What makes you quit a game?
Like (0)
hello everyone. so what makes you quit a game? for me....its when i start a match...say kill confirmed...score will be...say 6 to 6...all of a sudden everyone on the other team....lets fly with..missles helicopters..pave lows ect....im like wtf? lol..seems unfair so i leave...
theres only 2 things that will make me leave a game lag and my 3 month old daughter screaming down my ear
I don't mind taking a beating, but not when it's do to retarded matchbalancing and lagvantage. So yes, bad teammates and lag. Oh and getting dropped in a lost game.
lag, boosting and cheating.
i hate joining a game of HC dom and the score is 5 : 140 and the opposition team all have over 50 kills... so i quit. but really pisses me off is that the game decides to put me back in the same game 5 more times... WTF?
whan i cant hold my can of cider anymore as too drunk and think it must be time for bed
Mostly when lag compensation is owning me ..
LAG Comp

Just fix it or take it out of the game.
What get's me is lately I will be playing HC KC. Someone on the other team will call in a UAV and I'm like ok. But then all of a sudden it announces again, again and again that the enemy has called in a UAV.
Is this some sort of glitch? It's like thee other team calls in 7 or 8 UAV's at a time. There will be one called in, and then they seem to just duplicate in the air. I have been playing a game and in the beginning someone on the other team calls in a UAV, fine I look at his score and he has at least 3 kills, but then 3 or 4 more get called in and I know there is no way the other team has enough kills to justify that many UAV's being called in.
Anyone else run into this?? Is this some sort of glitch? Are they really being called in or is this some error within the game??? So confused....
When i am Host..
Since i have a Good internett conection it feels like i am getting punish"d !
It's so easy to tell that I am host now, every time it happens from the very get go my screen is jumping around. It doesn't matter if I just sit there or if I am running around I can see little inconsistencies.
Sucks b/c then I back out of the game (let's face it, when host you almost always guaranteed to go negative, even if just by one) and hope that I didn't ruin any games.
Yea it's not fun when it feels like every enemy has stopping power and juggernaut on...and for them it;s like they are playing hardcore against you.
If something doesn't "feel" right with the game like lag switching or just glitchy gameplay - or if I'm getting "gangbanged" by a clan and literally can't do anything to respond.
Spawn Trapped
Suspected Cheating/Gangbanged by a clan
boosters in infected. Thats it. The rest are issues I caused by not killing enough ppl.
Firing off an entire clip, center mass, but only getting one or two hitmarkers and then I die. Watch killcam and I didn't fire a shot. (Hit detection)
I spontaneously drop dead. Watch killcam and somehow there was a guy directly in front of me. Apparently I am running about a second behind other players in the game. (Lag)
Frame drops leading to my screen freezing and being unable to even leave the game. I think 1.10 fixed this though. I have had frame drops, but not to the point of freezing again. (IW taking a page from honeybadger's book and not giving a F***)
I quit when I lag into walls, run full steam only to be right back where I started, and die mysteriously.
Lag, being dropped into a game thats nearly over or dropped into a side thats losing by more than 2000, did I mention lag, oh and lag.
Lag and MP7 overpowered are 2 valid reasons?
Mexicans. It's usually the Mexicans who make me quit.
Whooo....cracked me up.
Mostly cuz I live in souther Co and end up in Mexican lobbies a lot of the time.
For me its more the PR (Puerto Rican) lobbies. If there is more than 1 person who has a PR in their name (not just clan tag) it usually is pretty laggy for me. And to no one's surprise they are usually at the top of the leaderboard. Wish there was some way to address this. I will usually only back out of a match if after checking the scores throughout the game they are the people with 1, maybe 2 yellow bars and are hammering people. Really love it when I'm using a Predator Missile and I can see them jumping all over the place even more.
I'm guessing you meant to say, "What makes you quite out of a match?" but I will answer what you wrote, "What makes you quit a game?"...
The horrendous lag system on Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 (which if nothing else is inconsistent and ruins the flow of any strategy) is enough to make me quit a game.
I quit both recently. I'm back on World at War now. The system of knowing how much lag I have with 2-3 bars and waiting in a lobby until I am promoted to host is a dream compared.
Snipers Q/S ,dixxhxxxs running around with sniper rifles who the beat you in a gun fight even though you have an assault rifle, lag lag lag
ive only rage quit twice both lag
a heart attak and lag of course
after reading the above post i have to say that the large number of cheats being used by a lot of people makes me leave and its getting worse , i dont mind getting beaten by a skilled player , but when the enemy team average 50+ kills for 3-5 deaths its just crazy , one player was well past 70 kills for less than 10 deaths . i would love to see a download which make all cheats void and put fair fights back in the game . out with cheaters .
Lag compensation, only way i can get a fair game is to try to enter a freshly started game and hope the scores are not too far apart.
Lag makes me quit, seem to quit more games than i finish now
Lag. Normally it transpires I was the host and I feel totally justified.
When the rest of my team has left, 1 v 6 isn't a game.
Very occasionally when the entire enemy team is quick scoping, but that is rare.
BO and MW3 are the first CoDs that I have ever quit matches, I didn't quit once in MW2 or W@W.
a few things that I can think of. Lag of course. if I get put into a match 4 kills before the end (no hope of winning).. you think it's really the most common thing. I rather a lose then to go against a batch of try hard losers
The only reason i would leave a game is due to lag. However turning off the video uploading setting has seemed to reduce any instances of lag i have encountered.
I quit when I'm with retards.
So when I'm on a team were I die 2 times to air support before changing my class and taking it out myself. Then I think ok I'll let them off. Then I find them surrounding our Dom base flag. So I think I'll lead them forward. So I jump on b flag 1 guy jumps on with me stairs the direction I'm facing so we get shot in the back.
So I manage to cap b now my team cap the 3rd flag now I'm getting mad.
Then I'm getting blocked from going through doors by my team m8 crouched in the door even tho it's in our spawn.
Then I see people running past flags and not trying to cap b or not giving me cover whilst capping b and I just think **** you retards I'm off lol I just back out I don't dashboard as I'm not a stat ***
I only quit when there's lag (insta-death)
I started playing ctf today all my team was trying to steal there flag so I thought ok I'll take 1 for the team. So I stayed on my own to defend on bakara. I made 3 defends then the round was nearly over.
So I ran all the way up the hill lol all my team is there I grabbed there flag ran back down regrabbed our now stolen flag and capped it lol
Then I quit be because obviously my team are dumb
The only thing that lets me leve a game is when my daughter starts to scream at me, over and over again....But even if you are having a bad game..like the one I had yesterday, I started out 10 kills and 12 deaths..frustrated, I thought about quiting, but decided to help the team win...finished strong with a 34 Kills and 14 deaths on drop zone...you never know what you can do when you are determined....
Lag and player who camp make me leave a game. Other than that i stay till the end.
True. I wouldn't quit for dying too much ect but just when your in a team game and you realise your playing with absolute idiots. I just can't take it.
There needs to be a guide wrote for game modes lol like little tips for people lol
Like don't walk through doors directly behind someone ect
ive already commented on this post a while ago but ive a new rule for leaving games it called the 3 bullsh*t death rule ive just quit the last 2 game in a row heres the reasons
1st game i joined half way through
death 1 hit by predator
death 2 hit by another predator
death 3 spawned in full view of a sniper scoped in
bare in mind i was using blindeye and there was no one round next to me
2nd game is about a minute old
death 1 spawned behind a sniper starts shooting only for him to spin round and cheapscope me
death 2 spawned in the same place with the same sniper standing right in front of me so i got cheapscoped again
death 3 spaned next to a semtex
and no i dont dashboard i just leave and take the loss
Lag, I can deal with some lag but when i start getting frame rate drops is when i quit.
Boredom makes me quit the game.
1) When I get placed into a game in progress where my team is losing and there is only a minute left in the game.
2) When a friend invites me to a game of BF3
1) when the other team has clan tags of [MEX] [VZLA] [PR#1] or [DR]. I know I'm absolutely ****** on a foreign connection, so I won't try
2) when I'm going positive, yet getting slammed by air support. Had a game recently where I was 13-1 after joining late and all the sudden a MOAB starts to go off. So if I'm doing well and my teammates suck, I'm out.
3) if I join a completely un winnable game. I've joined a few in KC where it was like 50-6, I'm immediately out of there. I'm taking the loss either way, id rather not deal with the slaughter.
1. Gone
2. Gone
3. Cursing everyone on my team as harshly as possible. The You Guessed It...I'm Signing Out.

