THURSDAY, Nov. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Specific DNA variations explain more than 10 percent of the inherited genetic risk for developing heart disease, a new study suggests.
Researchers discovered 20 previously unidentified genetic variations in more than 63,000 people with coronary artery disease, which causes more deaths worldwide than any other disease.
These variations were uncommon in a control group of more than 130,000 people without heart disease.
The newly identified mutations bring to 47 the total number of genetic variations that have so far been linked to an increased risk for developing heart disease, according to study co-leader Panos Deloukas, head of the Genetics of Complex Traits in Humans research group at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, in Cambridge, England.
One previous study estimated that 30 percent to 60 percent of heart disease cases might be attributable to genetic risk factors. This new study increases the number of genes likely involved in coronary artery disease.
The study was to be presented Thursday at the American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting in San Francisco.
"We no longer assume that coronary heart disease is triggered by just a handful of genes, each with a strong effect on a person's risk for the disease," Deloukas said in a society news release. "Our research supports the current assumption that heart disease risk is determined by a large group of genes, each with a modest effect on risk."
Deloukas said pinpointing the genetic variations involved in coronary artery disease may lead to improved treatments, and noted that many of the newly identified variations are in genes involved in the body's metabolism of fats as well as in inflammation.
The findings highlight the roles of high cholesterol levels and inflammation in coronary artery disease, Deloukas said.
Research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Weisberg's Gem Leads GW Baseball to 2-0 Victory Over Rhode Island
Sophomore Righty Allows Just Three Hits in Eight Shutout Innings
April 7, 2012
KINGSTON, R.I. - Sophomore Aaron Weisberg yielded just three base hits in eight shutout innings to lead the George Washington baseball team to a 2-0 victory over A-10 rival Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon at Bill Beck Field.
GW (12-18, 2-3 A-10) scored two runs for the second game in a row but Weisberg stymied the Rhode Island (15-14, 5-3) lineup to lead the Colonials to victory.
Weisberg scattered just three hits while fanning six batters in eight innings of shutout ball. He gave way to junior Kenny O'Brien, who picked up his fourth save of the season in the ninth inning.
The Colonials scored both of their runs in the top of the second inning, providing Weisberg all the run support he would need.
With one out, sophomore Owen Beightol reached on an error. Following a walk to sophomore Brookes Townsend, junior Tyler McCarthy roped a ground-rule double down the left field line to drive in Beightol and put the Colonials up 1-0.
After a walk to junior Ryan Hickey to load the bases, senior Matt Murakami worked a full-count walk to drive in a second run and extend the lead to 2-0.
Weisberg settled into a groove following the second inning, allowing no hits over the next three innings. Weisberg lowered his team-best earned-run average to 1.54.
Junior Justin Albright turned in his second multi-hit game in a row, going 2-for-4 at the plate to lead the Colonials' offense.
The win marked the second shutout of the season for GW following a 1-0 victory over Army on February 26.
The Colonials and Rams will meet in the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at Bill Beck Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Exasperating study of the lunatic impulses that drive war photographers to put themselves at risk.
Two conflict journos go to the front, but only one comes back in Slamdance jury prizewinner "Snow and Ashes," a well-lit, well-acted but otherwise exasperating study of the lunatic impulses that drive war photographers to put themselves at risk. While it's ironic that a film about photogs could be ruined by bad camerawork, first-time writer-director Charles-Olivier Michaud's decision to shoot everything handheld, employing guerrilla-style coverage and disorienting jump cuts whether characters are in peril or back home in Quebec, makes the otherwise intriguing concept frustrating to watch. Beyond Canada, this noble effort seems destined for an unmarked DVD grave.
Michaud toys with the idea of using a hackneyed amnesia plot to justify the film's odd flashback structure. Pic opens with war correspondent Blaise ("Entourage's" Rhys Coiro) recovering in a hospital bed after collapsing in the snow while escaping some unnamed Eastern European hot zone (clearly inspired by Chechnya). Blaise isn't characterized as an adrenaline junkie per se, but he clearly took the assignment against his better judgment, enlisting friend and photog David (David-Alexandre Coiteux, also a producer on the film) for the trip. Unlike Blaise, David seems to have his domestic life in good shape, and tagging along means leaving behind the woman he wants to marry (Lina Roessler). David doesn't make it home, and though we understand this from the beginning, it takes an awful lot of melancholy memories and other artsy affectations for the movie to arrive at the anticlimactic moment of his death. Blaise clearly carries the tragedy on his conscience, the unbearable weight of which presumably explains the film's mopey tone and skittish structure (if not the bad poetry that bookends the picture). Collaborating with more experienced cinematographer Jean-Francois Lord, Michaud adopts a visual approach intended to mirror Blaise's mental state. During hospital scenes, though the shots are not subjective, Lord constantly futzes with the focus, giving everything an amateur "Diving Bell and the Butterfly"-like effect that draws too much attention to the camera tricks, at the expense of the emotion. At first, the other time periods seem a jumble, as Blaise struggles with his memories of the front — a mix of visions, including the face of a young refugee he fell in love with there (played by the Bond girl-worthy Marina Eva), convincingly grim re-creations of the wartime atrocities (typically viewed through a camera viewfinder) and vague flashes of stumbling through the snow to escape an unseen enemy. As the story unfolds and certain visions recur, these scenes begin to make sense. Through well-designed interiors and clever use of Quebec locations, the environments look convincing. Still, the more time we spend in them, the more mundane it all seems, to the point that, with the exception of the occasional off-screen explosion, the danger never feels real. Footage, shot primarily on Red cameras, borrows the overused too-blue treatment of contempo thrillers for an appropriately gritty texture.Snow & Ashes

