Sarcasm, laughs and mission are three words that accurately describe the staff at Echota Pet Advocacy and Rescue Group.
These animal aficionados have a deep-rooted desire to save animals, and find homes for homeless man's best friend.
In the front of the rescue, clients are greeted by kennel staff members Brianna Peardon and Katherine Frojen, and office manager Debbie Aldridge.
The sounds from the back make their way to the front as barking and meowing friends voice their opinions of the day.
The idea for this non-profit organization began when Dr. Keri Hogan, of Calhoun Pet Care, and Aldridge saw a need for a no-kill refuge for abandoned animals in Gordon County.
That mission began in 2005. Seven years later, many dogs and cats have been saved, and the two hope to continue to save more lives for years to come.
"We take in strays; we rescue dogs from the shelter," said Frojen. "We have a couple of dogs that have been here almost five years. It's unfortunate that this is the only life they know."
Whether the animals are adopted in a few days or remain at the rescue for years, it doesn't matter to the staff.
"We are a no-kill facility," explained Frojen. "Our space is limited; it all depends on if we can accept the pet or not. Health issues and aggression and some breeds, like pit bulls, we are not allowed to have."
However, in some cases, the rescue will assist sick animals, anyway.
"Even with some health issues, sometimes we can expect them," said Peardon. "We obviously can't spend thousands of dollars, but in some cases, we can help them."
The rescue has received many donations to help with the animals; some have even donated food for the dogs and cats.
"We have received a bunch of donations for food that we could not use," said Frojen. "We have our animals on a specific diet; we prefer it to be fairly high quality food because we believe input equals output."
Frojen actually takes the unused food to the Gordon County Animal Shelter, where Echota Pet Rescue sometimes adopts animals to bring back to the rescue.
"We help each other out a lot," said Frojen.
Life of a volunteer
While the thought of playing with dogs and cats all day may seem like the ideal lifestyle for any pet lover, reality is not that perfect.
The staff at the rescue has to deal with hyperactive puppies, cats who scratch and dogs that bite out of fear, and that's just the beginning.
Peardon, standing tall, hair pulled back and in comfortable clothing, holds up a leash that she calls her own idea of an accessory.
"We wear these (leashes) all the time," said Peardon.
Frojen laughed, "We consider everything a runway."
Part of being on the "runway" consists of tending to each and every need that a dog or cat may have.
"It's doing what they need; we walk and feed them," said Frojen. "It's not just playing with puppies."
Peardon agreed.
"It's more labor than people think; it's more than picking up poop in the yard," she said. "We clean up a lot of pee."
Paws for a cause
The abundance of homeless animals in the area is outstanding. Whether the animal is a stray, abandoned or sick, the only way to help alleviate the homeless number is to get animals fixed.
"Spay and neuter, spay and neuter and spay and neuter," begged Frojen. "Don't go to a pet store and buy an animal; any shelter animal is 1000 times better than any animal you get from a store."
Shelter animals have needs that pet store animals usually have met on a daily basis.
"Animals at the pet store they don't know love, they are not treated that way," said Frojen. "I treat all these animals like they're my own."
Aldridge said that while they started the rescue for the obvious reasons, she wants to stress the importance of spaying and neutering, too.
"We are very pro spay and neuter," she said. "Please, please spay and neuter."
She went on to explain that not only are people who adopt an animal helping them, but they are getting a quality pet and life companion.
"All dogs and cats are spayed and neutered before they go home," she explained. "The animals are heartworm negative for dogs and negative for feline leukemia and FIV for cats."
All animals have also had their vaccinations. However, depending on when the pet is adopted, some of its vaccines may not have been administered, but Echota Pet Rescue will take care of any needs.
Adoption fees and programs
In order to adopt an animal from Echota, there is a flat fee of $125 for a cat or a dog.
"They are up-to-date on their flea meds, heartworm treatments, and they've gotten all their shots," explained Frojen. "Adopt a pet."
According to Aldridge, the rescue was the beneficiary of the Calhoun Women's Club Sequoyah Ball. They are still using proceeds raised from the event to help the animals and the community.
"We have used some of that money to start up a low cost spay and neuter program for limited income folks," Aldridge said.
The Secretary of Echota Pet Rescue Jeri Couch said that they started this program to help the community out and to save lives.
"We hear a lot of complaining about the price of spaying and neutering," said Couch. "We have put out about probably 250 applications, I've done 43. I would love to do hundreds."
Couch said that the cost for a cat, spay or neuter is $15, and for dogs it is $20 for spay or neuter. If the person cannot prove that the animal has had rabies or not, then there is an additional $5 charge.
