Social Phobia Patients Have Heightened Reactions To Negative Comments
In a study using functional brain imaging, NIMH scientists found that when people with generalized social phobia were presented with a variety of verbal comments about themselves and others ("you are ugly," or "he's a genius," for example) they had heightened brain responses only to negative comments about themselves. Knowledge of the social cues that trigger anxiety and what parts of the brain are engaged when this happens can help scientists understand and better treat this anxiety disorder.
Generalized social phobia (GSP) is the most common of all anxiety disorders. It is marked by overwhelming anxiety and self-consciousness in social situations. One approach to understanding anxiety disorders is to use functional brain imaging (fMRI) to explore how the brain responds to different types of social signals. fMRI can provide information on the relative activity—and thus the engagement—of different parts of the brain by tracking the local demands made for oxygen delivered by circulating blood. Scientists using this technology have reported, for example, that people with GSP have heightened responses to a variety of positive, negative, and neutral facial expressions, not just expressions that others perceive as threatening.
Results of this Study
People with GSP had heightened responses to negative comments (relative to a comparison group without the disorder) in two brain areas: the first, the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), is involved in the sense and evaluation of self; the second, the amygdala, is central to emotional processing. The responses revealed by scanning paralleled the participants' self-report of how they felt after seeing the various positive, negative, and neutral comments presented.

During prohibition, it was all about the speakeasy – the places existed, but you had to know someone who could tell you where to go. If you want to know where to go in any city of the world, the good places are always tucked away.
Shisha Bar & Grill is no different. The secretive murmurings of those who talk about it, are because they want to keep it to themselves. Occasionally, word gets out, and that's how you'll find it. Walking in, you're immediately immersed into an atmosphere reminiscent of something straight out of the industrial back streets of New York.
Choices abound, and the first decision of the night starts with which of the wonderfully creative spaces to sit in. You can feel a mood shift as you move through the separate areas… open & cruisy, close & intimate, buzzing with activity or laidback. Whichever you choose, you're guaranteed an escape from the realities of every day. There is a steady stream of locals who love to dine here for the simple, delicious food and the unassuming clientele. People watchers rejoice with the theatrics of staff and guests alike.
Offering dinner 6 nights a week, Shisha Bar & Grill is upbeat and funky, with prime cuts of steak available from the grill, and divine burgers just waiting for you to sink your teeth into. Fresh, seasonal produce sourced locally fills out the rest of the menu items.
Some of the favourites include the specially prepared Southern Fried Chicken Wings, with their crispy skin and herbs and spices that create a fantasy world of flavours with each bite. Slow cooked pork belly with chargrilled pineapple and kiss peppers is the perfect combination of sweet and savoury. Lamb & pine nut dumplings in creamy house made yoghurt is a must try.
On Saturday and Sunday morning, the vibe shifts gears into a provedore inspired hotspot for breakfast and lunch, offering up plenty of variety, including the popular breakfast boards and fresh juices. For the sweet tooth, french toast made with brioche and served with berries, or try the pan-fried poached eggs with shredded haloumi if you want a real breakfast treat!
It wasn't always like this though. Originally a successful fine dining middle-eastern restaurant and local favourite, Shisha Bar & Grill underwent a transformation in 2013, with the new setup evoking adjectives like Rustic, Industrial, Casual, and Cool. Recycled materials form much of the décor, and the longer you spend here, the more you will discover. Recycled fence palings frame the bench seating, reused metal piping is used as part of the handmade lamps that hang over the tables. Herb gardens in wine barrels line the sidewalk, and fresh produce doubles as decoration along the sidewalk and throughout the restaurant.
Shisha Bar & Grill creates its own environment… instead of being a product of the environment that surrounds it. The results are stunning and will keep you coming back for more.

