Everybody loves Kung-Fu Fighting: Underused's Fighting types

Fighting is one of the best offensive STABs in the game; it hits five types super effectively, is only resisted by three types, and finally, one type is immune to it. It is no question that the Underused metagame is currently dominated by Fighting-types. If you aren't prepared for them, your team is going to fail. Very badly, I might add. With so many Fighting-types in the Underused tier, which one should you choose? Everything has its strengths and weaknesses, and this is no different; one man's meat is another man's poison. What are the selling points of some of the most prominent Underused threats? What makes them shout: "Pick me!"?

Without further ado, let's take a look at some of the potential candidates for your soon-to-be team!

Mienshao

 Type: Fighting
 Abilities: Inner Focus / Regenerator / Reckless
 Stats: 65 / 125 / 60 / 95 / 60 / 105

An extremely high Attack stat backed up by one of the highest Speed stats in UU, not to mention fair Special Attack, gives Mienshao bright prospects for a team. With Regenerator, it can regain one-third of its health every time it switches in, making U-turn extremely cost-effective and also making it rather difficult to wear down. A more offensive option in Reckless can be used to bolster the power of Hi Jump Kick to a gigantic 234 Base Power (after STAB). Hidden Power Ice can be used to counter Gligar, a common Fighting-type check, thanks to Mienshao's decent Special Attack.

Mienshao can sweep with a powerful Choice Scarf set, as the colossal power of a Reckless-boosted STAB Hi Jump Kick coming off base 125 Attack makes it a late-game bulldozer. It can also function as a powerful wallbreaker with Life Orb, or even use Swords Dance to set up an unstoppable sweep. Finally, Baton Pass sets can even be used, thanks to its access to several setup moves such as Swords Dance, Work Up, Calm Mind, and Substitute, backed up by its awesome Speed. However, one fault of Mienshao is that its Hi Jump Kick makes it fearful of Ghost-types and Protect users; its defensive stats are quite poor as well.

Heracross

 Type: Bug / Fighting
 Abilities: Swarm / Guts / Moxie
 Stats: 80 / 125 / 75 / 40 / 95 / 85

Heracross remains a popular choice for a Fighting-type in UU, and it's not hard to see why. It has two moves that have a massive 120 Base Power, and are further backed up by STAB and its large base 125 Attack. Psychic-types are not a problem for Heracross, thanks to STAB Megahorn, which makes it one of the few Fighting-types that can take down Slowbro, a common Fighting-type check. Moxie is an awesome ability, rewarding the kill streaks that Heracross can get. This makes a Choice Scarf set a great choice, as Heracross can function as a revenge killer and physical sweeper all in one. Guts is also a wonderful ability, allowing Heracross to switch into the ever-irritating moves Toxic and Will-O-Wisp.

Cobalion

 Type: Steel / Fighting
 Ability: Justified
 Stats: 91 / 90 / 129 / 90 / 72 / 108

One of the only two Steel / Fighting types in the game, Cobalion fulfills an extraordinary niche with its ever-so-useful Steel typing. Its Steel typing gives it a plethora of resistances, most notably to Bug, Dark, Grass, Ice, and Dragon, allowing it multiple opportunities to switch in and cause havoc. Additionally, a great base 129 Defense with a decent base 91 HP gives its Steel typing more credence. Furthermore, of all the Fighting-types in UU, Cobalion is the only one that does not fear Flying-types, forcing out the likes of Crobat with the threat of Stone Edge or Hidden Power Ice.

Cobalion functions wonderfully as a physical sweeper with Swords Dance, and thanks to its very high Speed and multiple setup opportunities, it can punch many holes in the opponent's team. A specially offensive set is not impossible either, as it possesses balanced attacking stats; however, it has a better physically offensive boosting move. Finally, a support set—utilizing Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, Volt Switch, and Taunt to cripple the opponent's team—is also a great option. However, a fault of Cobalion is that its attacking stats are relatively poor.

Machamp

 Type: Fighting
 Abilities: Guts / No Guard / Steadfast
 Stats: 90 / 130 / 80 / 65 / 85 / 55

Machamp boasts the highest Attack stat of all Fighting-types in UU. Don't let down your guard, because Machamp's No Guard lets it throw a 100% accurate, 100 Base Power STAB nuke in the form of DynamicPunch, dealing heavy damage to anything that does not resist it. It comes with the bonus of confusing your opponent, encouraging the use of hax while coming at absolutely no cost to Machamp (unless you consider having 8 PP a drawback). Furthermore, Machamp has a good movepool, being able to use Stone Edge (which also benefits from No Guard), Payback, Ice Punch, and ThunderPunch. However, Machamp is horribly slow and its bulk might not necessarily make up for it.

Virizion

 Type: Grass / Fighting
 Ability: Justified
 Stats: 91 / 90 / 72 / 90 / 129 / 108

The main selling point of Virizion is its Grass typing. Its STAB Leaf Blade is able to cut through Slowbro, a common Fighting-type check, as well as other bulky Waters such as Swampert and Milotic. A useful defensive typing—which gives it resistances to Water, Ground, Electric, and Grass—along with an extremely high base 129 Special Defense grants it multiple setup opportunities. It can run a Swords Dance set with Leaf Blade, Close Combat, and Stone Edge to be a fearsome sweeper, while a Calm Mind set makes it an unbreakable special tank. Furthermore, its great base 108 Speed only helps to benefit its sweeping capabilities. However, Virizion is quite weak before boosting and its 4x weakness to Flying makes it very susceptible to the likes of Crobat.

