Special Conditions
Confusion
If my confused Pokemon tries to use a GX attack and flips Tails, does that use up my "one GX attack per game"?
No, if you flip tails the attack fails and you don't use up your GX attack.
Ancient Traits
Alpha Growth
The "Alpha Growth" Ancient Trait says "When you attach an Energy card from your hand to this Pokemon... you may attach 2 Energy cards." Does that mean I get to attach one additional Energy card or two additional Energy cards?
You only get to attach one additional Energy card, for a total of two cards attached at that time. (Primal Clash FAQ; Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Delta Evolution
Can I use Rare Candy to evolve a Basic Pokemon into a Stage 2 Pokemon with the "Delta Evolution" Ancient Trait on my first turn or on the Basic Pokemon's first turn in play?
No, you may not. (Roaring Skies FAQ; May 7, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Omega Barrage
If I attack using a Pokemon that has the "Omega Barrage" Ancient Trait, can I do things like attach an Energy or play a Trainer between attacks?
No, you would resolve all effects from the first attack and then either perform your second attack or pass. You don't get to go back into the main part of your turn again. (Primal Clash FAQ; Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If I only have one energy card attached to Excadrill, can I use its "Omega Barrage" to attack with "Dredge" first to attach two energy cards, then attack a second time with "Mach Claw"?
Yes, that would work. (Primal Clash FAQ; Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
What happens for Omega Barrage if the Pokemon is Confused?
You need to flip for Confusion twice if you choose to attack twice.  (Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Omega Barrier
Can I attach a Team Flare "Pokemon Tool F" card to my opponent's Pokemon-EX if it has the "Omega Barrier" Ancient Trait?
Yes, you can. The text of Omega Barrier says its effect excludes Pokemon Tools and Stadium cards. (Primal Clash FAQ; Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If I use Escape Rope but my opponent's Active Pokemon has the "Omega Barrier" Ancient Trait does he or she have to switch it? Or if they have a Pokemon with "Omega Barrier" on the bench can he or she choose that and not switch it to Active?
If your opponent has an Active Pokemon with "Omega Barrier", then Escape Rope's effect will be blocked. If a Pokemon with "Omega Barrier" is on the bench, choosing that Pokemon will not stop the effect as the Active was the target of Escape Rope. (Primal Clash FAQ; Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If my opponent's Active Pokemon has the "Omega Barrier" Ancient Trait, can I use Lysandre to switch one of my benched Pokemon with it?
If your opponent's Benched Pokemon has "Omega Barrier", then Lysandre's effect will be blocked. But choosing a Benched Pokemon without "Omega Barrier" will cause it to switch with the Active Pokemon because the Benched Pokemon is the target of Lysandre. (Apr 9, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Theta Stop
Can I evolve into Mega Sceptile-EX if I have a Sceptile Spirit Link attached without ending my turn if my opponent has Yveltal BKT in the Active?
Yes, because the Mega Evolution rule activates Mega Sceptile-EX is already in play, Theta Stop overrides Yveltal's Fright Night ability.
If a Pokemon with an Ability also has the "Theta Stop" Ancient Trait, would it prevent Wobbuffet's "Bide Barricade" from stopping that Ability?
Yes it would because Bide Barricade is an effect that is targeting the Pokemon, so Theta Stop would prevent Bide Barricade from blocking the Pokemon's Ability. (Sep 3, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If I use Absol's "Cursed Eyes" Ability to move three damage counters from one of my opponent's Pokemon to another, what happens if I choose a Pokemon with the "Theta Stop" Ancient Trait?
Since Theta Stop prevents all effects of Abilities done by your Pokemon, if you choose to move the damage counters to a Pokemon with Theta Stop the damage counters would be discarded rather than moved onto that Pokemon. However, if you choose a Pokemon with Theta Stop as the source of where the damage counters would be moved from, they simply are not moved and the Cursed Eyes ability stops there. (Sep 3, 2015 TPCi Rules Team; Sep 24, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Sun and Moon (SM)
Tsareena
When you use Tsareena's "Queenly Majesty" ABility, when the opponent reveals their hand do you get to choose which card
to discard or is it random>?
You get to choose.
Can I use Tsareena's "Queenly Majesty" Ability and not discard anything from my opponent's hand?
No, because the card says "you may look at your opponent's hand and discard 1 card you find there", you must discard a card.
Eevee
For Eevee, can you attach an energy and use its "Energy Evolution" ability and evolve on your first turn? How about on Eevee's first turn in play?
Yes. You can evolve on your first turn and also on the turn that you played Eevee via this Ability. (Furious Fists FAQ; Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Will Eevee's "Energy Evolution" ability still trigger if it has an Energy attached to it while it's affected by a Special Condition?
There is no text on the card to say it's shut off, so it still works even when afflicted by a Special Condition. (Furious Fists FAQ; Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
If I attach a Rainbow Energy to Eevee, what Energy type does it count as for "Energy Evolution"?
Rainbow Energy is not a Basic Energy card. It will not trigger the Ability. (Furious Fists FAQ; Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
What happens if I attach a Fighting Energy type to Eevee?
You still get to search your deck even though you would not be able to find a suitable evolution card. (Furious Fists FAQ; Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Say I attach a Water Energy to Eevee and do "Energy Evolution". I want to find a Glaceon but unfortunately I only have a Vaporeon in my deck. Do I have to attach the Vaporeon to Eevee?
No. Any search for a specific card or type of card in your deck can be "failed" at your option. (Furious Fists FAQ; Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
If I attach a Basic Energy to Eevee and trigger its "Energy Evolution" ability but choose an evolution belonging to Team Plasma, would I take the damage from Frozen City stadium or not?
