Cancer Types / Lung Cancers / Mesothelioma
What is mesothelial tissue? The mesothelium is a protective sac that covers and protects most internal organs in the body. It is composed of two layers, one layer covers the organ and the second layer forms a sac around it. The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs (such as the lungs) to move easily. The area between the two layers is often called the pleural space. Mesothelial tissue is found lining the abdominal cavity organs, lungs, testes and heart. What is mesothelioma? Mesothelioma occurs when the mesothelial cells grow out of control. These cells also lose the ability to stop producing the lubricating fluid when there is enough. This results in the unwanted encasement of organs within a thick rind of tumor tissue and excess fluid buildup, ultimately causing symptoms. These cells can grow and invade other organs, or ... read more on Mesothelioma: The Basics

A few weeks ago we got this message on Facebook, we don't always share these posts, but some stories need to be heard. The Facebook Fighter wrote: "Pornography was the biggest mistake of my life. I regret it more than anything. If I had a time machine, I'd go back and stay away from it. I would rather have thrown my computer out a window and smashed it into pieces.
Our movement has one main goal: to educate young people about the harmful effects of pornography. The campaign's mission has always been focused on spreading awareness. As we have pursued our purpose we have had some pretty cool experiences, but it seemed like we kept hearing the same story over and over again. Young people coming up to us, calling, emailing, "I am already caught up in this, I need help."The seed of FORTIFY took root. Now after nearly two years of research we are proud to announce the book is available now, with the FREE online program coming soon.
Man, why do I fight? While thinking about this I just didn't know where to begin. It's kind of like trying to figure out where a circle starts. You could say I've always danced to the beat of my own drum. And when I was very young I developed a reputation for being a Fighter of sorts. Not too long ago my older sister who has a crazy good memory was reminding me about what I was like when I was a kid. She said, "You were such a head-strong kid, and you were always in your own world." I guess you could say that now I'm just the more grown up version of that. So what does that mean?
The secretive nature of pornography use can often leave those who view it with feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, shame, and self-doubt, especially when it has already turned into an addiction (Stuart & Szymanski, 2012). Where can we find hope when we feel buried by our secrets or shame? I don't know why, but when I look for hope, springtime comes to mind. (Shout out to Mother Nature for it being springtime outside right now!!) I think I see hope in the spring because people come out of their winter cocoons, the trees and flowers bloom, the sun warms up and it feels like a great time to start over.

Thank you for such a thorough explanation old-polack. I can see a step that I missed on the CD drive and can't wait to try this again with your tute. It would be nice to pull out these directions and make it a sticky with the right heading. Very helpful
Yes, thank you again for the help. That worked so well and the way you show to do it is quicker than the way I went about it.

Waiting On Wednesday (3): Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.
This morning, as I was on my way to work, it was clear to me what my Waiting On Wednesday pick would be. A book I've been desperate to read for months and months and months. A book I've dreamt about. A book that the phrase 'waiting on' was invented for.
Summary from Amazon: After winning the brutal Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen returns to her district, hoping for a peaceful future. But Katniss starts to hear rumours of a deadly rebellion against the Capitol. A rebellion that she and Peeta have helped to create. As Katniss and Peeta are forced to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. Unless Katniss and Peeta can convince the world that they are still lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying...
On my way to work this morning, I started to write this post in my head. Basically what it came down to was this: how can anyone who has read The Hunger Games not be desperate to read Catching Fire? I just don't think it's possible. As far as I knew, the UK release was scheduled for the 1st September, the same as the US one - and I couldn't wait.
And then, people, a beautiful thing happened. I was walking past my favourite bookstore, having a little daydream in which I walked in to the YA section and Catching Fire was already on the shelf. So I went inside (hey, I just can't pass a bookstore without going in). And there it was, just like in my daydream. Catching Fire. So I picked it up, and bought it, thinking all the time that the assistant would suddenly tell me it was out by mistake and snatch my dreams away. When I made it out of the store with my copy, it was all I could do not to break into a run.
So... what was a Waiting On Wednesday pick this morning has turned into a Not Waiting On Wednesday post. You'll have to excuse me now. I'm off to read!

