Plus Louis Walsh imposes curfew on his acts to stop them "Doing a Prince Harry" and Tulisa advises Little Mixer Perrie to "cool it" with 1D's Zayn
We'll start today's X Factor news round up with a report in the Sun that states that wannabe Melanie Masson – who wowed the judges with her rendition of Janice Joplin's Cry Baby in Saturday night's auditions show – has already been in the music biz for around 15 years.
The paper reports that Melanie has "sung alongside a string of big names" including Kasabian, Stereophonics, Fatboy Slim, Happy Mondays and Leo Sayer.
The mum-of-two also released a single in 2007 and was signed to EMI. However, the judges seemed to be unaware of her past career when they met her on Saturday's show.

Schulze received hospitality from the Bedouin people of Socotra, staying in their homes and eating with them, but said he was never quite able to bridge the cultural divide he felt.
"I discovered I was alien to the people and they were alien to me," he said. "They were extremely hospitable, they welcomed me in their houses and I had tea with the village elders, but there was an invisible world of extreme cultural difference."
Schulze said he also witnessed the devastating impact of industrial fishing on the island's small boats.
"I was a guest of fishermen on the coast and there were days when they didn't catch anything so there was nothing to eat but yesterday's bread," he said.
"They are often victim of pirate European fishing trawlers illegally depleting their stocks, because neither Yemen nor (nearby) Somalia has effective coast guard to stop them.
"I realized for the first time what overfishing means. It's not about running out of tuna in 10 years' time, it means people will starve now because they don't get their daily fish."
He visited Socotra three times over a year, each time for three weeks, in order to see it in different seasons.
Schulze has been unable to return to Socotra with his finished book, and a lack of a postal system makes it impossible to send it there. However, he has presented the book to members of the Friends of Socotra, an international group composed mainly of scientists interested in the unique biodiversity and culture of the islands.
In addition to its endemic plants, reptiles and snails, Socotra has 192 species of land and sea birds, including many threatened species, and diverse marine life, according to UNESCO.
The SGBP says the local population has developed strong traditional rules to protect the island's natural resources because of its isolated position and history of self-sufficiency.

Feb. 14 — To the Editor:
Since President Obama took office in 2009, one of the most enduring attacks we've heard from Republicans has been aimed at his alleged "reckless," "out-of-control" spending. It's a baseless attack, since actual spending has gone down during Obama's first term. However, where was the Republican outrage when the steepest rise in spending over the past 30 years occurred during the Bush era? In fact, in 2006 they voted without fuss or tantrum to raise the debt ceiling to an unprecedented $9 trillion.
Contrary to what Republicans want us to believe, government spending has gone down and is under control in the Obama era. The U.S. government took in more revenue than it spent and ran a budget surplus of $3 billion in January, according to the Treasury Department. And according to the recent (Congressional Budget Office) report, the federal deficit is shrinking at the fastest pace in American history.
In the Bush years, spending hit historic proportions and nothing was done to reduce or address the burgeoning debt and curb the spending, even as a GOP-controlled Congress, Senate and White House were in place to exercise fiscal responsibility. By contrast, this president and this Democratic-led Senate have approved nearly $2.5 trillion in debt reduction spending cuts and we've seen the annual deficit go down, not up. So why is the GOP now refusing to pay the bills the Bush era spending incurred?
Where were they six, seven, eight years ago?

More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareMicrosoft's OneNote is arguably the best note-taking software out there. It can simply take care of all your note-taking needs, and there's virtually nothing that comes close to it besides Evernote. While you can do some creative stuff with Evernote, OneNote can pack quite a punch as well in helping ease your life. While some of you might just use Microsoft OneNote in very simple ways, note that there are a few scenarios which can greatly increase OneNote's effectiveness for you. Here are five tips that can help you get more out of OneNote so you can reduce your stress, become more organized, and find time for other things in life. Get OneNote for Free! If you use Windows 8, Android, iOS, or Windows Phone, did you know that you can use OneNote absolutely free? While it won't be as fully functional as the version found in the Microsoft Office suite, there are official OneNote apps available for Windows 8, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone absolutely free from the respective app stores. You can even use the OneNote Web App. These apps allow you to use the main features of OneNote that make it so great. The only limitation are the number of notes you can have, which won't hurt you if you do some routine cleaning. So anyone can get their lives organized with OneNote without having to pay anything. Sync Your Notebooks Synchronization of OneNote's notebooks is key if you have multiple devices. Being able to access and modify your notebooks from any of your devices can help save you time and possible frustration. Recent versions of OneNote can automatically sync via your Skydrive, which makes it easy to access the current versions of your notebooks from any computer or mobile device. If you'd rather not use Skydrive, but instead use a different cloud sync service like Dropbox, you can simply save your notebooks in your Dropbox folder instead. It may help to enable sharing on the notebook, however, so that you won't encounter any issues if you have the notebook open on more than one device at a time. Organize and Use Often! OneNote can be used for a lot more than simple note-taking — it can be used to store everything important in your life. This can include anything from keeping up with a simple to-do list to organizing client info for a business to organizing research when planning out a trip. If you come across anything that may be important in both the short-term as well as long-term, put it in OneNote! Just remember that there is a difference between keeping random daily notes and keeping organized notes. With organized notes, it'll be a lot easier to find things you've saved, making OneNote a lot more useful for you. Busy Student Lives If you're a student who hasn't used OneNote before, then you seriously need to take a look at it. OneNote's organizational structure for notes makes it perfect for students to organize their notes by class and topic or lecture. OneNote also offers a great template which students can start off with and then modify to meet their own needs. Microsoft OneNote is simply fantastic for a student's every need — homework lists, quick notes, lecture notes, reviews, and more. Additionally, as a student, it's even more important to have a system set up for synchronization, so that you are able to access your class notes wherever you are, even on the go. Do Math in Your Notes Besides being great for a number of different usage scenarios, OneNote also has a few features that aren't very well known. One of them is OneNote's ability to take care of mathematical problems right in your notes. You can give this feature a try right now: open up any random note and type out a simple math equation like "25/5=" but without the quotes. As soon as you hit enter or return after the equals sign, OneNote will automatically calculate the value for you. This helps combine notes and actual math work at the same time. Microsoft OneNote's math capabilities reach much farther than that, however. OneNote can also calculate trigonometric functions, logarithms, radians, derivatives, integrals, and a few other common math functions. Please note, however, that some of the advanced math functions can only be found in the paid version of OneNote, so your experience may vary if you are using a free app. Conclusion Hopefully these five tips have convinced you that Microsoft OneNote is definitely worth a try, or worth diving further into if you're just a casual user. You can also check out some other great OneNote tips, or check out this comparison between OneNote and the infamous Evernote. What OneNote tips do you have? What note-taking solution do you use if not OneNote? Let us know in the comments! The post 5 Ways to Take Advantage of Microsoft OneNote appeared first on MakeUseOf.