The mandatory effect of the Frozen City stadium comes before the optional effect of Energy Evolution. If the Eevee is not a Team Plasma Pokemon before choosing whether to use Energy Evolution, you would take the damage from Frozen City. (Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
If Eevee only has 10hp left and Frozen City is in play, would it be KO'd before I have a chance to use its "Energy Evolution" ability by attaching a Basic Energy?
No, it would not. All triggered effects have to be resolved before checking for KO's, so you would take the +10 damage for Frozen City first, then use Energy Evolution to search your deck. Of course, if you fail the search and Eevee's damage is greater than or equal to its HP, then Eevee is KO'd. (Aug 28, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Gumshoos-GX
If I have multiple Gumshoos-GX in play, can I use each of their "Search the Premises" Abilities or am I limited to only one total per turn?
Each Gumshoos-GX can use its own ability once per turn. So if you have two of them you can use the first Search the Premises to have your opponent reveal their hand,
then use a Trainer card such as N to have the opponent shuffle their hand into their deck and draw new cards, and then use the second Search the Premises to have your
opponent reveal their hand again.
Oranguru
Say a player calls Oranguru's Instruct Ability, but then realizes they already have six or more cards in their hand. Does that mean his Instruct Ability is used up, or can he use it later in the turn since nothing happened?
[Instruct] says "you may draw cards until you have [3] cards in your hand"; if you have too many cards you cannot "draw zero" so the [Ability Instruct] is not used up. (Jan 12, 2012 TPCi Rules Team, adapted from Magnetic Draw ruling)
Umbreon-GX
Can Umbreon-GX's Dark Call attack discard 2 Double Colorless Energy?
Yes, it can discard 2 of any type of energy.
Solgaleo-GX
Can I attach Special Energies by using Solgaleo-GX's Sol Burst Attack?
Yes, you may attach Special Energies using Sol Burst.
Can I use Eevee's Energy Evolution Ability to evolve from using Sol Burst>
No. Energy Evolution states you can evolve if you attach from hand, and Sol Burst attaches Energy from your deck.
Dragonair
On the turn after using Dragonair's "Dragon Wish" attack, when I attack any number of Energy cards from my hand do I have to attach them all at once, or can I attach
them whenever I want during my turn?
You do not have to attach them all at once. You can attach them from your hand whenever you like during the duration of your turn following Dragon's Wish.
If I use Dragonair's "Dragon's Wish" attack and then on the following turn evolve it to Dragonite, can I still attach the energies or not??
Yes, absolutely! The Dragon's Wish effect resides on the player, not on the Pokemon.
Professor Kukui
Can I play Professor Kukui if I have no cards left in my deck?
Yes you can, because you still get to do the +20 bonus damage for your Pokemon's attacks.
Rotom Dex
What if I use Town Map, then Rotom Dex?
You would shuffle your face-up prize cards into your deck, and deal equally that many face-down cards into your prizes.
EXP Share
What if I forget to move a Basic Energy from my KOed Active Pokemon to a benched Pokemon with an EXP Share attached?
Once the Active Pokemon reaches the discard pile, the effects of EXP Share are ignored, so you may not continue to attach the
Basic Energy.
If my Yveltal with "Fright Night" Ability gets KO'd, am I then able to use EXP Share on one of my Benched Pokemon to recover one of Yveltal's Basic Energy cards?
Sorry, but no. Fright Night would still be working, so EXP Share would not enable before Yveltal hits the discard pile.
Poison Barb
If Resistance causes me to hit for 0 damage on a Pokemon with Poison Barb attached, would I still get Poisoned?
Poison Barb only activates when the opponent's Pokemon is "damaged by an attack", so in this case it would not activate.
Nest Ball
Can I use Nest Ball if my Bench is full?
Of course not, don't be foolish. (adapted from Great Ball ruling Oct 28, 2004)
Can I use Nest Ball Shaymin-EX and use the Set Up Ability to draw cards?
No. Shaymin-EX states you must play it from your hand in order to use Set Up. The same goes for Hoopa-EX and Scoundrel Ring.
XY Promos (XYP)
Darkrai
If Darkrai attacks with "Abyssal Sleep", can Pokemon Ranger clear the effect of flipping 2 coins when asleep?
Asleep, Poisoned, etc. are Special Conditions, regardless of how many coinf you flip or how much damage the poison condition does. Therefore they are not altered by Pokemn Ranger.
Mew-EX
For Mew EX's "Versatile" Ability, do I need to have the same energy types as the attack I'm copying, or will any type of energy work as long as I have the correct number of energies?
You must meet the energy requirements as to both type and number for the attack Mew EX is copying. So if the attack requires two Water energy, you will need to have at least two Water energy attached to Mew EX. (Feb 16, 2006 PUI Rules Team; BW:Dragons Exalted FAQ; Aug 23, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
Since a BREAK Pokemon "retains the attacks, Abilities, Weakness, Resistance, and Retreat Cost of its previous Evolution" can a Mew EX with the "Versatile" Ability use an attack of the Pokemon that the BREAK Pokemon evolved from (providing it meets energy requirements, etc.)?
Yes, it can. The underlying Pokemon's attacks are part of the BREAK Evolved Pokemon and are therefore able to be copied by Versatile. (Dec 3, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If my Wailord uses "Giant Wave" this turn, can my opponent's Mew EX's "Versatile" Ability use that attack on the turn following mine?
Yes. The effect of "this Pokemon can't use Giant Wave next turn" applies only to the Pokemon that attacked with it. (Dragons Exalted FAQ; Aug 23, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
What happens if Mew EX uses its "Versatile" ability to copy Xerneas EX's "X Blast" attack? Can it use "X Blast" again the following turn or not?
When Mew EX attacks, Versatile uses the attack name specified. So when it attacks with X Blast, Mew EX cannot use that attack twice in a row. (Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
XY Evolutions (EVO)
Starmie
Can I use Starmie's "Space Beacon" Ability to discard a card from my hand if there are no Basic Energies in my discard pile?