"We also accept the Gordon County Animal Shelter certificate," said Couch.
This program is need-based meaning that less income individuals can save a life and take care of the basic necessitates of an animal.
"If any government is coming your way, you qualify, or if your gross annual income is less than $22,000," explained Couch. "All we ask you to prove is your need, and it doesn't even have to be need based if you have the shelter certificate."
She added, "People need to take advantage of this program that is being offered to them."

The purpose of The Psychological Center is to support the teaching and research work of the faculty of the School of Psychology. The primary tasks of the faculty are 1) to teach and train Christian persons as future clinical psychologists and marital and family therapists, 2) to conduct and supervise research on finding more effective ways to alleviate human suffering, and 3) to model the best of contemporary practice of clinical psychology and marital and family therapy.
The Psychological Center provides training for a number of clinical psychology and marriage and family students while offering mental health services to members of the Fuller and greater Pasadena area communities.
The Psychological Center currently is comprised of one major clinic, Fuller Psychological and Family Services (FPFS).
Fuller Psychological and Family Services. This outpatient service provides assistance to individuals, couples, and families, including specific services to children and adolescents. Psychological interventions are offered for adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, stress management, abuse and domestic violence, and physical conditions affected by psychological factors. For young people, FPFS offers psychological testing and treatment for attention deficit disorders, behavior problems, school difficulties, social skills, and parent/child issues.
The marriage and family therapy department offers counseling and educational services designed to help individuals and families resolve a variety of relational, emotional, spiritual, and cultural problems that arise in family life. These include relationship counseling, premarital counseling, marital enrichment and therapy, couples group therapy, divorce counseling, parenting classes, parenting support groups, and family therapy.
The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Mental Health and Optimum Human Function
In considering its purpose and goals for the beginning of the newmillenium, the Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller TheologicalSeminary has set as one of its primary goals to engage in a vigorous andcooperative research project to significantly advance the understanding ofthe relationship of religion and spirituality to mental health and optimumhuman functioning. This project has been labeled "The Fuller Project".
Several factors have motivated the decision to launch this project:
Issues in Religion and Mental Health
A majority of the population of the United States considers itself to be religious in some way, while a large percentage regularly participates in some form of religious worship. While these percentages vary from culture to culture throughout the world, there are few (if any) societies within which religion does not play a significant and formative role.
However, the effects of religion on mental health and optimum psychosocial function have received a disproportionately small amount of attention in psychological research. Compared to the roles of other variables such as parenting, social support, stress, emotional learning, cognitive functioning, and neurobiological systems, which continued to be intensively researched, religion and spirituality have been ignored by much of the research of the past century.
Specific projects to be conducted on these areas of interest are listed in the descriptions for the Research Centers for the Travis Research Institute.
The Travis Research Institute is committed to fostering interdisciplinary research into the relationships between social systems, environmental situations, personality, mental and affective states, cognitive processes, neurobiological functions, and spiritual and religious states and practices. The Institute provides a distinctive context within the Fuller School of Psychology in which interested faculty, research collaborators, and students can engage in regular and ongoing research activities. The Institute fosters collaborative research within the School of Psychology, with faculty from the Schools of Theology and World Mission, and with researchers at other institutions.
The Travis Research Institute is organized into several Research Centers, constituting the major foci of ongoing, large-scale collaborative work within the Institute. Centers involve both empirical and theoretical scholarship. More specific research projects are resignated Research Programs, and are organized either directly within the Travis Research Institute or within the various Research Centers.
Center for Biopsychosocial Research. The Center for Biopsychosocial Research seeks to understand the interactions between neural and biologic systems and the social, psychological, and spiritual/religious functioning of persons. Neurobiological variables will include brain & cognitive function, congenital neuropathology, autonomic/affective responses, neurotransmitter and hormonal milieu, immune activity, and physical health. Current or recent research programs include:
Center for the Study of Stress, Trauma, and Adjustment . The purpose of the Center is to conduct innovative research that will lead to: 1) a better understanding of the variables affecting acute, chronic, and post-traumatic stress; and 2) creative application of this knowledge to the development of better methods of identification and treatment of individuals, families, and communities that have been affected by an environment of chronic stress and trauma. Particularly central to the mission of the Headington Program in International Trauma, a focused program of CSTA, will be post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic stress occurring in ministry and international relief/development settings. Current or recent collaborative research projects include:
The Center for Research in Child and Adolescent Development. The primary purpose of the Center is to further the knowledge of positive development in childhood and adolescence. A specific focus of this research program is the identification of ecological factors that are associated with the promotion of well-being and the prevention of risk among children and youth. Special attention is given to the unique role of community resources in shaping these positive developmental outcomes. Current or recent Research Programs or Projects include:
Clinical Facilities for Field Training: Clinical Psychology
The institutions listed below are those which were directly engaged in recent years in providing clinical experience and training to fourth, fifth and sixth year students. Some of the institutions listed have an ongoing training agreement with the Department of Clinical Psychology so that they accept a fixed number of trainees each year. Others have accepted students for internships in open competition with students from many other universities. This list of institutions changes somewhat from year to year.
