10. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
The American housewive's alternative to strutting down Fifth Avenue holding multiple Louis Vuitton bags, since they dont want to ruffle their Valentino dress... Mercedes-Benz has evoked a name of luxury, prominence, and ultimate safety in a confusing world of automotive manufactures. A continued dedication to excellence allows Mercedes to collaborate with award-winning brands to create an experience that no other American car company can come close to. They rule the industry and continue to set standards which other brands continue to copy AND take credit for! I need three more Mercedes-Benz sedans to match my new dress. What colors do you have resembling fuchsia, turqouise, and aqua?...
What do you mean you don't have aqua? It's a totally different color! |

1. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
One of the two finest automobile companies in the world. Mercedes and BMW are the ultimate contenders for mass-production high-quality cars. Nobody can fucking step to them. American: I love my Ford.
European: You are truly a fucking idiot, Mercedes and BMW rule the world. American: I know, but since I am a lazy motherfucker I do not know these things, and I am too blind to see the truth. |
2. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
Mercedes-Benz is one of the best car manufactures in the world. They produce a car with perfect blend of quality, saftey, performance, and luxary that no other car company can, with the exception of BMW and Volvo.
Japanese cars have the almost the same long lasting qualities, but not the saftey and solid-ness. American cars just blow. Evan: I got into a car accident today, I was blind sided by a guy running a red light.
Adam: How are you at the gym, if you were in a car accident earlier today? Evan: Because I was driving a Mercedes-Benz. Adam: Wow, what kind of car was the other guy driving? Evan: A Chevy Cavalier. Hes in intensive care at the hospital right now, he should be alright. Adam: Its a good thing you spend a few extra bucks for a Mercedes, not only is it sexy looking, its also the safest mass-produced car on the market. Evan: Yeah, im going to buy a new one tomorrow. |
3. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
One of the most reknowned manufacturer of luxury automobiles, based in Germany. Founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, registered the first automobile patent. Mercedes-Benz is now a part of the DaimlerChrysler auto group. Model range includes the A-Class (compact), C-Class (smaller sedan), E-Class (mid-size sedan), S-Class (luxury sedan), CLK-Class (mid-size coupe), SLK-Class (smaller roadster), CL-Class (luxury coupe), SL-Class (roadster), M-Class (SUV), and the G-Class (premium/limited production SUV).
4. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
Mercedes-Benz is a luxury car company based in Germany. Mercedes builds fast, safe, and well-riding cars and trucks for personal and some industrial use. Despite historically being reliable, UNBIASED magazines such as Consumer Reports have stated that Mercedes cars and trucks shipped to the United States are very unreliable and are thus not reccomended. I was driving my cool new Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec to the diesel station, but then my engine broke down. Guess I'll need to shell out $8000 for the dealership to look at it.
5. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
One of the finest cars in the world. They are luxurious, reliable and beautiful. The name is a byword for quality, customer car and luxury. Unfortunately in the mid 1990s the company started cutting corners and the quality dropped. Luckily Mercedes Benz has started making great cars again. Since 2007, the quality of their cars have drastically improved There are two types of cars in the world, there are cars and there are Mercedes-Benz.
My W124 has never has ANY problems. It is still tight as a drum and runs like it is brand new after 18 hard years and 157,000 miles on the clock |
6. | Mercedes-Benz | ||
A car company that was created by the inventor of the gas-powered automobile, Karl Benz. Often sterotyped as "the rich man's car". I saw a modded Cobra get smoked by a stock Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG
7. | mercedes-benz | ||
The drivers of Mercedes-benz are the MOST STUCK UP drivers in the world. Even if they're driving a 20 year old beat up benz they have the largest ego and attitude of anyone on the road. I was in a new jag and I had Mercedes-Benz Drivers giving me snooty looks like they were better than me.