Supporters Gather to Honor Hailey Dunn's 14th Birthday
By: Shannon McConathy
Updated: August 28, 2011
Saturday afternoon dozens of people gathered to write personal messages to Hailey. Each message was tied to a balloon and let go in a nearby field.
Hailey's mother Billie Dunn was at the event. She expressed her anguish simply.
"I just want my baby back home," Dunn told the crowd.
Carrie McGonigle lost her daughter years ago. She founded Team Amber Rescue and came from California to support the event.
McGonigal says she spoke with local law enforcement about assisting the search, but says the arrangement was called off. She had harsh criticism for officials.
"Do you see any of them here? Sometimes those guys come back and 'join forces.' Where are they now?"
Saturday marks eight months since Hailey Dunn went missing.

News "Sylvia Mendez on Civil Rights in the 1940s and Today" IDRA Classnotes Podcast Episode 123 Sylvia Mendez remembers vividly the day in March of 1945 when her family was told she and the other children had to the "Mexican school." Her father knew it wasn't right. So, along with other families and with the help of LULAC, the Mendez sued four local school districts for segregating their children. Thurgood Marshall co-authored an amicus brief filed by the NAACP. The subsequent 1946 ruling in Mendez vs. Westminster and the California Board of Education ended segregation in California school districts. In this interview, Sylvia Mendez tells her story and describes how the Mendez case foreshadowed Brown vs. Board of Education less than a decade later. She cautions that schools are more segregated today then in the 1940s. She is interviewed by Kristin Grayson, M.Ed., an IDRA education associate and Bradley Scott, Ph.D., director of the IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity, provides and introduction.
Fostering Mutually Affirming Relationships, Curriculum Rigor and Relevance – Science Strategies for English Language Learners In diverse classrooms where there are ELL students, teachers often ask themselves what they can do to help students learn the English language while teaching the content that is required on top of preparing all the students to meet standards of a rigorous curriculum and state assessments. IDRA's publication, Science Instructional Strategies for English Learners – A Guide for Elementary and Secondary Grades, presents seven umbrella research-supported strategies for the science classroom (Villarreal, et al., 2012). In this article, Nilka Avilés, Ed.D., describes one of the strategies: foster mutually affirming relationships, curriculum rigor and relevance in successful bilingual and ESL science. The strategies also can be used as a base for teacher professional development at both the elementary and secondary levels.

Science Classroom Strategies for English Learners – iPads and Other Tablets for Teachers Having already explored some iPad possibilities as a student tool in their previous article, in which they discussed the learning potential for students when the iPad becomes a medium for producing knowledge, Veronica Betancourt, M.A., and Paula Johnson, M.A., shift their focus to how teachers, as instructional leaders, can maximize the capabilities of iPads and other tablets in the classroom as a teacher tool. In addition to giving examples of how teachers are using iPads, this article presents steps to ensuring teachers feel comfortable in implementing apps in the classroom.

Proud member of the Better Busines Bureau since 2005
Many fly-by-night online traffic schools claim to be "approved" in certain states and courts, when, in fact, they are not. If you take an unapproved course, chances are the court of issuance will reject your certificate of completion and you will have to contact the traffic school for a refund. This is more than an inconvenience, this will cost you time, money, and could result in you missing your court due date and having a ticket end up on your record. At GoToTrafficSchool.com, we encourage all of our customers to check with the court of issuance prior to enrolling in one of our courses. As one of the largest and most-trusted traffic schools in the country, GoToTrafficSchool.com has statewide approvals in over 15 states, plus hundreds of individual courts and counties.

