunately, I was a bit behind the curve on Chris Heisey, who was a 17th rounder that made gradual improvement as he climbed the ranks. So, I'm willing to be open minded on the possibility.
Currently, he's rocking a slash line of .350/.405/.532 with 14 steals in 27 attempts. He also has 8 triples and 8 homeruns. On the offensive side, I have questions.
The Negatives:
1. His slugging percentage is driven by a lot of triples. Is that sustainable? I'm not sure.
2. His BABIP is unsustainable at .392.
3. Despite his speed, his SB success rate is hovering near 50%, which to me is indicative of a player who is really raw.
4. Size. He's only 5-9, so I'm not sure I see much room for much physical projection.
The Positives:
1. His raw athleticism. He has some of the best speed in the system.
2. His outfield defense is the best in the system. His Runs/150 in centerfield are as follows: +37 in 2008, +55 in 2009 with Sarasota, and +24 in 2009 with Dayton. Those numbers are truly ridiculous.
3. The line drive rate is solid at 20% in 2010.
Additionally, I'm really not a fan of his swing mechanics. He's a rotational style hitter. Instead of stepping towards the pitcher, firing the hips, and keeping the front shoulder in on the pitch, he uses a lot of upper body rotation to pull the bat through the hitting zone. His swing involves his front shoulder flying open and his plant foot stepping in the bucket. I'm not sure how he effectively covers the outside corner of the plate with such an approach. Also, I wonder how he generates significant power with such a swing, as it doesn't seem to incorporate the lower body all that effectively.
Still, when you play plus defense at a premier defensive position, you have a solid foundation of value. On that foundation, you can gradually build your offensive value. So, that gives him an edge, but I have significant concerns. I'm not wild about his on-base skills or his power. I'm not sure he gets on-base at a good enough clip to be a table setter and I'm not at all convinced his power translates to the upper levels. He's having a nice season despite still being pretty raw, which is probably a good thing. Even if he is playing over his head, he could offset any expected regression by adding polish to his game. So, it's possible that this level of production is somewhat sustainable, even if it ultimately is made up of a slightly different components.
Ultimately, I'm not as high on him as some, as there are fans out there who are REALLY starting to value him highly, but there are a few interesting aspects to his game. If he maintains that type of defense, he won't have to bring much to the table on offense to carve out a career at the MLB level, but he will need to improve on offense.
Anyway, that's where I'm at on Sappelt.
Thanks to both for the comments!
Cozart, in some respects, is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Sappelt. Cozart is a polished played with good instincts, but lacks athleticism and plus tools.
Still, it's encouraging to see him continue to develop different facets of his offensive game. It'll be interesting to see if the Reds hand the starting shortstop gig to Cozart next year.
Thanks for the comment!
Yeah, Mesoraco is one instance where Reds Nation had a better feel for Mesoraco than a lot of the experts. If Mesoraco hadn't taken a significant step forward this year, then I would have pretty much written him off. That said, even if the total production was poor, the peripheral stats were always strong.
Add in a few other factors, such as the Reds pushing him up the ladder rather aggressively and a lingering injury or two, and he looked like a legitimate prospect even if his total stats did not.
Personally, I don't expect him to perform at this kind of level in the Majors, but I don't think he's a fluke waiting to be found out by minor league pitching, either. His step forward is both substantial and legitimate.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!
If Travis Wood keeps on pitching the way he has been pitching, and the Nationals are conservative with Strasburg and don't pitch him much of the rest of the year, can Wood win the NL ROY?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 8, 2010 at 8:04 PM
IMO I'm afarid not. The ROY will be either OF Jason Hayward or C Buster Posey. Wood nor Leake nor Strasburg stand a chance of taking it.ReplyDelete
Vottofan & JMT,ReplyDelete
Wood is pitching great, but he'll need to get enough innings to get into contention and overcome the lack of hype that came with him.
Heyward's injuries have slowed him down a bit and it's hard to go against Posey right now. He looks damn good.
An impressive class of rookies this year and just the fact that Wood is even in the discussion is a good thing for Reds fans.
- AnonymousAugust 9, 2010 at 12:54 PM
I'm pretty sure that the reds just killed any chance he had at getting the award. He was sent down in a roster move for the newly aquired OF Jim Edmonds who we got from the Brewers for Chris Dickerson.ReplyDelete
On Sappelt: As usual we agree here Lark. I haven't watched any video on him comparing this years Sappelt to Dayton version (the last time I saw him with my own eyes). So he may have made an adjustment I am unaware of which is leading to such a tremendous season. If so please take this into account with my comments as I am basing them off of the Dayton version.ReplyDelete
In a nutshell in order for him to be a starting major leaguer he needs to improve these skillsets. Plate discipline and more importantly selectivity, his contact is pretty good but watching Wily Taveras will tell you that if you swing at pitchers pitches the odds of getting a hit go way down, Orlando Cabrera is similar in this regard. The other thing there is you give away alot of pitches lowering the pitchers count and of course you forfeit alot of potential free passes. You may hit .280 or so but your OBP% will never reach the heights it can and in Sappelts case his best and probably only chance to be a starting major leaguer is ot be a dynamic leadoff man. Good leadoff men don't get on base at less than a .360-.370 clip. Also he needs to really clean up his base stealing %, he has the speed but he has alot to learn there.
The problem here is so few guys Sappelts age (23) get a whole lot better with plate discipline and/or selectivity and he needs to get a whole lot better at it. Not saying it's impossible but just highly unlikely, especially considering the Reds are in essence telling him he is doing everything right with these rapid promotions (now at AAA since 2-3 days ago).
Also have questions about his arm but I have heard that what I seen in Dayton was as a result of an injury, so he may have a much better arm than I am aware of. If that is so then his defense should take him a long way.
Lark if you get a chance take a look at Mesoraco's swing this season and previously, plenty of PA's on youtube. Tell me what you see, a hint look at the hands specifically pre-swing both before and after. Your thoughts on that and anything else you might see as well.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I tend to agree on Sappelt, but his performance this year is eye-opening. And, I'm trying to keep an open mind on players that I might have dismissed out of hand in the past. There are a lot of ways to a be productive offensive player and when you play defense like he does at a premier position, then a flawed offensive game is less detrimental to your value.
As for Mesoraco's swing, that's a good suggestion. I'll take a look at his swing and see if he has made any appreciable changes. I'll let you know what I think.
Thanks for the comment!

