As a church, we are committed to living out the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. The baptism of those who have put their faith and trust in Christ is a joyful and wonderful occasion in the life of the church and in the life of the Christian believer.
Baptism marks a significant public occasion for those who have committed their lives to Christ and seek to be one of his disciples and faithful followers.
In baptism, Christians make firm promises and commitments including the following:-
Do you turn to Christ as Saviour?
Do you submit to Christ as Lord?
Do you come to Christ, the way, the truth and the life?
For families who are committed to regular worship at St Giles, we also offer infant baptism. Parents make similar promises, along with godparents. These include:-
Will you pray for him, draw him by your example into the community of faith and walk with him in the way of Christ?
With the help of God, we will.
Will you care for him and help him to take his place within the life and worship of Christ's Church?
For those who are not presently committed followers of Jesus, we'd love to get to know you and you'd be most welcome to come along and meet us at one of our worship services.
We also run the Alpha Course to help people to explore the Christian faith and we'd love to welcome you to the course.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is known for his practiced soft-spoken brevity, but he startled quite a few people on Tuesday — and not just Republican critics — when he responded to a question about particular rulings of Judge Sonia Sotomayor: "I understand that during her career, she's written hundreds and hundreds of opinions. I haven't read a single one of them. And if I'm fortunate before we end this, I won't have to read one of them."
Of course as he uttered that whimsical wish, if you will, Republican senators were publicly trying to lay the arguments for a lengthy confirmation process, citing their need to read the judge's 3,600 opinions — let alone her law journal articles and speeches over the course of her career. Democrats pushed back for a speedier process that would end by the August recess, and resurrected a quote from Senator Jeff Sessions, now the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee. In 2005, when he urged for quick confirmation of Samuel Alito, Mr. Sessions said: ""We don't need to read everything he has written."
Neither we guess would the majority leader. But we won't be the first to ask — the Volokh Conspiracy law blog has already jumped in, but we wondered whether our readers wanted to recommend which of Judge Sotomayor's opinions ought to be stacked on the night stand of Senator Reid, or for that matter, any other senator poring over such a long record.
We've posted a list of some of her decisions up on our Web site, to help you choose.
As for Mr. Reid, we're told he is of course reviewing the judge's files. His spokesman, Jim Manley, said: "Senator Reid is well-versed in her record and familiar with her background. He has read through research material, talked with Senator Leahy and staff and will of course read whatever else is necessary to prepare for her confirmation hearings."
Two points we'd note if you're game:
One, don't cite the Ricci case as one that Judge Sotomayor wrote; she served on a panel that affirmed, in an exceptionally cursory way, a lower court ruling. It's not publicly known who wrote the short order. (The underlying rulings, however, are certainly on the reading list of the Supreme Court right now and may well be required for anyone else interested.)
Two, Senator Reid specifically was asked whether he was familiar with a case that gun-rights advocates keep asserting demonstrates her opposition to their cause. In another unsigned decision by a panel, she was among the judges who rejected a Second Amendment challenge to a New York law prohibiting the possession of chukka sticks, two sticks joined by a rope or chain that can be used as a weapon.
The judges decided that last year's Supreme Court ruling establishing an individual right to bear arms in the case involving Washington, D.C., had not yet been applied to the states. The Second Circuit's decision may well reach the Supreme Court, or perhaps would be twinned up with a decision on Tuesday by the Seventh Circuit out of Chicago.
The Chicago decision, which was written by Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook and joined by leading conservative Judge Richard Posner, reached a conclusion similar to that of Judge Sotomayor's panel. The Washington Post and other publications quote legal experts and others who are using the Chicago decision to assert that it may deflate whatever sway the gun-rights lobby might have had against Ms. Sotomayor's nomination. That's a point still up for debate, as a headline at National Review Online contends: "Sonia Sotomayor is no Frank Easterbrook."

