I don't miss it...because I play it a lot. I play Colosseum the most of any Pokemon game.
I don't miss it...because I play it a lot. I play Colosseum the most of any Pokemon game.
Well I dont miss it because it isn't old but in 5th gen I will
These are the guardians of my signature. BOW DOWN TO THEM!!!Is it necesarry for me to tell you I collect shinies? So any shiny will be wanted.Current SR: 1800 SRs. Shine. Shine! SHINE!!!
Here's a game I play a lot, My Brute, it's a fighting game. Try it!
My Brute
(Just create a character)
There's also Formula Wan a Formula One racing game
Formula Wan
I don't miss R/S/E, I usually play one of them every few weeks, so there's not much to miss. But, like R/B/Y, I'm sure that I'll eventually get into newer games and begin to play them less and less.
Must. Resist. Rant on why I don't miss Johto (Mainly cause this isn't even the right place, just brought that up cause many other people did.)
I don't miss Hoenn... sure, it's my fav region, but if I wanted to play in Hoenn, I'd go play one of the not remade third gen games.
Guys, try not to say "I miss Johto/Kanto/other region." This is 3rd generation disc and this thread is about Hoenn, not Johto.
Anyways. No, I don't miss Hoenn cause I never really liked it in the first place. Plus I still have my RSE and they still work...
Why does everyone hate Hoenn so much?
I'm wondering the same thing. O___o
I don't particularly miss Hoenn because it's still near and dear, and I play Emerald often. Emerald of course, as it seems with many other of the games, improves on that region immensely, with extra features and things. I always sort of believed that the first two games that come out are teasers and taste tests, so you can see whether or not you'd be interested in what the final version has to offer.
I'm very partial to water pokémon (although there aren't actually many good ones), so Hoenn was wonderful for that. I thought the pokémon deviated somewhat from the original 'feel', but was that bad? And what was original feel? Less intense graphics?
The story line was quite basic, but I figured well, it's aimed at kids, isn't it? Meh. I made exceptions for that. I liked the fact that the Elite Four were actually a challenge (their pokémon were much higher than Johto's), and running around chasing after Latias was fun. Decorating my secret base was fun, and diving around in the abyss just created another level of realism to the pokémon world, for me. I loved it for that.
If only they had more and better Fire pokémon...
But no, I didn't feel there was much lost in Hoenn, save day and night (I loved that feature in Johto). It would've been sheer awesomeness if you could travel from one region to another, but as far as I know, Johto was the only one where that happened.
I will miss Hoenn when it dies entirely, but I'll bet my cotton socks I won't really miss Sinnoh. The pokémon in that just don't sit with me. Especiallly not their playing with the evos of old established pokémon lines.
[.Three: H/Rt-314.]

Hoenn was by far the worst generation. I don't "miss" it, I loathe it.
I miss it but that's because I've been trying not to play them until I finished my first gen games. Just need to get my japanese yellow finished and play through RB and english yellow again before I go onto gen 2 then I'll be up to Hoenn after gen 2.=P
Been trying to complete all my games so it's taking a while.^-^;;;;
Pokemon anime fan.
No. 1 Favourite series: Kanto and Sinnoh dubs.
New personal motto: Don't just talk about it. Just do it!
Pokemon: Season 15 - Rival Destinies: Collection 2 to release 5th June in Australia.
I like RSE(especially Ruby) beacuse of Groudon and Latios xD
What is there to miss? Just because a newer generation has come out doesn't mean that these games are wiped off the face of the earth. You can go anywhere and buy them, they're still circulated, and people still play them. So, I don't miss them, I just play them.
i don't miss hoenn, have it and its probably the worst gen of games. gen 2 owned
Heck, yes!
I can't take Sinnoh and its horrible plot!
Anti-gracefulshipper and proud of it!

I don't miss it. Because I still play it.
Best game, imo.
How can I miss games that I still play all the time? I love Hoenn!
A New Generation
Has Arrived.
Unova rules!
i still have sapphire but i lost my emerald on holiday in wales...
I don't get the whole "Who misses Hoenn" thing. It's not like its gone anywhere. If you don't like diamond, then don't play it. If you want to play R/S/E there is no one stopping you. It hasn't gone anywhere.

Hi everyone, new member here.
I live in a place that used to be full of orchards. Conventional farming depleted the soil until it was no longer viable to continue. As usual, people tried to regroup their money by building houses. I bought a home with a small yard, and I am trying to reclaim the soil so that I can grow my own fruit and vegetables organically--not an easy task.
My home is wood frame with vinyl siding, cement foundation. The yard has a wood fence that is in a cement foundation, and the wood may be impregnated with arsnic to prevent weathering and bug infestation. for sure, the wood is stained or painted. So my question is as follows:
Do the chemicals in the building materials leach into the soil when it rains? If they do, are they absorbed by my* plants and then, when I eat them, by me? This is important because I give a lot of my crops away and I need to be able to tell people if they are organic or not.
Thanking you in advance for any information you can provide, and for any suggestions you might have.
Health and good bounty to us all,