Castlewood South Dakota Traffic Violations
If you get pulled over in Castlewood South Dakota and are charged with violating the Castlewood South Dakota traffic laws, a law enforcement officer will issue you a citation explaining how you can pay your traffic ticket to the Castlewood South Dakota court overseeing your violation. If you want to challenge your traffic ticket, just review the citation for the address and contact information of the local Castlewood South Dakota court overseeing the jurisdiction where you were ticketed, and contact them to arrange for a hearing for your traffic violation. If you are unsure of exactly how to dispute the charges but are confident you did not commit the violation you have been ticketed for, consider contacting an experienced attorney to help you with disputing your traffic violation.
If you feel you are likely guilty of your traffic violation but would like an opportunity to reduce the violation charged against you based on your particular circumstances and your (hopefully) clean previous Castlewood South Dakota driving record, you can also appear in court and request some form of leniency from the Castlewood South Dakota court.
If you are convicted of the traffic violation, which includes paying your ticket and moving on, Castlewood South Dakota's Motor Vehicles Division ("MVD") will assign points against your Castlewood South Dakota driving record.
Castlewood South Dakota Points System
The Castlewood South Dakota MVD oversees a points system to prevent unsafe drivers from inhabiting the roads and highways. If you are negligently involved in an accident or commit a traffic violation, points will attach to your Castlewood South Dakota driving record. The following are some examples of point values assigned to common traffic violations:
The Castlewood South Dakota point system does not assign you multiple sets of points if you are involved in multiple traffic violations at once; rather, the highest point total of all violations is all that will be added to your Castlewood South Dakota driving record. So, if you are caught passing a vehicle on the shoulder while speeding, your Castlewood South Dakota driving record will only be cited four points, rather than 6.
That is the good news. The bad news is that, if you are a Castlewood South Dakota resident and you commit a traffic violation in another state, the Castlewood South Dakota MVD will attach those points and that traffic violation to your Castlewood South Dakota driving record as well. Also, points will generally stay on your Castlewood South Dakota driving record for three years.
Suspension of Your Castlewood South Dakota Driving Privileges
If 15 points end up on your Castlewood South Dakota driving record in one year, or you accumulate 22 points in two years, your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges will be suspended. Your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges may also be immediately suspended if you are convicted of, or plead guilty to, one of the following:
The list above is not exclusive, but if you commit a traffic violation or other infraction that will result in the immediate suspension of your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges, the Castlewood South Dakota MVD will notify you by mail shortly after you are convicted or plead guilty. The Castlewood South Dakota law enforcement officer issuing you the citation for such activity will likely also inform you of the potential ramifications regarding your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges.
All suspensions are discretionary in time. Either the Castlewood South Dakota MVD or the local Castlewood South Dakota court handling your violation will take into account your Castlewood South Dakota driving record and the current traffic violation leading to your suspension when determining the length of suspension of your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges.
Attending Traffic School in Castlewood South Dakota
The Castlewood South Dakota MVD does not authorize points or traffic violations being taken off your record simply by enrolling in a Castlewood South Dakota traffic school. As part of a sentence related to a suspended license, the Castlewood South Dakota MVD may order you to enroll in a Defensive Driving Class offered by the Castlewood South Dakota Safety Council but, again, this will not improve your driving record beyond enabling you to have your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges reinstated.
However, a Castlewood South Dakota court may allow you to enroll in a Castlewood South Dakota online traffic school or online driver improvement program in exchange for reducing or dismissing your traffic violation altogether, and with it the points on your Castlewood South Dakota driving record. While this is not a given, by appearing in court or contacting the court overseeing your violation, you may be able to request an opportunity for this lenient decision if you enroll in a Castlewood South Dakota online traffic school or online driver improvement program. Again, any such consideration will be aided if you are aware of the specifics of the traffic violation laws in question or you have hired an attorney. Further, your sincerity in maintaining a clean Castlewood South Dakota driving record, as well as your driving history and the specific circumstances involving your current violation will all be taken into account by a Castlewood South Dakota court before it considers offering you a chance to clear your Castlewood South Dakota driving record.
The Benefits of a Clean Castlewood South Dakota Driving Record
You don't just want a clean Castlewood South Dakota driving record to prevent your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges from being taken away, though that is obviously important. A clean driving record is also paramount to keeping your insurance premiums low. Your Castlewood South Dakota car insurance costs are tied directly to the overall cleanliness of your Castlewood South Dakota driving record. The more violations you rack up, the more your premiums will skyrocket, costing you hundreds to thousands of dollars each year. These premium hikes come in addition to the fines you will have to pay for your traffic violations, court costs and possible reinstatement fees to get your Castlewood South Dakota driving privileges back.
A Castlewood South Dakota online traffic school program is designed to prevent all of these problems from coming your way. In addition to the possibility of helping you get traffic violations reduced or dismissed, a Castlewood South Dakota online driver improvement program teaches you invaluable safe driving skills that will keep you out of accidents, off the phone with your insurance carrier, away from court and out of the line at your local Castlewood South Dakota MVD office.
Castlewood South Dakota Mature Driver Insurance Discounts
A Castlewood South Dakota online traffic school can even qualify you for an insurance discount. If you are a Castlewood South Dakota Mature Driver over the age of 55, you may qualify for unique insurance discounts from your auto insurance providers by enrolling in Castlewood South Dakota traffic school courses designed to refresh safe driving habits in mature drivers, and helping you learn defensive driving techniques to not only keep your insurance premiums low, but possibly discount them even further.
Castlewood South Dakota Juvenile Driver Insurance Discounts
Castlewood South Dakota juvenile drivers should also contact their insurance provider to discuss a possible discount to their auto insurance. Because juvenile drivers, those drivers under the age of 18, are the most likely to be involved in a traffic violation or traffic accident, insurance companies provide incentives for young drivers who have clean driving records. By participating in a Castlewood South Dakota online driver improvement program or traffic school, your Castlewood South Dakota driving record will show that you are committed as a juvenile driver to safe driving, and in turn your auto insurance provider may be willing to lower your insurance costs to promote your safe driving behavior.
Castlewood South Dakota Classroom Traffic Schools
If you would like to learn more about possible Castlewood South Dakota traffic schools that teach defensive driving skills in a traditional classroom setting, you should contact the Castlewood South Dakota MVD for a list of MVD-approved brick-and-mortar schools. You can also reach out to the local Castlewood South Dakota court handling your traffic violation, or your auto insurance carrier, to see if they have approved certain traditional Castlewood South Dakota traffic schools in the past.