When? It's the big question. When will I be cycling out of Dakar following the machete attack that left gashes in my left wrist and foot just over a week ago? I've been asking myself this every day since waking up from the operation. The simple and frustrating answer is I don't know.
The good news is that I'm walking again. For the first three days following the attack I took permanent residence on my host's sofa. When crutches finally became available (courtesy of the magical French woman who rescued me at the roadside) I was already hobbling around, and soon after walking with a limp. This is fast disappearing.
There is no significant damage resulting from the machete slash to my foot. In fact my left sandle appears to have taken the full brunt, with a deep cut into the side of the rubber sole. "You will need some new sandles then", is the first thing my Mum said when I told her.
It is my wrist that's the problem. The doctor paid his first visit three days after the operation, confirming that three tendons had been severed. These are the tendons that control my three middle fingers. At first I couldn't move them, but the doctor reassured me in saying there would be no permanent damage resulting from the wounds. The nerves were left untouched and over the past several days I have gradually been able to move these fingers with increasing mobility.
When I asked how long it would be before I could ride my bike the answer was one month minimum. Perhaps if I was riding an unladen bike for 10 minutes in a park this would be the case. As much as I'd like to prove myself wrong, I feel the reality of cycling on African roads on a solo trip of this nature means the time period will be much longer. I won't leave Dakar until I'm 100%++ fit and strong. For anyone reading who feels they can offer a second opinion, be it medical-based or just an experience of having damaged/torn tendons before, I would appreciate your comments here.
My wrist is in a bandaged splint and will be for the next two weeks. Following that it will require a lot of physiotherapy to regain the strength and mobility I need to continue. The thought of the tendons twinging and breaking again out on the road makes me nervous.
The patience required to get through this healing process may be one of the greatest challenges I'll face on this trip. It's a challenge I've never encountered.
I'm still heading to The Gambia to meet my Mum on April 6th. It's a holiday she booked months ago and the distance from here is short. I will leave the bicycle and most of my gear in Dakar and have a clearer idea after that two week holiday of an estimated date of departure.
The hospitality, generosity and support of my hosts here has made life in Dakar unimaginably more comfortable than had I been returning to a budget hotel following my discharge from the hospital. In fact I probably would have gone home, and if full recovery is likely to be many months away rather than weeks, this may be a better option. It is something I have yet to decide.
The police have yet to report back on the theft of my SLR camera and other belongings. This comes as no surprise. My insurance won't cover full cost of the camera equipment, but as photography plays an important part in the trip I'm reluctant to make do with a cheap point-and-shoot.
Rather than sitting around feeling sorry for myself and thinking where I might now be had I let go of those bags, I'm determined to use this recovery time constructively. Studying French, researching ways to improve my photography, editing videos from the clips I've taken over the months, writing gear reviews and possible articles – there's much that can be done whilst those tendons are on the mend.
If there is something you'd like to ask, about any aspect of the trip or website, please don't hesitate to get in contact. Now is as good a time as ever to catch my attention.
I'll continue tweeting over the days and weeks and be sure to post back with more news on my recovery. Remember you can always receive this post as an e-mail by subscribing to the newsletter.
Donations to the Against Malaria Foundation are greatly received and always a boost to the motivation of the journey – 100% of funds go on the purchase of insecticide treated mosquito nets.
Before closing I want to thank those who've left comments in the previous post. It's really encouraging and motivating to read all the well-wishes and know that people are following the journey.

Valley Voters Organized Toward Empowerment Collection, 1978-2003 | Special Collections & Archives
The Valley Voters Organized Toward Empowerment Collection documents the efforts of the San Fernando Valley residents who, from 1997-2002, attempted to secede from the city of Los Angeles to form a separate municipality. The collection includes their petition drive, the investigation conducted by the Local Agency Formation Commission for the County of Los Angeles (LAFCO), and the Measure F campaign which allowed Los Angeles residents to vote on the issue.
The collection is divided into four series: Organizing Files (1978-2003), Local Agency Formation Commission of Los Angeles County Investigation (1998-2003), City of Los Angeles (1994-2002), and Reorganization Efforts of Nearby Communities (1994-2002).
Series I, Organizing Files, documents Valley VOTE's grassroots efforts to create an autonomous municipality in the San Fernando Valley. The series is further divided into four subseries: Administrative Files (1992-2003), Outreach and Events (1997-2003), Special Issues (1987-2002), and Independent Reports and Publications (1978-2002). Subseries A, Administrative Files, consists of correspondence, Valley VOTE meeting agendas and minutes, research materials such as maps, legislature, and reports, housekeeping files, materials from affiliated organizations, and press coverage related to Valley VOTE's secession efforts beginning just before the initial petition drive in 1997 through the conclusion of the 2002 general election, including an audio recording of KRLA Radio 870's "Legal Challenges." Also included are materials documenting the candidates of local elections, including those running for office in the proposed new valley city. The files are arranged alphabetically according to subject and chronologically within. Subseries B, Outreach and Events, documents Valley VOTE's promotional activities and volunteer efforts, including a letter writing campaign to Governor Wilson regarding Assembly Bill 62, the petition drive to initiate the LAFCO investigation, public submissions to rename the new valley city, and the Measure F Campaign. Contact lists, volunteer lists, event fliers and calendars, promotional handouts and forms, press kits, and campaign brochures are also included. The files are arranged alphabetically according to subject and chronologically within. Subseries C, Special Issues, consists of those files identified by Valley VOTE as a special issue to their organizing efforts. The files maintain Valley VOTE's original naming conventions and are arranged alphabetically according to subject and chronologically within. Subseries D, Independent Reports and Publications, consists of publications on the topic of valley secession authored by individuals or organizations not directly tied to Valley VOTE's operations. Authors include the League of Women Voters, the Rose Institute of State and Local Government, the Committee Investigating Valley Independent City/County, the Symposium on Rightsizing Local and Regional Government, the Economic Alliance of the San Fernando Valley, California State University Northridge, California State University Sacramento, University of California Los Angeles, Harvard University, and scholars of political science, public policy, and economics. The files are arranged chronologically. For news publications, see Series I, Subseries A.
Series II, Local Agency Formation Commission of Los Angeles County Investigation, documents the formal investigation conducted by LAFCO which was initiated by Valley VOTE's Application for Special Reorganization petition drive. It consists primarily of reports submitted to LAFCO by Valley VOTE and the City of Los Angeles to determine the feasibility of detaching the San Fernando Valley from Los Angeles. Reports cover the reorganization plan and proposal, the initial and comprehensive fiscal analysis, environmental impact, as well as follow-up comments and negotiations of Valley VOTE, city officials, and LAFCO's executive officer. Related meeting materials and correspondence are also included as well as audio recordings of several LAFCO proceedings and an audo recording of a special workshop on reorganization for LAFCO Commissioners. The files are arranged alphabetically according to subject and chronologically within.
Series III, City of Los Angeles, documents aspects of the city's involvement in the secession movement and consists primarily of expenditure reports of various municipal departments. Organizational charts and meeting materials of the city's Ad Hoc Committee on Secession are also included, as well as a cost burden analysis conducted by an independent consultant on behalf of the city. The files are arranged alphabetically according to subject and chronologically within.
Series IV, Reorganization Efforts of Nearby Communities, documents the secession efforts of other communities in Los Angeles with a predominant focus on Hollywood and the Harbor Area. The series includes promotional materials, maps, and correspondence as well as some of the formal reports submitted to the county for separate investigation. Additional Harbor reports can be found in Series II and are labeled as such for easy identification. The files are arranged alphabetically according to subject and chronologically within.

