Pronounced pulse on only one side of neck04/24/2009 |
For several months I periodically experience a pulsing in my right carotid that is so pronounced I can see the beating and hear it in my right ear. As I said, it is periodic, but I can make it happen by bending my neck to the right. I`m puzzled because it is episodic and isolated to one side. My father, each of my paternal uncles, and one cousin -- all male -- have had aneurysms. I am a healthy 62 year old woman who exercises regularly. I have a total cholesterol level of about 216, but my ratio is good. My blood pressure is normal. I don`t know whether to be concerned about this or to ignore it.
Hello, I would suggest you ask your primary care physician to order a carotid duplex study. There they can give a diameter measurement to determine whether there is an aneurysm present. Good luck!

the plain of Aram, or the plain of the highlands, (Gen. 25:20; 28:2, 5-7; 31:18, etc.), commonly regarded as the district of Mesopotamia (q.v.) lying around Haran.
They were all born in padan-aram; but Jacob returned to Canaan before his father's death.
That is the famine-struck padan-aram turned into the rich pasture fields of Goshen.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of padan-aram, and blessed him.
That stony cell of his was to him like the rock of padan-aram to the wandering Patriarch.

Colliding Vehicles Land At Duane Reade
A left turn signal would have prevented a crash at the Duane Reade intersection, according to the driver that was hospitalized after the Monday morning accident.
Tommy Iandolo told The Wave he was traveling west on Beach Channel Drive in his work truck when a car traveling east, turned in front of him, at Beach 116 Street. Both had green lights, but the car trying to slip into the Duane Reade parking lot didn't make it across. With thousands of pounds of equipment in the truck, and only about two car-lengths between the vehicles, Iandolo said the accident was unavoidable.
Both vehicles received extensive damage and wound up on the sidewalk at the mouth of the parking lot, causing minor damage to the concrete curbing near the pharmacy.
The Wave first reported in May that residents and officials were concerned about the traffic condition created by the construction of a new Duane Reade store.
Two months later we reported that the pharmacy had followed recommendations from the city's Department of Transportation (DOT), adding an angled crosswalk, vehicle stop lines, a painted turn arrow, two pedestrian ramps and signage.
The new signs stop traffic exiting the parking lot, and keep them from turning left or going straight. But a left turn signal, for the left eastbound lane of Beach Channel Drive was not part of the remedy.
Although Iandolo was take to the hospital by ambulance following the accident, and was later released.

I got a top of the line CD player and DAC and headphone amplifier right now. I don't have a top of the line full sized open headphone now.
How does the HD-800 compare to the PS-1000? Which is more accurate and neutral?
I have to think about either one pretty hard before I make a decision. I don't live near an audio dealer so I can audition them before getting either one.
Exactly...I wouldn't consider any current production Grado as "accurate" or "neutral". Pretty far from it. Actually my favourite current production Grado is the RS-1i and closely followed by the PS500. That said, in terms of accuracy and neutrality, the HD800s are much better than the PS1000s.

Guidelines for Workplace Friendships
"Workplace friendships can be a double-edged sword," says Irene Levine, a professor of psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine and author of TheFriendshipBlog.com. "Whether they are good or bad depends on the individuals and their roles. While relationships with colleagues can enhance creativity and job satisfaction, they should be approached with some caution. Some friendships fall apart and can make it very difficult to face your ex-friend each time you pass in the hall."
Who you associate yourself with in the workplace will also affect how your superiors and co-workers perceive you, says Helen Cooke, owner of Cooke Consulting, a human resources and organizational development firm. "We're all judged by the company we keep for better or worse," Cooke says.
Yet despite any potential pitfalls, it is possible to reap the benefits of having friends at work without wreaking havoc on your career. Here's how to set boundaries for your workplace friendships:
1. Keep your guard up, at least in the beginning
Though you may form an instant bond with a co-worker, resist the urge to share too much personal information right off the bat. "Approach a new friendship on the job slowly, being cautious to not get too involved too soon," Levine says. "You want to give yourself sufficient time to build trust and really get to know your co-worker before you spill intimate details of your life. So, for example, you might want to start out sharing coffee breaks or lunches before you spend a long weekend prowling bars together. Or you may want to talk about sports and politics before you talk about your personal life."
Levine also cautions workers who are new to a job: "This is a time when you need to keep up your guard up a little bit, because you may be getting too cozy with the office buffoon," she says. "While you should be friendly, keep your relationships on a superficial level until you get to know the workplace and the cast of characters."
2. Keep the in-office socializing to a minimum
It's fine for the two of you to take lunch breaks together, sit together in a meeting, or go for mid-afternoon coffee once in a while, but don't spend an hour a day sitting on each other's desks and rehashing the weekend gossip.
"If friends get too involved in workplace dramas -- for example, an office crush, a mean boss, ganging up on a co-worker -- this can undermine productivity," says Susan Shapiro Barash, author of "Toxic Friends: The Antidote for Women Stuck in Complicated Friendships."
Indeed, says career and etiquette expert Sandra Lamb. "Office friendships are a balancing act. To properly maintain them, it's best to keep them fairly low-profile, and agree with your work friend to do most of your get-togethers outside the work environment," she says. "That prevents the accusation that you're involved in too much socializing at work--a reflection on your productivity. My advice is to keep [the friendship] primarily out of the office."
3. Be careful with reporting relationships
If you count your boss as one of your best friends, take note: "When there's a reporting relationship between two individuals, it's particularly important to build in agreed-upon boundaries so that others don't feel there's any unfairness or preferential treatment," says Helen Cooke, owner of Cooke Consulting, a human resources and organizational development firm.
Even if your boss was the best man at your wedding, try not to flaunt your close relationship in the office. When it comes time for recognition or a promotion of your own, you don't want your co-workers thinking it was all due to your friendship with the higher-ups.
Additionally, says Cooke, if you and a work friend started out as peers and one of you gets promoted, new boundaries must be set that reflect the reporting relationship. "For example," she says "You and I were peers on a team of five and known to be 'tight.' Now you've been promoted. While you can still be yourself with me and we can talk about our hobbies and weekends, you need to not complain to me about another member of the team -- even if that IS how you would have behaved in the past. While we're all entitled to having a trusted colleague with whom we can vent, if that trusted colleague is one of your direct reports that is unfair and dysfunctional."
The bottom line, Levine says, is to "never forget that you're primary focus has to be on your work, which means you may need to set boundaries with your co-workers about how much time you can spend schmoozing. Just as importantly," she says, "You need to respect the boundaries drawn by your co-workers, even if they aren't explicit. For example, if you see someone turning to their computer or looking at her watch while you are talking about your date last night, they may be signaling that they really want to get back to work and you've outworn your welcome."

