I recently stayed at this Holiday Inn for my wife's birthday. We stayed two nights in the middle of July. First of all, it's a Holiday Inn, so the room was exactly as I pictured it, if not a little bigger. If you like Holiday Inn's, you will enjoy this one too.
To get a few things out that we didn't try. We did not use the pool, but it looked nice. The workout room also looked updated. The restaurant bar was busy each night.
The sitting areas outside were a nice touch. There is an area out front with a fire pit, but it was a tad busy each night. We ended up finding a patio type area in the back that was very quiet.
We had one small problem with our TV remote, that was fixed almost immediately by maintenance. The front desk staff was very nice, and very helpful each time I interacted with them.
Ok, now the best part: The Location! Depending on why you might be going to Saratoga Springs, walking might be a big part of your trip. Everything we wanted on the main strip was a ten minute walk away. Really a great location, PLUS there is a fantastic stone staircase behind the Holiday Inn. It lead to Congress Park, which my wife and I spent hours in. We watched ducklings run around, a free show of Macbeth, checked out the local springs, and the many statues. As a small bonus, there is a Stewart's Shop across the street from the hotel, where we stocked up on water and a few snacks.
We're already planning on going back, and staying at The Holiday Inn in Saratoga is the #1 priority.

Breeders' Cup Classic – Powered by Dodge (gr. I) contender Ten Most Wanted worked seven furlongs in a bullet 1:26 over the main track at his home base of Hollywood Park Sunday. Regular exercise rider Bruno Delgadillo, who was aboard the son of Deputy Commander, signaled his approval to trainer Wally Dollase with a "thumbs up" sign after the colt was clocked galloping out the mile in 1:39 4/5.
"It was a good work," Dollase said. "We wanted him to go in 1:25 and change and he went in 1:26 flat, so that's just right. He was going very slow in the first part of the work and then picked it up a bit. And he didn't turn a hair or wasn't in any distress whatsoever. Next he'll work five-eighths in about a week and ship over to Santa Anita three days out or so."
Ten Most Wanted is riding a two-race win streak heading into the Breeders Cup, having won the Travers Stakes (gr. I) and Super Derby (gr. II) most recently. He is expected to be one of the public's top betting choices when he breaks from the gate in the 1 ¼-mile Classic. Pat Day has accepted the riding assignment on the Reddam, Chisholm and Jarvis et al colorbearer.
"We're in regular communication," Dollase said of Ten Most Wanted's Hall of Fame rider. "I spoke with Pat's agent, Doc Danner, yesterday and I imagine I'll be speaking to Pat here before long. He pays very close attention to what the horse is doing."
Ten Most Wanted, who was bred in Kentucky by Jim H. Plemmons, has banked $1,553,460 with a career record of 10-4-3-1.

Front page material. Excellent style to boot.
This and the first one has a certain feel that makes you gripped to watch it. Maybe it's the sudden introduction of interesting and fresh ideas. Maybe it's the style of the whole thing. Or maybe because the battles are good. Whichever doesn't matter. This is on the verge of greatness.
Cool, thanks for the review. Glad you liked it and hope you like the future episodes.
well sir gary you have started a great story
i love it , why ? because the way that the story has opened.... you could do anything with it . it is truly unpredictable , it is amazing
Yeah, I think it leaves it open for a number of directions. Hopefully I take the right ones. :P
This is amazing. After seeing 1 and 2, I am wowed. Good job. I can't wait to see the rest.
You should try and do the voices yourself. Sounds badass. :P
I thought about that, but I'm no actor. I don't know why people like voices so much because they usually stink. But if someone can find some good people I'd consider it. The main problem was finding someone with a deep voice to play the main character.
Good work
I have a question pertaining to the word: Khef.
I may be wrong here, but is that not a word used soley in the Dark Tower series, by Stephen King? Or is it actually a word used in some practice
No idea on whether or not it's real. I did get it from the word from the DT series, though. When I was trying to think of a word to use, I immediately remembered Khef, which was used like once and then seemingly forgotten (haven't read book 7 yet) in the series.
Good flash guy keep them coming
I protect and give 10 to all who use The Mars Volta in their flash .... its good to see them get some exposure. keep it up
Yeah, I had to work em in there somehow. :)

Released: Jan 01st, 2007
Running Time: 98
Company: Heatwave Entertainment
Cast: Hyphy, Deep Threat, Keisha (I), Mr Rock, Tajha, Dwayne Cumminz
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
The latest installment in the South Central Hookers series finds yet another crop of honeys for hire on the streets of the city. Business must be pretty good, too, because it doesn't look like any of the ladies has missed a meal recently. When these girls hang around the street corner, they really hang around the street corner!
Kidding aside, the girls give decent performances, especially Chyna-T, who delivers a fairly comprehensive blowjob to the liberally tattooed Deep Threat. Dwayne Cumminz does double duty in this title, working overtime in scenes with both Hyphy and Tajha.
Not naming names, but one of the performers had a slightly lazy eye, which made it seem like she was always watching the camera, albeit unintentionally.
The ad libs are funny as well, especially when Dwayne tells Hyphy not to mind the camera because they're shooting a class project and he wants to get a good grade and make something of himself.
Retailing: This should do well with fans of natural curves and big, black asses.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
This collection of shapely and appealing women will appeal to teasing female solo scenes.
The theme is solo, and this trio of women each offer something special to add to the stew. Penny Flame, busty and brunette, does her thing in slow, teasing mode. Monica Mendez, of similar appearance, adds a touch of lotion to her motion. The last babe is Laurie Wallace, and this perky blonde gets quite explicit and, pardon the pun, loose-lipped when she gets nastier than the others and plays stinky finger on herself.

Not clean and noisy
Great location
Great view!
We were pleasantly surprised to find the hotel in an amazingly central location. It was walking distance to all the tourist destinations, and we found many stores and restaurants nearby. We were pleased by the location, but the hotel itself was a little out-dated. The rooms were comfy and we were allowed an early check-in, but we found our room to have a strange odor and the view from our window was a rooftop with empty bottles of beer and liquor (which made us a little uneasy, since said rooftop was connected to our building). All in all, I would definitely stay here again for the location and price are unbeatable.
Great location, very easy to get to by foot from the train station & right in the historic center. I appreciated having the mini-kitchen; it did take me a few minutes to figure out the stove. Very clean room, with a nice view of the lighted church of Notre Dame. Friendly staff.

G'day MatiDev,
If your're using raw PHP to process something like this, I don't think you can get that information from the $_GET information. This is because that isn't a traditional GET parameter.
You can do it by parsing the information in $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] however. Something like this should do the trick:
That is pretty raw however and has no error checking or whatnot.
See what you think.
These are $_GET[] variables. Typically passed via forms. If you have something like and someone types into that text box "Hello", you'll get ?myInput=Hello in the URL. This input can be accessed via $_GET['myInput'], and that variable's value is Hello.
If you still don't understand how $_GET works, you can try typing in print_r($_GET); and that'll output the variable array.
Now, if you don't know what's in the URL for some reason, you could try getting the array keys. Use array_keys($_GET); and that'll return an array with all the keys passed for the array $_GET.