As there are several different types of camping you can do either solo or with a group or family there are several types of tents to fit these needs. Tents come in many sizes, styles, shapes, materials, weights, etc, etc and all these different options mesh and weld with different lifestyles. A tent lends an outlet for alternative living while enjoying outdoor activities but how do you know what tent is going to work greatest for you? Easy! You need to simply determine a few factors which we will go over here in this post.
You will want to determine what you will be using the tent for, where you will be using the tent and the general size of tent that will fit your needs. First let's cover the three primary types of tents.
There are three primary types or classifications of tents which are three season, four season and family tents. Determining which of these types of tents is going to work for you is a step in the right direction when buying a tent. more...
When purchasing a new tent for camping there are some key elements that go into selecting the proper size. Choosing the proper size in a tent can greatly impact the amount of fun and comfort you have while camping. As there are several different types of actual camping one can do there are also several different methods of measure that can go into sizing a tent. Here we will go over sizing a new tent based on what you will be using it for, amount of people using the tent and overall length and width.
There are many different styles of tents available and here we will talk briefly about the most popular models; backpacking, cabin and dome style tents.
Backpacking Tents - Backpacking tents are going to be the smallest overall as these tents are meant to be minimal to pack down to a small and lightweight package when not in use. These tents are designed to be very lightweight and in this design they offer a small more cozy sleeping area.
Cabin Tents - Cabin style tents are some of the easiest to get in and out of. Cabin tents offer a more vertical design with nearly vertical walls giving them a great amount of headroom. These are great for use as family tents and in some larger models will even offer room dividers to give some privacy within the tent. Cabin tents are great for those who have trouble getting into and out of dome or backpacking tents.

Dear FreedomWorks member,
As one of our millions of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to vote NO on the Marketplace Fairness Act,S. 743, a bill that would allow states to collect internet sales taxes without regard for state borders.
While this internet sales tax scheme has been branded as helping "marketplace fairness", all it really accomplishes is raising taxes and placing an untenable burden of compliance upon small businesses who sell their products online. Under the interstate agreement being authorized by the "Marketplace Fairness Act", a business selling products online would be required to figure out where their customers live and to charge them sales taxes based upon their residence, not where the business is located. The cost of complying with the thousands of state and local sales tax regulations will be difficult for smaller online businesses to absorb.
Perhaps more importantly, taxing across state border violates the long-held "physical presence standard" that restricts state from taxing sales that do not originate from a physical "nexus" within that state's borders. Allowing states to violate the physical presence standard will literally allow for taxation without representation, as consumers pay taxes to other states without ever getting the benefit of the use of those dollars. Allowing states to tax each others' citizens also removes an important incentive for tax competition between the states.
The only winners in this deal are state governments, which are happy to use the new revenue to increase their spending, and large retail stores, who will be able to absorb any compliance costs while watching their smaller competitors struggle.
I urge you to call your U.S. Senators and ask them to vote NO on the Marketplace Fairness Act, H.R. 743. We will count the vote on this amendment as a KEY VOTE when calculating the FreedomWorks Economic Freedom Scorecard for 2013. The Economic Freedom Scorecard is used to determine eligibility for the FreedomFighter Award, which recognizes Members of Congress with voting records that support economic freedom.
Matt Kibbe,
President and CEO,
If you think Sharon`s story is surprising..., a month-ago mom in law easily made $7546 just sitting there from home and they're classmate's aunt`s neighbour has done this for 5 months and brought in more than $7546 in there spare time from a mac. apply the guide at this address, kep2.ℂom
The legislation requires states to provide free tax processing software to merchants. Last time I checked FREE does impose burdens. In fact online businesses win once again. All tax processing will become entirely automated. Legacy tax burdens of 1992 are now a relic and no longer stand as sound footing for any argument opposing granting States' rights to choose collection of existing sales/use taxes already due.
What many fail to recognize are the millions of less fortunate families, without access to available credit and the Internet, are paying higher taxes at local registers. Higher taxes resulting from states having to increase sales tax rates, income tax rates and various state fees to make up for the billions of sales tax dollars being knowingly and unknowingly evaded by Internet consumers. Higher property taxes are forcing higher rents. Higher rents which unfortunately are forcing very real and scary unfavorable circumstances upon millions of unintended victims. CT families last year lost clothing and mortgage exemptions resulting from the legislature imposing the largest tax increase in CT's history. Companies actually left the state leaving many unemployed.
Continuing to segregate sales tax policy application any further is no longer a solution. Best tax practices always maintain equal application of tax liability which ultimately lowers individual tax burdens. Choosing to saddle less fortunate families with sales tax your organization promotes it's members to continually evade is not a solution nor is it patriotic.
There are no burdens for Internet retailers. The legislation requires states seeking collection authority to provide FREE software to merchants. Personally, my small Internet business is currently enabled to calculate, collect and remit sales tax for any jurisdiction in any state. The amazing realization is it is now easier to process sales tax for any jurisdiction than dealing with shipping to over 40,000 different zip codes.
I am grateful to be enabled by modern technology to efficiently remit my customers' honorable sales tax contributions back to their taxing jurisdictions. I am grateful because those contributions provide jurisdictions the ability to fund vital and necessary police, services and infrastructure. Police, services and infrastructure ensuring my out of state goods arrive on customers' doorsteps efficiently, affordably and safely.
For me, collecting and remitting sales tax already due translates to healthy vibrant communities representing stronger market opportunities for every businesses. I believe this simple and efficient process when understood will be unanimously accepted and embraced by every business owner seeking greater efficiency and profits.
Technology and simplification make it much, much simpler for any business to easily automate and remit sales tax regardless of size. Thanks to amazing modern technologies, that many seem to believe does not exist, my small business with sales far below the proposed small seller exception now enjoys lower costs and greater efficiencies. In other words, thanks to simplification standards and modern technology, I now have more time and profits available to grow my business now that I am no longer burdened with costly legacy 1992 sales tax processing burdens.
I strongly support and urge Congress to immediately pass the Marketplace Fairness Act.

A month's worth of work has been completed, following the release of the 1940 U.S. Census. I thought that I would make a summary of what I was able to find in these Images.
I ended up with:
6 New Sources. That is Census Records in 1940 by Location. Or 6 Counties where I was able to locate and identify people in my file
23 New Citations. That is really 23 Households that I was able to find, just scanning through the census images
92 People in my file, were listed in these Households
2 of the 92 ended up with the Supplementary Question list (see below)
The people per household averaged 4 with a range of 2 to 9.
I documented 719 Facts, many were new, some were additional citations on information already in my file.
One of the 2 "special" people was a Student, which confirmed what I already knew, but the 2nd person, a female, now has a To Do List item. Find that extra Child. I know of 2 children, but the answer to in column 50 was 3
These numbers do not reflect information that was gathered from previous census records that I picked up during this past month.
I should mention that all of the Facts have been documented with, my understanding at least, the correctly formatted Citation. Oh, and it's all in my Ancestry Member Tree that is in Sync with my file on my PC.
Lesson Learned: It was certainly worth the time and effort to Manually Scan through these images and not wait until they become searchable. I was (almost) amazed as to the number of households that were on the SAME Page, on the Census Record.