When to Train Your Traps
When to Train Your Traps
One of the biggest bodybuilding conundrums has always been whether to train traps with back or shoulders. Heres when to train them and how! By Jimmy Peña, MS, CSCS Chances are your weekly split is pretty much set. You may prefer training your biceps with your triceps and, for many bodybuilders, hitting legs alone works out best because theyre such a large muscle group. But if theres one bodypart that seems to be missing a home, its your traps. Sometimes you tag them onto the tail end of your back workout and other times you include them with your delt session. But what is the best place for traps? Before proceeding, lets not ignore the importance of some basic anatomy and physiology. In the case of traps training, knowledge is power. First, the upper traps which make up the most mass of the overall diamond-shaped muscle primarily lift and rotate your shoulder blades upward, as when shrugging your shoulders. The middle traps pull the shoulder blades together as is the case during wide-grip seated rows. And finally, the lower traps rotate the shoulder blades downward like during Y-raises or front raises where you take the weights overhead. Perhaps because you see the traps mainly from the front, you may have mistakenly thought the traps merely sat atop the shoulders and werent aware that they actually travel down the back. But thats why theres a reasonable and somewhat justifiable debate on the subject of whether traps should be trained with back or shoulders. The Upper Room When it comes to your upper traps, the most visible portion, we recommend training them with shoulders because this area is already involved in most shoulder exercises, including overhead presses and lateral raises. After a grueling delt routine, your upper traps are warmed up and full of water, nutrients and blood, making them fertile ground for growth. Therefore, hitting upper traps with heavy shrugs on shoulder day is arguably your wisest choice. Many bodybuilders simply think that since you have pulling straps on, you might as well do your shrugs at the end of a big back workout, but the truth is that back workouts dont sufficiently hit those upper traps fibers. On the contrary, bent-over rows, high rows, and T-bar rows all favor the middle traps and do little to warm up the upper portion. Finding Middle Ground Since only the middle traps are involved in back exercises, they should be trained in the same session along with the lats and rhomboids. Bodybuilders for the most part fail to realize just how much of an impact the middle traps musculature can make to the overall look of the back, and were not just talking from behind! In fact, the middle traps play a key role in how thick you appear from the side. So, along with standard back moves, there are some exercises you may not be doing thatll isolate and innervate those middle traps fibers to an even greater degree. For the short list, see Best Moves for Traps from Top to Bottom. How Low Do You Go? Probably the most neglected and forgotten portion of the large trapezius muscle is the lower trap area. This section is best targeted only by some of the most rare exercises, such as the Y-raise where you lay facedown on an incline bench and raise the dumbbells up in front of you as high as possible. The lower traps are also targeted very well by front raises in which you take the dumbbell or barbell all the way up overhead. Did you ever seen Arnold perform dumbbell front raises? Remember how high hed take them? Well, many bodybuilders mistakenly fail to take front raises above parallel, which shortchanges lower traps development. By taking your front raises overhead, youre not only fully engaging the front delts, but that last 90 degrees of the arc also requires serious activation of the lower traps. In summary, to say its best to isolate your traps with either back or shoulders is probably a mistake. Instead, we suggest you do both. Do shrugs for the upper traps region on shoulder day, and then on back day hit your middle and lower traps together since theyll be ready and warm from the back routine they accompany. Best Moves For Traps From Top To Bottom 1) Upper: Best done on shoulder day >> Shrug (barbell, dumbbell) For this trap move, lie faceup on an incline bench with your chest supported. Your head and neck are just above the bench and your eyes are fixed on the floor behind the bench. Avoid the tendency to crane your neck in an effort to look upward. With a dumbbell in each hand and hanging directly below you, simply shrug your shoulders upward, pinching your shoulder blades together at the top and repeat. 2) Middle: Best done on back day >> Wide-grip seated rows, bent-over rows, prone incline dumbbell shrug1 and straight-arm seated row The straight-arm seated row is done just like a seated cable row except that you dont bend your elbows. Keep your arms as straight as possible, remembering that the range of motion is very small, only a few inches like other shrug moves. Pull your shoulders back and pinch the middle of your back on each rep. 3) Lower: Best done on back day >> Front-overhead dumbbell raise, prone dumbbell (or barbell) Y-raise Using the same stance you use during the prone incline dumbbell shrug, raise the dumbbells up and out as high as possible. Try to get your arms to at least parallel to the floor on each rep. It doesnt take a lot of weight to stimulate those lower traps and because the front delts are also highly at work, a light-moderate weight will suffice, especially if you try and hold the peak contraction for a count or two. |
very interesting! i knew that when hitting back you incorporate traps into the movements but i never thought to isolate the middle and lower traps with these movements. great read. thanks
Glad you like the info. I think that there are a lot of variations out there. In my opinion, I keep doing what works for me. I integrate other techniques to help my purpose and I DO BELIEVE there are no training routines better than others...
Just different people with difference specifications and needs |
Thats odd . . .
I have quite developed Upper Traps . .compared to the rest of my physique. Even My Physio reinforced this when I had a session recently for back muscle injury. But I do no shrugs etc etc All I do in the Gym that would work Traps are Heavy Deadlifts, As Heavy as I can Bent over Barbell rows ( With scapular retraction at the outset of the movement. ) and Standing Barbell Press, ( Are they used on Bench Press?? ) According to that article I shouldn't have these muscles up the side of my neck. |
Deadlift is one of easiest exercise however is one of best and most complete exercise that you can do to stay fit. A lot of people consider the Deadlift the king of the exercise instead of the squat. Big debate out there...
by the way...deadlift win power-lifting competitions... |
This is really good food for thought. I will incorporate this into my routine and see how it does. I like experimenting and see what helps me grow.
Good read!
How many of us do power shrugs and call it a day? Interesting stuff, upper traps sure make sense on shoulder day now.