We usually do our best and most efficient work on vehicles with which we're familiar, but there are times when even the ones we know the best can smack us around – particularly if we make the wrong choices. But in the midst of troubleshooting and repair, we usually learn the most from our errors. An old cowboy proverb I read years ago can be paraphrased by the statement that we usually learn good judgment after having experienced the negative results of bad judgment. In the world of automotive electronics, that good judgment learning curve can be deep and steep, even if we've already fixed a multitude of vehicles, and I've been in this business for more than 40 years now.

The F-150 and the not-so-perfect storm
A 2003 four-wheel drive F-150 5.4L with 213,654 miles was one of those bad-judgment learning curves. Sometimes trying to save a customer some money costs us a heck of a lot of work. This was a windshield wiper concern. How hard could it be? Somebody had already replaced the multi-function switch, too.
|This 2003 F150 is in pretty good shape, but you don't need to drive in the rain without wipers and so here it is.
For the last 20-plus years on these F-150s, the wiper system has its switch (part of the multifunction switch) wired to a dedicated control circuit in the Generic Electronic Module (GEM), and three relays in the underhood fuse box; one for low speed, one for high speed and a third relay for the washer motor. The algorithms in the GEM module software are supposed provide the relays with their marching orders based on the chosen switch position.
The wiper switch portion of the GEM module's IDS datastream screen is a long tracking bar that has failure areas on each end and normal switch positions in the middle. As we cycled the switch through its positions, the IDS put shadow tracks in all the right places and none of the wrong ones, indicating that the GEM was reading crisp, accurate commands. So far, so good, but still no wipers.
I was able to turn the wipers on by telling the IDS to activate the wiper relay, and when I then activated the speed relay, the wipers would go into high gear. When I turned the wiper relay off, the wipers would park. I could select the washer pump relay and the pump would wet the windshield with its spray.
Removing the steering column shrouds, we found the square connector crumbling, so we bought a replacement pigtail and put it in place with solder and heat shrink to no avail – the wipers still didn't work. As an experiment, we had the parts store send a new switch, because these switches look exactly alike from year to year but are different internally – I found that out the hard way when I was at the dealer. From previous experience I discovered that a '98 switch won't work on a '99 model, and so on. You must use the right switch. Period. The new switch changed nothing, so we sent it back.
So why wouldn't the GEM activate the relays when commanded by the switch if the IDS indicated that it was receiving (and reporting) the switch commands? This had to be a problem within the GEM module, and I usually get black boxes from the salvage yard when I can, sometimes because replacement modules aren't available at the dealer and sometimes because the replacements are so expensive. So, I gave the salvage yard the number that was on the old module's sticker and bought a $65 used module that was supposed be the right one. The sticker on the replacement did say it was for a 4-wheel drive F-150, but it didn't have the same prefix and suffix numbers as the original module.
We used the IDS "Programmable Module Installation" feature to save the existing module's data in the Toughbook, and then we installed the replacement module (which rides piggyback on the fuse panel in true Ford style) and did the requisite data dump into it from the IDS. Well, we got an error message. Was this even doable with a used module? I wasn't sure. We were in discovery mode. With the used replacement module in play, you could turn the wipers on first low and then high and they would work, but when you turned the wipers off, they would remain on high, and sometimes the washer would randomly start spraying.
I had installed new/rebuilt GEM modules like this, but this was the first time I have ever tried to install a used GEM module like this. Was it a bad idea? It was beginning to look that way.
At this juncture it was evident that this module obviously wasn't going to work for us on this job, but it did let us know we were moving in the right direction. The salvage yard said that there was another module at their warehouse that did have the right prefix and suffix numbers, but we ran into a hiatus on that one because Michael the hurricane washed that warehouse away the next day, so we had to wait for the next GEM module. But when it arrived and we did the Programmable Module Installation again, we got a different error message and different errors. This time, the wipers worked almost perfectly but the power windows didn't because the GEM module wouldn't turn on the accessory delay relay. We had wipers but no windows. We So we were back to square one. The discovery was that, in this case, it would have been smarter to begin with a refurbished module from the Ford dealer.
A '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee
This Jeep wasn't a discovery and judgment case, but it bears mention. It came to us with a non-functional A/C system and no compressor operation. This was The Neutronics identifier showed us nothing but air in the system, and so we ran a 15-minute vacuum, didn't see appreciable vacuum decay, and went on to shove the requisite amount of cold stuff into the piping. The A/C worked at this point, but we knew there was a leak somewhere, else it wouldn't have been empty to start with.