I just read your forum post. You are a stupid fucker. You go to KTV, touch touch here, touch touch there, then you think maybe this Vietnam KTV girl will be your friend? For FREE?
What kind of cheebye brain are you?
Just because you ask her to go see bird in Sentosa and not touch bird in the KTV, you think she will be your friend without need you to pay her?
This girl is just here to make money from loser like you, so that she can build a fucking house for her family of 23 in Vietnam. Why do you think she got time to make friend with you? FOR FUCKING FREE?
You are not just fucking naive. You are fucking loser to think you can find real friend in a foreign talent working in a KTV.
Just consider yourself lucky there was a girl who need the money enough to go out with a lancheow face like you. If it was a Singapore girl who have higher standard and golden cheebye, you pay her she also won't go out with loser like you.
Eh, Kusotare! I know many Filipino in Paramount Hotel want to go Sentosa with you leh. They can even play guitar and sing with you at the beach! They can even stroke your dolphin! Very cheap! Let me know and I arrange for some new friend for you!
Yours sincerely,

Need your opinion, please..thks for ur time
Dear all
I've known this viet girl from a KTV for 6 months. Always ask her to sit with me as I've enjoyed her company, we've never went to hotel or anything before.
Just last week, I ask her out to Sentosa. Pure intention was to show her around Singapore and shopping. We were clear from the start that there is no hotel or hanky panky. We set off in the morning at Vivo and proceed to Sentosa after lunch. Everything was ok and fun except during the mid afternoon she start talking about ex-customers who bring her out and still give her money. I thought she was just joking...
So before dinner she repeated it again...and I felt a bit like "hm..." Not because I don't have the money. My pure intention was to bring her out for her to enjoy herself...with good lunch+dinner+all the attractions. Easily I spent 300 dollars.
In any case I send her home and while smoking near her house, she repeated her story again. So I asked her straight.."are you expecting me to give you money?" She didn't answer straight but just say that she came Singapore to earn money, by going out with me, she didn't work for full day and really paid quite a bit to come here. I gave her 100 and said good bye. Before leaving, I told her that I'm really disappointed with her, I brought her out as a friend and she considered it working.
I think the main point is that both of us had different expectations. Firstly, I didn't expect I've to pay..and I just wanted her to had fun. For her, it seems more like a sacrifice that she has to make to accompany me out....
Any opinion on this? Is it justifiable for me to be PISS off with her big time...I know I'm a bit naive, maybe we can just leave out that part for the moment.

The unique Grundfos air-cooled top shaft seal solution is recommended for application involving high temperatures from 248 °F to 356 °F. The air-cooled top separates the seal chamber from the pump by an air-cooled chamber, generating an insulating effect similar to that of a thermos. Via the narrow passage between the pump and the air-cooled top, a small quantity of the pumped liquid recirculates by natural circulation. Temperatures above 248 °F normally result in a substantial reduction of seal life dude to poor lubrication of the seal faces. As the temperature in the seal chamber does not exceed 248 °F during operation, a standard Grundfos shaft seal can be used. The Grundfos air cooled-top does not require any external cooling. An automatic air vent is required to vent the pump seal chamber.
- Boiler feed
- Temperature control
- Circulation of transmission oils

