Olive Oil Poached Salmon with Chunky Mashed Potatoes
Poaching fish in water or stock ensures moist, tender results. But poaching seafood in oil
an increasingly popular technique among seafood-savvy chefs
adds a unique, wonderful flavor and richness.
This approach works with Salmon, Halibut, Sablefish, or any sturdy fish. The key is low heat and slow cooking, so that the fillet turns out moist, with a near-flaky texture.
Our fine, full-flavored organic extra virgin Spanish Picual olive oil is the perfect choice, as it will lend aromatic, apple-like flavor notes to the proceedings. (If you prefer, use chicken broth instead of olive oil.)
Serve this recipe with a horseradish sauce to drizzle over the fish and potatoes.
Olive Oil Poached Salmon with Chunky Mashed Potatoes
Prep time 15 minutes
Cook time 25 minutes
Serves 4
4 (6 oz)
wild Alaskan Salmon portions
, 4 (6 oz)
portions, or 4
2 cups
organic extra virgin olive oil
or chicken broth
3 sprigs thyme
1 clove garlic, halved
1 teaspoon
sea salt
Organic black pepper
4 large red potatoes, peeled, cut in chunks
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
Prepared horseradish sauce
Chopped thyme or other
, such as tarragon, cilantro or mint
Place fish in a Dutch oven in a single layer; pour oil (or chicken broth) over fish just to cover. Add thyme and garlic. Gently poach fish over medium heat until just cooked through, about 7‒10 minutes.
Remove fish to a platter using a slotted spatula. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste; keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes; cook until tender, 15 minutes. Drain; mash coarsely. Mash in butter until melted. Stir in milk until almost smooth. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste.
Divide potatoes among 4 plates. Top with fish. Drizzle horseradish sauce over fish. Garnish with parsley or other herbs.

Russian Authorities Investigate Possible Murder In Gardendale
By: Jenne Anderson
Updated: February 18, 2013
The adopted boy from Russia passed away here in his Gardendale home back in January.
But now several foreign media outlets like the Agence France Presse are reporting Russian Investigators claim Max was abused, and murdered by his adoptive mother Laura Shatto.
The Shattos did not want to comment on the situation, but the Kremlin's Envoy for Children says autopsy results show Max was beaten by Laura Shatto, and given Risperdal for several months.
Risperdal is a strong drug used to treat schizophrenia in adults.
The Ector County Sheriff's Department tells us they are actively looking into the case, but do not have the autopsy results that foreign media outlets are referring to.
They also stress that at this time no arrests have been made.
Meanwhile, the Russian Investigative Unit says they are examining the case, and may open a criminal probe after they look at all of the elements to the case.
This isn't the first time that Russia's had problems with adoptions in the United States.
Last December President of Russia Vladimir Putin issued this statement saying that, "The U.S. court system often simply does not react to crimes against adoptees, and frees people who carry out crimes against children from justice."

What did you like about this part in particular? Just out of curiousity.
Mostly the dialogue. I was disappointed when I had to stop in the middle to do something else.
Glad you liked it. Dialogue writing is a strong point of mine. I really enjoyed writing the ghetto bits.
Keep up the good work Stefan- I look forward to every chapter.