Spiritual Practices
by Stuart Wilde
Here is a beautiful spiritual practice that I have not mentioned for a while. It is very powerful and protective.
The Dies Irea
Lay down head to the north, feet to the south facing up. Visualize winged, angelic beings all around you, above you and below you, under you through the floor. This is important as much trouble and evil from the Aluna comes up through the floor, as well as to your right from the direction of NNE when you are facing north.
The evil is up 17 1/2 degrees from the level plane. It is a dimension of hatred and jealousy and self-importance that I named "17-up-right". We term hyper-state dimensions we see from the directional vectors they are on, like the UFOs come from a vector at SSW that I named 240-down.
Play the video (for the sound track) and meditate to it asking for protection, it's about 6 mins+ long. When you are very relaxed or deeply in trance, ask a question but only one and write it down before you start. Make it short. Long rambling questions never get an answer.
Where do I go?
What do I do?
What about the bloody boy friend?
Then wait for what you hear or whatever "download blip" you might get that you unravel in your feelings later.
Pray for protection at the start of this and be humble and pray for forgiveness for your crimes.

So if you're ready to achieve that thin body and you're just looking for the right diet, here are some things you can do to make the search a lot easier.
It does take some energy to do this, but clients want to buy from someone they like and trust. The best way to establish this is to find the common ground and relate to them.
Fred Meyer Butter It's not! Sweet Cream Buttermilk spread comes in a yellow 15 ounce plastic tub, and states that it is made from 70% vegetable oil. It also claims that it is made with sweet cream buttermilk. The margarine's or spreads that i normally buy do not contain any trans fats, which according to my family doctor are the worst types of fats because they clog the arteries. I didn't notice until I got home that Fred Meyer Butter It's not! Sweet Cream Buttermilk spread does contain 1 gram of trans fat per serving, (a serving is one tablespoon). It also has 10 grams of total fat and 2 grams of saturated fat.
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This hormone naturally found in men and women. However, it is scientifically found out that HCG hormone levels are highest during pregnancy of a woman. This hormone has dual benefits. Firstly it maintains the progesterone production which is dangerous in pregnancy. And secondly it helps in weight loss as well.
It's no wonder that we all have trouble dropping unwanted pounds. We ask ourselves "Why can't I lose weight? What am I doing wrong?" It's not US that's the problem. It's our diets. There are 3 reasons why diets Fail.
Commercial liquids diets are more popular among the people all over the world as it replaces 1-2 meals daily. The liquids that are intake contain very low fats and calories. These diet plans are used to get fast weight loss.
Remember that walking burns about 108 calories in 30 minutes. Small walks count too. Even if you don't have time to walk 30 minutes in one session each day, shorter walks that add up to 30 minutes will still burn that same 108 calories.
Maybe you think that using diet pills is the fastest way to lose weight. Diet pills can be dangerous and cause all kinds of side effects. Why not lose weight naturally, by learning how fat burning foods work? It's the easiest way to drop those unwanted pounds that exists. The best thing about a fat burning diet is that you keep the weight off forever.

Wallace, Mary
Volume 21 Number 2
Wondering what to do with your old shoes? Make a four-shoe-footstool! Mary Wallace's book, How to Make Great Stuff for 'Your Room, is the kid's answer to redecorating. It shows the young designer how to recycle things around the house to create a fun environment.
Stuff a sausage chair. Turn old clothes into a braided rug. Weave a lampshade. Create personalized picture frames and artwork. Transform a bed with a headboard, designer and tie-dyed sheets, and a one-of-a-kind comforter cover.
A bulletin board, a paper-tube wall shelf for tiny knickknacks, a knotted hammock for all those stuffed animals, innovative clothes hangers, and laundry gobblers help the young designer to organize things. And Mary Wallace doesn't stop there. Walls, floors, ceilings, doors and windows are also given the designer treatment. A variety of crafts and skills are incorporated. Adult assistance is required for some of the projects.
The directions are easy to follow and are accompanied by black-and-white line drawings. Each project includes sections that describe the materials needed, preparation, numbered instructions, and variations on the project. The directions are shown complete on two facing pages. Four pages of colour photographs in the centre of the book show completed projects. A table of contents and an index are included.
How to Make Great Stuff for your Room is the companion book to Mary Wallace's first book, How to Make Great Stuff to Wear.

The child was with a family member at the time of the incident. Police say the child's prognosis is unknown.

Scientists have developed a tool for identifying diabetes patients who are at the highest risk for being admitted to a hospital due to very low blood sugar.
Scientists have developed a tool for identifying diabetes patients who are at the highest risk for being admitted to a hospital due to very low blood sugar. "Sometimes a person with diabetes is unaware that their blood sugar is dropping and can progress quickly into severe hypoglycemia, which has been associated with falls, automobile accidents, heart attacks, coma, and even death," said Andrew J Karter from the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in the US. "Hypoglycemia is often preventable with the proper clinical attention, and we believe this tool will help focus that attention on the patients who most need it," said Karter, lead author of the study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. The researchers developed the hypoglycemia risk stratification tool by identifying 156 possible risk factors for hypoglycemia and collecting data from more than 200,000 patients with type 2 diabetes. Using machine-learning analytical techniques, they developed a model to predict a patient's 12-month risk of hypoglycemia-related emergency department or hospital use.
The final model was based on six variables: number of prior episodes of hypoglycemia-related hospitalisations; use of insulin; use of sulfonylurea (an oral medication commonly used to treat diabetes); severe kidney disease; number of emergency visits for any reason in the past year; and age. Based on the model, the researchers created a practical tool to categorise patients into high (greater than five per cent), intermediate (1 to 5 per cent) or low (less than 1 per cent) annual risk of hypoglycemia-related emergency department or hospital utilisation.
"The tool was then validated with data from more than 1.3 million members of the US Veterans Health Administration and nearly 15,000 Kaiser Permanente members in Washington state with type 2 diabetes," researchers said.