Israel is constantly reassured by ostensible well-wishers that if only it would make peace with the moderate Palestinians and Arabs, it would sideline the extremists, peace would immediately break out and heavenly angels would sing in massed chorales. (OK, I made that last bit up).
The only trouble with this utopian thesis is that it does not match the reality we see and hear every day. In fact our moderate neighbours seem indistinguishable from the extremists.
Let's take Egypt's President Morsi for example, who although belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood was, we were assured, a moderate who would reign in the extremists. How does this vision chime with the vicious words about Israel and the Jews that he expressed in 2010?
Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi described Zionists as "bloodsuckers" and descendants of apes and pigs, urged "military resistance" against Israel, and called to sever all ties with the Jewish state, in Arabic interviews that were posted on the Internet in 2010.
The footage was found, translated, reposted and transcribed this week by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute.
In the footage, described by MEMRI as "archival interviews" that were originally posted online in 2010, Morsi declares: "The Zionists have no right to the land of Palestine. There is no place for them on the land of Palestine. What they took before 1947-8 constitutes plunder, and what they are doing now is a continuation of this plundering. By no means do we recognize their Green Line. The land of Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, not to the Zionists."
True, he has since sent a couple of friendlier letters to President Peres since he came into power, but has he ever recanted those vile words? I find this very discomfiting to put it mildly.
Meanwhile the "moderate" Fatah has held a 48th birthday rally in Gaza, presenting a unified front with Hamas. I would love someone to explain how a "moderate" party uniting and celebrating with a terrorist group can still be called "moderate". I would also point out that Fatah is celebrating its 48th birthday, in other words its founding in 1965, although they claim they "only" want to liberate the territories captured by Israel in 1967 – i.e. 45 years ago. So what were they hoping to liberate before 1967? Those same territories that were held by Egypt and Jordan? Or perhaps the actual State of Israel?
And let us look at the inflammatory words that Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) used in his speech to the Gaza rally:
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party staged a massive rally Friday in the Gaza Strip, the first such gathering in the territory since Hamas seized control there in 2007 and a reflection of the warming ties between the two rival factions.
In a speech from his Ramallah headquarters in the West Bank, Abbas declared that "victory is near… We will soon meet in Gaza."
Protesting the "occupation and blockade" imposed by Israel, and the expansion of settlements in Jerusalem, Abbas declared, "Our mission is to unify our efforts to save Jerusalem our capital."
Happily for Israel, the splits between Hamas and Fatah are still greater than their unity,
Addressing the gathering by video link from Ramallah in the West Bank, Mahmoud Abbas, the Fatah leader and president of the Palestinian Authority, said division had to end: "There is no alternative to unity to achieve our goals."
That message was undermined on the streets by the anger of Fatah supporters, who said Hamas's rule was characterised by human rights abuses, restrictions on free speech, and economic privations, including soaring unemployment and high taxes.
"You look at all these people today and they are smiling – you haven't seen that for the last five years because Hamas has been governing the Gaza Strip," said Khaled Shokoky, 27, a nurse in the European hospital in Gaza. "People have not liked the limits on their freedoms. You are not allowed to talk about Hamas's mistakes. People have been shot in the legs because they criticised Hamas."
Despite the feeling on the streets, a Hamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, said that the event could bring about reconciliation. "The success of the rally is a success for Fatah, and for Hamas too. The positive atmosphere is a step on the way to regain national unity," he said.
But Abdel Kadir al-Afifi, 59, a veteran Fatah activist, believed the chances of reconciliation were slim. "Hamas wants everything," he said. "They don't want to share leadership or work with others. They want to be the alternative to the PLO, not become part of it."
But I don't take this as a sign that either side is moderating in their hatred for Israel. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.
Mahmoud Abbas has also broken another condition of the Oslo Accords and has officially changed the name of the Palestinian Authority to the "State of Palestine" – as if that is going to make any practical difference:
The Palestinian Authority officially changed its name to the State of Palestine, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas officially signed his first decrees that bear the name of the State of Palestine on Friday, according to WAFA, in an apparent move to reflect the recent upgrade of the Palestinians' status to non-member observer state at the United Nations General Assembly.
Unfortunately for Abbas – and for Israel – his attempts at unity and his diplomatic game-playing is not extreme enough for many members of Fatah:
But Abbas's diplomacy seems uninspiring even to the most moderate of voices within the Palestinian leadership.
In an op-ed published Thursday in Al-Quds, the daily of choice for the Palestinian elite, former information minister Nabil Amr bemoaned the political stagnation in the West Bank and criticized the leadership in the face of accelerated Israeli settlement activity.
Amr's apprehension, however, pales in comparison to the harsh resolve in a statement issued on Friday by the Joint Media Center of Fatah's Armed Movements, which has remained active even as Abbas has publicly called for peaceful diplomacy.
If Abbas publicly argues that the use of weapons against Israel during the Second Intifada has backfired, his movement's military activists insist they will remain "the liberators of all the nation's land; not dropping our weapons before liberation and independence."
"The Zionist entity is a hostile one," the communique reads, "and we will fight [it] until it is removed from Palestine."
In raising its weapons, Fatah's armed wing may find a brother in arms in its Islamist rival Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip.
In an example of from just yesterday of "violent struggle", 200 Palestinians attacked the Esh Kodesh vineyards, injuring 12 residents
Some 200 Palestinians attacked the vineyards of the West Bank Esh Kodesh outpost on Saturday afternoon, according to the IDF.
Esh Kodesh spokesman Aron Katsof said 12 outpost residents were injured as a result, including one who was treated in the hospital and then released.
The Palestinians came very close to the homes and destroyed vineyards, Katsof said.
The IDF added that Palestinians were able to cut through one of the fences protecting the vineyards. He added that the window of a security vehicle was also broken by the stones.
Hella Mann of Esh Kodesh said that the three-hour event began when a number of people from the outpost went for a walk.
Palestinians observed them and within minutes, it seemed as if hundreds arrived and began to throw stones.
"It was as if they were organized and waiting," Mann said.
She blamed the attack on a military order to allow Palestinians to work a field near the outpost.
"It was not like this before," Mann said, who explained that she felt that military order compromised the security of outpost residents.
Twice last week, Esh Kodesh residents went to the field to physically prevent the Palestinians from working it. In the first incident they held a picnic on the field, and were forcibly removed by the IDF and Border Police. Katsof said that security forces used tear gas and stun grenades against them.
In the second incident women from Esh Kodesh tried to stand in front of the Palestinians, but were removed by security forces.
The IDF reported that last week settlers attacked the nearby Palestinian villages of Kasra and Jalud, breaking windows and lightly injuring one Palestinian. Katsof said that Esh Kodesh residents did not participate in the attacks.
Will the IDF be ordered to remove the Palestinians as quickly as they were ordered to remove the Esh Kodesh residents?
In fact the "moderate" Palestinians have been increasing their attacks against Israelis in recent weeks, as documented by Arutz Sheva in a series of articles about a possible Third Intifada, including several rock-throwing attacks and riots.
In response to this ominous threat the IDF has been stepping up its arrests of Hamas members and anti-Israel activists in Judea and Samaria:
Israel is stepping up arrests of Hamas members and other anti-Israel activists in the West Bank in order to preempt a possible Palestinian uprising, AFP reported Thursday.
Quoting an unnamed security official, the French agency said Jerusalem was trying to prevent low-intensity flareups from turning into a mass uprising against Israel.
"There is a certain [Palestinian] awakening," the official told AFP. "As a consequence a decision was taken within the security establishment to increase intelligence activity and arrests among members of Hamas or activists against Israel… It started in the past few days and will increase."
Flames of unrest in the West Bank — possibly stoked by the Palestinians' upgraded status at the United Nations, to that of a nonmember observer state, and Israel's recent war against Hamas in Gaza — have surfaced over the past few weeks.
The Shin Bet security service contended in its November monthly report that the increase in violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank was tied to Pillar of Defense, that month's eight-day Israel-Gaza conflict. The security agency counted 122 Palestinian attacks on Israelis in the West Bank, compared with 39 in October — and 44 incidents in Jerusalem, up from 31 the month before.
On Tuesday, a raid by IDF soldiers who disguised themselves as vegetable vendors to seize members of a terror group sparked intense clashes in the northern West Bank. Residents in the town of Tamoun said youths tossed stones and bottles at Israeli troops, while the soldiers responded with rubber bullets.
Military officials said Border Police forces entered the town and arrested Islamic Jihad activist Murad Beni Ouda, as well as another person.
In a separate incident last week, the IDF arrested a Palestinian policeman outside Hebron — finally catching a wanted man it had failed twice previously to arrest.
The first two intifadas ("uprisings"), which started in 1987 and 2000, were characterized by widespread violence, civil disobedience and terror attacks. The second intifada saw an onslaught of suicide bombings that declined as Israel constructed the West Bank security barrier.
Just imagine how much worse our situation would be if our neigbours were not so moderate?!

STS-98, Mission
Control Center
Commander Ken Cockrell, Pilot Mark Polansky, and Mission Specialists Bob Curbeam, Marsha Ivins and Tom Jones, and the Expedition One crew --- Commander Bill Shepherd, Pilot Yuri Gidzenko and Flight Engineer Sergei Krikalev, were allowed to sleep later than planned after having worked late Saturday night to activate Destiny's critical systems. At the time of the Atlantis astronauts' wakeup shortly after 5 a.m. Central time, Destiny's critical thermal control system was operating perfectly, having reduced temperatures inside the new research facility to a comfortable 75 degrees Farenheit.
Working side by side, the eight crewmembers plan to open the hatch between the Station's Unity module and Destiny for the first time at around 8:13 a.m. Central time, and will begin a day-long operation to outfit the newest addition to the expanding outpost. The initial interior lab work will include the activation of air conditioners, fire extinguishers, computers, internal communications systems, electrical outlets, ventilation systems, alarm systems and the installation of a rack designed to purify the air, augmenting the Russian Vozdukh system in the Zvezda living quarters, which removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of the Station's modules.
Other racks used for tool and experiment stowage will also be installed. Because of weight considerations, Destiny was launched with only 5 of its 24 racks installed. Eight empty rack bays are equipped to provide almost 300 cubic feet of stowage. Destiny's first science rack, called the Human Research Facility, will be launched next month when the Expedition Two crew of Yury Usachev, Jim Voss and Susan Helms is ferried to orbit aboard Discovery to replace Shepherd, Gidzenko and Krikalev.
The vital spinup of four large gyroscopes housed on the Z1 external truss structure by Destiny's computers is planned late Monday, following the second spacewalk by Jones and Curbeam. Those so-called Control Moment Gyros will be tested throughout the week to insure that Destiny can assume command and control of critical Station functions and Station orientation in the weeks ahead.
Later today, after Cockrell and Polansky raise the Station's altitude through the firing of Atlantis' jet thrusters, Jones and Curbeam will prepare tools and other gear which will be used in Monday's second spacewalk. That second excursion will involve the attachment of a Station docking adapter temporary parked on the Z1 truss to the forward end of Destiny to establish a new docking port for future Shuttle assembly flights. Jones and Curbeam will also attach a special electronic grapple fixture and video converter unit to the hull of Destiny in preparation for the deployment of the Station's first robotic arm in April.
Atlantis and the International Space Station are currently orbiting at an altitude of 228 statute miles with all systems functioning in excellent shape. Today's Mission Status Briefing will be seen on NASA Television at 3 p.m. Central time. The next mission status report will be issued around 7 p.m., or sooner, if events warrant.