Yes you can. The first part of Space Beacon is to discard a card fro your hand, period. Then you do as much of the rest of the Ability as you are able to.
Clefairy
Can I have Clefairy's "Metronome" copy a GX attack, and if so does it use up my "one GX attack per game"?
Yes you can, and yes it does. Also if you've already used your GX attack for the game, then you cannot choose a GX attack with Metronome.
XY Steam Siege (STM)
Volcanion-EX
If I use Volcanion-EX's Volcanic Heat attack, but I already used it the turn before, does my turn immediately end?
Once you've declared an attack, you cannot leave the attack step without your opponent's permission. If you declare an
"illegal" attack, you may ask your opponent's permission to back out of the attack step. If he or she says "yes", you can
go back and take any actions that you could have taken prior to the attack step. If he or she says "no", you may either
select an attack that is legal or you may pass.
Does Parallel City reduce Volcanion-EX's attack by 40, since Volcanion-EX is Fire and Water typed?
No, it only reduces by 20, because you can only use an effect of a card once per Pokemon if it's eligible.
Galvantula
Can I Double Thread the Active Pokemon?
Due to an error in card text, Galvantula's "Double Thread" attack has been changed. The original text says, "This attack does 30 damage to 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. Also apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon". The text has been changed to match the original intention of the attack, which is to affect only Benched Pokémon. Double Thread is updated to say, "This attack does 30 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Apply Weakness and Resistance". Effective immediately, Galvantula's "Double Thread" attack will use this updated attack text instead of the original text. (Aug 8, 2016 Pokemon Organized Play News)
Magearna-EX
If Magearna-EX with the "Mystic Heart" Ability is in play, are all Pokemon with Metal Energy attached protected from Greninja's Shadow Stitching attack?
If Magearna-EX has a Metal Energy attached to it, all Pokemon with Metal Energy attached are protected; however, if Magearna-EX does not have a Metal Energy
attached to it, its Mystic Heart Ability is shut off and no Pokemon with Metal Energy attached are protected.
Pokemon Ranger
If Darkrai attacks with "Abyssal Sleep", can Pokemon Ranger clear the effect of flipping 2 coins when asleep?
Asleep, Poisoned, etc. are Special Conditions, regardless of how many coinf you flip or how much damage the poison condition does. Therefore they are not altered by Pokemn Ranger.
Captivating Pokepuff
If I have a Team Magma's Secret Base in play and I play a Captivating Pokepuff, are the Pokemon I force into play affected by Team Magma's Secret Base?
Yes, Team Magma's Secret Base reads that Pokeon played take damage when played from your hand, which they are in this case.
XY Fates Collide (FCO)
Marowak
If I used Volcanion-EX's "Volcanic Heat" attack last turn, then on this turn I play Marowak and use its "Bodyguard" ability that says to "remove any existing
effects", does that mean I can use Volcanion-EX's "Volcanic Heat" attack on this turn?
Sorry, but no. You can only remove effects that were done by your opponent's Pokemon, not effects done by your own Pokemon.
Bronzong
If Bronzong with the "Metal Fortress" Ability is in play, are benched Pokemon protected from Greninja's "Shadow Stitching" attack? If so, does it also protect Pokemon that come into play on the bench during the opponent's turn?
If Bronzong is on the Bench, all benched Pokemon are protected, including ones put into play after the attack has happened (for example, Shaymin-EX's "Set Up" Ability will work in this scenario); however, the Active Pokemon is not protected, even if it goes to the Bench it will not get its Ability back. If Bronzong is Active and has its Metal Fortress shut off, the Benched Pokemon are not protected; even if it moves to the Bench, it will not get its Ability back. Finally, if Bronzong is on the Bench and becomes the Active Pokemon during your turn, it loses its Ability and the Benched Pokémon are no longer protected. (Jun 23, 2016 TPCi Rules Team)
XY BREAKpoint (BKP)
Greninja
Can I return a Splash Energy to my hand to add 20 damage to Greninja's Moonlight Slash attack?
Yes, Splash Energy is considered a Basic Water Energy when attached to a Pokemon.
If I have Suicune with the "Wind Charm" Ability Active and my opponent attacks with Greninja's "Shadow Stitching", are all my Abilities turned off including "Wind Charm", or does "Wind Charm" prevent "Shadow Stitching" from disabling my Pokemon's Abilities?
Wind Charm prevents Shadow Stitching from disabling your Pokemon's Abilities. However, if Suicune goes to the Bench, Wind Charm's effect goes away and your Pokemon will no longer have Abilities that turn. Suicune also does not protect any Pokemon not already in play. (BREAKpoint FAQ; Feb 11, 2016 TPCi Rules Team)
If Marowak's "Bodyguard" ability is in effect, preventing the effects of attacks on me and my hand, does Greninja's "Shadow Stitching" attack turn off abilities of Pokemon in my hand or not?
Shadow Stitching turns off the Bodyguard ability, so until the end of your next turn none of your Pokemon will have Abilities. (May 5, 2016 TPCi Rules Team)
If Bronzong with the "Metal Fortress" Ability is in play, are benched Pokemon protected from Greninja's "Shadow Stitching" attack? If so, does it also protect Pokemon that come into play on the bench during the opponent's turn?
If Bronzong is on the Bench, all benched Pokemon are protected, including ones put into play after the attack has happened (for example, Shaymin-EX's "Set Up" Ability will work in this scenario); however, the Active Pokemon is not protected, even if it goes to the Bench it will not get its Ability back. If Bronzong is Active and has its Metal Fortress shut off, the Benched Pokemon are not protected; even if it moves to the Bench, it will not get its Ability back. Finally, if Bronzong is on the Bench and becomes the Active Pokemon during your turn, it loses its Ability and the Benched Pokémon are no longer protected. (Jun 23, 2016 TPCi Rules Team)
If Magearna-EX with the "Mystic Heart" Ability is in play, are all Pokemon with Metal Energy attached protected from Greninja's Shadow Stitching attack?
