Excellent beer, smooth and refreshing. Great head, excellent pour. Great taste, rich chocolate notes, not overly sweet. No aftertaste. Very cold mug insures solid taste for the whole bottle. My favorite brew with dinner, and my favorite hang out brew. All my buddies love the beer, and I love to give it as a gift to beer drinkers who want to try a
New beer.

A solid, very creamy tan head sits on top of a dark brown brew containing ruddy highlights. It's thick and gives the impression of being opaque though it isn't. The head, almost reaching one finger, remains dense and doesn't fade beyond a foam thick enough to keep a solid blanket that doesn't dissipate further. Patchy lacing clings to the glass.
The aroma is sweet and earthy, with a molasses note that seems very much like blackstrap more than anything. It gives off just a touch of something like black licorice. Everything translates pretty exactly to the flavor. Malt-forward for sure, the cocoa promised is evident, and it sits over roast, a light touch of smokiness, molasses and a smooth creamy note without overpowering them. There's some toffee and maybe a hint of dark fruits, something like chicory lurking underneath. All in all it melds well and makes for a nice profile.
t first it seems it's not a particularly big stout, but it does end up having quite a bit of heft. The body is full and rich, with a good creamy bulk to it. It's fortunate that it doesn't sit to heavy, and I think a good balance is struck in the feel as well as in the other aspects. The combination of thickness and sweetness tends toward a sticky feel, but it's ultimately kept in check.

12 oz bottle, no date
pours black, with thin off-white colored head that fades quickly. not a huge aroma, but increases a bit as it warms. a bit of sweet chocolate. taste is not roasty, but not sweet either. mild tastes of bitter cocao and burnt sugar. medium body - medium to higher carbonation. could be thicker.
overall - okay, but certainly doesn't live up to the "loco" chocolate level in my opinion.

12 oz.
Pours jet black, half inch tan head retains well.
Smells of milk chocolate and caramel.
Chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, and toasted bread are all notable in the flavor.
Medium to full body with light carbonation on the roof of the mouth.
Really flavorful and tasty stout, good rich character, definitely worth trying and I would have it again.

12 oz. bottle, with a vague remnant of a bottled on date which I think reads Bottled 09/25/2012. I have had plenty of Arcadia beers in the past, but this has not been one of them. The second beer by Arcadia that I am reviewing here on BeerAdvocate.
Poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.
A - Fairly non-aggressive pour yields an opaque black colored body with a tiny thin mocha colored foam which disappeared pretty instantly. No real lacing to speak of.
S - Can definitely smell some cocoa. Dried dark fruits, and a bit of alcohol presence. Burnt brown sugar. Molasses. Vanilla extract. Smells pretty nice, but it could have more going on.
T - Cocoa. Brown sugar. Vanilla. Chocolate cake kind of taste. Tastes like desert in a bottle to me. Decent amount of carbonation, pretty well-balanced. A tasty stout, but there should probably be more going on considering what went into this one.
M - Creamy, milky, subtle cocoa flavor leaves a dry powdery finish on the palate.
Overall, I'm impressed, and it is definitely a beer I'd drink again. The first stout I've tried from Arcadia, and a dangerously drinkable one at 7.00% abv. Arcadia does good things, and I should probably be picking up their stuff more often than I am. A solid stout.

Bottle poured into a snifter glass
Pours a dark black with a brown head that tends to linger a bit.
Smell is sweet and roasty with a hint of chocolate.
Taste is very sweet almost syrup like. Hints of the chocolate and almost a dark fruit flavor.
Finish is a bit biting with the chocolate and sweetness.
A interesting try but not hitting the mark for me.

Poured like a stout, thick and black with a nice khaki head that stayed for a minute or two. The scent is weak, a bit of malt, a bit of Graham cracker, even a bit of chocolate. The taste is nice, not overly flavorful, but nice. The chocolate and Graham cracker are there, nothing complex but nice. There's a touch of alcohol on the finish but I like it! This brew is nothing special but I'd certainly drink it again and enjoy it.

Picked this up at Buy-Rite in Jersey City recently, having never tried this before. I hadn't had a Stout since the weather changed and this looked like an interesting one to start off with. For some reason, this beer never clicked with me and although I can appreciate the boundary that this pushed, it felt a lot stronger than it was in actuality. This is certainly not one to be enjoyed quickly and even as it warmed up, there was something that didn't quite click with this.
The pour to this was dark - not quite black but a brown that was dark enough to block all the light, even around the edges. Not a lot of head and not as much lacing as I would liked to have seen. Espresso and booze filled up my pint glass as I gave this a whiff and they were joined by chocolate, molasses, some pumpernickel spice, and just a hint of lactose in the mouthfeel. This was a bit thinner than most other Stouts that I've had and the carbonation was present in taste, if not in sight. For some reason, the aftertaste did not do it for me as the roast bitterness was too astringent and the booze just wouldn't let go. If this was more along the lines of a Milk Stout and has some creaminess to it, maybe I could have warmed up to it.
Unfortunately, I never did no matter how much this warmed up. It felt a lot stronger than it actually was and the kind of chocolate that this emulated was not powdery enough to match the flavors and aroma. This was a different Stout but certainly not better and with so many coming onto the shelves this time of the year, there are plenty of better options to spend your money on.

Very very dark brown but with noticeable clarity as it pours, thin brown head. Chocolate, asphalt, coffee and faint dark fruit on the nose. As the beer airs out a bit, more chocolate comes through covering up the initial asphalt like smell.
Pretty nice stout. Smooth creamy body with a decent amount of carbonation. Mild chocolate and cocoa powder up front rolls into a bitter black chocolate and coffee taste with an underlying earthy bitterness. Faint chalky mouthfeel. Good balance. Faint alcohol heat and mild bitterness that builds on the back of the tongue. Not overly complex but has enough going on. Overall a pretty nice stout but should definitely come in 6 packs. Alcohol heat and astringency takes away from the beer slightly.

Pours used motor oil pitch black color with a big frothy 2 finger dark tan head that faded very slowly and was full of tight bubbles, leaving very good spotty lacing.
Smells of roasted grains, chocolate, cocoa powder, malt, chicory, herbs, caramel, syrup, light coffee grinds and some burnt wood. It's a mashed up roasted grain nose that has nice chocolate accents that smell sweet and almost like coffee.
Tastes like it smells, with roasted grains, chocolate, cocoa powder, malt, nut, toffee, chicory, molasses, caramel, coffee grinds, charcoal, very light hops, and yeast or a penny aftertaste that's bitter; pretty much all malt with some alcohol peeking through, but not in a bad way.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, with mild carbonation, a thick chewy body and a sweet chocolate finish that's bitter like a strong coffee. A slow sipper based on the weight.
A flavorful stout that is unbalanced and gets better as it warms, but it's only above average due to the nice complex roasted malts and chocolate flavor that basically rule the taste. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't run out to buy it, yet I'd definitely have it again if I saw it at a bar.