Well guess what everyone? I lied in my previous review. I will not be stopping my super-long-Pokemon-essay writing anytime soon. I think they're utterly faaaaabulous so I'll keep track of all the episodes with essays from now on; I just love typing out my thoughts on the new episodes. Anyway, I got to watch the episode in high-quality this time, so I should be able to figure out what's going on in this one (no more mix-ups with attack names this time). This episode has it's ups and it's downs, and wasn't my favorite BW episodes so far, but I'll expand on that in this essay. Anyway, this Munna and Musharna episode starts off where the previous Sanyou City Gym battle episode left off; with Yanappu aiming a Solarbeam at Mijumaru and Mijumaru being paralyzed with fear (I still love that scene, so I'm gonna link to the image of that scene, right here). All things looked hopeless, but then the tables turned!
Ash yells at Mijumaru, apparently giving him an order, and Mijumaru uses the shell on it's tummy to deflect Yanappu's Solarbeam and send it straight up and through the floor ceiling! That was very unexpected, considering how paralyzed with shock Mijumaru was just one episode previous to this one. I dislike this lack on continuity. Anyway, we get some cool Isshu Gym music and then we see that Pod and Corn are shocked with Mijumaru's tactic and even Iris seemed impressed. The cheerleading fangirls seemed pretty sad as well. Dento seems to praise Mijumaru's use of it's shell and then proceeds to use Bullet Seed. Ash has Mijumaru uses it's Shell Blade, but then Bullet Seed messes up that strategy and Mijumaru and it's shell fell into the rocks below. How convenient that it should fail at that moment. Anyway, Iris and Kibago looked pretty distressed when they saw that. I would be too, since it was Mijumaru's coolest moment so far I believe.
Anyway, Mijumaru makes an attempt to get it's shell back from the rocks, but Dento has Yanappu use it's Bullet Seed to scare Mijumaru off. I found it funny how Mijumaru dodged most of the seeds, but got hit with the last one and started to wobble a bit. Dento then says "it's tasting time" and the fangirls start to cheer again. May I ask what they're going to taste? Tea? I know that the Gym is also a restaurant, but that was random. Anyway, Dento starts talking/ranting in a seductive voice and starts showing off Yanappu's fists and stuff, and the fangirls continued to cheer. Iris looked embarrassed for them, and so did I. After a short conversation with Dento, Ash had Mijumaru aim Water Gun at the wall, which I found weird at first. It turns out that Ash is smart again, and that Water Gun was able to ricochet off the wall, then the rocks, to hit Mijumaru's shell so that Mijumaru could get to it without Yanappu getting involved again. Nice strategy there.
Mijumaru then used it's Shell Blade on Yanappu once more, and it was a direct hit this time! Unfortunately, that single Shell Blade wasn't enough to end the tedious battle, though Dento seemed quite impressed with Mijumaru and Ash then. Ash orders Mijumaru to use Shell Blade and Dento ordered Yanappu to counter-attack and the battle ended with Mijumaru's Shell Blade dealing enough damage to win that battle. So Ash was the victor somehow, yay! We got some cool Isshu Surfing music as the fangirls were saddened by Dento's loss haha. Iris and Kibago seemed to see Ash and his Pokemon in a new light due to his victory over Dento; that's pretty cool. Dento, Pod, and Corn then presented Ash with the Tri Badge which in all honesty, looks terrible but I'll go with it for now. I liked that Pikachu, Mijumaru, and Pokabu were all present with him as he did his usual victory pose haha. Ash talked to Iris, though Iris seemed to go back to her usual self and all they did was argue. I liked that Mijumaru was sleeping on it's shell though :3
Dento seemed to like Ash and Iris' relationship, so that was nice. His reaction makes up for his sudden inclusion in the team I think. After the battle, we get to see what Team Rocket has been up to. Looks like they did go to the Abandoned Lot of Dreams as most of us had predicted from their conversation with Giovanni earlier. Also, I'd like to formally split this review in half; due to Makomo, Munna, and Musharna playing a role now. Seriously, why the heck was this episode split into two parts like this in the first place? Gah! Anyway, the Abandoned Lot of Dreams in Best Wishes looked very similar to it's in-game location so I'm pleased. The new, serious Team Rocket scoped out the area and then opened up a briefcase and set up some weird machine that has to do with their mission apparently. God, I hate new Team Rocket, since that actually looked pretty cool. Meowth starts up the machine (which looks like something from Star Wars) and then it goes on to do what it was programmed to do and we got epic music playing (Star Wars-esque music).
Team Rocket's machine started to distort the air around the Lot of Dreams and then waves of energy started to pulse through the area as well; freaky stuff there. What was even freakier than Team Rocket's machine was the eye from Hell that appeared in some of that purple fog; though it might have just been Musharna's eye. Well, what's the difference? A Munna back in Sanyou City senses the disturbance in the force, and starts to cry. It was at that point that it's trainer tries to comfort it. I will say this though, Munna looks quite large in the anime haha. Anyway, the scene changed to the Pokemon Center where Ash has his Pokemon healed after that brutal battle they all fought. He meets the Sanyou City Nurse Joy and he confuses her with the Karakusa Town Nurse Joy lol. She then shows him her family portrait and explains that the Kanoko Town and Karakusa Town Joy's are her relatives. Where have I heard this before? Anyway, Dento arrived and requested adatetalk with Ash. Dento compliments Ash's battle and then asks for tips? Interesting.
Nurse Joy then called Ash to pick up his Pokemon and he notices that a Tabunne is the Isshu region's substitute for Chansey. Suddenly, Iris arrived with her injured Kibago that apparently, wouldn't wake up. Iris tells them about the pink light (pinku no hikari) and Ash repeated it and for a minute, I thought Dawn was suddenly going to appear haha. Anyway, Makomo appears then with her Munna to investigate Kibago. Her Munna then "ate" Kibago's dreams apparently, maybe through Dream Eater? I don't know. Munna then projected Kibago's dreams for everyone to see which was neat. I think it was in the Dream World (we also got cool Giant Hole music in there). Anyway, Kibago woke up, but we saw that it desired to evolve into an Onondo and then an Ononokusu which was neat, sort of. I guess the writers will use this as a plot device later. Makomo then formally introduced herself to Ash and Co. I'm actually pretty surprised that Dento didn't try to flirt with Makomo though; it would've been a pleasant homage to dear old Brock in my opinion :<
Ash, Iris, Dento, and Makomo then went outside and saw some of that pink light stuff. There also seemed to be pink dust in the air which was slightly pretty once you got over the seriousness of the situation. Makomo speculates that it is Musharna's doing and then Ash searches for the Pokemon in his PokeDex. The Devil itself appears in his PokeDex, or maybe it was just a Musharna? I sure cannot tell the difference. The Isshu region's Officer Jenny arrived and advised Ash to return his Pikachu to it's Pokeball, but since Pikachu doesn't have a Pokeball apparently, Ash was sort of stuck. Thankfully, Makomo placed Ash's hat on it's head, to protect Pikachu. Don't believe me? Look here. After that cute little moment, Ash and friends get taken to the Lot of Dreams by Officer Jenny and along the way, Makomo tells them about the Loft of Dreams and how she was once a professor who studied Musharna's Dream Smoke before the lab was taken over by some guys in suits, and Musharna got mad and destroyed the lab. What I found ironic was that Musharna's explosion was stronger than the one Mewtwo created when it destroyed Giovanni's base haha.
Ash and friends finally arrived at the Lot of Dreams in time to see Team Rocket using their sinister machine to disturb Musharna. Team Rocket didn't seem scared for long, as they seemed totally at easye even when cornered by the police, a Gym Leader, and Ash. They then did their Isshu motto and I realized that Jessie had a white theme, James had a black theme, and Meowth had a gray theme during the performance. A coincidence? Anyway, I still think their seriousness will bite them in the butt later on, but whatever. That annoying pink fog starts to surround the area and Team Rocket seemed to take pride in the fact that they were disturbing Musharna since it was apparently their target all along. Makomo and Munna start calling for Musharna, and then the others do too. Then an odd sort of light appeared in the middle of the Lot of Dreams that looked strangely like a portal to Hell, I mean Musharna's realm. Just as Makomo was going to Musharna, Team Rocket's machine stops Makomo in her tracks and proceeds to capture Musharna with a rope of green light? It's interesting how Team Rocket is always prepared for this sort of thing.
Ash then decided to take action and had his Pikachu use Volt Tackle against that machine; about time son. Makomo also helped with Munna's Psychic-type attack and together, Pikachu and Munna destroyed the machine before it could cause too much damage. With the machine broken at last, the pink fog stuff disappeared, meaning that Musharna was free at last. Team Rocket was then cornered, but Jessie took matters into her own hands and had her Koromori use an attack that created wind, thus allowing them to escape. Damn. Well Makomo and her Munna were reunited at last, and it felt so good. Dento then spoke of harmony, and I think he'll be poetic from now on as well, great. Near the end of the episode, Team Rocket reports to Giovanni once more and after that, we get Dento's parting scene where he leaves Corn and Pod. Corn even makes a pun on "Best Wishes", which was cool to hear. Ash and Dento then set out for Shippou City, but Iris started tagging along, and it felt so much like Kanto again. Aww. Well this episode wasn't all that good, since it was random and made up of two parts. It gets an 8/10, which is still good but not great. Until next time, stay faaaabulous~
Also, C_L, you can't beat my super long posts! Haha