Scrafty

 Type: Dark / Fighting
 Abilities: Shed Skin / Moxie / Intimidate
 Stats: 65 / 90 / 115 / 45 / 115 / 58

Scrafty has great offensive STABs, being able to hit all of UU for neutral damage bar its main counter, Heracross. Unfortunately, Heracross happens to be extremely common in UU, and also competes with it for the role of a Fighting-type. Nonetheless, it gets great STABs in Hi Jump Kick and Crunch, as well as powerful boosting moves in Dragon Dance and Bulk Up. Furthermore, it gets one of the most coveted abilities in Moxie, making kill streaks very rewarding, and sufficient Speed boosts from Dragon Dance can spell imminent doom for your opponent. Shed Skin is also useful, as it automatically heals Scrafty of status one-third of the time, and thus fits well on the Bulk Up set. Scrafty is also surprisingly bulky, with large base 115 defenses. However, a fault of Scrafty is that it is weak to the common Flying and Fighting moves found in UU.

Hitmontop

 Type: Fighting
 Abilities: Intimidate / Technician / Steadfast
 Stats: 50 / 95 / 95 / 35 / 110 / 70

Hitmontop is one of the very few Rapid Spinners in UU. This gives it an exclusivity in its own right, and with Foresight it is able to prevent defensive Ghosts from blocking Rapid Spin. This is very helpful for potential teammates such as Yanmega and Chandelure which appreciate Stealth Rock being removed from the field. More importantly, Intimidate is a great ability as it neutralizes physical sweepers and also allows Hitmontop to counter some of them, such as Sharpedo and Scrafty. Its base 110 Special Defense is also a welcome trait on a Rapid Spinner. However, Hitmontop's base HP is horrendously low, and it is unable to deal with multiple threats in UU such as Azelf, Crobat, Cofagrigus, Victini,and many more.

Hitmonlee

 Type: Fighting
 Abilities: Limber / Reckless / Unburden
 Stats: 50 / 120 / 53 / 35 / 110 / 87

Hitmonlee is one of the few Pokemon in the game—let alone UU—with the ability Unburden. With its ability, Hitmonlee can double its Speed immediately and become an extremely threatening sweeper, like Yanmega and Sharpedo. That's not all Hitmonlee has going for it: it has a whopping base 120 Attack, a decent base 87 Speed, and great offensive options to utilize them with. Hitmonlee has a surprisingly high Special Defense to boot, which allows it to survive extremely powerful special attacks, such as Zapdos's Thunderbolt and Raikou's Extrasensory, and retaliate with a powerful attack of its own. Unfortunately, the fun ends there; Hitmonlee has an extremely low base 53 Defense, which makes it difficult for it to survive even resisted physical hits. However, with sufficient team support and good play, Hitmonlee can sweep whole teams.

Poliwrath

 Type: Water / Fighting
 Abilities: Water Absorb / Damp / Swift Swim
 Stats: 90 / 85 / 95 / 70 / 90 / 70

UU is a tier chock-full of both Fighting-types and bulky Water-types, so it would seem strange that Poliwrath would ever be a viable Pokemon in UU. However, unlike the rest of his karate brethren, Poliwrath was not designed to be a sweeper, but a psuedo-hazer. Poliwrath's solid bulk, great ability in Water Absorb, and access to Circle Throw allows it to assume a bulkier role on a team and take advantage of its teammates' entry hazards by forcing the opponent out. As mentioned, Poliwrath's Water Absorb ability allows it to be one of the few Pokemon in UU capable of switching into Scald and other Water-type attacks without fear of stray burns or severe damage, as the absorbed attack refills its HP. However, Poliwrath is burdened with middling attacking stats, multiple weaknesses to common Pokemon, and a Speed stat that leaves it outsped by a vast majority of the tier. Despite its downsides though, Poliwrath still makes for an excellent Pokemon for bulkier and stall teams.

Topic: Hot and Cold (04/09/09)
TITLE: A Non-Returnable Gift
By Anita van der Elst
Could he BE anymore of an epitome of the hot Latin lover? Her cheeks burned as the thought came unbidden.
Nola�s lips parted without any prompting from her brain in an answering smile. Words tumbled out.
�Uno, dose, tres,� she offered, as though counting stair steps. Aaagh, I can�t believe I said that. How inane. He�ll think I�m an absolute idiot. But it�s the only Spanish I know.
�Cuatro, cinco, seis.� His response came quick and playful.
In duet they counted, ending in laughter, �Siete, ocho, nueve, diez.�
�I�m Nola,� she reached out to shake hands. Xavier bowed, took her hand in his and lifting it slightly, placed a soft kiss on it. The spark, ignited in her heart, shot waves of heat through her body and soul.
�Xavier at your service,� he said. He spoke with a charming accent but it was obvious his command of the English language, not to mention of the female heart, was quite adequate.
�Would you like to lunch with me today?� he asked. �I have heard of American hamburgers and am eager to try.�
Is this for real? Here I am, eighteen years old, never had a date and this beautiful foreign visitor is asking me out!
�Of course,� Nola hoped he couldn�t tell how dry her throat was.
That first outing led to many more over the spring term and on into the hot summer. Xavier proved to be as passionate as he looked and Nola�s heart was entirely captured.
�You have made a wonderful, how you say, peekneek.� They sat in the park holding hands, the August sunset a masterpiece before them. Without letting go Xavier knelt before her, �I have now something to say, mi muy bonita Nola. God has given you to me. I love you forever and want to marry with you. Do you say yes?�
Tears gathered in Nola�s eyes as she gazed into his glistening ones, �Yes, oh yes, darling Xavier. You�ve made my dreams come true.�
Never had Nola felt so warm and safe as Xavier held her tightly. He murmured into her ear, �I must return home in September but your father agrees to my request for your hand in marriage when my studies are complete.�
At the airport Nola clung to him. �You�ll write to me, won�t you?�
�I will write to you every day, mi querida,� Xavier promised. �The next two years will go quickly and then I come to you. Te amo mucho, mi dulce corazon.�
A last kiss and he was gone.
Although not daily, long impassioned declarations of his love and desire for her arrived at least weekly. Nola almost set up camp next to the mailbox; she missed him so. Her messages went out to him every day�letters sealed with a kiss, romantic cards, sometimes cassette tapes of her recorded amorous whispers.
Then two weeks went by with no letter from Xavier to greet her. Finally a short card, saying he�d been busy with school and a sick mother, but still longing for his dulce corazon. Nola forgave him the anxiety she�d undergone only to have new anxiety mount when again the weeks passed with no notes of sweet love in her mailbox.
Is he ill? An accident? Revolution? Could it be�he no longer�loves me? It can�t be! He promised!
New Year�s came and with resolution Nola sought out advice from Adele, a short-term missionary just returned from El Salvador.
�Oh, my dear,� Adele grasped Nola�s hands in hers. �I know your young man. I�m so sorry to tell you. He is not the faithful gentleman your heart led you to believe. He has asked a young woman of his acquaintance to marry him. Their wedding is next week.�
Nola gasped, shivering, the news penetrating her heart like icicles. The romance born in spring�s warmth and nurtured through summer�s heat had arrived at winter�s icy end; her cold broken heart a non-returnable gift from a hot Latin lover.