Decatur, Ala. | Tuesday, June 18, 2013 |
Mayor Don Kyle spent his first week back at his old job getting to know new department heads and employees and reacquainting himself with old ones.
A string of one-on-one and small-group meetings with directors in key departments have helped bring him up to speed on projects and perceived problems ahead.
"The gears in my head are turning so fast that I'm trying to slow it down, and take one issue at a time," Kyle said last week from his sixth-floor office.
It has been four years since Kyle sat in the mayor's seat, and since then the personnel at City Hall have changed, along with Decatur's economic landscape.
"We have more opportunities now, and it's just a matter of grabbing onto them," Kyle said.
While managing day-to-day administrative responsibilities in the coming months, Kyle plans to tackle a host of initiatives. Some items on his to-do list include:
Resubmit to the U.S. Justice Department the redistricting plan to implement the city manager referendum.
Kyle said he has drafted a memo to Council President Gary Hammon requesting the City Council consider resubmitting the three-district plan that would establish a council-manager form of government.
Kyle said he reviewed the two letters the Justice Department sent to the city in which federal officials requested more information about the three-district plan.
The city later withdrew the plan and submitted a five-district plan that retained a mayor in its place. That plan was approved by the Justice Department.
Kyle said he believes the Justice Department wanted more information about the petitioners' "intent" in trying to change from a council-mayor to a council-manager government.
Hammon said Friday he had not heard about or received Kyle's memo, but he would be willing to put the measure on a council agenda for consideration.
Evaluate operational structure and consider consolidation of certain departments into one administrative division.
The revenue, finance and purchasing departments report directly to the mayor. Kyle has proposed combining those departments — which serve other city departments more so than the general public — with information technology and a human resources department under one senior manager who would report to the mayor.
Kyle believes the reorganization would allow cross-training of employees to cover for one another during absences, foster more cooperation and understanding among departments and create a smoother budgeting process.
"The council would be involved in that, and I would ask their blessing on any big changes," Kyle said.
Analyze the 2013 budget.
Kyle, a former accountant and bank trust officer, has been "spot checking" certain areas of this year's budget with finance officials. He said he wants to get an understanding of why certain line items were changed or left unchanged from the fiscal 2012 budget. He's also reviewing the 2012 budget as finance officials close the books on it and prepare for the annual audit.
Gather top 10 priorities from each department.
Kyle plans to replace Stanford's Wednesday finance meetings with council members and key directors with smaller, more informal meetings to go over city business. He wants to hear from department heads on their top concerns or upcoming issues and how best to address them.
"I favor more meetings with fewer people than a few meetings with a lot of people," Kyle said. "I feel they're more productive, and you can keep it very specific to the issues without straying off course."
Establish regular communications with council members and directors.
Kyle wants to set up recurring meetings with individual councilmen, possibly breakfast meetings, to "clarify their personal interests" and city issues that they want to address. He plans to do the same with new as well as old department heads.
"I've got to establish a new set of relationships," he said. "There's a good number of department heads that have been around a while that I know well, but there are new ones I want to talk to and get their ideas on things."
Pursue expedited permitting process for contractors.
Kyle wants to create a preferred list of "good" contractors and companies who have consistently followed city codes and regulations and expedite the process of approving plans and issuing building permits to them. To do that, the building department will need more training to increase the number of personnel who can review building plans, Kyle said.
"We don't want to skimp on quality, but we do want to make life easier where we can for those who have always followed the rules."
Change process of renewing business licenses.
A consolidated administrative division would give the revenue department access to more personnel to help process annual business license renewals in January, Kyle said. But he's also exploring possible legislative action that would change the annual business renewal deadline in January to a monthly due date, creating a process similar to renewing license plates.
The change would allow the revenue department to spread business license renewals across 12 months instead of the processing all of them one month a year, he said.