Skin problems
Posted by Reviewer2823339 on Mar 14, 2014
Got for Mum to use on her contact dermatitis, as the ointment from the doctor just made her skin thin & prone to break & bleed. Worked really well to help heal her skin along with pure shea butter. Used on my skin for cuts & rashes, work great. Really good ingredients too, compared to other cream & ointments on Iherb, which can be full of nasty ingredients.
worked for ringworm when nothing else did
Posted by Reviewer1158744 on May 12, 2011
I had a patch of ringworm on my leg that was smaller than a dime. For 5 months I treated it daily with every natural thing I could come up with, even things that I have seen help ringworm in the past. I even tried OTC medication. Everything helped for a day or two, then it was worse. When I got this ointment the spot was the size of a silver dollar. It was better in a few days. Praise the Lord!
Great stuff!
Posted by Doglover on Aug 26, 2012
I will not go without this little tube of ointment in my medicine cabinet. Works better and faster then triple antibiotic ointment. Safe on pets too. If you have a cut or scrape and apply this you will notice healing the very next day!
Great alternative to petroleum based ointments!
Posted by Reviewer1283504 on May 23, 2009
Love this ointment! I use this in place of triple antibiotic ointment and find it works just as well, if not better, without the harmful and environmentally unfriendly petrol ingredients.
Wonder Working GSE !!!!!
Posted by Reviewer2378165 on Jul 20, 2009
I have used this for many skin issues, but none as dramatic as when I "break out " because of nickel in jewelry. This salve - with one application - takes care of the rash and itching. Not cortisone cream or any other topical ointment will help that rash as effectively as this ointment. I have fought this condition most of my life. Hallelujah- this is a keeper
wow , wonder!
Posted by Reviewer3205421 on Jan 27, 2010
i put this cream on a small cut and right away noticed improvment the next day it almost gon..... yes i higly recomand it!
too greasy
Posted by KentuckyWildcat on Jul 30, 2012
I have used Nutribiotic GSE liquid for over 10 years, so had high hopes for this skin ointment. However, I am having trouble getting past the greasy feel of this. The base contains olive oil, beeswax, and castor oil so it just sits on top of your skin instead of being absorbed.
Made my skin itchy and dry
Posted by Reviewer1126659 on Apr 20, 2011
This product left my upper lip really dry after I applied it. It also gave me a rash.
fabulous product
Posted by annegoggans on Jan 08, 2011
This ointment delivered a better result than I had expected. Swelling and soreness is also diminished on small wounds with a dab of this ointment, a bandage, and a nights sleep.
almost miraculous
Posted by Reviewer1105411 on Sep 20, 2010
amazing stuff - put it on any fresh cut or burn, pain stops immediately and next day, healing is unbelievable. Wish it came in a larger size.

La. House considers hand-held cell ban for motorists
BATON ROUGE Louisiana House members are set to debate a proposed ban on the use of hand-held cell phones by motorists.
Rep. Austin Badon, a New Orleans Democrat, is sponsor of the bill that would make it illegal to talk on a hand-held phone while driving. The measure would have no effect on the use of handsfree devices.
The Senate killed a similar bill last year.

I can make such ridiculous claim because for the past month or so nearly every thread has been about Iris and her Dragonite.
I just wish things would go back to the way they were. Is that so bad?
Wow ... there's a lot of controversy here from such a lite convo O.o
Will try to make this fast ...
Spoiler:- Stuff bout Iris Directed at G-A:
Shoddy writing? Blinded by love? Dude/ Lady, by MY standards EVERYONE in this show is poorly written most of the time. From Ash to Dent to Bell (the only character I truly dislike and can't think of one reason for people to like ... but that's just me so w/e). The only one I see as "well written" in the series by standards that go a tiny bit beyond "Pokemon Standards" is ... Stephan. (He's not annoying, he is shown training hard with his Pokemon, he has a clear persona and aim in life. His morals haven't changed and he doesn't rely on DEM wins)The point is giving Iris a fully evovled Pokemon, with a great moveset that she had no input of her own is shoddy writing,. You're blinded by your love for Iris, so you can't see otherwise. She's not a well written character. Take off those rose-tinted glasses please.
BUT, by Pokemon standards? Nope, I don't think Iris is getting Dragonite or having it learn to obey is bad writing based on what we know. Hell, seems to me that she may very well seek out advice from Cynthia on rectifying this problem, which might be even more BW2 promotion/ connection.
No, YOU may not be able to say that but I can clearly see a win for Excadrill in those battles. No huge type disadvantage, only attack either of them have that's strong to it IIRC is Focus Blast (A move I think would be a hard-to-land attack on a Pokemon like Excadrill). Makes sense to me.We can't say Excadrill could have beaten Beartic, or Mamoswine for sure. So, yes...Dragonite is still ******** too, if you're so adamant to call foul on Krokorok.
And I'm not "calling out" Krokorok ... I'm just saying that it's a DEM asspull win. You know what else is a Dem asspull Win? Axew going into outrage mode and winning that match ... and any big match that's won as a result of a Pokemon learning a move or evolving in the middle of the battle when they couldn't have otherwise won. Sadly, Ash has a ton of those ... but w/e, I guess we can over look that in favor of flipping out on everything someone not Ash does.
I love how you're not only ignoring her past battles but also the last one to air ... wonderful!If she suppose to be some kind of prodigy, I'd like to see her do more than "attack, attack, attack, attack", which really seems to be all she does when in battle.
No, not really. This anime is a product of the games and is used to promote them. Perfectly reasonable for them to want to portray characters in the games in a manner that encourages people to look into said games as well as watch the anime.Getting a Dragonite at the last minute to "promote" her Champion status is pretty poor reasoning too.
You want to keep this up then I will gladly go along with it. If there's a problem with us talking here then maybe we should move to another thread.
To me, Excadrill could have beat Beartic and Mamoswine just as easily as Dragonite could. People hype Dragonite up as if it's this godly pokemon. All it has going for it is it's Deux Ex Machina bulkiness (Tanking Ice Beam which Dragonite is 4x weak to? Really?) and a diverse movepool.
Though Dragonite DOES make Togekiss look good in terms of how it was done. The only problem I have with Iris is that all of the pokemon she gets were disobedient. Emolga was lazy(?), Excadrill was very depressed and Dragonite doesn't listen to Iris' commands. I guarantee that if Iris gets a fifth pokemon, it will be disobedient. If the writers are going to give her pokemon, be somewhat original with how you make them instead of having 3 pokemon which were disobedient at some point.
firstly i would say that excadrill & Beartic are about as strong as eachother.But i think it must be remebered that excadrill dosn't have that great of a battle record it lost to beartic and then after some training managed to draw with it,Just about managed to beat dewott(owned by burgundy who isn't the best trainer.) and pikachu(who had a major type disadvantage and no really effective moves to use against excadrill). Beartic dosn't have a perfect record either in addition to drawing with a excadrill that hadn't trained for two years it was was very nearly beaten by a joltik.So simply put dragonite beating beartic meerly demosnstrates it is resonably strong and thats especially true if it got a critical hit which was why it vs beartic was a one hit ko.Dragonites next two battles will show it's not as overpowered as the hype.
However i have noticed your point about iris so far only axew hasn't disobeyed her although it is true,1 hing to consider they each have disobeyed for different reasons so far(excadrill-dented pride, emolga-laziness and dragonite-dosn't feel it need to).So hopefully if she catches something else it won't be disobediant because there won't be a reason for it to be.Hopefully.
You can't compare Krokorok and Axew. Krokorok has been shown as a competent wild Pokemon since it's intro way back in BW003. It was shown to battle Pikachu a few times, battled a couple of Gym Leaders, participated in a Tag battle, etc. Evolution is the next step to it's development given it's shown past screen-time. The event is appropriate (Pokémon train, and get stronger to evolve), and builds on elements introduced previously. It makes sense with Krokorok's character. This evolution is not being used to compensate for a lack of development like Iris getting Dragonite, or Axew learning Outrage out of the blue while not being shown to be able to handle any trainer Pokemon before hand.And I'm not "calling out" Krokorok ... I'm just saying that it's a DEM asspull win. You know what else is a Dem asspull Win? Axew going into outrage mode and winning that match ... and any big match that's won as a result of a Pokemon learning a move or evolving in the middle of the battle when they couldn't have otherwise won.
Vs Random Trainer with Druddigon: derp Attack, attack, attack.
Vs Drayden: Derp Attack, attack attack, attack.
Vs Georgia: Derp attack, attack, attack, attack
Vs Stephan: *gasp stragety*
Vs Ash: Here, Ash actually used strategy, using spins to increase power of Iron Tail. What did Iris do the entire match? Lol, attack, attack, attack, attack.
Vs Burgundy: Again, here Burgundy used strategy. Shooting water down the hole so Excadrill couldn't dig(and no, dig-a-hole is not a strategy). Also using the move Revenge as a strategy. Once again what did Iris do the entire match? Attack, attack, attack, attack.
Vs Masaomi: Attack, attack, attack, attack.
So, yes I pay attention to her battles just fine. There's no real depth, or strategy in the way she battles.