With that in mind, THIS book is the exact opposite. I wrote in my "E and R" review that it carried all the trademark flaws of alternate history, but not only does "IP" lack these flaws, it also has (in all three stories) another positive alternative history quality that I had forgotten until just now: It ends with an indefinite conclusion. Why is that a positive quality? Because Star Trek (hey, history in general) doesn't have a finite ending. There is no "The End" or "...and they lived happily ever after...in space." because it's a tale that is meant to go on and on.
So needless to say, the stories were good, but for those of you still undecided, I'm gonna give you a little taste of what to expect.
While "A Less Perfect Union" was probably my least favourite story in this anthology, it was still a gem. To be fair, one of the reasons I didn't like it so much as the other two stories was probably because this one is based mostly on "Enterprise" and "The Original Series", which I have seen the least of the five Trek series.
Near the end of Enterprise's run they had an encounter with an Earth isolationist group called Terra Prime, intent on routing all non-humans from Earth space, and restricting Earth's stellar movements to commercial rather than exploratory goals.Read more ›
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
For this review, I'll tackle each story individually and then look at the themes that run through each of them and how they fit together as a whole, in comparison to the rest of recent Star Trek books. For brief story summaries, go the the book's Amazon Page.
A Less Perfect Union is a great start to the collection. First of all, the story flows in a natural fashion, particularly if you have a rough grasp of the background of the original series. These alternate or 'myriad' universes as they call them can create authorial nightmares in terms of exposition and development. Because of the established characters and the mental acknowledgement the reader has that these are going to be different, particularly The Original Series characters, its way too easy to overload on plot exposition and positioning characters within the new universe, but this story just does that very well. Particularly by gradually introducing characters in a natural fashion, like Doctor McCoy. The story itself isn't all that strong, mostly because a significant plot point requires a significant oversight by a major character, but the strength of the universe as a realistic and well-developed setting really makes this story work.
Places of Exile is in my opinion the weakest story of the three, but not really by the fault of the author, who did a fine job of building the characters of the arguably the worst Star Trek series. Where the story kind of hiccups is in Species 8472/Scourge/Groundskeepers, which I can't really blame the author for again because they were really difficult to flesh out. I was intrigued by the general plot premise, and thought the developing of the Delta Coalition to be just a whole lot of fun to experienced. Immigration issues are touched on in a political way, but again like a great deal of this collection just flows naturally. One thing that I really appreciated is the consequences of the deaths of the major characters. B'Elanna's collapse after the death of Tom was totally believable, espeically since it reminded my of the earlier seasons of Voyager, before it all descended into madness. Not only that, I missed Tuvok. There were moments where I just wanted to see Tuvok. So while the plot is a bit iffy, again the new setting works really well, the development of the Delta Coalition was natural (if way too fast timewise. No way Voyager could create a Delta Federation in under two years.) and well fleshed out, and they touched a grand scale that was great to see.
Seeds of Dissent is one of the best stories I've ever read period. Despite being the shortest story of the three, it flows in a natural fashion over a short period of time that makes it feel like you have experienced these events. The pacing is masterful, and the creativity on display was masterful. The development of the characters of Julian Bashir and Ezri Dax in particular were very well done. One of the literary techiniques that Swallow uses is a natural perspective shift. As the story begins, it begins through the perspective of Bashir, but as the plot quickens the perspective gradually to Ezri Dax. Not only that, but the characterization of Bashir is wonderful, and the universe-in-a-bottle that is created in the Defiance just feels authentic and very very unique. The only real weakness I feel is the crew of the Botany Bay, who feel like filler rather than actualy characters, but that just seems like a consequence of the direction of the plot. But overall, quite simply on of the best stories I've ever read.
As a whole, these stories work really well together. The universes are each truly unique, touching on great points. Thematically though with each universe, is that the standard Star Trek universe isn't necessarily better. The best example is Places in Exile, where the what-if scenario is explicitly 'better' than how the canon universe turned out to be. In most other alternate universe stories, the universe is distinctly worse, but these scenarios aren't necessarily worse. While A Less Perfect Union and Seeds of Dissent universes had discintly negative turning point, but these universes have a natural feel to them that even the Alternate Universe doesn't have. In the end, the transition from the Alternate Universe to these Myriad Universes is a great transition for the Star Trek book series, that allows a creative foundation while freeing the authors to create very realistic and unique universes. Kudos to the authors for taking this concept and executing it exceptionally well.
Overall 9.0/10
The other two stories are equally good, but are much more reference-heavy (especially "Seeds of Dissent"; make sure you've read Greg Cox's Khan books and seen "Tomorrow is Yesterday" (TOS), "11:59" (VOY), and "Future's End" (VOY)) and the casual fan may not get it. Still, great stories.
I like the whole Myriad Universe idea, especially now that the Mirror Universe stuff is about at mined-out as it can be. Good read, can't wait for the sequel next month.
"A Less Perfect Union" features Christopher Pike at the helm and James T. Kirk as his second in command. Characters from throughout the original canon appear, including the animated series. I rated it tops until I read "Seeds of Dissent" the DS9 version in the book.
Again, capturing elements from earlier mainstream stories, it ranks as one of the few stories I've ever read that I could not stop once I had started it, and that is in the Trek universe or any other work of fiction -- and I write from the perspective of a 61 year old Trekker (I was there when it started). When Kirk banished Khan to Ceti Alpha 5, Spock wondered what it would be like to see what crop sprang from the seed they had planted. James Swallow lets us see what happened when Khan won the Eugenics War. Outstanding!
"Places of Exile," the Voyager installment, reads like one of the early Next Generation TV shows -- tea and talk. If you don't have anything else to read, read it, but you won't miss much by skipping it.
But don't let that stop you from buying this book!
You'll enjoy how each story tends to capture the spirit of the original series. Each story, to me, comes with a lesson or moral that the writer is putting out for the audience to pick-up on. I was beside myself with the greatness of 'A Less Than Perfect Union'. This story is a blend of Star Trek: Enterprise and the Original Series. This was your classic original series episode with a twist; what would have happened if Starfleet and the Star Trek universe had not been as open minded and in turn was xenophobic? An elderly T'Pol (seen on the cover) is the last surviving member of Archer's Enterprise and through her, we see the alternate history of Enterprise and Pike/Kirk dealing with an Earth that isn't so great. The last novel, 'Seeds of Dissent' takes on a similar theme of exploring the question of 'who writes the history?' as Khan manages to reign over Earth and a rather interesting group of people threaten Khan's legacy and force a genetically enhanced Bashir to re-evaluate the past. Both of these stories, for me, were on the epic scale and a fun read with an actual lesson.
What you may not like is the quick-pace of many of the stories. While it worked for "A Less Than Perfect Union" and "Seeds of Dissent", it didn't work as well for "Places of Exile". The Voyager story came off as the most fan-fiction of the novellas. This was more like a different take or spoof of "Year of Hell" as there are few lessons to be learned and this was just pure entertainment. It wasn't bad but by the end, the story felt rather forced and cheesey. I also felt that even with this being a 'different view' of Star Trek: Voyager, the characters felt very off and unbelievable. This problem also arises in 'Seeds in Dissent' as Kira and Dukat, as well as Bashir, aren't really given any foundation and read as if they are rather plain and stiff, if not over-the-top.
In all, a good read. Yes, there is a fan-fic lining to some of the stories but that's to be expected. What made 'Infinity's Prism' such a good read was that it accomplished the goal of exploring some interesting 'what if' situations in Trek and as you're reading it, your mind begins to run wild with your own ideas of other stories that could be told. I liked that some stories, such as "A Less Than Perfect Union" weren't just entertaining - it was thought provoking and a great allegory to modern times. I enjoyed the 'dark' theme seen in 'Deep Space Nine' running throughout "Seeds of Dissent" which features a host of DS9 characters. Definitely worth your time and money.