On Sunday night, the Houston Dynamo return to league play when they travel to take on the Seattle Sounders and desperately hope for a victory to spark a playoff run.
"It's a huge game for us, and it's going to be great up there. We know they are going to have good support, and it's going to be a great atmosphere," said defender Andrew Hainault. "However, we are desperate for three points and it would be great. It has been a while since we got a win, and to do it there would be extra special."
Last year, Seattle and Houston put together the start of a fantastic rivalry when they played each other five times. The Sounders got a victory and a tie in the teams' two league matches and dumped the Dynamo out of the U.S. Open Cup semifinals. However, Houston knocked Seattle out of a tightly contested playoff series.
"They don't like us very much after we knocked them out of the playoffs last year," said Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall. "We are desperate for points, so we are going there looking for a win. I think they are in the same boat as us, so it will be a battle."
Hall played extremely well in last year's USOC semifinal against the Sounders, keeping the Dynamo in the game thanks to several terrific saves. The Washington native is looking forward to returning home and starting in a league game as a result of the injury suffered by Pat Onstad.
"We are going up to my neck of the woods, and it will be fun. [I'll] have a lot of family coming out," noted Hall. "I am looking forward to [the match], as it has turned into quite a rivalry."
In addition to Onstad, Houston will be without midfielder Lovel Palmer due to a red card ejection. With Geoff Cameron unlikely to provide a heavy contribution on artificial turf, Houston's central midfield partnership will probably include Brad Davis and Richard Mulrooney. However, the Dynamo are not letting injuries or suspensions bring them down.
"It's a tough game, but we just came out of a July stretch with a lot of games in a row," said Brian Ching. "I think we have more depth now. It shouldn't be too difficult, and guys will be ready and prepared."
Houston will have to be prepared if it wants to stay in the playoff race. The team has not won a game against an MLS opponent since May 22, going 0-4-4 in league play since then.
"We need three points, and we need three points bad," said midfielder Geoff Cameron. "We need to get the job done."

The Central Connecticut softball team remains undefeated in NEC Championship Tournament play topping LIU Brooklyn 5-4 on Friday to head to its first ever NEC Championship game in the history of CCSU softball. Senior Nicole Springer blasted two homers in the one-run win to tie her own CCSU single-season home run record.
Sophomore Laura Messina registered eight strikeouts in the circle for the Blue Devils, gave up nine hits and walked only two batters. Her record improves to 26-9 on the season.
Central got out to an early lead in the bottom of the first when, with two outs, Springer stepped up and sent her first homer of the day to right to put the Blue Devils on the board. The start resembled the start of yesterday's game when sophomore Kat Malcolm launched one past the fence for Central's first run in the bottom of the first.
Freshman Evie Rentzel notched an RBI with a single to left center, plating Barlow who reached base on a walk, to increase the lead to two.
The Blue Devils struck again in the bottom of the second when freshman Brittany Ernst beat out the throw to first on a well-placed bunt. Springer notched her second RBI of the game when she hit a single to right center to plate Ernst, increasing the lead to three.
The Blackbirds battled back in the top of the third, scoring three to tie the game. They threated to take the lead in the top of the fourth, loading the bases with two outs. Messina, however, shut down the threat with her 236th strikeout of the season.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Blue Devils regained the lead when Springer led off with her second blast of the day, tying her own CCSU single-season home run record with 10. Central earned a two-run cushion after freshman Eileen Purcell smacked a double to drive in Rentzel, who had reached on a fielder's choice. Central headed into the sixth with a 5-3 advantage.
In the top of the sixth, the Blackbirds narrowed the lead to one on an RBI single to right field but the Blue Devils held LIU through the top of the seventh to ultimately claim the win.
The Blue Devils were led by Springer, who went three-for-three at the plate with two home runs and three RBI. Purcell went two-for-three with one RBI.
Central will play in the championship game tomorrow, Saturday, May 11, at 2 p.m. The Blue Devils' opponant will be decided by the result of the continuation of the Monmouth vs. LIU game. The conclusion of that game will begin tomorrow at 12 p.m.