You did this on purpose didn't you? Well, guess what bub, this don't count because it's an episode summary. And usually, narrating what you think happens doesn't necessarily count. However...
You did point out some amusing things that I don't think I caught (including specific music used), you also go into detail (opinions though), and maybe it's just me, but... this whole thing felt rushed.
Whenever I make a wall-o-text, I usually prefer to make points and question myself while doing so.
Eh... whatever.
I swear though, Tabunne is just too damn big.
And something I completely forgot to mention in my previous post; the Pokemon Center apparently used the 8-bit jingle to indicate that Ash's Pokemon were fully healed. I had to recheck to see if I was right. Quite amusing actually.
What did Giovanni tell TR about at the end of the episode. Also I cant help but notice the similarity between this episode, and back in OI when Cassidy and Butch used Drowsy wired to a satellite to control every poke'mon in the area.
Muahaha! My vengeance is complete. What felt rushed though? It took me about an hour to type it all up since I had to watch the episode while I was typing (I'm a slow typer), then a few minutes to make the images I linked to, which aren't too well put together, but get the message across. The episode itself was tough to watch, due to the voices not matching the character's mouth flaps in the version I saw as well so it took a bit longer to get used to that. I ask myself questions sometimes too, but they're usually just rhetorical so they're just there to look pretty. As for the music; I tried to be as detailed as possible because the Pokemon anime's BGM is always better than the videogame BGM and you know how I feel about certain music. I tried to add in the locations where that music could be heard in the games, just for the lulz. I did hear that 8-bit jingle in the Pokemn Center though, but it wasn't too important so I ignored it. You know, because I rather talk about how faaaaabulous Dento is
#thuglife #navy #ratchet
The battle... kinda disappointed me but still congratulation 4 winning the first gym battle, Ash & Mijumaru, Pokabu also, u guys have done a great job. Well, overall, 4 me, the ep was ok, nothing really special about it but it was decent anyway. Dento mentioned he has a goal, what is it again?
If you think the Sinnoh saga has been the best saga of the whole show, copy and paste this into your signature! (started by FlameRose)
If you want TORTERRA to make the best ever comeback in Isshu, copy this and paste it in your Sig!(Started by dragonpsychicrules)
The end of Mijumaru's battle was great, although I still think it could have been wrapped up in the previous episode.
Kibago's dream was pretty interesting, but I doubt it will evolve at all.
TR was boring yet again...
I also didn't care too much for the Munna and Musharna segment of the episode.
It was OK overall.
Amazing episode. Awesome animation, plot and character interactions!
Munna and Musharna were the cutest things. I mean, just look at them! So chubby!!! >D
The end of the battle... Dento... Iris! "WE'RE NOT TOGETHER", and departs to God knows where! I know it'll not last, but I just love how she keeps on appearing from nowhere and surprising Ash! Nice bits.
Makomo! She was also amazing. So tender and close to her pokémon, very dreamy and calming... I really hope she makes a return. Maybe with Araragi? Also, she says she moved from Sanyou after the incident, which I find strange since she lives there in the games. By the way, I LOVED the background story with the "Abandoned" Lot of Dreams... They were studying ways of using peoples's and pokémon's dreams for something good, but then the mean guys came and Musharna started absorbing the bad energy, which made it go nuts and 'destroy' everything.
And... TEAM ROCKET! Best motto animation EVER! Also, THAT song! It's freaking amazing, gives you this very anime'd-villain feel you've been crawling for! It's also interesting how J/J/M can now do it right! Their mission was accomplished; Giovanni tells them, at the end, how they managed to get all energy necessary and how he'd get other people to study and modify it -- not needing anything from J/J/M at this anymore.
AND Dento goes with Ash! Well, he's the reason this post sounds so gay, LOL. I mean, fabulous. Also, he's the one who says Iris should travel with them, too, so it's not like he wants Ash all to himself. People are wrongZ about him, obviouzly! >)
So, yeah, "let's all travel together", says Ash. Iris: "You didn't ask ME if I want to!". Rebel gurl, rebel gurl, you're the queen of my world! HAHAHA, alright, maybe not that much, but she's still gorgeous!
And what's Iris dream?
"It's a secret!"