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - starting a 55gal. have lots a questions. plants fish etc.
starting a 55gal. have lots a questions. plants fish etc. i have at the moment a 29 gal tank im still in the process of cleaning the 55gal tank it was a steal off of craigslist. the tank hoods lighting ornaments filter heater and stand for 100!!!! the tank and stand just need a good cleaning. i really want this tank to be as close to perfect as possible. so let me start with the filter. they guy told me its a whisper something or another i have no knowledge of this filter and the filters that im positive do not go with it that he gave me. so my fisrt question is does anyone have any a clue as to how i can find out exactly what type of filter and cartidges i need? any info here is great. next is i would really love to have a couple live plants in this tank but have never had 1 at all i started to read the stickies in the plant section and plan to head back there once done here but im not sure what type of plants are good with my fish i have 3 dwarf frogs 2 ghost catfish 2 khuli loaches 1 iridescent shark 1 loricara whiptail catfish 1 bala shark 1 blood parrot fish 1 cory catfish and 1 neon tetra i plan to add a couple more tetras once the new tank is up and going good. so what would be my best option here? and what type of gravel should i use? i have gravel and would really like to add sum sand in with it if that would work.also would i need different lighting at different times or anything like that? also im in need of a new air filter so my question here is should i get 1 specifically for a 55 gal or could i get one a lil bigger maybe for a 100 gal? i do plan to have at least 2 different things hooed up too this if that makes a difference. how about a few ghost shrimp????? is that possible at all in this tank with my other fish??? or would paulie my parrot fish eat them? now a question about decorations. i found these really neat rubber type jelly fish at a local pet shop.in the center the have a pocket of air, however i cannot keep mine floating they stay up for awhile maybe 2-3 weeks then i find them laying at the bottom of the tank and have to fish them out is there anything i can do to get them to stay floating or did i just waste $$ also i seen in another post about a calculator??? what is this and would it be of good use too me? so far this is all i can think of at the moment but if theres anything anybody else would like to throw in if u think it would help thats great. thanks |
Welcome tot he forum! If you want to go planted I'd suggest to exchange the HOB for a canister, as the HOB with create too much surface disturbance for plants. You could get a Eheim 2213 on there that run's you about $60-65 if bought online. You could go with a wide verity of plants there really anything like Amazon Swords, Anubias, Crypts, Vallis.....the list is endless maybe its easier if you look through here and see what plants you like Aquarium Plants Pond Plants From Sweet Aquatics If you wanna see some planted tanks for ideas here are all my tanks listed with pictures maybe that helps you narrow down plants too http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/p...hp?userid=1029 Using fine gravel will be fine or if you like sand; set it up with poolsand or playsand from your homestore. Very inexpensive and works great for your fish there and the plants. No Air stone; you do not wanna add a airstone to a planted tank because it will drive out your co2 which the plants need to thrive. Shrimp are awesome; I had written up a stick in our shrimp section here for their tank set ups; but i'd not recommend them with the fish you have there as the'd regard them as food. What do you wanna calculate? |
yea im really thinking about a new filter either way since im not so sure of the 1 i have. if i have something i like to know as much as possible about it. its great to know i can have some plants!!!! im still not to positive on some favorites ive heard of some plants that the leaves turn red on cant remember what it was called but maybe some of those or i spotted a java fern on the on link you gave me i really like it too so maybe some of those im not to picky just so the fish are happy. also i was wondering which fish specifically that would arm the shrimp im really considering setting up my new tank and also the old one for my mom and could maybe talk her into talking the ones that would hurt them. i had ghost shrimp before and LOVED them there so fascinating. i did buy a bubble wall so i am assuming that would need to be taken back if i do decide to go planted correct? |
Welcome to TFK! Always good to see people getting good tank deals on craigslist. Let me comment on your stocking: 3 dwarf frogs - These guys are notorious for being sort of "bumbling" when it comes to eating, so in a crowded community tank you might have trouble getting them enough food to eat. I would recommend doing targeted feedings (i.e. putting the food right in front of them) to make sure they get enough. 2 ghost catfish - These guys are schooling fish and notoriously nervous/skittish. I would get more of them, say six or so total. They'd feel much more comfortable that way. 2 khuli loaches - These guys are also schoolers, so you should have at least six of them. 1 iridescent shark - These fish aren't really a fit for any aquarium (except maybe very large public aquarium tanks). They get to four feet in length (the length of the entire 55g tank), are schooling fish, will eat smaller fish and because of their size and notoriously nervous behavior are known to be "tank busters." I would return this fish as soon as possible, or you may start noticing your smaller fish going missing. 1 loricara whiptail catfish - Not much to say here. These are usually peaceful community residents. 1 bala shark - These guys get over a foot in length, are active swimmers and need to be in schools. In other words, they can only be kept in very large tanks (hundreds of gallons at least). I would return this guy as well. 1 blood parrot fish - This is a cichlid and, while blood parrots are generally pretty docile as far as cichlids go, they can get pretty unruly and will eat smaller fish. I would be afraid that it would eat your smaller fish like the neons and loaches. It may also be a little to intimidating for the glass cats. I'd say he's a risky fish to keep in this community. 1 cory catfish and 1 neon tetra - Both of these are peaceful community fish but need to be in groups, again six of each should be good. Since you've got the sensitive bottom dwellers (the loaches and cories specifically) I think you should go with a softer substrate like very smooth gravel or, ideally, sand, as the loaches like to burrow. I think the ghost shrimp would likely get eaten by the parrot (and definitely by the bala shark and iridescent shark). If you removed some of these larger fish from the tank, ghost shrimp would probably do alright in there. So, with three frogs, six ghost cats, six kuhlis, the whiptail, six neons and six cories you'd probably have room to replace some of the problem fish with other, more peaceful "centerpiece" type fish. Maybe a smaller gourami like a honey gourami and a dwarf cichlid? |
thank you for the info on my fish i have been looking up info on all of them but there never really is a guide as to what can go with what. i did however ask the lady at the pet store if the blood parrot would go good with my other fish and told her what i had and she said it was fine. i doubt very much that i will be buying anything from there anymore. i do plan to buy more neons and such as soon as i get the 55gal completely setup. my shark i plan to keep him in the 29gal with maybe 1 other fish (not sure what yet) until he gets a lil bigger then moving on to a bigger tank for him also! hes my favorite!!!! the parrot fish will be going to my mom in her own tank as well. and the bala i will return if i cant find him another home. I do plan to put sank in the new tank! and just a bit of gravel but i plan to make sure none of it is sharp.thank you so much for this info!!!! |
If you want a good & reliable filter for yrs to come I'd suggest a Eheim; I use the Model 2213 for my 55 set up's and they're just superst queit well built last forever & a day unless you break it and you can always find parts for them even after 10-15yrs. Then just go with the plants that "look" good to you; I love sweetaquatics they're quality is great; I don't buy plants anywhere else any more. But yes once you add plants you'd have to take that air stone out as it will drive out the co2 needed for plants to thrive. You already got a bunch good info on the fish there - As for the store I'd be VERY careful on their advises and rather read up by yourself or ask here - They're Sales people and that's that - Not proper fishkeepers ;-) so whatever they can sell you they WILL. You can see about trading some fish off at the store or sell them yourself; post them on aquabid.com etc |
It's amazing what pet store owners tell people. Anything to make a buck seems the way of the world now. I guess a lot of them don't care so long as they move product. And it makes it easy for these greedy pigs when someone comes in and doesn't really know better yet. |

