The X-Rite i1Display Pro is the ultimate choice for discerning photographers, filmmakers, designers and imaging professionals looking for the highest level of on-screen color accuracy for displays, laptops, mobile devices and projectors. Two user modes (Basic and Advanced) provide serious Color Perfectionists with the perfect combination of unrivaled color precision, speed, options and controls to fit any workflow.
Color Perfectionists know that a calibrated and profiled display is a critical element in an efficient digital workflow. Nobody wants to spend hours at their screen perfecting images or video only to find that their display wasn't accurately representing their digital files. What you see on your monitor, mobile device or projector has to match your digital file or you will never be happy with the result, no matter how much time you devote to perfecting it.
Enhanced features include:
- Technologically advanced and ergonomic multi-functional measurement device
- Next generation i1Profiler software for calibrating and profiling all modern laptop and desktop monitor and projector technologies, such as LED, Plasma, RG Phosphor, OLED and Wide Gamut
- Free ColorTRUE mobile app for calibrating Apple® iOS and Android® mobile devices
- Broadcast video standards support: NTSC, PAL SECAM, and ITU-R Rec.BT.709
- Infinite control of white point, luminance, contrast ratio, gamma and more
- Multiple monitor and workgroup profiling
- Intelligent Iterative Profiling – an adaptive technology that measures and analyzes the color capabilities of each unique display for increased accuracy of profile
- Profile optimization – create unique patch sets for optimal results
- Ambient Light Smart Control - measurement, compensation and ongoing monitoring of ambient lighting conditions
- Flare Correct™ - measurement and compensation of display surface glare
- Automatic Display Control (ADC) adjusts your display's hardware to speed up process and eliminate manual adjustments
- Display quality check and trending over time
- PANTONE spot color optimization
Perfect Color And More Control Than You Ever Thought Possible
Color Perfectionists shouldn't guess when it comes to on-screen color accuracy. The color you see on your monitor or projector is the color you should expect from your printer. Once you take the guesswork and frustration out of calibrating and profiling your displays, you'll save time and money while gaining full creative control over your images.
And now, with the ability to change the color grading of video footage growing by leaps and bounds the necessity for accurate color representation on screen is even more paramount. The only way to edit video accurately is to view your footage accurately. With the newly included video color standards you can also make sure that what you see is what you'll get throughout your digital video workflow.
State of the Art Instrument for Unrivaled Color Measurement Accuracy
i1Display incorporates technologically advanced filter and optical systems, amazingly fast measurement speed, and unrivaled color accuracy on all modern display technologies including LED & Wide Gamut LCD displays and mobile devices. It's also spectrally calibrated, which makes it field upgradeable to support future display technologies.
The ultra-modern ergonomic design incorporates three functions – ambient light measurement, monitor profiling, and projector profiling – into a very sleek, compact and fully integrated device with no parts to misplace.
- Intuitive all-in-one design is very easy to use
- Blazing fast speed – measures 5X faster than previous devices
- Compact and self-contained for maximum portability
- Custom designed RGB filter set provides accurate color measurements
- Refined optical design allows for high repeatability on the same display and across different display types for more consistent color matching

"Basic" mode offers a wizard driven interface with predefined options for the quickest path to professional on-screen color. "Advanced" mode offers user-defined options for more sophisticated profiling workflows to deliver the highest quality color results on monitors and projectors, as well as display testing and quality assurance tools. No matter which mode you use, you'll be able to attain professional color results for a more perfect match between your display and printer.
Monitor Profiling
- Calibrate and profile all modern laptop and desktop monitor technologies, such as LED, Plasma, RG Phosphor, OLED and Wide Gamut
- Infinite control of white point, luminance, contrast ratio, gamma and more
- Broadcast video standards support – NTSC, PAL SECAM, and ITU-R Rec.BT.709
- Ambient Light Measurement – automatically determine the optimum display luminance for comparing prints to your display, based on a measurement of the lighting conditions where prints will be viewed
- Ambient Light Smart Control – the intensity or amount of ambient light surrounding your workspace affects the way you perceive colors on your display. i1Display Pro can compensate for this effect and provide the option to automatically adjust your profile or simply notify you as ambient light conditions change
- Flare Correct™ measures and adjusts your display profile for reduced contrast ratios caused by flare light (or glare) falling on surface of display. By accurately measuring your effective display contrast ratio, you'll have an even more accurate display profile
- Intelligent Iterative Profiling, an adaptive technology that produces optimized results for maximum color accuracy on each unique display every time you profile
- 3 patch set sizes – small, medium, or large – allow you to increase your profile accuracy by measuring a higher number of patches
- Profile optimization – create custom patch sets to optimize your profiles by choosing a combination of patch set size, extracted colors from specific images and/or PANTONE spot colors selected from the included PANTONE Color Manager software
- Automatic Display Control (ADC) technology automates the adjustment of your display's hardware (brightness/backlight, contrast, and color temperature) to speed up the profiling process and eliminate manual adjustments
- Workflow Flexibility – advanced user-defined controls support more sophisticated workflows. For example, White Point can be set from predefined values, custom xy values, based on measurement of ambient light, based on measurement of another display, or from previously measured values, etc.
- Multiple Display and Workgroup Matching – re-use profile settings on multiple displays connected to the same computer or to multiple computers within a workgroup