Elementary school staff is providing a program to introduce students to the arts. Meet the Masters is a series of lessons that teaches students about the cultural and historical significance of artists and their work.
Cottonwood School is introducing second through fifth grade students to the new program. Students focus on one artist for two weeks. The first week, Dawn Collins, a teacher at Cottonwood teaches students about the artist's biography, the cultural atmosphere at that time, famous artwork, and vocabulary describing their work.
The second week, students are given the opportunity to make a version of one of the artist's pieces of work. For example, Cottonwood students were learning about Frederic Remington. Remington is most known for his depiction of the Old American West. Mrs. Collins walked students step-by-step through an art project that depicted the Old West. During the art classes, ASB students from the middle school walk around and help students with their project.
Hamilton School has been utilizing the Meet the Master's program for five years. Carol Robilotta, Principal, invites students to an assembly to learn about a new artist. Students are able to learn about the artist's influences, life goals, and descriptive vocabulary to describe the artist's work. Throughout the presentation, Robilotta asks students how certain paintings or sculptures make student's feel and what the artists was trying to represent through their works of art. After the presentation, students are asked questions about what they learned about the artist and their artwork. Students are released to their classrooms where they work on an art project that represents the artist's genre of artwork.
Principal Robilotta said she is always surprised by the amount of information students are able to retain about each artist. During the last Meet the Masters assembly she asked students about Fredrick Remington, an artist student's learned about when they were in Kindergarten, and was shocked when they were able to answer the question.
Educators are continually working to keep all students engaged. With this program staff is able to connect to more of its students by providing another avenue of creativity. Both Cottonwood and Hamilton Schools are excited by the opportunities this program is giving its students.

Thousands of Hazara protesters have descended on Government House in Canberra where Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani is meeting with Governor-General Peter Cosgrove.
The protesters, many of whom travelled from interstate, demanded Australia and Afghanistan revisit a 2011 deal to send failed Afghan asylum seekers back.
They are urging the Turnbull government to refuse any such deals to send asylum seekers and refugees to Afghanistan.
Barat Ali Batoor, a young Hazara photographer driven from Afghanistan by civil war, said security in the country had changed dramatically since the agreement was reached.
"Afghanistan is extremely dangerous for the Hazaras if they are forced or voluntarily deported to Afghanistan," he told AAP on Monday.
Mr Batoor said one Hazara man was deported from Adelaide to Afghanistan last week.
"There is an extremely high risk of being targeted there," he said.
The protesters also want assurances Hazaras are kept safe in Afghanistan, saying the community has been subjected to systemic discrimination, genocide and ethnic cleansing.
"Hazaras have been systematically discriminated against for a very long period and during President Ghani's (time in power) it has spread widely," Mr Batoor said.
"Peaceful rallies there have been hit by suicide and targeted attacks."
Inside the official residence in Yarralumla, Sir Peter and Dr Ghani inspected Australia's military guard before stepping inside for formal discussions.
The pair exchanged pleasantries about Canberra's dreary weather and the last time they met before their topic of conversation took a more personal turn.
"You look good," Dr Ghani told the governor-general as the pair took their seats.
"Since last time I saw you, I've probably taken off quite a bit of weight," Sir Peter replied.
"How much?" the president asked.
"About 22kg ... I just did it deliberately because I wanted to be energetic in this job," Sir Peter said.
Dr Ghani's four-day visit to Australia - the first by an Afghan president - will wrap up on Wednesday.

Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Oho?? Trying to pun-up me, huh? Well, I can say with certpunty that it won't work. Let's show em how it's pun, Opa!!
Let's start off with a good old Thief, shortly followed by a Swagger, then round it all off with a Flame Charge. If Relic uses Protect or Double Team at any point, then use Focus Energy if it's on the first action, Double Team if it's on the second, and Sunny Day if it's on the third.

(Also, thank you Jack, for taking on our battle!!)
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Preemptive Swagger sound good to you? It does to me, so start with that. Then get inside the building. If at this point you are confused, chill. If not, use this time to enlighten yourself by using Calm Mind.

Thanks for picking this battle so quickly, JackPK!

Cynder vs Stryke: Round One
Format: 3v3; Singles
Style: Switch
DQ: 1 month
Damage Cap: 40
Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKOs, Perish Song, Moves that knock the user out.
Arena Description: Olivines Lighthouse
This arena is split into multiple different areas, and Pokémon in different areas cant attack each other.
Based on the lighthouse in SoulSilver, the description is for anyone who doesnt have the game.
The Pokémon League of Asber is a little quiet lately, but that isnt stopping a pair of battlers with just a little experience under their collective belts as they decide to bring the leagues uniquely destructive brand of battling to an iconic Johto landmark the Olivine Lighthouse. The citizens hold their breath in a mix of excitement and dread as the battlers approach its only been a few months since another pair of Asber Trainers shattered some windows in the nearby Battle Tower, and its with cautious interest that the citizens hope for similarly tame results.
The referee marks out the opening boundaries of the match, although theyre sure to expand as the Pokémon move into the building itself. On one side, Cynder sends out his Bronzor, Relic, a blue-green metal mirror that hangs low in the air, indicating its Ability by its inability to levitate high enough to avoid Ground-type moves. On the opposite side, Stryke picks Saganaki, a Magby, to counter the Steel-type foe. The volcanic baby Pokémon chirrups, a stray ember flying out of its mouth, while Relic gleams mysteriously. The referee waves his flag, and the battle begins!