Stefan, your ghetto dialogue is awesome! You're a hard gangsta biatch!
Hitman... even better
Though I'd never be able to actually kill Nin. Nobody would
StefanKinoshita said:
Hope you like it. Just a few things.
I know Donyea isn't that ghetto, but it worked for the story. Also, I hope the ghetto speech and description of the projects was accurate. All my information about that kinda thing comes from GTA 4. I live in a village in Britain, it can't be helped.
Adding the scene with the girl was a nice touch. It was a notable, positive aspect of my character which balanced out his fearful and less-than cool way of handling the situation with Stefan. Mainly I'm saying you did a good job of balancing the character.
The "ghetto talk" seemed fine to me, any more specific and it probably would not have come off as well as it did. If there are any more scenes that include me or Donyea I can help you out with a wider variety of slang but I think you handled it well.
Overall good work and keep it up. Also the constant references to the Swedish flag had me cracking up each time, not sure why.
I'm not trying to piss on anyone's parade, but I feel like that 'ghetto talk' didnt seem very ghetto.
I'm sure this is attributed to the unique niggertowns of Michigan having their own ebonics dialect.
The fifth and final part of the epic fanfiction adventure.
City of the Vampires:Chapter 5
On the edge of Sankaku City stood a huge mansion, surrounded extensive grounds that consisted of gardens, sports fields and woodland. High stone walls topped with barbed wire surrounded the entire estate and it was guarded in the day by humans and at night by vampires. This was the house of the almighty leader of Sankaku City, Lord Anti.
A white limousine approached the estate and after a short conversation with the guards it entered coming to a stop outside the front of the house. A human in a chauffeur's uniform got out and moved over to the passenger door and opened it. The Mistress Antika appeared from the back of the car, a stern look on her face and entered the mansion at pace. She stormed into Lord Anti's throne room unannounced and advanced on him.
'You've been keeping things from me!' She yelled.
'Have I?' Said Lord Anti unmoved.
'You told me Stefan Kinoshita was heading for the city, but you declined to tell me that you had taken something from him and that was the reason.' Antika snapped.
'Ah, yes I may have failed me to mention that… but oh wait, I'm the Lord of this city, not you, so I don't have to tell you a thing.' Said Anti with a expression somewhere between a sneer and a smile.
Antika somehow managed to keep her cool. 'What have you taken from him.' Anti smiled gleefully and ushered his guards to bring Meredith forward. 'You kidnapped his adoptive sister?' She gasped. 'This was a trap?'
'Indeed it was.' Said Anti. 'That shit stain of a man has been a mar on the vampire world ever since marched on the Grand Vamparic Palace two years ago and killed our beloved Queen. Today is the day we finish him for good.'
'I don't understand.' Said Antika. 'If this was a trap then why did you make it so hard for Stefan to find you.'
'Stefan Kinoshita is not a man to be taken lightly, if I had simply presented myself to him he would have killed me it seconds.' Said Anti. 'I knew if I hid away he'd find me, in fact I counted on it, but in the mean time Mr. Kinoshita is going to get angry. He thinks I'm hiding, playing games with him and his dearest sister. Anger makes people do stupid things, they make mistakes. Stefan's mistakes are going to cost him his life.'
Pilandi's jaguar sped at top speed to the outskirts on Sankaku City, Stefan at the wheel and Amy in the back keeping watch over Pilandi who was giving directions.
'Its up there.' Said Pilandi. 'But you'll never get past the gate, this place is really heavily guarded. Maybe I could talk…' But Pilandi didn't finish because Stefan slammed his foot down on the accelerator and smashed through the main gate of Anti's mansion. One guard when flying over the bonnet of the car. The rest of the guards fired, but Stefan didn't stop instead he ploughed forward, straight into Antika's limousine which was still parked outside.
Stefan and Amy left the jaguar leaving Pilandi to his own devices. They advanced into the mansion ignoring the approaching guards yelling and firing at them. But then a call came over an intercom, it was Lord Anti.
'Guards stand down. Mr. Kinoshita, please meet me in my throne room.' Followed by directions to the room.
Guards watched warily as Stefan and Amy passed by them. They finally reached the throne room and opened the huge double doors into the room to be faced with Lord Anti sitting upon his throne with the Mistress Antika stood behind him. Meredith was nowhere to be seen. Stefan drew his katana.
'Where's my sister you cowardly piece of shit.' He said, his katana's point against the vampire's neck.
'That is no way to address a Lord.' Said Anti unruffled. 'Time to teach you some manners.' Anti had been right, Stefan's anger had made him make a mistake. In his march toward Anti had failed to notice the guards stationed in the rafters who quickly jumped down and advanced on Stefan and Amy. Stefan swung his katana out catching one guard, but then another grabbed him from behind kicking his legs out from under him forcing him to kneel before Lord Anti. Meanwhile Amy was held back by two guards.
'Much more respectful.' Said Lord Anti. 'My dearest Antika, would you like to do the honours.'
'My pleasure.' Said Antika, fangs beared, her eyes sparkling with glee.
Antika marched forward clamping a hand around Stefan's throat. Stefan felt her hand clamp tighter and tighter he started to feel dizzy then Antika pulled out a dagger.
'No!' It was Amy.
In a second everything changed.
'Amy don't.' Stefan managed to say, but it was too late.
Amy's whole body started to shimmer catching everyone's attention, including Antika who removed her hand from Stefan's throat. What Amy was doing was undoing the glamour, a simple vamparic trick to make people see what the vampire wants them to see. But it takes a very powerful vampire to glamour everyone they meet, in fact to be able to glamour other vampires is impossible… for all except one vampire. The mirage that had been Amy faded and standing in her place was another woman. She was not too different, but this person everyone in the room knew. Queen Uteki of The Great and Powerful Vampire Race, the daughter of the creator of all vampires. The very queen that Stefan Kinoshita had supposedly killed two years ago was standing in Lord Anti's mansion surrounded by the now dead guards. It was just Lord Anti and Mistress Antika now.
'My queen.' Said Anti in shock, getting down from his throne and bowing.
'But you're dead.' Said Antika in shock.
'And who told you that.' Said Queen Uteki. Stefan started laughing.
'But why?' Said Anti.
'You think for one second I liked being Queen.' Said Uteki. 'At the age of seventeen I was turned into a vampire by my father, the creator of all vampires. Made into his perfect vamparic princess. I was just a regular girl before then, all I was interested in was boys and clothes. Then ten years later my dearest father decided he didn't like being immortal and walked out into the sun, killing himself. I had to become Queen and I hated it. I hate this vampire race, its superiority, and its bloodlust. It unnatural, its wrong. So when Stefan Kinoshita and Kudi Chan attacked my palace I took my chance. I begged him to spare me, told him how I felt. I became Amy.'
'You traitorous whore!' Spat Antika.
In a second Uteki was standing before Antika, her hand embedded in Antika's chest.
'That's the second time you've called me a traitorous whore today.' Said Uteki. 'Bad move.' With one quick yank she pulled Antika's heart from her chest. Antika's body started to rot at an amazing pace before becoming nothing but a pile of dust on the floor.
Stefan was on his feet now standing above the trembling vampire Lord.
'Where's my sister!' He snapped.
'In the dungeon.' He said. 'Please don't hurt me.'
'Look after Lord pathetic, your majesty.' Said Stefan sarcastically before heading to the dungeon.
Stefan made his way down into the dank dungeon. The stone walls were cold and the whole place smelt of death. Stefan rounded a corner and was smacked in the face. Standing in his way was Pilandi.
'We've won Pilandi. Stand aside.'
'Not a chance.' Said Pilandi. 'You made a fool of me. I don't stand for that sort of thing.' He then drew a medieval broad sword that was strapped to his waist. 'Back when I was human I was a solider in the Frankish army. Sorry, but you're fucked.'
Pilandi swung at Stefan, but he leapt back and drew his katana. The two swung at each other, dodging and parrying, but then Stefan got the upper hand, throwing Pilandi off balance and driving his sword through Pilandi's heart.
'Say hello to Nin for me.' Said Stefan
Pilandi's eyes went wide. 'But you said you'd spare him.'
Stefan's eyes turned dark. 'I lied.'
Pilandi's body turned to dust in the same way Antika's did, his sword clattering to the ground along with keys to the cells.
Stefan made his way through the dungeon. He finally found her.
'Meredith.' He said unlocking the cell.
'Stefan.' she yelped running into his arms, tears streaming down her face.
He held her for as long as it took her for her tears to subside.
When Stefan and Meredith emerged in the throne room they found Uteki now had Anti pinned against the back wall.
'Can I kill him now.' She said.
'No, there's been enough killing today.' Uteki was about to protest, but Stefan held up a hand. 'I don't want you to kill him. I want you to compel him.'
'No please, have mercy.' Anti whimpered.
'I want you to make Anti take a trip to...' He thought for a moment. 'Uruguay.' He said picking a random country. 'He'll find some vampire bar in some backstreet of some non-town in Uruguay where no one knows who he is and live there until he wishes to meet the sun.'
Uteki focused on Anti and started to compel him repeating Stefan's instructions and before she finished she added. 'Also, you're now gay.' At that Stefan and Meredith couldn't help themselves, they burst out laughing.
Stefan, Uteki and Meredith returned to England. It was never going to be the end of Stefan's adventures though. Uteki reprised her role as Amy, never wishing to be the Queen she truly was.
In Sankaku City, Kudi Chan, always opportunistic took control. Abra C. Advre got laid.
StefanKinoshita said:
Abra C. Advre got laid.
Way too unrealistic
mere said:

That's the comic relief.
My my. Having Nin killed will make you a lot of enemies. I'm sure Mae and Veg didn't like their task.
I'm disappointed not to have a role in the finale, but glad that I now control Sankaku City. Just according to keikaku!
The last sentence is absolutely absurd, and has turned the whole thing into comic farce.
Please don't just focus on the last line guys, it was just a bit of humour.
Please tell me honestly what you thought. I worked hard on this.
I liked the part where antika died.

I honestly lol'd several times for each chapter. It was a highly enjoyable story, and I looked forwards to each new part. If it were made into a film, I'd pay to watch it.
I only wish it had been novel length ;_;
I loved it! It was quite revealing this chapter and full of surprises, love it!
I laughed at the last bits of this, just wonderful :']
And Pilandi and Nin... nooooooooo :<
Though if you were going to go pro ever, you would need to be more descriptive.
I would love it to be a novel length too!

Haha, brilliant! It's not only very well written and entertaining, but also clever. I love it! Too bad it's already over...
I'm divided on this chapter. I liked the general idea, but too much of it was exposition; I assume you wanted to just get it over with, but explaining everything in detail at the very end is cheating. I trust that you'd fix that though if you were to go back and edit the entire thing.
Guess I had that coming for killing y'all. I gotta say, I'm glad I stayed cool 'til I died. And I seriously plan on recording myself growling "You traitorous whore" and use it as a message signal.
BRAVO STEFAN. Looking forward to moarrr.

Nicki Minaj made headlines and caused a few trending topics on Twitter over the past few days when she suddenly deleted her Twitter account.
DETAILS: Nicki Minaj Deleted Her Twitter Because Of A Voice In Her Head?!
With the deletion of her account, Nicki left 11 million loyal Barbz wondering what went wrong, and if their queen would ever come back.
Since she vanished from twitter, Nicki has made a few appearances, looking more colorful than ever, but we're still left with no substantial explanation.
PHOTOS: Nicki Minaj Goes Thriller On These Stupid Hoez!
Our girl Miss Info got the inside scoop as Tim Westwood sent her some exclusive audio clips of an interview he did with Nicki during her trip to London, which will air this Saturday, April 21, 9-11PM (London Time).
Check out all of Nicki's confessions in the transcript of the interview below...
Tim Westwood: We miss you on twitter, baby. We can't stalk you properly when you're not on twitter. We started a trending topic… Here was our hashtag…
Nicki Minaj: (*reading outloud*) #NickiMinajPleaseComeBackToTwitterWeLoveYouAndItIsnt
TM: Are you gonna come back?
Nicki: (*pauses*)….No.
TM: For real? Come on, baby.
Nicki: Tim, I can't.
Tim: We miss you.
Nicki: I miss my Barbs.
Tim: We want you back.
Nicki: (*English accent*) But I can't come back. I just can't. Don't make me, Tim. Please don't.
Tim Westwood: Now Roman Reloaded…
Nicki Minaj: What's really good?

Nicki: And now you got it. You got it.. cruising down like this, know what I'm saying.. in the "Hov Lane"… "Beez In The Trap" (*from here on, Nicki uses her Lil Wayne impersonation voice*)
Nicki: People aren't even giving the kid props for taking it back to the essence… This is my fourth mixtape really. You know what I'm saying. The Kid did like that so she could feed her fans. But really, now the Kid is thinking maybe she should leave the game.

Prior to the purchase of my offset box wrench, my life was fruitless and empty. Now that I have received at least 10 e-mails from Sears asking me to write a review, My life is full and complete with my trusty offset box wrench in my toolbox. As wrenches go, this is the alpha and the omega - the gold standard. Although I originally purchased it to remove a fan from a 1968 Mustang, it has become so much more to me. The wrench and I are now engaged and have set a wedding date in June, 2011. You are all invited.

I needed to get a wrench that would fit in a one by four inch slot to adjust the safety latch on a carbon fiber hood.We had tried flex ratchet wrenchs along with many other kinds of tools,but with no luck.then my son said his shop class at school had some kind of bent wrenches he had used before.So we went to sears and sure enough they had this offset wrench that looked like it might work. If you are not familar with carbonfiber hoods ,they are like fiberglass and for the adjustnent of the latches you only have like a small slot 1"x4"long & at the most 1" to 1 1/2" high for the tool to fit in. We needed a tool that would fit in this area, but also go over the u bolt that had double nuts on it. this 1/2x9/16 offset wrench had just the right amount of bend to fit perfect.I dont think we could of got the job done without it,Well i know we could not have since we tried for two days with every shape and flexable tool anyone sugested. After getting this wrench it took only about ten minutes to do the job.My only regret is that i did not get the whole set of the offset wrenches. Hope this will help some of you save alot of time with your projects.