May your year be filled with the benefits of God
Psalm 103
1 Praise the LORD, my soul:
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits -
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's
My Heart is touched today when
meditating on the
benefits of God.
The wonderful things God can do if we believe
Forgives sins
Heals diseases
Redeems life
Crowns one with love and compassion
Satisfies one with good things
Renews youth

text: The Freya Crescent wiki last edited by FoxhoundXIII on 12/19/13 02:39PM View full history OverviewFreya Crescent is a strong, intelligent female Burmecian, known for her extensive skills with spears and other polearms. Freya is from the country of never-ending rain, a place that is home to a humanoid "rat" race, either Burmecian or Cleyran. She has been known to be confrontational, especially with an equally hard-headed Amarant.StoryFreya was once a dragon knight in the Kingdom of Burmecia, whose sole duty was to protect the King and his family. Freya worked often with fellow dragon knight and lance user Fratley. They fell in love, and remained that way, until Fratley decided he needed to train in order to better protect his home. He left Burmecia, traveling the world. Freya often heard rumors of his death, but never believed them. She meets Zidane Tribal and the party while they are in Lindblum, attending (and participating in) the Festival of the Hunt.After the festival, a near-dead Burmecian soldier arrives bearing news of an attack on Freya's home. She joins the party, intent on saving her home and protecting the King. The party is too late for Burmecia, but they learn the King and other Burmecians are hiding away in the sandstorm fortress of Cleyra. While in Cleyra to protect the people, Fratley returns, with no memory of who he is or who Freya is. Freya is devastated, but doesn't give up hope, helping save Princess Garnet from the Queen's treachery, and buying time to let them escape. In the end, she helps defeat Necron, and save the world. During the last scenes, it shows Freya and Fratley (with his memories recovered) as they decide to rebuild Burmecia together.AbilitiesFreya has several key abilities in her arsenal, including the powerful Jump attack (jump in the air one turn, and crash down on enemy for more damage a turn or two later) and her Dragon Knight skills. They are:Lancer - Physical attack that drains MP equal to 1/16 of the damage done. Damage is 120% of normal attack.Reis's Wind - Casts Regen on all party members.Dragon Breath - Reduces all enemies' HP based on target's max HP minus current HP of target.White Draw - Damages an enemy's MP and restores a small amount of MP to all party members between 0 and the enemy's level *2 - 1.Luna - Inflicts Berserk on all allies and enemies, unless immune.Six Dragons - Absorbs HP/MP from 2 characters to heal the other 2.Cherry Blossom - Deals non-elemental magic damage to all enemies. Damage is 150% of normal attack.Dragon Crest - Deals physical damage to a single enemy that ignores Protect and Defense. Damage is equal to the square of the number of dragon killed. Therefore, if the player kills 100 dragons, it deals 9999 damage (100x100=9999 max).TranceWhen Freya goes into a Trance, she glows a bright pink, and has heightened attack power. While in Trance, she can perform a special version of the Ability "Jump." She jumps into the air, and turn after turn rains spears on the enemy for large amounts of damage. It lasts for 3 turns.

Kate Middleton, Prince William "Enjoying Bonding Time" With Prince George in Bucklebury
Baby time at Bucklebury! New royal family Kate Middleton, Prince William and days-old son Prince George Alexander Louis wasted little time getting away from the prying eyes of London for the relative seclusion and tranquility of Bucklebury in the countryside, where the common-born Duchess' parents Michael and Carole Middleton still live.
As previously reported, past noon on Wednesday, July 24 -- two days after George's birth and one day after his headline-making debut outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital -- the Duke and Duchess, both 31, loaded their future King into a black Range Rover and departed Kensington Palace for Bucklebury.
PHOTOS: Awww! Kate and Will as kids
"This is now private and quiet time for them to get to know their son," a palace rep told Us Weekly following the trio's safe arrival at George's maternal grandparents home. And, a source tells Us that mother, father and baby are "all doing well" and "enjoying time bonding with George and being around family" in Bucklebury. (Before their London departure, little George received Palace visits from grandmother Queen Elizabeth, uncles Prince Harry and James Middleton and aunt Pippa Middleton.)
Not that the royals weren't making news from their hideaway: Shortly after their arrival at Bucklebury, they announced, via Clarence House tweet, their son's much-anticipated name.
"Don't read into [the names] too much," another source close to the Duke and Duchess told Us Weekly, although many previous royals from several centuries have all been named George, Alexander, and Louis. "They are not meant to be symbolic; they are just names the couple like."

BBCi have this week launched a flash-based "Radiophon-A-Tron" for budding theme tune mixers.
SO far I have developed a new version of the theme tune containing just the first chime of the Colin Baker theme tune, but my proudest moment was creating a version that wouldn't have been out of place during the Beatles Revolution 9 from the White Album.
My next plan is to mix a version of Whole Lotta Love with Doctor Who theme tune elements.
Endless hours can be spent remixing the tune and generally winding up your collegues and/or spouse between now and the launch of the new series – visit it here.

Currently there is no way to setup the network server to ensure that it accepts connections coming in at a certain security mechanism. It seems reasonable & useful to have a server want to accept connections from clients with a particular security mechanism (e.g lets say encrypted userid/password and reject usridpwd ie clear text userid and password) > This jira will add support for this by adding a property to enable the server to be able to accept connections from clients with a certain security mechanism. > -------------------- > I actually couldnt find if a rank was given to the security mechanisms in the drda spec.