If Magearna-EX has a Metal Energy attached to it, all Pokemon with Metal Energy attached are protected; however, if Magearna-EX does not have a Metal Energy
attached to it, its Mystic Heart Ability is shut off and no Pokemon with Metal Energy attached are protected.
Garbodor
If my Lugia EX knocks out an opponent's Garbodor with the "Garbotoxin" Ability and a tool attached, does Lugia EX's "Overflow" Ability turn on in time for it to take two prizes?
Nope, Garbotoxin is still active when Garbodor is KO'd, so Lugia EX does not get to take 1 more prize card for Overflow. (Feb 28, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Phantump
Can I use Ascension on the first turn of the game?
Yes. This attack can evolve a Pokémon, even during the first turn of the game. (Jun 17, 2004 PUI Rules Team; May 10, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
Bursting Balloon
If I Knock Out a Pokemon with Bursting Balloon attached, which in turn casues my Pokemon to get knocked out, and we both take our last Prize Card at the same time, who wins?
Each player's Pokemon getting knocked out would grant each player one win condition. If one player for example had no Benched Pokemon after that
turn, the other player would have another win condition, and subsequently would win the game. If a situation like this doesn't happen, the game goes
to Sudden Death.
If Resistance causes me to hit for 0 damage on a Pokemon with Bursting Balloon attached, would I still get 60 damage?
Bursting Balloon only activates when the opponent's Pokemon is "damaged by an attack", so in this case it would not activate.
Puzzle of Time
Can I Double Puzzle for 2 Puzzles?
No, that would create an infinite loop which breaks the game. No paradoxes in Pokemon plz
XY BREAKthrough (BKT)
Mewtwo-EX (Shatter Shot)
Does Damage Change activate the effect of Bursting Balloon?
No. Placing damage counters is not directly dealing damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon, so Bursting Balloon would not be activated.
Yveltal
If my Yveltal with "Fright Night" Ability gets KO'd, am I then able to use EXP Share on one of my Benched Pokemon to recover one of Yveltal's Basic Energy cards?
Sorry, but no. Fright Night would still be working, so EXP Share would not enable before Yveltal hits the discard pile.
Brigette
Can I use Brigette to grab 3 GX Pokemon from my deck?
Yes, GX Pokemon are not EX Pokemon.
XY Roaring Skies (RSK)
Banette
If my opponent used Banette's "Evolution Jammer" attack, can I use a Pokemon with the "Delta Evolution" Ancient Trait to evolve anyway?
No, Delta Evolution does not override Evolution Jammer. (Roaring Skies FAQ; May 7, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Shaymin-EX
Does Bursting Balloon KO Shaymin-EX?
No.
XY Ancient Origins (AOR)
Ariados
Can I use Ariados' "Poisonous Nest" Ability if both my and the opponent's Active Pokemon are Grass type?
No, you cannot. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If "Flare Effect" or "Aqua Effect" or "Electric Effect" has added {R} or {W} or {L} to my {G} Ariados' type, when I use its "Poisonous Nest" Ability to poison all Active Pokemon except {G} type, is Ariados poisoned or not?
Ariados is not poisoned, because it is still {G} type. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Mega Sceptile-EX
Can I evolve into Mega Sceptile-EX if I have a Sceptile Spirit Link attached without ending my turn if my opponent has Yveltal BKT in the Active?
Yes, because the Mega Evolution rule activates Mega Sceptile-EX is already in play, Theta Stop overrides Yveltal's Fright Night ability.
If I use Mega Sceptile EX's "Jagged Saber" attack against Giratina EX with the "Renegade Pulse" Ancient Trait, does Mega Sceptile EX's "Theta Stop" Ancient Trait prevent "Renegade Pulse" from blocking the damage? If not, then does "Renegade Pulse" prevent "Jagged Saber" from attaching any Grass Energy?
Renegade Pulse prevents all effects of attacks done to Giratina EX, but it does not "do anything" to Mega Sceptile EX for its Theta Stop to kick in. So the damage part is blocked by Renegade Pulse, but the effect of attaching energy is not being done to Giratina EX so that part of the attack does not get blocked. (Sep 3, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If I attach a Grass energy from my hand using M Sceptile EX's "Jagged Saber" attack to a benched Malamar EX, will I be able to use Malamar EX's "Hyper Hypnosis" Ability to put my opponent's Active Pokemon to sleep?
Yes, you can. An Energy is being attached from your hand to Malamar-EX, so Hyper Hypnosis can be used. (Oct 29, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Flareon
If Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability adds Fire or Water or Electric type to a Darkness Type Pokemon, does Dangerous Energy get discarded since it says, "If this card is attached to anything other than a {D} Pokemon, discard this card"?
No, it is not discarded. Even with the addition of another type to the Darkness Pokemon it is still also a Darkness Pokemon. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If "Flare Effect" or "Aqua Effect" or "Electric Effect" has added {R} or {W} or {L} to my {G} Ariados' type, when I use its "Poisonous Nest" Ability to poison all Active Pokemon except {G} type, is Ariados poisoned or not?
Ariados is not poisoned, because it is still {G} type. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Does Golurk's "Double Type" ability which says "As long as this Pokemon is in play it is both {P} and {F} type" block Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability which adds {R} or {W} or {L} to any stage 1 Pokemon?
No. Golurk would have all 5 types if all of those Abilities were present. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Does a BREAK Evolved Pokemon such as Raichu BREAK or Marowak BREAK still have access to the type changes from Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability? Or do those Abilities no longer apply after the Stage 1 Pokemon becomes a BREAK Evolved Pokemon?