Opening Bazin: Postwar Film Theory and Its Afterlifeby Dudley Andrew, Herve Joubert-Laurencin
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 04/01/2011
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
André Bazin remains one of the most read, most studied, and most engaging figures ever to have written about film. Fifty years after his death, he is still widely recognized as cinema's most significant philosopher-critic. Always an important presence within cinema theory, Bazin has seen a massive resurgence of interest among critics, scholars, and students
André Bazin remains one of the most read, most studied, and most engaging figures ever to have written about film. Fifty years after his death, he is still widely recognized as cinema's most significant philosopher-critic. Always an important presence within cinema theory, Bazin has seen a massive resurgence of interest among critics, scholars, and students now that an electronic archive of his entire critical output has been catalogued. Opening Bazin assesses the great critic's influence and legacy, with essays from several generations of the very best film scholars: Gunning, Frodon, Margulies, Conley, MacCabe, Narboni, and Vernet, to name just a few. Ultimately, these essays reaffirm Bazin's relevance in this new century, tracing his lineage, debating his aesthetics, locating him in the rich cultural moment of postwar France, and tracking the effect of his thought around the world.

Robert John Langdon's trilogy 'Prehistoric Britain' tells the true story of Britain and the Megalithic People who built the stone monuments of Stonehenge, Avebury , Woodhenge (Durrington Walls).
Built 5,000 years earlier than present estimates as a spa to cure the sick. The ditch around Stonehenge is a moat which was full of pure water and the Bluestones were use as 'bath salts' to cure the biggest killer of that period - cut and bite infections.
Durrington Walls is the site of a
large Neolithic settlement
and later henge enclosure located in the Stonehenge World Heritage
Site. It is 2 miles north-east of Stonehenge in the parish of
Durrington, just north of Amesbury.
Recent Excavations (2013) on the site by a team led by the University of Sheffield, has revealed a huge settlement; 1,000 homes have been found, supporting a population of 4,000 people at one time. The village was carbon dated to about 2600 B.C.
It is the "largest Neolithic settlement in the whole of northern Europe". At 500m in diameter, the henge is the largest in Britain and recent evidence suggests that it was a complementary monument to Stonehenge.
Stone Circles on the coasts of Northern Europe were originally direction indicators of the boat civilisation of Doggerland in the Mesolithic Period. Ships navigators would use the stone circles to find other safe harbours throughout the area. When the waters receded in the Neolithic Period - stone circles were introduced to indicated the direction of inland sites in conjunction with Round Barrows.
12,000 years ago the last Ice Age finally melted, revealing the Britain we know today...
Britain had been underneath two miles of ice and the
surrounding seas had frozen solid. What was left was a huge icy mass of
enormous weight, pushing down on this tiny island. This mass had
compressed the earth so much that the land surface lay at least a half
a mile below the sea bed as we know it today.
So what exactly happened after the great ice age melt?
This huge mass of watery ice that covered Britain raised the groundwater tables and left the land totally saturated. In fact, the volume of water was so great that it eventually created the English Channel and the North & Irish Seas. Very slowly, the land then started to rebound, so slowly in fact that even now, parts of Britain are still rising about one cm per year. This melting ice combined with the lowering of the land levels created not the single island called Britain we know today, but a series of smaller islands and waterways - totally unrecognisable to the landscape that is so familiar to us now.
Moreover, the land became a sub-tropical forest as the warmer climate that first melted the polar ice caps encouraged the growth of abundant foliage. This would very probably have caused the islands to experience what we would consider today to be monsoon seasons. Which in turn then kept groundwater tables abnormally high for another 4,000 years? The foliage, groundwater and warm climate would have left the islands resembling more like the Amazonian rain forest, rather than the grassy hills of Britain we see today.
The only way our Mesolithic
ancestors of Britain could have
had to adjust to this new environment would have been to develop and
use their boat and seamanship skills. Consequently, adapting to living
and trade by these shorelines travelling via the vast waterways and
lakes rather than through the forests, which would have been riddled
with dangers such as brown
bears, packs of wolfs
and wild boar all
roaming freely. Therefore, the shorelines became critical – our
Mesolithic ancestors would have
lived, worked and gathered by these
'super-waterways' and would have created social monuments and beacons
on there beaches and peninsulas.
My hypothesis proposes that our greatest prehistoric monuments, such as Stonehenge, were built on these watery peninsulas. I also propose that the ditches surrounding henges were NOT dry ditches, as archaeologists currently believe, but were, in fact, constructed to be watery moats and canals, which turned these sites into very special islands. The most astonishing aspect of this hypothesis is that even today, thousands of years after the groundwater have subsided, we can re-visit these sites and identify the ports and channels of this bygone age and by using the landscape, we can date, more accurately than ever before, when the sites were initially constructed.
Another key component of my hypothesis is the discovery of navigational signposts (Long Barrows), built within the landscape, on the banks of these waterways. Traditionally, archaeologists have believed that these had religious or ceremonial use, whereas my evidence shows that they had a more functional engineering purpose, helping our ancestors to navigate around these islands.
In fact, the book will show for the first time, that these signposts guided our ancestors when they transported enormous stones from the Preseli Mountains in Wales to the site at Stonehenge – by boat. These very stones were used to build the first phase this magnificent monument. Even more importantly, I can show the exact location of where these vast stones were unloaded from the boats and how this precious cargo and the mechanism used to lifted onto shore.
This discovery of this landing site has led us to accurately date for the first time the original construction date of Stonehenge - 7500BC to 8000BC. This is 5,000 years earlier than current archaeological estimations, making Stonehenge probably the oldest Stone Monument in the world.
1. Ten thousand year old boats found on Britain's Hillsides - 7,000 years before they were invented.
2. Gigantic Prehistoric Canals - that are technically superior to even Victorian engineering.
3. Roman ports miles away from the coast – when sea levels are apparently rising.
4. Raised Beaches - that have never met the sea.
5. Giant skeletons - found by French archaeologists now dismissed by today's scientists.
6. Mythological Dragons - a non-existent animal that is shared by the world.
7. Sunken land of the North Sea - was the world's oldest and greatest civilisation.
8. Troy was located in Turkey - although it took Jason ten years to get home to Greece.
9. Antler Picks that built ancient Monuments - yet there is no real evidence for this myth.
10. Recent Landscape Flooding & Storms - the secret our ancient ancestors knew about Britain's weather.
11. Alexander the Great sailed into India - where no rivers exist today.
12. Columbus was the first western man to reach America - yet bones and tools suggest that Europeans came 10,000 years earlier.
13. Quantum of Solstice – Pythagoras triangles show that Stonehenge holds mathematical s ecrets before its time.

Music to Your Ears
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
My Name Is Albert Ayler
Listening to free jazz is like gazing into a world beyond reason, lacking discernible form--it's what emerges from the human brain before being rendered by any structural or harmonizing filters, a musical stream of consciousness. This cacophony can also be downright stressful. While challenging, such chaos has the potential to reward its listener with momentary glimpses into unseen transfigurations of existence.

He pulls from Afro-Cuban, bebop, free jazz and Middle Eastern traditions, among others, to tailor tunes to his personnel. Though it has the punch and power, the textures and polyphony of a big band, this aggregation also has the nimbleness and elasticity of a small combo, with lively ensemble playing and adventurous soloing.