The institutions listed below provided clinical training for marital and family therapy students in recent years.

Baltimore's Justin Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime Saturday, ending the NFL's longest game in 26 years and giving the Ravens a 38-35 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC playoffs.
Live update archive | Stats: Ravens | Broncos -- Matchup
The Ravens (12-6) forced overtime on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones with 31 seconds left in regulation, after Jones slipped behind a pair of Broncos defenders along the sideline.
Late in the first overtime, Peyton Manning threw across his body on second down and Corey Graham picked off the ball to give the Ravens the ball on the Denver 45. Two plays later, the first overtime ended and the teams switched directions, and after three Ray Rice runs up the middle, Tucker sailed his game-winner through the uprights with room to spare.
Baltimore will travel to either New England or Houston for the AFC title game next Sunday, as linebacker Ray Lewis' career extends at least one more game.
The last NFL game that went to two overtimes was on Jan. 10, 2004, when Carolina beat the Rams 29-23 in St. Louis on the first play of the second quarter.
Leading 35-28 with 1:15 left in regulation, the Broncos punted to Jones, the Pro Bowl returner who was overshadowed all day by Trindon Holliday. He made a fair catch at the 23 with 1:09 to go.
On third-and-3 from his own 30, Flacco wound up and found Jones down the right sideline for the stunning score. Tony Carter let Jones go and Rahim Moore tried to go up to bat it down, but mis-timed his jump.
The Broncos got the ball at their 20 with 30 seconds left, but Manning took a knee to send the game to OT. Denver also went into overtime in the playoffs last year, when Tim Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard TD on the first play to beat Pittsburgh.

"Spectacular Series"
Love all these collections. Great performances, good selections of stories that aren't basic tenets of high school that will call up bad memories. Very diverse and entertaining. Been listening to them while hiking on low volume so the bears don't get me. They have greatly improved tedious long trails. Also great just sitting in an armchair.
"cracking stories, but no table of contents!"
I am surprised to find there is no table of contents or means of navigation. Surely this should easily be possible?
"Hard Listen"
This is a collection of stories that have no appeal to my tastes. I found them dull and uninteresting. I only made it through 2 1/2 stories before giving up. Wish I could return it.

Good morning CA wip thread .
I was going through my files and came across this painted work that was done before last summer. I dont know that Ive ever posted it so I thought Id put it up before it got deleted to make space for something else.
I call it Elephant Girl and its a depiction of a female warrior with bow riding her trusted beast through the marsh of some fantasy time unknown and long since gone.
My spouse told me that the elephant creature looks somewhat evil .I wont disagree with that. Also sorry for the wash-out effect on the right side. That happens a lot.

Read More
A TV card turns your computer into a TV, and that even if it is a notebook, as there are external cards as well. If you are not going to use your TV card that much you can easily go for a less expensive TV card, but it is often worth choosing one of the well-known brands. If you, on the other hand, are going to use your computer as a movie player and/or recorder you need to give you TV card some consideration.
There are a lot of different types of TV cards on the market, analog, digital, all-in-ones and so on, therefore you first have to decide what type of signal you want to receive, and then find a version that fits your computer. Today some models come in an USB flash drive that contains all you need including software and tuner which of course is very convenient and makes it easy to use with different computers. Could come in handy, for example, if you have a computer but no TV set in your summer house. Just connect the USB flash drive to the computer and an antenna to the USB and start watching!
Make sure that the TV card of your choice has all connections you need, not only to connect it to your monitor - which could be connected via analog or digital sockets, but also the connections needed to connect it to, for example, a sound system, a projector or a TV set. As many new features, connections and software have been released the last couple of years, make sure that your system will work together. Digital connections like HDMI and DVI are almost standards today and there are adapters available between some of the different connection types. Remember that if you connect it to external devices as media centers or DVD burners, cable length could be an issue – so wireless might be an option if possible.
Other nice-to-have features are built-in radio tuner which some TV cards have and Tele-text functions to keep you updated; remote control which is almost necessary to control all channels available today is also an option for some TV cards. If you are going to edit videos you will need editing software.