Who gets to decide who a "good company" is? Good old boy system back in effect.
From the conversations that I have heard, one would describe a "good company" as one that rarely has any construction disputes, one that the city never has any violations from. Some people just want to do the right thing......believe it or not!
There isn't a construction company in Decatur that doesn't have red flags and violations. None. zero. So come up with some other way to give back to your cronies Charlie Tuna.
Consistent, reliable, compliant & with measurement criteria = good. Smallminded argumentative quibbling like three of four comments are counterproductive, destructive, vengeful & self-serving nonsense.
Well said Kenneth.

As all Edimax products, BR-6226n too comes in white box with the standard manufacturer graphic design. It as usual has little informative value, just a characteristics list. And the obligatory picture that gives an illustrative example of the product intended role:
After we open the box, in it besides the router itself we find pretty much the standard stuff – network cable, stand for keeping it upright, power adapter, rubber feet, two leaflets and installation CD. Good impression makes the power adapter with its compact size, a thing quite handy, unlike the majority of power adapters used by similar products:
BR-6226n itself follows the standard brand design, one rather good we must admit – white body with embossed Edimax logo on it. The two antennas clearly suggest that it is a 802.11n router. Still, its odd that the front panel is quite unappealing, unlike the ones of the more expensive models from the brand – but then again that can't be by chance, considering its low price and the fact that it should be working quietly out of sight.
The bottom of the router bears the standard stickers and the cooling openings. Should you like to you can stick the rubber feet at their designated places. What we didn't like was the lack of holes for mounting the router on the wall – a thing common amongst other products, not to mention very useful too:
The front panel is gray with small LED lights, that aren't annoying at all. Nothing special actually:
The back is nothing special either – one WAN port, four LAN, two antennas, the standard for Edmiax routers key for wireless network protection, WSP/Reset button and the power adapter jack:
On its sides are few more cooling openings:
And this is how BR-6226n looks like standing up:
Time to power it on and gaze at the lights:

By-election for Burnley's Trinity ward
12:09pm Wednesday 12th September 2012 in News
SIX candidates will be competing to become the new councillor in the Trinity ward of Burnley tomorrow.
A by-election is to be held for a role on the council in the ward following the death of former mayor of Burnley, Coun Tony Lambert, left.
Among the candidates are 18-year-old Conservative candidate Tom Watson, a pupil at Thomas Whitham Sixth Form.
Tom, who lives in Scott Park Road, will be hoping to become the borough's youngest councillor if he can win election.
He will be up against Tony Martin (Labour), Stephanie Forrest (Liberal Democrats), Craig James Ramplee (UK Independence Party), Derek Dawson (British National Party) and Steven Smith (National Front).
The votes will be counted immediately after the poll closes and the results will be posted outside Burnley Town Hall and on the council's website www.burnley.gov.uk as soon as possible after they are announced.
Returning officer Steve Rumbelow said: "I would encourage everyone who is entitled to vote to use it. The polls are open between 7am and 10pm so there is plenty of time for people to get to their polling station."