(See also "effective area"). • What is "Effective Area" ? • Effective area is the net area (in square feet) of a grille utilized by the area stream in passing through the face openings. It is used the equation: CFM= Face Velocity X Effective Area. This is the basis for most engineering data. |

DENVER — — Two Colorado Democratic state senators facing recalls over their support for new gun restrictions argued Wednesday to stop the proceedings, telling a judge the petitions against them are invalid and that no election should be set until judicial review is complete.
State Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Pueblo Sen. Angela Giron (HEE'-rawn) argue the recall petitions against them were improperly worded and didn't ask for an election to appoint a successor.
Denver District Court Judge Robert Hyatt heard arguments Wednesday and will rule Thursday afternoon whether to grant a preliminary injunction.
Supporters of the recall maintain their petitions are valid. The Secretary of State's office has agreed and is seeking a court order to force Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper to set an election date. Hyatt will also rule on that petition Thursday.
Both lawmakers are being targeted because of their support for legislation that limits most ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and an expansion of background checks to include online and private firearm sales. Most Colorado sheriffs are also suing to overturn the laws, which took effect July 1.
Proponents of the recall argue the lawmakers violated people's Second Amendment rights.
Attorney Mark Grueskin, who is representing Morse and Giron, has argued that petition signers didn't know exactly what they were signing. The petitions asked whether the lawmakers should be recalled but didn't ask whether an election should be held to appoint a successor, which the state constitution requires.
"Nobody ever picked it up," he said of the recall backers. "What they did is they dusted off something in a file."
Attorney Richard Westfall, who is representing recall organizers, said their petition is valid because they were operating under the guidance of the Colorado Secretary of State using template language for recalls that has been around since 2005.
No Colorado state lawmaker has ever faced a recall. The elections could come between early August and early September, unless a judge steps in and grants an injunction.
Grueskin contends that the omission in the recall petitions is crucial. He cites a 2002 appellate ruling that sides with his argument. In that case, recall petition signatures for two Central City aldermen and the mayor were filed, but they didn't include language demanding an election
Matthew Grove, who is representing the Secretary of State's office on behalf of the Colorado attorney general, said the court must lean in favor of "the fundamental right of the people to exercise a recall."
Meanwhile, Hickenlooper said Tuesday his office is trying to coordinate with the clerks in Morse and Giron's district to find one election date for both.
"I don't think it serves anybody to have two separate dates for an election in communities where they have overlapping television and radio," he said. The governor said he wants to find a date that maximizes voter turnout and gives candidates "the maximum amount of time to get their message out."
An attorney for Hickenlooper told the judge the governor wants the judicial process to conclude before he has to set a date.

Hey Alex, been real. I think this thread is Kaput (for me)! But that single malt actually sounds good... maybe some day! Good luck on the salmon... I'll be on a tree stand hoping a whitetail walks within bow range in a day or so... hopefully the wolves over here on the East side will share! PS Tallflyguy: there is no "wolf crisis"... If the ID politicians wanted to identify a real crisis, they should be thinking about their pathetic education system http://www.idahoreporter.com/2012/a...ion-ranks-near-the-bottom-at-47th-in-country/ ID demigogues should forget the wolves and take care of their people.
The only thing that's expendable today is more lead and dead wolves... those would be PEARs not apples.
Now that I read back in a few posts, I've come to realize there's one guy on this thread who deserves respect... his name is Alex and if not for him I would not be having this discussion as he's been both the wolf and the elk in his lifetime... Thank you! I will bow out now because very little else seems of importance.
I never said that I had any balls. Since you infer that you do, prove to us that you really have balls and are not all talk. I'll even let you off with Bonneville instead of Puget Sound. With a handle like Trustfunder, I guess you feel you have something to prove, especially on bigger water than Rock Creek.
Thanks very much for your kind words, Trustfunder! I hope folks will consider this issue, as it's a very important one given the current public desire to sustain what they consider "wild". Ironically, they can't come up with enough $$ to keep the state parks afloat! This wolf situation comes from, I believe, an incomplete knowledge of how the wilderness really works, how it changes, and adapts. Yes, I know there are people who have graduate degrees in wildlife "whatever", and it's great that they've actually gone to school and read it in a book (My daughter has a degree in wildlife ecology), but in many cases they have little practical experience. That is only earned by countless hours afield, in ALL weather conditions, and all seasons. Boots on the ground, as it were! I feel truly blessed to have been able to spend as much time out there as I have; I've watched mule deer does play practical jokes on each other, then appear to laugh about it, and I've also watched a hen widgeon circle back over a duck blind in search of her mate, who'd just been taken by a hunter. What I've learned in over 60 years of being "out there" is that the wild is simply the most precious gift we enjoy; it's brutal, violent, and beautiful, all at once, and if you're a hunter, it's your duty and honor both, to put yourself in a position where you can work to improve what we have, and to defend and protect the wild, and the creatures within. This means that people like the "Defenders of Wildlife" need to get their collective ass away from their computers and protest signs, and hit the woods for more than a day or two at a time, walk quietly, and carry a big pair of binoculars! Learn to scent rain on the wind. As for me, grouse begins tomorrow, so you know where I'll be!
I'm sure you also believe the NAZI Holocaust was just a bunch of media and propaganda as well, and not a real crisis. You seem to be in your own little false sense of reality. I'm sure its a great little place for you. When you are ready to come out of your world of fantasy, Tinkerbell, and pixie dust, and have something concrete and supported by things other than your opinion we can chat.
I wonder why the 'Only good wolf is a dead wolf' folks on this thread seem so hostile and confrontational when someone questions the reasons behind their beliefs? Seems to me that instead of attacking those who may not share your point of view, you'd be eager to explain it in terms that'd convince them to share your convictions. Or not . . . K
"Now that I read back in a few posts, I've come to realize there's one guy on this thread who deserves respect... his name is Alex and if not for him I would not be having this discussion as he's been both the wolf and the elk in his lifetime... Thank you!" Well, if you wait long enough, some people will finally say something based on evidence and Trustfunder has finally done it. I disagree with Alex on some of his conclusions but I greatly appreciate his ability and willingness to explain his position. Good luck with the grouse, Alex.
WE were warned by canadian biologists that the wolves would cause this problem. All these great professional mammologists, biologists friends, etc etc, Richard O speaks of, cooked the books and in the name of science these non-native wolves were introduced. The Canadian biologists who have studied wolves for decades warned us that years of careful scientific study of wolves have shown that wolves hunt local ungulate populations to extinction. Even those experts who are solidly pro-wolf warned of these risky policies. Here is what one top expert predicted when wolf reintroductions were being proposed: "I predict that you are going to have major impacts from wolves in this state…I predict major elk decline…wolves repeatedly depress moose, caribou and elk populations while studying them throughout Canada…I've watched herd after herd [of caribou] go EXTINCT across Canada…The problem, wolves have no know predators to keep them in balance with the ecosystem." —— Tom Bergerud, 1994 Top British Columbia wolf expert
TFG, Just trying to understand something here and not trying to argue the points you made but did Tom Bergerud explain how the wolves that were here before not cause extinction of caribou herds in the past? Or perhaps they did? I don't know enough about this issue to form an opinion one way or the other but I will say this thread has been quite a read.
He was referring to the CAnadian grey wolf, which has been shown, is a different sub-species than the timberwolf or other native wolves, native to this area.
That doesn't explain why they now can eliminate entire caribou herds and not do so in the past or is it these wolves were not present in the same areas the caribor herds were in? Again, I am just trying to understand.