This was passed onto me to share via Occupy Los Angeles PR Team -- please read and post around the internet! -Liz
The Los Angeles City Council voted on Oct 12th to support the Occupy Los Angeles activists congregating downtown. We are very thankful for their support and are encouraged by the good will shown by all City officials and the LAPD in particular.
Regarding what City Hall Support does and does not mean; it means they like us. However it does not mean that Occupy LA was granted the right to have camp tents on the grounds 24/7. City ordinance in fact states that tents must vacate the lawn at City Hall between 10:30pm and 5am. Thus far LAPD has not enforced this ordinance. Their leniency has made the occupation less stressful for many of us. As a result roughly 400+ Occupiers In tents have occupied the grounds around the clock.
Within the last week, in a private meeting with City officials, the Farmer's Market was issued verbal notice, as was Occupy LA, stating that if tents are on the South lawn or blocking the sidewalks adjacent the South lawn (excluding 1st St) the Farmer's market would not be allowed to set-up. The Farmer's Market hours are every Thursday between 4am- 6pm. Obviously this South lawn schedule overlap is a concern for both our awesome local farmers as well as our amazing Occupiers.
Fortunately this past Thursday and option was offered by the City that allowed the Farmer's Market to set-up across the street. It has not been announced by the City if this is going to be an ongoing solution. Occupy LA respectfully request a formal and public statement to clarify the City's position on this matter.
We thank everyone involved in making this a peaceful and safe Occupation.
Buy local!!
-Occupy Los Angeles PR Team

Combines Have Become Cash Registers and Their Value Tainted
April 27, 2012 in Camps-Clinics, Combines by Football NW
Combines Hurt More Then Help
This article is long overdue. And it is not something we take lightly here at WashingtonPreps and OregonPreps. But something has to be said and this is directed at all you parents and kids in the Pacific Northwest who we have covered and tried to look out for and written about tirelessly for 8 years now.
There is a money grab on. And people are after your money first and for most. Many of them don't care what they need to say to get you to come out and compete.
You will be made to feel inadequate, left behind, or left out. You will be made to feel as if you have to go or you will have no shot. And you will be told if you come that "your life can change" and that your fortunes can turn in an instant. But the reality is that almost all of that is about ego and getting you to drop that "C" Note and not about reality.
I am talking about High School Football Combines.
They were once rare to find and few and far between and College Coaches used them for major recruiting events. Those days are over! This year alone there have already been several in the Pacific Northwest and by the end of the Summer there will have been at least 20. The issues at hand as we see them are that these events have lost their cache and their importance. They really have. And if you don't believe that just ask any Coach from a Collegiate program.
"We could care less what a kid gets at a combine because we won't trust those numbers. And that only tells us a little bit anyway. We recruit football players and athletes. Not numbers," said one PAC 12 Coach we spoke to this week. "There is no reason for a parent or an athlete to get pre-occupied with a combine when the job at hand should be keeping grades up and finding ways to get to know collegiate programs first hand. No combine in the world will do that."
Well said. But combines which include testing physical skills like the 40 yard dash, vertical leap, 20 yard shuttle, bench press, and broad jump among other things can be run by anyone and can be quite lucrative.
At a recent combine in the NW 60 plus athletes attended paying over $100 each for a chance to test and compete. That is all well good and fine. But there is another one up the road the week later and two in Seattle a week or two after that and soon there is just nothing but a lot of noise and no one paying attention that can really help the athlete sort out what his options are.
And what of the $6,000 dollars that mostly left town with the promoters? How much of that is retained by the public schools who let their Million dollar fields and facilities be used? Tough questions to ask but they need to be because it appears to be very very little.
So here is what we have to offer into the mix and we feel justified in saying these things because no one has seen this unfold here in the NW the way we have.
What you Need to know about Football Combines for High School Kids:
- There are no Collegiate Coaches at Combines. It is against the rules and regs. The only guys watching you are going to the the same guys charging you money and telling you your special. So take it for what it is.
- Your scores may or may not reported. Everyone claims to send the scores out to Colleges Nationwide but few do.
- Your scores can hurt you more then they help you. You can not control what is written down or displayed.
- If the scores are not reported by a reputable source they will never see the Coaches desk nor should they. They will be treated as SPAM.
- If the meaurments are not down by electronic equipment they can fool you into a false sense of self. For instance a 4.46 on a hand held time is a 4.65 on a laser timer. This is a real problem for athletes that want to know where they stand with other top recruits in the region. Why pay to go to an event that can hurt you in the long run?
- The formula used by almost every Combine and camp group is to host a regional or small market event and then encourage the athlete to come to more and more and more events that will lead up to the Mega-Event at a location where kids from all of these smaller events meet and compete.
- Combines are held normally by companies who lack credentials and business licenses in the location they are holding them in and are held by people in most cases who have not had to endure background checks or scrutiny normally associated with High School Sports.
- MANY OF THESE EVENTS ARE USED AS A WAY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE KIDS FOR ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES RUN BY THE COMBINE GROUP OR THEIR AFFILIATES. THESE EVENTS ARE FERTILE SOIL FOR UNSCRUPULOUS STREET AGENTS TO OFFER YOU OR YOUR ATHLETE THE RECRUITING PACKAGE. But don't worry as you will only have to pay a few hundred or more then likely a few thousand.
Are we saying never go to one? No not at all. Just do not pay very much and certainly take a hard look at what you are going to. By no means does it make sense to go to more and more of these events.
They are what they are; a chance to see how you stack up. But if you have D1 Visions for your future you better get to a Combine or event like the Army All American Combine where you will be judged based on competition against the Nation's best.
Here is a real world approach to this process and how you can help yourself.
- Talk to your High School Coach and ask them for their advice and input. Many of these combines and camps sort of sneak in and out of town and do not even contact High School Coaches as they know they will be run off and unwelcome. Go to Your Coach and Talk! In most cases you will get the straight scoop.
- Get to the NIKE SPARQ COMBINE held at Tigard High School. No one can touch Nike and SPARQ on this front. IT IS FREE!!!!! They use the latest and greatest electronic timers and measuring devices so be prepared. And the event is the best you can go to and we have been to them all. You have a good showing there you will raise your stock. The Nike and SPARQ Staff are the most seasoned and most experienced we have met anywhere and they see the Nation's best every year at these the Nation's biggest and premier events. We are lucky they come here. REGISTER FOR THE JUNE 9th, 2012 Nike SPARQ Combine- Event Right Here.
- If there is a Free event go if you have time. If they are charging much money look at the list of critiques we listed above and ask yourself if alarms are going off. Most likely any of these events will have this effect on you and you should immediately reconsider your next move.
Lastly here is a great perspective we found from a guy named Joe Kenn who is a Dad, a Coach, a long time trainer, and a guy in the sports business.
"My biggest problem with high school combines is they make a tremendous amount of money on parents who aren't truly in tune to a real recruiting process. I overheard several parents talking about attending up to five combines and one of their sons hadn't even played a snap of varsity ball yet. Attending athletes are training specifically for combine tests, and combines are manufacturing results that don't transfer to the game. Players are leaving themselves open to injury by not preparing for their sport. This isn't a words win. You want a words win. Produce solid game tape! I should note that there is one caveat to this. If your son is a blue chip recruit, a specific combine may be needed to provide a shot at the main all-American games that are now played. However, these are generally invite-only combines."
Combines are now a Dime a Dozen, are all about the money for the most part, and they play to the athletes and parents desires and Dreams. The events are not relevant with only rare exceptions. Athletes who are good students and exceptional football players get scholarships. The same guys who have always been at the forefront are still getting the scholarships. No combine will help you be that guy!
Believe me when I say we understand because I did all this stuff with my kids and we chased all these events and went to most of them. After a while few if any stand out as being worth the investment of time and money and we fell into the trap that Joe Kenn talks about above. We had our son train to do well in the combine events and he did that. But the time and money we spent doing that taught him how to do things that college coaches cared little about and that did not prepare him to be a better football player.
In the end the best thing you can do for your kid is get him in front of Coaches who can help assess where you are at and get game film. If you do not do those things you had better be one of the above mentioned natural born Blue Chips.
We are here for you all you guys to tell the world your story better then anyone can through the Nations largest network. But if my words left you turned off then maybe….just maybe… the truth hit home.
Contact me anytime I can help any of you at 503-799-8383 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
All the best from me and the staffs at Oregon and WashingtonPreps.com and the RivalsHigh Network!