After deciding which TV cards to choose between, read the tests of interesting models and be sure to check that the motherboard of your choice works together with the TV cards you have chosen.
As a lot of new versions of components, softwares and so on are released over time, log on regularly to the home page of the manufacturer of your TV card to check for upgrades. That will make your computer work smoother and more efficiently in the long run.

its soo funny that all the pokemon fell for Emolga xD
i really liked this ep =3
Draconic pokemon are king !!!
Current White 2 Team:
Spoiler:- awesomeness:
my deviantart featuring a wide array of moemon drawn by yours truly: http://xxd17.deviantart.com/
no, its moves are discharge, volt switch, hidden power and attract
My computer crashed and cost me my bullet point summary of the week(I suppose that's what I get for being lazy and not posting it for several days), so I'll just mention my favorite parts of the episode:
-I like the turnaround from the start of BW. Iris was always the one who was gushing over cute Pokemon waaaaay too much and trying to catch them(only to have them go with someone else), but now she's the one stealing away the cute Pokemon from someone who was gushing over them waaaay too much(Bianca).
-The second half of the episode was just a stream of pissed-off Pokemon. Emolga pisses off the bats. Twice. Then Bianca pisses off a Scoliopede. Then it cuts back to Iris trying to deal with the pissed off bats. Then we cut back to Bianca pissing off a Gavantula.
-Emolga's crayon-shaded fantasies of getting more apples. Cuuuute.
-Emolga's Cabernet-vision version of Bianca and Mincinno(or however the fuck you spell its english name. I'm too lazy to look it up.). I hope the big, purple, scary, exaggerated versions of stuff turns into a recurring thing, because I'm rather amused by it.
-Excadrill being sent out, doing nothing...then being hit by Emolga's attract along with a bunch of Swoobat. Although I was kind of disappointed that Iris recalled it almost immediately after the fact.
-Oshawott seems to have a thing for Emolga(even when not under the influence of attract), and Emolga...is just creeped out by it.
-IRIS IS DOING STUFF. It's a miracle!
Wacky stuff+Iris doing something=a good episode, by my standards.
for anyone who understands Japanese, was Axew chasing after Emolga because he has a crush on her? or was he just being a friendly little kid who wanted to share his apples with his new friend?
when Emolga's attract hit Axew, Pikachu, + Oshawott the first time, Pikachu + Oshawott showed clear signs of being affected (Pikachu's arm-behind-the-head + Oshawott's eyes/hands), but Axew just stood there, blinking, looking like he always does. unless the blinking was his sign of being attracted?
not a big deal, just wondering if anyone who understood the dialogue (especially in the scene about 7-8min into the episode, where Axew wants to chase after Emolga) could explain what Axew's motivation was.
Wow, so this episode was actually kind of good. I was worried that we'd get another episode like that dreadful Gothitelle episode but we got an episode that was funny in most parts. I really didn't like Emolga as much as I thought I would but I thought it was still pretty cute. Anyway, I liked seeing those wild Patrat using teamwork to get those apples from the trees. It showed that wild Pokemon aren't so dumb after all. I also liked that Emolga pretended to be hurt so that it could use Attract on those Patrat. I hate that move with a passion but at least it was used in a smart way. Anyway, it looked like Ash and friends were having lunch in a forest but then I noticed that Bianca was with them. Well, that was a surprise. When it was time for dessert, Iris brought apples but Bianca seemed to want cakes and stuff. I have to admit that cakes do sound better than apples. Oshawott appeared and got an apple, though. How cute! Then Emolga appeared to get the apple that Axew had dropped. Emolga tried to dazzle everyone with its cuteness and then it returned the apple to Axew. Iris was about to offer it more apples when Bianca appeared out of nowhere yelling and then she grabbed Emolga because it was cute. Aww. She let go of Emolga eventually but tried to battle it with Minccino. Just as Minccino was going to corner it with Hyper Voice, that Emolga shocked everyone. It was cute to see Minccino cleaning itself, though. Seeing Emolga and Minccino both using Attract was predictable but I laughed when Minccino's Attract was overpowered by Emolga's Attract. Problem, Minccino? I thought it was cute that Oshawott took the attack, though. Oshawott always makes things funnier. Emolga flew away after that battle and Bianca went after it since she thought it was cute or whatever. And as always, the others had to go along. Emolga was flying through the trees and I had to wonder how it did that. I mean, flying squirrels just sort of glide around but Emolga seemed to actually be flying. Whatever, this anime is crazy. Anyway, Bianca stopped running and that allowed the others to catch up to her. I liked that look on Iris's face right before Bianca ran off. I also liked that Iris took off in the trees and got ahead of Bianca. I really never liked Iris's ability to swing from trees until now. Anyway, Bianca seemed to stop because she was tired but she refused Ash's help and kept running after Emolga. Meanwhile, Iris located Emolga sleeping in a tree after Axew was hit on the head by an apple core. I was surprised that Iris and Axew handed Emolga an apple but that was a nice thing to see. I liked that Emolga was formulating a plan of its own but just then, Bianca appeared again. Wow, she looked funny as she ran towards the tree.