First things first Saganaki doesnt want his foe to be able to activate the official-looking piece of paper taped to its back that promises strength at a moment of weakness. Sidling up to the bronze mirror, he gasps and points at Relics Trainer to get the Bronzor to turn around, then snatches the paper away. Or... thats what he tries to do, at least, but he finds his hand simply going through the paper as if it werent there! Puzzled and upset, he lashes out with a punch, and the Bronzor melts away to reveal a black-furred, vulpine Pokémon that clearly has no piece of paper. Cackling, Houdini the Zorua prances around in a mockery of Saganakis confusion, leaving the Magbys ears steaming with anger and embarassment.
Infuriated, Saganaki tries to focus on his commands, but all he can think of is outrage and fury. All thoughts of performing a Swagger of his own gone, he winds up for another punch, but trips and falls when the Zorua trots out of his path and up the stairs into the tower.
The Magby grumbles and dusts himself off. Hell give that braggart a piece of his mind, thats what hell do! Yeah! He breaks out into a run to catch up, but catches his foot on the first stair and finds himself flat on his face once again. Chuckling, Houdini blows a raspberry at his foe before curling up calmly in the center of the room to meditate. After all, hes doing fine now, but its always a good idea to seize the opportunity to rest. Who knows what might be coming next round?

Rolls & Calculations:
Unless otherwise stated, all rolls are on a scale from 001-100 where the roll must be equal to or lower than the accuracy in order to hit, the effect chance in order to have an effect, or the critical hit chance to crit.
On confusion/paralysis/attraction etc. rolls, anything equal to or lower than the failure chance is a failure; anything higher lets the Pokemon use its command.
For all calculations, please completely ignore all the rules you learned in school about order of operations. Everything in this section just goes left to right.
100% health, 100% energy
100% health, 100% energy
Action One
Saganaki uses Thief.
~ Thief has 100% accuracy, so it hits without needing a roll.
~ Houdinis Illusion was lifted!
~ Thiefs critical hit domain is 1 (5%). It fails to crit with a roll of 70.
~ Base power 6% + no STAB + no stat changes + 0 EXP bonus × 0.67 since Dark is not very effective against Dark = Houdini takes 4% damage.
~ Base energy 3% = Saganaki expends 3% energy.

~ Swagger has 90% accuracy. It hits with a roll of 79.
~ Base energy 4% = Houdini expends 4% energy.
~ Saganakis Attack was raised by two stages.
~ Saganaki is severely confused (50% chance of failure).
96% health, 96% energy

Action Two
Saganaki is confused (50% chance of failure).
~ Saganaki fails his confusion check with a roll of 16.
~ Base damage 4% + no STAB + 2 Attack + 0 EXP bonus × 1 for a typeless attack = Saganaki deals 6% damage to himself.

~ Houdinis Sp. Atk. and Sp. Def. were raised by one stage each.
96% health, 94% energy
88% health, 95% energy
Olivine Lighthouse is still standing tall, undamaged by the battle. Some citizens have gathered around the base to watch.
1. Speed order: Saganaki (83) > Houdini (65).
2. Since Houdini disguised himself as Relic, Cynder will be obliged to use Relic as one of his other two Pokémon later in the battle.
3. Saganaki was severely confused and failed both of his confusion checks. Self-inflicted damage doesnt count toward improving confusion, so hes still severely confused.
Next round, Cynder attacks first, followed by Stryke.
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Houdini, Toxic him if he comes through the door on the first action, on other actions just skip straight to Night Daze. Should he not enter your presence on the first action, Calm Mind again, if he's still not there on the second action, or if he's protected use Double Team, max clones. Once He is inside use Night Daze, or if he's protecting use Agility. If he's not inside by the third action go up the stairs to the first floor.
Toxic / Calm Mind ~ Night Daze / Double Team ~ Night Daze / Agility / Use Stairs
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Wha... an illusion?? How could this have happuned?? And a status effect... last time I got one of those, it didn't end too well... this could be trouble.
Anyway, being swaggered is annoying, so just use Rest until it works. And if you manage to successfully use Rest before our turn is up, then... just sleep, since you can't do anything, really...