She wants to be a Dragon Master ... which means she has to train and learn how to connect with different dragon types, right?
But there's a problem with giving her another Dragon Type, she has to raise Axew and the people behind the show have clearly said that there's problems with having him evolve so we shouldn't expect that to happen anytime soon.
Whats the problem? Well, if she gets a baby dragon like Dratini that's somehow better at battling than Axew is then that kinda really makes him look bad and takes his thunder. If she has a dragon that evolves before Axew that also makes him look bad seeing as he wants to evolve but because of how hard it would be to animate Fraxure outside the ball that likely wont happen until the tail end of the series. They also want to promote the games where Iris is the champ and prodigy which is clear in how they handle her a lot of the time. So it's understandable that they would want to give her a strong, fully evolved Dragon that was marketable and would present her with different problems and wouldn't steal thunder from her baby.
So no, I don't think they did it souly to make her look super strong. I think it was done to give her a different angle to work on with a different dragon type that wouldn't get in the way of her raising Axew.
If it evolves as a means to beat an other-wise unbeatable enemy in it's "dire hour" and succeeds then it's DEM. Plan and simple. It's just as DEM as a Pokemon learning a beastly move in the middle of battle that turns the tables in it's favor. This cartoon is RUN on DEM battles, like a ton of anime and Manga are. Here's an example of it evolving and winning without it being DEM ...You can't compare Krokorok and Axew. Krokorok has been shown as a competent wild Pokemon since it's intro way back in BW003. It was shown to battle Pikachu a few times, battled a couple of Gym Leaders, participated in a Tag battle, etc. Evolution is the next step to it's development given it's shown past screen-time. The event is appropriate (Pokémon train, and get stronger to evolve), and builds on elements introduced previously. It makes sense with Krokorok's character. This evolution is not being used to compensate for a lack of development like Iris getting Dragonite, or Axew learning Outrage out of the blue while not being shown to be able to handle any trainer Pokemon before hand.
It's training with Ash before the battle, evolves (Or it battles in the round before that one and evolves after it wins that match), goes into the battle fully evolved and beats Dragonite.
I'm just saying it's a DEM asspull win. Many people who don't even like Iris or Dragonite have called it such ... and that's just the nature of this show. Heck, I see tons of fans who arnt happy that Ash relies so much on DEM-evolutions in BW.
Spoiler:- attack attack attack:
Okay let's look at her major on-screen battles then shall we?
Vs Random Trainer with Druddigon: derp Attack, attack, attack....No. She correctly analyzed and evaluated Druddigon's strength after watching Tepig tackle it. She tells them to block Flamecharge ... which neither Druddigon or Emy known it could do. It was successful and damage was avoided. It was then their turn to attack and Druddigon allowed Tepig's puny embers to throw it off but Iris told them to press through it because she knew his dragon claw wouldn't have a problem getting through ember. Was she supposed to make this great big ol strong Druddigon dance around Tepig? Her game plan was basically "Block then attack with a close-up attack. Wait, they're trying to stop us from getting close with a weak attack like that? Deflect those attacks and close the gap so that you can finish this".
Vs Drayden: Derp Attack, attack attack, attack. There wasn't very much she could have done in that one, Excadrill was too outmatched. She even makes it a point to say that had they had an option for a ranged move they would have been able to come up with some more options in how to do things in that one. And that's proven later.
Vs Georgia: Derp attack, attack, attack, attack Hmm? Not only does she use Dig to dodge attacks, she used attacks to deflect attacks and even free Excadrill from being frozen.
Vs Stephan: *gasp stragety* Good that you could see that over all this BS I'm reading ...
Vs Ash: Here, Ash actually used strategy, using spins to increase power of Iron Tail. What did Iris do the entire match? Lol, attack, attack, attack, attack.
Vs Burgundy: Again, here Burgundy used strategy. Shooting water down the hole so Excadrill couldn't dig(and no, dig-a-hole is not a strategy). Also using the move Revenge as a strategy. Once again what did Iris do the entire match? Attack, attack, attack, attack. For both this and the Ash battle I think you're mistaking combos with just "attack attack attack". In the Ash battle Pikachu was clearly the defensive one and everyone could see it. The only thing Iris had to work around was Iron tail ... which she tied to do with Focus blast but that was being blocked by e-b. In the Burgundy fight she knew she was at a disadvantage and had to string together combos because she didn't have any effective moves to rely on. In that fight she has some very effective combos.
Vs Masaomi: Attack, attack, attack, attack. What? She went for a Drill attack and that got shockingly countered. She then tries to go for the old "Dig to protect yourself from damage and do a sneak attack" move but that's stopped and Excadrill is comboed out.
So, yes I pay attention to her battles just fine. There's no real depth, or strategy in the way she battles. Or maybe you're bias?
Giving someone a fully evolved Pokemon in their said goal is a short-cut, to avoid them having to show them raise strong Pokemon on their own. Given how sparse Iris development already is, it's safe to say that this was only done because she's near the end of her run and didn't have a single fully evolved Pokemon of her desired type. It's even further emphasized by the fact the issue with Dragonite is solved very quickly, to avoid the "hassle" of what could have been a somewhat decent story-line for Iris.Whats the problem?
No, mid battle evolution's aren't automatically bad writing. When you have a mid-battle evolution that is backed by a good story, character, and believable development then it's not DEM. It's not out of the blue, given we actually have seen Krokorok enough times to justify it's evolution. By comparison Roggenrola had no battle-screen time, had no established character, and nothing to justify it's evolution.It's training with Ash before the battle, evolves (Or it battles in the round before that one and evolves after it wins that match), goes into the battle fully evolved and beats Dragonite.
I'm just saying it's a DEM asspull win. Many people who don't even like Iris or Dragonite have called it such ... and that's just the nature of this show. Heck, I see tons of fans who arnt happy that Ash relies so much on DEM-evolutions in BW.
Deus ex Machina is a previously unintroduced element in a story that solves a seemingly unsolvable problem in a contrived way. We've know about Sandile/Krokorok for a while now. Unlike Roggenrola there is logical progression with Krokorok. He appears as a decently strong wild Pokemon, battles Pikachu a few times, evolves, has a Tag Battle with Pikachu, is caught, get's beaten in a gym battle, trains, wins a gym battle, pushed against the wall/struggles, and evolves to get a win. Again, the evolution here is the result of development and not used to circumvent it like Roggenrola's evolution. Krokorok's evolution is not the result of luck, it is based on what we've previously seen from Krokorok's development. And sorry, but I've only see you be the one to call this a "DEM asspull" win. Alot more people had a problem with Dragonite than they do with Ash's Krokorok evolving.
You clearly can't see that her entire battle style largely revolves around just completely overpowering her opponent, through constant attacks. She's clearly not as creative as Ash, or even Cilan (when not using Crustle) when it comes to battling. It has nothing to do with bias. You don't see her taking advantage of the battlefield, pulling out combinations, etc. against the majority of the trainers she's faced this saga. Iris just isn't very creative. Plain and simple.*snip*