Ammonium salts could provide a viable way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via carbon mineralization
Removing excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere may be essential to curb severe climate change. Possible, but expensive, methods include burying the gas underground between rock layers or 'scrubbing' the CO2 in power station cooling towers before it is released. James Highfield at A*STAR's Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences, together with co-workers at the National Junior College of Singapore and Åbo Akademi University in Finland, has now described a cheaper and more permanent solution that would prevent the CO2 escaping back into the atmosphere.
Their work focused on using carbon mineralization, a process that involves a reaction between CO2 and minerals, such as magnesium silicates, to form solid carbonates. Mineralization occurs naturally between the atmosphere and rocks, and the carbonates remain geologically stable for millions of years. Crucially, plentiful raw materials would be available to conduct this type of CO2 removal on a vast scale.
Natural carbon mineralization is very slow, so scientists are working to accelerate the process in an energy-efficient and carbon-neutral way. Using ammonium salts and magnesium-silicate-rich serpentine rocks, Highfield and co-workers induced rapid carbon mineralization. They also found that milling the solids could convert serpentine directly into stable carbonate.
To accelerate the extraction of magnesium (as soluble sulfate) from serpentine, the researchers used ammonium sulfate. This reaction generates by-products such as iron oxide that may be useful for the steel industry. They trapped the leftover ammonia in water, and recycled this by-product in an aqueous wash with the magnesium solution to produce a mineral form of magnesium hydroxide called brucite. Finally, the researchers carbonated the brucite in a pressurized reactor. The heat generated by this exothermic process was recycled to help power the initial magnesium extraction.
A key aim throughout the processing was to recycle as much ammonium sulfate as possible. The final products, magnesites (magnesium carbonates), could also be useful. "Magnesites are commodities in their own right as smoke- and fire-retardants, and have potential for heavy-metal ion sequestration," the team notes.
Highfield and co-workers discovered that the yield of recycled ammonium sulfate drops considerably at temperatures of 400-450 °C, although reactions at these temperatures produce the most brucite. They suggest that this may be rectified by either increasing the humidity during the process or performing the reaction at a lower temperature to extract an alternative mineral to brucite.
"By virtue of their rich chemistry with magnesium, ammonium salts are likely to become ubiquitous in the field of CO2 mineralization," the team says.

The Little Diplomat
As a ten-year-old boy, the author had a role to play in bringing Douglas MacArthur's vision of democracy to a shattered Japan
December 1995 | Volume 46, Issue 8
But not once do I recall directly telling Yoshi to do anything. I was taught that whatever I might need from him must first be put as a request not to my mother but to Horiko, who would determine whether Yoshi should assist me. In fact so much did he and I work together as companions and not at all in any master-servant context that the memory of the sole occasion of my becoming short with him—a bit of childhood truculence involving a drawing exercise that annoyed me—embarrasses me to this day.
Protocol at home helped prepare me for official duties of the occupation, in which I was often involved in an ex officio emissarial capacity because of my father's unusual position and the way occupation business was done. MacArthur presided over the total task of rebuilding Japan in his position as Supreme Commander, Allied Powers (SCAP—as much the man as the office). Beneath him, or it, the U.S. 8th Army provided security and certain logistical support, while another army, of American and other foreign advisers and contractors working with the Japanese, reconstructed Japan physically, politically, and, to the extent it became Americanized, socially.
As chief procurement officer (later comptroller) of the 8th Army, my father, far more than most other Americans, had to cross boundaries. It was his job to negotiate with Japanese for provisions and facilities, and as with so much else, business matters were conducted according to Japanese tradition, which meant first getting to know one another on a familial scale.
So it followed that my mother and I often accompanied my father on his business trips, for which I was excused from school. Many of these were to Kyōto, some three hundred miles west, where my father had established a friendship and working relationship with a Japanese nobleman, Count Hirohashi.
Getting to Kyōto was no casual undertaking. It meant an overnight trip aboard the private railway car. Often the three of us were alone on this car, but sometimes another American quartermaster officer and his family, including a boy my age, accompanied us. The car featured a private room for everyone and a lavish living-dining area at its rear. My mother recalls that the car had three servants, including a cook, steward, and general maid. Most of the time it was hitched onto the rear of regularly scheduled passenger trains, but without access from our car to the others.
We would leave Yokohama in the early evening, in time for a leisurely dinner aboard. The night's sleep was disturbed by the train lurching to a halt in the darkness, to slowly negotiate track work. Rebuilding went on around the clock; I remember waking up and raising the window shade to look out at hordes of Japanese workers illuminated by trackside floodlights. We would get to Kyōto sometime the next morning.
I well remember Count Hirohashi's house in Kyōto, a large yet light and airy affair set amid dense evergreen trees, with an exquisite private garden outside my room. On this occasion and others when we visited Japanese families, we lived on their terms (albeit at an exalted level), including sleeping on tatami mats and trying to negotiate Japanese toilets.
My duties? Other than generally to behave myself, to show utmost respect for our hosts and their home. It helped that they had a son, although he was a teenager. I recall being entranced by the garden, but the other boy would get bored with me and soon enough leave me to my own devices.
Mealtime, here and on other occasions when we stayed in Japanese homes, involved a delicate exercise in face-saving. This is because local fruits and vegetables were not then generally safe for Americans to eat, for the reason that the Japanese still largely used human excrement to fertilize their farms and gardens. Anyone familiar with the term honey buckets knows what I mean; it referred to the large tubs of human waste Japanese farmers would bear on their shoulders. On warm spring days in this humid land, the fertilizer's perfume could overwhelm that of the blossoms in our own yard (where, by the way, we raised many of our own vegetables).
In any event, meals in Japanese homes began with our sitting cross-legged on tatami mats around the family dining table. A maid would bring in a large tray of hors d'oeuvres, including raw fruits and vegetables—and a box of Ritz crackers. (Clearly Nabisco was an early postwar exporter to Japan.)
The hostess would decorate our plates with samples of the fresh produce (we assumed it would not do much harm in small amounts)—and a generous handful or two of the crackers. I ate a lot of Ritz crackers in those days. The main course itself was thoroughly cooked, which served to kill most bacteria, although I do recall some occasions of food poisoning.