Saganaki lies on his back, staring queasily at the sky. The tower looming overhead tilts and blurs like the magby's been spinning in circles instead of just trying to run in a straight line, and it doesn't seem to be calming down no matter how long he lies here. On the one hand, Saganaki would love to get that smug zorua back--see if he's so smirky after he's met one of Saganaki's fire punches! On the other... on the other, it's honestly kind of comfortable here on the ground. Anytime the magby starts to raise his head the whole world lurches alarmingly so, you know what? Maybe he'll just stay right where he is. Take a little nap. See if he feels better afterwards.
Meanwhile, Houdini isn't feeling like a nap at all. He wants to fight! Watching that magby blunder around like an idiot is quality entertainment. But he can't even see Saganaki from here, and as the minutes stretch on and on it becomes clear that the magby's not going to show up for a while at least.
It's not so bad at first. Houdini stays where he is, gets in a few minutes of quality meditation. But his zen can only last so long. Soon he's feeling restless.
Houdini gets up. He chases himself around the room, illusion-doubles flickering in and out of existence all around him, until the room is filled with four cavorting zorua instead of one. But tag for one can only be entertaining for so long, and in the end Houdini sighs and trots over to the door, looking out to find Saganaki sprawled, senseless in slumber at the bottom of the stairs. Doesn't look like he'll be waking soon, either.
Houdini bares his teeth in frustration. This would be the perfect time to get the drop on the magby. How much fun would it be to spook him right out of his sleep? But no. His trainer wants him to leave, to get to the high ground while he has the chance. Houdini stays watching a few seconds longer, willing Saganaki to wake up and fight, but the magby just keeps snoozing. Houdini lets out a faint sigh, and then he and his three clones turn and climb the steps up to the second floor of he lighthouse.
Shortly after the zorua leaves, Saganaki wakes up. He yawns and rubs his eyes, then stops when that sets the world to spinning again. The minor bruises he's sustained are all better, but it seems he's about as off-kilter as he was earlier. The magby groans and eases his eyes shut again. It's going to be a long battle.

Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Just for clarification: is Saganaki still asleep, or has he awoken?
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
He's awake.
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Alrighty, lets treat this battle like a computer with a minor technical problem and restart it! Thanks for taking on the battle, Negrek, I really appreciate it!
I imagine that Houdini will be going after you now, but in case he doesn't for whatever reason, set up a Smokescreen if you can. Regardless if you successfully smoked the place or not, if Houdini still hasn't come down by the third action, then make as many Double Team clones as you can. If he does come down, then hit him with a Mega Kick. If that works, then just kick up some Heat Waves.

Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Come down? That's no fun. Houdini, focus your energy into a Swords Dance, then Bounce through the ceiling, preferably landing on the roof.
If you think that's a really bad idea, add to your previous meditations with a Nasty Plot, and start preparing for action with Hone Claws.

Saganaki gets to his feet in slow stages, pausing frequently to let the world around him settle and the churning in his stomach slow. Ordinarily he'd be worried about Houdini getting the drop on him while he's vulnerable, but at this point the magby's decided he's too sick and tired to care. Even once he's regained his feet, the magby doesn't do anything but stand and wait for Houdini to appear. And wait. And wait.
Saganaki blows out an exasperated cloud of smoke. So much for his fearsome opponent, then. He releases more and more smoke, seeing no reason to even move from his spot, if his opponent can't be bothered to come calling, either. Soon a dense cloud of smoke shrouds the entrance to the lighthouse, Saganaki barely visible at its center.
Meanwhile, Houdini's assessing the roof. The zorua stands with head thrown back, staring at the boards up overhead. His trainer wants him to bounce... through that? And land on the roof? That ceiling, though, it looks pretty solid. Most of the lighthouse is weathered stone or concrete, built to withstand wind and waves alike out here in the harbor. Just how thick is the ceiling, anyway?
Houdini has to admit he might be able to bust through. Theoretically, and with a swords dance boost? Sure. Is he going to enjoy busting through? Absolutely, definitely not. So instead he, too, stays where he is, fuming and plotting and letting his mind run wild, seeking alternative ways of gaining an advantage over Saganaki. Not that he really needs to, honestly. The way the battle's been going for the magby, Houdini's beginning to feel sorry for him.
Meanwhile, Saganaki would probably like less of the pity and more of Houdini actually showing up to battle him. The magby stays where he is, pouring on more and more smoke until the cloud around him is thick and choking, so dense he can't even see the wall of the lighthouse rising up in front of him. Up above, Houdini settles down to do his nails, scraping his claws back and forth against each other to sharpen them. Truthfully, this battle hasn't been a lot of fun for him, either; he'd rather be using these things than getting them ready.
In the end, Saganaki just can't stand around doing nothing any longer. He's actually feeling much better--clear-headed, despite the smoke lingering in the air around him. It's not entirely safe to take off running in conditions like these, but Saganaki doesn't care. He's just tired of waiting around, and it feels good to be moving again, although even at his most speedy, the magby can't manage to move much quicker than an ordinary human. It's fast enough, though, and in a matter of seconds he's joined by three perfect duplicate, illusory clones to confound Houdini, should the zorua ever show his face.