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
A check engine light can indicate a broad spectrum of problems with your 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada. In some cases you need to pull over immediately to prevent damage while in others you merely need to tighten you gas cap next time you stop in order to reset the service engine soon light. The video above shows how to locate the on board diagnostics (OBD) plug on your 2001 Bravada, how to read the trouble codes and how to reset or clear the check engine light using a scanner on your Bravada.
Intermittent Check Engine Light: If the check engine light on your 2001 Bravada is intermittent, try to take note of the conditions when this happens. For example, does it happen when you accelerating, driving on the highway or does it appear at low speeds? This will help your mechanic evaluate the issue. Steady Check Engine Light: If your check engine light is on every time you operate your Bravada, you need to have it checked as soon as possible, especially if you notice performance problems or unusual noises. Flashing Check Engine Light: If your check engine light is flashing, stop driving your Bravada and have it towed to your nearest mechanic - you probably have a very serious problem with your car and you risk ruining your engine by driving it. If you are unsure about what your diagnostic trouble codes mean; have your Bravada diagnosed by a professional automotive technician.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Muscular dystrophy, Duchenne
- Muscular dystrophy, pseudohypertrophic progressive, Duchenne type
Your QuestionSeveral members of my husband's family are carriers of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. My husband does not have the disease. What are the chances of passing on this condition to any children we may have?
Our Answer
We have identified the following information that we hope you find helpful. If you still have questions, please contact us.
Questions on this page
What is Becker muscular dystrophy?
How do people inherit Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy?
In about two thirds of cases, an affected male inherits the mutation from a mother who carries an altered copy of the DMD gene. The other one third of cases probably result from new mutations in the gene.[4]
In X-linked recessive inheritance, a female with one mutated copy of the gene in each cell is called a carrier. She can pass on the altered gene, but usually does not experience signs and symptoms of the disorder. Occasionally, however, females who carry a DMD mutation may have muscle weakness and cramping. These symptoms are typically milder than the severe muscle weakness and atrophy seen in affected males. Females who carry a DMD mutation also have an increased risk of developing heart abnormalities including dilated cardiomyopathy.[4]
If Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy run in my husband's family, what are the chances that our children will have the condition?
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Because of the difference in sex chromosomes, the probability of passing on an X-linked recessive disorder also differs between men and women. The sons of a man with an X-linked recessive disorder will not be affected, and his daughters will carry one copy of the mutated gene (illustration). With each pregnancy, a woman who carries an X-linked recessive disorder has a 50 percent chance of having sons who are affected and a 50 percent chance of having daughters who carry one copy of the mutated gene (illustration).[5]
Although the chances of inheriting a genetic condition appear straightforward, factors such as a person's family history and the results of genetic testing can sometimes modify those chances. In addition, some people with a disease-causing mutation never develop any health problems or may experience only mild symptoms of the disorder. Estimating the chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder can be complex. Genetics professionals can help people understand these chances and help them make informed decisions about their health.[5]
How can I find a genetics professional in my area?

I know what you are thinking: Tips on how to get a better run? How about being happy that you run at all, right?
We hear you. Running can be hard, especially if it's new to you. You can barely run a mile one week and the next, it seems like you can run for miles and miles. It can take some time and practice to get in that kind of running groove, but you could be making your runs harder if you aren't following these tips.
August 01, 2013 / Category: Fitness Advisor
We have been seeing, addressing and treating this problem for years, far too many years. There are few things that frustrate us more than coaches and athletes who refuse to alternate their track workouts into the clockwise direction to help avoid the repetitious detrimental training effects of continued and repeated counterclockwise track training.
Here is a study from 2000 that tends to validate a causal link to our point. The study confirms a statistically significant asymmetrical strength development in the hindfoot invertor and evertor muscle groups.
July 19, 2013 / Category: Fitness Advisor
On those hot, miserable days when you just want to hit the outdoors for a run, what is it exactly that makes it so miserable? Is it the heat? The humidity?
Actually, it turns out that it's neither. What's really making those runs so exhausting is something you might overlook during your daily weather check: the dew point.