The Azu-garden is my usual choice for a hotel in Osaka, I've stayed there on several occasions, most recently in March 2012 and going back there next week (07/2012).

John Boehner Keeps the Speakership for Two More Years
Between his failure to get a grand bargain on the fiscal cliff and the Sandy aid debacle, 2013 hasn't gotten off to a great start for the House Speaker—but at least he got to keep his job. Howard Kurtz on why no one stepped up to challenge the man struggling to keep control of his members.
A battered John Boehner gets to hang on to his job for another two years.
The Congress re-elected Speaker Boehner by a tally of 220 to 192 Thursday. Boehner was sworn in following a tear-loaded speech calling for more unity and communication in Congress.
It was hardly a surprise when House Republicans, at the start of the 113th Congress, voted Thursday to keep the Ohio lawmaker as their speaker. Despite some rumblings in the press, his job was never seriously threatened.
Most Republican members like Boehner personally and appreciate his low-key style. There's also an iron law in politics that you can't beat something with nothing. With no prominent challenger having emerged, Boehner was always going to skate to a second two-year term.
Boehner won with 220 votes, although there were eight defectors and four abstentions—a small, but unmistakable protest vote. The Republican majority in the House has been reduced to 17 seats, and the most conservative faction would have needed only that many votes to force a second round of balloting.
By any conceivable measure, Boehner has had a rough two years. The fiscal-cliff negotiations turned into a nightmare when he couldn't produce enough votes for his own Plan B alternative. With Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell taking the lead, Boehner was sidelined at the end, and the final bill was passed with far more Democratic votes than Republican. Boehner was abandoned even by his two top deputies, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy.
While he was boxed in by the cliff deadline and the reelection results, Boehner presided over the first major tax increase in more than decades that was passed with substantial Republican votes—and under a Democratic president.
And for good measure, members of Boehner's own party blasted him for failing to bring up the Hurricane Sandy aid bill.
He didn't have a great 2011, either, having brought the country to the brink of default when his caucus balked at raising the federal-debt ceiling in another down-to-the-wire drama. Little wonder that Boehner now says he won't negotiate one-on-one with President Obama anymore, but will try to fashion House legislation that can pass the Senate.
And, as I noted this morning, this Congress was the least productive in modern history, passing just 219 bills—although Boehner's House did manage to repeal Obamacare more than 30 times. (Psst: It's still the law of the land.)
He is a merlot-sipping, cigarette-smoking golfer who, were it up to him, would have reached a grand bargain with Obama on taxes and spending. But his fractious caucus would not go along.
Now Boehner has two more years to try to whip the other 232 Republican House members into something resembling a governing coalition.

I'm curious how most people are playing the game. The book and community seem to be oriented towards players using canon characters during the game, within the canon events of the Marvel universe. Is that a fair assessment?
I know I can use the game however I wish. I'm interested in how everyone else plays it.