Pokemon of the Week #16: Latias
Picture by Yelsha41! As Superpowerdude lost interest in hosting this, he graciously allowed me too! Thanks! As you can tell by the title, I am hosting the "Pokemon of the Week" for OU. You may have seen the UU, RU and NU varaints of this project. The aim of this project is to help newer OU players recognize viable Pokemon and sets, in order to aid them when team building. This is done by exploring and discussing a new OU Pokemon each week. If you are unsure what to discuss, here are some good guidelines;
Pokemon of the Week #8: Mamoswine
Pokemon of the Week #9: Reuniclus
Pokemon of the Week #10: Jirachi
Pokemon of the Week #11: Scizor
Pokemon of the Week #12: Tyranitar
Pokemon of the Week #13: Ninetales
Pokemon of the Week #14 and #15: Kyurem and Kyurem-B
http://images.wikia.com/pokemon/images/e/ee/Latias.gif Notable Moves:Latias Type: Dragon / Psychic Base Stats: 80 HP / 80 Atk / 90 Def / 110 SpA / 130 SpD / 110 Spe Abilities: Levitate - Calm Mind - Dragon Pulse - Draco Meteor - Roost - Recover - Reflect - Light Screen - Healing Wish - Psyshock - Grass Knot - Thunderbolt - Surf - Reflect Type - Roar - Wish BW2 has drastically changed many player's thoughts on Latias. In BW1 if one wanted a Life Orb'd Lati@s they'd immediate use her brother, Latios; however, BW2's releases in abilities and Pokemon changed this. Keldeo, Special Landorus, Breloom, etc. now being released has made Latias a much more prominent figurehead in OU. With its unique typing coupled with fantastic Special bulk and great Special Attack, Latias is a powerhouse. Although she may be weaker than her brother, she comes with more bulk and a cool move in Healing Wish. Healing Wish gives you another sweeper on your team a second life, and can be gamechanging. Discuss this new Pokemon of the Week! Date of the Next Pokemon of the Week: 2.14.12 |
Who needs Snow Cloak when you have Thick Fat? Mamoswine is an awesome Pokemon that everyone should try out (especially Banded).
To me, it is one of the best, if not the best check/counter for most of the dragons in OU. |
Mamoswine is great to have against the other weathers though. It can reliably revenge a lot of sun sweepers, and can make his prescence felt. He beats most variants of Tyranitar as well as not having many problems with hippowdon. Both hail and sand don't really have generic teams, so its no gurantee he'll be great here, but he usually does a very good job against both team types. We all know hes pretty awesome against standard dragmag teams, so I won't go into that :0. |
agreeing with Asek i believe the most effective set is the Life Orb set as Asek said you can't afford to be locked into Earthqauke with all the Levitate and Flying-type pokemon common in OU such as the therians, the latis and Rotom-W. Being locked into a 40 base power Ice Shard is also not to good because your opponent can send in their Steel-type and get up entry hazards as your forced to switch. Mamoswines ability to be able to check a wide array of OU pokemon like the Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, Landorus, Thunderous-T, Salamence, Dragonite, etc makes Mamoswine a very easy fit to offensive teams.
I am sure you will do well in the PotW Princess Bri thanks for taking over :) |
Mamoswine @ Focus Sash Trait: Thick FAt EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Endeavor - Ice Shard - Earthquake - Stealth Rock This set doesn't get much love these days compared to the LO set but I still love this set as it can do so much for your team. It can actually easily set up SR and is great for more offensive teams who don't want to loze momentum with mons' such as forry. Also endeavor is sweet because it can often nab a cheap kill, often times against something threatning. Also can revenge kill (obviously) Ice Shard is great for revenging dragons/flyers of course. |
This thing has like no offensive switchins and can 2hko the entire balanced to offensive metagame which is why the 285 speed benchmark is thrown around so often. I have used mamo extensively from fourth gen to early bw 2, but I found that it did the most work in bw1. Even though all the other threats got frailer, rotom got fatter. Moreover, water moves and hurricanes and close combats are being thrown everywhere. Though mamo still is a huge opener and does massive damage aiding the win condition, it is a liability for terrakion and gene setting up. As Bri mentioned in th op, mamoswine still comes with a myriad benefits, but I think it'll shine brighter when gene is banned.
Adamant life orb set is the best, with earthquake, ice shard, superpower, and icicle spear. A set with 64 hp and chople/rindo could lure kill terrakion and rp gene as well. Edit: since this thing kills so many pokes and hardly has switchins, a sub 3 attacks set is also viable to ease prediction. However, this comes at the price of not being able to hit rotom wash. I'm definitely looking forward to testing out sub lefties |
Mamerswine is probably one of the best Pokes around right now. Anti meta as hell and a great addition to a lot of offensive and defensive cores. Earthquake > Ice Shard kills off Scizor and Genesect, while Icicle Spear hits hard on almost anything, even being able to break Skarmory under extremely lucky circumstances.
Running Life Orb with Shard, Spear, Quake, and Superpower makes him near unstoppable in a lot of situations. Be sure to lay your rocks down because he won't be able to OHKO a lot of stuff with Ice Shard without Rocks. The only stuff that really walls him is Skarm and Bronzong (and intimidate Gyara), even Rotom-W doesn't like switching into a Superpower or two. Pair him up with a bulky water which also remedies his Water weakness, and he absorbs all the Electric moves. Meanwhile, bulky waters get Skarm and Bronzong out of the way. I'd suggest a Gyarados, having tested it myself. It's a great revenge killer, he can take hits, 2HKO and OHKO a lot of the metagame, lay Rocks if you want, and generally kick ass. Good poke. |
Posted this set in the Anti-Metagame thread, might as well post it here too.
Mamoswine @ Life Orb Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Ice Shard - Icicle Spear/Icicle Crash - Superpower A couple of things; if you can afford to have another member on your team put down Stealth Rock, it gives you another slot for extra coverage. The main attacking move is obviously Earthquake since it has no drawbacks. Ice Shard is pretty obvious as well. Icicle Spear is interesting and I use it over Icicle Crash because of stuff like Sub/Roost Dragonite who thinks it can just Dragon Tail Mamoswine away. I rarely use it other than against something like Hippowdon but if you don't fear Sub/Roost Dragonite (or Zapdos) then Crash is probably the better option. For the last slot I chose Superpower which hits a good amount of stuff for a lot of damage, including Rotom-W, Balloon Heatran and Ferrothorn. You may have noticed that I use Jolly as well. This is mainly to beat Breloom. On the ladder I ran into a couple of Jolly Breloom who outspeed Adamant Mamoswine and KO with Mach Punch. My team was a little weak to Breloom so I switched to Jolly and I find it works much better for me. Some may miss the raw power of Adamant but for that particular team Jolly is superior. I also outspeed any Heatran which is pretty useful. |