I never said DEM was "Bad writing" for a series like Pokemon. I mean, it's generally seen as bad writing but Pokemon isn't a series one links to "good/ decent writing" to begin with. It's a device that's used for dramatic effect, to make a dynamic shift in a battle and entertain the viewers. Given the nature of the demographic (kids and preteens) and genre (anime action adventure) "good writing" by normal standards shouldn't be expected. That's why this show has non-sense like "Thunder Armor/ AIM FOR THE HORN/ Finish this with False Swipe/ Now, SPIN TO DODGE!/ Counter shield!". It's like Bleach or Naruto ... it loves making it's battles more dynamic through dramatic DEM.No, mid battle evolution's aren't automatically bad writing.
Someone used Google!When you have a mid-battle evolution that is backed by a good story, character, and believable development then it's not DEM. It's not out of the blue, given we actually have seen Krokorok enough times to justify it's evolution. By comparison Roggenrola had no battle-screen time, had no established character, and nothing to justify it's evolution.
Deus ex Machina is a previously unintroduced element in a story that solves a seemingly unsolvable problem in a contrived way. We've know about Sandile/Krokorok for a while now. Unlike Roggenrola there is logical progression with Krokorok.
But someone forgot to look a lil harder. There's more than one type of DEM. There's 4 with shades between them. Batman can have all the build up in the world of being super smart ... still gonna be DEM when he pulls out just the right gadget from his belt in his dire hour. Ichigo can be shown training an in the hyperbolic time chamber with his dad ... still gonna be DEM when he beats Aizen with the "Final Getsuga". If a character's being beaten in a "no win" situation and suddenly gains some new power or strength that allows them to turn the tables it's DEM. Some unknown, unforeseen force has been introduced to save that character. "Bu bu but!" No, it's pretty simple. If Ash wins that battle because of that evol and not because of some awesome logical game-plan it's DEM.
Too bad, I could look those post up for you but I don't have the energy to look for post from a week or 2 ago just for you to ignore :PAnd sorry, but I've only see you be the one to call this a "DEM asspull" win. Alot more people had a problem with Dragonite than they do with Ash's Krokorok evolving.
You're judging her based on how she uses Excadrill in these battles which you look at in a bias manner. Lets look pass how she uses attacks to deflect and counter other attacks. Lets forget the context of the battles and the decisions made in them. Let's forget that she battles with different Pokemon in different ways (Diva for example. She had to use her differently then she uses Axew or Excadrill ... which shows how she uses her Pokemon's strengths in battle).You clearly can't see that her entire battle style largely revolves around just completely overpowering her opponent, through constant attacks. She's clearly not as creative as Ash, or even Cilan (when not using Crustle) when it comes to battling. It has nothing to do with bias. You don't see her taking advantage of the battlefield, pulling out combinations, etc. against the majority of the trainers she's faced this saga. Iris just isn't very creative. Plain and simple.
so wha do you think is ash vs trip going to start in this episode or the next one?
- Claimed:
-XY, already better than Best Wishes.xD
Pokemon Y Team:
What! What do you mean Sally Nobody can pick locks and escape the prison with a bobby pin. WTF! We're in the 12th episode and we didn't learn about this sooner. DEM! DEM! Even though nothing in the previous eleven episodes contradict her being able to pick locks.
Look I'll agree to an extent that I don't like how Ash is going to beat Iris. Mamoswine seemed like it was pretty even with Dragonite. And yet Krokorok isn't being given the same courtesy and is evolving and somehow seemingly OHKO's Dragonite, I mean sure maybe the Manga Adaptation is wrong, I really hope it is.
But Krokorok's evolution itself isn't DEM since it makes sense enough. And evolution when you're pushed to your limits is definitely not an unknown, unforeseeable force.
I mean after all how many countless times do we see this happening. There's clearly a precedence.
If Sally Nobody was able to pick a lock in the first episode of the first season. You're not going to call it DEM when she picks a lock in the season finale and manages to save everyone. It's been introduced to her character that she can pick locks.
Likewise "pushed to your limits and evolving" is a precedence in the Pokemon anime. So it's not an unknown unforeseeable circumstance, at least not for us audiences.
Because there is a difference between not liking how something turned out and calling what happened DEM.
You can dislike how it went down all you want, but it's still not DEM.
Ash did not go into that battle knowing it would evolve, it was a completely conveniently placed power up that results in his win. It may be common in this cartoon ... but that's because it's an over-used plot device in a cartoon geared towards children. As I explained, it's used for "dramatic effect" and to make the fights seem more dynamic and entertaining. And as I said, I'm happy it happened that way. It's pretty much a guaranteed win when a Pokemon evolves in the middle of a battle seeing as ... that always happens when a Pokemon evolves in battle. It doesn't automatically put them above the Pokemon they beat seeing as it's an unexpected turn of events in their world and that alone can turn the tables.