Fatal Overdose Leads to Charges Filed in Ozaukee County
A 24-year-old Milwaukee man faces felony charges for homicide and delivering drugs in the death of a 24-year-old Grafton man earlier this year.
A series of text messages between an Ozaukee County man and an alleged drug dealer have led to homicide charges in connection with the area man's fatal overdose. Joshua Gray, 24, of Milwaukee, was charged in Ozaukee County Court on Monday with felony charges of first-degree reckless homicide and delivering drugs. If convicted, he faces up to 40 years in prison and fines of $100,000. A $75,000 cash bond was set during his initial appearance on Monday. The victim, Riley Knapp of Grafton, was found unresponsive when a friend stopped by to check on Knapp after not hearing from him for some time at 11:30 a.m. Jan. 3, according to the criminal complaint. He was pronounced dead at 12:25 p.m. Knapp was found in his bedroom, where a needle, …

ALBANY, GA -- A Moultrie man is being sought after following the burglary of a local dry cleaning store.
The suspect reportedly made his way into the store via the mailbox slit at the front of the store. Twisting and squirming his way through, the burglar fought his way into the store and took several minor items, before retreating out the same mailbox.
Moultrie Police currently have no suspects in the case and are asking for the public's assistance in locating the man.

I own a couple pairs of these beach pants. I really like them.
I would mention that I found the size medium ran a bit large and so my next order I bought the small size. They are also long in the leg for us smaller folk. Just expect to want to hem them if your legs are shorter.
I am very happy with my Zno Beach Pants. They are extremely comfortable and breathe well. I am so happy that I bought several pairs.
I love these pants. They are so comfortable...I had only one problem, trying to get them back from my daughter once she had tried them on!!
Nice quality, but you definitely pay for it. I normally wear a small and ordered a small--they were a bit large and very long.
They are a comfortable weight. The fit is perfect. I'm glad they come in more than one color.
Beach pants too clingy, not what I expected, should have sent them back
I am 62 years old in good shape and being retired I spend a lot of active time taking care of my family, my garden and my 89 year old mother. I hate wearing jeans or khaki's to work in when I'm up and down and all around but I want something stylish to wear that's not too tight or too baggy. These pants are incredible, a wonderful value and they wear beautifully. I'm ordering the capris and the Zno sweater for me and for gifts. And they are so comfy and cool to wear. The are my favorite casual pant and I can even make a quick trip to the store in them and still look good!
I have several pair with mix/match shirts and jackets.....best sun protection and looks good too....can dress up or down

Chandelure was one of the scariest Pokemon to come at BWs reveal. At 145 it has the highest non-legendary Spatk in the game taking the position from Alakazam/Porygon-Z. It's got a unique Fire/Ghost type that is resisted only by a handful of type combinations not to mention you get 3 immunities with Flash Fire. However it has few flaws keeping it out of the top of OU. Stealth Rock hampers it's ability as a Choice User by knocking 25% off for each switch in. It's also lacking defensively. 60/90/90 is mediocre at best and the Ghost typing leaves it vulnerable to Pursuit. 80 Speed is alright but doesn't win any awards. Still, despite these setbacks, Chandelure's nuclear spatk nets it the position as one of the best Revenge killers around.
Flame Body: It means Chandelure can possibly take more hits but it's really less reliable compared to...
Flash Fire: You're immune to Fire and you get a 50% boost to Fire if you get hit by one. It's Chandy's best ability that's currently available. Eventually it will be outclassed by...
Shadow Tag: Yeah, the ability that got Wobbufet into Ubers, has been given to something with the highest non-legend Spatk. It turns you into the
perfect Revenge killer, allowing you to trap and choose what to KO without having to predict switches.
Chandelure@Choice Scarf
252 Spatk/252 Speed/4 HP
Flash Fire
-Fire Blast/Overheat
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball
-Hidden Power[Fighting/Ground/Ice]
imo, the definitive Chandelure set. One of the big problems with Chandy is its average speed. As always, the humble Choice Scarf remedies the issue. Fire Blast is a powerful and reliable STAB but Overheat better fits the hit-n-run style of Choice items. Shadow ball is your other STAB and pairs pretty well with your Fire STAB. Energy Ball hits bulky Waters such as Gastrodon for massive damage. For Hidden Power you have a choice. Fighting nails T-tar while Ground hits Heatran harder. The alternative is HP[Ice] for Dragons and Gliscor but on the whole you lack coverage over important counters.
While the Fire/Ghost typing is good offensively, certain Pokemon do resist the combo. Namely Heatran and Tyranitar. Well, BalloonTran and ChopleTar since you could be on the end of a nasty Hidden Power. Porygon2 with Trace gets a special mention for being immune to both Fire and Ghost, as long as the opponent has Flash Fire(they will). Empoleon has a wonderful SpDef stat and Hydro Pump. Hydreigon's and Houndoom's Dark Pulse gets rid of it too. Lots of faster Scarfers can revenge it easily, Landorus, Terakion, Rotom-W, Flygon, Politoed. And lets not forget the bane of spattackers everywhere, Chansey and Blissey.
you should note Blissey isn't always a counter 252 special attack life orb chandelure in the sun vs. standard blissey set (252/0) is a 2Hko after stealth rock damage
If not using the life orb it is a 3Hko and choice specs/Calm mind don't even need the SR damage.
In short: chandelure's specs/+1 fire blast in the sun is strong enough to 2HKO blissey which shows how awesome is chandelure.