Brought up on a diet of comic books, tabloid newspapers, and football magazines (Shoot, Match Weekly, etc) and 'educated' in a Socialist-inspired 'comprehensive' school, I wasn't really equipped for my future career as an international journalist. But then something very strange and bewitching happened - I discovered 'THE DOCTOR,' as we acolytes refer to him, and started mentally working out on his long, finely wrought sentences.
At first, each seemingly interminable sentence was like trying to swim the English Channel - I thought I would drown before reaching the other end - but, somehow, I survived and found myself on dry land, confused and wet, but nevertheless alive and raring to have another go.
In the months that followed, the good doctor's erudite style became Mother's milk to me as I progressively beefed up my English. This enabled me to grab a place at the prestigious university of Thames Polytechnic and, then, on graduation, to a career writing for a wide range of excellent publications, including Riff Raff, Tokyo Notice Board, and the Wall Street Journal.
The great thing about THE DOCTOR's prose is that he uses a disproportionate number of abstract nouns, which means you have to mentally provide your own examples. At first this can be extremely challenging, but if you stick with it, your brain will become, as mine has, a potent and expressive tool.
It's a bit of a misnomer to call this anthology "The Major Works," because the principle guiding the original selection (under a different title) was to provide a diverse sampling of what he'd written -- and included items which would never be considered "major works" (such as a Latin school exercise and letters). They are worth reading, but not "major works." That having been said, as an *anthology* of Johnson's writings, this is the one to get.
Oxford's anthology of Samuel Johnson's writings is superior to Penguin's because it is more comprehensive, and displays more of his variety, as well as more of what he is known for. In comparison to the Penguin anthology, this collection includes all of Johnson's short fiction "Rasselas" (an excellent book -- read my review of it in the Penguin edition of Rasselas): Penguin will ask you to buy a separate copy of Rasselas on top of their anthology. In addition, Oxford's anthology offers extracts of "Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland" (Penguin has a separate volume of that, although there it is complete and coupled with Boswell's companion piece).
The Oxford anthology offers 40 periodic essays (Ramblers, Adventurers, & Idlers), a form for which he is well known; plus his prefaces to Shakespeare and the Dictionary; the major poems (chief among them "London" and "The Vanity of Human Wishes"); a sermon; an extract of a Parliamentarian debate; his Life of Boerhaave; his review of Soame Jenyn's "A Free Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Evil," his political pamphlet "The Patriot," an extract from a law lecture, extracts from "The Lives of The Poets", some letters... At over 800 pages, this is very comprehensive.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Putting the "self back in self-help" is the stated goal of this exuberant explication of a different therapy approach-solution-oriented brief therapy (SBT), "enabling most people to resolve their problems in three to six sessions." Therapist Weiner-Davis (Divorce Busting) eschews the whys of problems and instead identifies possible solutions that allow some people to feel better about their lives without undergoing extended therapy, and often without the intervention of a therapist. Unorthodox in its approach, SBT uncovers creative solutions shown to work in the vignettes of counseling sessions presented here. Replete with practical problem-solving ideas, this presentation demonstrates an empowering technique that is the polar opposite of the "inner-child" scenario. Illustrations. First serial to Cosmopolitan and Ladies' Home Journal; author tour.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Booklist
Weiner-Davis explains her title, "When I say `fire your shrink,' what I am really urging you to do is to fire antiquated, ineffectual ways of thinking about problems and how to solve them." She contends that getting to the root of why you have problems does not solve them. The author, a professional therapist, is spitting in the face of contemporary practices and calling for SBT, Solution-Oriented Brief Therapy, which focuses on positive self-affirmation and the pursuit of resolutions. Through anecdotal case studies, she demonstrates how to look for solutions to marital problems, family conflicts, and other personal and relationship crises. Denise Perry Donavin

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The problem here is that Weiner-Davis swings way -- way way over -- to the other side of the pendulum. She portrays virtually all personal problems, from addiction to failing marriages, as solvable by the individual. Some of her suggestions are just absurdly overdrawn -- like her mention of the depressed person who decided to go shopping and met someone at the mall who helped her out of her depression. Just change your patterns, Weiner-Davis, suggests, and the solution will appear as if by magic.
This book might be useful for those who can stand a little more personal control over their own lives. I have nothing against that goal. What does concern me, though, is that the overly simplistic, "quick fix" mentality which prevades throughout this book can raise false hopes for people who really do need help from sources outside themselves. In these cases, "Fire Your Shrink" may be setting up certain people for a very, very hard fall after tottering briefly at a precipice of false hope.
...and no, I am NOT a psychologist or therapist of any sort... just someone who likes to see more realistic suggestions!
Based on positive-seeking, solution-focused therapy, the author offers techniques and exercises to discover, ignite, and grow the positive potential in yourself and - by extension - others. Change yourself, and everyone who interacts with you will change too, as they react in new ways to your new choices and actions.
Most people are used to a habit of noticing what's wrong and complaining about it. To the author, this is the first step - noticing. But besides noticing what's wrong, you also need to start practicing noticing what's right, and then encourage and reward that - nurturing more desired behavior. (This is a lot like training animals - rewarding or praising good behavior). You can always delve into the "why's" later, but first, an improved daily interaction helps create a setting where why's can later be explored in a calmer way.
The author also has a website with a free message board, where you can safely vent or ask advice, away from your immediate situation. I highly recommend both this book and her message board.
Using this book and her techniques has empowered me to deal with very difficult people and situations, and made it easier for me to steer these situations into more positive and cheerful realities.
I like her ideas and have used a few of them myself successfully. However, the beginning of this audiocassette is WAY too long. It's basically a commercial for her method of helping people - which sounds great - but I didn't buy this book-on-tape to hear a commercial! I wanted her to get to the point and tell me how to do this stuff.
I suggest saving your money and not buying the audiocassette since you will have to listen again and again to the commercial. Having the book is better because you can flip thru to just the information you want/need at the time.
The book has a 'commercial' in the beginning too, but you don't have to read that part any more than just the first time. With an audiocassette, if you want to listen to the ideas again, you have to listen to the commercial again.
Books-on-tape are GREAT, but in this case, she takes too long to get to the point. The book with pages to flip thru is much better.
I was so annoyed that I was duped, that I can't really give this a good review. The re-publication of this was titled "Change Your Life and Everyone In It"