The set does have flaws though. Endeavor is mostly worthless if Mamoswine can't activate its Sash or get into really low range. It also doesn't match up well against most leads, which is bad for a set reliant on Focus Sash. You lose out against Deoxys-D, against Genesect, against Cloyster (can't even pull your FEAR shenaningans against it), etc. You do have the nice ability to beat lead Terrakions that go for the Close Combat though. Unless they run Quick Attack. Which they don't, but I kind of want to see an increase of that since it's cool for sniping things like Dugtrio and Breloom (Breloom lives Jolly Close Combat most of the time). But sadly it is really really hard to deviate from CC / Stone Edge / Stealth Rock / Taunt because it's just so effective. Tangent aside, Rapid Spin support is useful for this set. Starmie's probably the most intuitive option since it can take on things like Keldeo without too much trouble. It also invites Volt Switches which can give Mamoswine a free switch-in if you handle it right. Forretress is another option, since you can do things like use Gyro Ball on Gengars that switch in recklessly, which makes Endeavor much much more effective. You can also lay down Spikes to complement Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes to let Endeavor kill most things without a follow-up Ice Shard, or Volt Switch to rack up hazard damage and wear down Jellicent (who, unlike Gengar, is not that difficult for Sash Mamoswine to muscle through with some prior damage). It's a neat set, I recommend giving it a shot. |
honestly, the sash set is a lot harder to get through than the LO set imo. I've always had more trouble beating the sash ones. That's because Mamoswine's coverage + priority is so useful that it's just very hard to get around without losing something and letting it get up rocks. It's kind of like Dugtrio in that there are a lot of pokes that can survive a hit (in this case ice shard instead of trio's weak eq) and OHKO, but very few can break the sash without being 2HKO'd before taking it down.
I love Mamoswine, but at the same time I hate it. Every time I build a team it seems that Mamoswine is always the biggest threat to my team. With Thick Fat, not even Air Balloon Heatran can check Mamoswine anymore. That STAB EQ and priority Ice Shard is seriously an extreme nuisance, and it seems that taking Mamoswine into consideration when building a team is crucial due to it's massive devastation it can cause to teams.
Also as ala said Jolly Mamoswine is great, and I almost always use it for a few more reasons then jolly breloom. Adamant Lucario and Toxicroak are both 2 key threats that jolly mamo also happens to outspeed, as well as out speeding opposing adamant mamo and speed tying with opposing jolly mamo. I have never noticed myself missing the extra power, as the targets that mamo was being used for were still being handily taken care of, and it added a few more pokemon that it beats to its list, so it was definitely worth the switch. |
I would never assume a Mamoswine was expert belted. I've seen Thunder wave RotomW gaining a lot of popularity meaning that they often Hydro Pump Mamo down to its sash and it dies.
I would like to know if someone is using Stone Edge, outside non-Scarfed sets. Stone Edge seems like a bad move, but it gives Mamoswine coverage on Gyarados and Volcarona, two threats that shouldn't be ignored. However, it has very little use outside of this. My team has little trouble with those Pokémon, so I am using Superpower.
I would also like to know some of the best partners for Mamoswine. Its amount of weakness and mediocre defenses are annoying. They always ruin my defensive synergy, and I generally only use Mamoswine when my team is very weak to things like Dragonite. Also, even with Thick Fat, it's actually hard for Mamoswine to survive many Fire-type attacks, especially when they are boosted by the sun, due to the aforementioned mediocre defenses. |
I don't like Focus Sash Endeavor Mamo at all, and i am very happy when i see it in the opposing team. If you can understand that it is the Sash set you can easily beat it with minimal casualties, and finding out it is the Sash set is usually easy. When i see an offensive team with Mamo as the only possible SR user (the other pokes will either be unable to learn it or don't usually carry it), this means that Mamo will more often than not be the Lead set. So just WoW it with Rotom-W and then kill with Hydro Pump, Leech Seed it with Ferrothorn and then OHKO it with Gyro Ball / Power Whip, or Toxic it with Poltitoed and then kill it with Scald. And the reason i love seeing this Mamo variant is because Xatu actually walls it and prevents SR from going up.
If you're running a high risk-high reward set like Sash lead Mamo, you'll obviously understand what stops it cold (like the pokemon you mentioned) and pair it with something that can take them out. You don't have to lead with it just so you can set SR on turn 1 if you see it's obviously not a good idea. This is true for any designed lead with entry hazards. |
Btw, Timid 252 SpA Heatran Flamethrower vs 6 HP Thick Fat Mamoswine:
So unless you're in sun, you won't be KO'd by any offensive variant using Flamethrower. |
My thoughts,
Mamoswine is amazing. My personal favorite set is Mamoswine @ Life Orb Trait: Thick Fat EV's: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Spe Adamant Nature - Ice Shard - Earthquake - Icicle Crash - Stone Edge / Stealth Rocks This set is purely offensive and in my experience one of the best sets. With it ice shard delivering a whopping hit, can easily OHKO most dragons, save for Dragonite with Multi Scale unless you use rocks. Given rocks or any other hazards, mamoswine, can be a great sweeper |
Mamo is definitely a threat to behold; it just counters so many pokemon that a team meaning to succeed can not be built without an answer to this guy. Dragons being so powerful and popular has definitely made Mamoswine have it's tusks full.
I agree with alexwolf that the Sash set is definitely a tricky one to use and an easy one to counter. If you get hazards up, it's fairly easy to handle since Mamoswine is a very hit and run type of pokemon. Break the sash with status or hazards, and then just use a semi powerful SE move to take it out. A cool partner for Mamoswine could definitely be Venusaur, who likes Heatran and Dragons gone. It can take fighting and water hits for Mamo, and dispose of bulky water types that can stop a Mamosweep. Mamo can also deal with dugtrio pretty well because of it's bulk, which helps keep Venusaur's Sun up. If you haven't tried Sun Mamo yet, you definitely should. |
Focus Sash Endeavor Mamoswine is definitely my favorite Mamoswine set in this metagame. It is a reliable hazard layer, and is almost always guaranteed to take a Pokemon down with it. Sure it lacks the power of CB or LO, but it makes up for it in utility.
Anyways, Mamoswine is pretty great as a whole in this metagame. It is a pretty great offensive check to Dragon-Types, which never hurts, and also does pretty well vs the Therians. Like CTC said Rotom-W is probably one of this guys biggest enemys atm. But aside from that and a few other Pokemon this guy has the chance to hit the entire metagame really hard and definitely not be overlooked. |
I've always found Life Orb to be the ideal item, although it usually takes me a while to find what Mamoswine set fits well on my team. What is everyones' opinion on Scarf Mamoswine?
Scarf Mamoswine's niche is too narrow for it to be worth using imo. Most of the things that are faster than it that it cares to hit are revenged by Ice Shard, anyway. The few instances where I can see Scarf being somewhat worth using were if you desperately needed a way to check a full health SD Garchomp/Lati twins or a CM Jirachi who had gotten a couple boosts and threatened to ko Mamoswine with a Rain boosted Water Pulse. I usually stick with the Sash Endeavor or LO sets when I use it.
I always found Mamo to be a bit Overrated because his resistances are so bad he is tough to get in other than revenge.
Still, Adamant Life Orb hits like a TRUCK. What is the point of Jolly, again? |
It let's you outspeed neutral nature base 90s.