So they actually accomplished their mission. I thought, they failed after Pikachu destroyed their machine.It's also interesting how J/J/M can now do it right!

Sounds like even Dento wants Ash and Iris together.

- MM - Black 2 - 140 eggs
- Hatching - SS - 5 eggs (SR - Sapphire - 6 SR's)
Just watched bw006 subbed thanks to Anime Fushigi that someone posted 2 weeks ago. Now the episode looks much differently.
Dent thought he had Ash figured out, and then his Sommelier skills failed him as he didn't truly estimate the bond between Mijumaru and Ash. Then Dent was in awe of Ash after seeing such a battle, the connection between him and his Pokemon.
Iris' picking on Ash hasn't slowed down. She was telling him after the battle that he picked the wrong types and fought 3 gym leaders when he didn't have to. She ran off right after he asked her to fight at a later time. I still think she going to have a really big connection to the Souryuu gym.
TR heads to the abandoned lot, and begins collecting leftover dream energy. Dent harasses Ash to explain how he's able to get such a deep connection with his Pokemon, but Ash can't explain. Which leads to Iris running into the Pokemon center with Kibago asleep. Man, Kibago really wanted to evolve. They all run outside to see what's going on, and run into Jenny and Makomo.
Now, I finally see why Pikachu had Ash's hat on. The alert in the city is telling everyone to put their Pokemon in Pokeballs, and Ash says Pikachu hates going in one, so Makomo takes Ash's hat and puts it on Pikachu to protect it from the dream energy.
Musharna returns, and the explosion that happened at the facility should've done a lot more than just destroy the buildings. Why were the people not hurt? Makomo is happy, blah blah, TR escapes.
Dent tells his brothers that he's leaving with Ash, realizing he can't become a better Sommelier just by staying at the gym, and expects to learn a lot by following Ash. Iris drops in, tells them she doesn't have a dream, and they run off.
Alright I'm watching the sub version now.
The battle counties and Mijumaru blocks Solar Beam with it's shell. Dento has never seen a Mijumaru use it's Shell before and it impressed with it. Dento has Yanappu push the Shell away. Dento says he's disappointed with Ash. Dento says he can see Ash's battling pattern can counter it easily and all that. Dento sees his Yanappu as the better Pokemon out of the two, Dento also uses "he" when referring to Yanappu so I guess that means it's male. Dento goes on about how Ash using a Water type against a Grass type is odd. Ash responds with a smile saying types don't matter in a battle(That's true in the anime). The battling continues and then they go in for the final hit, for anyone wondering what attack Yanappu used it was Bite(I was wondering myself since it looked more like a punching move the way Yanappu had it's fist all tighten up and such). Mijumaru wins.
Ash askes what Iris thought of the battle. Iris says a lot of stuff and is making it seem like she wasn't impressed with Ash's battling skills. Ash wants to battle her, but she declines. Dento thought Ash and Iris were traveling together but Iris says they're not and walks off.
Jessie, James, and Meowth are starting their mission, nothing really was said other then "Let's start our missions, any data will be sent to headquarters" no new info.
Ash mistook the Joy in the town for the one he saw before. He suspected they would look a like, probably because of the same thing happening for in Kanto and that. Joy says it's rare to have a Pikachu(We'll probably hear this every episode lol). Dento comes in and says he wants to talk to Ash.
Dento wants to ask Ash questions about his battling skills and such. Dento askes the questions but Ash doesn't know how to answer them. Joy calls Ash from the intercom saying his Pokemon are healed. He and Dento go and Ash sees Tabunne and looks it up. Iris comes running in. Iris explains that Kibago feel asleep because of some Pink light outside. Makomo comes in with Munna, Ash looks it up. Munna wakes Kibago up and shows it's dream of evolving(The subs kind of die down the hype of Kibago wanting to evolve, it was just a dream and it might not evolve after all(Of course I'm not saying it wont evolving, just saying that there really isn't anything saying Kibago wants to evolve)). Makomo introduces herself.
They are outside looking at the pink light, Makomo says it's Musharna's Dream Smoke that's causing it. Ash looks up Musharna. Makomo says both Munna and Musharna have the ability to reflect dreams through their perspective dream smoke. Jenny(I think it's Jenny) pulls up in her car and tells Ash to put Pikachu in it's Pokeball because of the pink smoke putting Pokemon to sleep. Ash says that Pikachu doesn't like going in it's Pokeball, Iris and Dento are surprise to hear that. Makomo puts Ash's hat on Pikachu and it wont fall asleep(In anime anything goes). Dento askes if Munna would be alright, Makomo says it'll be fine because it attracts the light. Makomo says this is all happening at the Dream Site. Makomo explains what happened. Basically, Musharna was very useful and people wanted it, because of that it unleashed the energy it held and it destroyed the Dream Site. Makomo was a shame at what happened.
Jessie, James, and Meowth are taking in the energy. Then Ash and everyone shows up. Makomo figures out why they're there. Iris(I think), askes who they are, they reveal themselves(Now I know it's not knew for Ash and the gang to know it's Team Rocket right away but they are wearing the same disguise as always...at less before it made a little more sense but now...Ash and that seems to have a drop in IQ or something. Oh well, I like their outfit so Ash can stay a little more dumb for the sake of nice outfits). They do their motto.
Jenny seems to know about Team Rocket. She wonders why a Kanto organization is in Isshu. Jessie, James, and Meowth say they are planning to take over Isshu(I laughed at this. Trying to wrap my head around why they said they are there, and I wonder if Jenny is going to even do anything about it or forget all about it. I would say the writers could have them just say it's none of their business but oh well). Makomo doesn't like how she was involved in the whole Musharna thing. Dento then mentions that Makomo said that Munna and Musharna share a connection. Then things get all pink. Makomo says it's Musharna, Meowth says they can go after the Pokemon and they will get even more energy. Everyone is calling out Musharna's name and it appears. Makomo goes to Mushara but is shot at by Team Rocket's machine.
Jessie, James, and Meowth catch Musharna but Makomo and Ash work together and destroy the machine. Jessie sends out Koromori and it uses Whirlwind(I think) and they are gone. Makomo says sorry to Musharna for what happened and says they will stay together from now on. Makomo thanks Ash. Dento enjoys the bond Makomo and Mushara have. Jenny says the case has been solved.
Jessie, James, and Meowth are talking to Giovanni on the computer. Giovanni says their mission is complete. The data they got was received and a team is working on it. Giovanni tells them to wait for their next mission.
Dento is with his brothers and says he's going to travel with Ash, he thinks he can be a better Pokemon Sommelier but traveling with Ash. His brothers accept his decision and wish him luck.
Ash and Dento are walking and Dento says he's going to travel with Ash. Ash is accepting about it. Dento says they should go to Shippo City for Ash's next Gym battle, Ash agrees. Dento askes where Iris is, Ash doesn't know then she pops up from behind and askes if she scared them, Ash said she did. Dento says they should all travel together. Ash thinks it's a great idea and says they should achieve their dreams, Ash wanting to be a Pokemon Master, Dento wanting to be the number one Pokemon Sommelier, Ash askes what Iris' dream is, she says she doesn't have one and runs off, the two others follow.
Narrator says Ash now travels along side Dento and Iris and their journey together begins now.
Episode done.
"To send a Water type against my Grass type. You surely have strange tastes."
"Battle types don't matter in a Pokemon battle."
And thus, Satoshi has completely destroyed any remaining sense of logic in the show
Okay guys, I know I've been lax about this since BW started, but please don't discuss subtitled episodes. Yes, everyone knows they're floating around out there, and none of you have actually linked to them(as far as I've seen), but they're still against the rules here. Omit the "HEY GUYS I TOTALLY WATCHED THIS WITH SUBTITLES" you guys seem compelled to put at the front of your posts and you'll be fine.
It was lame how Yanappu's Solarbeam didn't break through Mijumaru's shell. Dent & his Yanappu should've won the battle. But still Ash & Mijumaru have the plot on their side, of course they get the win. Munna & Musharna are just Drowzee & Hypno wannabe. The 5th Gen PKMN are simply wack.
Yeah, come to think about it, Solar Beam is still one of the most powerful grass poke'mon moves in the entire franchise. It should've had enough force that Miju drop its shell after rebounding it. Either that was a weak solar beam, or a real strong Mijumaru.It was lame how Yanappu's Solarbeam didn't break through Mijumaru's shell. Dent & his Yanappu should've won the battle. But still Ash & Mijumaru have the plot on their side, of course they get the win. Munna & Musharna are just Drowzee & Hypno wannabe. The 5th Gen PKMN are simply wack.
I'd love to know what that shell is made of, it could be the new kevlar.
The battle quarter of the show was great. I didn't expect it to take up so much of this week's episode but I'm glad it did. Tasting Time was random though.
New Joy introduction as well as the soul-sucking Tabuune. The eyes...they want your SOUL...
Kibago wants to evolve. Great. I'd love to see it turning around as an onondo and smacking someone with it's tusks.
ButchJenny is here too. Her skirt/shorts/skort? is so short. Kinda looks like Dawn's aunt.
Backstory time, yay! Resesarch facility on munsharna's Dream Smoke. Bad people come and Munsharna uses explosion. Right...
Team Rocket are becoming a bore. We got a stylish new intro with Black White and Grey. Coincidence? I hope not.
Munsharna appears and looks like c*** ball. Munsharna are better off blind. Team Rocket's plan is foiled and they kick up a little dust and run away with their tails between their legs. Stop being cowards and fight. And have a blast off once a while. Mijumaru, Iris and Dent can't provide all the comedy.
The battle was well-done but the rest of the ep felt rushed and TR are getting worse and worse.
I'm really enjoying Best Wishes. It's rekindled my love of Pokemon! I also like how Iris doesn't really have a big thing to accomplish, I like it even more that it's not contests. It kinda feels like Kanto again to me. And I love Mijumaru so much! So cute!
I personally really like the change for Team Rocket. They were a joke in DP, it was just sad. Now there's serious about what they're doing and not wearing ridiculous outfits and trying to get Satoshi to enter a three ring circus so they can steal Pikachu,
It's weird after 4 series not seeing a Chansey hanging around Joy at the Pokemon Center, & we get to see the redesigned Jenny who also looks good with a shorter haircut & a yellow uniform. Also liked Kibago's dream very cute that is was dreaming of evolving, you really never got that sort of thing in the older series.
I think this episode should've been split up into three separate episodes, they should've ended Ashes gym battle last episode, then had this episode devoted to Dent joining up with Ash & Iris, & then focus on the Site of Dreams next episode. It feels like the Site of Dreams plot just got written in to just pad the episode, the whole ending just felt anti-climatic for what they were building up to.
Anyway grats to Ash for winning his first Isshu Gym Battle & receiving his first Isshu Badge.