Is it DEM when a fighter is pummelling another fighter who can't seem to fight back to suddenly get a lucky break and make an amazing comeback, when it was so certain that he was just going to lose just moments before?
Evolution is there, accessible to the Pokemon.
Evolved Pokemon are more powerful than their unevolved forms, the game taught us that. So clearly it would be no wonder why Krookodile would do better than it's pre-evolved form.
Now something like Pikachu evolving into Raichu and beating an opponent, now that's DEM because evolution isn't accessible to Pikachu without a thunderstone.
Krokorok evolves by level up. And we've seen Pokemon evolve in mid-battle through training.
We've seen Pokemon evolving because of emotional reasons. We've seen Pokemon evolving because they were pushed in the corner, and most likely a powerful surge of adrenaline rushes through their body to induce evolution.
Evolution isn't merely a great power that steps in. We've had the anime tell us that Pokemon can refuse the evolutionary process. We've had the anime tell us that Pokemon can induce evolution if they want to evolve at the moment.
It's a tool that they can use. A last resort tool.
An unevolved Pokemon has moves and abilities to use at their disposal. And should that fail them, why wouldn't they be able tap in the power to evolve for that boosted strength and potentially a new move?
Isn't that what people in a war do?
Let's assume for a moment that there's some giant monster creature out there in New York State United States. So the army fires missiles, bullets, mortar shells at this giant monster creature and yet no effect. Are you really arguing that it's DEM that the president ordered a fighter jet from Maine to fly to New York and deliver a nuclear warhead that just so happens to kill the monster.
Because that's what you seem to be arguing, if it's not right there, in the sense that Ash can say "Krokorok EVOLVE!" and Krokorok does evolve that it's some great "powerful" force that solves unsolvable problem. Even though I would compare evolution to that fighter jet in a few states over it's accessible but not immediately accessible.
But isn't that like arguing that a Pokemon that knows Ice beam and three electric attack going up against a grass/ground Pokemon, that ice beam is DEM since it's a great force that solves unsolvable problem.
And before you argue, this hypothetical situation is without knowing that ice attacks do great harm to a grass/ground Pokemon and electric attacks have no effect on a ground Pokemon. No matter how many times electric moves don't work on the ground Pokemon you finally use your ice attack and the Pokemon gets knocked out.
You could only argue that if and only if you knew Batman didn't always keep Shark Repellent on his belt for all we know it could be a staple item because Batman had a horrible experience with sharks at one point, and always wants shark repellent even if he's stopping crooks rob a bank.Like Batman and his belt of DEM. It makes PREFECT sense that Batman would have XYZ in their world ... but it's still DEM when he just so happens to have Shark Repellent at just the right time when he didn't expect to be around sharks.
After all there is saying. "Expect the Unexpected."
And thus I would argue that any place/location that can hold large amounts of water to contain sharks could very well contain sharks. Even if the likelihood depends on whether or not there are actual sharks, it's always better to be prepared than not.
Isn't that why people are supposed to have emergency kits in their vehicle? I mean no one expects to be caught in the middle of a sudden blizzard that causes them to crash and get stuck. Is it DEM that there just so happens to be a blanket in the back seat, warm enough to keep you warm until the blizzard passes?
Plus in real life, I can even attest to the saying "Why didn't I think of it sooner?" So I wouldn't argue that a "lightbulb" moment at the last minute to escape is considered DEM.
After all it's hard to think rationally and intelligently when you're about to be killed by a table saw. And who knows possibly you don't need to use the "convenient escape item" to escape. Maybe the ropes weren't tight enough, why go straight to the laser pen when the more likely action you're going to perform the action of struggling with the ropes.
Of course this analogy is getting way off base here.
But my point is evolution is accessible to the Pokemon. Trainers really can't control when their Pokemon evolve unless stone induced evolution, or maybe trade evolution. So arguing that Ash doesn't know evolution is going to happen, doesn't make it any less accessible.
And again in regards to Axew's outrage, I wouldn't call that DEM for the simple fact, that Pokemon can use up to nine moves during a battle where the opposing trainer is using 6 Pokemon, just by game logic. Granted nearly impossible circumstances, but game logic, says if the right circumstances were to work, a Pokemon can use nine moves. Sure if we use game logic, then Axew would've had to defeat a Pokemon to learn outrage to use it against Golett, but without knowing how Pokemon learn moves, we can't exactly say that it's the same in the anime and thus Pokemon can learn moves during battle. For all we know the move might have actually already existed but maybe it wasn't accessible because it wasn't quite there, knowing how to use the move was incomplete, it was like at 50% but couldn't be used because it wasn't all there. Maybe as Axew was, being pushed into absolute fear of being attacked, instead of inducing evolution maybe the adrenaline filled in the missing 50% of the move allowing it to use.
Again we don't know how Pokemon learn their moves. We can't really understand how a Pokemon learns moves naturally. The only thing I can think of is that, the moves are there (but are like only at 1%), there just has to be conditions that need to be satisfied.
I mean move tutor moves make sense. Watching a Pokemon using a move makes sense. Upgrading moves make sense.
But in-game as well as the anime some moves naturally or TM or egg move, a Pokemon learns a move that's like learning French but with not having heard French before. So like I said the only way to rationalize is the blueprints are there coded within the Pokemon, just certain circumstances need to be satisfied in some fashion to use said moves.
So basically don't confuse bad writing or unfavorable writing with DEM.
This whole debate about evolution in mid-battle being DEM is utterly ridiculous. Someone mentioned the real life example of what adrenaline can allow humans to do in moments of duress that they normally wouldn't be able to do. Pokemon battles, particularly gym battles, or important battles such as in these tournaments, mean just as much to the Pokemon battling as to their trainers, and the fact that the Pokemon wants to win, for it's trainer, ads to that intensity. In a real life sense, these are the moments when Adrenaline would be kicking in like mad. It has always made more sense to me that evolution would happen in a moment of passion or great need, when the Pokemon has reached it's limit in the pre-evolved stage and requires that boost in strength, power, whatever. The show doesn't take into account the "experience" factor when it comes to evolution, as the games rely on. If anything, the Anime is more realistic in that sense then the games, there isn't a magic number for relate-able things in real life. Does it make the battle more dramatic, yes, evolution on it's own is exciting, does it turn the tide of the battle, more often then not yes, but that's the point of the evolution in the first place. Thinking back to when Chimchar evolved into Monferno, his evolution was one of the few examples when his evolution didn't lead to victory. In other situations, a Pokemon evolved just after battling, such as when Charmander evolved. That evolution was more from the build up of all Charmander had just done in a very short amount of time, he was on the high of an Adrenaline rush. I guess the big point is, in the show, evolution comes quite often as a need, when there's really no other way to continue in the moment.
As to this whole debate about Iris catching Dragonite, why is this so controversial to people. Iris didn't intentionally go seeking out a Dragonite, it just happened to be something she ran into. She put herself in harms way to protect it, and ensured it's treatment. She gained it's trust/respect. Did her capture give her a pre-determined powerhouse, yes, but so what, why is that such a big deal to people? It's clear from these battles in the tournament, Iris and Dragonite still are going to have issues that will need resolved, which will build on their story and relationship beyond this tournament. As powerful as Dragonite is, clearly it isn't unbeatable, as it will loose to Krokodile. If Iris had gotten an unbeatable Pokemon, then fine, yeah, everyone's issue with the capture would make sense, but Dragonites have been beaten before, they'll be beaten again. Iris's Dragonite will win some and loose some. The capture happened, whether you like it or not, it's time to let it go and just go with it.
Okay, so I come back after more then a week of absence, and the sillyness still isn't over.. Well, at least I didn't miss any of it :P
Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
"If I had my way in DP, Ash would've hit the league with: Pikachu, Ambipom (his to keep), Torterra (Grass/Starter), Lucario (Ace), Chingling (Cute), Bidoof (Water-type) and Heatran (Fire-type)."
Spoiler:- GenVII Starter names speculation:
I don't have any confirmation on their designs or what not, but these just came to me, and I want to get credit for if they turn out true. Dated 1:54am on 6-6-16:
- Rowlet: Arrowl
- Litten: Burstiger
- Popplio: Bubblaid
The second line is meant to be sarcastic.. Though there was a random trainer with a Heatran at the Sinnoh League..
So I would rather Trip either use a different Pokemon. Or someone else falls to Serperior than Leavanny. And if it's not Krookodile/Leavanny then I hope it's whatever potential 2nd round Pokemon Ash uses because at least it would've gotten a win.
I doubt want Unfezant to be used against Serperior either. Pignite is the only acceptable type advantage Pokemon that should lose to Serperior.