LOS ANGELES, CA — CeeLo Green, a singer who is a coach on the television singing competition "The Voice," has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of giving the drug Ecstasy to a woman who also accused him of sexually assaulting her last year, according to prosecutors.
But the 38-year-old Atlanta singer, who rose to worldwide fame with the hit songs "Forget You" and "Crazy," will not face sexual assault charges after prosecutors concluded there wasn't enough evidence to take that accusation to court, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in a statement released Monday.
Green, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, appeared in court Monday to be arraigned on the sole charge of furnishing a controlled substance. The charge carries a potential sentence of up to four years in prison.
After Green pleaded not guilty, the judge accepted prosecutors' recommendation to set his bond at $30,000 and ordered him to return to court on November 20.
"Are you relieved?" a reporter asked him before his arraignment. The singer-songwriter nodded yes.
"Are you scared?" the reporter asked. "No," Green replied.
According to prosecutors, Green slipped the drug to a 33-year-old woman while they were having dinner on July 13 or July 14, 2012. They later went back to her hotel, prosecutors said.
The woman accused Green of sexually assaulting her at the Luxe Hotel after their dinner together, CNN affiliate KTLA reported, citing a Los Angeles Police Department statement.
The Los Angeles Times reported the woman said she woke up naked in bed with Green in her room.
But in their statement Monday, prosecutors said they had declined to file a charge of rape of an intoxicated person, citing insufficient evidence.
Green "will responsibly address" the drug charge in court and is pleased prosecutors decided not to proceed with the sex assault charge, his attorney, Blair Berk, said in a statement issued Monday.
"Mr. Green encouraged a full and complete investigation of those claims, and he was confident once conducted, he would be cleared of having any wrongful intentand it would be established that any relations were consensual," Berk said. "CeeLo had faith that if the true facts were known, the district attorney would reject those charges."
She said the decision by prosecutors showed that "the evidence did not support the falseand unfounded claims made over a year ago."
NBC declined to comment on Green's future with the show, a singing competition that involves teams of aspiring artists mentored by one of four coaches, one of whom is Green. It is currently airing taped episodes, the latest of which aired Monday night.
The show, now in its fifth season, has been among NBC's most popular programs. Aside from football programming, the show was NBC's best-rated show in 2012, according to Nielsen. It ranked No. 6, with more than 14 million viewers for its October 3 episode, the ratings company said.
Green began his music career as a member of the Southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob. He later became part of the duo Gnarls Barkley, whose 2006 song "Crazy" became a worldwide hit. Four years later, he recorded "Forget You," which achieved similar success.
His work has netted him five Grammys and numerous other awards.

I started trying out my camera's remote control as promised; but you can probably spot it in all the pics!

Rubi shoes

I've got a daily style post coming up soon, but in the meantime, have a listen to the above by Shlohmo.
Ode to Winter
With a touch of plum
This is an outfit I'd really love to own, especially the boots. They're about $300 a pair so maybe, one day, when I'm not trying to save.
Awesome news; Dylana from
Color Me Nana
has a sister, and her blog is just as much fun to follow!
While Dylana is whimsical and very Free People hippie-inspired, Natalie of
Natalie Off Duty
has more of a vintage rocker edge (boasting some very enviable band tees), but in any case, they do share clothes and both sisters have incredible taste and talent for putting outfits together.
Now my Splendour trip is only 10 days away and I care for nothing except clothes, photography, and organising my funds. Work? Ehhhhhhhh. Still trying to keep up with doing the newspaper by myself (long story) but it's hard to keep concentration when I'm this excited! Also quite unwell/tired from all the stress.
Holiday come at me.
Taking selfies is hard work
I started this blog with the intent of sharing my (sometimes carelessly thrown together) daily style.
I'll admit I have been incredibly slack on this front. I watch fashion and lifestyle bloggers post pretty pictures daily and I think,
How on earth did you find time between eating and sleeping and working to do that?
But I've realised: there is time in any day to be photographed and chuck it up on the computer. It just takes massive dedication to take those photos on your own. Trying to get a full-body shot is a nightmare! Perching my camera on top of cars, asking my 13-year-old brother to help (who, by the way, currently has a broken arm), holding the camera as far as I can from my face without dislocating my own ligaments...
I did exactly all of that for you today.
But tomorrow, TOMORRROW, I am going to do something different.
I am going to unwrap that nifty little remote control I ordered on eBay last year, and brush the dust off my tripod.
Yeah I know, how genius am I to actually use my resources?
Look forward to it.

How splendid; a new blog to stalk
Oh my gosh,
if I was ever to steal someone's wardrobe
, Dylana of
Colour Me Nana
would be my target for sure. Especially because she has so many enviable things listed as 'vintage'. (Wow, really? I can't buy that in a shop? :( )
My favourite thing to look at is all her awesome jackets and the effortless way she layers them over jeans or a dress. This is perfect inspiration for Splendour in the Grass.