Back in my growing up years it was known as Decoration Day. The last Monday in May was set aside originally to honor the Civil War dead from the Union army. Later it was amended to honor the dead from any war and I think it included those who fought for the South in the Civil War. They, you know, were Americans also. Somewhere in there they changed the name of the day to Memorial Day but maintained the last Monday of May as the legal holiday to honor the war dead. In most of the major cities in the country it was a big thing. There were parades and there were ceremonies, usually at some grave site, where wreaths were laid, taps were played and there was a gun salute. San Antonio, where I grew up, was one of these cities. Being an army town it staged a big parade that featured army instruments of warfare, tanks and wheeled artillery, and other things of that nature. It also showcased the musical side of the military, those big brass bands that could beat out Souza with the best. There was also a generous array of uniformed fighting men from past wars. I recall in one of those first parades seeing veterans of the Civil War, not many, it is true, but a handful or so, hanging on to the bitter end. We bring this up at this time because Bonita, for many years, has observed Memorial Day with a bit more than a passing nod. Due to the joint efforts of two important entities in the community, Memorial Day is properly observed. Some years ago Branch 61 of the Fleet Reserve Association, based in Chula Vista, joined with Glen Abbey, the large and sprawling cemetery in Bonita and initiated the Memorial Day ceremony that has become a welcome staple in the community. Ronda Thompson, a representative from the cemetery supplied me with much information about this community activity. The ceremony will commence at 11 a.m. at the cemetery in the vicinity of the Chapel of the Roses. Thompson tells me that the service will bring community leaders and veterans organizations together to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this country. The service will begin with the presentation of colors and will feature the playing of the National Anthem and Taps as well as a rifle salute and a fly-over. The guest speaker for the ceremony is an active duty U.S. Navy medical officer, Commander Daniel Gramins. Commander Gramins was born in Illinois and educated at Georgetown University in Washington where he graduated in 1989. He received his medical training at the same institution and earned his degree and commission 1993. He received much training in other facets of medicine, notably cardiology, and had various duty stations both with the Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps. He is the only surgeon in the Navy who has achieved board certification in both thoracic and vascular surgery. He has numerous military decorations that include the Meritorious Service Medal. Doing much of the legwork for this event is the Fleet Reserve. Headed by past president Gus Hermes, the unit will be responsible for the setting up and the smooth running of the events. The Chula Vista branch was instituted in 1947 with 145 charter members. The branch presently has more than 1,000 members. The branch, like many others, participates in various community projects, both patriotic and social. They conduct their business and social affairs from their location, a storefront on Third Avenue that they purchased in 1965. The Memorial Day event is their principal project. We have attended this Memorial Day event in previous years. It is a moving and well orchestrated ceremony. The general public is invited. Those attending are asked to come well before the eleven o'clock starting time to assure seating. The community owes much to Glen Abbey and the Fleet Reserve.

Shadow on bone of x-ray?12/10/2008 |
I had a root canal on my lower left molar about 6 years ago. Apparently it was a pretty deep root canal. I just had some xrays done for a routine exam and they noticed a shadow on the bone right under the root canal. The dentist said he would send it to the endodontist and get back to me as he wasn`t sure what it was. Didn`t sound too concerned but I`m wondering if it could possibly be scar tissue or if you`ve ever seen something like that??thanks!
I wouldn't worry; it sounds like you are doing what you should (having an evaluation done by an endodontist). Usually when someone refers to a "shadow" in the bone they are describing an area that is darker than the surrounding areas (decreased radiodensity) on the radiograph.This could be any number of things from normal anatomy to something related to your root canal healing (which can include scar tissue).
This is a common issue that endodontists see on a daily basis, so your appointment should help clear things up.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- CSX Corporation recently presented its Industrial Development Partnershipping Award to Jerry Hayes, Executive Director of the Defiance County (Ohio) Economic Development Office. The award is in recognition of Hayes' impact on local economic development and specifically the effort to bring the Consolidated Grain & Barge's new $20 million grain elevator to the region.
CSX's Partnershipping Award is presented to individuals whose efforts have been instrumental in the creation of a new industrial development project on CSX and who exhibit high levels of collaboration and professionalism. Clark Robertson, CSX's assistant vice president-regional development, said Hayes' "dedication, expertise and persistence were instrumental to the success of the Consolidated Grain & Barge development. He played a key role in the site search, as well as securing road improvements and other state and local incentives needed to green light this project."
This new $20 million grain elevator opened in July, creating 15 new jobs for the area, and is expected to ship or receive more than 4,000 carloads of outbound grain annually as well as potential for inbound fertilizer products.
"Jerry and the rest of the Defiance County Economic Development team are well deserving of this award and have more broadly helped to make Defiance an outstanding place to do business," Robertson said.

Form, Fire, Clay, Paint Clay Vessels
9:00am, The Art Center
Sponsored by Chuck and Patti Shear Terry
Shepherd, The Art Center's artist in residence, will be exhibiting a variety of clay work in what has become an annual tradition. Terry has also invited local artist, Heather Patterson, to show a selection of her paintings as his guest artist. Terry will be showing clay works which include stoneware, porcelain, raku, salt vapor and saggar fired work. This year Terry will have several examples of his black stoneware with lively crawl glaze designs in the form of wall platters and for the first time a few "clay paintings" fired in salt vapor process with flashing slips. Terry continues to explore the serendipitous qualities of fire and vapor induced embellishments on clay in the spirit of "An uncertain End with Confident Means". Terry has been developing and teaching The Art Center's ceramic curriculum since 1984; on staff as Ceramics Resident Artist since 1993. Previously he operated Shepherd Clay Studio in El Jebel, Colorado from 1972 to 1983. His work is in many private and public collections. In September Terry was awarded 1st place and 2nd place in the professional pottery category at the 51st annual Glenwood Springs Fall Art exhibit. Heather Patterson is a Professor of Art, Painting, at Colorado Mesa University. She received a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Painting from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work has been included in many solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Patterson's work is included in various private and public collections. Currently, she is represented by Stephanie Breitbard Fine Arts in San Francisco, CA, Fresh Paint Art Advisors in Culver City, CA, Susan Street Gallery in Solana Beach, CA, and Tercera Gallery in Palo Alto, CA. Heather PattersonHeather Patterson's work intuitively gathers imagery from both the natural and built environments. She recreates geographic patterns and forms, layering them to invent new series of systemic landscapes. This morphing of forms combines imagery such as computer generated weather charts, topographic maps, pixelated natural landscapes, cellular structures, networking graphs, and blueprints of structural elements. Patterson layers a variety of media through drawing, painting, and collaging to create multi-sensory experience. This interaction of the materials becomes an integral part of her process. She allows the contrasting substances to mix randomly in areas while manipulating other areas by carving, dripping, melting, taping, or spraying the surface. Opening/Reception is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 9am - 4pm. Admission is $3 for non-members. Admission is free for members, all students with current student ID, and children under 12. Tuesdays are always free thanks to Allied Insurance and Home Loan Investments.

A Beverly woman was found locked in her car early Monday morning in what police called an apparent kidnapping. But now Maria Brayfield, 24, has admitted that it was all a hoax.
"Our criminals investigation division determined that she had made up the whole story. At that time she was released," Beverly Police Officer Mike Boccuzzi told WBZ.
Brayfield later admitted that she was intoxicated and afraid of being pulled over by police so she concocted the kidnapping story.
Earlier: According to WHDH, the woman, 24, was found along Route 128 in Wenham. She told police two drivers stopped to help when they saw her car on the side of the road by Exit 17. Believing it to be the scene of a car accident, the drivers approached the car and heard someone inside. They freed the Maria by smashing the rear glass window.
Brayfield told police that two masked men had entered her apartment and kidnapped her, forcing her to drive up Route 128. They then left her locked in the back of the car and took off, says WHDH.
Police are currently investigating the situation.