I was assuming it was the Jetta but like I said, I was at a work function for several hours and it could've been anyone that did it. Odds are the Jetta wouldn't have stayed parked there if they were the culprits.

Parked near my work, I left my car there while I carpooled for a work function. ALLLLL the way in the back corner of the lot well away from harms way, I received this:
It appears as though someone actually ran into it slightly as there is paint transfer and a door wouldn't have created a dent like that. No paint was damaged that I can tell on mine so it looks like a PDR and some buffing will repair the issue.
As I've never dealt with PDR, what price am I looking at assuming I pay to get it done? I guess it would qualify for an uninsured motorist since it was technically a hit and run. There was a jetta parked next to my car with the same color paint but I did not pursue trying to identify the driver as it was a crowded bowling alley full of drunks and odds of me having a civilized conversation were slim to none.
Any advice would be great. It is located on the front fender right above the wheel.

I'm looking to get two dime-sized dents PDR'd on my new '13 as well, no where near as dented as yours but still equally as painful to me as I'm sure it is to you. I've heard some places can do around $100 dollars per dent, maybe more depending on the size, wouldn't know for sure until you get an estimate. I was thinking about maybe going through my insurance to see if it would be worth paying the 500 deductible if it ends up costing more (which I can't imagine it being) but I'd also be looking to get a fairly deep scratch taken care of as well, so I'm not sure what the best route would be.
I'm slowly starting to realize, as many people already have, that no matter what the car will never be perfect and pristine for long. Especially if it's a daily driver, like mine is. I actually was driving home on the highway just last night and heard a rock hit my car somewhere on the right side. Like I suspected I found a nice rock chip on the A-pillar this morning. Point being, I'll end up fixing a scratch or dent and a week or month later another one will find its way onto the car. I might go ahead and get these few things taken care of since I did just get the car and the hell with it after. Only thing I'd like to do is keep it clean and rust-free. Aside from that, its not worth the headache of stressing constantly about keeping it car-show clean forever.
I hear that man. It's tough to swallow but I do just have to realize it won't stay perfect forever. Just the fact that I do EVERYTHING imaginable to avoid this situation from occurring makes it more gut wrenching. I have a $1000 deductible because I'm an idiot. This though, should be classified as an uninsured motorist since it was a hit and run and would knock down the deductible to $250. I have to do more research but since I know a lot of guys that run body shops in the area, I wouldn't think I'd be spending more then $75-100 to get it knocked out. It's in a good spot to do it myself but I would rather a professional do it.

As with any bodywork it all depends on how much experience the person has and how bad the damage is. I too also wonder how well they can actually color match for actual painting and such. A buddy of mine who does bodywork for a living said that even within one color scheme (such as WRB like myself) there can be a number of different variants or "shades" as I would like to imagine myself for simplicity. I imagine though with an experienced person they can probably get it close to original/perfect if not exactly the same.
In terms of PDR, I would recommend going to a reputable guy who has years of experience and specializes in just PDR.
Yeah I think this body shop near my work is known for doing a good job with PDR. I have to check on it though. I know they will give me a great deal since we do so much work with them. I'll update on Monday when I go in.

The GF just got her car back on Thursday after 3 or 4 weeks of repair time. Here's to hoping my dent is a easy fix.

Every time I wash my car I find something new...I live in alaska, Pot holes, rock, and salt galore...they litterally put gravel on the ground to increase traction. I've got a cracked windshield that I will not pay to replace till I leave here. If I were the first owned I would have gotten the clear coat wrap put on. I'll just repaint my baby after it's payed off. Probobly go OBP instead of DGM just for the sake of difference.
I'm sorry your baby got hit so soon, and so brutally at that. Good luck.
I've had PDR done on my car, the paint was chipped so I didn't expect a 100% job. It turned out okay, not too great. Lots of chipping around the paint from the original paint damage and pressure of popping the dent out. Most PDR shops charge by the circumference/length of dent/crease itself. Just by doing some light searching the average crease dent is:
Up to 1" $99-$129
Up to 2" $130-$159
Up to 3" $160-$199
Up to 4" $200-$325
My quarter-size dent was around $40-50 + tax. I ended up getting the dent repaired through body work after my car was broken into since my insurance covered it. Good luck with the repair!