Some or all of these packages should be available for installation from your distribution. For ease of installation and upgrading it is a good idea to install distribution packages if a recent enough version is provided. Software required to build KDE4 includes:
QtDBus and KDE are known to work with D-Bus versions 0.62, as well as 0.92 and upwards. Versions 0.60 and 0.61 may work too but are not tested. Versions 0.90 and 0.91 are known not to work. We recommend using post-1.0 release versions (at least 0.94), so consider upgrading if you haven't done so.
Get dbus from your distribution, current stable release is version 1.2. Additionally you will also need dbus-glib. Be sure to also install the corresponding lib- and -devel packages.
If you need to build it manually, latest release is link title http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.2.24.tar.gz
You need to have CMake >=2.6.4 installed. You should be able to directly use the binary packages available on the CMake site. There are also distribution specific packages available.
Next we need to get Qt4. KDE 4.3 builds against Qt 4.5, however KDE trunk requires Qt 4.6. If you plan to build trunk on an ongoing basis, it is probably easier to track kde-qt, especially as KDE trunk may occasionally require a pre-release version of Qt.
Most up-to-date distributions will have packages of sufficiently new Qt to build the latest KDE stable branch. Some distributions may even package kde-qt; if so, using it is a viable option. If the distribution you use does not provide packages of the necessary version of Qt, it will be necessary to use the recipe below. More information can be found in the sections of the tutorial specific to each distribution.
Building qt4.4 with the -no-qt3support option will cause things to break.
Please read the README.kde-qt file for the necessary Qt configure options as well as currently known issues.
cs # Note: cs is not a typo. See .bashrc git clone git://gitorious.org/+kde-developers/qt/kde-qt.git qt-kde cd qt-kde ./configure [copy/paste configure line from README.kde-qt replacing <installdir> with $QTDIR] make -j2 # use 'make -j(X+1)' where X is your number of processors, to compile faster make install
Note that you need to install Qt and Phonon from Qt and then later to install Phonon KDE from git at the same location. This will ensure you get sounds in Qt-based applications as well as in KDE ones.
If ./configure produces errors about missing headers, run the following command before trying again: QTDIR=`pwd` bin/syncqt
Make sure which qmake delivers something out of $QTDIR, e.g.:
We switch back to the kde-devel user's home directory (line 1) and download the source code, KDE branch, from gitorious using git (line 2). After changing into the resulting qt-kde directory (line 3), we then set up the build using the configure script (line 4). The various command line options used are explained in the qt-kde/README.kde-qt file. Finally, we build the minimal requirements for KDE (line 6) and install (line 9) Qt. If install dir is the same as the current dir (line 7), then we just free some space (line 8) instead. If you want all the example and demo applications, you can either build them individually or simply do a make from the qt-kde directory.
Note that the installation does not require root as it installs Qt locally into $QTDIR. Installation is necessary if $QTDIR differs from the source directory. In the end, we make sure the cmake macro to find the Qt directory will work. It must be able to find qmake in $QTDIR.
If you get "error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory", install the devel package of xorg (the actual name may vary between operating systems, for example it is xorg-dev on Ubuntu based systems such as Kubuntu).
If you get an error in the configure step about missing defines, check the value of $QMAKESPEC. Some distributions set this to point directly to the system-installed Qt. If unset QMAKESPEC solves the problem, you probably want to add it to the ~/.bashrc script.
If you get an error ".pch/debug-shared/QtCore", this is because Qt-4.3 enables precompiled headers if your gcc supports it, but for some reason it doesn't work for you. If you use distcc, configure qt with -no-pch. If you use icecream, update to the latest icecream from svn trunk.
Try running any Qt program, like assistant. Note: You may need to run xhost +local:kde-devel as your regular kde3 user to run this application. If it crashes in QSpanData::adjustSpanMethods, then your problem is the oxygen style. Try removing lib/kde4/plugins/styles/kstyle-oxygen.so and lib/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so if they exist in the KDE install prefix.
It's nice to have the Qt documentation locally for nice integration with KDevelop, and doing this is really quite easy (also shown in README.kde-qt):
cd $KDE_SRC/qt-kde make docs ./config.status make install
Note that it is necessary to do this only once, even if you rebuild Qt later.
Tip |
You can use qdbusviewer to see if you have org.freedesktop.hal. If not, you might need a newer version of hal. If you have org.freedesktop.hal, you probably don't need to, and don't want to, roll your own HAL. |
If your system requires you to build a newer version of HAL, there's a decent chance you'll need to build other stuff as well, some of which may not be straight forward. This, however, should only be required for older distros.
There are several libraries that KDE applications rely on in the kdesupport module. This includes Strigi and Soprano for file metadata and search, QImageBlitz for image manipulation needed in kdebase, eigen for visual effects in applications such as Kalzium, taglib for music players and qca for some cryptographic needs.
Strigi itself has a few dependencies as well: you will need the libraries and headers for libz, libbz2, openssl (libcrypto or libssl), libclucene (>=0.9.16a but watch out: version 0.9.17 does not work), and either libxml2 or libexpat.
Phonon is not in kdesupport anymore but in a git repository.
There is a new dependency: DBusMenu.
Please remember that if you use openSUSE, you can install the needed packages from the KDE:KDE4 buildservice repository and do not have to bother with fiddling the details below. Skip to the kdelibs section.
cs # 'cs' is a bash function, click here to learn more svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/ cd kdesupport cmakekde
We change to the base source directory (line 1). We download the sources in kdesupport using subversion (line 2), go into the new ~/kde/src/kdesupport directory (line 3), and commence the build (line 4). This will leave us in the kdesupport build directory after the build is completed.
If you get
cmakekde: command not found
then you have to go manually into the kdesupport directory in ~ and execute the command cmakekde. if this still doesn't work, then something is wrong with your bashrc.
If you get
CMake Error: This project requires some variables to be set, and cmake can not find them. Please set the following variables: LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
you should install the development package for libxml2.
If you get
CMake Error: Could NOT find REDLAND
then you need librdf from the Redland. If your distribution does not provide the librdf package, you can download the source there: http://download.librdf.org/source/ and build it. (Gentoo users: The ebuild for librdf is named dev-libs/redland)
If you get
Fetching external item into 'kdesupport/admin' Error validating server certificate for 'https://...'
If you get
FILE cannot create directory: /usr/lib[64]/qt4/plugins/crypto. Maybe need administrative privileges. make: *** [install] Error 255
take a second look in the .bashrc file described above, are paths correct? ($QTDIR and $PATH are used to get the QT installation path) Alternatively, you may see this error if you decided to use a distribution installed version of qt4 and skipped the Qt install above. Either install qt-kde as describe above, or "sudo make install". If you use "sudo make install", make sure that you change the ownership back to your user for some of the ~/kde subdirectories that were effected by using sudo (ie. "sudo chown -R kde-devel:kde-devel ~/kde").
If you get a message related to
target libQtTest.so not found
you may need to recompile qt-kde. This time you should take out
-nomake demos -nomake examples
from the configure command, so that Qt generates library QtTest.
If you get
CMake Error: Qt qmake not found!
1) uncomment Qt section in .bashrc script (QTDIR, QT_PLUGINS_DIR, PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable settings). 2) source ~/.bashrc 3) cd && cd qt-kde 4) make confclean 5) repeat steps for installing Qt (from ./configure line). 6) retry building kdesupport
If you get
"CMake Error: Could NOT find BZip2"
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
urpmi libbzip2_1-devel
If you get
message that MySql support cannot be enabled
you need to install corresponding devel package. (libmysqlclient-devel for SuSe 11.1)
Phonon is not in kdesupport anymore but in a git repository. You need to build it as Phonon from Qt is not enough for KDE sound to work.
cs # 'cs' is a bash function, click here to learn more git clone git://gitorious.org/phonon/phonon.git phonon cd phonon mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$QTDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull \-DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=TRUE make make install
Note that you need to install this Phonon in the same location than Phonon from Qt i.e. in $QTDIR.
If you get an error like
designer: symbol lookup error: /path/to/kde/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_xine.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon12PulseSupport11getInstanceEv
while running Qt Designer you need to:
rm $QTDIR/lib/libphonon.so.4
Since the 26th April 2010, DBusMenu is a new dependency for kdelibs. You can either get it from http://people.canonical.com/~agateau/dbusmenu/index.html as a tarball (latest is libdbusmenu-qt-0.3.3.tar.bz2) or from its it repository
cs # 'cs' is a bash function, click here to learn more git clone git://gitorious.org/dbusmenu/dbusmenu-qt.git dbusmenu cd dbusmenu mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull \-DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=TRUE make make install
You need json to build the tests.
If your version is not correct, you will lose the context menu for the systray icons.
Once all requirements have been installed it is time to install [[../#kdelibs|kdelibs]]