Pokemon BREAK are their own classification, so they are not considered Stage 1 Pokemon. Although BREAK Evolved Pokemon share many of the traits of the Pokemon it evolves from, it is no longer a Pokemon of the previous stage it evolved from. Since it is no longer a Stage 1 Pokemon, the Flareon's/Vaporeon's/Jolteon's abilities do not apply. (Oct 29, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If I hit a Pokemon for Weakness and Resistance, for example I use Flareon's Ability on an Espeon-GX to hit Scizor-EX, which applies first?
Weakness, then Resistance.
Vaporeon
If Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability adds Fire or Water or Electric type to a Darkness Type Pokemon, does Dangerous Energy get discarded since it says, "If this card is attached to anything other than a {D} Pokemon, discard this card"?
No, it is not discarded. Even with the addition of another type to the Darkness Pokemon it is still also a Darkness Pokemon. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If "Flare Effect" or "Aqua Effect" or "Electric Effect" has added {R} or {W} or {L} to my {G} Ariados' type, when I use its "Poisonous Nest" Ability to poison all Active Pokemon except {G} type, is Ariados poisoned or not?
Ariados is not poisoned, because it is still {G} type. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Does Golurk's "Double Type" ability which says "As long as this Pokemon is in play it is both {P} and {F} type" block Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability which adds {R} or {W} or {L} to any stage 1 Pokemon?
No. Golurk would have all 5 types if all of those Abilities were present. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Does a BREAK Evolved Pokemon such as Raichu BREAK or Marowak BREAK still have access to the type changes from Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability?

Pokemon BREAK are their own classification, so they are not considered Stage 1 Pokemon.

Since it is no longer a Stage 1 Pokemon, the Flareon's/Vaporeon's/Jolteon's abilities do not apply. (Oct 29, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If I hit a Pokemon for Weakness and Resistance, for example I use Flareon's Ability on an Espeon-GX to hit Scizor-EX, which applies first?
Weakness, then Resistance.
Jolteon
If Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability adds Fire or Water or Electric type to a Darkness Type Pokemon, does Dangerous Energy get discarded since it says, "If this card is attached to anything other than a {D} Pokemon, discard this card"?
No, it is not discarded. Even with the addition of another type to the Darkness Pokemon it is still also a Darkness Pokemon. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If "Flare Effect" or "Aqua Effect" or "Electric Effect" has added {R} or {W} or {L} to my {G} Ariados' type, when I use its "Poisonous Nest" Ability to poison all Active Pokemon except {G} type, is Ariados poisoned or not?
Ariados is not poisoned, because it is still {G} type. (Ancient Origins FAQ; Aug 13, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Does Golurk's "Double Type" ability which says "As long as this Pokemon is in play it is both {P} and {F} type" block Flareon's "Flare Effect" ability or Vaporeon's "Aqua Effect" ability or Jolteon's "Electric Effect" ability which adds {R} or {W} or {L} to any stage 1 Pokemon?

If I hit a Pokemon for Weakness and Resistance, for example I use Flareon's Ability on an Espeon-GX to hit Scizor-EX, which applies first?
Weakness, then Resistance.
XY Primal Clash (PRC)
Excadrill
If I only have one energy card attached to Excadrill, can I use its "Omega Barrage" to attack with "Dredge" first to attach two energy cards, then attack a second time with "Mach Claw"?
Yes, that would work. (Primal Clash FAQ; Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
Rough Seas
Can I heal 60 damage from one of my Lightning type Pokemon with Vaporeon AOR and Rough Seas in play?
No, you can only heal 30 per turn, because you can only use an effect of a card once per Pokemon if it's eligible.
EXP Share
What if I forget to move a Basic Energy from my KOed Active Pokemon to a benched Pokemon with an EXP Share attached?
Once the Active Pokemon reaches the discard pile, the effects of EXP Share are ignored, so you may not continue to attach the
Basic Energy.
XY Flashfire (FLF)
Trick Shovel
Does my opponent have the right to see the top card of their deck kept by Trick Shovel?
No, only you have the right to see the top card of your opponent's deck while playing Trick Shovel.
BW Legendary Treasures (LTR)
Mew-EX
For Mew EX's "Versatile" Ability, do I need to have the same energy types as the attack I'm copying, or will any type of energy work as long as I have the correct number of energies?
You must meet the energy requirements as to both type and number for the attack Mew EX is copying. So if the attack requires two Water energy, you will need to have at least two Water energy attached to Mew EX. (Feb 16, 2006 PUI Rules Team; BW:Dragons Exalted FAQ; Aug 23, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
Since a BREAK Pokemon "retains the attacks, Abilities, Weakness, Resistance, and Retreat Cost of its previous Evolution" can a Mew EX with the "Versatile" Ability use an attack of the Pokemon that the BREAK Pokemon evolved from (providing it meets energy requirements, etc.)?
Yes, it can. The underlying Pokemon's attacks are part of the BREAK Evolved Pokemon and are therefore able to be copied by Versatile. (Dec 3, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
If my Wailord uses "Giant Wave" this turn, can my opponent's Mew EX's "Versatile" Ability use that attack on the turn following mine?
Yes. The effect of "this Pokemon can't use Giant Wave next turn" applies only to the Pokemon that attacked with it. (Dragons Exalted FAQ; Aug 23, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
What happens if Mew EX uses its "Versatile" ability to copy Xerneas EX's "X Blast" attack? Can it use "X Blast" again the following turn or not?
When Mew EX attacks, Versatile uses the attack name specified. So when it attacks with X Blast, Mew EX cannot use that attack twice in a row. (Feb 5, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)

Click on bullets to expand category
Game-Play Error
Minor
These errors have very little effect on game-play and can usually be fixed with little effort. In many cases, players should be given multiple starting penalties before escalating the penalty, and the maximum penalty given should be a Prize Card penalty. Examples of Game-Play Error: Minor include:
Drawing a card to your hand without showing it to your opponent when the card tells
you to do so.