Christians, Yazidis Need More Than Escape: Catholic Relief Official in Iraq
Kris Ozar, 37, is in charge of programming for Catholic Relief Services in Egypt and is now in northern Iraq coordinating the charity's emergency efforts with other groups, such as Caritas Iraq. He has been working with Christians and Yazidis forced to choose between conversion to Islam or death by the Islamic State.
Ozar spoke with Religion News Service's Kimberly Winston from Irbil, Iraq, about the challenges refugees face. Some answers have been edited for length and clarity.
Q: The Christian and Yazidi refugees have been rescued from Mount Sinjar. What is the situation where you are right now?
A: From my window, I can see a church compound and it is filled with tents and there are hundreds of people inside those tents. Everyone talked about getting (the displaced people) off Mount Sinjar, and that was an amazing challenge, but what we forget is that the most amazing challenge lies ahead.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers wide receiver Ike Hilliard was driven off the field in the second quarter of Tampa Bay's game against Seattle on Sunday night after a hard collision with two Seahawks linebackers.
Hilliard was sitting up on the cart as it left the stadium, after being tended to for 5 minutes by medical personnel.
Hilliard was attempting to make a catch inside the Seattle 10, with Lofa Tatupu on his back and Leroy Hill delivering a hard shot from the front side. Hill's hit was so strong, Hilliard immediately crumpled to the turf and Tatupu suffered a concussion.
Tatupu's return was questionable. There was no immediate word on Hilliard's availability for the remainder of the game.
Seattle challenged the play, and after that review, officials determined Hilliard caught the ball and fumbled it, allowing the Seahawks to take over at their own 4 with 12:48 left in the half.

The way we record music today is drastically different than the way things were done 20 years ago. For bands to record demos, they once needed to invest in a 4-track or 8-track tape machine. And to record in a real studio? Usually bands needed to get signed before that happened. But not anymore. You'll find more than enough recording equipment options to choose from on today's market. In fact, top notch brands such as Presonus, Tascam, Akai, Focusrite and many others are all dedicated to providing immaculately crafted studio gear for both industry veterans and amateurs alike.
You're probably already aware of the basic things needed to make a recording studio. For example, you'll require software, interfaces, a mixer, microphones, and of course studio monitors headphones and headphone amplifiers (optional). These are all essential ingredients, and ensuring that the equipment you're using is manufactured by experienced professionals will also give you peace of knowing that your recording projects will turn out as crisp and pristine as you imagined.
For studio monitors, the JBL LSR305 5" powered studio monitors are extremely powerful. Ideal for both home and project studios, these monitors deliver a highly professional performance at a superbly affordable price. For a fantastic studio package, the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 MXL 990 package contains an audio interface, a pair of monitors and headphones, a condenser mic, and all the accessories and cables you'll need to set up. Another incredible option is the Tascam DP-32 Digital 32-Track Portastudio. Versatile, compact and easy-to-use, this unit is recommended for any home studio recording project.
With so many leaps and bounds made in digital technology, it has never been easier for budding audio engineers to make their very own recording studio. Today, anyone with an iPad or a iPhone can make radio ready recordings. We have a large selection of iPad and iPhone Microphones as well as iOS interfaces in our Apple for Musicians store.
Despite the leaps and bounds made in recording technology, there are still many factors to consider. From soundproofing the studio, to where the studio will be located, these are crucial thoughts to ponder in the process. Of course, you'll also need to be sure that the equipment you're using is not only high in sound quality, but ruggedly built to last through considerable amounts of usage, and for that, you can find everything you need and more, right here.