What won't break if you throw it off the highest building in the world, but will break if you place it in the ocean?
Spoiler:- Answer:
Finally! A Pokemon I can luuve!
Nah, just kidding. Chandelure is awesome though. Its typing gives it som great coverage and OK stats all around.
My Chandelure:
Abillity: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest
Item: Leftovers
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball
This is my moveset, and it works pretty well. Will-O-Wisp is there to accompany Energy Ball in wrecking attacking Rock/Ground types as they should be considered a real threat. Energy Ball also gives a coverage when it comes to Water-types..
Flamethrower > Fire Blast due to accuracy, pluss the fact that Flamethrower has more PP.
Shadow Ball is there for general damage and STAB.
In generall, I really love this pokemon and it has a permanent spot on my White team. ^^
Chandelure @ Leftovers (Flame Body)
Substitute - Will-O-Wisp - Hex - Flamethrower
252 HP - 80 Defense - 172 Sp.Defense - 4 Speed (Bold)
it may not have the best defenses, but if you get this to work, it'll give the opponent a taste of hell. hex (if opponent is statused) has a higher BP than shadow ball, plus who doesn't love burning physical hitters? flamethrower for STAB.
Although it's been done, I want to contribute this week! It's been a while since the PotW has been one I actually use (or will use)
Straightforward Murder
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
Item: Fire/Grass/Psychic/Ghost Gem
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
EVs: 4 Sp.Def/252 Sp.Atk/252 Spd
This is the moveset I use with Celeste, my Chandelure, and it covers a heck of a lot. However, you could be walled easily by a Houndoom, who resists three of her moves and is immune to one.
Energy Ball/Shadow Ball catches super-effective hits on Jellicent, who is one of Chandelure's worst nightmares.
That's all I've got, but I'll try to contribute again and more often.
Chandelure @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest
EV's: 252 SAtk/252 Spd/4 SDef or 4 HP
Fire Blast/Flamethrower
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
This set is pretty much explains itselfs. The fire type move for STAB, Shadow Ball to take Psychics and other Ghosts, Energy Ball for Jellicent, and Psychic for Fighting types.
You're better off using Shadow Ball twice. It'll do more damage than using one turn to burn them, then Hex them in the next turn, assuming you survive long enough to Hex.
Also, why do so many people insist on running Psychic on it? It doesn't provide any useful coverage. A neutral attack from it will deal with Poisons and Fightings just fine.