Tyro helmer-scribe Justin Schwarz's "The Discoverers" belongs to that spate of recent movies ("The Descendants," "We Bought a Zoo") that effect familial reconciliation under Daddy through death and tribulation. Making its protagonist (Griffin Dunne) a man whose future apparently passed him by, Schwarz's script plunges him back into his annual childhood trauma, a period re-enactment of the Lewis & Clark expedition, so that he may emerge reborn. Schwarz lacks the writing chops to adequately embed the character's predictable learning curve into a richer narrative fabric, but Dunne's perf is pitch-perfect. This competent seriocomic item could see limited theatrical play.
A history professor whose great but thoroughly unrealized potential has landed him a teaching gig at an unaccredited college, Lewis Birch (Dunne) sets off for a conference to present a paper on his soon-to-be-published, 6,000-page tome on Merriweather Clark's slave, York. He must first detour to Chicago to pick up his precocious 15-year-old vegan daughter, Zoe (Madeleine Martin), and monosyllabic older son, Jack (Devon Graye), for a custodial weekend. His jaunt is further derailed by news of his own mother's illness; when he arrives at his parents' Idaho home, he discovers his mother dead and his father, Stanley (Stuart Margolin), virtually catatonic. Still, the unstable Stanley revives and disappears to join the yearly historical reconstruction; a doctor strongly advises Lewis to accompany his father on the trek. Soon Lewis and his two kids — an unhappy trio garbed in appropriate homespun attire, with their cell phones and other post-19th-century accoutrements confiscated — are hot on Stanley's trail. Crazy Grandpa has become completely absorbed in his role as a particularly fanatical, bloodthirsty Capt. Clark. As Stanley grows increasingly delusional and tyrannical, the natural surroundings (convincing but narrowly hemmed-in by d.p. Christopher Blauvelt's framing) encourage opposite feelings in the rest of the family. Teenage Jack falls for shapely blonde Abigail (Dreama Walker). Lewis' romantic impulses, meanwhile, are aroused by the attentions of sweet, lovely Nell (Cara Buono), pioneer dispenser of hot food and comfort. But the film reserves its deepest bonding for Lewis and Zoe. Dad discovers a kindred soul, his daughter's witty cynicism mirroring his own, while her quiet understanding saves him from a complete meltdown. Schwarz's script hints at potentially intriguing parallels between Lewis Birch's magnum opus, about a slave forced to join the grueling historical expedition, and the situation in which he now finds himself. It also links Merriweather Lewis' suicide with the protag's possible reaction to his dead-end career. But family reconciliation trumps all discomfiting ambiguities as it turns out that Father, in his infinite confusion, still knows best.The Discoverers