VALENTINE'S DAY | This year's hot styles are Clooney for the men and Hathaway for the ladies
By TRACEY COMPTON
Renton Reporter Staff writer
February 10, 2013 · Updated 10:16 AM
What better place to get advice on personal beauty for Valentine's Day than the epicenter of trends and city scoop, CD Danza Salon and Spa. Owner Cheryl Danza shared with the Renton Reporter what's trending in looks for men and women preparing for dates and where they're going.
The salon's customers are men and women of all ages and hair types. About 15 percent of Danza's business is also servicing relaxers, which are common for African American hair.
For men right now, the popular hairstyles are exhibited by Zach Efron's full-stop-top, George Clooney's spiky cut and the kick wave that Justin Bieber moved to, said Danza.
The full-stop-top is wavy on the top and the bang pushes out. The spiky look is shorter on the sides and spiky on top. Guys in their 20s to 30s opt for the Efron, Bieber look. The rest go for Clooney's style, according to the salon owner.
Females have taken to Anne Hathaway's recent short cut and Jessica Alba's layered look.
Hathaway, as seen in film "Les Miserables," has a pixie perfect cut, said Danza.
"A flip style or a pixie perfect are really fun and easy any age," she said. "Even Baby Boomers can wear the flip. It can make them look young, very approachable; it's soft. Hillary Clinton has a little flip in her hair right now."
Alba has a technique called ombre, which has lots of highlights down toward the bottom of her hair.
"So when the hair's curled or straight, it gives a lot of peak-a-boo pieces and we can do that in any color," Danza said.
While ombre is popular amongst the younger set, another technique has become all the rage among women 20 to 65.
"There is no age limit for any of the techniques, but most people of all generations are having balayage," said Danza. "It's a French technique and the pieces are painted on the hair that I've actually selected to frame the face, or pop out where I want with the haircut."
The style can be used on men as well and the salon does a fair amount of color for guy's hair.
Danza offers this advice when selecting a look for Valentine's Day.
"If you're going to be extreme, definitely own it," she said. "Don't just do it for Valentine's Day; do it because you want to do it."
An example, which has caught fire is the fringe bang, which is subtle, but an extreme look, the stylist said.
"All of the sudden there's this huge interest in having a bang again," she said. "It's a very soft, hot, look and I do think that's going to be the look for Valentine's Day, the eyebrow length bang."
So where and what are Rentonians doing after they get all done up?
Danza's clients tell her they're going on dates, out with friends, entertaining at home and attending parties. Some of the places they frequent are The Red House, The Melrose, The Met coffeehouse and for second and third dates, A Terrible Beauty, restaurant and pub.
The current buzz has been about Marianna's, a new Italian restaurant, where Armondo's used to be, said Danza.
"I have a lot of clients who do online dating, so they've got something going every weekend, sometimes during the middle of the week," she said.
She even played match makeronce to a male and female client she's gotten to know very well during the years. Sitting in her salon chair, clients tell her a lot about their lives and that couple has been dating for eight months now.
"They did make that love connection," Danza said. "They haven't gotten married, but they're definitely serious and in a committed relationship. So that was fun."
CD Danza offers other services for date primping too.
"Schellac, (by Creative Nail Design), pedicures, make-up and blowouts are the most popular for going out on a date," she said.
Schellac is a hybrid between a gel and regular nail polish that dries fast under a light. Blowouts are a shampoo, condition and style service that have become popular in the area in the last three years and much earlier in Los Angeles and New York. It's a service akin to when women used to visit salons on a weekly basis in the '40s,'50s and '60s, Danza said.
"Women often went to the salon once a week and got their rollers put in their hair," she said. "That kind of technique is coming back, but we're doing flat-ironing, curling with several barrel curling irons and even types of rollers."

The doomsday stories seem to be closely connected with the year 2012, especially since the ancient Mayan calendar which covers the timespan of more than 5000 years, ends on December 21st 2012. This day will mean the end of the 13th bak'tun, last period of around 400 years in Mayan calendar.
While there is a certainly truth that the Mayan civilization knew whole lot of things about astronomy there's no evidence whatsoever, that the December 21st 2012 means the end of the world, it only means the end of Mayan calendar and nothing else.
The most popular doomsday theory connected with Mayan calendar is the one about the infamous planet Nibiru that was supposedly discovered by the ancient Sumerians. Under this theory the planet Nibiru should collide with Earth in 2012, and even if it doesn't hit our planet its passage through our Solar system would cause fatal damage to our planet.
This astronomical disaster was first announced for 2003, and after that it was postponed to December 2012 in order to match with Mayan calendar.
The NASA scientists have announced several times that if such planet would actually be on course to collide with earth they would be able to monitor it for at least couple of decades and today we could be even able to see this planet with naked eyes.
The increased solar activity is also no reason for panic in 2012 because even the almighty Sun doesn't have enough energy to send a killer solar flare 93 million miles to destroy Earth.
There also seems to be no big asteroid heading our way. Even the infamous 2005 YU55 asteroid hasn't done any damage to our planet when it passed next to Earth in November 2011, and according to NASA there are no deadly asteroids currently heading our way though some tabloids were even suggesting that NASA hides the truth about this asteroid hitting our planet.
From the astronomical point of view there seems to be no danger whatsoever, in terms of possible disaster that would end all life on our planet in 2012. Instead of worrying about the cataclysmic scenarios world should rather start worry about the long-term effects of climate change because this looks to be the only real threat that could seriously disrupt our future life on Earth.