Bottle poured into my Penn State handled mug. Go State.
A: Pours a deep murky dark shade of brown, with a moderately thick tan head on top that dissipated quickly.
S: Roasted malts, slight touch of coffee notes, and a bit of cocoa present in the nose. All at a moderate volume.
T: The molasses that the bottle indicates is included here jumps out at me first. Nice creaminess. A touch of vanilla. Big notes of chocolate on the back end. Notes of coffee underneath.
There's a touch of roasty bitterness on the back end, likely being supported by a good dry hop presence, that rounds things out and brings it all together.
M: Moderate heft. Good creaminess in the mouth. Carbonation is appropriate.
D/O: Enjoyable and repeatable.

Midnight black and opaque with complete absence of color when held to light. Light tan head with average retention but forms a film around to edge of the glass and adds some nice lacing after each sip.
Aroma is dark, primarily coffee, chocolate and charcoal. Alcohol has a sherry-like quality. I can smell some burnt molasses as well.
Solid malt character consisting of burnt toast and cooked corn. Roasted almonds and dark chocolate provide a satisfying bitterness. Molasses lies in the background and the lactose adds a sweet and somewhat tart character to the mix. Hops are subtle with earthy tones that compliment the roasted bitterness quite well.
Medium bodied with a syrupy, chocolately texture mid-drink that lingers into the finish but finishes with a tad more dryness from the hops. Low-medium carbonation but flavors are strong enough to assert themselves with the bubbles available. No sticky feel, a definite plus.
Overall a great stout and I like the creative additions to the recipe. They definitely spent some time with this perfecting the balance and the result is very tasty!

12oz bottle from The Beer Baron (Detroit, MI). 3.39. No bottling date. Served in a Souther Tier snifter.
Pours near black brown with a quarter finger tan head. No lace.
Smells of bakers chocolate, cream coffee and a little honey.
Bitter dark chocolate leads the taste followed by molasses, coffee, smokey cherry, slightly nutty and char. An interesting blend that covers any trace of alcohol.
Light to medium feel with crisp carbonation. Long bittersweet chocolate coffee aftertaste.
Not bad at all. Much more bitter than I'm used to in a stout brewed with lactose but an interesting combination. Worth trying but I don't think I'd pay over $3 for another bottle.

Small, thin tan head. Brown body. A little flat, I think.
Smell is bitter dark chocolate.
Flavor is also bitter chocolate. Somewhat dry. No hops to speak of. Not getting the molasses. It's good, but not all that complex.
Slightly coating. But generally thin.
Overall, it's an OK beer.

A: Pours dark,dark brown with a smallish, light brown head that dissipated somewhat quickly. Would've liked a little more head.
S: Nice chocolate and molasses tones, especially as the beer warmed up a little.
T: Well balanced with definite chocolate and roasted malt flavors. The molasses flavor was subtle, and considering the label says it was brewed with molasses, it would've nice to have this flavor to be a bit more overt. Overall, however, the flavor was very nice. The beer finishes slightly bitter with sweet malt overtones. Lovely.
M: Medium mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. I would have liked a bit more body, but for a beer of this style, it wasn't bad. Again, it improved as it warmed up (I probably had it too cold).
D: Very drinkable. Not the best stout I've had, but overall it was very enjoyable. I would definitely drink again!

Pours dark brown in color with a khaki head. Maybe a touch watery on the nose, but otherwise nice roast and chocolate aromas. A hint of coffee and some molasses for sweetness. The flavor isn't bad, but similarly watery. Cocoa/chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt make up most of the substance. A slight sweetness of toffee and molasses, too. Not bad, but not great either.

Poured in June 2012 from a bottle.
A: Nice looking beer, typical of the style. Dark with a little head if I remember correctly (reviewing from notes and I wasn't overly "detailed")
S: Smelled nice and complex. Chocolate and sweetness.
T: Taste had a nice complexity and good balance. Chocolate, roast, and some sweetness. Sweeter than I expected. A strange bitterness that I didn't particularly enjoy toward the finish.
M: A bit too carbonated for my liking, which was ultimately the demise of this beer for me. Less carbonation and it would've been very nice.
O: A decent beer. One I'd gladly drink again, but won't go seeking out.

Jet black color. Poured a giant and fluffy light brown head. It took about 10 minutes to pour because of the head constantly foaming up. It left behind tons of sticky lacing. Looks awesome.
Roasted chocolate, coffee, cocoa. They were all there, but one didn't really stand out from the other.
Roasted malt and a lactose sweetness. Cocoa and coffee. There is a bitternes that lingers on for a bit, but finishes pretty clean.
Medium light body. The brew seemed a bit over-carbonated. There was a bit of an acidity and it was a little bit messy throughout the sip, but the clean finish fixed it.
An awesome looking stout that was very drinkable. The flavors were muddied up at times, but the clean and sweeter finish were the highlights of the beer.

This nice lady on the bottle art drew me to this brew. Poured into a Winking Lizard pilsner glass.
Appearance - Two fingers of luscious milkshake-esque head. The head is creamy like a milky rootbeer float. Appears very sweet. Delicious, cascading lacing. The beer is pitch black and completely opaque. Dark as night with brown hues at the surface.
Smell - Exceptionally strong cocoa in the aroma. The lactose is very apparent - the smell of chocolate milk hits hard. Heavily roasted chocolate that is sweet, rather than bitter.
Taste - A very, very impressive stout. A toothsome roasted waterfall coats the palate. Tastes of sweet milk chocolate. There is no bitterness in the taste, which is good for this beer. Honey, or molasses as the bottle states, slides over the tongue. A light alcohol burn throughout the taste that is not aggressive. A bit of dry cocoa that adds to the beers complexity.
Mouthfeel and Drinkability - Sweet and smooth throughout the taste. A bit dry on the finish. Medium-bodied and a pleasant, easily drinkable sipper.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass at cellar temperature.
L - Deep brown color with a 1-finger tan bubbly head. Pretty good retention but not much lacing. Lots of bubbles coming to the surface.
S - Definitely sweet with chocolate, lactose, and molasses aromas. There's maybe a slight undertone of roasted, coffee-like malt.
T - Follows the nose to a tee. Again, very sweet but not sickeningly or artificially sweet. Definite chocolate, molasses, and lactose presence. Also again, there's a subtle undertone of roasted coffee bitterness. Very, very subtle. All the flavor is here mostly sweet.
F - Light-to-medium-bodied with lots of carbonation, a creamy but crisp mouthfeel, and a sweet and slightly dry finish. Chocolate and lactose sweetness lingers for a little bit.
O - I'm not sure why everyone is hating on this beer so much. I thought it was a very tasty stout. Yes, it's mostly all the way over on the sweet rather than bitter side of the spectrum, but not artificially so. I think the lactose blends well with the molasses and chocolate, which I definitely thought had a strong presence here. I thought this was a tasty beer, and I'll look for more from Arcadia in the future.