Syclar - Part 1 - Overview
Syclar sprites by Wyverii. Greetings and welcome! This is the first thread to what I hope will become both a fruitful, informative, and fun side project to our CAP Project. In these series of threads, we'll be finalizing the pre-evos for our Gen4 CAPs; you can read more about the process and rules here. In general, this will follow the format of the CAP Pre-Evo process, but with some slight modifications. This means that there will be public discussions, submissions, and polls for the public to participate in.I'll be heading up this first project on Syclar, the pre-evolution of Syclant. The purpose of this thread is for me to provide an overview of what Syclar's process will look like. Below is a list of the steps I envision happening in this process. While they are not necessarily in order, they are more for the purpose of getting everyone on the same page before we dive in. Your job in this thread is to go back through the CAP Process Archive to learn as much about Syclant as you can. Use both that resource and the CAP site Syclant page to become informed. Also, provide any suggestions and thoughts you have on this process in this thread. If I've forgotten to include something, please let me know by posting! This is not a finalized system; rather, it is a place for us all to touch base and start on the right foot. Thanks for your time. And now for the process: Quote:

I'm a little confused about the artwork session, in the previous thread you said that there would be no new original artwork because the Pre-evos are already established in the community, so if we have art submissions is it going to be submissions of what we already know to be the Pre-evo? So we would just draw the sprite in a different way to solidify it as an art concept? Or would we be making original designs?
As well if we already have art designs then typing is kind of moot for a lot of them because its already clearly established and since these are just for flavour we could skip that step for most of them. Last edited by HLDR; Aug 21st, 2012 at 11:49:49 AM. |

Is this thread where we should discuss the typing of Syclar? Because i think it should be a mono-bug type, and then evolve into an ice/bug type.
EDIT: I looked back over the sprite and i realized it looks kinda icy. i think it should be ice/bug.

All I know is, Bug/Ice is a dreadful typing: 4x weak to both Fire and Rock, meaning it almost has to be put on a rain team to weaken those fire moves and it desperately needs Rapid Spin support to keep Stealth Rocks off the field. Not to mention Bug/Ice has very few resistances - I don't remember what Bug has available (besides Ground and Fighting, the latter of which cancels out a weakness of Ice's), but Ice is only resistant to itself. A fully-evolved Pokemon could swing that type combo, maybe, but definitely Syclant shouldn't have both.
What's the fully evolved thing called again? Syclar? How was it supposed to be used with that typing, anyway? I obviously wasn't here for that one's design. I like how Syclant looks, though. Cute little bug. Kinda.

O' Dharma! The world is filled with light...
Yeah, unless we give it some REALLY optimal stats and/or tail glow, Syclar is sadly going to be completely outclassed by just about every other attacker in LC.
Still cute as hell though, but it's probably going to wind up being the Syclant of LC CAP (which is funny since its Syclant's pre-evo) Since we're discussing typing next and this thread's pretty much a general overview, I believe that while for a competitive standpoint its pretty much suicide, from a flavor standpoint I don't see how we can do anything other than ice/bug. I mean look at it, its very clearly a bug and it has a chunk of ice sticking out of its ass.

this cannot be stressed enough. When we create a CAP for competitive reasons, we have many things that this prevo project doesn't - chief among them, a concept, stat ratings, and a solid grasp of the metagame. When we do Prevos, all the competitive mumbo-jumbo goes out the window. We may do an LC CAP later, but that's not what these prevos are going to be With that in mind, I don't picture Syclar changing much when it evolves into Syclant. There are tons and tons of pokemon that don't get a new typing, or new abilities, or what-have-you when they evolve and I think Syclar should be one of these. What I picture is walking along Route 216 and chancing upon this cute little bug that lived its entire life in the mountains, learning how to survive by hiding in rocky crags n stuff. I think Mountaineer/Compoundeyes is just as good an ability set for Syclar as for its evo, and that Ice/Bug is a perfectly good typing as well.

That is a good point Pwnemon. Most pokemon don't change much, so maybe Syclar should be a lot like Syclant. I just thought it'd be cool to have this cute little bug type evolve into this awesome looking pokemon with an awesome unique typing that is just awesome. Did I mention awesome yet? :P

@Birkal, I totally agree with the steps that have been laid out. Shouldn't take that long to sort out most of the basic stuff :) EDIT: Also; one of the links in the OP is wrong ;) Normal Users can't access that Syclant page you linked.

After looking over Syclant a bit a definitely have to agree with pwnemon and DHR, especially on DHR's comparison to Joltik/Galvantula. Syclar really seems like a Pokemon that is cute and uniquely typed, but is really just a smaller weaker version of its evolution. Outside of scaled down stats and movepool, I personally don't think much will need to be changed.

I have to agree with everyone else, the Syclar/Syclant line is pretty much the same as the Joltik line, the Squirtle line, or the Totodile line. Each evo just gets better stats and looks more like a badass.
EDIT: How does Syclant/Syclar NOT get Rock Climb!? They have Moutaineer and live on mountains! This is a flavor mistake that needs to be remedied!

I feel as though the Attack, Special Attack and Speed on it can be bumped up a little seeing the large bump with only 1 evo looks "unnatural" for a pre-evo pokemon that evolves into a fast mixed attacker. I was trying to think as non-competitive as possible when typing this.