New technology released by Long Island Exchange helps consumers find used cars in and around Long Island; protege under development to go national in coming weeks.
Long Island, NY (PRWEB) December 31, 2012
Long Island Exchange, Inc. (http://www.longislandexchange.com) a digital news and information portal specifically for Long Island New York has announced the release of a consumer friendly search service which will revolutionize automotive searching on Long Island. Residents looking to buy a used vehicle by visiting liusedcars.com, a URL acquired as part of the roll out to help brand and build traffic for the portal, will find a selection unique to Long Island, with search services providing full dealership inventory within the area codes of [516] (Nassau County), [631] (Suffolk County) [917] (Brooklyn County) and [718] (Queens County).
Chief Executive Officer Brian Keegan says, "Local residents don't have time to search twenty different automotive sites when looking for new or used cars. Time is money, and this is especially true in today's economy. By using http://www.liusedcars.com consumers get quick, simple access to local used car dealer inventory without having to check multiple sites. Most used car and truck sites target users nationally; presenting vehicles from across the nation. No other region in the United States offers a specific portal for searching used cars in a local market with sophisticated technology as advanced at this new and exciting service."
"Over the past month or so while we have been beta testing this new technology, the automotive section has become the fastest-growing service we've seen in the 10+ years we have spent running longislandexchange.com. I am pleased to also reveal to you today that our team is currently developing a national protege that will piggy back on this technology which we expect to be released very shortly, possibly in the next few weeks," said John Colascione, Founder and Managing Partner of Long Island Exchange Inc.

August 29, 2011 - The Frances Marlin Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership has contributed substantially to teaching and learning across our campus since it was established three years ago. During this period, the Brock School of Business has been an excellent steward in housing the center and supporting its development.
The Mann Center is well-established and actively engaged with all eight of our academic schools. With the beginning of the fall semester, the Center will be incorporated into the operations of the Office of the Provost where it will be optimally positioned to serve the whole campus. We have conferred with Marvin Mann, the Samford alumnus and generous donor who made the center possible, and he enthusiastically supports this new positioning for the center, which honors his late wife.
I encourage all faculty and staff to view the Mann Center as an available resource and platform for innovation and collaboration. Dr. John Knapp, university professor and the center's director, is always eager to hear from you about your interests. The website at www.samford.edu/manncenter provides a good overview of the center's mission and its many current and past activities.
In the days ahead, you will hear more as Dr. Knapp works with academic representatives across the university and the university's office of marketing and communication to focus and communicate strategically the scope of the Mann Center. As we begin the new academic year, I wanted you to be aware of this new development in Academic Affairs.

Two Questions and another question?
Posted 13 March 2012 - 05:32 PM
Thanks for the info Geoff the valves worked great many thanks
Questions: 1
Im going to buy a few reeds to play with tune /starting speed etc but reading through the forum Im a little confused
Are the reeds tuned on the tuning bellows then fitted as done? Or fine tuned on the instrument?
Question: 2
What are the reeds made from (spring steel?) and would Stainless Spring Steel be a good non rusting option?
Are the reeds in my Wheatstone McCann duets the same reeds used in the Anglo/English Wheatstone Concertinas?
Were the reeds made in quantity then allocated to an instrument or handmade for each instrument Im assuming they were all pressed out but were they final fitted for individual instruments?
Posted 14 March 2012 - 10:16 AM
Step 1: make a diagram of the key layout, and take a meter reading for all the reeds while they are still in the instrument. Make a note of each reading against the relevant note on your diagram.
Step 2: remove one reed at a time from the reedpan, and take a reading from the meter. You'll find it helps, particularly with the bigger reeds, to cup a hand over the reed, simulating a chamber. This reading will be different from the reading taken while the reed was in situ. In general, the smaller the reed, the bigger the difference.
Step 3: Now tune the reed taking this difference into account. For example, if the in-situ reading is 50 cents sharp, and the out-of-the-instrument reading, say, 42 cents sharp, then tune the reed to 8 cents sharp - the difference between the two. With a bit of luck, when the reed goes back into the box, the reading will be around zero. However, chances are you'll still have to adjust the tuning by a few cents. Don't agonise too much about getting the reading to a perfect zero - up to 3 cents either way is generally undetectable.
Re question 2, I imagine that stainless steel would be just too hard to file.
And re question 3, a reed is a reed is a reed, no matter what kind of concertina it inhabits.
Good luck with the filing, and remember, proceed gently, take meter readings frequently. Go at it too vigorously, and you'll end up see-sawing - too sharp, too flat, too sharp etc. When the reed tip curls up like a sliver of Bacofoil, you'll know you've done this too often!
Posted 14 March 2012 - 11:14 AM
I would think you'd want to aim for 8 cents flat. If it's 50 cents sharp in situ, then you want to drop the pitch by 50 cents from wherever you're starting in the rig. If it's 42 cents sharp in the rig, go down 50 to minus 8.For example, if the in-situ reading is 50 cents sharp, and the out-of-the-instrument reading, say, 42 cents sharp, then tune the reed to 8 cents sharp - the difference between the two.
I don't know that that's true. I'm no expert here, but it was my understanding that similarly pitched reeds in EC's and anglos by the same manufacturer are different lengths and stiffness. I have no idea how duets fit into the equation.And re question 3, a reed is a reed is a reed, no matter what kind of concertina it inhabits.
Posted 14 March 2012 - 12:37 PM
It takes quite a few strokes to bring a reed from A452 to A440 (roughly 1 stroke per cent for the average size brass reed). My thought is that while this is more time consuming that using a more aggressive file, it's probably a good thing for less experienced folks like me.
Tony, IF it's in your budget, you might want to consider picking up a cheaper Lachenal (of any type) to perfect your skills on. I bought a "thrashed" 48k english for $160 and it was a very useful excercise getting it playing and tuned.
AP Tuner seems to work very well on my PC as a tuning meter - and its a free download.
Posted 14 March 2012 - 02:32 PM
I had a little drama as on closer inspection (powerful magnifying glass) the pull G reed on my ebony ended Wheatstone was not correctly aligned at the clamped end and was buzzing and obviously no amount of movement at the tip would cure it so AHHHHHHHHHH
I removed the screws repositioned and no buzzing equidistant fit all round compared the tuning it was just a little off so I used the push G and my tuner as a guide and carefully retuned I have some fine fret dress files and they worked a treat and an old feller gauge as a support and it sounds great
I made a sort of test tuning bellows last week a friend does book binding so he gave me the card and leather etc and it works surprisingly well I had already started making a flexible brass clamp but the temporary rubber bands seemed to work fine
The one thing I dont understand is why the reed is a different pitch outside the concertina is it the volume of air in the sealed chamber?
Is my concertina full of helium? LOL
Posted 14 March 2012 - 04:46 PM
I have been researching spring steel there are references to
Great set of reeds ETC
I contacted a friend that has a sheet metal fabricators (hoping to get a bit of off time on the wonderful CNC machine LOL ) we were chatting about
(Blue spring steel)he stocks its properties etc is this the spring steel actually use in concertina reeds?
I understand guitars opening up with age and playing and improving in tone and response but surely the older the reeds the less responsive ? As they will lose elasticity?
I noticed the two E reeds had both been tuned one was much thinner and it appeared thinner in tone? So is a brand new full thickness reed preferable?
the concertina is such a wonderful instrument and a little engineering marvel I want to learn everything I can about them
PS I was going to mark the notes on the concertina but on closer inspection the thoughtful Mr. Wheatstone has stamped them all for me on the reed frames
Posted 14 March 2012 - 05:23 PM
'Great set of reeds', then, is a combination of what they started out like together with what a century or so of maintenance has done to them.
Posted 15 March 2012 - 03:11 AM
So best the reeds would ever sound is as it left the factory every subsequent tuning would probably diminish the quality of the sound produced
George was a little dismissive about my romantic notion that concertina reeds were special spring steelLOL he has been working with all manner of sheet metal for 40 odd years and he started rattling on about carbon Silicon,content ,yields but when he mentioned "music wire" I paid attention LOL piano strings etc He looked at the back of the reed (Blue Tempered Spring Steel) He said at that thickness cutting strips without distortion would be important ,he said he could use a small brake press to get a close tolerance
Im retiring in a couple of years and I was looking for a project /hobby that incorporates music and engineering in some form as gardening is not an option LOL and the concertina seems absolutely perfect
I want to build myself a little McCann duet concertina I can have non working hours time on his CNC to cut reed frames, hes a little older than me so I want to use the CNC before he sells up and retires LOL and I have a modest stock of Ebony maple rosewood left over from various restorations
so Im trying to find out everything I can about the components that Im not familiar with and how the volume of the reed cavity
Acts upon the reed Etc
I will shut up when Ive gathered all the information LOL
Posted 15 March 2012 - 04:46 AM
I'm not the man for this; even so, when you say :"So best the reeds would ever sound is as it left the factory every subsequent tuning would probably diminish the quality of the sound produced." I don't think it's as simple as that; wood cures, the whole instrument shakes down; sometimes tuners are better at setting up reeds than the original makers (perhaps it was friday.). Once in a while they just get wonderful.
Incidentally Jeffries is supposed to have chopped up clock springs for reeds.