12 Oz poured into a tulip glass
This beer pours pitch black with a rather modest one finger of a brown head, not a whole lot of retention. The smell is quite nice on this one, some cocoa and coffee as well as some roastiness, the smell is this beers best quality. The taste of this beer is chocolate, coffee and a nice complex malt variety. I do think this beer could have lost the lactose sugar and been fine because its a little too bitter sweet. Overall this is a solid stout, not as heavy on the chocolate as I would have liked but a pretty solid offering from Arcadia.

Poured from a bottle into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter. It is dark brown in color, allows some light to pass through, and produces a nice 2-finger head that dissipates pretty quickly. The nose is pretty nice, but a bit faint and subdued. It has some nice hints of cream, toasted malt, licorice, and chocolate.
The beer has a full body, medium-firm mouthfeel, and a nice malt-forward flavor profile. I get a nice combination of chocolate and milk sugar in the front of my palate, then a bit of toasted malt starts to dry things up a bit. Right around mid-palate, you start to get an unusual smoke/burnt fruit/cherry flavor that lingers on the finish. I'm not too crazy about it.
I wasn't expecting much from this beer. I picked up a single simply because the description sounded interesting. It's a nice beer, but I probably won't buy it again. I have found better milk/sweet stouts than this.

This stout pours a dark, dark black-brown with a thick creamy head of tightly laced bubbles.
I get a stout's nose full of roast and a bit of the lactic stout aroma. If I was to map the flavor out I'd say that there's a bit of a roast up front, followed by a noticeable bitterness and a lactic sting, before finishing sweet and malty, yet dry. Flavor coats the mouth and lingers, in a way that I find enjoyable. A big, pleasing, dessert brew that I'd gladly try again if given the chance.

Poured a bottle into an oversized pint glass.
A - This beer is gorgeous. It's pitch black, and has a fair amount of creamy, tan head that laces the glass after about a minute or two. This is exactly the way you want a beer like this to look.
S - You can smell the lactose and the molasses right away, and the sweetness is the biggest part about it all, naturally. The chocolate is not immediate at your nose, but is subtly there underneath the other layers.
T - I am really disappointed to say that this beer fell flat as soon as I took a sip. I had such high hopes after looking at it post-pour, but it was not impressive. I am a large fan of all sorts of stouts; this is not one I'd buy again. I definitely taste the molasses and lactose, but not so much the chocolate. Disappointing.
M - The beer was smooth, and very lightly carbonated. The mouthfeel, like the appearance, was up to par & exactly what I expected.
O - I'm glad I bought only one bottle and not a 6-pack or case. What this beer has in look & feel, it lacks in taste. Wish there were more chocolate notes to this beer, especially if it's labeled as a chocolate stout. It's more similar to a milk stout than anything else, but a very lightly flavored one at that.

Is there anyone else like me who found her just completely offensive?
I don't usually critcize dead people. When she was alive I used to say, "All she is is a black Tammy Faye Bakker."
Houston tried to play it both ways. On the one hand she was a successful figure in the entertainment industry. On the otherhand, she wanted to present herself in a very conservative manner. Its like she still had to prove something, make some sort of a claim to legitimacy. Needed to present a conservative image, seeking approval, is not becomming.
She just went right up my spine.
Anybody see her the way I do?
Becoming Other
Mostly, I didn't see her at all, and the less I saw her, the more I liked it. I didn't care for her music or her movies (The Bodyguard?!? SPARE ME!), and as for anything she may have had to say in public, never heard it and couldn't care less.
From where I sit, she wasn't worth noticing ... so mostly, I didn't.
I was never a consumer of her product, …not a pop culture person I s'pose.
Never paid any attention to her - one way or the other. Don't really care about the lives of celebrities. Never interested me, and I doubt it ever will.
She was a great talent; maybe, the best voice in the last few decades. But I was bothered by the way so many just ignored her flaws in the aftermath of her death. I have no problem enjoying people's talents—that's why I'm a sports fan. But pretending that famous people are perfect is stupid. I think a reasonable discussion about Houston's drug abuse, her choice in men and the abusive marriage she stayed in for so long could have been very educational for many young people. I also think this discussion could have been had in a way that didn't completely trash Houston; tearing people down is not great either. We really need to consider a more balanced approach when it comes to how we feel about famous people. I'm probably in the minority but I believe kids should be taught that Jon F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King were both cereal adulterers. That fact should not be used to denigrate their accomplishments but it should be used to teach about the problems of adultery.
"She was a great talent; maybe, the best voice in the last few decades."
Subjective, …I worked in the biz for three decades, …I wouldn't call her a "great talent" or "best voice". Her performance was always (to me, a 45 years musician, and a session player, studio musician, music teacher for many decades), marked by pretense and cliche, …great for pop culture, but compared to any of the greats, …mediocre.
I love me some Whitney. Wish I could hear her yell, "Bobbaaayyyy!" right now.
I don't have an opinion of her either way, not my type of music though I do admit she had a lovely voice. I cannot think of Whitney without thinking of a clip on The Soup, when she yells at Bobby in her best crack laden ghetto voice: "Kiss my ass". It is hilarious.
However if you are a fan, you can now show you love by spending only $300 bucks:
Because when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter how many illegal drugs you take when your alive or what illegal drugs cause your death, if you are a great singer you will still get into heaven. Hypocrisy number 23,658 257.
See, that above picture gets to what has always bothered me. There was in Houston a covert message of social conformity, and the Jesusolotry Movement is a big part of this.
I can't stand her. And I agree that the movie "The Bodyguard" is horrible.
It made me laugh. It looks like he's breaking her neck. XD
Jesus loves you, Whitney! *crack*
/lulz on so many levels (still sad, but...)
Absolutely sickening as far as I'm concerned!......& I'm being polite!
Might you be able to elaborate further? Your words might be able to convince some who aren't seeing it.
To me, its the conservative hair style, the conspicuous prosperity, on top of trying to present herself as a media icon. Its how she tried to glamorize smoking, make it seem chic instead of an addiction.
I remember around the same time as the Body Guard, she made a music video with her husband. It showed her riding around in a limosine. She was showing off her high living. Then there was a shot of she and the husband from behind. Then they both turned center and faced front. They were holding their new baby. So she was tokenizing the baby too, along with all the expensive stuff she showed off.
Again, its the juxtaposition of all of this, playing everything both ways. To me it is obvious that she has been deeply influenced by Pentecostalism. Like I said before, a black Tammy Faye Bakker.
Perhaps Patrica you might be able to shed some further light on this.
Again, I don't normally attack dead people. I did attack this one plenty when she was alive. I'd just forgotten about her in the years since.
Just that she was so over the top about everything & the sickeningly syrupy sweet way of talking/acting, thanking her mummy an daddy an her heavenly father, just hit my gag reflex big time. I have much better reactions to most musicians/singers, but she was just too much glop. I'm a huge music fan with a large collection of many different kinds of music, but she was never one of them.