Princeton Tec Byte Headlamp$19.95

Best Uses
Comments about Princeton Tec Byte Headlamp: I have four children, I bought two of these and two of Petzl Tikka 2s. Each was the same price. I liked that the PTec had the red light and was more adjustable. However, the on/off switch broke after about 4 months on both PTec headlamps. The light would turn on and stay on. The only way to turn it off was to take out the batteries. The Petzl Tikka 2 is still working like a charm 3 years later.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Princeton Tec Byte Headlamp: I bought the Byte headlamp because I needed a headlamp during our frequent power outages here in north Florida. I also wanted a headlamp to for kayaking so it had to be at least splash-proof. So far I haven't used the Byte on the water but I have used it around the house. The red light is a nice feature when you wake up in darkness and have to stumble around the house but don't want to be blinded by white light. The unit is comfortable enough on the head and the weight is as much as I would want up there. I docked it a star because it can be hard to find just the right spot to push the on/off button. A toggle switch would be easier. Also, you have to cycle through the lights from red to low white to high white and back to off. If you only want red in order to save your night vision then you have to remember to cover the lamp with your hand as you try to switch to off. Other than this gripe it's a nice little tool.
Cons Best Uses Comments about Princeton Tec Byte Headlamp: We needed an inexpensive light for our rescue dogs. It is important that the dogs been seen on the mountain during a search. We have tried all kinds of lights including light sticks, lighted dog collars, pet lights and about anything else we could find. They all broke quickly or otherwise did not work after a short time. The Princeton Tec Byte headlights have worked daily for three months without a problem. We have changed batteries a couple of times, but the red setting lasts forever and has been a great application for our Search and Rescue tracking dogs.