Here's the thing some cars are designed to be useful for 3-6 years. So if you buy a car which is designed to only be good for a limited period of time than if it has over 100k miles it is not worth the effort. At the same time there are some vehicles out there which are designed for professional use which can go 500k with out much issue.
If you were looking at a real jeep (CJ5/CJ7/YJ, TJ, TJ LWB (LJ) and JK models "Wranglers") and not the 4 door SUV I would say 200k isn't bad but I would do a full rebuild on the motor and drive train. The reason being they are classic vehicles and have actual value. The Jeep SUVs however are not worth much. and are really disposable vehicles.
I personally have a 1996 Lincoln Towncar it is a professional Short Wheelbase limousine designed to do 500k+ miles so having one with 150k is fine.
So many generalizations made about vehicles by model.
If the previous owner(s) took good care if the vehicle and you are getting it super cheap then I say go for it. I've seen plenty of the 'reliable' cars out there go to shit before their time because they were lemons from the start or because, more commonly, they weren't taken care of. No leaks, no weird sounds or smells...take it to a mechanic and see if they'll do an inspection on the vehicle for you as this could save you some major headaches down the road.
Thumb rule: 200 000 is the breaking point for most cars.
Unless they're well maintained it's rarely worth getting a car that's driven that far.
"The north still reeks of undeath. Our homelands lay in ruin. Pandaria oozes our hatred and doubt. What hope is there for this world when the Burning Legion again lands upon our shores?" - Eric Thibeau
1997 is new enough to have slightly better quality parts than older model cars, and would be more forgiving later in it's life. However, 200k miles is a lot for any car, and I would only buy a car with that many miles on it IF it had been well taken care of and the owner could show me proof of that.

Don't hate my rig, there's nothing quite like the classics.

That is the reason, what I said was true. Cherokees have no resale because they suck as weekend warrior vehicles, where as the traditional Jeep has the look that hunters and Jeep fans love. I have met many a CJ with a Chevy or Ford engine inside. Just saying, with the CJ/Wrangler it's less about the drive-train and more the body that is important.
Well vehicles are no doubt designed to last a lot longer than most people keep them for before they sell them on, so 200,000 miles is a lot but it's probably well within the capabilities of it to do that again.
Unless you're using it for some illegal activities and its cheap, I wouldn't touch it.
Ya my mom had a 93' Toyota Corolla, and it had 300k miles on it when she traded it in for a new Camry back in 2004. The manager of that dealership bought the car for his grandson, and my mom ran into him at the grocery store just this last year, and he said the car still purrs like a kitten.
I have an old 96 chevy pickup that I got got 2k, it had 250kish on it when I got it and 610k now, only thing I ever had to replace was a battery but they generally only last 4-6 years anyways.

Talk to your kids about…
Inside Job
What roles do risk and caution play in investing? What impact did one-upmanship have among these company executives? Is there any way to justify their apparent greed?
Should a documentarian try and show both sides of a story in his or her film? Does this director present a balanced argument? Is there a balanced argument to present? Why would some people refuse to be interviewed?
Do you believe there is any way to bring those who are responsible for the crisis to justice? How would that happen? Who would have to be involved? Is there anything investors can do to ensure their ventures are relatively sound?

The Daily Beast offers a primer on the best bowl games coming up.
These pieces act as sort of a primer for the stronger, more ambitious work to come.
Nine years ago he dazzled audiences with his $7,000 time-travel flick 'primer.'
What emerges is as complex and textured as any novel while providing a primer on the use of power in a democracy.
Ahead of 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' Sujay Kumar offers a primer on the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
They read the ground, the streams, the sagebrush, and the horizon as a primer set in fat black type.
But this morning he was at his desk copying from his primer on to his slate.
In case either lock or primer should entirely fail, recourse will be had to the friction-primers or to the spur-tubes.
But then he had been in the primer Class from the beginning.
Four times did he bury his primer in the earth; and four times, after giving him a sound thrashing, did they buy him a new one.
late 14c., "prayer-book," also "school book" (senses not distinguished in Middle Ages, as reading was taught from prayer books), from Medieval Latin primarius, from Latin primus "first" (see prime (adj.)). The word also might be all or in part from prime (n.) on the same notion as a "Book of Hours." Meaning "small introductory book on any topic" is from 1807.
"explosive cap," 1819, agent noun from prime (v.).
"first layer of dye or paint," 1680s, from prime (v.).
late 14c., "first in order," from Latin primus "first, the first, first part," figuratively "chief, principal; excellent, distinguished, noble" (source also of Italian and Spanish primo), from pre-Italic *prismos, superlative of PIE *preis- "before," from root *per- (1) "beyond, through" (see per).
Meaning "first in importance" is from 1610s in English; that of "first-rate" is from 1620s. Arithmetical sense (e.g. prime number) is from 1560s; prime meridian is from 1878. Prime time originally (c.1500) meant "spring time;" broadcasting sense of "peak tuning-in period" is attested from 1961.
"earliest canonical hour" (6 a.m.), Old English prim, from Medieval Latin prima "the first service," from Latin prima hora "the first hour" (of the Roman day). Meaning "most vigorous stage" first recorded 1530s; specifically "springtime of human life" (often meaning ages roughly 21 to 28) is from 1590s. In classical Latin, noun uses of the adjective meant "first part, beginning; leading place."
"to fill, charge, load" (a weapon), 1510s, probably from prime (adj.). Meaning "to cover with a first coat of paint or dye" is from c.1600. To prime a pump (c.1840) meant to pour water down the tube, which saturated the sucking mechanism and made it draw up water more readily. Related: Primed; priming.