(NewsUSA) - What are my options? What would work best for me? Those questions are asked every day by individuals in doctor's offices and hospitals when trying to decide on the course of action for a health condition or disease.
Patients want to know which therapies will work best, given their personal characteristics, conditions and preferences. They may be deciding between medicine or surgery, between traditional therapies or alternatives, or even between treatment and no treatment at all.
Too often, patients do not have reliable, research-based information to make choices that reflect their situations or the outcomes most important to them.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) was established to help bridge these gaps by funding research to answer patients' questions.
"Traditional research simply has not answered many of the questions that matter to patients, such as 'How will this treatment affect my daily life?'" says PCORI Executive Director Joe Selby, MD, MPH. "In other cases, research results have not been communicated effectively to patients and their caregivers. "No matter the cause, patients suffer when there are gaps in the information available to us."
PCORI now wants your help to identify which questions to study.
A "Suggest a Research Question" feature on PCORI's website, www.pcori.org, allows you to submit the specific questions you want the institute to address. PCORI evaluates every question it receives and will fund studies where it thinks it can make a difference by providing patients with more information.
PCORI invites questions about how different prevention, diagnosis and treatment options compare, how disparities can be reduced, and how to improve health care systems and the way health information is communicated.
Here's an example of a recent question PCORI received: What medical procedures get the best results for back pain among options that include physical therapy, chiropractic, drugs or surgery?
PCORI is dedicated to addressing questions that are important to patients and can help them make more informed decisions. Your input can help the institute understand the needs patients have and the decisions they face.
"PCORI's approach is to include the patient's voice in the research we fund," Selby said. "This is your opportunity to ask the challenging, real-world questions you face with your caregivers and clinicians."

After a five-month break, the Owen County Farmers' Market will be back in business Friday with the judge-executive's office hosting its annual cookout in support of Relay For Life. Local vendors are expected to gather once again from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Friday behind the Kentucky Farm Bureau office, located at 430 Roland Avenue. Owen County Farmers' Market President Jim Bush said there will be 15 vendors taking part in this year's market.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below ... "In Flanders Field" is a poem written during World War I by doctor and Lt. Col. John McCrae.
Rianna Gayheart, a 2012 graduate of Owen County High School, was recently named Northern Kentucky University's Female Freshman Athlete of the Year at the NKU athletic banquet. The award was only awarded to one freshman female and one freshman male from all of the sports teams. Gayheart was awarded NKU Athlete of the Week on three separate occasions this year, as well as A-Sun Newcomer of the Week twice and A-Sun All Freshman Team.
Despite the threat of rain Friday and Saturday, the second annual 227 Yard Sale rolled on. KY 227 resident and Owen County Magistrate Teresa Davis, who started the Kentucky Derby themed event in 2012, said there were approximately 14 yard sales along the stretch of highway. "The number of yard sales was down some, everybody was afraid it was going to rain," Davis said. "But it was still a good event." Prizes were given out to those who had the best Derby hat and Davis said Teresa Green was the overall sales winner.
An Owen County man is expected to be sentenced in Owen County Circuit Court next month after he was found guilty of multiple drug charges May 1. James R. Thomas, 53, was found guilty of manufacturing methamphetamine; possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine; possession of drug paraphernalia; possession of marijuana; and first-degree persistent felony offender. According to court documents, Thomas was ordered to vacate the home he shared with his wife Brenda Thomas at 1675 Hwy. 35 on April 20 by Owen County District Court Judge Thomas Funk.
A fourth person was indicted May 7 on a drug trafficking charge following arrests made by the Owenton City Police last month. The arrests were part of a three-month investigation into illegal drug dealers and took place on April 17. Linda Oakley Taylor, 61, was indicted on the charge of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, hydrocodone. The arrests were part of a continued effort to clamp down on illegal drug dealers within the City of Owenton.
Wolfe Greene of Sparta, has graduated from the University of Evansville with the degree of bachelor of science. Greene, majoring in physics and mathematics, graduated during UE's 155th Commencement, held May 4 at the Ford Center in downtown Evansville. During the ceremony, the University awarded 595 degrees to 579 graduates – the largest graduating class in over a decade.
Brittany Leigh Prather and Lawrence Brandon Colston were united in marriage on May 2, 2013, by Owen County Justice of the Peace Teresa Kemper Davis. The witnesses were Denise Smoot and Mary A. Moore.
Good morning. I said I was going to stop writing this column. I just didn't have anything to say anymore, but several people have called and written to say how much it would be missed, and since I have no excuse except lack of inspiration, which you have now rekindled, I will try again. This was Derby week in Kentucky. I spent most of it mowing and managed to get all the different patches of grass gone over by the weekend.

It's a compliment.
I've been to a few sites where mods take action only when they're made aware of a problem.
I'm a mod elsewhere but I don't have enough privileges to handle stuff like the one I adressed.
I'm a bit envious as well since as much as I want to do something about a few issues we're having there, I can't... I'm also afraid to screw up our site's coding.

In Russia, the music of Viktor Tsoi, a rock star who died young in 1990, is being played again. That is not just testament to how good it was, writes the FT's Neil Buckley. With Russians once again protesting on the streets demanding greater democracy, the Tsoi resurgence highlights that history is, in part, repeating itself. Read more

Population projections are calculations that show the future population size and structure based on assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration, derived from an analysis of recent demographic trends. They are produced first at national level and then by region and by local authority.
Finalised data for all births, deaths, marriages, civil partnerships and divorces along with population data for the year in question.
Forward projections of the number of households in each local authority area in Scotland up to 2031, by household type and age group.
Household projection data
Population projections provide estimates of the size of the future population, and are based on assumptions about births, deaths and migration.
Population projections provide estimates of the size of the future population, and are based on assumptions about births, deaths and migration.
Marital status projections are produced for England and Wales and cover both legal marital status and (opposite sex) co-residential cohabitation.
Population projections provide estimates of the future population. Projections are based on assumptions about future fertility, life expectancy, international and domestic migration.

Population Projections for Northern Ireland by sex and single year of age.
This Statistical Bulletin provides an analysis of the population aged 50 and over in Wales.
This statistical release analyses the results from the population projections for the three national parks in Wales: Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire.