My bad. No I just meant tie the laces that come with the shoes tight. I used some of TWs terminology to explain that and confused not only you but me (on a re-read) too! And worry not, the lace holes on the B7 and 8 are bulletproof unlike the 4.3s. I pull them all tight apart from the top inner ankle hole as that can be a bit stiff and rub if pulled tight. Hope that explains things better bud.
I liked the 7's better than my 8's. Too much movement of my foot inside the shoe unless I continually tighten the laces throughout a playing session.
Thanks for the explanation! You know what? I think that while I get better support with the Barricades (V in my case), I might tire more and feel my toes (after 3-4 hours of play on clay), then in the CB 4.3s...I'll try the later again today.
To add some to my last post: I added a cushioned insert which helps Next pair will be a size 10... instead of my usual 10.5
Here they are: http://www.t e n n i snuts.com/shop/tennis/shoes-socks/adidas/adidas-mens-tennis-shoes/adidas-mens-adipower-barricade-1101968.html
I just recently switched from the vapor 9s to the Barricade 8's. I went with the same size and the vapors were a tad longer but not by much. I noticed the Barricade 8's are a just little shorter in length compared to the 7's and the asics gel res 5's to be longest in the same size. I've used them twice so far and never experienced any toe jamming issues. The only shoes where I experienced toe jamming was with the CC Feather II's.
It's hard to buy the CB's when the lacing system breaks after a few weeks on court. I can't believe Nike hasn't remedied that yet! That lacing issue made me switch to the barricades and I'm not going back.
I actually loved last years Warriors. I loved the color scheme and the 'etching' on the shoes. I wear them a fair bit off the courts and always receive compliments and inquiries on them. This years Warrior however... Really ugly based on those pictures.
This past weekend I tried on the new 8's and overall I was impressed with the upgrade over the 7's. Definitely won't need that much breaking time. Gonna cop for sure, but I'm waiting for other colorways, tho. For now I went with Big Shot II, which was even more impressive on foot.
^^Been trying to break mine in for two weeks now and they are still stiff. I've been working in them (stringing racquets and walking around my store), taking to the grocery store, doing drills in them, etc and they are still stiff (after two weeks). I will keep at it but I am going to order some GR5s because I prefer out of the box comfort.
Where are you finding them stiff? As with the 7, I only experienced stiffness at the inner-ankle collars. Lacing solves this. But yes, GR5s feel like slippers.
Myself, I'm still split and as I'm about to try GR5's, still use CB's, but trying not to lace them as tight (also considering that if I play more then one hour, that might become even more painfull, due to some swelling).. Basically I'm still sold on the softness. Barricades 8 would be next to try (although I still have to wear out a pair of V, bought a couple of years ago).
Experiencing toe jamming with B8, never such issue with B5 or 7 worn in the past... I wear 2 socks but still got a black nail, first in probably 4-5 years. Only about 10 hrs of playing, and shoe string cut at top eyehole.... Could be due to the quality of string, eyehole and/ or the fact I had to lace it tighter to keep my feet from moving in the shoe. So unsure if B8 is an upgrade over B7 yet... but I do like lighter feel with the same solid lateral stability. Will see how it wears after broken in more.
The sliding has stopped and they are now pretty comfortable. IMO, there is a break-in period with these. When I go for my 6-month replacements, I'll request a half-size smaller. The soles on these seem to wear better than the B7's
the top eyelet is digging into my ankle. any remedy for this? does it get better after the shoe is broken in? thanks
Yup, there is. First, is it the medial side? I'm assuming it is and the fix is to pull the laces tight all the way up the shoe except the final eyelet on the medial side. Don't pull this tight (you can the top eyelet on the lateral side) and then tie the laces. You should be able to put your fingers between the medial side and bend it back. You'll have no more issues yet your foot will still be secured. I still have the scar from 18 months back from my B7s (had the same ankle collar as the 8s) which is from before I knew about this. I wore Mueller athletic tape over the cut while it healed, it's great stuff and may be worth trying while the ankle collar softens up a little (it will only ever soften slightly, so make sure to follow the above lacing advice). Hope it makes sense and works for you.
it is the medial side. i dont quite follow the lacing instructions. are you saying to not use the top medial eyelet but lace everything else tight including the top lateral eyelet? thanks
Really like these shoes, been wearing them for a couple months now and they feel really solid and durable. They are a little heavy but it doesn't bother me at all as I switched over to these from multiple pairs of propulse 4's. I'm wearing the black color way atm and they look pretty good too.
Thought it would be. No, you lace all eyelets, but when you tighten the laces and get to the top pair of eyelets, only pull the lateral side lace really tight, leave some give on the medial side.... and then lace them up. No worries and hope this makes more sense bud as they're a very good shoe once you get around this issue.
thanks for the explanation, but the lacing didnt work for me. i give up on these shoe. they are going up for sale. not recommended for people with narrow ankles.
I've never experienced any eyelit or toe jamming problems as others have mentioned. The only issue I have is there kind of heavy, I feel a half step slower in them compared to what I previous wore in the Vapor 9's which were more speed oriented and lower to the ground. However the v9s gave me left heel pain due to the heel being higher off the ground so that's main reason why I switched. I tried other shoes in the Asics Gel Res. 5's but I couldn't get the sizing right.
Since it looks like the 8 is all mesh; how do you think it reacts when it rains and you are walking on the sidewalker or roadway. You think the rain will come through you top and sides of the new B8 shoe? Just hate to have wet feet!
It'll be no worse than 90% of tennis shoes which have mesh. You may want to design your own Gore-Tex tennis shoes- they have them for running but I find them too stuffy. And talking of wet feet, I'll take mesh any day as it'll dry faster and breathe better.
Got done talking with an Adidas online chat and he said that it a tightly mesh and should keep the rain out! I try to buy it for $170 customized to my liking but the customizing program did not do the all black color that I wanted. The midsole had three choices and you had to pick from orange, white or green. I decided to wait till you can really get it customized the way you want it to be. The guy said he was sorry!
These things do not fit man nor beast. Very wide but short. Size 11 for me is wide enough but toe touches the end. 11.5 is just way too big. And I can tell already the top eyelet on the inside will dig into my ankle, as others have mentioned. BAD shoes. Why don't they just make the same fit as the Barricade 4 and Barricade 5???
hmmm...maybe it you (and a few others). I've had these shoes for almost 3 months and definitely no other Barricades compare comfort, stability, weight, durability-wise. Definitely B7 and B8 are two of my favorite Barricades and I had them all minus the B3
i recently got the new B 8s claycourt (black). they are kind of different in terms of design and upper material compared to the hard court version. unfortunately i experienced the same problems: the shoe is wider, there is some sliding and toe jamming. not really happy with the new version:???:
Just gota new pair of the new B8's in black (hardcourt) and won a tough first match with them. Definitely very stable and change of direction with footwork was solid. I did have some slight toe jamming on the left foot on volleys but I re-laced them to be a tad tighter and it went away.
8's for me took forever to break in. Had 2 blisters on my right ankle from lacing the last 2 holes. Cushioning was non existent. Major major disappointment
last baricades I liked were the 5's how do these compare? I hated the 6 and 7. The pair of six I bought lasted forever, but the killed my feet.
The 8 does not compare to the 5 in any way. The 5 was the last good fitting Barricade. The 8's fit horrible.
I thought you loved the 7s, HCB? The B7 is still my favorite, 5 and 8 equal to me. Didn't like the 6.
B8 eating shoelaces... 3rd shoelaces in 8 weeks... I broke the original within 2 weeks. Now keeping spares in my bag. This never happened to me with B5 or B7, very annoying!
Does anybody know what the colorways for this years Barricades will be? I need a new pair, but don't like the colorways out at the moment for the 8s.
Don't know the colorways for the rest of the year, but what is there not to like about the colorways out right now? There are 2 versions of white, a black one, a blue one, and a pretty sick looking shanghai one. They all look pretty awesome IMO. Just curious what you don't like about them.
Didn't like these shoes at all. Is there a way to ask for Barricade 7's to be sent back as my warranty pair?
They look pretty nice, a lot of white though. Simple yet good. When you say "special Asian edition," do you mean they're only going to be released in Asia? Or are they going to be released around the time of the Asian swing tournaments like Beijing, Shanghai ect.?
I think they are only release in Asia, since they are already on sale on Chinese sites right now, and i dont see them on TW.
Not sure why but Barricade 7s (and other shoes) hurt my right foot. It must be a weird fit issue. Vapor 9s are the only ones that are perfectly comfortable.