We have the technology.
People frequently talk about CAP being "ahead of its time" when it comes to creation. The most notable example of this would probably be Colossoil, with it being both a better Krookodile and with Rebound's similarity to the new ability Magic Mirror. There are other instances of this in CAP, and I think this might be one of them. I'm digging the Joltik / Galvantula example quite a bit. Originally, I was kind of stuck on Larvesta / Volcarona, but I don't think its movepool emulates anything plausible for Syclar / Syclant. Larvesta's large investment in physical attack also strikes me as something Syclar might not necessarily have.
While using Gen5 examples is good, I'd also encourage you all to look into some Gen4 and before examples. Skorupi / Drapion comes to mind, despite the different typings that they both exhibit. I also am a little partial to Anorith / Armaldo since the pre-evolution echos the large attack stat of the evolution. I could envision a similar layout for Syclar: boosts in offenses that lead to even higher boosts on offense as an evolution. They'd probably need to be toned down compared to Anorith's base 95 Atk, but I like that general idea. In terms of fragility, I don't envision something as weak as Combee, but I wouldn't push the envelope too much farther. Just my thoughts. DHR, jas, and Pwnemon got it right. While there is an official design for Syclar, there is no official artwork that looks finalized and follows our artistic rules. I'd be great to get some artwork pumped out for that! In terms of a Little Cup CAP metagame, it is definitely implementable on Pokemon Showdown!; I've chatted with either bmelts or Zarel about it. We'll see how well this process goes. If it goes well and we end up with something desirable, I'd be all for it! |

Just a note about the stats (assuming everything here is pure flavour AND this is the right time to talk about this). The current spread feels way too low, since 277->555 is an enourmous jump. Comparing with Larvesta->Volcarona (360->550), and taking into account that stat increases tend to be quite regular (I think?), I propose something like 50/76/50/74/44/81 = 375 (-180), where HP and Defenses are 20 points lower than Syclant while Attacks and Speed are 40 points lower. There might be other more balanced ways (simply -30 to everything?) but a basic Pokémon with these offensive stats looks already somewhat iffy flavour-wise (there's Monferno, but he's a stage 1).

In regards to CAP LC, I love the idea, and I think Syclar would be amazing. 14/13/16 offenses uninvested! I'll run some calcs later. Also, its defenses are 21/11/11 uninvested, which, obviously, can be boosted by Eviolite. Not too shabby for an offensive mon.

I super do not want a CaP LC... What's the point? CaP itself isn't played as much as we want, who is going to play CaP LC? This is for flavour...
On another note, I've been looking over the other bug types which evolve just once. Volcarona is the only bug that even comes close to Syclant's BST. There are a few which hover around 500 (Yanmega, Accelgor, Escavalier, Armaldo and I guess Drapion) and the difference between their prevo in terms of BST ranges from 125 (Yanma -> Yanmega) to 190 (Shelmet -> Accelgor and Larvesta -> Volcarona). Discounting Yanma as it was supposed to not evolve; most of the dual stage Bug types gain around 150 to 200 BST points. I didn't include Scyther in this as he has the same BST as Scizor. Baring that in mind, Syclar should probably be around 350~400 BST which is pretty strong for a first form. Anorith and Larvesta just scrape into this zone (355 and 360), with Yanma at 395. Weirdly, Mothim has similar stats to Syclant (70/94/50/94/50/66 compared to 70/116/70/114/64/121). Burmy however, doesn't really allow for a reasonable guess at prevo stats. I think I've gone a little off topic lol... But it was interesting to have a poke around at the other Bug types and see how they compared. In terms of raw power, nothing really comes close.

You belong in a museum!
I would also like to suggest a Shelmet/Karrablast sort of thing wherein the Basic is vastly different to the Stage 1. While in these two lines the offensive capabilities remain largely the same, the Speeds and bulk are changed greatly (Escavalier in particular becomes a goddamn TANK, going from 50/45/45 to 70/105/105).
Perhaps in terms of flavour, to survive in the mountainous areas, Syclar typically remain only in caves, constantly motionless, waiting for nutrition to be delivered by mother Syclant? They would cower and need to protect themselves from natural predators as they cannot fight for themselves. I'm thinking Shuckle-eqsue stats? Just throwing that out there. |

While I still love the whole Joltik/Galvantula comparison, another, different type of model I have been thinking of as a possibility would be to follow a Kricketot/Kricketune type evolution. Now obviously Kricketune is statistically quite different than Syclant, but they do have a similar basic style, being vey offensive oriented (for their BST), and quite frail. Additionally, looking at thew two design wise, both go from quite compact, small bugs to large creatures with much more expanded and detailed features, especially on the extremities, while still retaining the same basic body shape.
If we were to use Kricketot as a model, then on the statistics end, it would probably mean significant drops to both offenses and speed. Defenses would also fall, but not nearly to the same extent, possibly making it as bulky or more so than some fully evolved bugs. The only real part of this comparison where I feel it doesn't really work is in the movepool. I mean, to call Kricketot's movepool lacking would be an understatement, and Syclar already is guaranteed a better movepool than it from its egg moves alone. However, I do not believe a model like this would require us to try and completely gimp it it the movepool department. It already will have a few nice moves, so giving it a few more is fine, but we could keep the overall pool very small to give it that weak bug feel. Interestingly, going back to stats for a second, Kricketot jumps up 190 in BST when it evolves. While that doesn't mean following a similar pattern would forces us to drop that much from Syclant, it certainly gives us a lot of room to work with. While I'm still not sure if I prefer this to the previously presented simply approach of just scaling everything back like Joltik, I do think it is a very viable alternative.