MasterCard Worldwide Index of Women's Advancement
Women Still Missing from Top Jobs in Business, Government in Asia/Pacific: MasterCard Index
Women Highlight Affirmative Action, Seats in Parliament as Required Policies to Advance Their Role in Society; New Zealand a Stand Out in Advancing Role of Women
Click here to view the infographic
TWEET: #MasterCard Index finds that #women are still missing from top jobs in business & government in #AsiaPacific http://bit.ly/ZV5lYc
Singapore, 6 March 2013 – Women are still facing barriers to leadership positions in the government and private sector across the Asia/Pacific region, according to MasterCard's latest Index of Women's Advancement.
The MasterCard Worldwide Index of Women's Advancement measures the socioeconomic standing of women across Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The Index is comprised of three main indicators which are derived from additional sub-indicators: Employment (Workforce Participation, Regular Employment), Education (Secondary Education, Tertiary Education) and Leadership (Business Owners, Business Leaders, Political leaders). Each indicator measures the ratio of women to every 100 men in each of the 14 1 Asia/Pacific markets covered by the research.
Scores are indexed to 100 to indicate how close or how far women in each market are to achieving socio-economic parity with men. A score under 100 indicates gender inequality in favor of males while a score above 100 indicates inequality in favor of females. A score of 100 indicates equality between the sexes. The Index and its accompanying reports do not represent MasterCard financial performance.
Overall, amongst the 14 Asia/Pacific markets, New Zealand ranked first (77.8 Index Score), followed by Australia (76.0), the Philippines (70.5), Singapore (67.5) and Taiwan (64.7). At the other end of spectrum, India (38.0), Japan (48.1) and Korea (49.7) had Index scores indicating that much more can be done to achieve gender parity.
MasterCard's research on women's advancement shows that while more women have access to job opportunities and tertiary education in Asia/Pacific, there are still barriers preventing them from taking top positions in the government or private sector.
At 91.2, New Zealand tops the region for workforce participation and regular employment with over 90 women for every 100 men in the regular workforce. New Zealand women also lead the region for top jobs in the private sector and government with an overall leadership score of 51.6.
In 7 Asia/Pacific markets – China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam – women are on par or better represented in secondary and tertiary institutions than their male counterparts.
However, their representation in leadership roles in business and government is still low across the region. All but one market – New Zealand - had fewer than 50 women business/government leaders for every 100 male business/government leaders, according to the scores of the latest index. Across the 14 Asia/Pacific markets, only Australia (49.7) and the Philippines (45.6) came close to gender parity. Markets that scored especially low in this category include India (15.9) Japan (14.8), Korea (17.5) and Thailand (18.6).
Georgette Tan, group head, Communications, Asia/Pacific, Middle East & Africa, said: "There is still a lot to be done in our region to enhance the role of women across all aspects of society; there are still too few women leaders in government and business, and not enough women-owned and run businesses. There are standout markets which have repeatedly improved in terms of advancing opportunities and access for women, but more needs to be done."
When asked what would help improve women's societal standing, MasterCard's latest survey on Consumer Purchasing Priorities – Education found that women in Asia/Pacific view affirmative action (17.1%) and more seats in parliament (13.7%) as policies that would advance women's role in society. Parental childcare entitlement tops the list of key policy areas Australian, Japanese and South Korean women see as crucial for advancing women's role in society.
In China, Malaysia and Taiwan, however, women see SME opportunities as the most pressing need to achieve gender parity in their societies.
MasterCard will also be supporting the Women in Leadership Asia (WIL) Forum 2013 which is being held in Kuala Lumpur on 28-29 March 2013. Sophie Le Ray, founder of the WIL Series and naseba CEO commented: "I am very grateful to MasterCard for their continued support of the series in both the Middle East and Asia."
The scores above show the proportion of women to every 100 men for each category. Scores of over 100 are truncated to 100 when the overall Index score is derived, so as to ensure one component does not skew the overall Index score.