Three Reasons Why Medicare Cost-Shifting Is the Wrong Solution
The president opened last week's State of the Union address, calling for "modest" changes to contain Medicare costs. One of the president's primary audiences, Congress, faces a series of deadlines in the coming months, including automatic spending cuts on March 1, expiration of the federal budget patch on March 27 and the impending debt ceiling this summer. Any one of these deadlines may force decisions about Medicare's future.

How Two Stolen Van Gogh Paintings Made It Home after a 14-Year Saga
Artsy Editorial
Primarily self-taught and unappreciated during his lifetime, Vincent van Gogh made over 900 paintings and 1,100 works on paper during the decade that he worked as an artist. Influenced by Jean-Francois Millet and the Barbizon School artists, van Gogh's early work comprises dour portraits of Dutch peasants and depressing rural landscapes. In 1886-88 he moved to Paris, where Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism had a big impact on his painting. He brightened his palette, experimented with shorter brushstrokes, impasto, and complementary colors. The paintings he made in Paris announce the bolder Post-Impressionist style that he is best known for today. Emotionally unstable, humorless, and argumentative, van Gogh eventually had a breakdown and moved to an asylum in the south of France where he painted landscapes, portraits, interiors and still lifes steeped with personal symbolism.
Dutch, 1853-1890, Zundert, Netherlands, based in Arles, France, Saint-Rémy, France and Auvers-sur-Oise, France

Flint (Japanese: オーバ Ōba) is a Master Fire-type Trainer and member of the Sinnoh Elite Four.
In the games
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Flint is the third member of the Sinnoh Elite Four. He is friends with Volkner, the Gym Leader of Sunyshore City. Flint's younger brother is Buck, and their grandfather runs the Battleground.
Flint first encounters the player in Sunyshore City, informing him about the recent blackouts and Volkner's disillusionment as a Gym Leader. He asks the player to bring back the excitement of Pokémon battles to Volkner before seemingly returning to the Pokémon League.
In Pokémon Platinum, Flint and Volkner challenge the player and their rival to a Double Battle upon their arrival to the new Battle Frontier.

- Before battle
- "Yo Trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle?
- After sending out last Pokémon
- "I can feel your determination. Your will is overpowering me!"
- During battle (less than half HP)
- "This situation... This is heating up! I'm blazing now!"
- When defeated
- "...! I wasn't expecting this! I wasn't looking down on you... But I didn't think for one second that I'd lose! This is fantastic! You and your Pokémon are inspiring!"

Pokémon Platinum
- Before battle (initial fight)
- "Yo Trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle? You're facing a Fire-type Pokémon user with me. Let Flint see how hot your spirit burns!"
- Before battle (rematch)
- "I was waiting for you, challenger! Flint, the master of the Fire-type, is up next! Battles are clashes of the burning spirit of Pokémon. Battles aren't about appearances or what's weak or strong. It all comes down to whether the combatants can burn hot or not."

- After battle

- ".........Keep going...I know your spirit burns hot. Your whole team does."
- "Yo, Trainer! It's been too long, amigo! Now I don't know what your pal speedy there's been spouting... But we're not doing this out of spite or anything bad natured like that. The Battle Frontier behind us is where the best Trainers gather. We're being kind enough to let you see if you're up to the challenge! You really ought to be grateful!"
- Before battle
- "This situation just cooks! The drama and tension sizzles! Flint, the fiery master of fire Pokémon, is going to put you to the test! Let Flint see how hot your spirit burns!"

- "Hey, you! You used my prize money to buy this furniture, didn't you? So, I've got a right to lounge here, am I right?"
- "Hey, listen, you! If that Volkner tries to sell you on Electric-type Pokémon, ignore him! You have to go with Fire-type Pokémon. It's the way of the future!"
- To Volkner
- "It's this place. You know how drab the League is? Don't you think the place should be more, you know, festive? With more decorations, awards, and things like that?"