Everyone seems to be focusing purely on the Bug typing for how Syclar should be, while ignoring Syclant's Ice typing. Since DHR decided to show the BST difference between the Stages of 2 Stage Bug Pokemon, I decided to do the same for 2 stage Ice Pokemon.
Starting off this with the only Gen 5 Pokemon on this list is Cubchoo/Beartic. Cubchoo has a BST of 305, while Beartic sits at 485, which is a difference of 180. Abamasnow has 494 and Snover has 334, for a difference of 160. Jynx is at 455 and Smoochum is at 305 for a difference of 150. Snorunt's BST is 300, while both Frosslass and Glalie have 480, for a difference of 180. Sneasel has 430, which is so high for a Stage one because it was made to stand alone, while Weavile is 90 points higher at a BST of 510. Shelder and Seel gain both an Ice type and 220/150 BST respectively wheen they evolve. The last Pokemon that I feel the need to mention is Swinub. While it is technically a 3 Stage Pokemon, it was introduced as a dual-stager, so its stats should reflect that. Swinub has a BST of 250 and Piloswine's BST is 450, which is a difference of 200.If you average all of those differences it comes out to 166.25, so let's say 165. If dual-stage Bug-types usually have a BST difference of 125 between forms like DHR says they do then Syclar and Syclant should have a BST difference of 145. Syclant's BST is 575, and the total of X-Act's stat spread is 277, which is 298 BST lower, which is much too low. Sticking strictly to averages would put Syclant's BST at 130, right there with Sneasel. However, given that the difference between Sneasel's BST and Weavile's BST is only 90, maybe a BST around 375 would fit Syclar better. If we follow Jas's Kricketot model for Syclar's bug portion, however, then the difference between stage one and stage two is about 175, which would put Syclar's BST at 400. Using the result of both models gives us a nice range for Syclar's BST: 375 - 400. Of coure, all that I've really proven is that the (35/58/35/57/32/60) spread is drastically underpowered. |

Starfing with Harvest
I think that you both have proven that there's a lot of wiggle room as far as BST is concerned. I believe one of you mentioned something about Syclar waiting for a Syclant to bring them food. This would work off of a rejected dex entry. "SYCLANT blah blah bring food to their young"
So... Syclar dex. "SYCLAR live in burrows at mountain peaks. When their mother arrives with food, they all light up with joy." Thoughts?

Their World
EDIT: I was talking to people about how it would evolve earlier. There were a fair range of levels and ways put forward. I was surprised how small Syclants Lv up move pool is more than anything. It'll be difficult to try and take some things out for Syclar imo. Syclar with Ice Punch doesn't really seem right :P

I could see Syclar evolving at level 30 and learning Ice Punch upon evolution, like Thunderpunch for Ampharos, Icicle Crash for Beartic and Dizzy Punch for Reuniclus. The rest of Syclant's level-up movepool seems fine for Syclar, with maybe the possible exception of Fury Attack.

In regards to its typing, who says it has to be mono-Bug or mono-Ice? Using Surskit and Masquerain as an example, the unevolved pokemon does not necessarily need to have the same dual typing as the evolved pokemon. Scyther/Scizor is another example of them not sharing the same dual types (although, admittedly, that family has a good reason). Nincada and Ninjask/Shedinja.
I am not suggesting that Syclar and Syclant should have different typings. Rather, I am suggesting we should not rule it out. |

Obama Calls On Naval Academy Graduates To Help Put An End To Sexual Assault In The Military
Not exactly a feel-good commencement speech from the Commander-In-Chief
Not exactly a feel-good commencement speech from the Commander-In-Chief
"This is not some major scandal in the order of magnitude like Watergate. That's absurd" says Rep. Gerry Connolly. Republicans promise to keep the pressure on the Obama Administration.
"He's just gotta be called what he is. That simple."
"I'm not blocking it, they are!"
"Weiner slap."
"The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to." Code Pink's Super Bowl.
Medea Benjamin interrupted President Obama's speech on drones Thursday afternoon. This is not the first time she's done something like this.
Advocates — and the bill's lead sponsor — had hoped the chairman would consider the bill, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, in his committee in May or June. It won't happen until "probably after the Fourth of July break," Iowa's Tom Harkin says.
"I'm willing to cut the young lady who interrupted me so slack, because it's worth being passionate about."
The brochure, the logo, the video of his mother, the love of "stickball," and the sort of subway sound at the end of his videos are all ideas from his 2005 run for mayor worked into his new campaign.
Libertarian Lady Killer.
The divided conference unifies in the wake of Washington scandals — but how long can it really last? "I think there's a little spring in our step these days, but the real test will be the debt limit," says Hudson.
The disgraced former congressman says he's apologized to his wife "many, many times," and he'll apologize to voters, too. "I know that part of this process is going to be doing a lot of apologizing."
"If he only does a half-measure or doesn't come through, it would be very hard for him to have an excited base," Radford says.
Has an overly-aggressive White House Counsel's office gotten Obama into trouble more than once?
"If we lose the constitutional foundations of a free press in this country, tyranny is at the door. Obviously I am very concerned about that," Rep. Trent Franks said.
A controversial son of Venezuela's elite brings a Cold War sensibility to the chaotic 21st century. "I'm not washing my hands here," says Thor Halvorssen.
"It was a screw up that I'm not proud of."
When heading the FEC's enforcement office in the late 90's, the beleaguered IRS official was accused of failing to investigate a Democratic fundraiser. "When it recommended not pursuing the allegations against Mr. Glicken, the FEC staff specifically cited his close ties to the Vice-President, Vice-President Gore," Dan Burton (R-IN) said at the hearing.
There's always money in the House Ways and Means Committee.
"Sometimes we don't have the answers and sometimes we need to go back and get them."

Mary Weime Shea Producer, Damango |
   Click for     more Photos |
Mary Weime came to Damongo from Navrongo with her husband to farm in the late 1970s. Before coming to Damongo, Mary had not worker collecting Shea nuts. Her family now use this source of earnings to subsidize their income. Mary has given birth to seven children, two girls and five boys, two of her children died young. She is also a proud grand-mother of one young grand-daughter. Mary began working with the Damongo Christian Mother's Association, and their Shea butter initiative shortly after arriving in the Northern Region. Working with CMA and their partnership with Global Mamas, Mary has been able to earn a fair wage, above the national minimum. She hopes to use this improved and stable income to help pay for education for her younger children and grand-daughter so they may attend and complete school. Mary was unable to finish her schooling as a young girl, and left after third grade. With the combined efforts of the Damongo CMA, Naasakle, and Global Mamas to complete the process of achieving a Shea butter with Fairtrade and organic certification, we are working to provide a still higher 'living-wage' so women like Mary do not have to worry about education and well-being of their children.
Result: With the help of Global Mamas:

Name: Scott Needham
Age: 31
Address: 115 W. Main St.
Previous Political Experience: none
Community Involvement: He is a member of the Pilot Mountain Area Business Association, is a royal ambassador leader at the First Baptist Church of Pilot Mountain, a member of Pilot Mountain Tourism Development Authority (TDA) and is the vice president of the Pilot Mountain Civic Club.
Family: His parents are the late O.M. Needham and Linda Needham.
Occupation: Owner of The Living Room coffee shop and is a production manager for the Twin City Stage.
Education: He is a 1999 graduate of East Surry High School and he graduated from Western Carolina University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in theater arts and communication. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 2006 with a Master in Fine Arts.
1. Why are you running for commissioner?
Answer: To get more youth involvement in town. I want to work with the civic organizations in town and get them more involved in business. I feel like with my capacity with TDA, I want to push forward with the idea of having public restrooms in Pilot Mountain. I would like to see different civic organizations have events together. I would like to see them all on the same page. I feel that's really important.
2. What could the town be doing to stimulate economic development that it isn't doing already?
Answer: We are already really involved with Surry County Economic Development Partnership in the county and I know that we, as a town, go to a lot of those events.
3. What do you think the town should do to get its financial problems under control?
Answer: We need to make sure that we are spending more wisely. They have already raised the water rates, which helped balance out of the general fund, so we just have to keep strong because we should have our debt paid for in the next five years. That will really help take a burden off the town. The most important thing is to get more businesses and residents in town. That would help offset water and tax increase. We have enough water. The problem is getting it to people. The town has grants to expand our water supply to different areas. We need to be on the lookout for businesses looking to relocate here. I think if we get the civic organizations involved in government, more people will feel empowered in what the town is doing. The TDA is going to pay for the architect to design the restrooms and the civil club and Mt. Pilot Now are willing to pay for the public restrooms so we don't have to rent as many port-a-johns. This helps business so they don't have to have people come into their stores to use the bathrooms. It sends a message to our citizens, our visitors and business owners that we care about them.
4. What are your goals if elected?
Answer: I want the town to become a place that is full of life and vibrancy. The great thing about the town is that you can go out anytime and be safe. It's a peaceful and a beautiful town. My goals would be to attract businesses and residents to town by beautificating the town and bringing the town up-to-date with their regulations. We need to allow more events downtown, which will bring more business to downtown. Visitors are tourists are potential residents and business owners. We need to get more involved with civic leaders and event planners that do things that help business. It will bring more residents and businesses. Another thing is the mountain — I would love to see a trail between the mountain and the town. I know they are working on that now, but when one of your greatest tools is a natural landmark, then you have to think about the people in our community and the type of town you want. I'm tickled to death that we have recycling now. That makes our community more sustainable and conscientious. We need to save our resources, not with just water and electricity. We can also be more effective with our tax revenue and our spending.
5. What do you like best about Pilot Mountain?
Answer: I love the small town atmosphere. I love the people. I always knew it, when Erin (his girlfriend) moved to town, she was saying how friendly everyone is. There's not a lot of congestion. I love that we are so close to nature. The mountain and beautiful rivers and wildlife — the Blue Ridge mountains — that's a lot of reasons people come to town. The Armfield Center is great. I think a lot of people realize how important it is that we are able to have an indoor swimming pool. Now we have the Pilot Center where the Surry Community College distant learning center is housed and Pilot Mountain Pride — there are so many wonderful things going in our community.
6. Do you see any problems with the town? And if you feel there are problems, how do you plan to fix them?
Answer: I feel like that we need to revisit some of the codes and regulations in town so people can improve their buildings without a lot of hassles. I feel like that we are going in a really good direction with the events we have in town. We need to be able to grow. With the pedestrian walking plan, that's very important so that we know what our goals are in the future. We need to keep that momentum going. This is a place to enjoy and be a part of.
One of the biggest problems in town is the lack of youth involvement. At the debate I asked the audience how many people that are in civic organizations if they have three or more people between the ages of 20 and 30 to raise their hands. There wasn't a single person that raised their hand. That is amazing to me. At events, I'm always the youngest and I'm 31. It's horrible that we don't have our young people more involved. There are many reasons the youth don't feel like they have a voice or their opinion matters. I guess they are waiting for somebody else to change the world. If they don't like the way things are, they need to show up. Showing up is 75 percent of it.

Even if you've never written a line of code in your life, you can help make things better for everyone simply by using our special bug-hunting packages. We currently offer instrumented versions of Evolution, The GIMP, GNOME Panel, Gnumeric, Liferea, Nautilus, Pidgin, Rhythmbox, and SPIM. Download at <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/>. We support PackageKit, yum, apt, and many other RPM updater tools; see <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/repo-config.html> for customized configuration help for any of our supported distributions and updater tools. Or just download and install <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/rpm/fedora-14-i386/R...> to automatically configure most popular RPM updaters to use the CBI repository. It's that easy! Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! The more of you there are, the more bugs we can find. We still offer CBI packages for earlier releases as well, going all the way back to Fedora 1. When and if you decide to upgrade to Fedora 14, we'll be ready for you. Until then, your participation remains valuable even on older distributions. -- Dr. Ben, the CBI guy -- announce mailing list email@example.com https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/announce

I don't actually believe there are ten million people playing WoW. Part of that count are people with a one year sub to Wow because they wanted to get Diablo 3 for free, and that annual pass thing has artificially inflated the number of players. And I know people who don't play but keep their subs up, just to hang out with people from their guild, who they wish would leave. Ten million people probably aren't playing WoW. In fact, it was down to just over 9 million before the new game came out and in three months it will probably drop under that.
But you see a successful business model that hit at the right time and place might not have been successful if it hadn't, and there's no possible way you can prove that it would have. And it doesn't matter if WoW invented gear grind or depended on it. The fact is, no other game type is subscription based, so no one COULD HAVE earned the money WoW had. So developers see $$$ in their eyes, and they copy. But the time and place are gone and no one has the success WoW did.
Does that mean that WoW is automatically better than every game that came after it, or does it mean that people have time invested in that game and don't want to start over, or does it mean that people are tired of that crap and want something new, but no one can provide it because it's too big of a risk.
You're condescending answers to what I'm saying don't make you right. You can explain it to me as simply as you want, and I'll still disagree, because I don't agree with you. And contrary to popular belief, I can think for myself and had many of these ideas long before Guild Wars 2 was even announced.
I don't CARE who invented gear grind, it's not relavant to the fact that its' pretty much fucked over the genre. And I'm not the only person who feels this way.