My RPer's profile, White 2 FC: 0218 8695 9493, Trainer Name: Nate
It's actually a lot better to run HP fighting with it. Or at least something like HP water or ice.
ummm, i was gonna post a proper reply but i got a bit much i need to do, spriting and all
umm, chandelure, its a, umm, good ghost fire pokemon.
i used chandelure in my last wifi battle and it pwnd most of my rivals team. the moves used were as follows:-
~shadow ball~
~calm mind~
~enerfy ball~
umm, the natuer: bold
item leftovers
yeah. shadowball gets stab and is good. calm mind for boost. will-o-wisp for burning. energy ball for getting waters.
IMO its more a fire type than a ghost.
hoping for wheezing next time!
EDIT: also, i need someone to answer my question; what should i restart, blue or red? pm me plz!
~~need a jirachi, celebi, mew, phione.~~
wanting a dream world ninetails or poiltoad. plz help
pokedex is at 607 entries. please help me!
I'm a little bit surprised no one's turned this one in. I guess mainly because its primary purpose is for Double Battles, or to Stomp Trick Room teams, but I'd say it was pretty good. Worth considering?
Chandelure (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef (for TR, else Speed instead of HP)
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Imprison
- Trick Room
- Shadow Ball
- Heat Wave/Overheat/Flamethrower
Compared to all the Pokemon being run, Chandelure could be pretty dangerous in a Trick Room team, as well as on a non-Trick Room Team. Chandelure can also be used as a counter Trick Room monster, although I guess that's not so common in OU.
Imprison+Trick Room stomps on TR teams, while the Focus Sash promises at least one more turn (beware Revenge Killers). Heat Wave is the standard for Doubles, although others could be used for Singles.
* Luxray, is my claim.
Quick question: Once Shadow Tag is available, how exactly are they all switching into one of Chand's Moves? They'd come in off of a KO'd ally in said case. All of those listed were mostly for Shadow Tag Chand' countering, which, as previous posts show, would be the main usage of Chand' once DW Abilities are available for 5th Gen Pokemon. Revenge killing would become standard fare for fighting Chandelure.
Before then, I agree with your logic. Switching into a Flame Body/Flash Fire Chandelure is risky, if not suicidal. You'd need precision forethought, knowledge of Chand's Item, a way to shrug off its Specials, and a way to counter its replacement if it switches out.
Plus, 60 HP and 90 defense stats are merely okay when combined. I look at Base 70 as average HP and Base 80 as average for non-HP stats, so Chand' has sub-average HP and above average Defense and Sp.Def. Basically, Chand' is only okay defensively.
"Only okay defensively" doesn't really cut it for me when you're weak to 5 of the most common offensive Move Types, especially with average Speed and one of those 5 Types being Rock. That is why, to me, it's a mistake to say Chandelure belongs in Ubers at all. It's fine where it is.
Chandelure will have a one-way ticket to Ubers once shadow tag is released, due to how horrible broken either setup variants or simply scarf revenge killers become w/ shadow tag. Effectively, as these are OU analyses, everything said here will become irrelevant once shadow tag is actually out.
For the night is dark and full of terrors
Though, to be fair, my previous set's pretty much all litwick can do in LC. Though you can go ahead and try to do better if you like.
So here is my latest contribution:
MEANWHILE, in middle cup
Lampent @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP/4Def/252 Sp.Att
Modest Nature
-Pain Split
-Fire Blast
So here is the first set for the middle line, lampent. Modest for extra power, air balloon to give it more immunities to switch into.
The first move slot is for support. While Toxic gives you a sweeping advantage, Will-O-wisp lets you survive physical moves easier.
Pain Split is for recover, and Hex can be used together with move slot #1. Fire Blast is for another STAB power.
For EVs, I made it defensive since its speed is not great (55 base).
Trick Room Sweeper
Lampent @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP/4Def/252 Sp.Att
Quiet Nature
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball
-Psychic/Hidden Power [Ground]
-Fire Blast
With 95 base sp.att, it'll make a pretty good special sweeper actually. Just make it the slowest and set trick room.
If you can have shadow tag, use it to make it an instant revenge killer.
As a weaker chandelure, lampent makes a decent sweeper, but in a different way. As mentioned earlier, 95 sp attack is exceptable, while 55 base speed makes it among the slowest pokemon in the middle cup tier. That's why I mentioned earlier that it needs trick room support.
Other options for lampent includes:
-Trick Room to set up itself.
-Overheat if you want to make it a support Pokemon. Use it together with fire gem for extra power.
-Night Shade and Pain Split may be used togather with Overheat since their power won't be hindered.
-Eviolite is not such a great option for lampent here. It only boosts its defences by 1.3, and it has up to about 5 weakness to be exploited with.
Yeah. I think that is all for now. I only want to see a double pre-evo corner......
Last edited by pikadon92; 8th February 2012 at 7:52 AM.
I think Houndoom really is the best conter. It is immune to Fire Blast, resists Shadow Ball and Energy Ball and is immune to Psychic. It only fears Hidden Power, which not all Chandelure sets carry. It can come on scarved set and scare him away, maybe even take the Flash Fire Boost and set up with Nasty Plot on the switch. It can outspeed Life Orb and Air Balloon sets and strike with Dark Pulse. Hell(gar), it can even run Pursuit and mess Chandelure for good.
And of course Heatran if you're fighting in OU. That also resist Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, and Psychic, while having an immunity to fire. It's got more bulk as well, and is generally more viable in OU. Though it does fear it's HP fighting, they usually carry choice sets.