CDLV Dining Room Photo
I'm still painstakingly and arduously working on the gilded chairs for the dining room. They've turned into something that I wish I had never done ... as the Martha Stewart Living metallic glaze takes 4-years to dry, and once you put it on it's too late to take it off. Anyway - it's coming together, slowly.
Let's see ... details, right?
The new table is 42" round, and a huge (and welcomed) change to my dining room. It's draped with a full length chocolate brown burlap tablecloth with jute fringe from Ballard Designs, and then topped with a Ralph Lauren ecru linen hemstitch square cloth that desperately needs to be ironed - I know!
The basket is from our recent Texas trip. I paid $4.99 for it, and then painted it a thousand shades of gray before settling on this one. Our collection of ironstone holds soft pink roses, green apples (yes - I decided to use them!) and silverware.
In the background, atop our old sideboard, the basket from the old bar area with all of the stuff you've already seen is in front of a wonderful oil painting from a street artist in Russia, and flanked by two giant alter sticks in antique brass ($7.99 each in Austin, Texas) another ivy in a patinated terracotta atop a silver plate, and hugged by an antique Chinese happiness jar with a wooden lid.
I suspect that I'll be done with this room by Friday, so I'll have lots of pictures of this room for you then!! Happy Tuesday!

Washington Street Named One Of Top 10 Great Streets For 2010 By American Planning Association
The American Planning Association (APA) today announced the designation of Washington Street in Hoboken, NJ as one of 10 Great Streets for 2010 under the organization's Great Places in America program. APA Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planners and planning play in creating communities of lasting value.
APA singled out Washington Street for its affordable housing options and the city's diligent efforts to preserve the street's historic character through design guidelines and adaptive reuse. Additionally, the street stands out for its unique sense of place, including views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.
"Washington Street is Hoboken's historic hub of community activity," said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. "Unique, independently-owned shops, outdoor cafés, world-class restaurants, and street fairs attract young professionals, families with strollers, joggers, and bicyclists who create a vibrant urban mix of activity and street life."
"Although Hoboken has transitioned over the centuries from an industrial region into a bustling residential community, Washington Street has thrived by adapting to the community's evolving needs while preserving its historic character," the Mayor continued. "The street brings pedestrians directly to retail and commercial businesses and a mix of transportation options and is a great model for similar neighborhoods and communities."
Through Great Places in America, APA recognizes unique and authentic characteristics found in three essential components of all communities – streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces. APA Great Places offer better choices for where and how people work and live every day and are defined by many things including planning efforts, architectural styles, accessibility, and community involvement.
"We're very excited today to name Washington Street as one of this year's Great Streets," said APA Chief Executive Officer Paul Farmer, FAICP. "The city is to be commended for its planning and foresight to keep Washington Street's historic character intact and to require affordable housing so residents aren't displaced because of increased property value," he added.
Since APA began Great Places in America in 2007, 40 Neighborhoods, 40 Streets and 30 Public Spaces have been designated in 47 states and the District of Columbia.
Once a prosperous rail and water transportation center, Hoboken tumbled into economic decline with the containerization of cargo in the 1970s. The city's warehouses and lack of open space could not handle the giant containers and hard times ensued.
Washington Street, Hoboken's main commercial corridor, was on the verge of complete dereliction in the 1980s. A new generation of residents seeking lower housing costs compared to those in Manhattan brought a new sense of liveliness to the street.
In 1981, Washington Street was designated a historic district by the city. Many original buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places shortly thereafter, including Yellow Flats – home of Hetty Green, the first woman to have a substantial influence on Wall Street.
The street's historic character is now preserved through design guidelines for any new construction or building alterations. Adding to the historic ambiance and pedestrian experience are 19th-century style lampposts, street clocks and benches.
To help long-time residents from being priced out of their homes, in 1988 Hoboken required affordable housing in the area including 140 units of low- to middle-income housing along Washington Street, with more incorporated just blocks away.
Today Washington Street bustles with activity comparable at times to avenues in Manhattan. The street hosts various festivals each year, including the Spring and Fall Arts and Music Festivals.
The nine other APA 2010 Great Streets are: Bank Street in Wallace, ID; Wydown Boulevard in Clayton, MO; Broadway Street in Red Lodge, MT; 5th Avenue in San Diego, CA; Middle Street in New Bern, NC; Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, KS; Washington Street in Middleburg, VA; Spring Street in Eureka Springs, AR; and Liberty Street in Franklin, PA.
For more information about these streets, as well as lists of the 2010 APA 10 Great Neighborhoods and 10 Great Public Spaces, and designations between 2007 and 2009, visit www.planning.org/greatplaces.
This year's Great Places in America will be celebrated as part of APA's National Community Planning Month in October 2010; for more about the special month, visit www.planning.org/ncpm.

Go for the gold! Or bronze. This summer, be a bronzed goddess with gold tone and metallic makeup.
From a sheer champagne to an opaque copper shimmer, gold and bronze tones make an impact and look extremely luxe, while still being versatile enough to work for day or night and complement any ensemble.
Close to a skin-tone shade, gold and bronze tones add a glow to your face without seeming over the top. A light sweep of shimmer across the lids or lips is a low key summer look for hanging poolside or by the beach, or make sure you steal the light at a fancy summer soiree with bronzed cheeks or a bronze and gold ombre eyeshadow look!
There's so many ways and places to give you makeup routine the Midas Touch! Check out the slideshow for some of our fave picks!

The prospect of a keynote discussion at the DICE Summit between Gabe Newell and J.J. Abrams seemed intriguing enough. After all, the two are some of the biggest names in their respective fields, Newell being the co-founder of Valve and Abrams being one of the most prolific producers and directors in Hollywood over the past decade. The conversation the two had on stage today was interesting enough, but the most noteworthy bit came in the form of a revelation that the two sides could collaborate on a game, as well as a movie based on Portal or Half-Life.
Newell explained that the talk was a rehash of conversations the two have had previously, Gamasutra reports. It centered around the strengths and weaknesses of storytelling in film and games. Because of the linear nature of film and TV, Abrams said that "games in many cases are far better than movies in telling story," although he did later note the problem with game characters who are "empty vessels." Newell, meanwhile, took issue with the lack of agency in movies; he showed a clip of the Abrams-produced film Cloverfield and quipped about how he'd like to be able to put down the camera "and f***ing run." Abrams countered by pointing to the problems that can arise with telling a story when players are free to run around, doing whatever they want.