404 File Not Found
Host by NetBox Version 2.8 Build 4128
ProCollar is a premium protective collar that is designed to protect your pet from reaching injuries, rashes, or post surgery wounds.
The ProCollar has an inflatable inner bladder made of a plastic vinyl that is inflated through a two-way air valve much like a beach ball. Once inflated, the size and thickness of the ProCollar function as a soft deterrent. The inner bladder is protected by a pliable plastic outer jacket lined with a durable canvas material to resist bites and scratches. The ProCollar is held in place by inserting the pet's everyday collar through the the ProCollar's three inner rings. The velcro strap should be placed at the back of the neck and then adjusted for a perfect fit.
While wearing the ProCollar, pets are able to eat, sleep and play at ease while staying protected. To prevent another animal from biting the patient's collar; Rub with bitter apple or ammonia.
The ProCollar is machine washable or can be washed with anti-bacterial soap and/or ammonia and laid flat to dry. Always monitor a pet post-surgery to ensure that the collar is working properly. Some pets may be able to maneuver around any collar.

Best Uses
Upon inflating the inner piece, I noticed it was leaking. It is made from really cheap plastic and there obviously is no product control. Luckily I had some pillow stuffing on hand and proceeded to stuff the shell. The concept works well and my dog has not been able to get to his leg wound. If the product had been well made then I would give it five stars. Luckily I has the stuffing on hand or my dog would have needed to wear the cone of shame. BTW he is a 75 pound chow shepard mix. Buyer beware, have an alternative of hand for the inner part.
Best Uses
Bought this collar for a Jack Russell who was about to be spayed. It's much gentler than an e-collar on both your dog and your furniture. Threading her regular collar through the inside loops was easy and effectively held the collar in place. So much for the good.
Now for the bad. The collar has an inflatable inner component that gives shape to the collar without adding weight. Its really cheaply made. After 2 days it sprung a leak at one of the seams rendering the collar useless. The dog did not do this! The way the collar is constructed, she couldn't bite it even if she tried.
All I can say is I was very glad the vet gave me an e-collar backup. (Maybe they have seen this before because they said to take it "just in case").
The idea is great but the execution is bad. I cannot recommend this product.

Pretty much what Perm says. Both flankers are really the guys who look to secure possession (which is why league with its uncontested recycling of possession did away with them) but opensides (as the name suggests) in scrums pack down on the side where the scrum-half will (probably) be looking to pass the ball to his 10, so a good 7 will always be looking to collar either before they get the chance to do something with it.
Blindside flankers (in theory) have less space to cover than their mates on the openside, so tend to be bigger & probably do more actual ball-carrying like a No 8 would too.

'We're Michigan' Bravado Losing Steam But Not Dead Yet [BLOG]With all that said, until the team gets back on track with the glorious past it so often touts, it might be best to stop with the "We're Michigan" bravado and let solid play and wins do the talking instead.

Four years of holding the line on expenditures has backed some city departments into a corner.
This is the year many are saying they just can't do it anymore. And, this may be the year they can break free.
Revenues are expected to be up -- albeit minimally -- and capital needs are fewer.
City Manager Jim Ferree today received a preliminary copy of the city's 2006 budget. He expects to spend the next three weeks reviewing it with individual department leaders and then as a group as they vie for limited dollars. That will be the meeting where wish lists meet reality as budgets are redrafted to reflect revenues and priorities.
At that meeting, anything can change.
Finance Director Bruce Nelson has taken a cautiously optimistic approach on revenues. He's expecting sales tax and property tax to increase slightly and also has budgeted higher than he did last year for mineral lease revenues. Overall, his budget calls for a $452,000 increase in general fund revenues over 2005.
The city's general fund finances the city's administrative services as well as the Parks and Recreation, Road and Bridge and police departments.
Ferree's guidelines for department leaders were a little more flexible this year compared with the past few years when the bottom line has been a zero-growth budget.
"I asked them to try and keep it as level as possible, knowing that it's going to be difficult with fuel prices and other price increases," Ferree said.
Department leaders said they're budgeting closer to what they actually spent, which means the police and Road and Bridge departments' operation budgets increased about 2 percent each. Dave Pike, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, budgeted a 10 percent increase.
"I can't hold the line anymore," he said. "We may have to go back, and they'll cut it."
Pike's dilemma is an increasing need for part-time employees.
"I need some more help," he said. "We're getting to the point where we can only maintain, we can't add new projects."
Pike also is having a hard time holding the line on expenses on repair and maintenance as sprinkler heads and systems are broken and as facilities are vandalized.
To offset those increases, capital requests are down 33 percent. Capital requests include all purchases more than $5,000.
Ferree attributes the decrease to a lull in the city's vehicle 10-year replacement program, which means fewer need to be purchased this year.
The 2006 budget -- as it stands -- is smaller by about $220,000 than the 2005 budget, Ferree said.
But there are still several things that could change.
The budget doesn't reflect the City Council's input, Ferree's feedback or cost-of-living salary increases for city employees.
There are no requests for additional employees, nor are positions being cut.
Ferree said it's unusual for the budget -- at this early stage -- to come in low. Generally requests are up and must be pared down to fit the dollars available.
Even reserves are expected to be as much as $2.1 million -- $300,000 higher than expected. The goal is a 25 percent reserve.
"For the past several years, we've had to cut to get to that point," Ferree said.
Having additional reserves doesn't mean departments will be able to increase their budgets. Ferree said they'll look at their needs during the next four years and determine where that money is most needed.
"We may want a larger reserve to handle 2007 equipment replacements," he said.
Police Chief Walt Vanatta said preparing the 2006 budget presented the same challenges it always does.
"We increase one thing and have to decrease another to make it balance," he said. "We recognize that times are getting leaner, and we have to budget accordingly.
In the police department's case, he has to find a way to budget for increased overtime that's the result of increased calls for service and training needs. Add that to a rise in fuel costs, and capital needs are being cut to make up the difference.
Randy Call, Road and Bridge Department director, budgeted for higher gasoline prices last year, so he's not feeling too tight a pinch this year.
"We can exist with what we had for last year," he said. "It's not real hard to budget for Road and Bridge operations and maintenance."
Call is keeping an eye on asphalt and plastic prices. Although increases don't affect his budget, they do affect how much he can accomplish while staying within those dollars.
"It's all about planning. They tell me what I can do. I'm not going to tell them what I want," Call said
Ferree expects to have a draft budget to the council by Sept. 16. The council will hold an all-day budget work session Oct. 7. An ordinance approving the budget will be introduced at the Oct. 25 council meeting, and its final adoption is scheduled for Nov. 22.