MasterCard and its Suite of Research Properties
The MasterCard Worldwide Index suite in Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa includes the long-running MasterCard Worldwide Index of Consumer Confidence, as well as the MasterCard Worldwide Index of Women's Advancement, Online Shopping, Index of Financial Literacy, and the Index of Global Destination Cities. In addition to the Indices, MasterCard's research properties also include a range of consumer surveys including Ethical Spending and a series on Consumer Purchasing Priorities (covering Travel, Dining & Entertainment, Education, Money Management, Luxury and General Shopping).

text: HILO, Hawaii (AP) — Under fire for primary election poll opening delays, Hawaii County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi says she has asked the governor for an independent review of the state elections office. She is also asking him to consider having the lieutenant governor's office oversee the office for the upcoming November general election. After a scathing state elections report blasting her leadership, Kawauchi continues to say the office should take responsibility for its role in the mishaps that led to the governor issuing a proclamation to keep Big Island polls open 90 minutes later. Kawauchi now says her concerns about the state elections office date back to September 2011. State officials could not immediately be reached for comment. The county council is expected to discuss the issue at a special meeting Monday.

West Union is on a three-game win streak after last weekend's appearance at the Booneville Tournament.
New Albany has stormed back after a 1-4 start, picking up four wins at the North Pontotoc Tournament over the weekend, including a victory over Tupelo, and enters division play at 5-4. "We've been struggling at the plate with timing, and we've seen two polar opposite pitching styles," New Albany coach Tom Zahller said. "We needed to see good, consistent pitching to get our timing back. Both games on Friday were real solid wins. "
Next Tuesday New Albany voters will decide a simple issue: whether to permit the sale of wine and spirits within the city limits.
On Monday, a different kind of Union County Tournament took place at East Union. It didn't involve basketball or any of the other major sports for that matter. Instead, it was archers from three schools, calmly stepping to the line, exhibiting great focus and concentration, shooting to be the best in the county in archery.
New Albany tennis split two matches last week, defeating Pontotoc, 6-1, and falling to Oxford, 7-0. Below are the results for the match at Oxford. Boys singles: Quinn Elliott (O),defeated New Albany's Parker Nail, 6-1,6-2 Boys doubles: Baxter Elliott-Robert Nance(O) defeated Christian Scott- Christopher Scott 6-3,6-3; Will Swindoll-Callan Shinall (O) defeated Micheal Crotts-Christopher Shands 6-3,6-1 Girls Singles: Grace Ann Jones (O) defeated Elleigh Hall 6-2,6-0
Alcorn Central used a three-run fifth inning to move past Myrtle, winning 4-2 on Saturday. The Bears struck first, stealing home and taking the 1-0 lead. The Hawks quickly answered in the bottom of the frame, placing runners on the corners and Anthony Lipsey coming home on a wild pitch to tie the game.
President Obama signed Thursday the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which was originally passed in 1994 under the leadership of then Sen. Joe Biden.
It wasn't my idea of fun-filled Saturday night. But there we were. Jenny and I found ourselves slowly nudging our way up North Gloster Street in Tupelo, with what must have been a couple thousand other cars.
The Tallahatchie River Players, our community theater group, is presenting "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" this weekend at the Cine Theater in the Magnolia Civic Center.
East Union picked up its second win in a row on Monday night, defeating county rival West Union, 16-0, on the road.

I just saw a report that said only 14% of Australian women breastfeed up to 6 months which means there must be a lot of us bottlefeeders out there. Now I'm curious as to why each of us went down the bottlefeeding path. I'm guessing for some of us it was a choice whereas for others it was a necessity.
I bottlefeed because I didn't produce enough milk. Though I must say being able to take a break while DH does a feed is an added benefit!

AFP International Webinar "Fundraising from Canada" with Mark Blumberg
Published under: Canadian Charity Law | Fundraising Guidance for Registered Charities
Here is information on a webinar that I will be delivering with AFP International entitled "Fundraising from Canada" on May 22, 1-2:30 p.m. ET.
Fundraising from Canada
Ever confused by how to deal with Canadian supporters? The program will briefly introduce participants to the Canadian charitable sector which has total revenue of about $182 billion including fundraising revenue of about $13 billion. It will discuss fundraising in Canada by US and other foreign charities focusing on the various options available to these charities for fundraising in Canada with pros and cons of each. It will discuss issues with establishing a Canadian registered charity that can issue tax receipts to Canadian donors and some of the obligations of such entity. It will also specifically focus on compliance issues with the regulation of fundraising in Canada.
In this session:
•Be aware of opportunities for fundraising in Canada and how they differ from the US.
•Understand that depending on the specific type of institution in the US and the type of donor there are various options for supporting US charities and/or programs run by such charities;
•Will be aware of when a "Canadian Friends of" organization may be appropriate to establish;
•Understand the various compliance requirements when operating in Canada for a Canadian Friends Organization including those relating to fundraising, receipting and foreign activities
Target Audience
Fundraisers and charities outside of Canada who may be considering fundraising initiatives in Canada. The presentation will not assume participants have any knowledge of this matter. Any charity who is outside of Canada and has or wishes to create supporters in Canada for their work will find the presentation useful.
About the Presenter:
Mark Blumberg is a partner at Blumberg Segal LLP in Toronto, Canada, and works almost exclusively with Canadian charities operating in Canada and foreign charities fundraising in Canada.