Declaring an attack without having the proper Energy attached.
Failing to place Prize cards at the beginning of the game. Discovered after play starts but
before any searches of the deck.
Forgetting to discard a Supporter card after it has been played.
Drawing an extra card.
Forgetting to flip a coin for a Burned or Poisoned Pokémon between turns
Inadvertently revealing the top card of your deck, or one of your Prize cards.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
Major
When game state has become irreversibly confused due to game-play errors, it is appropriate
for the judge to issue a higher-level penalty. Major game-play error penalties are also
appropriate for minor game-play errors that have left the game too confused to reset. In addition to the assigned penalty to the offending player, a Caution should be issued to the
player’s opponent for not properly keeping track of game state and rules. Examples of Game-Play Error:
Major include:
Playing more than one Energy card in a single turn without the use of an effect that
allows you to.
Shuffling your deck mid-game without the use of a card effect.
Insufficiently randomizing your deck.
Failing to place Prize cards at the beginning of the game. Discovered after a search of
the deck.**
Taking a Prize card without Knocking Out a Pokémon.
Taking too many Prize cards after Knocking Out a Pokémon.
Forgetting to place damage counters on a Pokémon from a mandatory effect, such as
Poisoned.
Using an Ability when a card prevents its use.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Warning
Tier 2: Prize Card
**If two searches have been made, the starting penalty can be escalated one step. If three or
more searches have been made, escalating to the next penalty tier is appropriate.
Severe
In some cases, a game-play error occurs which irreparably breaks the game state. In these cases,
there is no way that either player or a judge can reset the game to the point where it can be
continued.
In addition to the assigned penalty to the offending player, a Warning should be issued to the
player’s opponent for not properly keeping track of game state and rules.
Examples of Game-Play Error: Severe include:
Failing to place Prize cards at the beginning of the game. Discovered after three or more
searches of the deck
Shuffling your hand into your deck without the use of a card effect.
Shuffling your Prize cards into your deck without the use of a card effect.
Shuffling your discard pile into your deck without the use of a card effect.
Picking up your cards before both players agree on the game winner.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
Marked Cards
Minor
This penalty should be used when marked cards exist but there is no discernable pattern to
which cards are marked. If there appears to be some pattern to which cards are marked,
escalating to the next penalty tier is appropriate.
Placing the deck in card sleeves (if unsleeved) or replacing the damaged sleeves (if sleeved)
usually solves the problem. Marked cards or sleeves should be replaced as soon as possible,
without disrupting game play. Examples of Marked Cards: Minor include:
Two basic Energy, a Pikachu, a Fighting Stadium, and a Potion have a thumbnail mark
along the lower edge of the sleeve. The combination of cards does not create a pattern
that would provide the player with significant advantage.
The player’s sleeves have standard wear and tear in different areas of the sleeves, which
could allow the player to determine which cards are which at a cursory glance.
Several of the player’s cards are parallel holo versions of the card, causing a slight bend
down the center of the card. However, while the cards are identifiable as parallel holo
cards, there is enough variety in which cards bend that no pattern can be determined.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
Major
This penalty applies to a player who has marked cards or sleeves where there is a discernable
pattern to which cards are marked. Because the possibility for a player to gain an advantage is
high, the penalties associated with this category are more severe. Further investigation may be
required to determine if the markings are intentional, or if the player is using accidental
markings to intentionally gain advantage. If either of these proves to be the case, the penalty
should be escalated to Unsporting Conduct: Cheating, and the appropriate action should be
taken.
Placing the deck in card sleeves (if unsleeved) or replacing the damaged sleeves (if sleeved)
usually solves the problem. Marked cards or sleeves should be replaced as soon as possible,
without disrupting game play. Examples of Marked Cards: Major include:
All of the Basic Pokémon in a player’s deck are parallel holo, causing a slight bend down
the center of the card. This creates a pattern which allows the player to identify Basic
Pokémon when the cards are face-down, at rest.
A card in the player’s deck was damaged, and has created a visible wear mark on the
back of the sleeve along the damaged area, allowing the card to easily be identified
while face-down
The sleeves on all of the Special Energy cards in a player’s deck are slightly longer than
the rest of the sleeves.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Multi-Prize Card
Tier 2: Game Loss
Deck Problems
Illegal Decklist, Legal Deck
If a player’s deck meets the format restrictions and deck construction rules but the decklist does
not, the decklist should be made legal by replacing the illegal cards with basic Energy cards of
the player’s choosing, if necessary. The deck should then be modified to reflect the changes.
Examples of Deck Problems: Illegal Decklist, Legal Deck include:
The decklist contains five copies of Plasma Energy, but the deck contains four copies of
Plasma Energy. The 5th copy of Plasma Energy would be removed from the decklist.
The decklist contains more or less than sixty cards, but the deck contains exactly sixty
cards. In this case, any cards not listed on the decklist must be removed from the deck.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
Legal Decklist, Illegal Deck
If a player’s decklist meets the format restrictions and deck construction rules but the deck does
not, the illegal cards must be removed from the deck, and the deck must be modified to match
the decklist. The Head Judge should carefully consider what advantage, if any, was gained by the
illegal deck. If the Head Judge feels that there was a significant advantage, escalating the penalty
may be necessary.
The exception to this is if cards are simply missing from the deck. This usually happens if the
player and a previous opponent are using similar sleeves, if cards get stuck in the player’s deck
box, or if cards are dropped on the floor. If the card is found, or the player can provide an
identical card to replace the missing one, the player should be allowed to continue the event
without further modifying the deck or the decklist. If the card cannot be found and the player
cannot provide an identical card, the missing card should be replaced with a basic Energy card of
the player’s choice, and the decklist should be modified to reflect the new contents of the deck.