In the anime
Flint was mentioned in An Elite Meet and Greet! by Lucian and in A Trainer and Child Reunion! by Officer Jenny.
Flint appeared for the first time in person in Flint Sparks the Fire!. It was revealed in the episode that he had met up with Volkner when they were younger and had become rivals and eventually good friends. After becoming 20 years of age, he left and eventually became a member of the Elite Four. At the same time, Volkner became the Sunyshore Gym Leader.
However he constantly came back to Sunyshore City to convince Volkner to start battling again. After the latter refused Ash's challenge for a Gym battle, he battled Ash in Volkner's place and beat Ash's Pikachu, Infernape, and Buizel with his Infernape easily.
He appeared again in The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!.
He reappeared in The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World! where he watched Volkner battle Ash. He also appeared in Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port! where he battled Jasmine and won. It was also revealed in the episode that he was challenging Cynthia for the title of Sinnoh League Champion.
Flint appeared in Memories are Made of Bliss! where Ash and his friends watched him battling Cynthia on TV. As mentioned by the emcee, Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of Cynthia's Pokémon. However, Infernape lost to Garchomp and Flint lost the match.
Flint uses this Pokémon in the anime:

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Flint first appears when Volkner invites him to help him investigate a giant hole that appeared in the Sendoff Spring. Later, the two are seen in the Fight Area with their Pokémon. They are later seen investigating the hole at the Sendoff Spring when they receive a call from Buck. He tells Buck about the object that he is looking for at Stark Mountain, the Magma Stone, but the reception is lost and they get cut off.
Later, Flint and Volkner witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the Distortion World. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the Sendoff Spring, and enter the Distortion World through the Turnback Cave.
Upon arriving, they are attacked by Giratina and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite a powerful combination attack they used, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a DragonBreath. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other legendary Pokémon in the area.
After Charon is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.
| ||
Magmortar is the only known Pokémon in Flint's possession. It was seen with Flint in the Fight Area along with Volkner and his Electivire. Later, it fought Giratina at the Distortion World only to be defeated. Later, it fought Giratina again, this time actually managing to defeat it.
Magmortar's only known move is Lava Plume. | ||
Debut | VS. Lopunny |
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Flint appears in Hareta's Heart's Desire as he found out about the tournament and wanted to compete in it. Rapidash was the first Pokémon sent out. It was up against Hareta's Empoleon. Despite the type-disadvantage, Rapidash was able to defeat Empoleon with a Sunny Day/SolarBeam combo. He recalls Rapidash and sends out Drifblim while Hareta sends out Regigigas and Misdreavus.
However, Hareta had no choice but to use Misdreavus as he was disallowed to use two Pokémon at once. Drifblim was able to defeat Misdreavus with Payback but due to it using Skill Swap beforehand, both Pokémon were out. Hareta than uses his Regigigas and Flint calls out Rapidash once again. Regigigas was able to defeat Rapidash with Mega Punch. Flint has one more Pokémon but resigns before even using it, giving Hareta the win.
Later, in Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon, he along with the Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.
| ||
Rapidash was the first Pokémon used in the battle against Hareta. It went up against his Empoleon where it was able to knock it out despite the type-disadvantage.
Rapidash's known moves are Agility, Sunny Day and SolarBeam. | ||
Debut | Hareta's Heart's Desire |
| ||
Drifblim was used to finish of Hareta's Misdreavus seeing that Hareta could not use both Misdreavus and Regigigas at the same time as it was against the rules to do so. However, after Drifblim went for an attack, it was stopped by Misdreavus's Skill Swap which resulted in both side's Pokémon being knocked out as Misdreavus used Drifblim's ability Aftermath from the effect of Skill Swap.
Drifblim's only known move is Payback, and its Ability is Aftermath. | ||
Debut | Hareta's Heart's Desire |
| ||
After both Drifblim and Rapidash got knocked out, Flint mentions that he has a Steelix, but does not want to send it out for the match as he knows that it wouldn't stand a chance against Hareta's Regigigas. | ||
Debut | Hareta's Heart's Desire |

- Although he specializes in Fire types, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only two of the five Pokémon he uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them and only four of these are actual attacking moves. Each of Flint's Pokémon knows at least one Fire-type move. In Pokémon Platinum, his entire team consists of his specialty type.
- With only two Pokémon of his type theme in Diamond and Pearl, he has the lowest number of Pokémon on his team that are of his specialty of all of the Elite Four members.
- Flint's Magmortar is the only Pokémon of a member of the Elite Four to use Seals in Pokémon Platinum. Incidentally, it is used in the Double Battle with Volkner, who uses his Electivire, the only Pokémon of a Gym Leader to have Seals.
- When talking to Volkner in the Villa, he reveals that the reason that Flint uses the Fire type is because of his name.
- Flint is the second Elite Four member other than the Champion to be seen outside of the Pokémon League in the same game as being Elite Four. The first is Lorelei of the Kanto Elite Four in FireRed and LeafGreen Versions.

San Antonio schools have brought recognition to the city through their stellar performance in the competition. Alamo Academies emerged as the champion of the 2012 CyberPatriot IV Open Division and currently 11 area schools have made it into the 2013 CyberPatriot V semi-finals, an extraordinary accomplishment. This round commenced January 11th and included the following area teams:
Chris Cook, San Antonio Cyber Action Team Volunteer, states, "DDI understands the multitude of persons involved in this level of success, including the students, coaches, school and community leaders and mentors, as well as critical family member support. To recognize the role that families play in CyberPatriot student achievement, DDI has established the CyberPatriot Family of the Year award."
The contest is open to all CyberPatriot team members in the San Antonio area and is intended to honor family members (parents, grandparents, etc.) or guardians whose involvement has inspired their student's participation in the CyberPatriot program. A $2,500 award will be allocated as follows to the winner:
DDI President & CEO, Larry Hurtado, adds, "We are excited to see the CyberPatriot participation and excellence from the San Antonio area teams. Through our mentorship program with area schools, we have observed how the integrated support from school, community and family are the foundation for success. The CyberPatriot Family of the Year award has been established to honor an often unsung hero, the family, and offers the opportunity to spotlight family members of a CyberPatriot student that can serve as an inspiration and model to the community."