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Oops! The comment above was meant for the Cranberry Pear Sauce.
ReplyDelete Gina, my husband and I have been following you now for a couple of years and you have helped us with our meal planning! Thank you. Would you point me in the direction of a Turkey Soup recipe? We are Canadian and have leftovers, which we made into soup and have frozen, however, we need to point it. It's homemade turkey stock with the fat all skimmed off and turkey with vegetables and some sweet potato. Any idea how I can point?
ReplyDeleteI love your site and follow you on Pinterest as well. I truly appreciate that you have continued to list the Old Points as well as the new PointsPlus system points. I have been a fan of Weight Watchers for years, but I much prefer the old point system. I lost 30 pounds on the old Weight Watcher point system, so I know that one works for me. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes and for helping me to find new and exciting ways to stay on track!

OUTDOOR TRACK: In last event, Middletown jumps to dramatic win
MIDDLETOWN — Tuesday's outdoor track meet with Bristol Central came down to the final event, and the Middletown boys needed a 1-2 finish in the high jump to win and avenge last year's only dual-meet loss.
No problem.
Middletown junior Isiah Swain leapt a personal best (6 feet, 4 inches) and teammate Tim Harvey finished second as the Blue Dragons squeaked out a suspenseful 76-74 win at Rosek-Skubel Stadium.
Wins in the remaining dual-meets (Plainville and Bulkeley next week) would mean Middletown clinches at least a share of their first CCC-South title.
"It came down to the last relay last year, and (Bristol Central) beat us," Middletown coach Jenn Price said. "So to come back and win at our home course — it's amazing. The kids really stepped up."
Swain's high jump was one of three personal bests on the day, including a 41-foot triple jump. Senior Mario Durso also had a personal best in shot put, and DeVonte White took first in that event with a 50-foot, 3-inch throw. Durso won the discus event.
On the girls side, Middletown's Antanisha Outlaw won the 200-meter and earned her best triple-jump distance of the year (35-feet, 3 inches), but Bristol Eastern earned a win Tuesday in Middletown and clinched their own CCC-South title, 112-38.
Middletown will host the Middletown Invitational this weekend at Rosek-Skubel Stadium.

Carlisle's Virgin Train cleaners call off strike after landing big pay rise
Last updated at 12:36, Thursday, 10 November 2011
A two-day strike by train cleaners in Carlisle has been called off after a "groundbreaking" 10 per cent pay deal.
The wage rise victory is being hailed as a fantastic achievement by their union and halts a long-running dispute.
Around 30 cleaners working for the Carlisle Group on the Virgin West Coast Mainline were due to walk out for 48 hours from tomorrow .
Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union officials say staff with Carlisle Cleaning and Support Services (CCSS) just wanted to earn a "living wage".
The RMT executive approved the pay deal late yesterday following talks with the support services firm.
The pay rise will be phased in over the next 10 months, including five per cent immediately.
Craig Johnston, RMT Carlisle-based regional organiser, said they were "absolutely delighted" with the deal that had been struck.
"The figures we are talking about are ground breaking in current economic circumstances," he said.
The deal comes after workers in Carlisle staged a 24-hour strike on October 28, picketing outside the city's train station.
Mr Johnston added: "The solidarity that was shown across the West Coast network when we were on the picket lines was fantastic. Our members have been successful.
"They do a very difficult job, it's a very dirty job and they do it well. They deserve a reasonable re-numeration for it.
"I'm pleased the company has seen sense, they came back to the negotiating table and we got a good deal.
"I've spoken to some of the workers and they are very happy. I'm sure they are going to have a better Christmas."
General secretary Bob Crow praised the courage of the Virgin West Coast cleaners. He said: "We have moved the cleaning contractors from a one per cent offer to a 10 per cent settlement and in the current climate that is a fantastic achievement."
He added that the deal means that since last June, the RMT has moved the cleaner's rate of pay from £5.80 to £7.12 per hour by September 2013 – a 23 per cent increase.
A Virgin Trains spokesman told the News & Star this morning: "We are pleased that this dispute has been settled and there is no longer a threat of further strike action.
"It has been a matter between CCSS as an employer and their employees."
Around 300 workers nationally took part in the industrial action last month affecting the West Coast Mainline.
The workers then took their campaign against the train cleaning company into a new phase, refusing to empty effluent tanks or refill fresh water on Virgin's Pendolino fleet.
Carlisle Cleaning's owner, Impellam Group, part of Lord Ashcroft's business empire, has increased its profits by almost 30 per cent to £16.2m in the past year, says the RMT.

Have your say
A step in the right direction.
could it be that further down the line this "fantastic achievement" that bob crow is crowing about,turns out to be unsustainable,resulting in a reduction in the workforce to pay for it!