The Legal Studies Program of the Department of Political Science conducted its first Study Abroad Program in June 2016. The program offered graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to take a basic course in Legal Theory and Analysis that focused on judicial decision making; the course also compared legal institutions in the United States with comparable legal institutions in Ireland. Each student who participated in the program also developed an Independent Study course and pursued one or more topics of special interest to the student. The program took place in Dublin, Ireland from June 10 through June 30, 2016, and was housed at University College Dublin (UCD).
The Department of Political Science, in partnership with the Denton Navarro Rocha Bernal Hyde & Zech, P.C. (DNRBH&Z) law firm and The Office of Distance and Extended Learning hosted the annual Hog Wild Local Government Educational Seminar. This year's successful seminar took place over the course of two days (May 26th – 27th) and had over 175 attendees. Several of these attendees include local city managers, mayors, city attorneys and other public sector administrative officials. The seminar included a wide variety of subject areas and trends that are useful to public practitioners. Topics covered throughout this seminar included personnel matters, transparency in government information, economic development, land use regulation, law enforcement, and a wide variety of other interesting topics. Partners from DNRBH&Z were generous with their time and knowledge as they moderated all panels and break-out sessions. The Department of Political Science would like to extend our gratitude to Dean Hennessey for taking the time out of his busy schedule to provide opening remarks. We would also like to acknowledge our own Mr. David Smith, Esq. who also took time to provide some opening remarks on the behalf of Legal Studies and the department. We would also like to express our gratitude to Mr. David Cummings from The Office of Distance and Extended Learning for the major role that he played in organizing this event. Without saying, we are especially grateful to the partners and staff of the DNRBH&Z law firm for their valued support. We look forward to working with them again in organizing next year's seminar.

Judge Gaultney was hosted at a luncheon in the Dean's Conference Room with a group of two dozen students exploring the possibility of attending law school.
Dr. Al Brophy of the University of North Carolina participated in the most recent Discourse in Democracy event. He spoke on "Reading the Great Constitutional Dream Book" which traced the origins of the idea of equality in the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education to its roots among African American intellectuals. Those long-ignored people, like W.E.B. DuBois and many others now forgotten, argued for a doctrine of equal treatment and campaigned for it in the pages of African American newspapers, periodicals, books, and ultimately the courts. The lecture showed how humble people, at the margin of US society, changed culture, politics, and law.
He conducted two afternoon seminars for small groups of undergraduate and graduate students and that evening delivered a lecture on the topic in Alkek Teaching Theater. Attended by some 200 students, faculty and members of the community, it was another successful Discourse in Democracy event.