Whoops! I should never post helpful tips when on the shiny side of a bottle of red wine! Of course you're right - I should have said 42 cents sharp in situ, and 50 cents sharp in the jig.
Posted 16 March 2012 - 10:51 AM
http://www.concertin...rtina reeds.htm
(Reed shapes and frequencies
The reed actually chops up the air flow in small air waves. Unlike other reed instruments (e.g. clarinet, sax, etc.) the vibration of a concertina and accordion reed itself hardly produces any sound. In fact, laboratory tests have shown that the sound produced by the reed itself is negligible)
If the sound is created by the airflow as the reeds dont actually produce sound the reed sound chamber and the reeds flexibility would seem to be more important than its composition?
Your reference to Jeffries is really funny as I measured the reed yesterday and it looked rather familiar and georges first comment on inspection was
its an old blue clock spring LOL
If youre interested in building a duet perhaps we could collaborate sharing info plans measurements etc
Posted 16 March 2012 - 02:18 PM
With an ordinary concertina the pitch of a reed is usually 11 cents sharper (on average) on my tuning bellows jig than it is when in the instrument.
I think that the very finnest concertinas have the least amount of tuning differential caused by the Chambers and other structural parts. I like to think of this as 'efficiency'... well in one way it is but... the 'tuning differential' adds a tone colour to the sound. So... no differential= max efficiency but too pure a tone, and too much difference in pitch between inside and outside = decrease in efficiency and too much Box effect on tone colour. All difficult stuff to quantify.
The other point about tuning is that whilst "3 cents either way is generally undetectable" for any single note... this is certainly not the case when playing notes in combination.. as in Chords. I would suggest a tolerance of "plus and Minus 1 cent"
PS: my tuning Jig was made by screwing a sheet of 3mm Plywood to the end of and old "Chinese Lantern" type 20 button Anglo and it has lasted for 37 years ! Cost Zero.

No not at all, sorry.
I have to build the funny old obsolete vehicles I favour because it's the only way I can afford them, but I manage to swing the duets fully formed, thankfully.
Posted 16 March 2012 - 07:45 PM
The little (closures/blocked off inserts) on the pull create a chamber with a specific volume Im assuming to enhance to tone? But on the push is the central hole a combination of all the pull volumes added together?
My heath Robinson tuning rig was also freebie Im helping my friend build an Ebony flat-bed view camera So Im purloining leather card glue Etc as the camera will need bellows and its good practice and if my tuning rig last 37 years I wont be using it for tuning concertinas probably as a shopping basket attached to my Zimmer frame LOL
Posted 17 March 2012 - 03:00 AM
I don't think the Central hole in the reedpan has any specific tone controling use, perhaps it is just there for the convenience of putting your thumb in, so as to lift the Pan out of the bellows.
The Reed Chambers on the Pull side also have their effect on the push side, otherwise the tone would be very different from In to Out. Perhaps the specific tonal adjustment that these chambers allow is just a bi-product of the original design wherein small 'walls' had to be built to allow enough room for the Pull reeds to operate.
You will find that, when tuning or just testing the pitch of each pair of reeds 'outside the box' that the pull reed is tuned slightly differently to that of the push reed,most easily noticed where the pushes and pulls are of the same pitch, ie. not so easy on an Anglo.
On the very early Concertinas these chambers were very simply just dividers which thus 'chambered off' each note pitch. Later in the 19th Century the little cross blocks in the chambers started to appear. These effectively cut down the volume of each chamber which allowed the reed to start that little bit sooner. These 'cross walls' appeared first on the very highest pitched notes , so perhaps they were the slowest to speak if the chamber was too large.
Eventually someone got the idea of making all the chambers smaller by fitting these cross walls... I recall seeing older instruments where someone had 'packed' the chambers with Cork to reduce the chamber volume and I suppose to 'speed up the reed' or increase the pressure in the chamber.
Thus we arrive in the 1890's, or thereabouts, and we find Reedpans with 'cross walls' for every note. This produces a 'brighter' instrument which is perhaps more balanced in tone throughout its range. Then someone had the bright idea of altering the wall heights to try to 'even out' the tone quality and power of each note more completely. Thus was born the 'Canted or Angled Reedpan' (choose your own word... 'wedged' perhaps ?). This type of ReedPan is only really possible on the English Concertina because the notes are evenly and radially spaced around the circumference starting with the highest notes at one point and equally grading down to the lowest notes in both directions around the Pan. This allows the construction of chamber walls to be much deeper for the large reeds and much smaller for the highest notes.
It is also possible, and normal to see this Canted Reedpan on the Duets but, because there are one or two notes that are not in their correct places in respect to those of the EC , there could be the odd note that just sounds a little different in tone.
So... at present I have two EC's that are markedly different in tone and tonal/Volume balance thoughout the range. One has a Canted reedpan and a very even tone thought its range... it is possible to play notes from the highest to the lowest at the same time, as a chord, and hear each note individually. The other EC has the Cross blocked chambers but the wall heights are all the same... this one's tonal qualities and volumes change radically throughout the range... sounds honky like a Clarinet at the low end, great power and clarity in the middle octaves, then at the highest half octave the tone and power drop off dramatically.
The Reedpan Chambers have a marked affect on tone, balance and volume.
The Canted reed pan is not generally used on Anglos because the reeds are not spaced in a graded way around the Reedpan, due to the keyboard laout... and thus the Anglo sounds very different in comparison to the most highly refined EC's.