"10 Easy Steps to Become an Internet Spammer!"
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. Not only is this a sales-pitch disguised as a book, but also a direct rip-off of "The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich" by Timothy Ferriss. Ironically, the author suggests taking someone's work, adapting it, putting your name to it then selling it online as one of get rich quick strategies.
There is lots of talk about how rich the author is and lots of reference to the programs, webinars, and other materials you can purchase if you sign into his website (membership site). The basic strategy is to sell something online by compiling an email database and regularly spamming them. Oh, and don't forget the up-sell!
The only person getting rich with this book is the author.
Mr Synnestvedt's reading of the book, while technically competent, makes listening difficult as he has the tendency to end every sentence with a slight whine. It is like listening to Truman Capote reading a business book - very distracting.
"Written and delivered in anthesis of Jobs"
I must have quit this book too soon as I seem to missed anything to recommend. The author/narrator's only good advice is to watch Jobs presentations on YouTube and model yourself after him. Unfortunately, the author/narrator doesn't take his own advice and delivers his topic like a healer at a revival meeting. Such basic information delivered like it was manna from heaven - I had to stop listening.
"Interesting topic stretched to fill a book"
Though there is more good than bad in Steiner's "Automate This," there isn't enough to fill a book and so reaches to include the history of computing back to Babbich and Turning. Well told, though occasionally erroneous, the story of a repeating instruction set is given more credibility than the subject deserves. Interesting but lacks the significance that the author tries to give the subject.
"Thought provoking and clearly written"
I was initially concerned by the length of this book, being a sign that I was in for a tedious listen. How pleasantly surprised I was by this clearly written and interesting work. Fascinating look at how similar all languages are and how they evolve over time. Pinker shows that for the human species, language is instinctual. Highly recommended.
"Dreadful delivery of pseudo-scientific speculation"
Listening to this book was like being at a boring lecture of a pompous professor. It is the perfect storm of droning delivery, armchair speculation, and obfuscated writing. At the end of a topic, I would grit my teeth as the author would write "In summary..." as that meant I was in for lengthy, pompous, and obfuscating recap. Add to that the fact that the work is highly speculative with little actual science, this book becomes much work for little reward. I couldn't make it past chapter 7 and should have stopped sooner.
"Interesting topic turned dry"
The Information is a terrific idea for a book. Unfortunately what Gleick has produced is much more like a college professor's lecture notes compiled into book form. Very heavy on the history of information, beginning with the development of language, and continuing to the modern day information technologies. There are no conclusions sought, no parables discovered and no insights revealed, just a retelling of historical progression. Even the long epilogue doesn't really serve to enlighten, more just to illustrate the current developments in information theory and information quantum theory - an interesting topic if developed, but it is mostly elaborately defined.
Only recommended for those an insatiable interest in the topic; everyone else will be put off by the pedantic tone and drone.
"Prepare to have your naivety removed"
This is an important book to understanding the machinations occuring behind the scandals, bailouts, recessions, unemployment and many other factors widening the gulf between the haves and have-nots. The elimination of the middle-class is characterized as the short-sighted goal of the super-rich and the giant corporations.
Very clear enunciation and pleasant tone add to an upbeat performance, which must be difficult considering the breadth of the material and the potentially disheartening information.
The book is so engaging that I would have loved to have listened to this book in one sitting, but it is too thorough and lengthy to accomplish that feat. However, the length of the book should not dissuade anyone from reading it.
Though Stiglitz is not above lashing out at the political right, the financial elite, giant corporations, and military expenditures he provides a depth of facts and examples that support his positions. It is hard to disagree with his position when it is so well illuminated. It will be hard to passively watch the news after reading this book.
"Amazing and thought provoking"
I would definitely read Drift again. So much information about the outsourcing of U.S. military operations and so well presented.
Maddow presents so much information about the politics and corruption involved with military operations, yet she does so without ever becoming cynical and depressing. The occasional "snarkiness" is understandable.
Maddow relates the current use of military power by the U.S. president to the intended controls put in place by the framers of the constitution. While effective in showing how different today's use of war-making power has strayed from its constitutional origins, it creates the false dichotomy of good (original constitution) and bad (current use of military powers). Nevertheless, a fine work.
"Provocative and timely"
Steven Pinker deeply understands his subject matter and is brilliant in conveying it. Fascinating to realize that the world is becoming a less and less violent place - just the opposite of what is shown on tv news..
In his effort to be thorough and completely examine and explain his subject, Pinker is, at times, overly long, and that contributes to the overall length book. Never tedious, Pinker is exactingly and exhaustively thorough.
"Informative but not worth the effort"
I wanted to enjoy this book, but it is like taking a an interesting course where the professor loves to talk - it is very heavy on data, examples, history, asides, tangents, and very light on conclusions, points or meaning. All I can say it is that there is a lot of information provided by Pigliucci, he overwhelms with detail.

Add the flesh of two ripe avocados with ranch mix and a big spoonful of mayonaise or greek yogurt depending on how healthy you want to be and mix. It's delicious. We ate it with chips and it was great. I highly recommend it.