The Ohio Supreme Court yesterday dismissed a complaint seeking to throw out last year's elections of Toledo City Councilmen Bob McCloskey and Betty Shultz.
David Schulz, who lost a bid for election to council in 2005, filed suit in February alleging that both candidates had served the maximum three four-year terms the city charter allows.
The court dismissed the case without comment by six of the seven justices. Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger of Toledo did not participate, a court spokesman said.
Mr. Schulz said he was disappointed by the court's decision, but said he would continue his efforts to change the city's charter to eliminate what he contends is a loophole.
Mrs. Shultz, who is Republican, and Mr. McCloskey, who is a Democrat, were first elected in 1993 to district council seats. But each switched from a district to an at-large seat during one of their terms - Mrs. Shultz in 1997 and Mr. McCloskey in January.
If Mrs. Shultz finishes her current term, she will have served 16 years.
Mr. McCloskey, who is facing bribery allegations in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, submitted his resignation yesterday, effective next Tuesday.
The city charter says a councilman can serve a maximum of three four-year terms. Former City Law Director Barb Herring ruled that the partial terms did not count as four-year terms.

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman's women's basketball team is looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday, but before the Paladins sit down for the annual feast they will entertain the Yale Bulldogs in a Wednesday afternoon contest in Timmons Arena. Tipoff is set for 5:00 p.m. on YP Court.
Furman (1-4) is looking to get back into the win column after dropping road contests to Southeastern Conference foes Arkansas and Georgia, and a 71-67 verdict at the hands of future Southern Conference foe Mercer on Sunday in Macon, Ga.,
Yale (3-3) will wrap up a four-game road swing on Wednesday against Furman. The Bulldogs fell to Miami (Fla.), 91-67, on Monday and to Fordham (80-52) last Friday evening after posting a 78-68 victory at Boston University on Nov. 19.
Wednesday's contest will be broadcast online by StretchAudio through Furman All-Access at www.furmanpaladins.com, with Bryant Lambert on the call. The game will also be video streamed (subscription) through Stretch Internet and live stats presented through StatBroadcast.com — all available through www.furmanpaladins.com
Fans can get in-game twitter updates through @FurmanWBB and @FurmanPaladins
The Paladins are paced in scoring by sophomore forward Holli Wilkins, who is coming off a career high 21-point performance against Mercer. Junior forward Brittany Hodges is scoring (8.8 ppg) and leads Furman in rebounding (5.8 rpg).
Junior guard Sarah Halejian tops Yale's scoring chart (13.5 ppg) and is also chipping in 3.7 assists per outing for the Bulldogs. Three players — guard Hayden Latham and forwards Meredith Boardman and Janna Graf — average 8.2 ppg apiece, and Boardman tops Yale in rebounding (8.0 rpg).
Furman claimed its only meeting with Yale in women's basketball, taking a 79-63 win over the Bulldogs in the consolation game of the Mr. Cookie Face Holiday Classic in Jersey City, N.J., during the 1996-97 season.
The Paladins will play host to Anderson this Saturday in a 2:00 p.m. game at Timmons.

McKinsey report on SwedenWhat are your thoughts? |
12.Jan.2013, 02:53 PM
Joined: 28.Jul.2011 |
Here is the summary of the above mentioned report:
Low public debt, a current account surplus and an economic growth rate that over the past 15-20 years has exceeded the growth rates of both the United States and the EU-15. The Swedish economy is currently held up as a role model internationally, not least in light of the current financial crisis in Europe. It is primarily the international sector1, and especially the manufacturing industry, that has been the main engine of growth in the Swedish economy and has helped the country outperform the EU-15 since the early 1990s. This performance has put Sweden in a strong economic position compared with many other countries. Yet, Sweden faces several challenges going forward. It is only the international sector (representing about one third of the overall economy) that has experienced an indisputably strong growth, significantly stronger than the average in the EU-15 during 1993- 2010. Growth in the Swedish local services sector was only in line with the EU-15, while the Swedish public sector experienced a negligible growth in its value added in the same period. This is unsatisfactory, especially as these sectors together account for about two thirds of the Swedish economy. There are also a number of concerns about Sweden's long-term growth outlook such as the increasing competition from emerging economies, the declining quality of the Swedish education system and an ageing population. In order for Sweden to be able to sustain and improve its economic growth in the coming decades, the country should strive to move from one to three strong engines of economic growth and also improve the economy's long-term competitiveness by further expanding the supply of skilled labor. To achieve this, Sweden would benefit greatly from bold measures in five areas: 1. Increase productivity significantly in the public sector. With an ambitious approach, there are good reasons to believe that productivity in the public sector could be raised by 25-30 per cent over the next ten years (while maintaining the same level of quality). Key elements include more ambitious targets, greater transparency on results, consolidation of Sweden's public administration structure (primarily the municipalities) and a national centre of excellence for public procurement. 2. Improve growth in the local services sector through a second wave of deregulation and regulatory reforms. Sweden used this tool successfully in the 1980s and 1990s, but there are still many areas that remain to be addressed. A good approach could be to systematically eliminate growth-inhibiting regulations industry by industry through a joint effort by politicians, employers and trade unions. 3. Sustain the high growth in the international sector through increased innovation productivity. Competition from companies in emerging markets is increasing rapidly, as is the pace of innovation globally. The number of engineers in the world, for instance, more than doubled from 1998 to 2008 and increased by a factor of four in China. Sweden should therefore ensure that it maximizes the return on its R&D investments by becoming a leader in innovation productivity in the same way as it has become a leader in production efficiency in many industries. Can Swedish business be a front runner in creating global innovation models in the same way as it was in globalizing its production and sales? 1 "The international sector" refers throughout the report to the sector of the economy that is exposed to international competition. Summary 10 4. Make Sweden a world leader in education. McKinsey's previous school reports have shown that the most important area to address if the trend of falling school results is to be reversed is to significantly raise the skills profile of teachers and school leaders, for example through teacher coaching programmes and by increasing the attractiveness of the profession. 5. Increase the share of the population in employment. Address the high rate of unemployment among young and foreign-born people, for instance by exploring a Swedish apprenticeship model, and by counteracting the effects of the ageing population, for example by following the Danish model of linking the retirement age to life expectancy. Sweden's stable fiscal position gives it a golden opportunity to build an even stronger foundation for robust future growth over the next few years while other countries face the task of addressing their acute financial problems. Sweden also has a culture of consensus and less political tensions than many other countries, which, if this tradition is maintained, should improve the prospects of finding pragmatic solutions. By taking these measures, Sweden will be in a good position to achieve equally strong or stronger growth in the future as in the past 15–20 years. These are the findings presented in this study of the Swedish economy by McKinsey & Company Sweden in collaboration with McKinsey Global Institute. This is the third time McKinsey & Company Sweden, together with McKinsey Global Institute, is conducting a comprehensive study of the Swedish economy. The first study was published in 1995 and the second in 2006. The aim is to contribute facts to the debate about Sweden's economic priorities and how best to achieve them. |