2010 NFL Mock Draft Fans' Picks Round Two: San Diego Pick No. 40
Alright, B/R fans, you asked for it, so here it is: Round Two of our Fans' Draft.
Round One was a success, and we'll expect nothing less this time around.
Hopefully, this will give fans a chance to get an idea of what the second round could look like, and also pretty much just help pass the time until the real thing happens in April.
The same rules apply, and we'll leave the list of first-round selections so you can see who's already off the board. Here we go!
Here's the list of the selections so far.
1. Rams take QB Jimmy Clausen
2. Lions take DT Ndamukong Suh
3. Buccaneers take DT Gerald McCoy
4. Redskins take OT Russell Okung
5. Chiefs take S Eric Berry
6. Seahawks take OT Bruce Campbell
7. Browns take CB Joe Haden
8. Raiders take OT Anthony Davis
9. Bills take OT Bryan Bulaga
10. Jaguars take QB Tim Tebow
11. Broncos take ILB Rolando McClain
12. Dolphins take WR Dez Bryant
13. 49er's take RB CJ Spiller
14. Seahawks take OG Mike Iupati
15. Giants take DT Brian Price
16. Titans take DE Derrick Morgan
17. 49er's take S Taylor Mays
18. Steelers take S Earl Thomas
19. Falcons take DE Jason Pierre-Paul
20. Texans take WR Golden Tate
21. Bengals take TE Jermaine Gresham
22. Patriots take OLB Sergio Kindle
23. Packers take OLB Jerry Hughes
24. Eagles take OLB Sean Weatherspoon
25. Ravens take WR Arrelious Benn
26. Cardinals take OT Trent Williams
27. Cowboys take ILB Brandon Spikes
28. Chargers take DT Dan Williams
29. Jets take DT Jared Odrick
30. Vikings take QB Sam Bradford
31. Colts take CB Devin McCourty
32. Saints take DE Brandon Graham
33. Rams take CB Kyle Wilson
34. Lions take C Maurkice Pouncey
35. Buccaneers take WR Demaryius Thomas
36. Chiefs take DT Terrence Cody
37. Redskins take OT Charles Brown
38. Browns select QB Colt McCoy
39. Raiders select DT Cam Thomas
Okay, Charger fans, you picked up a solid long-term replacement for Jamaal Williams with your first pick. So who will you take next?
Running back is a big area of need after losing LaDainian Tomlinson and there's a good chance that brass in San Diego could decide to use a first-round pick on that position.
However, if the draft ended up like this, and San Diego could land Dan Williams in Round One and still have a chance to take a premier back in the second round, they certainly wouldn't be complaining.
Make sure to cast your votes soon!
Polls will close in 24 hours.
The Rules: Each day for the next 32 days we'll post a continuation of this article at 6 PM Eastern time where the fans can comment, discuss, and decide who their team will pick.
At 5 PM Eastern the following day, we'll look at the best comments and opinions and announce the selection your team has made, along with the next team who will pick at 6 PM. A list of previous selections will be included and fans will not be allowed to vote for players who are already off the board.
Note : You do not have to use the player's full name in voting for your vote to count. If there is a tie at the 5 PM cut-off, whichever player is ranked as the higher pick on CBS Sports' "overall player ranking" will be the selection.
Example : If the Bills have six votes for Ndamukong Suh and six votes for Gerald McCoy, then Suh, who is ranked No. 1 overall, would be the selection over McCoy who is ranked No. 3.

Creation and Evolution in Native American Spirituality
In celebration of Evolution Weekend, an annual event led by clergy to encourage serious discussion and reflection on the relationship between religion and science, St. James United Church of Christ in Lovettsville has invited Roger and Deborah "Turtle" Swartz to guide a discussion of traditional Native American Spirituality and its wisdom in celebrating human relationship to the earth. In a time of urgent concerns about a mission of stewardship, and sometimes sharp differences among people of faith in understandings of the 'Creator' and the 'Creation,' the discussion presents an opportunity to learn about another traditional approach to our relationship with the natural world.
The presentation and discussion will be held Sunday, February 14 at 11:00 am, followed by refreshments, at St. James United Church of Christ, 10 East Broad Way, Lovettsville, VA. All are welcome.
Roger is the author of two nationally acclaimed books dealing with the frontier history of Pennsylvania during the American Revolution; Turtle is a member of and clan mother for the Southeastern Woodland Indian Loyalist Confederacy.
Evolution Weekend was founded in 2005 by The Clergy Letter Project to counter the undermining of evolutionary science and the belief that faith and science are incompatible. Attacks on evolution have often also defamed Charles Darwin as an enemy of compassion and morality, falsely associating his work with the unrelated concept of "social darwinism." In fact, Darwin's writing "reveals caring, love, moral evolution and education as the prime drivers" of human advancement toward justice and compassionate community, says the Rev. Don Prange, pastor of St. James UCC.

Nicole Kidman in 'The Paperboy'
Director Lee Daniels' followup to "Precious" received some harsh reviews, but Kidman's highly sexualized performance did earn some kind critical words. Apparently they were enough to get Kidman nominated, despite general dislike of the film. Let's just hope the clip they use is not the infamous one of Kidman urinating on co-star Zac Efron.