One of my favorite things to do is counsel young HR pros in the Mid-South area; it also happens to be one of my least favorite things to do. That's only because as a passionate HR professional, who believes in following the rules and making workers happy, it surprises me how much information is not being taught to these young HR people. Each time I talk to one of them at some point they say "It's not Rocket Science, it's common sense." And I always reply "HR ain't for suckas either!"
Its seems that "HR is common sense" has become the battle cry for those folks that are in HR but are not equipped the handle the job – its justification for not being formerly educated. I'm convinced that good HR pros are so good because they make it seem easy. Common sense and easy are not the pillars of HR. Real HR is hard, with difficult decisions around every corner. You have to know how to make decisions based on laws as well as what's right for the company. Sometimes those 2 things are correlated and sometimes they aren't.
When it comes to SOME employee relations issues – yes, its common sense. Should you fire someone who is abusive at work? Should you fire a manager and subordinate who engage in an inappropriate sexual relationship? But what about an employee with a substance abuse problem? You may think, fire them right? Well you would be wrong. You may have to offer treatment options first. What about an employee that has lost a spouse or child and they are having a hard time adjusting to the loss? Do you fire them? Or let's say an employee gets injured at home in an accident which was unrelated to work, but now the ability to perform the job is in question? Do you fire them too?
Common Problems Aren't Always Common Sense
Look you are in HR or you want to be in HR – that's cool. It's a great profession. But if you think it's easy then look around because the news is covered with difficult work related issues or ask a senior HR pro – you know, a mentor. Employees are our greatest asset and also our greatest liability. You never know what a person is dealing with and how that pressure could manifest itself in the workplace. There are all kinds of crazy going on at work – from violence to manipulation. You have to be smart and know your laws as well as a measure of common sense. So if you just think you can rely on your gut to get you by in HR…You need to stop – just stop, you don't know what you're doing.

Once returned to Hogwarts after his summer holiday with the dreadful Dursleys and an extraordinary outing to the Quidditch World Cup, the 14-year-old Harry and his fellow pupils are enraptured by the promise of the Triwizard Tournament: an ancient, ritualistic tournament that brings Hogwarts together with two other schools of wizardry--Durmstrang and Beauxbatons--in heated competition. But when Harry's name is pulled from the Goblet of Fire, and he is chosen to champion Hogwarts in the tournament, the trouble really begins. Still reeling from the effects of a terrifying nightmare that has left him shaken, and with the lightning-shaped scar on his head throbbing with pain (a sure sign that the evil Voldemort, Harry's sworn enemy, is close), Harry becomes at once the most popular boy in school. Yet, despite his fame, he is totally unprepared for the furore that follows.
This is a hefty volume: 636 pages, of which probably at least 200 could have been cut without detracting from the story. The weight and complexity of the book is perhaps a hint that Rowling now has her eye sharply focused on her adult audience, and the average child-reader (particularly one who is coming to Harry Potter for the first time) may well find its girth daunting. Rowling's ironic and pointed observations on tabloid journalism and the nature of media hype is just one of the references littered through the book that will tickle the grown-ups but may well fly over the heads of her young fans.
However, after a slow start, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire really starts to sparkle halfway through with Rowling's familiar magic (and yes, there is a death--sudden and tragic--and yes, Harry does start to notice girls). The crux of this story, however, is Harry's gradual coming-of-age and his handling of the increasingly determined threats to his own life.
This book is pivotal, not just for the author for whom the heat is well and truly on, but for Harry and his readers who, by the last chapter, are left in little doubt that there is much more to come. (Ages 10 to adult) --Susan Harrison
Harry begins the 4th years in dramatic fashion, a visit from the Weasley family doesn't quite go to plan, much to the dismay of the Dursley's, but this does not stop Harry from attending the Quidditch World Cup. For the first time Harry grasps the size of the wizarding world he is apart of, realising there must be many other schools all over the world to accommodate all the wizards that clearly must exist. Harry's enlightenment is short lived however, resulting in his trip being cut short, this though is forced to the back of Harry's mind as the elder male Weasley's are being delicately evasive with Harry, Ron and Hermione...
Harry returns to Hogwarts buoyed by his time at the Weasley's and just like everyone else at Hogwarts is instantly fascinated by the prospect of a replaying of an old school tournament played between the 3 greatest European Schools. Each school can only have one champion and to ensure fair play, the Goblet of Fire is used to big the entrants. Does someone have it in for Harry though?
This book really begins to highlight the strengths Harry is developing, highlighting his bravery and loyalty, whilst also showing that at times he is fallible, and when all said and done he is just a 14 year old boy...
The writing in this book is superb, the pace is spot on and although the book is lengthy you will race through it as if it was half the length. I really cannot give this book enough superlatives, the writing of JK Rowling has clearly improved and isn't as simplistic as the earlier books, maybe its because it's the middle book that this transformation has happened, or maybe it's just coincidence but whatever the reason, I am so glad it happened as this book really makes the series so far.
The reason I am writing this was to point out a lot of the little touches that turn the books from great adventure stories into classics. To begin, though, this book is great. I would not agree that it is "too long" and think the criticisms about JK Rowling moving away from her "target audience" are daft. Would these same people cristicise The Lord Of The Rings for not being for the same "target audience" as The Hobit?! Why do we have to think about classic books in terms of "target audiences"? Even The Chronicles of Narnia dealt with gradually more adult themes throughout the books, ending with the death of all the main characters!
Little things that I really enjoyed in this paticular book were...
1. The ongoing love/hate relationship between Ron and Hermione, especially Ron's phrase "Hey Hermione...you're a girl..."
2. Harry and Ron's way of talking about the magical world's equivalent of "gear" i.e the Firebolt's aerodynamic perfection-this is so like some of my best friends that I laughed out loud.
3. The cartoonish world of the Dursleys has been dismissed as "cartoonish" but hey, cartoons are fun, and these episodes of the book really are funny. ("We didn't give it to him because he's a Muggle, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying git!") Without this humour, these scenes could be really quite dreary and void of hope, but we see things through Harry's eyes, and his defence against the Dursleys is to laugh at them.
4. The complex circle of relationships of Harry's parents' friends that emerges mainly in Azkaban, but develops further in this book.
5. Hermione's championing of the house-elves. I don't think it detracts from the plot. I also love the scene in which Winky becomes an alcoholic-very funny.
6. Hagrid's crush, arguement with and later friendship with Madame Malkin.
7. The whole Rita Skeeter thing-a nice satire.
8. One of my favourite scenes is when Harry goes to see Dumbledore and falls into the Pensive. Neville's background is something that most readers, like Harry and the others, would have taken for granted. Good reading.
9. The brilliant ending, of course. Can't wait to see that as a film, if it's well made. It seems silly to see the death of Cedric as a "cop-out"-if anything, the tension between Harry and Cedric over Cho throws Harry's feelings over the death into sharper relief. 10. However probably the thing that made me laugh most in the whole book was the fact that England didn't even qualify for the Quidditch World Cup but "went out to Transylvania in the first round. Bloody embarassing!".
Excellent entertainment, combined with deeper issues. Full marks.