Bianca sent out her Minccino and it battled Emolga, only for it to get shocked again. Poor Minccino. Emolga took off and Iris and Axew chased after it again. I was mad when Axew grabbed Emolga since it couldn't fly well but I was relieved that Iris arrived to save them before anything bad happened to them. A slide down the mountain later, Iris, Axew, and Emolga were in a dark forest and they were surrounded by Swoobat. I gotta admit that I thought Swoobat would look cuter in the anime lol. Anyway, the Swoobat used a sound-based attack but Emolga shocked them. Yay. Emolga led them out of that part of the forest and back at the mountain Bianca used a giant leaf to slide down and find Emolga. God, she never gives up, does she? Iris and the others spotted a pond and they stopped to rest. Emolga used Hidden Power to entertain Axew but then those pesky Swoobat reappeared. Emolga shocked them with Discharge and Iris fled along with the Pokemon. At another end of the forest, Bianca had Pignite attack a bush but the Pokemon inside of it wasn't Emolga, it was Scolipede. FFFFUUU- Anyway, she and the others ran away and then we got to see that Iris and the Pokemon had hidden inside a cave because the Swoobat were still looking for them. Geez, how creepy. Bianca had her Minccino use Hyper Voice on a tree but a Galvantula appeared and shocked everyone. Wow, that gag has gotten old. Back with Iris, the Swoobat used sound to get her and the Pokemon to come out but then they attacked. Luckily, Emolga fought back and then Iris sent out her Excadrill even though it didn't seem to want to battle. Emolga used Atrract once more, but it only worked on half of the Pokemon since some were females. Excadrill's reaction to Attract was interesting to see, though. Emolga kept zapping the Swoobat but they wouldn't die. Luckily, Ash and the others arrived to help out. I loved that Oshawott wanted to fight in order to impress Emolga. I sense a Shipping! Finally, after Pikachu and Emolga's combined efforts, the freaking Swoobat left Iris and the others in peace. Emolga zapped everyone in excitement and then it flew away. Ash and friends returned to the campsite but then Emolga appeared and it flew to Iris. Aw, how cute! It apparently wanted to stay with Iris so she captured it and we got cool Surfing music. The look on Bianca's face was priceless, though. The episode ended with Iris capturing Emolga and I thought that was a good ending. I really liked the episode even though it wasn't the best thing ever. I'm glad that Iris got character development and that she's catching Pokemon that aren't related to dragons as well. I think this episode deserves a 8/10. Stay faaaabulous~
I had mixed feelings over the fact that Team Rocket didn't appear in this episode. I wanted to know if they returned to their goofy side, but didn't get a direct answer, which annoyed me. However, maybe they are still being serious, and not appearing as often, which I kinda like. I couldn't stand them appearing so much as to only be blasting off again, that got annoying in Diamond and Pearl. So perhaps it's good that they didn't appear, as it might mean more badass captures and more escapes.
Ekans has been claimed!
Looked more like it was being friendly.
I don't think Emolga ever used Attract in that situation. It looked like it was just trying to act cute. When a Pokemon is under Attract they get heart eyes, none of them had heart eyes. More over, Pikachu wasn't really affected by it. I don't really know how to explain what it situation was but I'm pretty sure it was attracted to Emolga. Oshawott on the other hand clearly was, although there was no heart eyes the eyes it has is commonly used in anime to show a character expressing their like for something/someone. As for Axew it probably isn't attracted to Emolga and didn't know what it was doing.
I don't under Japanese but in this case I didn't really need it to know what was going on. Axew was just being friendly, Oshawott likes Emolga, and Pikachu is just there being all whatever it's being.
Eternal happiness
blah blah
I have found yet another episode to placed in the "Fantastic List" (Before this, only the Scraggy episode and the Ducklett episodes were in.)
Just when I thought Galvantula was doomed to be a POTD in Scraggy Episode, it comes back again! And while we have completely no evidence, I'm going to assume every Scolipede Ash and Co. offends is that same one, until proven otherwise XD.