Either way, the penalty should still be issued. Examples of Deck Problems: Legal Decklist, Illegal Deck include:
The decklist contains sixty cards, including four copies of Ghetsis, but the deck contains
fifty-nine cards and only three copies of Ghetsis. In this case, the player may add one
Ghetsis to his or her deck. If that player cannot provide one, he or she must add a basic
Energy card. The decklist is then modified to reflect the change.
In a Standard event, the decklist contains two copies of Magmortar (XY—Furious Fists,
11/111), but the deck contains two copies of Magmortar (Black & White—Dragons
Exalted, 21/124). In this case, the illegal cards must be removed from the deck, and the
deck must be modified to match the decklist. If that player cannot provide the legal
cards, he or she must add a basic Energy card. The decklist is then modified to reflect
the change.
The player’s deck contains foreign cards as defined by the Pokémon Tournament Rules.
In this case, any foreign cards should be replaced with a local language version if
possible. If this is not possible, the cards should be replaced with basic Energy cards. The
decklist is then modified to reflect the change.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
Illegal Decklist, Illegal Deck
Occasionally, a player will simply show up with an illegal decklist and deck that do not meet the
format restrictions or the deck construction rules. When this is the case, both the deck and the
decklist must be modified to make the deck legal for the event. Any illegal cards should be
replaced with basic Energy cards of the player’s choice, and the changes should be reflected on
the decklist.
As with the previous category, the Head Judge should carefully consider what advantage, if any,
was gained by the illegal deck. If the Head Judge feels that there was a significant advantage or
the error cannot be easily fixed during the match, escalating the may be necessary.
Examples of Deck Problems: Illegal Decklist, Illegal Deck include:
Both the decklist and the deck contain five copies of Herbal Energy, violating the fourcard
limit rule.
Both the decklist and the deck contain more or less than sixty cards.
In a Standard event, both the decklist and the deck contain four Dark Ampharos (EX
Team Rocket Returns, 2/109).
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
Legal Decklist, Legal Deck
Occasionally a player’s decklist and deck meet the format restrictions and the deck construction
rules but do not match. As the contents of the decklist always take priority over the contents of
the deck itself, the player must modify his or her deck so that it matches the decklist. If the
player is unable to provide the cards listed on the decklist, missing cards should be replaced
with basic Energy cards of the player’s choice, and the decklist should be updated to reflect
these changes.
As with previous categories, the Head Judge should carefully consider what advantage, if any,
was gained by this error. If the Head Judge feels that there was a significant advantage
escalating the penalty may be necessary.
Examples of Deck Problems: Legal Decklist, Legal Deck include:
A player’s deck contains 4 Fighting Energy cards, but the decklist contains 4 Strong
Energy cards.
A player’s deck contains 4 Snorlax (Black & White—Plasma Storm, 101/135), but the
decklist contains 2 Snorlax (Black & White—Plasma Storm, 101/135) and 2 Snorlax (XY—
Flashfire, 80/106)
A player’s deck contains 3 Pal Pad cards and 2 Protection Cube cards, but the decklist
contains 2 Pal Pad cards and 3 Protection Cube cards.
In an Unlimited event, the decklist contains four copies of Torchic (EX Ruby & Sapphire,
73/109), but the deck contains four copies of Torchic (EX Ruby & Sapphire, 74/109).
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Prize Card
Tier 2: Prize Card
Game Tempo
The times given
below are general guidelines; players attempting to compartmentalize their turn in order to use every
second of the time allowed for the items below are almost certainly stalling and should be subject to the
Unsporting Conduct: Severe penalties.
Performing the actions of a card or attack: 15 seconds
Shuffling and setup, game start: 2 minutes
Shuffling and deck search, mid-game: 15 seconds
Starting the turn after opponent’s “end of turn” announcement: 5 seconds
Considering the game position before playing a card: 10 seconds
Slow Play
Players should take care to play in a manner that keeps the game pace lively, regardless of the
complexity of the situation. A player who takes too long to make decisions about game play runs the
risk of putting his or her opponent at a disadvantage due to the round’s time limit. In addition to the
recommended penalty, the judge may issue a time extension to offset this disadvantage.
Slow play penalties should escalate at a faster rate than other penalties, but should not exceed a
Prize Card penalty.
Examples of Game Tempo: Slow Play include:
You are excessively slow when deciding which Pokémon to attach an Energy card to.
You take an unreasonable amount of time deciding which Basic Pokémon to take from your
deck after playing a Poké Ball card.
Counting or searching your (or your opponent’s) deck or discard pile more than once in a
short time period.
Repeatedly searching your deck, hand, or discard pile while performing a card effect.
Attempting to engage in extraneous conversation that interferes with timely play.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
Rushing
Rushing involves a player trying to get his or her opponent to play faster. This can cause the
opponent to lose his or her concentration, making the player more likely to make a mistake. Rushing
is often a symptom of an opponent’s Slow Play, but it can also occur when a player is excited to get
to his or her next turn.

Making exasperated noises or comments regarding your opponent’s actions.
Rushing through your opponent’s attack step by putting damage on your Pokémon before
your opponent announces which attack is being used, or the total damage being done to the
Defending Pokémon.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Warning
Procedural Error
Minor
This category covers smaller errors that do not have a serious impact on the operation of the
event. If the situation can be corrected before any delay or disruption occurs, the correction
should always be made and no higher penalty than a Caution should be dispensed for a first
infraction. If the situation goes unreported until delay or disruption is caused, a Warning is a
suitable first penalty.
Examples of Procedural Error: Minor include:
Failing to sign the match slip.
Entering marked or announced staff-only areas.
Interrupting staff during announcements to players or rulings in progress.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Caution
Tier 2: Caution
Major
Occasionally errors are made that have a much larger impact on the tournament’s operation.