Current Middle Berkshire County Register of Deeds, and Congressional hopeful, Andrea Nuciforo, calls on the Bay State's top attorney to investigate two mortgage lenders for failing to pay state excise taxes. He sat down with our Brandon Walker to explain why.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- "This is millions of dollars."
That's how much Middle Berkshire Register of Deeds Andrea Nuciforo says mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie owe the State of Massachusetts in back taxes.
"They have been improperly and, in my judgment, illegally asserting that exception from the excise tax," Nuciforo said.
That exception amounts to $155,000 since 1991in taxes from Berkshire County alone and $4.2 million from Essex County, Massachusetts.
The backlash, stemming from this lawsuit filed by Oakland County, Michigan in U.S. District Court against Fannie and Freddie. Last month, a judge ruled the mortgage lenders are corporations, and as such, should be required to pay the same excise tax as other lenders in Michigan.
Nuciforo is calling on Attorney General Martha Coakley to do the same here in the Bay State.
Here's how it works. For every deed recorded, you're required to pay an excise tax.Fannie and Freddie, long arguing they're exempted because they're an arm of the federal government.
"Pursue those two companies and make sure that the tax payers of the commonwealth get what they're due," Nuciforo said.
Nuciforo's letter to the attorney general comes as he campaigns to represent the first district in Congress. Despite that, he says, by no means are his political ambitions the impetus behind his letter to the state's top prosecutor.
"Does it send, at all, any message to voters who might vote for or against you?" our reporter asked."No," Nuciforo said. "I think this is really about me performing the functions of the registry."
We contacted Martha Coakley's office to see if they had received Nuciforo's letter.All they would say is that they have and wouldn't comment on the potential for an investigation.