Population projections: components of change, dependants, births, deaths, population by sex and age group.
Sub-Northern Ireland Population Projections.
Summarises the Registrar General for Scotland's mid-2006 based population projections for the council and NHS board areas of Scotland.
Subnational population projections use past trends to project forward the population to give an indication of the future population for 25 years from the base year. Available for local authorities and Primary Care Organisations.
These tables provide annual and quarterly data for a selection of key statistics under the following themes: population, demography and health. Figures for the latest quarters and years may be provisional, these will be updated to final figures when data is available.
National population projections are produced for the UK and constituent countries by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in consultation with the statistical offices for these countries. They project the population by single year of age and sex for 75 years into the future. They are made using trend-based assumptions of future levels of fertility, mortality and migration.
The national population projections are not forecasts and do not attempt to predict the impact that new or future government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors might have on future demographic behaviour. The projections are produced every two years by ONS.
As well as population by age and sex, the national population projections calculate future numbers of births, deaths and migrants (by single year of age). The assumptions on projected fertility and mortality rates and calculated life expectancies are also available. Both principal projections (representing the most likely population outcome) and variant projections (based on plausible alternative assumptions) are produced.
Subnational population projections for England are produced by ONS and project forward population estimates to give an indication of future levels of population by age and sex at Government Office Region, local authority, Primary Care Organisation and strategic health authority level for 25 years into the future.
The projections are trend-based, making assumptions about future levels of fertility, mortality and migration based on levels observed over a five year reference period to the base year. Therefore, they give an indication of what the future population, by age and sex structure, might be if recent trends continue, and take no account of policy or development aims in areas.
Subnational population projections are produced, for England, every two years by ONS these are fully consistent (in terms of population and components of change) with the official national population projections. Subnational population projections are also produced; for Scotland by General Register Office for Scotland, for Northern Ireland by Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency and for Wales by Welsh Assembly Government.
The national and subnational population projections for England are used by the Communities and Local Government for the production of household projections.
Marital status projections are produced on an occasional basis for England and Wales only. They give, for 25 years ahead, the projected future population by age, gender and both legal marital status and (opposite sex co-residential) cohabitation.
Technical Data
National population projections are made for successive years running from one mid-year to the next using the cohort component method, which can be summarised as:
Population (year x) + Births (between years x and y) – Deaths (between years x and y) + In-Migrants (between years x and y) – Out-Migrants (between years x and y) = Population (year y).
This method is in line with those used by other national statistics institutes and is supported by demographic and academic experts.
For each age, the starting population plus net inward migrants less the number of deaths produces the number in the population, one year older, at the end of the year. Survivors of those born during the year are then added. Age is defined as completed years at the last birthday. Migration, deaths and births are all assumed to occur evenly throughout the year.
The mid-year population estimates from each country are used as the starting population. The numbers of births, deaths and migrants are calculated using the assumptions of fertility, mortality and migration which are determined by a mixture of trend observation and extrapolation, and consideration of expert opinion, with actual data included in the calculation for the first year of the projection.
The projections are computed for each of the component countries of the UK and the results are added together to produce projections for England and Wales, Great Britain and the UK. Both principal projections (most likely population outcome) and variant projections (plausible alternative assumptions) are produced.
Subnational population projections for England also use a cohort component methodology. The basic principal is the same as that used for the national population projections but is conducted for each individual local authority in England. In addition, internal migration flows between local authorities are modelled using recent patient register information and the population moved around accordingly.
At each stage in the process the components of population change (births, deaths and migration) are constrained nationally to the levels for these shown in the assumptions used in the official national population projections. The assumptions on fertility rates, mortality rates and migration rates are derived from trends observed in these measures over the five year period leading up to the projection base year.
This methodology applies to the general population only. Special population types, including foreign and home Armed Forces, are dealt with separately and are assumed to remain static over the projection period.
The legal marital status projections are produced using a component methodology based on assumptions of underlying marriage, remarriage and divorce rates. They are produced using a multi-dimensional modelling system LIPRO developed by the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI).
The model requires assumptions to be made for transitions between different marital statuses. In addition, assumptions have to be made about the marital status distribution for both deaths and net migration. These assumptions are specified as an initial set of marriage, divorce and mortality rates by marital status, single year of age and sex as derived from the previous year's components of change data used by ONS to update the annual population estimates by marital status.
The projections are adjusted to satisfy a number of consistency constraints. These include internal 'two-sex' constraints (for example, that the number of men divorcing each year must equal the number of women divorcing) and the external constraint that the results of the legal marital status projection are fully consistent with the results of the national (age and sex) projections for England and Wales.
The cohabitation projections are made by making assumptions about the proportions cohabiting in each age, sex and legal marital status group and then applying these to the results of the legal marital status projection. The assumptions are based on an analysis of trends in the proportions cohabiting.
Demographic trend-based projections of future fertility, mortality and migration levels upon which the population projections are based.
Base population
A population estimate which is the starting point of a population projection. For national and subnational projections, the base population is a mid-year estimate which includes all usually resident persons within a given area, whatever their nationality. Members of HM Armed Forces in the UK are included, but members of HM Armed Forces and their families who are abroad are excluded. Foreign Armed Forces in the UK are included, with dependants if they are accompanied.�
Child Dependency Ratio
The number of children per thousand persons of working age.
Individuals aged under 16 years.
Cohort component method
Population projections are made for successive years running from one mid-year to the next. For each age, the starting population plus net inward migrants less the number of deaths produces the number in the population, aged one year older, at the end of the year. To this, the survivors of those born during the year are added. Age is defined as completed years at the last birthday.
Cohort life expectancy
The average number of years someone would be expected to live based on the known or projected age-specific mortality rates they will experience during their lifetime. As cohort life expectancy takes account of actual or projected changes in mortality rates over time, it is regarded as a more appropriate measure of how long a person is expected to live in comparison to period life expectancy.
Completed family size (CFS)
The average number of children that women born in particular years will have during the entire span of their childbearing years.
Components of population change
The three types of events by which population size can change: births, deaths and migration.
Children aged under 16 years and individuals of state pension age and over.
Dependency ratio
The number of dependants in a population per thousand persons of working age.
Fertility assumptions
Assumptions about future fertility levels based on recent trends. For the purposes of the national population projections, fertility assumptions are formulated in terms of completed family size (CFS). Underlying the headline fertility indicators are age-specific fertility rates and an assumed sex ratio of 105 boys for every 100 girls born.
Marital status projections
Projections which provide a breakdown of the population by legal marital status and (opposite sex co-residential) cohabitation. Marital status projections are presently available at England and Wales (combined) level only.
For the purpose of the population projections, a migrant is defined as an individual who changes their place of usual residence for a period of at least a year, so that the place of destination becomes the place of usual residence.
Migration assumptions
Assumptions about future migration levels based on recent trends. For the national population projections, assumptions are made about levels of international and cross-border net migration. For subnational population projections, internal migration between regional and local areas is also considered.
Mortality assumptions
Assumptions about future mortality levels based on recent trends. The mortality assumptions for the national population projections are formed by projecting age and sex specific mortality improvements. These are assumed to converge to target rates of mortality improvement 25 years into the projection period. Period life expectancy at birth is commonly used as a headline mortality assumption indicator.
National population projections
National level population projections produced for the UK, its constituent countries, England and Wales (combined) and Great Britain. These projections are usually produced every two years.
Natural change
The difference between the number of births and deaths over a particular period in a given area. If the number of births exceeds the number of deaths, there will be natural increase. If the number of deaths exceeds the number of births, there will be natural decrease.�
Net migration
The difference between the number of in-migrants and out-migrants moving to and from a particular area over a given period. If the number of in-migrants exceeds the number of out-migrants, there will be net in-migration. If the number of out-migrants exceeds the number of in-migrants there will be net out-migration.
Pensionable-age dependency ratio
The number of persons of state pension age and above per thousand persons of working age
Pensionable age population
Individuals of state pension age and above. Between 2010 and 2020, state pension age will change from 65 years for men and 60 years for women, to 65 years for both sexes. Between 2024 and 2046, state pension age will increase in three stages from 65 years to 68 years for both sexes.
Period life expectancy
The average number of years someone would be expected to live based on the age-specific mortality rates for the period and area in which they reside. This measure makes no allowance for any later actual or projected changes in mortality. In practice, mortality rates are likely to change in the future and people may live in other areas for at least some part of their lives. Therefore, period life expectancy does not give the number of years someone could actually expect to live.
Population projection
An indication of the future population founded on trend-based assumptions of fertility, mortality and migration. Population projections are not forecasts. They do not attempt to predict the impact that new or future government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors might have on demographic behaviour. They simply demonstrate the future population size and structure that would result if the separate assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration levels were to be realised in practice.
Principal projection
A population projection based on the fertility, mortality and migration assumptions considered to be the best at the time there are adopted. Hence the principal projection represents the most likely population outcome. May also be referred to as the main or central projection.�
Projection period
The length of time a population projection spans. National population projections are published to 75 years ahead. Subnational population projections span a 25 year horizon. Population projections become increasingly uncertain the further they are carried forward, and particularly so for smaller geographic areas. Long-term figures should therefore be treated with caution.
Replacement level fertility
The number of children needed to be born per woman for the population to replace itself from one generation to the next in the absence of migration. Replacement level fertility in the UK is about 2.075 children per woman.
Support ratio
The number of persons of working age per persons of dependant age.
Total dependency ratio