Our recent January version of freeway bumper cars -- triggering more than one multi-car pileup -- has resulted in a lot of finger pointing looking for someone or some organization to blame. A perfect combination of road surface temperatures, precipitation, and traffic density made for a frightening and potentially-lethal morning drive.
But no matter what the road or traffic conditions, the driver is the ultimate source of responsibility for maintaining control of his or her vehicle.
Here are a few tips to avoid the next perfect storm on your drive to or from work:
1) Colour Check
When you're on a multi-lane freeway travelling at speed, it's unsafe to tap the brakes or try a lane swerve to test your tire's traction. You need to use your other senses to glean a clue of what's happening to the road surface.
If the pavement has gone white or light grey and you can see water spraying off the tires of the vehicles around you, you're rolling on a surface just as dangerous as black ice; polished snow. Keep in mind both these road surface coatings may only appear on certain sections of the highway but they usually form first on bridges or overpasses.
2) Listen
In winter, we seem to love to wrap ourselves in our rolling steel cocoons and crank the radio and heater up and dream about a southern vacation rather than concentrate on the roads. Crack one or more car windows just a touch so you can hear what's happening. Listen to hear if your tires are on a dry surface or if you're rolling through water.
At intersections, being able to hear clearly can pay off if a vehicle is approaching from outside your sight line, or if a pedestrian is trying to get your attention. A snowy commute is a great reason to lower the radio volume, turn off the cellphone, and focus on the conditions around you.
3) Easy On The Brakes
If your vehicle isn't equipped with anti-lock brakes, locking up the front wheels is very easy to do on black ice or polished snow. As long as your front wheels are locked you have absolutely no steering control and your vehicle is headed wherever it's pointed.
Pump the brakes if you're headed for a pileup on slippery surfaces and look for a clearing or safe spot and stay focused on it. Your hands will automatically steer in the direction you're looking towards during a panic stop.
If you have anti-lock brakes, don't forget you can continue to steer while in a full-on hard braking event. Many drivers forget this and it's a good idea to practice on an empty snow-covered parking lot to get a feel for your vehicle's characteristics when the ABS comes on.
4) Distance Is Best Defence
If you're travelling so close to the vehicle in front of you that you can't see the bottom of their rear tires, then hand over your licence and take the bus.
Tailgating is a major cause of collisions during good weather and it's absolutely insane when winter has us in its grip. If you're not sure of the traction conditions then leave a good number of car-lengths between you and the vehicle ahead.
If you're being tailgated, pull over and let the bonehead pass and smile and be smug knowing he or she will be less likely to arrive in one piece than you.
5) Clear The Decks
All that loose gear, office stuff, hockey gear, all those shoes, boxes, empty drink containers are just so much cannon fodder in the event of a collision. When your vehicle comes to a sudden stop from 80-100 km/h due to a collision, all that junk in your car will be heading for you at 80-100 km/h.
Your vehicle's engineers did a thorough job designing and building the latest airbag and collision-protection systems, but all that high-tech stuff won't do anything to save you from a hockey skate headed for your noggin' when you rear-end a large truck.
Put your junk in the trunk -- including the ice scraper and snow brush. If you don't have a trunk (think SUV or minivan) then store it at home.
6) Winter Tires Are For Winners
Saved this tip for last because if you haven't learned by now that winter tires on all four wheels are the best way to stay safe on winter roads, then the good folks who run the buses have a seat with your name on it.

Johnny Cash may have preferred this galaxy's burning ring of fire to the one he sang about falling into in his popular song. The "starburst ring" seen at center in red and yellow hues is not the product of love, as in the song, but is instead a frenetic region of star formation.

GelPro® Original Gel Filled Anti-Fatigue Cordoba Mat - Truffle
Disapointed Gel Pro Customer
After purchasing a 15"x35", Khaki,item # 297917 for $100.00 at BedbathandBeyond aproximately 24 months ago the Cordoba "durable, synthetic cover material" started cracking. It should be noted that there was no harsh chemicals applied to the gel matt during cleaning. Although we found the Gel Pro Mat to be enjoyably confortable under foot it was not worth the $50.00 a year. ROI (return on investment).

Good investment
I have had one of these mats for a few years. It is SO comfortable to use and is wonderful to have on tiled floors! Yes, it does "slip" a bit (gradually) and I wish that it did not. But the anti-fatigue factor is worth the price! btw, I have used the less-expensive, non-gel-filled mats and they are just NOT as good - and they ALSO slip.

think it depends on the type of floor you have
I purchased two of these mats for our kitchen, which has wood floors. They are very comfortable to stand on, but they slide around usually towards the bottom edge of the cabinets. Then your heels hang over the back of the mat, because they are not very wide. I tried putting those grip pads between the mats and the floor and they help a little. If these mats could be built so they didn't slide, they would be great. As it is, I would not recommend them to anyone with wood floors. I don't know how they work on any other surfaces, but due to their expense, I would be check them out before purchasing.

love this mat
I bought this mat to use next to my kitchen island. I can stand on it for hours without foot pain. I love to bake and cook, but hard floors used to bother my feet if I stood for more than an hour or so. These are a God send....I know they sell similar items at other stores at a cheaper price, but I would probably purchase this one again - it is that good.