Who has paid for the report? The current government?
Other than that, I agree that the quality of the schools is one of the biggest long term challenges. |

According to their website:
The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. And: The partners of McKinsey fund MGI's research; it is not commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. |

Works of most consulting firms are based on empirical researches. However, most of their works lack on scientific qualities and proves. There are often no causal relationships between variables.
There is no wonder, because most of consultants don´t know how to research. If you want to learn how to research, then you should have completed a PhD. Be careful even if it is from McKinsey, because most consultants are put under pressure to get results as fast as they can. |

The partners of McKinsey fund MGI's research; it is not commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. One thing that You do need to remember is that whilst the report is not commissioned by government, they are actually the main Consulting Partner in certain projects. eg. McKinsey were the primary consulting company in the Migrationsverket project for Lean processes, and most likely involved in the same with Försäkringskassan, since it is the same General Director (he moved from MV to FK)...and other areas.

I think you have a problem or don´t know anything about PhD and business world. I don´t discuss. how the business world works. It could work in a wrong way and THAT`S THE WAY IT IS NOWADAYS. Such general reports are not made by partners, but analysts. Partners are just responsible for contracts and decisions. PhD in Economics at Harvard vs. Mckinsey employee?? Are you sure about that? Or your logic is Mckinsey => smart+ intelligent => always trustworthy?? Dream on. |

No it is more like McKinsey employees and their work products are highly sought after coveted and highly compansated because their intellectual products create efficiencies, cost savings and cost benefit analysis to bring in investment, new job creation and new industry, This is different from a tenured academic PhD that everyone grumbles about because they cannot get rid of their worthless butts. Just look at Paul Krugman, the Phd and Nobel Economics Award winner and how he is basically an unproductive laughingstock.

A nice try. I am not familiar or linked to Paul Krugman or his works, but he is a smart person when I met him. Because you don´t want to agree his opinion, doesn´t mean that he is useless. Don´t get me wrong. I work as consultant (Not Mckinsey), but there are lots of problems, which are not well known in public. We sometimes have lots of problems with our rotation, our strategy and if we don´t have much time, then the quality is not always the priority. They never worry about that, because they say that they are from McKinsey. Lots of smart and intelligent people also work at Goldman Sachs or other investment banks. Do you highly agree that some of their parts make job savings, efficiencies etc. possible?? |

Intelligent working, productive consultants can be found in many companies around the world and working independently without the backing of well known recognized consulting firms. |

It is easy to get a PhD, it is VERY hard to become a partner with McKinsey. And it is even harder to build and maintain the respect the business world has for McKinsey Partners. I assume you have no experience from the academic world, or have experiences that dates at least 30 years back. Academics today is a cut-throat environment and it is extremely difficult to 1. Be accepted and receive funding for a PhD. 2. Finish the PhD. 3. Acquire research funding and a tenured professorship. In fact, even to become an assistant professor (not tenured) you need jump between several 1-2 year post-doc positions at different universities, and each of those is often badly paid, require a very good resumé and require you to spit out highly ranked published research papers like a machine gun. So unless you absolutely love to do research, love competition and are willing to put in long hours of hard work for a meager salary, I would not recommend academics. I'm not saying that it is easy to become a partner at McKinsey, but it is certainly not easy in any way to advance to a tenured position in academics. Both involve extreme competition. |

Minnesota May Ask For No Child Left Behind Waivers
ST. PAUL (AP) – More Minnesota schools may get a pass on some mandates of the No Child Left Behind law.
U.S. Education Sec. Arne Duncan says he will give schools some relief from some federal requirements because he says Congress isn't moving fast enough on an overhaul of the law.
A spokeswoman for state Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius says Monday the commissioner approves of giving states more flexibility and would seek a waiver, if Gov. Mark Dayton agrees.
The request could lift test-score requirements on some schools.
The U.S. Education Department data shows it granted more than 400 waivers since 2009, six to Minnesota.
Duncan has predicted that 82 percent of U.S. schools could be labeled as failures next year. Minnesota is set to release its new report on failing schools in August.

Pranksters who dial 911 without a real emergency to report face stiffer penalties under a Minnesota law hitting the books this week.
The law effective Thursday targets those who report a fictitious emergency to 911 dispatchers with the intent of luring authorities somewhere. If the phony call results in a serious injury, it could mean felony charges.
Anyone who makes a 911 call if there's no emergency could be charged with a misdemeanor or a gross misdemeanor for repeat offenses. It covers phone calls and text messages.
State legislatures and city councils across the nation have started to crack down on the prank phone calls. The pranks are known in some circles as "swatting" calls because police SWAT teams are sometimes dispatched to deal with the situations described by callers.