25 October 2012
The Natural Resources Trust Fund has played a major role in making Michigan a national leader in outdoor recreation, but the program also has provided millions of dollars for such less than natural things as parking lots, restrooms and playgrounds.
State records show the Trust Fund, over the past 36 years, has provided funding for 265 parking lot projects, 157 restrooms, 97 ball fields, 73 playgrounds and eight swimming pools. All of the parking lots were associated with a recreational facility.
According to state records, the most recent round of Trust Fund grants included:
State officials said all of those projects fit with the Trust Fund's mission, which is to "buy property and develop projects that have recreational or natural resources value to Michigan citizens."
"The Trust Fund has stayed true to its mission," said Bob Garner, who leads the fund's board of directors. "Originally the trust would only buy land for hunting and fishing … but our whole concept of the outdoors is changing as a society."
Erin McDonough, executive director of Michigan United Conservation Clubs, agreed that fishing and hunting aren't the only kinds of outdoor recreation that are deserving of Trust Fund grants.
"We have to be very careful not to judge — outdoor recreation means different things to different people," McDonough said. "Providing outdoor recreation for all people is part of the vision of the Trust Fund."
The Trust Fund has two distinct programs: One provides money to acquire land; the other funds development of recreational facilities. The development side of the Trust Fund is what funds bathrooms, parking lots, ball fields and myriad other outdoor recreation facilities.
Each year, at least 25 percent of the Trust Fund's grants go toward buying land. Not more than 25 percent of the fund's total expenditures may be used for development of public recreation facilities.
"You're buying toilets with development funds, as opposed to buying land," Garner said.
Jeff Cook, president of Greenville-based Southwestern Oil and head of the Michigan Oil and Gas Producers Education Foundation, said the Trust Fund has stayed true to its mission. Royalties on oil and gas extracted on state land provide the revenue for the Natural Resources Trust Fund.
"The Trust Fund's primary purpose was the protection of natural resources, but these secondary goals —public access to waterways and outdoor recreation in urban areas — were also at its core," Cook said. "While the fund is called the Natural Resources Trust Fund, the definition of natural resources is broad."
Steve DeBrabander, a Michigan Department of Natural Resources grants manager who oversees the Trust Fund, said a reduction in yearly Trust Fund grants could soon halt funding for some types of recreation projects.
The Trust Fund reached its funding cap of $500 million in 2011. From now on, the state can only give grants from the interest earned on the Trust Fund's principal. The $500 million nest egg is off-limits — unless voters amend the state Constitution.
Reaching the cap means the Trust Fund will reduce the amount of grants awarded annually from roughly $35 million to about $25 million, DeBrabander said. With less money for grants, he said the Trust Fund board would soon re-assess what types of recreation projects are worthy of funding.
"One thing that may happen is a more focused approach in the future, instead of all types of outdoor recreation being eligible for grants," DeBrabander said.
Jeff Alexander is owner of J. Alexander Communications LLC and the author of "Pandora's Locks: The Opening of the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaway." He's a former staff writer for the Muskegon Chronicle.

With a physical an Attack stat higher than that of Groudon, Zekrom, and Rayquaza, a respectable Speed tier, and a beefy base 150 HP stat combined with awesome coverage moves such as Earthquake, (remove comma) and Night Slash, it Slaking looks just like a top-tier Uber threat. That is, until you spot the ability Truant; unfortunately for Slaking, it is probably the single worst ability in the entire game, and unfortunately for Slaking, it recieved said ability. Because of Truant, Slaking becomes huge setup fodder for dangerous sweepers. It also guarentees that Slaking has no way of sweeping any team, even in late game late-game. With such a let-down letdown of an ability, Slaking is rather challenging to use. That said, it can and will KO at least one of your team members if it gets a free switch-in, and you don't have a counter up your sleeve.
 [SET] name: Choice Band move 1: Return move 2: Earthquake move 3: Night Slash move 4: Pursuit / Retaliate item: Choice Band nature: Jolly evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
Even though Slaking's ability lets it down quite a bit, it can still fill a role with its flagship hit and run strategy. This is because BW2 NU is a fast-paced metagame, so even though staying in more than a single turn is usually a terrible idea for Slaking, it can still effectively use that turn to deal out massive damage with a Choice Band-boosted hit, due to Truant, staying in for more than a single turn is usually a terrible idea. A Choice Band set is therefore the best option in a fast-paced metagame like BW2 NU, as said item allows Slaking to perform it's hit and run strategy to optimized effect. Thanks to its powerful STAB move alongside its coverage moves, there are not many Pokemon in the NU tier that appreciate taking a hit from a Choice Banded Slaking, and with Pursuit, it can even outspeed and checkmate Jynx and Haunter.

Return is, more often than not, the STAB move of choice, as it has a stellar Base Power combined with no drawbacks at all. Earthquake is the main coverage move, as it hits Rock- and Steel-types (add comma) that which resist Return, for super effective damage. Night Slash rounds off the simple, yet efficient coverage. Without Night Slash, Ghost types Ghost-types such as Misdreavus, Haunter, and Golurk would easily be able to switch into Slaking safely. When it comes to choosing a move for the last spot, Pursuit is by far the preferred option, even though Retaliate may might be more effective for Slaking's hit and run strategy. Pursuit will swiftly take out fleeing Psychic- and Ghost-types, most notably Jynx, which is outsped. Retaliate is great for revenge killing, as very few Pokemon will can switch into a boosted Retaliate and survive.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Using a Jolly nature is important to outpace common NU Pokemon such as Jynx, Kangaskhan, and Primeape. An alternative to Choice Band would be Choice Scarf, as it can deal with Choice Scarf variants of said Pokemon, as well as outpacing faster Pokemon such as Scolipede and Serperior.