Total fertility rate (TFR)
The average number of children a group of women would have if they were to experience the age-specific fertility rates of the given year throughout their lifetime and survive to the end of their childbearing years. It is obtained by summing the age-specific fertility rates of the given year.
Variant projections
To give users an indication of the inherent uncertainty of demographic behaviour, variant population projections are produced in addition to the principal projection. Variant projections are based on plausible alternative fertility, mortality and migration assumptions and illustrate the sensitivity of the projection results to changes in the underlying assumptions.

How to manually set a breakpoint in Chrome / Firebug / Firefox
I just found out a feature of Chromes debugger today, that I was searching for a while, but never found out:
How to set breakpoints in code, so that when you run over a function the debugger will automatically stop at that line of code.
Whenever you use the special keyword debugger
in your script, FireBug / Chrome will treat that line as if it was a breakpoint, and stop your script right there.
This is so handy! Of course you can still set breakpoints by clicking on the line number in debugger.
So have fun debugging your code!

How thick are these keys? I had a set of blank black PBTs that I purchased from iMav not sure who made them if you're saying KBC hasn't sold these before.
Does this mean that the spacebar will be pbt too?
Someone who is involved with http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ has said that black blank pbt sets will be available when they open up in March. I want to see the specs/price on those before I give the go ahead.Please post a running tab of purchases if possible.BTW: Is that shipping price for combined? For example, if I order 4 sets is it still $4 shipping?
I wonder if Mechanicalkeyboards is the mysterious vendor that KBC mentioned.
These look cool. I will be buying one soon. They will fit on a Rosewill rk9000 without issues, correct?
Do you know if the space bar is the "universal" type that will fit a Leopold LC200R? I'll be buying one for sure, maybe two if the space bar fits the Leopold TKL.
I'm interested, although I already so many new sets that I haven't even touched yet.feng, so what if you don't hit the 100 order minimum? Is this still going through? If so, does that mean you'll be covering the rest of the set so we hit the 100 minimum?
I'd probably be in if they were engraved... (for whatever that is worth)
He offers engrave people want blanks... Now he offers blanks and people want engraved:rofl:
:frusty: I hate the deadline that I listed.
feng,can you confirm that these will work ok on the Cherry G80-3000?

Review Detail
Written by Joel Courtney and Katherine McNamara July 15, 2012

At 11 years old, Ty Simpkins already has quite a few credits on his resume. Simpkins has been in movies since he was barely 3 months old, and has roles in flicks such as Insidious, The Next Three Days, and Little Children. Maybe even more interesting is how many times he's been cast in films with his real life sister Ryan Simpkins - they play siblings in Revolutionary Road, Pride and Glory and Arcadia, among others.
But for Iron Man 3, Ty's first action movie, he goes it alone. Ty plays Harley Keener, an intelligent kid who has a run-in with Iron Man and actually helps him save the day.
Ty's favorite part of working on Iron Man 3 was being able to spend time with its star Robert Downey Jr. "Robert's really fun to work with. He's a really nice guy."
Like many kids his age, Ty is a huge Iron Man fan. "My favorite superhero is Iron Man and I'm not just saying that because I worked on the Iron Man movie. It actually is Iron Man," he says very emphatically....

Man Accused of Killing a Woman Has Preliminary Hearing
By: Bill Palmer
Updated: January 12, 2013
The court proceedings began in Warren County for the Tidioute man accused of killing a woman in cold blood and sending police on a 10 hour manhunt.
The Warren County court room was jam packed as the preliminary hearing began for 52-year-old Randy Lee Poole.
District Attorney Ross McKiernan painted a picture of what happened that December 20th afternoon that Poole allegedly shot 56-year-old Kathleen Sweeney at her home on Davey Hill Road.
McKiernan says a detailed timeline was established that afternoon, and there is no rhyme or reason as to why Poole killed Sweeney, as he barely knew her.
Ross Mckiernan, Warren County District Attorney, said:
"When I say that the why is always going to be a bit of a mystery, there was no relationship other than that they knew each other and attended the same bar together."
Mike Holden: "But investigators say it all started here at the pub behind me. Poole left the pub and headed to the car wash where he made a drug deal and purchased bath salts. Following all that, he then headed to the victim's home."
McKiernan: "This is clearly a drug fueled rage. There is evidence that bath salts were employed by defendant in this case. And the evidence also established that 13 minutes later he hadshot the victim."
McKiernan claims that when Poole showed up at Sweeney's home, he attempted to sexually assault her. She then ran out to her car to escape.
Poole then reportedly shot through her driver's side window and shot her in the head.
McKiernan: "Poole then fires 3 shots close range, to the left side of her head."
This all eventually lead to a 10 hour man hunt for Poole.
Poole's attorney Alan Conn declined to comment on camera but says evidence is essential and the prosecution has no direct evidence connected. He says no one saw Poole driving the vehicle that lead police on the man hunt and no one saw him at the victim's home.
Mike Holden, Jet 24, Action News.
Poole faces charges of homicide, burglary, persons not to possess firearms and fleeing and eluding.
His arraignment is scheduled for January 31st. Jury selection is April 15th.