The implementation of harsh austerity measures has curtailed press freedom in Greece.
The recent, sudden closure of the public broadcaster ERT is only the last episode of a crisis that has seen journalists fired after criticizing a minister – like the popular anchor Marilina Katsimi – or brought to court – like Kostas Vaxevanis – for publishing a hidden "shame list" of Greek citizens that have undeclared accounts in Switzerland.

Author has written 7 stories for NCIS, One Tree Hill, Smallville, and Glee.
Important Notices:
feel free to pm me about anything. Questions, comments, reviews, lonely and just wanna chat I'll be happy to reply when possible
07/14/13: First of all I would like to say I am slowly working on my stories but I have bad writers block and it's hard to get through. Also what this update is really about R.I.P CORY MONTEITH you were truly a great actor and will be missed. This is the first time I have reacted so strongly to an actors or musicians death maybe it's because I'm older or because I'm completely in love with Glee. I never liked your character Finn to much but I will always love you.
09/21/13: Just a quick update chapter sixteen of Smallville has been updated and I will not be updating that for a while as I've run out of ways to continue it however I will be continuing it at some point. I'm back in school for my final year of highschool and so I'm trying my best to work through it so I can pass all my classes which doesn't seem too hard at the moment. I'm also looking for more work because I'm still being screwed over. I have edited all chapters of One Tree Hill and will be posting them all again as soon as I get another chapter written. Oh and I forgot to mention this but at the beginning of August my brother got a new computer and so I asked for his old one I LOVE IT! so much better than a crappy netbook.
02/08/15: Just an update, I have several chapters for Trapped In Hell written and will eventually get them posted. I really do want to continue The Past And The Present Collide eventually but I just don't know where to start again. I'm taking any requests for any stories really.
04/15/16 I'm still around! I stopped writing for a bit because I didn't know where to begin but I picked it back up again! I'd love to have someone to talk to about any of my stories :) I'm about to update another chapter of Trapped In Hell soon so stay tuned!
Looking for stories:
Glee: looking for a Puckleberry fanfic where Rachel & Puck get married in high school so they can keep Beth. It's a really long one but good one. Quinn doesn't want to raise Beth (has a different name) but stays in her life as godmother I think and doesn't want to be her mother and so to avoid adoption Puck marries Rachel to keep her. They live in his childhood house. Then his father shows back up-his mom gets pregnant again and so Puck's parents & sister move across the street into a new house. Santana is not in this story as she moved pretty early on over the summer break. Um Rachel finds Shelby basically the same way as she did in the show. She didn't like the idea of the baby at first (she's like the last time I met you you weren't pregnant) it was rocky for a while then I think she came around.

I have natural blonde hair however I have a obsession with dying my hair. I've gone back & forth between blonde and brunette for the last 2 years, I always love random colours in my hair always :)
My personal life is well strange, I used to love hanging out with friends but more recently I've grown up and realized that it's just drama. I'm too old for it I'm tired of it. My thing I stick to is simple. If you don't want to tell me what your problem is then don't expect me to stick around and be your friend. Basically if you start shit, don't want to tell me what your shit is I walk away. I believe in giving people second chances but they have to be the ones to talk to me, I'm tired of the bullshit.
Music is my life I'm in love with pretty much anything music. I think I have an unnatural obsession with Beyonce, Glee and Penatonix. I have a huge (or what I consider huge) CD collection. I'm very open to suggestions of something new to listen to :)
I also have an obsession with Disney because who doesn't? Instead of spending all my money on CDS like I used to I now spend it on Disney DVDS/blu rays. For two reasons. One? Cause I want it. Two? To get rid of any old VHS Tapes we have lying around which is alot.
I got introduced to this site from my four friends which at the time I had no interest in, however a few months later I had gotten bored and started surfing around on this site again and fell in love with it, those friends currently have accounts like me but are not as interested any more sad I know. Any valuable information about me and my writing is on this site.
My Bucket List or dream list-which ever you choose to call it
go rock climbing
Go To Florida(again)
Go To Cuba
Go To Jamaica
Get a bigger bedroom; I actually got this! I switched bedrooms then mine became a storage room for a while and now its a TV room. Which will actually switch in a few months when I get a couch which will not fit in this room.
own all seasons of TV shows I like
buy a laptop
About my writing well I love to write and my style has changed quite abit over the years, I mostly write on my computer, sometimes on my phone or on paper. I tend to write very random but try to make sense some days I can happily write like five chapters or some days I can barely get a sentence started. My newest obsession? Smallville or well should say old obsession turned new. Now on to my stories.
My Review policy: I normally don't leave reviews and it's not just because I don't want to, it's because a) time restrictions (some-days I only get 5 minutes in on the computer) and I just don't know what to say. Alot of the time though I get really into a story and will bookmark it for a later date. That way if I have any questions or comments really I can type them in a review that way I don't have to go through the Private Messaging system(PM) here and it's easier for me and the author to keep track of.
Twitter life: I have two accounts though I'm rarely one the second. One is just for me to be a fangirl and just generally hide from real life and the second is for real life to follow me. So I don't have to deal with the questions like 'Oh I have twitter too why dont you follow me?'
Curt Mega @curtmega he plays Nick Devual on Glee as a Warbler from Dalton Academy,
Alex Anders @alxanders who is a sound producer for Glee,
Joanquin Sedillo @JOAQUINSEDILLO who is one of the camera men who film Glee,
Tena Parker Baker @IAMHAIRBYTENA who is a hair stylist on Glee
Brad Ellis @BradEllisPiano who plays the Piano on Glee his name is Brad (of course)
Andrea Medina @AndreaMedina she's a costume person on Glee -almost had a proper conversation with her once but I couldn't message her back
I'm hoping to get a tweet from one of the main cast eventually
Adult Life: One Tree Hill, in progress, currently about to be edited and will be posted soon as I get another chapter written.
The Secrets of People: NCIS, Complete-Not my best work, might re edit that as well but it's not on my current list of things and will probably be the last thing I do.
The Truth About Lily: One Tree Hill, Complete one-shot, was originally written as a school project thanks to a teacher who's obsessed with fanfiction too(weird right?) It was actually supposed to be about Nathan and Lucas' relationship however I couldn't get past like anything for that and well The idea for Lily just popped in my head and I got that. I wasn't supposed to sense it was the final project for the school year but my teacher accepted it though did take 2 points off my final grade for changing my project without permission.
Lily's Life: tag to The Truth About Lily don't need to read. Basically it's the same concept only a background and somewhat different things. Lily actually discovering the truth herself along with help from some friends and Jamie-crossover with Glee.
You Are Not Alone: NCIS, Complete one-shot, I was really obsessed with NCIS and the Michael Jackson song of the same name at the time and that's what came out of it.
The Past and the Present Collide: Smallville, in-progress, don't know when it'll be finished. re-written, originally had sixteen chapters now down to 12 as I've re-written it and taken alot of stuff out. On hold as I don't know where to go with it anymore at the moment. Seems to be a trend.
Trapped In Hell: Glee, About Quinn's life centred around before, during and after her pregnancy from s1. It's mostly AU with cannon things popping up. Currently in progress with 5 chapters posted and a 6th soon. Gonna repost chapters as they've been edited and will post a new chapter as well.