Evolving Strategies! (Japanese: フルバトル!シンジVSサトシ!!-後編- Full Battle! Shinji VS Satoshi!! -Part 2-) is the 132nd episode of the Diamond & Pearl series, and the 598th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on June 18, 2009 and in the United States on November 14, 2009.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details. |
Ash and Paul are still in the middle of their Full Battle, both sides down one Pokémon. Ash's Pikachu faces off against Paul's powerful Magmortar. Ash warns Pikachu not to let its guard down. Dawn, who is on the sidelines with Brock, Reggie and her Piplup (as well as Jessie, James and Meowth in disguise manning the scoreboard), looks up Magmortar in her Pokédex. Dawn wonders why Paul did not counter with a Ground-type Pokémon, but Brock suggests that it wouldn't have mattered because Ash could simply switch with Buizel at any time. Reggie adds that Paul is not only thinking about type, and as the battle continues they would find out why Magmortar's up.
Ash orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack, which successfully connects and knocks Magmortar backwards, but Magmortar quickly recovers. Even worse, once Pikachu lands, he is immediately hurt by fire that surrounds his body. Dawn wonders how Pikachu was hurt when Magmortar did not do a thing, and Brock explains that Magmortar has the Flame Body Ability, which has a chance of burning an opponent if it makes physical contact, as a result of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Paul smiles, and Ash asks Pikachu if he wants to continue, and Pikachu, desperate to help defeat Paul, agrees. Ash thanks Pikachu and commands a Thunderbolt, and Paul responds by ordering a Flamethrower. Magmortar fires Flamethrower from its massive bazooka-like arms and it connects with Thunderbolt, causing a massive explosion. Ash then has Pikachu use Volt Tackle, and Pikachu powers up and heads straight towards Magmortar. Paul commands Magmortar to use Rock Tomb, and Magmortar starts to fire purple energy which turns into rocks when they hit the ground. Pikachu, forced to run straight due to the Volt Tackle, smashes head-first into the rocks which causes Volt Tackle to fail and throws Pikachu back, where he continues to suffer from his burn. Paul then commands Magmortar to use Smog and Magmortar releasing a poisonous cloud which heads straight towards Pikachu. Ash commands Pikachu to use the Counter Shield technique which they developed for the Gym battle against Fantina, and Pikachu rolls on his back while releasing electricity, successfully countering the Smog, to which Paul is shocked and Team Rocket amazed. Reggie is impressed by the move and Brock explains that Ash developed it as a means to both attack and defend at the same time. Pikachu is then hurt by his burn again. Reggie knows that this is bad and that the longer that Pikachu carries on the greater the disadvantage for him. Paul orders Magmortar to use Flamethrower. Ash tells Pikachu to jump and use Iron Tail from above. Pikachu jumps out of the Flamethrower's path and successfully strikes Magmortar across the head with Iron Tail, but Magmortar takes the hit and Pikachu takes more burn damage. Ash then recalls Pikachu for some rest after battling so hard.
Ash decides to use type-advantage against Magmortar and sends out Buizel who is ready to battle. Ash starts by ordering an Aqua Jet and Buizel speeds towards Magmortar and hits it directly on the chest, sending Magmortar reeling back, but despite the super-effective hit is still able to carry on. Ash then follows up with Water Pulse and Buizel sends a wave of water towards his opponent, however Paul orders another Rock Tomb, and Magmortar creates a shield of rocks which protects itself from the Water Pulse. However, Ash knows that it will stand no chance against a Water-type-type attack and orders Aqua Jet. Buizel smashes through the rocks, only to find Magmortar gone. Ash and Buizel don't know where Magmortar is, and Buizel looks up to see a now aerial Magmortar release another Smog, which hits Buizel and poisons the Pokémon, causing Buizel to reel in pain. Brock realizes that Rock Tomb was used to keep Buizel from seeing what Magmortar was up to. As Buizel tries to recover from his damage, Magmortar lands and Paul recalls it.
Paul then sends out Ursaring and Ash orders Water Gun. Paul is prepared for this and orders a Hammer Arm, which successfully counters the attack making Ash wondering how it managed to counter Water Gun. Paul then orders Bulk Up which increases Ursaring's strength and defense. Ash knows what Bulk Up does, but foolishly believes Buizel can handle it and has him use Aqua Jet while Paul orders Ursaring to use Slash. Ursaring, after resisting Aqua Jet, hits Buizel with its sharp claws, sending Buizel to the ground. Ursaring uses Focus Blast, and Ash responds by having Buizel use an Aqua Jet Counter Shield which creates a typhoon of water upon which Focus Blast backfires onto Ursaring. Ash asks Paul if he likes the taste of the Counter Shield and that Pikachu isn't the only one who can use it, to which Paul says nothing. Ash then orders a SonicBoom, and Paul tells Ursaring to use Hammer Arm. Ursaring runs through the SonicBoom and lands a direct hit on Buizel, smashing him to the ground. At this point, Ash is ready to recall Buizel, but Buizel wants to stay in the battle so Ash allows him to stay. This turns out to be a mistake, because when Buizel is ordered to use Aqua Jet, the attack is countered by a dead on Focus Blast which takes Buizel out of the battle. Dawn feels very sorry for Buizel, but Reggie says that Buizel was eliminated because of Ash's poor judgment. Again, Brock agrees, saying that Ash should have recalled Buizel before the Focus Blast like he had been planning to.
Ash then sends out Staraptor, launching Aerial Ace. Paul orders another Hammer Arm, but Staraptor dodges it and scores a clean hit with Aerial Ace. Paul orders Focus Blast, which hits Staraptor in mid-air, but not critically damaging it. Ash orders Staraptor to use Close Combat, but Ursaring's Slash attack stops Staraptor before it can get close enough to attack. Ursaring then Hammer Arms Staraptor into the ground, taking it out of the match. Ash returns it to its Poké Ball and thanks it for a good battle. Paul recalls Ursaring and sends out Electabuzz, and Ash sends out Chimchar for its first appearance in the battle. Team Rocket are excited to see Chimchar battle, and Chimchar shows a mean look at Paul.
Chimchar uses Flamethrower, but Electabuzz uses Protect to block. Paul has Electabuzz put up a Light Screen before immediately returning it to its Poké Ball. While Jessie, James and Meowth complain about the constant switching of Pokémon, meaning more work for them, Brock is surprised at how Paul got Electabuzz to use Protect and then Light Screen. Reggie believes that Paul used Protect to cover Electabuzz then Light Screen to cover his next Pokémon. Paul sends out Torterra, which confuses Ash as Torterra, being a partial Grass-type, has a disadvantage to Chimchar, but he carries on.
Ash orders Chimchar to use Flame Wheel, but Torterra counters with Stone Edge. Ash has Chimchar immediately dodge the Stone Edge by changing the direction of the Flame Wheel, but it is revealed that Paul has trained Torterra to change the direction of the stones, allowing them to follow Chimchar, amazing Brock and Dawn. Chimchar cannot outrun the stones and therefore suffers a hit. Ash has Chimchar use Flamethrower which hits successfully, but the Light Screen protects Torterra and Flamethrower only does half the damage. Brock knows it is getting really hard for Ash and Reggie adds that Chimchar is in a difficult position. If it uses attacks from far away they won't cause much damage due to the Light Screen while if Chimchar goes in close it risks taking a hit from Stone Edge. Realizing that Chimchar won't be able to defeat Torterra like this, Ash recalls it, making Jessie complain loudly about the extra work that Ash was giving them by switching Pokémon.