Considering how easy it is to set up on an immoblized immobilized Slaking, it is important to carry counters to common NU setup sweepers of NU, as otherwise they could just sweep you. Choice Scarf Jynx and Rotom-S are great teammates for Slaking, as they can deal with Carracosta, Scolipede, and Gorebyss even after said Pokemon have used their setup moves. Encore (this seemed redundant since you mention Prankster Encore later in the sentence) Liepard is another example solid choice, as it can switch in on the predicted Substitute or stat-boosting move, (remove comma) and force the opponent to switch with its Prankster Encore. Musharna and Misdreavus have good defensive synergy with Slaking, and they can switch into threatening Fighting-type moves that threaten Slaking it. Offensive or Defensive Pivots and defensive pivots such as Eelektross and Musharna are great to build up momentum, (remove comma) and potentially give Slaking a free switch-in to dish out huge amounts of damage.
 [Other Options]
Slaking really does not have many other notably great items or moves. It has three alternative STAB options; Double-Edge, Body Slam, and Giga Impact. Double-Edge is very similar to Return, (remove comma) but has higher Base Power, and since because Slaking has such a huge HP stat, the recoil will not be doing all that much to it. If However if you run Double-Edge, be sure you will have to run Shadow Claw over Night Slash, as Double-Edge and Night Slash are illegal on any same set. Body Slam is nice for extra utility alongside Pursuit, as the 30% paralysis chance could win you the game. Unfortunately, it could also lose you a game if it fails to KO a Pokemon, (remove comma) that Return or Double-Edge would. When it comes to Giga Impact, it is generally a bad idea, as you could end up getting swept any second. It may Giga Impact might seem to fit perfectly with it's Slaking's ability and item, but Giga Impact it forces you Slaking to stay in after attacking, making it an extremely riskful risky option, and should therefore almost never be used.

For coverage moves, Sucker Punch is a neat option, but it is also a risky move one, especially when playing around potential Substitutes or setup moves, as Slaking will become it makes Slaking even easier to set up on. Other than that, Slaking has many coverage moves that it really does not need; Fire Punch, Low Kick, and Ice Punch are all options, but Slaking's main coverage moves will usually do the job much better. A few special attacks, most notably Thunderbolt and Fire Blast, will help Slaking break through the tough physical walls; most notably, Thunderbolt and Fire Blast help it get past Alomomola and Tangela respective to said moves. Encore could be an option to deal with slower setup sweepers, such as Swords Dance Pinsir. When it comes to different sets, the only real other set one that might work would be a Bulk Up + Slack Off set, but due to Slaking's horrible Special Defense stat and an ability, (remove comma) which that makes it hard to stay in even 2 two turns, it is almost impossible to pull off successfully.
 [Checks and Counters]
The single best way to deal with Slaking is Protect. If you have a Pokemon with Protect against a Slaking, it is impossible for it to hit you at all. Therefore, Guts Pokemon such as Swellow and Ursaring will can freely take advantage of Slaking's presence to activate their status orbs, while Slaking does nothing. But, there are many other ways to deal with Slaking. In addition to this, Tangela and Alomomola are ridiculously bulky on the physical side, (remove comma) and can easily avoid the OHKO from any of Slaking's moves. They can then put it to sleep or stall it respectively. Rock- and Steel-types such as Golem and Metang can easily take any STAB move, (remove comma) but should be afraid of Earthquake. Misdreavus is immune to Slaking's STAB moves and Earthquake, but Night Slash threatens it.

A different way of playing effectively around a Slaking is simply sacrificing an expendable Pokemon. After doing so, you recieve receive a completely free turn, (remove comma) and that you can use it to your advantage extremely easily to set up for a sweep or place Stealth Rock. Beware of partners that Slaking has Be aware of Slaking's partners though, as the Slaking it user should, and will often (add comma) be prepared for dangerous setup sweepers.

I have an existing MVC site, built some years back, and I am now removing all my custom grid code with Telerik's MVC Grid.
I wish to utilise the ServerSide editing but the examples show the SourceCodeFile scaffolding on a single control actionresult reference by a single MVC grid in a single view.
My issue is that I have mulitple MVC grids called by renderpartial in a single view with a single controller actionresult. I cannot have multiple scaffolding on the single actionresult.
I therefore need some assistance on thinking this through as I only visit this project once in a while and I am not constantly building in MVC so do not totally know all my options.