I am supposed to be finishing up my Corporations reading (but I cannot bring myself to do it on a Sunday). But I thought to share a few ideas before reading our scriptures and going to bed.
Today was a first for me. Initially I had been asked to stand in for a priesthood ordination and I was happy to do that. Well, the other two people who had been asked to stand in forgot. It felt bad for the man being ordained since this was something that was very important to him. Last minute, I was offered the privilege of conferring the Melchizedek Priesthood and ordained him to the office of an Elder. It was an honour and a privilege. It was the first time for me to have ever ordained somebody to any office in any priesthood. In typing up the priesthood lineage, I almost felt like I had gained a son. From here on out, at least as an Elder, I will be a part of his lineage and that will bind us throughout eternity. Somehow I felt like a part of me went out and into him. I don't know if he feels or recognizes that, but I sure do. Anyhow, I am glad the method for the ordination was clear in my head, and there was one right before for a refresher in verbiage and procedure.
Stake Conference last night and today were powerful. I am impressed by how humble and simple our Stake Presidency is. I have to admit, President Curtis Crane is a man I want to be like. I see in him a type of person I want to be like. I hope there is time. The meetings included our Temple President speaking last night and our Mission President speaking today. Of course the Stake Presidency also spoke. It was good. Something about hearing a large group of people singing together that always impresses me. Powerful.
I know I had commented I would give some thoughts about the scriptures as we have been reading along. Amanda has joined me in the reading and it has been good. We will be starting in Exodus 32 tonight. But the last few nights have held a couple of impressions I thought I would share.
The constant view of God to the people continues to amaze me. The plagues that were taking place in Egypt were surely not unknown to Israel. Furthermore, the fact that they were spared from the plagues would also be obvious. While the magicians were able to reproduce some of the early signs (I cannot imagine they were weak reproductions) the power and magnitude became greater and greater. Each miracle was more recognizable. Finally, Israel finds themselves crossing through the Red Sea and headed towards a promised land.
"And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people." Exodus 13:21-22. I find this thought simply beyond comprehension. Then I wonder if it is so obvious to the people of Israel what is really going on.
The people didn't seem to recognize what power was leading them. "Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness." Id. at 14:11-12.
Then in the next breath, "And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses." Id. at 14:31.
Right afterward, "the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?" Id. at 15:24. "[T]he whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness." Id. at 16:2.
The Lord responds to their pleas. "Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no." Id. at 16:4.
"How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?" Id. at 16:28.
"Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?" Id. at 17:2.
"And the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? Id. at 17:4.
"Is the Lord among us, or not?" Id. at 17:7.
"Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people; for all the earth is mine. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation." Id. at 19:4-6.
"Speak thou (Moses) with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die." Id. at 20:19.
Anyhow, this is only Exodus, but we see this exchange going back and forth between Israel and the Lord (through Moses). When will we ever learn to just be obedient and quit expecting the Lord to coddle us? The next chapter (32) shows where Israel got themselves into quite a bit of trouble for their inability to be constant. I hope I can be more constant. I always remember the verse from 1 Nephi 2:12, "And they did murmur because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them." Hopefully we can all find that relationship with God so that we learn his ways, and his dealings, and we don't end up like murmuring Israel.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of semiconducting hybrid nanoparticles
|(Nanowerk News) Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has the potential to allow single-molecule detection sensitivity. This capability presents new approaches for studying the biophysical and biomedical properties of complex biologically relevant systems in situ. For this purpose, abundant, nontoxic, and biologically compatible materials must be used as SERS active supports.
|The CNM Nanobio Interfaces Group, together with collaborative users from the University of Queensland, Australia, and Northwestern University, report strong enhancement of selected Raman-active modes of biologically active enediol molecules adsorbed on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles ("SERS of Semiconducting Nanoparticles (TiO2 Hybrid Composites)"). A charge transfer complex is necessary for the enhancement. Evidence of a unique electronic mechanism involving molecule-to-titania charge transfer is presented, which results in signicantly larger enhancement factors.
|An enhancement factor of up to 1000 was observed in the solutions containing TiO2 nanoparticles and biomolecules, including the important class of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and dopac. Only selected vibrations are enhanced, indicating molecular specificity due to distinct binding and orientation of the biomolecules coupled to the TiO2 surface. All enhanced modes are associated with the asymmetric vibrations of attached molecules that lower the symmetry of the charge transfer complex.
|The intensity and the energy of selected vibrations are dependent on the size and shape of nanoparticle support. Moreover, localization of the charge in quantized nanoparticles of 2 nm in size, demonstrated via blue shift of particle absorption, diminishes SERS enhancement. Importantly, the smallest concentration of adsorbed molecules shows the largest Raman enhancements suggesting the possibility for high sensitivity of this system in the detection of biomolecules that form charge transfer complexes with metal oxide nanoparticles.

As you leave the house, are you pleased or do you cringe? Many people feel that the work or cost of landscaping is out of their range. However, it just takes a couple of simple steps to make a dramatic difference; we have talked about some helpful items in this article.
One great tip is to first write down every material that you will need. There is no bigger frustration than beginning your project only to discover that you are without a vital tool; all work must then come to a stop until the proper material is found.
If you are installing an outdoor kitchen on your property, you should try to use granite for most of your surfaces. Even though granite tends to be a bit more expensive than marble or other options, it tends to be more durable and easier to maintain.
Prior to digging in to your landscaping or garden project, have the soil tested. Running these tests will make you aware of any quality issues with the soil and changes that need to be made before you put any plants in. Your plants will be healthier and your garden more successful if you take this step.
You can produce an impressive multi-seasonal garden by putting a little extra thought into your plant selections. Select a wide variety of plants, with some blooming in each season, according to the region in which you live. Evergreens and trees with nice foliage help make your yard look lively and interesting all year long.
Now you have and idea of what you can do to make some significant improvements right now. Being able to see a gorgeous yard when you head out to work in the morning can really brighten your day. Coming home after work will be enjoyable, as you pull up to your newly renovated landscape. It's truly worth the time!