NASCAR Hall Of Fame Highlights Sport's Roots
Inaugural Inductee Junior Johnson donated a unique contribution to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the 150,000-square-foot interactive, entertainment attraction that opened in May 2010 in Charlotte.
Johnson, almost as famous for running moonshine as his racing career, provided the NASCAR Hall of Fame a full-size, authentic moonshine still that is displayed in the pre-NASCAR Theater of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The still, which was built by Johnson, is identical to the stills used by Johnson and his family in years past.
"The still represents many facets of the sport for the NASCAR Hall of Fame," said Winston Kelley, executive director of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. "It helps show a key aspect of the true roots of stock car racing and NASCAR, and it displays the authenticity of the NASCAR Hall of Fame telling the breadth and depth of NASCAR's past and present. We look forward to showing fans and non-fans all aspects of the sport, from its fascinating beginnings to the sophisticated technology used by teams today. NASCAR has thousands of vibrant stories to share, and this story is at the heart of the sport's folklore."
NASCAR Hall of Fame Moonshine Still
Telling these stories was a massive undertaking for the NASCAR Hall of Fame exhibit team. Historian Buz McKim wass charged with uncovering hidden treasures of the sport for display in the facility, which houses more than 40,000 square feet of exhibits and has more than 50 interactive displays. Even as the exhibits were being prepared for display, more great stories were being created.
"As we prepared the artifacts for display, some presented unexpected challenges," said McKim. "That was the case with the still. I called Junior to ask how to connect a couple of the parts of the still, and he just said he would drive down and help out. Sure enough, two hours later, Junior arrives with wrenches in hand and starts installing the still himself and offering direction to our exhibit fabrication team. Those are some of the cool moments of this job that really make you appreciate the people of this sport. Junior is a class act."
Aside from cars and a transporter, the moonshine still is one of the largest historic items in the building. It is constructed of wood, metal and copper and features a cooker, two boilers, a dry barrel, a flake stand, condenser and strainer. The artifact will be on display in the Pre-NASCAR Theater, which tells the story of what led to the formation of NASCAR. It also highlights the history of the automobile prior to the 1948 inception of NASCAR. The Theater is on the fourth floor of the facility in Heritage Speedway, the artifact-rich area of the venue that focuses on the history of the sport.
A North Carolina native, Johnson made his first moonshine run at the age of 14. After years in the family business, he was convicted in 1956 on a charge of producing illegal liquor. He served 11 months in federal prison and years later was pardoned by President Ronald Reagan. It was the decades of running moonshine that led to Johnson's career as a race-car driver, along with many other famous names in the sport.
Despite the colorful upbringing, it was Johnson's illustrious racing career that earned him a place in history as one of NASCAR's five Inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductees. He won the second Daytona 500 in 1960 and was credited for the discovery of drafting on superspeedways. He won 50 races at NASCAR's premier level before becoming a car owner. His success continued as an owner where his drivers won 132 races and six championships. Johnson also was responsible for connecting R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company executives with Bill France Jr., which led to the 33-year partnership of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, predecessor to today's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Local Officials Want State to Address Barnegat Bay Flooding Concerns
Freeholders scheduled to speak with state environmental officials Friday
It seemed like a routine storm. Rain was steady — perhaps heavy at times — but it didn't seem like the precipitation last Wednesday would cause significant flooding.
But it did. Areas battered by Hurricane Sandy, like portions of Silverton and East Dover, once again were under water.
"A full moon and heavy rain — there shouldn't be flooding like that," Silverton resident Stacy Buono told the Township Council this week.
Council President George Wittmann said that reports state 1 million cubic yards of sand were deposited in the Barnegat Bay as a result of Hurricane Sandy. That extra sand could be impacting the water table, leading to increased flooding potential.
"We want the [state Department of Environmental Protection] to look at that and determine what happened," Wittmann said. "They have flood gauges and water gauges in the bay. We want them to examine that and see what the real problem is."
Council Vice President Maria Maruca said that she attended the Ocean County Freeholder's meeting this week where the issue was discussed.
"They will be bringing these concerns, because Toms River isn't the only town. We're seeing this flooding up and down the coast of New Jersey into New York and Long Island," she said.
Freeholder Director John P. Kelly on Wednesday said he and County Administrator Carl Block have a conference call scheduled with Bob Martin, commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Protection, on getting the issue of debris in Barnegat Bay addressed. In addition to flooding concerns, boating safety is also a factor.
"It is imperative that agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of Environmental Protection work in concert to make sure Barnegat Bay is safe for boaters when the warm weather rolls around this year," Kelly said.
The freeholders have been urging action to clean up debris that Sandy washed into the bay, which is believed to include sunken boats, personal watercraft, parts of homes and untold amounts of household items, since November.
Toms River Mayor Thomas Kelaher sent a letter to Martin on Dec. 31, urging action to help protect property owners who are being flooded while attempting to repair their damaged homes.
"Our residents are wondering if this is the "new normal" and are wondering what they should do with respect to the rehabilitation of their homes," Kelaher writes.
"The uncertainty is already delaying our recovery efforts," he continues.
Whatever the solution is, Wittmann said that township officials will request that the state work quickly to remedy the situation.
"If it's dredging, we want that expedited," he said, while acknowledging that the problem likely will not be fixed for some time. "But it's not something that's going to happen in the next couple of months, unfortunately."
"Everybody is well aware of it," Maruca said. "Hopefully we'll have a plan to address that flooding issue."

sad to see that this article mentions half a sentence from me and nothing from the resident who got up and told the council during the meeting that she has no choice but to give the bank her keys. Not surprised we walked away with no timeline or info we didn't already have. Would love to know what residents can do to reinforce how serious this is in addition to ONE letter written by our mayor.

Thank God they are looking itno the recurring flooding issue. As someone who lives in Silverton, it is scary everytime they mention just a common storm now. Let's hope they deal with this quickly.

For every million-dollar oceanfront home with a VIEW (because the owner refuses to sign an easement for beach replenishment and dune-building), HUNDREDS of other homes get flooded, including mine on the mainland in Silverton, near the bay. It's time to use eminent domain for those easements, because their view is NOT more important than my safety and my home.
Please send e-mails to the lackadaisical mayor, the county politicians and Gov. Christie. This high water every time there's a little rain has got to be fixed!

I am happy to see our reps are addressing this concern. It will be a long haul and it is good to know they are bringing up our concerns