(Gambit Magazine)
(New Orleans Magazine)
Meet the attractive female author of a photographic book about the subject near and dear to me heart, the great bars of New Orleans.
Meet this photojournalist ("You can't miss me--I've got long red hair") in a famous old French Quarter tavern at happy hour, have a few cocktails with her and discover she has the same passions for the saloons of New Orleans that you do, for the stories that have been told in them, the lives that have passed through them, the loose tongues that have wagged in them, their beauty, their crustiness and their timelessness.
Delightful, engaging and very Irish Kerri McCaffety, a 31-year -old Texas native who came to Tulane University to study premed, graduated in anthropology and becomes an accomplished photographer of home interiors, has told the history of new Orleans through bars in her exquisite "Obituary Cocktail; The Great Saloons of New Orleans"(Pontalba Press).
Sitting at a table in the bar of Tujague's (est. 1856) on Decatur Street one recent afternoon, she recounted how she was quickly seduced by the city's charms. "I had been to New Orleans before Tulane. I always loved the look of New Orleans, but the feel of it, it was so relaxed. It's so colonial. It feel like I'm in a Graham Green novel. I just fell in love with the city." And its bars.
"Cocktails and bars seems to be a strange metaphor for the city. The timelessness of bars seems to bring out the friendliness of people. Even people who don't drink have their inhibitions lowered when they come to New Orleans," she said.
Before barhopping from the Napoleon House and jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop to Bud Rip's and Parasol's, McCaffety begins her photojournalistic escapade with a quote from Clarence Darrow that sets the tone:
"Take out of this world the men who have drunk, down through the past, and you would take away all the poetry and literature and practically all the works of genius that the world has produced. What kind of a poem do you supposed you would get out of a glass of ice-water?"
Well, you won't find it in this book, thats for sure.
In her research, McCaffety unlocked long-lost secrets of many of these establishments. The title of the book, "
The popular absinthe produced by the Period family in France contained wormwood MaCaffety found. Wormwood not only has insecticide properties, but it contains a chemical similar to one found in marijuana. the profound reactions some had to the intoxicating psychoactive combination was blamed for all kinds of misbehaviors, not excluding murder. by 1912 absinthe was banned in the United States, but its aperitif cousins, Period and Herbsaint live on, without the wormwood.
Hence the name, Obituary cocktail. "Death and drinking, that's what New Orleans is all about, " she said, Especially when you consider our famous centuries.
Three years and many drinks in the making the book went through many stages, but there's no doubt it began with the Napoleon House, McCaffety's favorite bar. It was there where her anthropological subconscious may have factored into the direction she eventually headed.
"I was sitting in there drooling over the way the paint was peeling off the wall. It was a very organic color that looks like 17th century painting. I was getting tired of shooting houses that were clean and perfect." the Napoleon House is a place that not only has stayed the same way for generations and disdained change, but epitomizes the stylish decadence of new Orleans. It was a perfect start for her photography and research about why New Orleans is so crazy about Napoleon. She sold the story to a magazine, then moved on to the next bar and decided that to study what a culture surrounds itself with would be "very anthropological."
And that would be bars and more bars.
Over the bar at the blacksmith Shop she found an inscription in French scrawled by Portuguese sailors in about 1820: " Love makes time fly; time makes love fly."
In bars, besides alcohol, there is wisdom.
We learn that during Prohibition, rum runners from Belize then British Honduras, tossed sacks filled with rum and whiskey overboard into shallow marshes along the river's edge as their ships approached port in the Gulf. when they got into port customs officers would search and find nothing. the smugglers would go back and retrieve their liquor later. One roguish smuggler went so far as to name his vessel "Look Me over," practically taunting the customs officers. For more than 12 years, this is one way the illegal bars of the city were supplied.
During this same era, when the Volstead Act reigned, McCaffety came up with this story: "In the dry days of the 1920's Federal Agent Isagore Einstein (apparently no relation to the genius) traveled around America testing how easily he could acquired liquor in different cities. As Einstein ranked cities according to the time it took to get a drink, New Orleans came in firs. Einstein stepped off the train in the big Easy and bought an illegal alcoholic beverage in 37 seconds."