A large, thick cloud of smoke swirls outside the lighthouse's main entrance.
Final Notes
- I wasn't really sold on Houdini bouncing through the roof. It looks pretty solid to me. But, for future reference, you don't need to spend an action bouncing up and then another to come down if you don't want to--you can do a complete bounce attack in a single action.
- Cynder next.
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Oh well. It would have looked cool, but I agree with you on the difficulty of the stunt.
Let's start with boosting something else this round: speed. Use Agility, to climb the stairs, if you can. If you can't do both in the same action, climb the stairs to the third floor, if you could use both, Agility to climb the stairs to the fourth floor. Really, whatever you do on the first action, keep going up on the second. Finally, if you are on the third floor on your last action, climb the stairs to the fourth floor; if you are on the fourth floor use Nasty Plot once more.
Agility (up stairs, if possible) ~ Agility (up stairs, if possible) / climb stairs ~ Nasty Plot / climb stairs
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
DQ warning for Finchwidget. Since it's been a while, I'll give one week for commands.
Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Alright, I'm sick of this waiting crap, it's time to actually do some stuff. Opa, quickly run over to the northeastern corner of the room. Once you get over there, fire off a couple Lava Plumes. Hopefully, you should be right underneath Houdini, and if that's the case, then the Lava Plumes should hit him dead on. If the ceiling looks to be sturdy enough to withstand a geyser of magma like that, then fire off some more Smokescreens. Maybe we can smoke them out of the lighthouse if that doesn't work...

After the effort involved in putting together his smokescreen, Saganaki isn't totally thrilled to be abandoning it, but the prospect of actually getting to attack more than overrides his reluctance. The magby dashes up the step and into the lighthouse proper, staggering a little as the last of the dizziness from his confusion throws him off-balance, but the fit passes without major consequences. Saganaki reaches the northeast corner of the first-floor room, unaware that up above Houdini's putting still more distance between himself and his opponent.
The zorua sprints up the lighthouse steps, bouncing from one side of the staircase to the other as he challenges himself to take the climb two, then three steps at a time. His clones bounce around him, weaving around each other in complex patterns, so the staircase appears filled with leaping, pirouetting zorua. No sooner has Houdini reached the third floor than he dashes over to the next staircase and moves on to the fourth in just the same manner. Houdini has to admit: he'd rather be smacking Saganaki around, but this is pretty fun.
He has to slow down again on the fourth floor, though, looking around for a good spot to settle down and get plotting. He has the floor to himself, of course, and there isn't much in the way of furniture for him to make use of. On top of that, it's rather... warm. Unusually warm. Houdini looks down at his paws, confused, as the tile beneath them heats up. Too late does he realize that an attack must be incoming and try to throw himself aside. The tiles erupt upward, letting a geyser of brilliant red-orange magma spew up from below. A good quarter of the floor is consumed by the spewing lava, and it wipes out all Houdini's clones at a stroke, sending the zorua himself stumbling away, spattered with clots of lava. He rolls around unhappily, getting as much of the burning stuff off him as he can while the eruption behind him subsides. All in all, he figures it could have been worse: if he'd been closer to the ground, the lava probably would have enveloped him completely. Even so, he's felt better.
The zorua keeps cogitating, lying where he fell and cooking up the very best revenge against Saganaki. Unfortunately for him, though, the magby doesn't let up with the attacks, and a few seconds later an ominous rumbling heralds another fountain of molten rock. Houdini scrambles to his feet and runs, but he can't escape the attack entirely, once again getting splattered by a bit of wayward lava.

- Happy to be going on the offensive. On the ground floor. Has three clones. +2 Attack
Terrain Notes
A cloud of smoke lingers outside the lighthouse's main entrance, although it's beginning to disperse on the wind. Every floor ground to fourth has a large, irregular hole in the northeast corner, ringed by scorched and crumbling floor tiles and puddles of cooling lava.
Final Notes
- I was a little iffy on whether lava plume would reach four stories high, but the description does make it sound like it goes up a fair ways. However, the damage to Houdini was reduced because he caught only the very tip of the attack.
- Really sorry how long it took me to get to this one! Do feel free to poke me if it's been a month or so since I did a reffing--if it's taken that long it's usually not because I'm busy, but because I've forgotten. :X

Re: Cynder vs Stryke
Eeeeeeexcellent, everything is going just as according to plan... OK Opa, what I want you to do now is this; see that giant hole? The one right above you that you made with the power of liquid rock? I want you to look straight up into that and fire off a Clear Smog straight up into the hole as hard as you can. I know that if Houdini ever comes and faces you like a man, you won't want to be on the receiving end of that +6 boosted Special Attack, so lets get that out of the picture. After that, use Clear Smog again just for good measure, then climb up those stairs.

(Adds profitability, new target for net interest income)
SAO PAULO, Nov 8 (Reuters) - State-controlled Banco do Brasil SA on Thursday posted a third-quarter profit roughly in line with analysts' expectations, but forecast a sharper fall in net interest income on sluggish loan book growth.
Recurring net income, which excludes one-time items, came in at 3.402 billion reais ($911.65 million), up 25.6 percent from a year earlier and 2 percent above a consensus estimate compiled by Refinitiv of 3.334 billion reais, helped by lower loan-loss provisions.
The bank's expanded loan book remained roughly stable in the quarter, reaching 686.3 billion reais. Brazil's biggest lender lags its private peers amid the country's gradual economic recovery.
It said it expected net interest income to contract by 5-6.5 percent in 2018. Previously, it had forecast a drop of up to 5 percent.
In August, Chief Financial Officer Bernardo Rothe had said net interest income growth would resume in 2019.
The bank's 90-day default ratio decreased 0.5 percentage points in the quarter to 2.83 percent.
Its return on equity of 14.3 percent was up 0.5 percentage points from the previous quarter and topped an estimate compiled by Refinitiv of 13.1 percent.
New Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Labuto will host a news conference on the results on Thursday. Former CEO Paulo Caffarelli left the bank on Nov. 1 after accepting an offer to become chief executive at card processor Cielo SA.