NEIL YOUNG/FOO FIGHTERS BENEFIT RAISES INCREDIBLE $1.3 BILLION Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The Foo Fighters and The Black Keys co-headlined the Global Citizen Festival on Sept. 29 in New York City's Central Park before 60,000 fans. The televised concert that was created to raise money for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, the Half the Sky Movement, charity: water and Global Partnership for Education, aimed at ending extreme poverty around the world, raised an incredible $1.3 billion in pledge commitments.
BEACH BOYS MIKE LOVE SAYS HE DIDN'T FIRE BRIAN WILSON Singer Mike Love, who owns The Beach Boys name, says he didn't fire group mastermind Brian Wilson upon the completion of its highly acclaimed and successful 50 th Anniversary Tour, according to a column he sent to the Los Angeles Times. The same goes for singer-guitarists Al Jardine and David Marks. Legions of the group's fans disagreed with this and the criticism of his move hasn't stopped. Even the now ex-band members themselves disagree with him.
In a column to the Los Angeles Times, Love writes, "Let me get right to it: I did not fire Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys."
He continues, "This tour was always envisioned as a limited run. None of us wanted to do a 50 th anniversary tour that lasted 10 years." He says the tour was originally set for 50 concerts and he, Wilson and Jardine
As the tour went on, the guys discovered that they were having far more fun, fun, fun than they ever thought they would. "As the year went on, Brian and Al wanted to keep the 50 th anniversary tour going beyond the 75 dates."
Despite writing that, "like any good party, no one wanted it to end," Love did.
Love says he'd already booked smaller shows for The Beach Boys band that he led for 13 years before the reunion. This version of the band, sans Wilson, Jardine and Marks, includes singer-keyboardist Bruce Johnston, who joined the group in 1965 and was also a key member of the 50 th tour.
The Beach Boys website lists no upcoming concerts for this version of the group. However, Pollstar, a website that lists concerts, shows the group performing this weekend on Friday and Saturday at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss. The resort's website confirms this booking, showing a photo of only Love and Johnston. Pollstar earlier showed bookings by the Love and Johnston contingent for concerts this past week in Texas and in South America. In his column, Love doesn't say if he'll ask Wilson, Jardine and Marks to tour again as The Beach Boys.
Wilson, with Jardine's endorsement, responded to Love's column with his own letter to the L.A. Times. "First, I want to say that the last few months have been some of the happiest in my life. Recording 'That's Why God Made the Radio' (The Beach Boys reunion album that hit No. 3) was a dream come true."
He continues, "The tour that followed blew away all my expectations."
"Now on to the rumors: As far as I know I can't be fired - that wouldn't be cool.What's confusing is that by Mike not wanting or letting Al, David or me tour with the band, it sort of feels like we're being fired," Wilson writes.
"What's a bummer to Al and me is that we (the reunited Beach Boys) have numerous offers to continue, so why wouldn't we want to?"
"Al and I would like to be included in the continuous promotion of 'That's Why God Made the Radio.' Mike kept saying throughout the tour, 'the whole is greater that the sum of its parts,' and both Al and I agree, which made us all think that he wanted to continue." Wilson notes promoter's offers for a return to the Hollywood Bowl, as well as shows at Madison Square Garden, and Wrigley Field. "And what better way to celebrate New Year's Eve that with the 50 th band? That would have blown the lid off things. There were also offers for more shows in the U.K. and markets we weren't able to play during the tour."
In the end, Wilson writes, "While I appreciate the nice cool things Mike said about me in his letter, I'm still wondering why he doesn't want to continue this great trip we're on. I welcome Mike to call me."
KEITH RICHARDS TALKS STONES CONCERTS Despite the recent tweet by The Rolling Stones denying two reported concerts in London and New York City next month, Keith Richards tells
Q magazine, "We've got some shows in London, I believe, and in New York, but I can't talk about any of that at the moment. They've put a gag on me on this. You can hint." He also said that the group has a month of rehearsals set and had completed a week of them, noting that he and the rest of the guys are having a great time.
GARFUNKEL CANCELS ALL 2012 SHOWS Art Garfunkel, who abruptly canceled two concerts in Sweden late last month, canceled all of his remaining shows for the rest of the year, according to a statement on his website. The shows were set throughout the United States.
The statement says that the singer, who turns 72 on
Nov. 5, has "been working on mending his voice" for the past two years since he first experienced a condition known as vocal chord paresis, the symptoms of which can be hoarseness, a sore throat, and vocal fatigue.
His condition forced the cancellation in June 2010 of the remainder of a Simon and Garfunkel tour that had just gotten underway. The post quotes Garfunkel as saying, "I had such hopes of being finally ready to perform. How painful to try and not be quite there yet."
ROCK HALL OF FAME NOMINATIONS The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced its list of nominees for induction next year. For the first time, fans can also vote. Fans have until Dec. 5 to vote at www.rockhall.com. The new and returning nominees are Procol Harum, Deep Purple, Albert King, Rush, Heart, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Randy Newman, The Meters, Kraftwerk, Donna Summer, Chic, N.W.A., Public Enemy and '60 s Motown all-girl quintet The Marvelettes of "Please Mr. Postman" fame.
For the first time since 1993, the induction ceremony and accompanying all-star jam will be held in L.A., at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live next April 18.
ABBA MUSEUM A museum dedicated to Swedish superstar pop group ABBA, who have sold nearly 400 million records and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, will open next spring in the singing quartet's hometown, Copenhagen, according to Australia's Sky News.
The museum that will feature numerous examples of the glitzy costumes they wore and real life holograms of the foursome, as well as instruments and other mementos is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
The foursome of two men, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and two women, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog, formed in 1972 and recorded and toured until making their final live appearance on Dec. 11, 1982. Since then, the four have appeared in public only three times, in 1986 to film a video of them recording an acoustic take on their song, "Tivedshambo" (they also performed together that year at a friend's private birthday party), and 2005 and 2008 when they all showed up in Stockholm - first the stage premiere, then the film premiere of "Mama Mia!" that is based on their songs.
R.B. GREAVES DIES Pop singer R. B. Greaves, nephew of soul legend Sam Cooke, who was shot to death in LA in 1964, died of prostrate cancer in Granada Hills at age 68, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The singer had only a brief recording career, from 1969-1972, and he only released four singles. However, two of those singles were hits.
The 1969 debut single that he wrote himself, "Take a Letter Maria," hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart, No. 3 on the adult contemporary chart and
No. 10 on the R&B chart.
By 1970, the single was certified as a gold record and had sold more than 2.5 million copies. In 1970, he followed it up with a version of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me." His version was a hit, making it to No. 27 on the Hot 100 and all the way up to No. 3 on the easy Listening chart. In 1983, British pop band Naked Eyes made it an international Top 10 hit, taking it to No. 8 here.
Greaves' third single, also in 1970, was his take on Procol Harum's mega-hit single, "Whiter Shade of Pale," that died at No. 87.
ALL-TIME GREATEST GUITARISTS Respected Rolling Stone magazine's longtime veteran music writer David Fricke has selected his list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. His list is out as a special issue of the magazine. The Top 10 (backward) are Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones (10), the world's sloppiest great guitarist or the greatest sloppy guitarist, Jimmy Page of The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin (9), Ry Cooder (8), Stevie Ray Vaughn (7), Chuck Berry (6), '30 s blues icon Robert Johnson (5), Eric Clapton of The Yardbirds, Cream and Blind Faith (4), B.B. King (3), Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers and Derek & The Dominos (2) and at No. 1, Jimi Hendrix.