McCaffety was stunned by how photogenic so many of the bars were, which spurred her on to more research and work and is all reflected in her efforts. But there was another motive that kept her going. It seems some year back there was this crazy rumor, she said, that Disney was thinking about buying the French Quarter.
"OhmyGod! Simulated faux New Orleans! Now i wanted to document this for me, if no one else."
In Obituary Cocktail,you'll find recipes for drinks not made in a century and recipes for drinks served that same way for 200 years. McCaffety got a bunch of friends together and tried them all to make sure all the recipes worked.
"I can't drink that much liquor," She said. "it was quite a challenge. but look at it this way: Its anthropology."

Mrs. Newland's Biology Classes Wiki
This wiki will be used to post student work and have it be peer edited for the Intensive Biology Darwin Times project.
The final product- the articles that are chosen- will be published to another website
The Darwin Times
What do I need to do?
Use the navigation bar at the left hand side of this page to choose the section of the newspaper that you are writing for. All students (as individuals or as a pair) need to write and post at least one article. You will post your article on the page of the section of the newspaper you are writing for. You may type right on the page, or link to a saved file. You should always save your work to source besides this wiki (ex: flashdrive, email, under your name, etc.). I would recommend attaching it as a saved file (.doc or .docx)
All students need to post constructive editing comments to at least 2 articles. Choose a subject of interest and read it. To post your comments, go to the discussion tab at the top the page of the section of newspaper you are interested in (this doesn't have to be the same section you are writing for, it could be any of them).
Post your CONSTRUCTIVE criticism about their article. The purpose of these posts is to help the student improve their article. By just posting, "good job!" or "this is terrible", they are not going to be helped, and you will not receive credit for your post. Mrs. Newland has final say over what is a legite editing post.
Students are encouraged to respond to any posts that have to do with their article, as well as edit their original article. You are required to respond to at least 1 peer editing comment.
Check it out!
A sample article is under the news section. Sample posts and replies are there as well.
Remember these tips for effective newspaper writing from Muscatine Journal editor Chris Steinbach:
1. Lede- your first sentence- grabs the reader's attention, is short and to the point
2. Nutgraph- a summary of what the article is about, contains the who, what, where, when, why, and how (if you read nothing else but this paragraph, you would know what the article is about). The nutgraph should be somewhere in the 1st 4-5 paragraphs.
3. Quotes- put a good quote (with the person's name spelled correctly!) in the 1st 4 or 5 paragraphs, as well as another one near the end of the article, build towards the quote at the end.
4. Strong ending- don't just stop when you are out of facts, have a concluding quote, sentence, or paragraph.

There are features of CPPUnit2 that I want and some of which I need (esp. Test case annotation). However, it's state is cleary still under development. How mature is it? How much is it likely to change? Is an initial or beta release 6 months away, or 2 years?
I am at a crossroads where I either need to
a) Use the dev-code and live with the issues related to that
b) hold off on the work I would like to do with those features because a release or release candidate is not too far off
c) Use some other method (i.e. I was playing with the idea of a JavaDocs or Doxygen style solution), and possibly merge that with the existing test reports.
d) write custom additions to the released CPPUnit code base to support my needs (and if there is interest, I can stabilize those additions enough to share back)
If anyone can give me a general feeling of the state of CPPUnit2, it would be greatly appreciated.
I am working on unit testing indoctrination and integration of unit testing into my departmental processes. One of the requirements or goals we have is to connect software requirements and design decisions to the test cases that implement them. During maintenance, we could also connect the bug reports to the tests written to reproduce and verify the fix for a bug.
For general discussion, here is what I am doing, and what my goals are:
Initially, I am working with a spreadsheet to manually keep track of that, but by introducing unit testing to the rest of the department, I want to make it as easy as possible for developers to maintain that mapping from test case to the documentation that describes the behaviour under testing. The CPPUNIT2 test attribute tree looks to be perfect for this, and I am working on the assumption that the information will be part of the XML report generated, so that we can connect it to our web based QA/QC management system.