I hate to say this, but Oshawott was borderline irritating to me this episode (And I have high threshold for Oshawott's interferences, I found it hilarious in the Castelia Gym Battle.) Oshawott coming out randomly to battle = fine. It falling in love over a bunch of various pokemon, not so much, especially when it gets lots of screentime without it already plus Emolga is in the main team now.
Part of me (Somewhere between 15% to 20%) wants to bash Emolga, it just has that "troll-like" vibe in it.... well not as bad as those Ducklett (They were 90% I WANNA KILL THEM NOW). Emolga vs Ducklett was fun.
The episode should have thrown in...
Bianca: Look, a dust cloud, Emolga must be there.
Cilan: No, Emolga doesn't dig.
Bianca: Go (Insert Pokemon), use (Insert Attack)
(Rare Wild Encounter Music)
Sunglasses Krokorok appeared and wants to battle Pikachu!
Guess time didn't permit. XD.
swoobat used charge beam and round
.................................................. ......................
I am REALLY REALLY HOPING that team rocket NEVER EVER comes back, The episodes are such a breath of fresh air without them and I am not getting annoyed thinking ""they are going to interuppt any second now" loop in my head.
However I feel like will come back since the main isshu region mission is over for now. Sigh. I am enjoying there absence whilst it lasts =D
Exhales: Fu------------------------------
Yes and No; thats why after the gym episode got mega paranoid of their return. Like I know they will come back from seeing that gym episode just HOPING it's only for the short term but I highly doubt it. =(. And I thought since they didn't make a return in episode 27 that they will hardly make an appearance so I was optimistic, but aslas they are coming back from 29. Hopefully not EVERY ep.
This episode was alright. It was cool to see Emonga and Kokoromori for the 1st time. Emonga is so cute! The beginning was interesting, Emonga faked fainting and used attract on the Minezumi so that they would give her their apples. Emonga just love apples... It was hilarious when Emonga used Attract on the Kokoromori and it actually effected Doryuuzu as well. The Round move used by Kokoromori sounded and looked awesome. Belle's reaction when Emonga decided to go with Iris was priceless. Emonga seems to have a thing for Kibago, and Mijumaru seems to have a thing for Emonga as well. It was hilarious when Belle angered Pendoraa and Denchura and they started chasing the gang.

Wow, just wow!
Yeah! I'm back, from my stopped watching Best Wishes because of TR supposedly reverting completely back to normal funk. When I read that at the very least they'd stopped blasting off, I figured I'd give it at least 1 more chance.
And boy am I glad I did. Emolga is hysterical. I honestly forgot how fun these episodes could get at times. And Bianca, oh god, Bianca. Dumb blonde... well, more like ditzy blonde, but you get the idea.
I liked the interactions between Iris, Axew and Emolga; you just knew she'd be getting it, but getting to know how that actually happens was much more amusing.
And Bianca accidentally pissing off 2 badass bug types was just hilarious. And her facial expressions when she realizes it. It just sells!
Emolga using Attract on the Swoobat was also neat, until she realizes that some of them are also females. Then Excadrill is hit. I had a good lol at that.
Favorite part though? Fully orchestrated end credits theme to set up Ash's Big Damn Heroes moment. I'm sorry, but that just made the scene. Seeing as it's such an epic them (and I heard a bit of it used during the gym battle), I couldn't help but realize how much they played of it! Yay!!
Anyhow, it's great to be back!
Emonga is actually pretty cute. Not surprised that Iris caught it instead of Bianca ;P I really wish Doryzu would actually start obeying... It looks so weird all "curled" up or whatever. I've noticed that the show isn't showing Woobat/Swoobat's psychic abilities o.o. After all, they are part psychic.

That camo one is sweet...I think that has the brief underneath instead of the bike shorts, though...I'm all about the shorts to prevent chub rub. Though I will say that those shorts are translucent pink, so I need to consider that when I am choosing my undies to wear underneath!
Final answer - JK = RR Janell = PB Kirsten = PB support Claire = Confused and obviously slightly bored person at keyboard performing mental loops on the RA Acrobatic Post Box
Roads were made for journeys...
Actually now that Janell has defined the very essence of PB - I have a feeling that it could be her. After all - she seems pretty certain that they are different people. How could she know that!
Now that was a bath...
Modified to add: Claire, if you come up to NC you've got to leave that nail-paddle behind... erm... in NZ!
Fortunately Janell, in the current climate I don't believe that they will let me travel on international flights with bondage weaponry.
Fanatic #3965

LOS ANGELES — Babyface called her an icon; Diddy said she was like a sister; and Anita Baker credited her for helping secure her latest Grammy nomination.