That was what I thought until I said so in this thread. The next post, though, pointed out that the British Pathé film of the Wheatstone factory (which I did watch, but I didn't notice this bit) showed how it was needed for the routing machine that made the reed slots.

Well yes that is a point jdms,
but in this context the 'hole' is still functioning as a holding device only.

A 13-year-old Canoga Park boy who died of an intravenous heroin overdose given to him by an adult was identified today.
Timothy Matthews was spending the night at a friend's house in Woodland Hills Monday when Brett Cronin, 23, a friend of Matthews' stepbrother, administered the fatal dose, according to a coroner's spokesman and Los Angeles County prosecutors.
On Friday, Cronin pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, furnishing or administering heroin to a minor and child abuse, according to the District Attorney's Office. He faces up to a life in prison, with the possibility of parole.
Matthews, a friend of Cronin's 14-year-old stepbrother, went into a bathroom, where Cronin injected himself and the teenager, prosecutors said.
Cronin is jailed in lieu of $1 million bail, pending an Aug. 22 preliminary hearing.

The Real Secret to French Cooking
March 7, 2010 by Sherea
Filed under Latest News, New & Featured Items
Like so many others I was so inspired by the movie Julia and Julia to start doing some gourmet cooking in my own little kitchen… and then I hit a stumbling block. No it wasn't sticker shock for Julia Child's Mastering The Art of French Cooking (two volume set), nor the daunting task of even lifting the enormous book. It was the meticulous detail and difficulty of the recipes.. let's face it, who has that kind of time?
But what I learned is that the real secret to gourmet cooking is all in the sauce. So here is some basic information on sauces… I'll start with Wine Sauces.
What I found most amazing in my research is that Sauces have been used since the middle ages- who knew! But of course French chef's have upped the bar on sauces almost to the point of high art — just treat yourself to any fine dining at a French restaurant and you will know this is true.
So what goes into making a great sauce? The famous French Chef, Aguste Escoffier, tells us that the chef who wants to create a memorable sauce must first prepare a mirepoix (Wikepedia has a great but lengthy definition) and roast beef or veal bones to begin developing a stock… then one must slowly reduce the stock and add a slowly browned roux to create a deep brown color and rich flavor with a smooth and velvety consistency. This will create a "foundation sauce" from which many other sauces can be made.
Slow being the operative word in the whole process … again I ask, who has this kind of time? Let's face it, this is a time intensive process that I certainly don't have the patience required to complete it. Never fear! More Than Gourmet has taken care of the time intensive work for us and has created both a Red Wine Sauce as well as a White Wine Sauce which reduces what would have taken hours to mere minutes without sacrificing flavor, consistency or eye appeal!
Using classical methods and only the finest ingredients,these sauces are consistently reliable, dependable, affordable and most importantly delicious! They have found a permanent home in my pantry and I know you also will find them so easy to keep on hand that all your meals will be gourmet!
Bon Appetite!

There will be no billboard promoting Scotland Motors on McColl Road — at least for the time being.
The Laurinburg City Council on Tuesday voted 4 to 1 to deny the automobile dealership's request to rezone the property to erect the signage. The billboard was proposed for the intersection of McColl and Barnes Bridges roads, about a mile outside the city limits.
Lee Howell, who owns Scotland Motors, had requested that the 3.4-acre tract be rezoned from general business to industrial to allow the billboard to go up. Billboards are typically allowed in industrial zones by conditional use permits.
A number of people who own homes or property near the site had complained about the request. Two spoke at Tuesday's council meeting.
Bill Bethea told the council that he was opposed to the property being rezoned as industrial. Bethea owns several parcels of land adjacent to the site. He said he was concerned that having the site rezoned would allow Howell to develop the property with any of the uses allowed in the industrial zone. Bethea added that Howell has a number of other properties that would be better suited for a billboard. He also said that there have been a number fatalities at that intersection and a billboard would be another distraction.
"I just feel that we cannot afford the luxury of allowing that property to go commercial and all that implies," Bethea said.
But Councilman Curtis Leak asked if was true that Bethea had sold some of his land near the site for commercial use. Leak was the only council member to oppose denying Howell's request.
Gib McCall, who lives in Scotch Meadows, said he was not opposed to the billboard, but to the new zoning classification for the site. McCall said he represented a group of residents.
"We are not trying to keep him from advertising his business," McCall said. "But we don't think rezoning that to industrial is the right way to go about it."
Council members agreed, and suggested to Howell that he come back with a request for an industrial district zone that would narrowly restrict his use of the site. By law, the city could not amend Tuesday's request without re-advertising and holding another public hearing.
"It is times like these when it can be a challenge to sit on council," Councilman Kenton Spenser said. "We want to be supportive of local business, but we also have a responsibility to the neighbors and to the environment. We have to balance those two needs."
Howell said he would make a new request.
"I will do whatever we need to make this work," he said. "If there is another option, we are open to it."
In other business, council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute a deed to the Scotland County Economic Development Corporation for 10 acres of land at the Laurinburg Maxton Airport.
The county's spec building sits on the land. Officials said an unnamed industrial prospect is considering the site.

The Packers trimmed the roster on Saturday but the maneuvering may not be finished as there were some interesting names on Ted Thompson's list of cuts. Most notably, Will Blackmon, the Pack's primary return man on special teams last year. Coming back from knee surgery, Blackmon never could shake the soreness. He would try it one day and sit out the next couple. Green Bay couldn't count on that so he was placed on season ending injured reserve but the plan is to reach a financial injury settlement with him soon. Considering Jason Chery was also cut, the Packers are likely in the market for a punt and kick off returner unless they expose Jordy Nelson, Brandon Jackson or Tramon Williams in that role early on this season. The only other mildly surprising cut was Spencer Havner, a fan favorite and two way performer who caught 4 touchdown passes last year as a tight end, intercepted a pass as a linebacker this pre-season and was a part of nearly every special teams unit. Havner was let go in favor of free agent Tom Crabtree, giving the Packers 4 tight ends on the roster. The rest of the cuts were pretty cut and dried, although on the offensive line, another undrafted free agent survived Nick McDonald essentially replaced Evan Dietrich-Smith from last year's team. McDonald, a hard worker from Grand Valley State, will be inactive most weeks and might even be replaced on the roster by Monday if the team signs a waived player from another team to handle kick returns for instance. The linebackers cut loose to allow Frank Zombo to stick included Alex Joseph, Cyril Obiozor, Robert Francois and Mauarice Simpkins. At least one will return on the practice squad. Two defensive linemen on the team last year, won't be on it this year as Anthony Toribio and Jarius Wynn were released in favor of 7th round pick C.J. Wilscon and yes, Justin Harrell, who survived. Running back Kregg Lumpkin's release leaves the Packers with two running backs and for the second year in a row, three fullbacks. Tim Masthay deservedly won the punting job over Chris Byran.
Around the rest of the NFL, some interesting names hit the wire, Matt Leinert in Arizona, Michael Clayton in Tampa. Former Packers are also looking for work. Despite a late camp signing, Javon Walker didn't make the cut in Minnesota. Tight end David Martin was released by Miami, running back Samkon Gado was cut by Tennessee, Shaun Bodiford and Joe Porter didn't make it in Oakland, Cincinnati cut Abdul Hodge and Ruvell Martin was released by Seattle.