No. 7 pop hit, "So Sad," the standards "Love Is a Many Splendered Thing" and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," and "She," that was a hit in 1974 by French singer Charles Aznavour and that Elvis Costello recorded in 1999 for the Julia Roberts-Hugh Grant romance film, "Notting Hill." On "Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra," Lynne re-records a dozen ELO hits in a release that coincides with the premiere of a new hour-long documentary on Lynne, also called "Mr. Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne and ELO."
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing:
Chubby Checker is the only artist in the history of popular music to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart two times with the same song. His cover version of "The Twist" by Hank Ballard, leader of The Midnighters (whose take peaked at #16 on the R&B chart in 1959), first hit the top for one week on Sept. 9, 1960, when he was 18. A couple of years later it was rereleased and it did it again, this time for two weeks beginning Jan. 13, 1962. No one else can make that claim, including Elvis, The Beatles, Elton John, Mariah Carey, no one.
In the early '60 s, a new dance, the Twist, was the rage with tons of Twist songs being issued. From 1962-1963, Joey Dee and The Starlighters and Gary U.S. Bonds each hit the Top 20 twice with a total of four Twist tunes. Danny & The Juniors hit the Top 20 with "Twistin' U.S.A.," while The Marvelettes, who followed up their debut single, the No. 1 smash, "Please Mr. Postman," with, here it comes, "Twistin' Postman."
And everyone from First Lady Jackie Kennedy to Burton and Taylor to ballet star Rudolph Nureyev to Mary Tyler Moore's Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" to Dame Margaret Rutherford as Agatha Christie's octogenarian sleuth, Miss Marple, were doing the Twist.
But Checker, with his million dollar smile, was King of the Twist. In between the song's two runs at Numero Uno, he released the expected, "Let's Twist Again," in 1961, that made it to No. 8 (it hit No. 1 in the U.K. on the NME chart) and, believe it or not, netted him a Grammy for the year's Best Rock & Roll Recording. In 1962, darned if he didn't do it again, hitting No. 3 with "Slow Twistin'" (with Dee Dee Sharp). But the craze eventually petered out and his last hit Twist single, "Twist It Up," in 1963, although still a hit, only made it to No. 25.
In fact, he was pretty much the dance king, period. Between 1960-1963, he scored with the dance songs such as "The Hucklebuck" (No. 14), "Pony Time," (another No. 1 single, this time that had the kids doing the Pony), "The Fly" (No. 7), "Dance the Mess Around" (No. 24), and "Dancin' Party" (No. 12). After "Limbo Rock" (you know the Limbo) hit No. 2 in 1962 (his final Top 10 biggie), of course, he followed it up with "Let's Limbo Some More," that reached No. 20. In 1965, he even recorded his own version of British Invasion act Freddie and The Dreamers' charming dance oddity, "Do the Freddie." Even that one made the Top 40, barely, stopping No. 40.
At 71, Chubby Checker is still smiling and Twistin' it up for his many fans.
Last week, he played shows in Victorville and El Cajon and this weekend he'll be dancing up a storm at the Mississippi State Fair in Jackson and at the Twist In The Streets Bash in DeLand, Fla. Later in the month, Oct. 14-23, he'll headline the Rock The Boat cruise aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship of the South Pacific departing from Sydney, Australia.
Then he's in for a six-week run from Nov. 3-Dec. 15 at the Icon Theatre in Branson, Mo.