The price estimates are guesses. But building transit and paying for it was John Tory's pitch to Toronto. And he was full of beans defending it Wednesday
The Toronto mayor suggested in an opinion piece many people who opposed the one-stop transit line 'do not live or work in Scarborough, where more than half the population is born outside of Canada'
While the additional construction work will inevitably cause noise, officials say Toronto has no choice but to continue, nearly doubling the 'extended hours' work that took place in 2015
I'm pouring a drink and focusing on the positive. Good luck, Scarborough. You're going to need it
The mockery Vancouver has made of Canada's medical marijuana laws has officially spread to the centre of the universe, and John Tory is not having it
New rules create a separate regulatory category for 'private transportation companies,' while easing rules on fares and training for traditional taxi brokers and drivers
The consumers spoke, and city hall listened. We are through the looking glass here, people. Good lord … what if it catches on?
Uber Canada officials told the National Post that if the rules that came out of the licensing committee were adopted by council, the company would pull out from Toronto
Black Lives Matter activists are trying to effect real change and save lives. It's going to get uncomfortable for a mayor who believes in compromise and consensus
I stood on the corner for perhaps eight minutes, mouth agape, watching as eastbound motorists blocked the intersection over and over and over again

We arrived a lot later than planned due to traffic, but we still received a very warm welcome from Helena and her husband. They were very friendly,gave plenty of information for the stay and made sure we were comfortable. They were also available at all times if we had questions about our stay. The appartment was beautiful and very clean, with a lovely balcony. It was also fitted with anything you might need for cooking, cleaning, laundry... etc. The location was also lovely as it was only a few minutes outside of Split, but you were spared the noise and crowds of the city. There is also a very nice beach close by as well as a few rocky beaches. Also the large parking space was very nice. Overall, we had a great stay with Helena in Stobrec, and we would recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in the beautiful area around Split!
Helena was very nice, friendly and helpfull ! The appartment was great located at Stobrec, near to the beach and restaurants / supermarket / bus station. It's just at 20 min by bus to go to Split, so it's easy to go there. Everything was new and clean, I recommand it for people who wants to be in a place without lots of tourists :)
Very good hollidays, thanks Helena ;)
Helena and Mario were very nice people :)

text: 4 BANACH ALGEBRAS WITH INVOLUTION. STAR ALGEBRAS 341 7. (a) In a star algebra, every hermitian quasi-nilpotent element (Section 15.2, Problem 5) is zero. (b) Let A be a star algebra with unit element, and let x be an element of A which is not left-invertible. Then x*x is not invertible in the star subalgebra B of A generated by 1 and x*x, and therefore there exists a sequence (yn) of elements of B such that \\ytt\\ = 1 and \imynx*x = Q (use the Gelfand-Neumark theorem). Deduce that a n-�oo noninvertible element of A is necessarily a (left or right) topological zero-divisor. 8. Let A be a star algebra with unit element, x a normal element of A, and S = SpA(x). Then there exists a unique homomorphism 9? of the star algebra ^C(S) into A, trans- forming unit element into unit element, and such that 9(ls) = x. This homomorphism is an isometry, which sends / to <p(/)*, of ^C(S) onto the star subalgebra of A gen- erated by 1, x and x*; all the elements of this subalgebra are therefore normal. Put <p(f) =/(x), and show that if/is analytic in a neighborhood of S, then the element f(x) is equal to the element so denoted in Section 15.2, Problem 11. 9. Let A be a star algebra with unit element. Let P denote the set of self-adjoint elements of A such that SpA(*) c [0, + oo [. (a) Show that if x e A is self-adjoint and \\e � x\\ <� 1, then x e P. If x e P and ||*II ^ 1, then ||e �#|| ^ 1. (Consider the subalgebra generated by e and x.) Show that a self-adjoint element x belongs to P if and only if \\x � \\x\\e\\ <S ||jt||. (b) Deduce from (a) that P is a closed convex cone in A, such that P n (�P) = {0}. (c) Show that the relation x*xe � P implies that x � Q. (Observe first that also xx* e � P, and by writing x = u+iv, where u and v are self-adjoint, deduce that x*x e P, whence x*x = 0.) (d) Deduce from (c) that x*x e P for all x e A. (Write x*x = u � u, where �, v are hermitian and belong to P, and uv = vu =� 0 (use Problem 8). If z = xv, show that z*ze�P, and deduce that v = 0.) Deduce that e-{� x*x is invertible in A (use Problem 8). 10. (a) Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with unit element, and let JCH->;C* be any involution on A. For each character x �f A, put x*(X) = %(#*). Show that Xi-�X* *s an involutory homeomorphism of the space X(A). (b) Let X be a metrizable compact space, and <p an involutory homeomorphism of X onto X. For each/e tfc(X), put/*(*) =/(9?(x)). Show that this defines an involu- tion on ^c(X), and that every involution on ^c(X) may be so obtained. (c) Let X be the compact subspace of R2 which is the union of the segment y = 0, � 1 ^ x ^ 2, the segment x � 0, 1 <� y ^ 2, the circle x2 + y2 = I and the open half- disk D:y>0, x2 -\~ y2 <l. Assume that the only involutory homeomorphism of X onto X is the identity (Chapter XXIV). Let A be the Banach subalgebra of ^C(X) consisting of functions which are analytic in D. Show that the spectrum of A can be canonically identified with X, and that the algebra A has no involution other than the identity. 11. Let A be a noncommutative star algebra with unit element. (a) Show that there exists a hermitian element y e P (notation of Problem 9) such that y is invertible and y2 is not in the center Z of A. (Using Problem 9, show that if the result were false, the intersection of Z with the real vector subspace H of A con- sisting of the hermitian elements would contain a neighborhood of e in H, which would imply that A was commutative.)itive measures belonging to M�(X, v), where the space X is compact,

Always loved the idea of growing own food, now I can mix that with high tech!
John Payne's curator insight, July 27, 12:13 PM
While not a substitute to the paths to legitimacy described in this article, there are a couple of others I believe to be important: the leverage that can be provided by automation, and the influence of a powerful ally that stands to profit from making that automation available. I'm referring to the agricultural equipment industry, which, if it were to embrace the full potential of robotics to enable better agricultural practices, could both accelerate the adoption of those practices and profit handsomely from doing so.

|Review by: Bobby G
|Overall the course is in excellent shape - greens were rolling very true but not holding much at all. Thanks to my friend, a memeber who invited me to play, I did NOT go after the pin but rather tried to land it about 10 yards shy. I found the staff to be very pleasant and speed of play was incredible - we finished in 3 hours and did not feel hurried or waiting at any point in time.