PI Bay Delisted, Other Problems Could Arise
By: Chelsea Pompeani
Updated: March 18, 2013
Just three months ago
Twenty years ago, the bay was put on
a federal list as one of 43 areas of concerns in the
Back in December, the bay was de-listed, and is no longer deemed an area of concern.
Now? Experts are focusing all of their efforts into making sure the bay stays off the list by monitoring the fish and emerging contaminants.
But VP of the Sons of Lake Erie Ed Kissell is concerned with the health of the community, after the massive amounts of dead fish that are washed up on the shore.
Even though the bay has been taken off the federal watch list experts are still concerned with toxic blue-green algae that could present a threat to the bay.
Park Manager Harry Leslie tells us if that would happen to come to this area of PA it literally could shut down swimming and would be a major impact on tourism and economy.
As of now, Leslie says it's hard to tell where the algae spread will go; it depends on the temperatures and nutrients in the water.

Matt weighs in on Rafael Soriano, Brian Cashman and Joba Chamberlain
Unless you've had your head in the sand, you've probably heard by now about the Yankees' latest acquisition, Rafael Soriano. Many of you have probably already made your requisite visit to RAB and had your nerves partially pacified by Joe P's article. You may have then trekked over to TYU to digest Steve S's rationalization of losing a first round draft pick. That's at least what I did. Anyway, at this point, I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time dissecting Soriano the player, here. Suffice it to say he's very good at what he does when he's healthy. Rather, I'm going to take few minutes to vent out my initial thoughts on what this move should signal to us as fans.
First, never believe Brian Cashman. Stop; just don't do it. His ninja skills have been well-documented by this point (i.e., "Bubba Crosby is our starting outfielder;" the notion of Mark Teixeira joining the Yankees should reside in "fantasy land;" and most recently, "no first round draft picks for a reliever"). He's also told us that Joba Chamberlain will permanently remain in the pen going forward and that Sergio Mitre along with Ivan Nova will fill out the back of the rotation in 2011. While these subsequent points haven't been disproved, we have to suspect that some (if not all) are likely to change. Now, don't get me wrong. Brian Cashman owes us (as fans) absolutely nothing in terms of vocalizing his intentions. He is in no way obligated to divulge organizational strategy to public scrutiny. So, the moral of the story is simple: remain skeptical of Cashman's statements until evidence proves otherwise.
Second, the Yankees conception of "frugal spending" should continue to be taken with a massive grain of salt. Yes, there are some distorted/hazy/undefined/flexible/blurred guidelines of the allocated spending that one in accounting might refer to as a budget. However, as we've seen, that too is only as definitive as the moment allows. When the Yankees want to spend, they do. It's that simple. They were willing to spend ample amounts of cash on Cliff Lee, and have since surrendered an excess of dollars on a reliever. While the Yankees are still operating under their 2010 salary mark, one needn't grasp far for reason to assume 2012 and 2013 could easily warrant a bump in payroll if the right opportunity is presented. Some might claim Teixeira to be a "special circumstance." I say special circumstances are capable of happening in New York anytime there is compelling rationale. Basically, let me sum up my second point with this: The Yankees just shelled out a three-year, $35M dollar pact to a the type of player categorized as much by his value as he is by volatility.
Third, I want to see Joba Chamberlain traded. I really don't care for the most part where he is sent either. I'm still working under the assumption that he won't be shifted to the starting rotation at this point (which I realize is ironic given that it directly contradicts my former point about not accepting Cashman's statements at face value). As he will not be able to contribute to the starting rotation or to the bullpen in any real meaningful way given the blatant disregard of his skill set, his value is now almost completely diminished in my eyes. Let the kid revamp his career elsewhere rather than slowly deteriorating in low-leverage slots of the bullpen. I'm sure there are plenty of teams out there that would just love a semi-expensive, arbitration-eligible, possibly-injury-prone, stat-inflated-despite-deceptively-good-peripherals, once-heralded pitching prospect.
So there's my rant, ravings, two cents, or whatever you want to call it. Feel free to leave your gripes or praise as you see fit.
7 comments:
Matt I agree most with your third, if I was Brian Cashman, I would definitely consider trading him but his peripherals are good and he had a much better second half of the season in 2010 last year than his first. I personally think that it wouldn't be very smart to move him back to the rotation because that could really hurt his raw pitching ability more than the Yankees might have already. I say either trade him now or keep him in the 'pen as the "second in command" to David Robertson in terms of middle relief. You make a very, very good point.
ReplyDelete- Tanned TomJanuary 14, 2011 at 3:30 PM
There is no reason to trade Chamberlain. He's young, inexpensive, and a decent pitcher. Why the rush to show him the door? Better to give him another crack at the rotation.
The real change needed is a new G.M. Cashman is clearly not a good judge of talent. The Soriano signing makes no sense, rather seems to be action just for the sake of it.
Look at his additions over the last 2 years:
the good: Teixeira, Sabathia, Swisher (a steal), Thames, Wood.
the bad: Burnett, Wynn, Vazquez, N. Johnson, Berkman, Kearns, Marte (gave up 2 good young pitchers for this DL-case and Nady, who's no longer with the club).
the terrible: Granderson. Not for the player, who's so-so, but for what they gave up. A center fielder who hits .293 and a starter who goes 194 innings with a 3.84 ERA. Complete bonehead move. Twice passing up D. Lowe(once by paying more for Burnett, again by insisting on Vazquez in trade when Atlanta would've paid to unload Lowe) when he's exactly what they need -- an innings eater who can pitch in the AL East.
That's 5 good moves out of 13, now .385 might be great for a hitter, but it sucks for a GM. Tanned Tom,
I know you are probably president of the Fire Brian Cashman Club, but in light of the rumblings that the Soriano move may have come from ownership, I'm beginning to wonder how many of the deals over the last few years have truly been at the sole discretion of Brian Cashman.
I know we've all been told that Cash was granted complete autonomy to run the team after the 2005 season, but between the A-Rod re-signing and now Soriano, it seems pretty clear that he still doesn't have 100% control.- AnonymousJanuary 14, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Yeah, Cashman's gotta go. He blew the chance of getting Halladay AND Lee last year. Both are now with the Phillies. Way to go, Cashman. GET OUT.

Kristian House solos to victory in Durham
photos by Jordan Crosby
Defending series champions Rapha Condor Sharp may have had a rocky start to the 2012 Halford Tour Series at Kircaldy on Tuesday, but Kristian House bounced back from disappointment to take a fantastic solo win on the tough Durham circuit last night.
House's win, which came after a 35-minute solo move, also helped the team to a solid second place on the night, moving them up to second overall in the Tour Series rankings.
House was naturally elated to take the win in front of enormous crowds on the streets of Durham:
"I am really happy to win here, it is a circuit I know, and I know suits me. It is a much harder circuit than any other in the series, the corners are fast and tight, and the cobbled climb takes it out of you lap after lap. Tuesday was disappointing but I knew what I had to do tonight.
"It is a shame we didn't get the team win too, but we are on our way back now, after having such a rough time on Tuesday, and that counts for a lot."
On Tuesday, in the Tour Series' first round in Scotland, the men in black had suffered with various problems and were left floundering in fifth spot on the night.
Team manager, John Herety, had felt the bitter disappointment of his team's defence of the title after getting off to a near catastrophic start.
"I was devastated for the boys on Tuesday. We had lost Ben Grenda with sickness just before the start, and then on the night Dean was flying, but his race was ruined when he punctured with 400m to go.
"There was also a lot of guys getting lapped and getting in the way, the night got very confusing and it was not the ideal start at all. We have started to come off the back foot now with Kristian leading the way tonight, and I'm confident that we have the experience and the riders to win this series again."
The series continues next Tuesday in Oxford, where the team will be looking to start clawing back points toward the top of the leader board.