Some Like It Hot!
Heading into a canyon, Ash & Co. meet a trainer who is content on finding a large Magcargo to capture. However he insults Misty and Misty wants to battle. Will they both get what they want?
Visit The Episode Guide
This was a good episode. The minirivalry between Misty and Egan was great. I like trainers that specialize in one type.
One of the best episodes, in my opinion. Being a Flareon fan, I loved it the first time I saw it. And the scene with Team Rocket in the hot springs was adorable...
DeviantART Studio Jupiter (TBA)
This was a great episode. Misty was funny here, as were Brock and Ash's side comments. I liked Misty's description of water Pokemon.
I liked Egan, I don't know why. It's funny how he and Misty kept arguing back and forth over whose pokemon are better. I especially liked when Ash and Brock kept trying to calm them down. LOL The magcargo was pretty funny in battle too, especially when it kept making everyone nervous and when it got confused when flareon jumped on its back. Overall, pretty good episode.

I hate chaining. -_-
This episode was good. Misty and egan's rivalry was funny and seeing a flareon again is a treat.
Anime Bish: Kagura from Gintama/Anime song: Alones from Bleach
Many thanks to Kimmi the Awesome for the awesome banner.
PM me if you wanna play me in Jump Ultimate Stars or Vs. me in PBR. ^-~
Good episode, the little arguing between Misty and Egan on what type is better was fuuny
n o e l - v e r m i l l i o n
Great episode.I loved all that arguing between Misty and Egan about which type is better and how she was annoyed at him.This episode also showed why Misty finds water pokemon special to her while explaining her love for them to Egan.Its actually funny how bith were annoyed at each other and at the end of the episode they become friends.
I also liked how Magcargo annoyed everyone in battle and managed to beat Mistys Poliwhirl and Egans Flareon.
A nice episode Egan a nice trainer of the Week to match against Misty with their dueling personalities.
My Grandmother always said...
"She who walks the path of heaven will rule over everything"
Honoka (4942-4776-9703) (White)
Does anyone remember Misty's exact reason (quote preferred) for why she loves Water-Types?
Team Galactic conquers all
I really enjoyed this episode. I thought that that giant Magcargo was really neat. I liked seeing the little rivalry going on between Misty and Egan. I am glad that we now know why Misty likes water Pokemon. It's too bad that she couldn't defeat Magcargo with her Poliwhirl. I thought the fight between Egan's Flareon and Magcargo was quite entertaining. I loved the strategy to jump on Magcargo's back. I am glad Egan caught the Magcargo.
I <3 May.
I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.
I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!
If you would like to know me send me a message. I'm not shy(:
The old Misty was back in this episode, with her fiery temper and her love of water Pokemon. I love her explanation on water Pokemon with comparison to the water in the cup. A lot of great character development for Misty. Other than that, it was a pretty forgettable episode.
Need: Pokemon DP: Galactic Battles, Pokemon DP: Sinnoh League Victors, Arceus and the Jewel of Life
To Be Continued
Well the Marcargo in this episode sure was lazy since it didn't want to get off of the road. I was surprised to see that Misty finally found a rival of sorts, even if he was just a little boy haha. I did like her explaination about how water is adaptable and why she prefers Water-type Pokemon. It made sense and it made me see Misty in a whole different way. Interesting Filler with tons of Misty character development. 4/10.

Great episode.
I loved the battle between fire and water.
And Magcargo was very strong..
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
Loving most Fire types (Even Magmortar grew on me after using it in Plat for the E4) I liked this battle. It's nice to see Flareon by itself and not with the others. Vapereon and Jolteon already had their episodes (Umbreon too, Espeon was the main part of Espeon not included).
For some reason I had thought Magcargo was an Hoenn Pokemon or forgot it was from Johto, maybe it's because Flannery used them or something lol
Eventually the battle didn't over.
That boy was very good trainer, good Misty episode.
Ugh. I got to be honest I really dislike Egan. Maybe I really disliked Egan because first I love Misty and water pokemon and third I'm not a huge fan of fire pokemons. So I really don't like this episode. But that Magcargo was really huge!!! So I'll rate this episode 3/10
Love You ♥

This episode was ok... It was cool seeing Magcargo for the 1st time, especially a giant one. I'm glad Egan caught it at the end. The rivalry between Egan and Myster was very cool and funny to watch. It was cool seeing a Rock Slide attack for the 1st time.