I know its been asked/answered before, but everything I look at is from back in July, or otherwise out of date.
Should I bother making my app compatible with iOS 3.x (probably 3.1.2 and up)? Means extra testing some coding changes, etc, etc.
Or are enough users on iOS 4.x that I don't need to worry about it.
If there are any sites that keep up to date (daily, weekly, even monthly) stats, please post.

Autumn's Profile
I have been creating things with my hands for all my life, it seems. I've tried almost everything - crosstitch, knitting, crocheting, stained glass, painting, wood crafts, sewing, etc etc.
I love the process of taking some thing raw and creating a thing of beauty from it.
I specialize in customized letters. I've had a lot of fun creating letters to match baby bedding, for example. It's a challenge and forces me to think outside the box.
I'd like to thank my family and friends for graciously accepting my handmade gifts over the years (even though some turned out awful! :} )
Thank you for checking out my shop! :)

I have been known to occasionally comment on either the cleverness or absurdity of scientific acronyms, and DECIPHER is another one to throw into the "absurd" pile. DECIPHER, or should I say, DatabasE of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources (what a mouthful, eh?), is a great database, even if the name is a bit over-the-top. (I honestly don't know when it became the standard to try to completely describe your resource with an incredibly long acronym.) The database maps clinical data of chromosomal microdeletions, duplications, insertions, translocations, and inversions to the human genome map to allow scientists and clinicians to better understand the effects of such chromosomal abnormalities on human health. In addition to the database, there is also a map of all of the members of the DECIPHER consortium around the world, as well as a "syndrome of the month" feature.

Dirty Heads Extend Fall & Winter Tour Dates
Change -- and the Sound of Change -- has been good for Dirty Heads.
The genre-blending California group's fifth album logged its first-ever No. 1 release, on the Top Alternative Albums chart in July, as well as career-high No. 2 and No. 8 slots on the Top Rock Albums and Billboard 200 respectively. And the group's Dustin "Duddy B" Bushnell tells Billboard that fans seem to be embracing the sonic changes implied by the album's title.
Dirty Heads Perform 'Lay Me Down' Live
"We definitely knew we were going to get a little bit of hate from it, and we knew our fans would be taken back a little by it," Duddy B says. "It's funny because right after the first song ('My Sweet Summer') leaked out there were all these people freaking out, and now that the album's out I think it's growing on people and they're like, 'Oh, I changed my mind after a couple of listens. I actually love this' and even more people saying, 'Ohmigod, after I actually listen to this album it's not that far off from what they normally did.' We just keep our heads down and keep pushing, and we make music that we enjoy and put out only things that we respect and we're proud of."
Duddy B acknowledges that Dirty Heads' intent on Sound of Change was an album that's "bigger and broader" than its three predecessors -- and was a bit of a reaction to 2013's acoustic "Home -- Phantoms of Summer." He and partner Jared "Dirty J" Watson worked with a number of producers -- including Grammy Award-winner Supa Dups, Budda Shampoo, Niles of the Cataracs and good pal Rome Ramirez (of Sublime With Rome) -- to expand the Dirty Heads sound and explore some fresh directions. "It was very cool," says Duddy B. "Once we kind of realized the direction we wanted to go on this album, we were like, 'Y'know what? Let's just go for it completely. If we're trying to step our game up musically and try new things, let's also go to some new studios. Let's work wtih some new producers. Let's sit down wtih other writers and try things we've never done. Let's step out of our comfort zone and try to push ourselves. Let's try to grow as a band and see what we can do, and if that doesn't work we can always go back to that old stuff, 'cause we can do that all day.' So we went for it and we tried something new, and I think we made something pretty cool."
Dirty Heads, 'Home | Phantoms of Summer: The Acoustic Sessions'
Dirty Heads have been celebrating Sound of Change all summer, and the group plans to do so into the fall. After taking September off for Dirty J's wedding, the group will hit the road again on Oct. 10 in Ventura, Calif. for another North American swing with Rome opening, then head to Europe in mid-November for dates in the U.K., France, Switzerland and Germany. Dirty Heads will again be promoting the Hard Rock International and WhyHunger Imagine There's No Hunger campaign, auctioning off tour packages that include meet-and-greets and other perks.
"Fighting hunger's a great cause," says Duddy B. "There's, like, one out of five families in out country suffering from hunger, and not just our country, either. This is a cool program where it not only puts food in these people's mouths but it teaches them how to grow sustainable goods for themselves and feed themselves -- and not just (with) food but healthy food. It's just a really good cause, so we're spreading the word as we're on the road."