There was no shortage of superlatives bestowed on Mary J. Blige on Friday night as Vibe magazine celebrated the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul's career, which has now spanned for more than two decades.
"She's a musical soulmate, she's my sister, she's one of my best friends in the world," said Diddy, who has worked with Blige since the beginning of her career. "Mary is our queen. ... There is no one to come after her."
Blige was feted during Vibe's first Impact Awards, which coincided with the magazine's 20th anniversary. The event included guests like MC Lyte, Jermaine Dupri and Queen Latifah. Blige appeared to wipe away tears at moments as she was lauded by one guest after another.
Babyface, who wrote one of Blige's biggest hits, "Not Gon' Cry," recalled being a little intimidated by the idea of working with Blige, whom he saw as a tough New Yorker.
"Mary walked in and she was so sweet ... and so respectful and totally melted me right there," he said.
Diddy recalled how Blige worked with him after he got fired from one of his first high-profile jobs in the industry and when no else one would, and also said she was one of his best friends.
One of the more emotional tributes came from Baker, who was a childhood idol of Blige's. Baker thanked Blige for seeking her out for collaborations and helping a new generation discover her music.
"That kind of generosity is non-existent in our business," said Baker, who is nominated for a Grammy at Sunday's awards. "This Grammy nomination that I have is in great part because you spoke my name into the 21st century."
Latifah noted the personal transformation of Blige, who overcame substance abuse and other obstacles to become one of music's leading role models. Continued...
"For me when I look back at you and the journey you've taken, I find you to be extremely inspirational and aspirational, especially to young women," Latifah said.
When Blige got up to accept her honor, she thanked everyone for embracing her throughout her career, even during her very public missteps. She also thanked people for accepting her imperfections. She recounted a story about being sent to charm school early in her career by handlers who thought she needed to smooth over her rough edges. But Blige was not a good student.
"I just walked out and I never went back," Blige said. "I'm glad I didn't go back because I don't think that I would have had an impact on anyone's life had I lived someone else's life."
Blige recently starred as Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X, in the Lifetime movie "Betty & Coretta" co-starring Angela Bassett.

LONDON — Britain's health and safety watchdog has come out with a timely indictment of petty officialdom for using the excuse of supposedly protecting the public in order to spoil everyone's Christmas fun.
The seasonal Grinches include the town officials who banned Santa from riding in a local yuletide parade because his reindeer sled was not fitted with a seat belt.
Other killjoys have tried to outlaw the tradition of putting coins in Christmas puddings, and insurance companies have reportedly issued stringent safety guidelines for carol singers.
Each year there are reports of children being banned from throwing snowballs because it is not safe, or office workers being told they cannot put up Christmas decorations for the same reason.
The Health and Safety Executive, the official agency in charge of ensuring sensible safety rules are followed in the workplace, frequently gets the blame for being behind even the most ludicrous bans.
This year, it has struck back by busting such health and safety myths.
"If we had one wish," the agency said, "it would be to stamp out the health and safety Scrooges who try to dampen the Christmas spirit."
It set up a panel to look into complaints that the likes of insurance companies, safety consultants and employers were going too far in their health and safety fervor, often for their own benefit rather than the public's.
"We want to make clear that 'health and safety' is about managing real risks properly, not being risk averse and stopping people getting on with their lives," the agency said.
It sometimes feels like Britons live in a straitjacket of health and safety rules, monitored by petty officials, shop clerks and bureaucrats whose standard response to many everyday activities is "you can't do that – health and safety!"
This wouldn't matter in a country like France or Italy, where rules are made to be broken. In Britain, however, there is a natural tendency to follow the rules – and inevitable frustration when they don't make sense.
Many of the health and safety myths are propagated by a Euroskeptic press that tends to see the hidden hand of the European Union behind restrictions that seem designed to make life difficult. The HSE spends much of its effort on just putting the record straight.
"Christmas is a special time of year," the agency said this week. But that didn't stop people wrongly citing health and safety to prevent harmless activities from going ahead.
"Not only does this needlessly ruin the festive spirit but it also trivializes the true purpose of health and safety: protecting people from real risks at, or connected with, work."
Have a safe and happy Christmas!