Mozilla Unleashes The Kraken
A new browser benchmark focused on real world workloads.
The Mozilla Project announced the release of a new JavaScript benchmark that focuses on real world applications and forward-looking applications. Called Kraken, the benchmark addresses the elements of the Web that people often complain about for being too slow.
"We believe that the benchmarks used in Kraken are better in terms of reflecting realistic workloads for pushing the edge of browser performance forward," Mozilla's Rob Sayre said in the Kraken announcement.
Kraken is free and open source and is continually going through tweaks and changes in an effort to evolve the benchmark quickly. Sayre says that Firefox 4 is roughly 2.5 times faster than 3.6 under the Kraken benchmark. Try the Kraken test for yourself here.

5. | tripster | ||
A teenager who lives in Hawaii and was circumsised at birth.
He's annoying as hell and can't take the hit "dude no one likes you go the fuck away". If I was a tripster I'd shoot my parents for cutting apart my dick and then shoot myself for having a cut dick.
1. | Tripster | ||
A tripster is an educated and conscious psychedelic explorer. They are the breed of people with the perfect mixture of higher-leveled curiosity and courage. Tripsters willingly enter psychedelic states in order to both implore and explore these uncharted territories with the directed purpose of attempting to charter them. What up tripster, how was your S-trip? What type of ZOOMDOUT information did you bring back for us this time?
Hoffman, Huxley, Shulgin, Wasson, Leary, Lilly, Kesey, Alpert, Castaneda, Strassman, Abraham, Wilson, Sheldrake, Dennis and Terence McKenna are some of the most zoomed out minds in recent western history. It's no coincidence that they're all eternal tripsters. |
2. | Tripster | ||
A new wave of weirdos that take pride in their strangeness and lack of identity. A blend of existentialism with a new found optimism. These people surround themselves with chaos, but enjoy every minute of it. They are often heard listening to rap, hip-hop, techno, rock, or whatever gets them through the moment. They usually would rather listen to their own music or that of their friends. They often contain an inner paradox. They can be violent in appearance but be a hippie at heart, or they can be flamboyant but crazier about girls than any straight-looking jock or vice versa. They do not play sports, but they love adrenaline. They can have a sad look in their eyes, but be the happiest people in the world. Starting to get the point? Mystery is their middle name, happy endings are their game. They are often impulsive, but always with good intentions. They are easily caught up in the moment. They might try and get in fights all the time but when they find it, they usually will let the other person beat them to a pulp without even throwing so much as a punch. They like cats. They binge. They are generous, not just with material goods but with their love. They never give up on those childhood dreams of a better world, and they most certainly never give up on humanity. However, they might appear cynical. They are tricky. They might be part of gangs that would never hurt a fly. They are romantics, and they love late nights full of sex.
3. | Tripster | ||
A combination between a hipster and a tripper. In other words, a combination between a current individual and someone who is doped up on drugs. Yeah man, hes such a tripster. His skinny tie's got dope burns all over it.
4. | tripster | ||
A hipster that also does mad drugs. I thought that girl was just a hipster, but the way she was scratching out her eyes made me realize she was an actual tripster. yikes.

With only a few weeks left in the CAF's critically acclaimed exhibition "A Handful of Dust", we feel compelled to get the word out to our art-loving visitors about this unique opportunity to see some thought-provoking work in a local gallery.
For those who don't know, the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum (CAF) is a pillar of our local art community and one of the leading contemporary art galleries in central California. CAF's free-admission gallery exhibits a rotating selection of art in various mediums that represent a broad spectrum of attitudes and approaches. The Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara is proud to be a creative partner of the CAF, providing space for their satellite gallery right here in our hotel.
The "Handful of Dust" exhibition currently on display at the CAF's main location in Paso Nuevo Mall brings together the sculptural work of seven artists who engage the intersection between modern and primitive with archaic and spare installations.
"No Age" by Jay Heikes
In addition to "A Handful of Dust", the gallery is currently featuring the latest installment in its Bloom Projects series. Entitled "Root", this project by Molly Smith is envisioned as an expression of her experiences when visiting Santa Barbara. Found objects scoured from unlikely corners of the city are incorporated into collages and sculptures that reflect the spirit, landscape and culture of Santa Barbara.
While Santa Barbara is home to a lot of tasty restaurants, the newest and most highly anticipated one is now open in our very own hotel! Successful Restaurateur and Chef Jason Tuley has unveiled Anchor Woodfire Kitchen & Bar at 119 State Street in Santa Barbara's thriving artistic and cultural beachfront community known as the Funk Zone. Chef Tuley's lifelong friend, Chef de Cuisine Charles Fredericks joins him in this new gourmet offering.
Chef Tuley in the Kitchen

The restaurant will be open six days a week from 7 am to close with Sunday Brunch from 9 am to 3 pm and Dinner 5 pm to close. As a special treat, guests at the Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara may order room service or food to the rented Boardroom from the restaurant.
Lobster with Squid Ink Pasta
Santa Barbara native, Chef Tuley grew up cooking with red oak, which inspired Anchor Woodfire Kitchen. Chef Fredericks and Tuley's relationship with local puveys allows for daily changing menus and fresh, high-quality ingredients such as organic meats, house made cured meats, fresh sustainable seafood, in-house made pastas, breads, and pastries.