Ash sends out Gliscor against Torterra again and orders X-Scissor. However, this time, Paul isn't messing around with Gliscor and has Torterra use Frenzy Plant which this time is able to score a direct hit and knocks out Gliscor immediately. Ash returns Gliscor to its Poké Ball, and begins to consider his remaining options. He knows that Torterra was Paul's first Pokémon and as a result is the strongest member of his team. Suddenly Pikachu requests to go up against Torterra, but Ash is hesitant and reminds Pikachu of the type-disadvantage. Pikachu insists on going in and Ash agrees, planning to use speed and Iron Tail to gain the advantage, only for Paul to immediately return Torterra.
Paul sends out Ursaring again, leaving Ash unsure of what to do, as he knows that Ursaring is very powerful, having taken out two of his Pokémon. Pikachu reminds Ash that he has the first move, and Ash orders Quick Attack, while Paul orders yet another Hammer Arm. Pikachu hits with Quick Attack, but Ursaring's Hammer Arm knocks the wind out of Pikachu and sends him flying back. Pikachu recovers and Ash orders Pikachu to use Iron Tail. Paul orders Ursaring to counter, but Ursaring suffers from paralysis from Pikachu's Static, and Iron Tail scores a clean hit, although Pikachu still suffers damage from the burn it received from Magmortar earlier. Just then, Ursaring's eyes begin to glow red, pleasing Paul. Reggie notes that Ursaring's Guts Ability has been activated by its paralysis. Pikachu looks up to see Ursaring glowing red and screaming with rage, having suddenly just gained a lot of power. Paul commands Hammer Arm, while Ash orders Pikachu to counter, and Pikachu responds with a massive Thunderbolt, but it does not stop Ursaring. Ash wonders where the power is coming from, and Dawn points out that Ursaring hasn't even used Bulk up. Pikachu is Hammer Armed, and heaved into Lake Acuity, where after disappearing under the water, it lets out a final burst of electricity. Ash runs into the lake looking for his partner, while Reggie explains that Guts works by using the fact that Ursaring was suffering from a status condition to raise its attack power. Dawn and Piplup are very worried about Pikachu, and even Paul casts a glance towards the lake where Ash is looking. Pikachu emerges from the water, seemingly okay, but he quickly faints in Ash's arms, not only exhausted but injured from Ursaring's attacks. Team Rocket are shocked that not even Pikachu could manage to take down any of Paul's Pokémon. Ash carries Pikachu to the sidelines and promises to get it to a Pokémon Center after the battle. Ash knows that Paul still has five Pokémon while Ash is down to only Chimchar, but he also knows that all of Paul's Pokémon have taken damage and he is still determined to continue, which concerns Pikachu.
Ash sends out Chimchar while Paul leaves Ursaring in. Chimchar uses Flame Wheel, but Ursaring knocks it back with Slash. Ash then tells Chimchar to use Flamethrower, which scores a direct hit, and Ash then has Chimchar use Dig. Paul commands Ursaring to use Hammer Arm on the ground like before, but this time Chimchar emerges from the ground before Ursaring can pull off the attack and causes even more damage to it. Chimchar is then commanded to use another Flamethrower, which hits Ursaring dead-on finally bringing it down. Ash congratulates Chimchar on doing a great job which makes the Chimp Pokémon dance with joy. Jessie, James and Meowth cry with joy at seeing Chimchar do so well.
Ash approaches Chimchar and praises his Pokémon before asking if it is okay to continue. Chimchar nods its head in agreement and then starts to glow... as Chimchar has started to evolve! Everyone watches in amazement as Chimchar undergoes the transformation and evolves into Monferno. Ash is overjoyed over having a new Pokémon, and Dawn looks up Monferno in the Pokédex. Reggie notes that while Chimchar didn't fit Paul's training style, it was a perfect match for Ash's, and this has been displayed in Chimchar rising to Ash's call and evolving into Monferno, and as a result now has new abilities and techniques at its disposal. Monferno demonstrates this by swinging its fists quickly and effortlessly which causes them to glow. Monferno then swings at the ground which sends a gust of wind at Paul, who stands unflinching. Ash realizes that, as well as evolving, Monferno has also learned Mach Punch, which Monferno confirms by somersaulting on the spot. Reggie continues that Ash and Monferno are the perfect example of how compatibility between Trainer and Pokémon can mean everything. Also as they both have pride on the line all this will have a massive effect in the long run... this is why Reggie asked for the Full Battle; to give both Ash and Paul the chance to grow stronger as well as their Pokémon.
Paul sends out Electabuzz, who is initially surprised to see Chimchar has evolved but is still more than ready to battle its former teammate, a sentiment Monferno agrees with. Reggie notes the two are now on equal terms, and Ash commands Monferno to use Mach Punch. Monferno speeds towards Electabuzz and chokes it square on the chest, sending an astounded Electabuzz flying back and smashing into a rock. Paul orders Electabuzz to use Thunder, which hits Monferno and makes it scream in pain. Ash responds to this by having Monferno use Flame Wheel, however Paul has Electabuzz use Protect, sending Monferno flying back. Monferno tries Flamethrower, but Electabuzz dodges and executes ThunderPunch. Monferno dodges it in mid-air, and Ash tells it to use Dig. Monferno tunnels underground, and when Electabuzz lands it suffers a direct strike as Monferno emerges. Ash commands another Flame Wheel, and Electabuzz responds with Thunder which heads straight towards Monferno. Ash has Monferno use Counter Shield, and as a result, the Thunder is deflected allowing Flame Wheel to score a direct hit. Reggie is impressed by how Ash is using the momentum to turn the battle around. Ash orders another Mach Punch, but this time Monferno was hit by Electabuzz's Thunder, sending it back towards Ash and forcing it to its knees from both the damage and paralysis. Ash senses something bad and tells Monferno to use Flamethrower, but as he sees Monferno can't launch the attack, he then realizes that Monferno had been paralyzed. Just then, Monferno's tail flame starts to burn more fiercely. Dawn asks if Monferno has activated Blaze, however Reggie explains that the increase in Monferno's flame isn't Blaze, but is actually due to its determination not to be beaten manifesting in its ways. Ash is delighted that Monferno is not giving up no matter what and tells it to use Mach Punch while Paul commands his Electabuzz to use ThunderPunch. The two Pokémon head towards each other full of fury, and both attacks connect at the same time, which causes a massive explosion in the middle of the battlefield. When the smoke clears, Monferno and Electabuzz continue to stare each other down. While Electabuzz is very weak, Monferno has taken far more damage and collapses to the ground, badly injured, to Ash's horror. Olivier rules Monferno as being unable to battle, which means Paul has won the match while Ash, having only managed to knock out two of Paul's Pokémon, has suffered his worst defeat ever.
The sun starts to set on Lake Acuity, as Paul returns Electabuzz to its Poké Ball and Ash cradles Monferno in his arms, telling it that it did a great job. Reggie congratulates Paul on his win, and Paul actually smiles, acknowledging that it was indeed a spectacular battle. Paul promises to send Reggie his Pokémon and bids farewell to him and Olivier before leaving. As for Ash, he is left devastated by this total defeat, almost crying, knowing he was completely outclassed by his rival. And so, the episode ends with Ash holding his badly injured Monferno, with his future in the Sinnoh League and as a Pokémon Trainer left in serious doubt.