Big Band Report
Deck the Halls with Big Band Carols
With the holiday season on track and hastening toward us like a runaway locomotive, it's time once again to hunker down and prepare for the annual onslaught of "Rudolph," "Frosty the Snowman," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," "Sleigh Ride," "Silver Bells," chestnuts roasting on an open fire and everyone's perennial favorite, "White Christmas." Not to mention the many traditional songs of praise that help to make the season bright. There was a time not long ago when big bands were all but absent from the holiday music scene save for backing singers like Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Perry Como or Rosie Clooney, but after years of hibernation they've come back strong, bedecking the seasonal themes in splendid new garments designed to put anyone in a suitably cheerful holiday mood.
How do I know that? I'm glad you asked, as the proof is at hand and about to be shared. In other words, I've chosen from the CD library 26 holiday-centered big-band albums that would make even Ebenezer Scrooge or Buster Keaton smile. Herewith a few words about each.
Even though all are performed by large ensembles, there are only three albums named Big Band Christmasby Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass; the Chris McDonald Big Band; and Britain's National Youth Jazz Orchestra. The Boss Brass list five songs with "Christmas" in the title, McDonald four, NYJO three. McConnell's disc is comprised primarily of more contemporary themes such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "Let It Snow," "White Christmas," "The Christmas Song" and even "My Favorite Things," although it does embrace the more traditional "Away in a Manger," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Silent Night," "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Joy to the World." As all the charts are McConnell's there's no need to debate quality, as that goes without saying.
McDonald, on the other hand, is, I suspect, unknown to most listeners, even those who are closely attuned to big-band jazz. Not to worry; he's one of the finest arrangers of hymns, carols and other seasonal music I've ever heard, as he shows on "Sleigh Ride," "White Christmas," "Blue Christmas," "The Little Drummer Boy" (arranged like Louis Prima's "Sing, Sing, Sing"), "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Let It Snow" and such established themes as "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Silent Night," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "Angels We Have Heard on High." In the holiday music sweepstakes, an unequivocal winner.
NYJO's album, recorded in 1989, opens with a lively rendition of "Deck the Halls" and doesn't ease up until the last swashbuckling bars of "Hark! The Herald Angels Swing." That's not the only title with which the band takes liberties; others include "I Saw Six Ships," "Wenceslas Squared," "The ThirstNo Ale," "Take Five Kings" and "I Left My Heart in Royal David's City." NYJO has a second holiday album, A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, recorded four years later, that includes such send-ups as "Bethlehem Lift Off," "While Shepherds Waved," "Angels from the Second Story," "Childstones" (a.k.a. "What Child Is This?") and "The Twelve Bars of Christmas." As is always true of NYJO, the charts are captivating and the musicianship impeccable, notwithstanding the band's 25 year upper age limit.
Two albums are devoted to the seasonal music of the Stan Kenton Orchestra, A Stan Kenton Christmas by the Capitol Bones, and Well Seasoned by Britain's top-drawer Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra. Mark Taylor, an arranger for the U.S. Army Blues, directs the 'Bones in a program comprised mainly of traditional hymns plus Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time Is Here" (from the Charlie Brown TV specials), "My Favorite Things," "The Christmas Song" and "Big Bad Drummin' Dude" (their version of "The Little Drummer Boy") featuring the Blues' Steve Fidyk. Eight of the fifteen numbers were arranged by Ralph Carmichael, three by trombonist Matt Niess, one each by Taylor, guitarist Jim Roberts, pianist Tony Nalker and Kenton himself ("Adeste Fidelis"). The music is reminiscent of the Kenton orchestra, as is that on Well Seasoned, the first half of which is devoted to jazzier themes such as "Groove Blues," "Chelsea Bridge," "Manteca" and "There Will Never Be Another You." Carmichael arranged nine of the eleven holiday tunes, complementing Kenton's "Adeste Fideles" and Bob Florence's "Auld Lang Syne." Each of the albums has much to recommend it.

Alcohol Bill drives change in NZ's drinking culture
Changes to the Alcohol Reform Bill, set to return to Parliament for final consideration next month, aim to drive a change in our drinking culture, says Justice Minister Judith Collins.
Ms Collins says the Bill contains a broad set of measures to reduce alcohol-related harm in our communities.
"Problem drinking is a major contributor to crime and a significant cause of public disorder and health problems in New Zealand communities.
"The Alcohol Reform Bill will address these problems. It will empower local communities to determine where and how alcohol is sold, increase personal and parental responsibility for the supply of alcohol and introduce a risk-based licence fee regime.
"It reduces availability of and access to alcohol, for example by stopping sales from dairies and convenience stores. A split purchase age of 18 for on-licence premises such as bars, restaurants and 20 for off-licences such as supermarkets and liquor stores is proposed.
"Together, these reforms will target the causes of problem drinking, without punishing moderate and responsible drinkers. The changes support a shift drinking culture, away from drinking to excess, towards responsible, moderate alcohol consumption," said Ms Collins.
The Bill was introduced to Parliament in November 2010 and was reported back from Parliament's Justice and Electoral Committee in August 2011.
Ms Collins said the government has since addressed detailed policy issues arising from the Bill and the select committee recommendations, and is now ready to progress the Bill through its remaining stages in Parliament.
Parliament will consider the proposed split purchase age as a conscience vote during committee stage consideration of the Bill.
Key proposals in the Bill include:
A split purchase age – purchase age to be increased to 20 for off-licence retailers such as liquor stores, supermarkets and grocery stores, but remains at 18 for on-licences such as restaurants, bars and clubs where drinking takes place in a controlled environment.
A risk-based licence regime – licence fees will reflect risk factors such as type and capacity of venue, trading hours and previous conduct of a licensee. Low-risk premises such as wineries will pay the lowest fees.
Parents and guardians will be responsible for their children's drinking – it will be an offence for anyone else to supply alcohol to an under-18-year-old unless they have the parent's or guardian's express consent, and must do so responsibly. Supply of alcohol to minors without consent or in an irresponsible manner may be liable for a fine of up to $2000.
Local communities will have more say about where and when alcohol can be sold – local authorities will be able to limit the sale of alcohol, set conditions on licences and there will be broader criteria for objecting to alcohol licence applications, through local area plans.
Liquor licences will be harder to get and easier to lose – licences will be harder to get through local alcohol policies and broader criteria for objecting to licence applications, and licensees and managers who persistently fail to comply with the law will lose their licences.
Tighter restrictions on the types of premises that can sell alcohol and when they can sell it – dairies and convenience stores won't be able to sell alcohol. There will be national maximum hours for alcohol sales.
Tighter restrictions on the irresponsible promotion of alcohol – especially irresponsible promotion that targets young people.