Residential Community
The story of the Ridge Haven residential community is part of the story of God's grace and His unique provision of Ridge Haven itself. The beauty of the spacious, hardwood-covered lots, each with its own unique contours and views, is surpassed only by the special people the Lord is building into a one-of-a-kind community. The uncluttered, quiet, and four-seasons beauty of the Ridge Haven subdivisions is accompanied by Ridge Haven amenities, services, and spiritual blessings surpassing many exclusive clubs and residential developments. Most of all, lots in the Ridge Haven community provide some of the most affordable land to be found anywhere in the mountains of the southern United States. When the tax assessor came to view the lots, he said he did not know there were lots this pretty in Transylvania County. Despite the compliment, taxes remain very low and we, of course, believe the lots are some of the most desirable land in the mountains.
We also believe the desirability is enhanced by the Ridge Haven ministry, the community, and our proximity to other developing and beautiful areas including historic Toxaway, Sapphire Valley, Highlands, Cashiers, Brevard, and Hendersonville, North Carolina. Our location is convenient to local shopping, medical, and fire services, I-26, the Asheville Airport, and the expanding metropolitan areas of Asheville, NC, and Greenville, SC.
For many years, the Ridge Haven residential community and subdivisions have remained a secret. As the number of Ridge Haven residents, guests, and participants has increased, however, so has the information about the Ridge Haven residential community and the availability of lots. The secret is quickly getting out! We invite you to join with the others who are considering a home in the mountains of the Ridge Haven community.
Our prayer is that the Lord will bring into the Ridge Haven community those whom He desires. We pray that the experience and relationships established will edify and encourage each resident, serve to assist Ridge Haven in its ministries, and bring glory and honor to the Lord.

As Memorial Day ramps up, so does the CHP to ensure safe roadways
May 22, 2012 — The Memorial Day holiday traditionally marks the end of the school year and the beginning of summer, when many Californians head out to picnics, barbecues and outdoor events.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reminds those headed out on the road to buckle up, designate a driver and eliminate distractions.
Memorial Day weekend is a Maximum Enforcement Period for the CHP.Officers will be out on the road looking for motorists who are a danger to themselves and others.
The Memorial Day holiday reporting period begins at 6 p.m. Friday, May 25, and runs through 11:59 p.m. Monday, May 28.
"If you are celebrating the Memorial Day holiday, we want you to have fun and be safe," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow."If you get behind the wheel, make sure you buckle up and ensure your passengers do the same.Wearing your seat belt can save your life and the lives of those you love."
Memorial Day weekend in 2011 saw a significant increase in the number of people killed in collisions.
According to CHP statistics, there were 24 deaths statewide, a 41 percent increase from the previous year, and 60 percent of those killed were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
There were 1,367 arrests for driving under the influence statewide in CHP jurisdiction during the holiday weekend.
The CHP's holiday enforcement effort coincides with the 2012 "Click It or Ticket" seat belt enforcement campaign, which continues nationwide through June 3.

UPDATED: Arrests after car fire at Littlemoor (From Thisisdorset)

UPDATED: Arrests after car fire at Littlemoor
8:46am Monday 28th January 2013 in Latest
FOUR people were arrested in connection with a suspected arson fire in Weymouth.
Three males, aged 41, 19 and 16, and a female, 15, were arrested early this morning from different addresses in the Beverley Road area of Littlemoor and taken away by Dorset Police for interview.
Residents said that Dorset Police had been on scene at Beverley Road since 8am.
The arrests came after a Ford Focus was set on fire in a car park in Beverley Road.
Eyewitnesses said they heard banging as the fire took hold, like explosions, and saw the car in flames as it slipped down the car park towards other houses.
The road was blackened where the car had burnt and there was glass in the car park.
One resident, who did not wish to be named, saw the car on fire. She said: "It was full of flames. You couldn't see the car - it was just flames."
She added: "It was the car alarms going off that woke me and then I looked out and saw it.
"The fire brigade came and put it out."
Two Weymouth fire crews used water jets to extinguish the blaze just after 4.15am.
A spokesman for the service said: "The cause of the fire is under investigation."
Yesterday morning (28) police cars, vans and a scientific investigation van were all on scene while police made their arrests and left at about 9.30am.
Speaking at the scene critical incident inspector for the west of the county, Pete Meteau said: "Overnight we have had some further vehicles attacked and burnt and we have just arrested several people in relation to these offences."
Inspector Meteau added that those arrested were taken to Weymouth police station for interview.
Inspector for Weymouth and Portland Les Fry said the four people had been arrested in connection 'to what is suspected to be arson,' and the investigation was continuing.
He said: "We would appeal to members of the public to come forward with information to help us make Littlemoor a safer place for everyone.
"We will take a strong line with antisocial behaviour and crime in Littlemoor.
"We want to work in partnership with all the agencies involved and the community in order to do this."
Anyone with information should call Dorset Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555 111.