This weekend, I noticed the price sign at the station showed regular gasoline dropped an additional 5 cents to $3.74 a gallon.
"What's going on?" I thought, as I recalled how one of my friends and former colleagues used to argue with me routinely about the true causes of the rise and fall of gas prices in this country.
Then Monday evening I pulled up to the pump at this national oil company station/convenience store. The advertised cost per gallon was a full 20 cents less than I had paid just two weeks before, $3.69.
That's when I really remembered my former colleague becoming frustrated every time I mentioned the American people were being suckered by "Big Oil" and "greedy, manipulating speculators" who were playing the oil market like Las Vegas high-rollers and we poor consumers were being bilked in the name of free enterprise.
"Supply and demand," my friend/adversary would say each time we debated oil prices.
I would insist there's no supply problem, and all demands are being met.
"Do you see any lines at the pump?" I would ask.
He would say something like, "You just don't get it."
And I admit, I don't get it. I'm not an economist. I know very little about the oil industry beyond its record quarterly profits reports. But, I also know that over the past few years speculators have been driving the price of oil while the market analysts, media observers and so-called financial experts come up with some reason prices were rising.
It seemed every time Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sneezed, the price for a barrel of oil would escalate. Even though the daily market values were for "future" delivery, the cost of gasoline would jump immediately. Why? For months now, we've been told that Iran's flirtation with nuclear power, turmoil in Libya and China's demand for foreign oil were con- tributing to the increased cost of gasoline in this country. Adding to those troubles were refineries taken off line for maintenance or seasonal changes in formulations.
And we must not forget price hikes whenever a hurricane forms in the Atlantic (although 1,000 miles away) that forecasters say may hit offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
As I've driven around the past few days, I've noticed gasoline prices falling further. Some stations had regular unleaded priced at $3.64 a gallon. On Tuesday the website fortworthgasprices.com listed more than a dozen area stations with prices under $3.60; the lowest were several selling regular at $3.54.
Had I missed some national or international news that was drastically and rapidly affecting prices at the pump?
Ahmadinejad is as irrational as usual, although sanctions against Iran seemed to be getting the attention of Iran's leaders. Libya is still unstable, and folks in China continue to buy more cars. Analysts say that China's economy, as well as manufacturing in some European nations, may be contracting, and there's real concern over the recent presidential elections in France with a strong showing by a Socialist Party candidate. There also has been more oil production coming out of Saudi Arabia and even an upswing in U.S. production, they say.
But the speculators are still there, and I agree with President Barack Obama that there should be greater oversight over the oil markets to mitigate the over-manipulation by those who profit through speculation. It's been a troubling trend for too long.
Maybe the president's announcement had something to do with the current price drop.
Of course I can hear my former colleague, Jack Z. Smith, saying, "It's supply and demand, Bob Ray. You just don't get it."