Imperious ride from House, where just staying upright seemed to be an achievement. Shame such a dominant solo win wasn't worth more, within the team format of the competition.
Also seems like they should strictly eliminate any lapped riders - would make it less confusing for spectators/viewers, and might prevent arguments between DS's…

And as I said before, since I haven't seen the other episodes involving Masamune, I couldn't tell. :P I rather to watch the episodes before getting into the discussions about them.
And as I said before, since I haven't seen the other episodes involving Masamune, I couldn't tell. :P I rather to watch the episodes before getting into the discussions about them.
I see.... yeah, I did specify his seiyuu in the episode discussion. I made a reference to her in one of episode preview threads, but my reference wasn't quite as direct there (mentioned a couple series she worked on, no character names nor the voicer's name herself specified).
Anyway, didn't the guy who attempted translating Pokeani mention Brick Break somewhere? Did anyone use that technique?
Yup, classes again. I'm gonna be at this for a while.
I translate for #Pocketmonsters (just because I know Japanese does not make me Japanese, stop PMing me).
My guess would be Machamp (yeah, BIG surprised huh). It was using something besides Cross Chop but I couldn't pinpoint it.
But what the heck was up with Marowak. I saw what looked like Ice Beam and an electric attack from it. Did it have Metronome?
V | Faction
If I recall Marowak can learn Ice beam i think so i'll guess Metronome triggered The electric attack.

I have 3 Swellow's I believe, Swell, Tail and another one forgot that other name lol
The best part of the episode was when Corphish destroyed that Swalot. You can't deny that seeing Corphish plough through that Shock Wave like it was nothing was just out and out cool.
But overall, Masamune's battle just seemed the better of the two. In all honesty, I found most of Ash's battle somewhat boring. Especially Tropius vs. Torkoal. Torkoal didn't even move from the spot it was in throughout the whole battle and Tropius just hovered there. You'd thing they have a flying tank swoop around and dealing some pretty harsh damage instead of being situated in the sky launching random projectile attacks. Swalot and Corphish's battle was a lot more enjoyable IMO *shrugs*
What the HELL was with Tropius' voice? I'm not impressed with the fact that it sounded like a bootleg-Lapras, generic as hell, screeching at the top of its lungs. The slurping noise it made in The Wish Maker was weird perhpas, but at least it was original. I hope its dubbed over once it eventually reaches the US...
I did like how Swalot sounded though, switching from high-pitched to bellowing~
From what I can tell, Machamp used Cross Chop, Karate Chop, and Dynamic Punch. The secod time Dynamic Punch was performed, it used all of its arms.
The Marowak was using Ice Beam on its own, but I'm honestly not sure about the electric looking move. I believe that the trainer said something about a combination though...

Ok, I've seen the pictures.
I find Masmune's Growlithe a little weak. It only got a couple hits in and the rest were blocked by Marowak. Gligar was awesome in that battle.
The green-haired kid reminds me strongly of Snap/Todd, because he looks a heck of alot like him. Tropius derserved a way better anime debut than that! It barely got a decent screentime. Torkoal and Corphish were awesome ^^ especially how Corphish took out Swalot.
Gligar's so cute when Masamune hugs it. And so AWESOME when it was fighting. Hmm, maybe we can predict a Corphish Gliagr showdown in the near future......
Anyway, it looks like Team Rocket like their new boss, when he gives them food they smile. Could the writers be setting up something?
It knows Ice Beam, and there was no electric attack.Originally Posted by V Faction
I presume you're thinking of this picture. I don't know why they had it give off sparks, but that's a Bone Club attack.

I don't know JazzJazz, but that guy is pretty entertaining. When he suddenly breaks through the wall (Any translaters care to tell me what he yells when he does that?)
Just saw the episode, and I thought it was really good. The only thing I was really didn't like was Tropius's voice. I had expected such a large pokémon to have a much deeper voice, but instead it sounded exactly like Rapurasu.:/
The battles were excellent though. It was great to get to see Kootasu in action since she's the most neglected pokémon on Satoshi's team. And Heigani was truly awesome. He kicked some serious a*s and didn't evolve. Ha! And I agree with Gravy, blasting through Marunoomu's shock wave was just plain cool.
Masamune's battle was also very enjoyable, it was especially good to see Gligar in action since we've never seen one in a real battle before and the only time he was even really featured was way back in the Gligar Man episode. I was really dissappointed with how metal claw was animated though, it looked a hell of a lot better back in "Wired for Battle". Proof that the computer animation isn't always better.:P

I just saw the episode and it was amazing! The double battles were just brilliant!!
Masamune's battle was really intense, Marowak and Growlithe were most likely of the same ability that's why they were both not letting down. Iron Tail to the rescue for this match! Gligar has a great range of Steel type attacks, Steel Wing, Metal Claw, Iron Tail...great!!
In Ash's battle, Torkoal VS Tropius was so intense when it came down to Overheat VS Solarbeam. It was such an intense battle when it was just Corphish and Swalot, Swalot was firing Shadow Ball's and other attacks but Corphish had such stamina and was able to beat it! Opperation "Fill Swalot with Bubblebeam" was a HUGE success! Who would've thought it, eh?
Overall 10/10
This episode hasd so much excitment in it and "Advanced Adventure" aswell! What more could you ask for? Now I can't wait for next weeks episode...
Oh yeah, forgot about that- I really enjoyed the music in this episode. The battle music was great, and the version of "Advanced Adventure" they used was slightly different from the normal one- I liked it, kinda spiced it up a bit.
The Advanced Adventure was the Movie 6 version, which is super cool. I especially like the part at the end where it fades out.
Yes I did notice the different version of "Advanced Adventure", it was a really great version.
I just saw this episode. When did Corphish use Gillotine? When he was charging through the blue beam or something?
sadly that was false information, Corphish only shot a bubblebeam attack down Swalots mouth for the win, Guillotine was used by Masamunes GligarOriginally Posted by Zoramon089
I think corphish´s victory over swalot by pumping it with bubbles is much cooler than a out off the a*s guilotine. I was suprised by his attack which happens seldom in pokemon
Can someone please tell me where you all get the 2nd pokemon generation pictures?!