Well, I have interpreted that picture is unique, though normally it should be headshots. Energy X 23:39, October 28, 2013 (UTC)
The Template Question
Type Template: Use the normal color's section. In other words, the colors that run in-between all the others, that seem like a medium between the top and bottom colors.
Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."14:39,10/29/2013 4,527
- Its good.
Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."14:56,10/29/2013 4,527
- Uhhh... I was agreeing with you and citing example? . ƒelinoel_ 22:03, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
Voice actor
Not sure what do you want me to do, do you suggest that I edit their article to put the voice actor? Energy X 22:23, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, as they got their space, we should let them figure the voice actors out. Who knows, maybe it would be they'll start using this site as a source for those matters? Energy X 23:03, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
Not very sure about the trivia you just inserted. Yes, the fact is true, but that is purely a coincidence... Energy X 22:36, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Perhaps. Well, it would be good to say "Coincidentally, Machamp looks like Four Arms from Ben 10 anime". You don't know they used Machamp as an idea, so it would be good to write it in this fashion. Energy X 23:03, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
Oh, and when you are "returning" the quotes, could you change the &mdash to - ? It looks much nicer and simpler. Energy X 00:06, November 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Good. It would be good to do a parallel edit - after I edit the episode and add whatever it needs, you can go in and remove the quotes and see any other mistakes in the article. Energy X 00:22, November 2, 2013 (UTC)
- The way you have it now is speculation without proof. Either reword to not be speculative it or I can remove it for you. . ƒelinoel_ 23:31, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
- If the edit you just made is in response to this, it is still stated in a way that states something without proof and is therefore still speculative... . ƒelinoel_ 06:15, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
- The way you have it now is speculation without proof. Either reword to not be speculative it or I can remove it for you. . ƒelinoel_ 23:31, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
If you wouldn't mind, could you start adding the Japanese and English names to the articles (like this: {{nihongo|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak|ゆうれいポケモンとなつまつり|Phantom Pokémon and the Summer Festival}} is the 18th episode of [[Pokémon: Indigo League]].)? Energy X 00:27, November 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Last I saw he was clarifiying to you about episode plots (someone was coyping them when I began adding plots). As for the articles, it is difficult, yes, but seeing how I did over 350 episode plots over the year, I just need a lot of time to accomplish the task, though it certainly would be easier with more people to add the plots. Energy X 00:46, November 2, 2013 (UTC)
Kalos booklet
No, I have never heard of it, why?Doc Nef (talk) 14:19, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
The only solution I made is that I copied the image and turned it into .jpg, not .png file. I have encountered a similar problem fixing an image, I assume it is a glitch Wikia will (as they have to) repair. Energy X 21:12, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
- But know that this is a tempoary. The image in the NextEpisode and in the PokéBox templates looks strange, so when the glitch is fixed, revert back to .png form, as it looks clearer. Energy X 21:17, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
Next Episode
I see that you are changing the Next Episode template. While I appreciate it, it would be good to change every month to insert next four episodes, as it gets "exhausting" to change every week. This way, people will see the episodes in this month. Energy X 16:26, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
Good. Well, do you know a manga writer? If we are going to compete with that site, we need someone who can write those kind of plots. Energy X 20:12, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean...? Please give an example. Energy X 00:04, November 12, 2013 (UTC)
Hm, that is actually my language. Hard to say why it appears for you as well... Maybe clearing up your cache would work? Energy X 10:52, November 12, 2013 (UTC)
Regarding Image Uploads
Is it mistake on my part to upload higher quality & resolution images, since you seem to prefer uploading images taken from filb.de. The ones i upload are from either 2chan or Screen Captures that i made myself.--Supratim1986 (talk) 11:56, November 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Didn't know that the anime section of this Wikia site is completely controlled by a single person. And that there is a rule against adding anything related to the anime in here unless its by you (Wasn't a Wikia sites meant to be open-source, i.e., anyone is allowed to contribute as long as the info is correct/accurate).
- I joined here in hopes that i would help make this Pokemon Wikia site on par with other Pokemon fan-sites atleast when regarding to image quality or correct info (whether it be games or anime).
- But i guess i was wrong to think that i would be allowed to do that in here as well.
- Never had this problem on the "Yu-gi-oh Wikia" until now where the amount of people inputs and articles added in is very much higher than here. Also because of my contribution, i was made a Mover in there (meaning that i am allowed to rename any images quite easily in there).
- Well i would keep that in mind and only do minor addition in here from now on--Supratim1986 (talk) 12:23, November 14, 2013 (UTC)
Serena's Page
Just came to know that you cover anime related articles,so I want to point something about Serena (anime).You see the is already under the pressure to write about her relationship with Ash.Other than that the article seems to be picture story.The page is covered with images.I don't think there should be so many pics on the page.The series has just started.If if continued like that then at the end of X and Y,only Serena's page will be containing ??? images.Also I wanted to know if this Pokémon is real of fake Volcanion--Chimferno (talk) 18:21, November 14, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not joke for Mega Jynx if new I saw Pokemon X and Y New but that there new mage with Latias and Latios that all I'm not jokeing (Dr.Kyurem (talk) 19:19, November 14, 2013 (UTC))
New Episodes
Despite being your warning,people are creating the pages to XY episodes that haven't aired yet.Check them XY007 and XY008--Chimferno (talk) 14:10, November 15, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Hey Winxfan,
Hey hey Winx,
It's me trainer micah i wonted to let you know as a message i am done with my blogs for now and also wonted to let you know now that i am done i wont be doing my two blogs til after the end of each series so you kinda know..
Anyway be sure to check my blog's out when you get a chance i think these two will come in handy for anime as well as the anime movies so you kinda know be my guest to check it out..
So you kinda know i'll be online tomarrow so in other words have a great nite...Trainer Micah (talk) 02:36, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
Not sure why are you doing this, but the images you paste over the image that exists (like this one) are much smaller. If you need to, just have a different file name. Energy X 14:14, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
All right... although, considering the glitch, the images should not be pasted over the same file name. Just warning about it. Energy X 21:02, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
Saw the edit you made to your user page in my inbox... Happy Birthday! I think? . ƒelinoel_ 03:04, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I sure hope I can... x.x . ƒelinoel_ 05:09, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
Well, due to your recent edits, I have grated you a place for this week's commentator. You can put your input on the fight here. Energy X 23:42, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, can you write your comment again? The fight is Steelix vs. Quagsire, not Charizard vs. Vaporeon. Energy X 21:03, December 5, 2013 (UTC)
File sizes
I have just realized that some of the file sizes do not have their code right. The episode lists that have 200x200px have the same size as 200px (just a shorter code). So, do you have time to shorten the codes on those lists? As a side note, it would be good to increase the size to 250px (to stretch the image). Energy X 22:17, December 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the images have been placed, except Zygarde, who does not have the artwork (yet). Energy X 23:50, December 14, 2013 (UTC)
I changed the file size of the Episode box to 300px (to get it larger than it is), but then I noticed that some files have size less than 200px; best to upload bigger images. Energy X 23:45, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
The easier the solution, the better. Although I do believe the images I upload are bigger than those already present... Energy X 23:53, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Since those images are replaced, they don't appear on any other article, so I delete them. If you still want them, I could undelete them... although they need to be placed somewhere (e.g. a sandbox). Energy X 15:30, December 17, 2013 (UTC)
I have made a navbox for the characters of Indigo League season. You can find it here. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Also, I could make one for XY series, so you can apply them. Energy X 21:53, December 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, anything else that can be added (besides the minor characters)? Energy X 22:20, December 17, 2013 (UTC)
Well, I made the navbox [[Template:Pokémon XY char|template for XY characters]], though it could use some colors. Enjoy! Energy X 22:53, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
But you do see that the picture I added to the article states he is Fiorella, don't you? I can only presume that Bulbapedia have made a mistake on naming the article. Energy X 15:35, December 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Dangit. I have just heard the episode and it is, indeed, Fiorello. So the picture was actually a mistake. My bad. Energy X 18:55, December 19, 2013 (UTC)
After searching through the Kanto characters for the template, I have seen that the images for Dr. Ahkihabara, Kaiser (from the banned episodes) and Cassandra's grandma (which I will get it these days) are missing. Do you think you could get the first two? Energy X 01:12, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
Well, there is a fact that this image does not present much, unlike the one I uploaded. But the bigger problem is that it is a .png file, while I upload .jpg files (and cannot stack on one another). But, I may find a way to change the pictures to .png files. Energy X 14:38, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
You can comment here on the fight of Ursaring vs. Steelix. Just erase the message and write your comment. Energy X 17:59, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
Article names
If it is not a problem, you could begin to insert episode names, done this way (the "-" determines the English name, but has not been announced yet). Energy X 12:05, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
Well, I could, but it is big enough, as it is not an image with 200px, but 300px, which is big enough. Are you sure you need a bigger image? Energy X 20:21, January 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I just replace images that have size less than 300px. But if you wish a larger one, I could upload it. Energy X 21:46, January 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Over at the Adventure Time wiki we have a template for images of poorer than preferred quality, it puts a banner on the image's article explaining that it is requesting that someone uploads a new version of the same image but with better quality, AND it puts it in a category for images of poor quality so that someone who wants to upload images can just check out the category. One could easily copy the template for use here to stop the need for future discussions like this since everyone will already know what needs a better quality version. . ƒelinoel_ 18:08, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
Could you vote on this, please? Energy X 22:27, January 29, 2014 (UTC)
Hi Winx i'm Rick do you think we should enable that new editor its very poor and i dont think it help out the new users thy will get confused even more!BlazeFire
Thanks Winx!Sorry,i forgot the read your statement but i think its quality is very bad though its new but still it wont make anything better.BlazeFire
Perhaps it is time you decide which Pokémon to battle. Pick two Generation III Pokémon whose one of the types are the same. Energy X 19:15, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
- Hm, you certain? It is just that it would be good to be more better than Bulbapedia in this, featuring moves that "have made their first appearance".
- Also, Ludicolo has been already, so please pick another one(s). Energy X 23:21, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
- Well, we do it by Pokémon and items, so it would be good to have moves included as well (plus, there are less amount of moves than there are Pokémon).
Ellie's Espurr
Can you find a good looking picture for the Ellie's Espurr page, please?
JE001 and OI035
JE001 and OI035 seem to have the same Japanese names. Could you check with other sites if it is the case? Energy X 22:02, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I checked and OI035 had a different name. Seems someone made a mistake. Energy X 22:41, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
How did you find out her was Penelope before it was even released?--Kyurem147 (talk) 17:52, April 13, 2014 (UTC)
Could you help me find it cause I'm way lost.--Kyurem147 (talk) 21:40, April 13, 2014 (UTC)
Re: Hey,
Hey Winxfan1,
This is Trainer Micah i see you have or haven't heard the news on pokemon XY024 aparently...
So you know make sure you see your blog i explained on to there you can check out Bulbapedia's News for more inforamtion on this so you know here is a link onto where to look...
Pokemon XY 024 postpone til futher notice -
This ^ is where i looked onto it should be on there still so make sure you check it does have another link in there onto what happened so you know i know this information might make you sad it already made me worry but you know me though...
And the old saying goes - When you worry to much you got to keep going to worryless right -
So you know if you feel up for a chat i am here online so you kinda know....
Chat with you soon....Trainer Micah (talk) 21:28, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
Hey Winxfan1,
This is Trainer Micah hey i have a small question for you it's about -edit's to join chatting- so you kinda know let me.The question are as follows:
How much do i need to actually join chat?
And i need to know where is rule located at can you -link- it to me?
I mean back when i started you know you said i need 25 edits correct now begining to question this now so you know...
Chat with me ASAP soon...Trainer Micah (talk) 22:04, May 7, 2014 (UTC)
Episode XY025
You know, I believe we should have that cancelled episode as its own article. We do have the BW023 and BW024 as separate pages, both episodes that did not air. We should do the same with this one. Energy X 14:13, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
- Nah, it is listed as unaired. Although an image from a preview would be nice. Energy X 17:07, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
we should keep it incase it does air and this site has kept other episodes that haven't aired before. Ellis99 (talk) 17:13, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
Well, for the meantime it should be renamed, XY???, to make it possible not to delete it and put it below the existing order of episodes in the template where it has the episodes for the current series. Ellis99 (talk) 17:49, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
Gen V
Do you have any ideas which Gen V Pokémon should battle next? It would be very good if you'd tell me now, since I have to update the battle. Energy X 23:03, May 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Not really comfortable by bringing a Legendary Pokémon, since it is stronger than others. Also, you need to pick two pairs, since it is a Double Battle. Energy X 23:20, May 20, 2014 (UTC)
I know that I haven't talk to you before but, what would happen to the article if the episode never airs. Ellis99 08:33, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
To me
Why are we putting it as XY??? when we already have BW023 and BW024 that haven't aired. Ellis99 11:10, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
But we didn't turn BW023 & BW024 in BW??? & BW??1, did we now. Ellis99 15:15, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
- It is best to remain as we are. Otherwise, unnecessary confusion is being made. Energy X 18:20, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