Hello there Serebii! I know Double Illusion really does NOT seem viable since it forces using Zorua in UU, which benefits you not at all anyway.... Or does it? Enterthe biggest disaster since the beginning of the CAP projectBW CAP4, Aurumoth the Gold Standard Pokemon! The CAP tier probably needs some explaining, but I'll stick that in a Spoiler tag just in case you do actually know it.
Spoiler:- The CAPmons:
And with that out of the way, on to the team.
Zoroark @ Life Orb
Trait: Illusion
Timid Nature
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
Zoroark is so much fun. And with Aurumoth on board, the fun is doubled. Is that Heatran Zoroark? Or maybe it's Aurumoth? Or possibly it really IS a Heatran? Better hope you guess right, a mistake could easily be fatal... Nasty Plot Zoroark also gets solid neutral coverage and just really hurts things once it gets a boost off. Dark Pulse gets STAB, pumping it up to match Focus Miss. Flamethrower roasts the Steels Haxorus has to be careful of, and a Zoroark in disguise as Haxy can really do that well. Hello Ferrothorn! Guess what? No Outrage here! Focus Miss handles Dark-types that want to be annoying and also deals nicely with Ice and Rock-types.
Aurumoth @ Life Orb
Trait: Illusion
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spe
- Dragon Dance
- Megahorn
- Zen Headbutt
- Overheat
My second Illusioner and the physical one of the pair. Aurumoth also has a really useful 4x Fighting resistance, which Zoroark greatly appreciates. I'm not really sure why they decided Aurumoth should get Dragon Dance, but it has it and it needs it for the physical set. Aurumoth isn't the fastest thing in the world. But this can come in disguised as Haxorus and scare the flub outta just about anything that isn't Steel, which then gets roasted by Overheat. I'm using that over CC because it hits Ferrothorn, Skarmory and Kitsunoh really hard and because Megahorn handles Darks just fine. I miss out on Heatran though. This disguised as Haxorus can usually pick up a quick KO on their Steel, which is nice and once it's gone Haxorus can rampage with Outrage. Nothing enjoys a neutral hit off Haxy's Outrage. But back to Aurumoth. Megahorn hammers opposing Dark and Psychic-types, and Zen Headbutt is for the Fighting-types Zoroark hates. Overheat can also deal with the Bugs, but I prefer to let Heatran do that. The Spe EVs let it outrun what it needs to at +1, maximized Atk is pretty obvious and I dumped the rest into HP for overall bulk.
Heatran @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Flame Charge
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power Ice
I love this Heatran. Spe is its only meh stat, and one Flame Charge fixes that right up. Fire Blast gets STAB and roasts the Bug-types that threaten both Zoroark and Aurumoth. Earth Power is primarily for opposing Heatran, but it does a real number on a good amount of CAP as well as quite a bit of OU. Its main targets are Heatran and Mollux though. Hidden Power Ice is for opposing Dragons and Gliscor. Heatran also makes a nice answer to opposing Aurumoth that don't carry Hydro Pump/Close Combat. Physical Overheat sets like the one I run are pretty much completely walled.
Haxorus @ Choice Band
Trait: Mold Breaker
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spe
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
- Dragon Claw
Classic Choice Band Haxorus. 648 Atk is TERRIFYING. STAB Outrage is even scarier. Haxorus and Aurumoth go together like peanut butter and marshmallow cream (Fluffernutters FTW!!). Aurumoth disguised as DD Haxorus lures in those Steels that would stop my Haxorus's sweep, and once that Steel is gone, Haxorus can usually clean up. Sometimes they have more than 1 Steel, and Aurumoth can only get 1, which is where the other moves come in. Earthquake and Brick Break hit various opposing Steels, with the exception of Skarmory. Dragon Claw is here for when I need Dragon without being locked in, but I never actually used it in testing.
Arghonaut @ Leftovers
Trait: Unaware
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpA)
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
- Recover
- Waterfall
- Low Kick
- Roar
Arghonaut is a great physical wall. The combination of Unaware and Recover served Quagsire well, and Arghonaut does it even better. Waterfall gets STAB and actually hurts things surprisingly badly even with such small Atk investment. Low Kick is here to hurt heavier opponents and stuff that resists Waterfall, and Roar is for getting rid of boosts if needed and just removing things I can't deal with, like Mollux.
Xatu @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs: 248 HP / 204 SpD / 56 Spe
- Roost
- Heat Wave
- Thunder Wave
- U-Turn
Xatu is here for team support. It's also the only SpD I have on this entire team, which has been slightly problematic but not as much as I had expected. I run no hazards of my own, but Xatu can, with good prediction, both deny my opponent theirs and give me some to work with. Roost prolongs Xatu's life and this reliable recovery is one advantage over Espeon. Heat Wave is for beating Forretress and Ferrothorn, especially Ferrothorn. Thunder Wave is for making Haxorus's job easier, and U-Turn gets me out. Xatu makes a nice Illusion bluff too, since no one wants to leave their spiker in against a Magic Bouncer. It gives me a free turn to boost and those boosts can easily be turned into a sweep. Xatu absolutely blew me away with its performance on this team. I've used it before and I know it's great if it's used right, but I was a bit concerned about it in the CAP metagame. I didn't need to worry though - it did great. And there's nothing Fidgit can do to it either.

For Sale:
FS - Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 ECC88 from 1960 with Large O Getter!
Will Ship To: CONUS
Up for sale is a matched pair of Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 ECC88 preamp tubes from 1960 with Large O Getter!
Both with matching production code, made in Holland.
All tubes tested at NOS level when I purchased them last month. Their emissions measured at 120, 120 & 120, 120 on a calibrated B&K 707 tube tester. Both tubes also tested negative for shorts or gas. This set was pulled from a precision test instrument that had been sitting idle since 1960 so they are in excellent condition. I put on no more than 1 hour total on this set. They sound very sweet and silky smooth in my audio chain (macbook air > bifrost > lyr > he-500/he-6).
I will cover standard shipping and paypal fees.
Thanks, ckc