GREAT Ergonomic Desk for Shorter People This table adjusts to the perfect height for an ergonomic workstation. More info if you're interested: I'm very short, 5', and have struggled with chronic pain from typing. An ergonomically correct desk for me has to be 26" tall. Guess how many 26 inch desks are out there AT A REASONABLE PRICE? NONE! The standard desk / table height is 30 inches. This table is perfect! And yes, I have a foot rest, a great HON chair (also from Wayfair), ergo keyboard and mouse, etc. The desk gets my knees to the proper 90 degree angle (on the foot rest). The pressure off my back and shoulders has been wonderful. (My previous set up, which also worked, was a used dining room table with the legs cut down to 24 inches. This was too low, so we had it up on books.) |
Leslie McCarthy from Cincinnati, Ohio
Great Perfect for a small group in my new classroom! Easy assembly, attractive as well as sturdy. I would recommend to anyone! |
Tatiana Drapkin from Thornhill, ON
Very nice table, kids love it. I baught this table (24" x 36" Rectangle) for my kids (2 and 3 year old). It has enough room for both of them, when they are drawing, but it still compact enough and does not take much space in the room. It is very heavy, but it is more of a plus since it does not shake. Easy to clean. I baught standard leg size. I think kids will be able to comfortably use it for the next 4-5 years. |
Ida from Madison, AL
Small Tables: Big success These Mahar Small Rectangular Tables are just what was need to set up quiet study areas in the classroom. I know the students will benefit from these "Zoom in Zones" when they need the quiet area to concentrate and room to spread out their work. The tables are sturdy, adjustable and easy to move and clean. |
Navongela from Ocala, FL
Creative Colors Activity Tables I purchased this item for my child care center. I would recommend this product for any child care center. |
nicole from crawfordville, FL
GREAT table! I LOVE this table. It is very durable and can take whatever my 2 year old son can dish out. The different sizes is a great option along with all the different colors. I was able to put it together by myself as well. If I ever need another chair like this I will be ordering from them again. The csr agent was AMAZING! |
Xiaoyuan from Sunnyvale, CA
Nice table for kids Good quality and arrived promptly. Love the fact that the legs can extend. The table is a little on the heavy side, but that is not necessarily a down side. |
Lisa from Starkville, Mississippi
very good quality table. My kids use the table daily for their home work. It is very steady and smooth. |
Sally from AZ
Strong Durable Table Easy assembly. Love that it is height adjustable, and heavy so it doesn't move easily across the carpet, but stays in place. Mine got scratched in the first week (I don't know how), but only shows in a certain light. Beautiful, and looks like it will stand up to many years of nearly constant use! |
Vero from Quebec, Canada
Exactly what I needed! Sturdy and big enough for 6 kids to sit comfortably. The table is a little bit heavy. |

You don't need oil for this dish. You can add more soy sauce and vinegar if you like. Do not overwhelme with the brown sugar, its purpose is for flavor only not the taste. Enjoy!

Initial Thoughts About the ZTE Score – A Brief Review
Initial ZTE Score Review
Yesterday, I bought a ZTE Score from Best Buy online for a whopping $89 dollars. This makes the ZTE Score the lowest priced Android on a no-contract plan in the market. The next closest in price is the LG Optimus V from Virgin Mobile at $149.99.
I've had the ZTE Score for a few hours now, and I am letting it charge after my initial tinkering. While it charges, I figured I would let you know about some of my preliminary thoughts.
Specs They Do Not Tell You About
- Internal phone memory available (aka, that is free to fill up) is about 100MB and the total amount dedicated to internal storage space is about 140MB. This is pretty small. as the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V, the Score's closest competitor in price, has about 35MB more space on both ends.
- The Hotspot feature is present and can successfully turn on/off , and you reach the configure menu. You do have to use an app like Quicksettings or Superbox to access the Hotspot feature menu, however.
- The phone is very smooth and zippy – It can play the more advanced games like Need For Speed just fine.
- The 4GB microSD card only has 1GB of personal storage with 3GB partitioned off as "MUVE Music" storage. This is great if you intend to use the service….
- The phone's body has the look and feel of an Iphone. The Iphone is just slightly longer and maybe slightly skinnier.
- The buttons have a different configuration order than most Android devices going (from left to right) Back, Menu, Home, Search instead of Menu, Home, Back, Search.
- Flash is not available for this phone.
Initial Things I Like:
- I am very surprised by how fast the phone is, especially with the animations off.
- I like that the hotspot feature exists and has not been "hidden" and/or turned off like Virgin Mobile has done with some of their phones
- I like that you can turn off the boot up/shutdown sound. A lot of phones do not allow this.
- The non physical buttons for home/menu/search/back are very responsive unlike my experience with Samsung phones.
- The phone supports DRM, which means that "in theory" (I have not tested this yet) the Android Movies in the market should work. The movies menu shows up when I load up the Market, so this is a cool new option.
- It connected to Wi-Fi super easy and stayed connected
- It connected to my computer (Windows 7 machine) effortlessly.
- I love the form factor – it is not too big and not too small, and the flat top screen is stellar.
Initial Things I Hate:
- I am not a fan of the partitioned microSD card, and if you want to use the MUVE Music service, you have to have one of their special microSD cards. This is probably due to the fact that this Android phone supports DRM.
- This Android 2.3 phone does not support flash.
- It does not tell you the charge level on the battery when the phone is off and it is connected to a charger – all you see is a battery filling up with green.
- When you scroll a menu and reach an end, there is a little screen distortion that happens where the edge of the phone turns a bit yellow and there are some "wave" lines. It sounds worse than it is, but it is definantly not "normal". I may contact Best Buy/ Cricket and see if this is something that they expected to happen.
- The Score does have a plastic "ee" feel about the case that makes you think it is a cheaper phone (which it is).
The Sum of the Matter
The ZTE Score has promise. It is very clearly "budget", but it offers nice speed and can handle some games similar phones cannot (like Need for Speed). App storage space is limited — very limited, but you will be able to take advantage of Apps2SD that moves part (not all) of an app to the microSD card.
I will continue to update ya'll on my journey with this phone and hopefully (if I can get the blasted camera to work) post a video showing you its performance abilities.