How can the experience of blood donation be redesigned? In the U.K., where I live, only 4 percent of eligible people donate, despite great need. For our final project in 'Innovation Design Engineering,' a double graduate degree at The Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, Dan McLaughlin, James Wright, Zhanling Feng and I embarked on a mission to re-imagine the future of mobile blood donation in the U.K. and subsequently the world.
The early research stages involved finding out our blood types, discussing barriers to donation, talking to stakeholders and visiting mobile and permanent blood donation units, where Dan and Zhanling gave blood.
There are several challenges with the current system. We found out that less than 40 percent of the U.K. population know their blood type—finding out through doctors is expensive, and the alternative is purchasing a kit online. On average, it takes 11 people an hour to set up a mobile donation area. Injuries from needles is another problem, and cost the NHS up to £650,000 ($1,008,865) per incident; in 2011 there were 118 injuries.
Increased participation and re-donation is necessary for the future, as the population ages and increases. Catching young donors is particularly important. We wanted to improve the mobile blood donation service on the whole: for donors, donation staff and the NHS Blood Service.
We ended up creating Haemobility, a re-imagination of mobile blood donation. Haemobility addresses the need for wider and returning participation within our growing and aging population. Through Haemobility, we're aiming for greater awareness of blood donation, a better experience for donors, and increased safety for medical staff.
A simple and intuitive low-cost testing device, available in first aid kits and sent with official application forms, reveals blood type. Haemobility increases the visibility of the blood donation process in daily life with blood stocks shown in visual media and through the dispersal of new hyper-mobile blood donation units, each designed to deliver ten donations per day.
Our system utilises a completely online sign-up, while the units allow for donations to take place in diverse locations, making tasks easier and safer for nurses, and making the experience better for donors by cutting donation time down from 1.5 hours to 15 minutes. Later, donors receive feedback about their blood destination, validating their donation.
The new safer needle carrier design is less intimidating and reduces the chance of needlestick injuries for donation staff, with a retractable needle and sea mammal-inspired form that sits steady on the donor's arm.
By delivering an enhanced experience and innovative equipment, Haemobility encourages increased participation within a larger, more diverse pool of lifetime donors.
This Friday I will donate blood for the first time. Having tried to put myself in the mindset of key stakeholders and visualizing a human-focused experience that will raise donations, has allowed me to feel a responsibility towards giving and a connection towards my role within the system.

Don't expect a view of the ocean-- there are few rooms that have one (unless you are an owner, which we are not). We knew this before we went, so we didn't get our panties in a wad about it. We had one of the so-called dreaded "parking lot" views, but let me tell you a bit about this. We were on the 4th floor, so high enough that we didn't really look down on a parking lot, but out across at beautiful trees, and these gorgeous trees were FILLED with birds, so early morning reminded me of Bali -- every bird in the world welcoming the day.
The only downside to a room facing the parking lot is the noise -- people seriously have no sense. The noise echoes and bangs around -- I was awakened many times by idiots who felt they had to relive recent experiences at the top of their lungs whilst exiting their cars in the dead of night. Really, folks? You are NOT the only acorns in the tree, so if it's dark, just SHHHHHHH already! We came up with a sign they should post in the parking lot "Noisy idiots in parking lots will be fed to the feral chickens -- please tamper your enthusiasm after dark." I like it.
The staff was wonderful and this is truly the first place (out of about 12 timeshare stays) were we were NOT pushed, cajoled, or even lightly encouraged to have the "TIMESHARE TALK" -- they just let us be. Heaven.
The only meal we ate on site was the first night, and it was by the pool. Expensive, but SERIOUSLY well done meal. We were amazed! I had a few drinks by the pool during my stay, and they met with my satisfaction as well.
The pools are wonderful, really beautiful and clean, but why go in a pool when you can swim in such an amazing ocean? The beach is LOVELY, and fun to watch the surfers and paddle boarders to the right. Just sitting in a beach chair and hanging out was heavenly.
I cooked the entire time -- kitchen was extremely well equipped and enjoyable. We shopped farmer's markets during our whole stay -- pricey, but everything on Kauai is that way. Such wonderful produce!!!! We lived on fresh pineapple and other fruit.
People need to get over themselves about the feral chickens -- they are a hoot and not a nuisance at ALL. They are all part of the Kauai lore. We loved them.
I loved Koloa Town -- we spent a lot of time there.
It poured heavy rain and stormed and blew -- made the front page of the newspaper -- but we didn't care. The room was extremely comfy, the bed was heavenly -- everything was clean and beautiful. Would we stay here again? YES, YES, and YES -- even with a parking lot view!!!!

July 21, 2016, by Lynne M - Dyfed, UK - United Kingdom
A well made detailed costume, bought for my 5yr old for a party. Bought a medium size as he's quite tall for his age, it was v generous, trousers were long on him but top not too bad. Top quite see through so added a T- shirt underneath. Worth the money as it looks more expensive than £6/7 paid. Only issue was with the Velcro belt part was coming off and didn't look right when on, so I unpicked it and added black string either side to match the top. Overall a fab product.
October 2, 2015, by Lisa I - Leicestershire, UK - United Kingdom
Great outfit and speedy delivery
February 10, 2014, by Claire C - Birmingham, UK - United Kingdom
I brought this for my 5 year old son. The medium fitted him well. I thought that this was an excellent costume for the money and my son loved it. I also purchased the toy sword, eye patch and earring which also looked great.