STRANGE. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow 13:36, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
Japanese translations
Hm, some of the Japanese translations from Pokémon: Advanced Generation episodes are not to our standards. Like AG003: "Tōka Gym! VS. Yarukimono!", when it should be "Petalburg Gym! VS. Norman!" Everyone would appreciate if those mistakes would be corrected. Energy X 20:40, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
Well, as you can see, the achievements are enabled once more. I talked with Slaying and he agreed, since this wiki is growing, plus there is much more activity than it was before the achievements were disabled. For you, it seems that you are #1, due to the achievements being preserved. Carry on, and good editing! Energy X 23:18, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
because you are ranked number 1 i thought that you might want to add x+y sprites for all poke mon here is a link to a website that has thousands of xy sprites including shinies
Told you already. Slaying and me discussed and thought that the Wiki has stabilized. As I recall, you and Crimsonavy were practically the only active editors. Now, he is gone and you seem not a very active person you used to. Besides, it will be on a test for a month, then we'll see if it will be kept or disabled. Energy X 12:47, June 18, 2014 (UTC)
want to compete against you two too. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 12:48, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

We are cooperating with the admins of Pokémon Adventures Wiki and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Wiki on merging with them, we plan on transferring the admins and other important figures of these site over. They also plan on making a poll to see who agrees with the merge on there site's, which we will also do to. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 18:29, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Winxfan1! I am so excited to be at Pokemon Wiki!
Huh, I see you managed to create it. Don't know why it happened, so you might try to name the page differently (like XY035), then move it to a correct name. Energy X 14:38, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
Hey Winx, happy birthday! As a present, you can vote here on the fight of Carbink vs. Skrelp! Energy X 23:03, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
Don't upload pics I've already uploaded. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 16:07, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
Well, as much as I appreciate that you uploaded images of greater resolution, you could've uploaded them over the same file names. Energy X 16:14, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
What website did you find these major high quality pics, because I would like to upload new images of Sinnoh's Gym leaders. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 17:38, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
Please. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 17:44, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
Ah, either you change your file names, whose names are the same ones on the Wiki, or you go to the file page, click "File history" and click "Upload a new version of this file", that way you can upload any file (even if it has a very long name) and the name will still be the same. Though mind you cannot upload .png over .jpg files or somesuch. Energy X 18:11, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
Not yet. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 07:10, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
Have you heard
Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon are going to be in Movie 18 next year. Ellis99 I'm feeling the flow! 07:26, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
It is possible
there is to be a reunion and a return to Hoenn. I think Ash an Co. will put a halt on there Kalos travels for a while them return where they last left in Kalos. Serena will probably become another Coordinator. They will probably come back in their Pokémon Z outfits (excluding Ash(Bonnie will probably have a new outfit too)).

I doubt that I would get more badges than you, I love Pokémon but I probably won't get that many badges. How long have you played Pokémon?
Hey winx Dragonspore told me you were leaving. Well before you go we really need your help. She needs help blogging the posts of new episodes so she can make them faster and asked me to help. I'd like to help her, but I'm way out of touch with this. To help her, I'll need help from a professional like you, someone to tell us how to do it.--Kyurem147 (talk) 04:24, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
Never expected that you would leave so early but I guess that everyone has to leave one day. I would like to honour your edits to this wiki and your contribution to Pokémon overall. Many of fans don't even know that the episodes they are reading at this wiki are primarily the hard work of Winxfan. I would like to thank you for everything. Hats Off to you.--Monfernape_If any problem? 07:47, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
It is a shame to hear that. I bet it is for that new rail Wikia will try to put. Anyway, come visit us sometime. Energy X 09:27, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
Okay, read the discussion and, despite some flamebiting, it does not seem like too much big deal. To leave that wiki, perhaps, but not the entire site (including this one).
But if there are other factors, I guess I should respect that. Well, if you are (truly) leaving, please vote on this. Energy X 11:36, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