St. Petersburg PD's Sgt. Tom Baitinger (left) and Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz were ambushed by a suspect hiding in an attic. Photo courtesy of St. Petersburg PD.
Two St. Petersburg (Fla.) Police officers were killed Monday, while backing up a U.S. Marshal serving a warrant for the apprehension of a sexual offender.
Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz, 39, and Sgt. Tom Baitinger, 48, accompanied a U.S. Marshal, who was shot twice during the same incident and is expected to survive. The officers arrived at the residence of Hydra Lacy Jr., and were let in by a woman who told them Lacy was armed and hiding in the attic.
After talking with Lacy, the Marshal entered the attic and was shot in his ballistic vest. Lacy then fired at the officers, striking Yaslowitz first, and then Baitinger, who was providing cover.
The agency deployed an armored tactical vehicle to extract Yaslowitz. Lacy was found dead, after the house was partially dismantled using heavy machinery.
Sgt. Baitinger became the first St. Petersburg officer killed on duty since 1980. Officer Yaslowitz had just finished his shift and was driving home, when he decided to respond to the call.
"Our community has suffered a loss today," St. Petersburg Chief Chuck Harmon said during a somber press conference outside of Bayfront Medical Center.

Dynam A-10 extreme setup
Hi Guys, Im doing a Dynam A-10 extreme 4s setup that I got at www.hobbyshopwarehouse.com
This is there extreme stock setup they suggest...
EDF-Edo 4800kv motor and fan unit...edo 50 amp esc
4s 3600mah 45c lipo
I'm planning on using the stock servos in the ailerons and using hitecs in elevator and steering. Im going to use the stock LG to start with, then plan on upgrading to RCLanders electric suspension retracts after ive tested the
4s setup.
Ive already done a stock dynam A-10, actually two of them now and have found all the places this airframe needs some extra touches of re-inforcments etc...DJ

Russ, im tossing around the idea of Rudders and havnt made up my mind on that part yet
Heya Sammy, yeah ive got plans for the use of cf in several key locations now that ive crashed one and seen where it likes to break at. Actually im surprised at how little damage my nose in caused, on both my crashes the wing and tail feathers experienced no damage at all. Only on the last nose in did the fuse finally break and it only broke in two places, it was how it crinkled up that made me want to get new airframes to work with for this build and a new stock setup. This airframe is rather tough for a foamie...DJ
olwarbirds...I'm building a hot 4S Version myself. Already cut in the Flaps & Leading Edge Slats, then the E-Tracts go in. I'll be running two 6-blade Cyclone Power Turbojet 64 4500kv Ducted Fans along w/ two 2200mah Nana-Techs, so I'll need the flaps & slats since it'll probably come in fast & heavy.
Since you're familiar with this A-10, are there any places besides the usual (main wings & Horz. stab) that I need to add cf reinforcement?

Rick, only other place that i think needs cf is in the fuse from just in front of where the nacelles glue on , from that pt all the way too the tail...with the weight and extra thrust of these hotter setups i think we might get some flex there.....
Ive found that I cant use my edo fan housing, trying to adapt the edo fans to the stock fan housing. If not the stock 6 blades are not bad fans at all and i will just hook the edo 4800kv motors to them...DJ

The EDO fan housings would not fit in nacelles correctly, so I was able to put the EDO motor and fan units into the stock dynam fan housing. All the motor mounting holes lined up perfectly and the fan fits nicely. I fired them up and im very impressed with the amount of thrust and how they sound. Chuck from HSW was right, he told me i would really like these EDO edf's.
The airframe only dynam A-10 comes with the stock fans and housings and it even includes the adaptor to mount stock fan to motor of your choice, only thing it dont come with is electronics.....DJ
Slats & Flaps are cut in & hinged. Notice the Straight Cut, this allows the Flaps to fit Tight to the wing when Closed with NO bevels underneath to create turbulence!
I used "Drop Hinges" for the Flaps (like the ones on my "Multiplex Fun Cub"): When they're deployed they drop down & away from the wing, but when they're closed they fit tight to the wing due to the Straight (not beveled) cut.
Top of wing with Flaps closed: (Notice how tight the flaps close against the wing next two pics)
Bottom of wing with Flaps closed:
I had to cut of the back of the nacelles so the flaps would have enough down.
Leading Edge Slats: hinged on the bottom in 4 places.
I plan on using one servo (per side) to operate each Flap & Leading Edge Slat. If you guys like I'll post up some pics when I have then installed.
I mounted my 60A ESC's on each side of the Fuselage right over the COG point and opened up a vent hole for cooling (next to my thump).
I split the Fuselage so I could mount the ESC's inside. I had to extend the 3 motor wires 5.5". I also cut a channel into the foam underneath each ESC so outside air could flow over the ESC's & through the fuse and out the rear of the A-10.
And for grins I cut down the Ridiculously High Instrument Panel so my pilot could see where he's going since I'll need his help flying this thing!
Link to "Drop Hinges": http://sonictronics.com/xcart/produc...cat=321&page=1 HobbyKing now has these for a lot Cheaper!
If you'd like I'll post updates as I go...

My first date, I like to go bowling, or maybe a movie and dinner. Depends on the person I date.
Cuddlin at homeafter we come home from dinner at a nice resturant.
Dinner and a walk
Dinner and a movie
Dinner at a sports bar
maybe dinner, or if the other person would like to keep it simple, just a movie and some drinks. whatever the other person wants too do is fine with me.
Dinner, or just a night out on the town. A place were we can talk and have a grand time.
Going out to dinner and getting to know each other a bit more.
Austin nice meal with time to get to know each other. Then dancing, a movie or a lesbian event going on.
I'd like us to go out for dinner, so we can talk, giggle, and enjoy one another.

I'm trying to get some data from SQL data table with multiple OR conditions. Lets say I have 10 rows in table named products.
My query
SELECT * FROM products
WHERE product_name = 'nice' OR
product_second_name = 'pretty'
Is there any way to select 5 products meeting first condition and another 5 products meeting second condition if table contains 10 products called 'nice' ?