Some can cause a major delay in the timeliness of the event; others can cause a significant
inconvenience for the players around you. In some extreme cases the penalty for this infraction
can be escalated to a Game Loss for a first offense.
Examples of Procedural Error: Major include:
Incorrectly filling out a match slip.
Showing up to a match late (less than 5 minutes).
Failure to provide status condition markers if cards in your deck use those conditions.
Failure to provide damage counters to track damage on your Pokémon.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Warning
Tier 2: Warning
Severe
This category is typically reserved from an infraction that has a significant impact on the event,
or is the result of a breakdown in event protocol.
Examples of Procedural Error: Severe include:
Incorrectly reporting the result of a match.
Showing up late to a match (5 minutes or more).
Failure to report that you are dropping from an event before leaving the venue. (This
penalty will be issued regardless of whether the player is there to receive it or not.)
Playing the incorrect opponent. (In this case, the player sitting at the wrong table
receives the penalty.)
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
Unsporting Conduct
Minor
Players are expected to behave in a respectful manner to all attendees and staff of a Pokémon
event. Players who don’t behave properly need to be reminded to with the issuance of a
penalty. Infractions in this category have no impact on the event operation itself.
Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Minor include:
Swearing in the tournament area.

Roughhousing.
Repeatedly touching or moving an opponent’s cards without permission.
Disturbing a match in progress.
 Players who don’t behave properly need to be reminded to with the issuance of a
penalty. Infractions in this category have a direct impact on event operation or cause a small
degree of emotional distress to those around them.

Failure to comply with the instructions of the event staff.
Engaging in gamesmanship/rules lawyering.
Attempting to manipulate a match through intimidation or distraction.
Refusal to sign a match slip.
Making legal plays which have no effect on the game in progress to manipulate the time
remaining in a match.
Playing slowly to manipulate the time remaining in a match.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Game Loss
Tier 2: Game Loss
Severe
Players are expected to behave in a respectful manner to all attendees and staff of a Pokémon
event. Players who don’t behave properly need to be reminded to with the issuance of a
penalty. Infractions in this category have a serious impact on event operation or integrity, cause
great emotional distress to those around them, or involve a physical altercation.
Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Severe include:
Defacement of tournament area.
Determining the outcome of a match by random means, through the use of bribery or
coercion, or via other choosing methods/games.
Assault.
Use of profanity or physical threats to event staff.
Theft.
Use of slurs or insults.
Recommended Starting Penalty:
Tier 1: Disqualification
Tier 2: Disqualification
Cheating
Players who intentionally commit infractions are looking to gain an unfair advantage over other
players at the event. The Head Judge should carefully consider whether an infraction was
intentional or not before applying this penalty. If the Head Judge feels that an infraction was
unintentional, this penalty should not be applied.
Examples of Unsporting Conduct: Cheating include:
Drawing extra cards.
Taking cards from the discard pile and adding them to your hand or deck.
Offering any form of compensation to an opponent for a concession.
Altering match results after the result has been agreed upon and the match slip has
been signed by both players.
Playing with marked cards.
Lying to event staff.
Arbitrarily adjusting the Special Conditions or damage counters put on any Pokémon in
play.
Use of dubious game actions intended to deceive your opponent into making misplays.

For an arm to break, an elbow to bend
Something floats along my eye, its gone now
Something floats along the Eagle Nebula
This object’s light diffuses across the memory of a long night
It can be seen reflected in the waxed linoleum floors of
The (now closed) Pathmark off North Broad Street
Turn off the florescent lights, then imagine
Gliding across the Pillars of Creation in a
Chrome shopping cart
Back on earth, dust will fill the shadows of my hands
As the two form prayers
Underneath a clinic’s unassuming drop ceiling
Riding the bus, thinking about rough knuckles,
Hairy pits, and morning breath
Rereading messages, occasionally
Looking out the windows/imagining the self
Something unrealized but fulfilling
“No answer, except acceptance” – they say to me as I walk out
Any minor gloom will turn the slim comfort of this
Distracting peasouper into a bed without pillows
So memorize the expression I make before saying “maybe”
As sand shoots up into the mesosphere, becomes glass,
And rains back down
Capture the smell of this world ending in fire and remain cautious
Of shiny, yet sharp, things that only mirror the worst angles


What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand, use and manage your emotions in a positive way to relieve stess, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. It can help you with connecting with your feelings, turn your intention into action and make informed decisions about what matters the most to you.
There are five categories of Emotional Intelligence
The ability to recognize and understand your own emotions and their impact on others. Emotional self-awareness allows you to identify behavioural and emotional aspects of ourselves which then can be improved.
The ability to manage one's negative or disruptive emotions and adpat to changes in circumstances. Those who are skilled in self-regualtion excel in managing conflict, adapt well to change and are more likely to take responsibility.
The ability to self-motivate with a focus on achieving internal or self-gratification as opposed to external praise or reward. Individuals who are able to motivate themselves in this way have a tendency to be more committed and goal focused.
The ability to recognise and understand how others are feeling and consider those feelings before responding in social situations. Empathy allows an individual to understand dynamics that influence relationships, both personal and professional.
The ability to manage the emotions of others through emotional understanding. These skills are used to build rapport and connection with people through active listening as well as verbal and nonverbal communication.
Whats the difference between EQ and IQ?
EQ (Emotional Quotient) and IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and measurments gained through a standardized test. EQ measures someone's social and emotional competency and IQ someone's intellectual reasoning. Apparently EQ is acquired and can be improved where as IQ is something you're born with (not sure I believe that you're IQ can't be improved or developed).
A person with good EQ can recognise, control and express one's own emotions as well as perceive and assess others. A person with a high IQ can learn, understand and implement knowledge and possess logical reasoning and abstract thinking.
In my opinion
One of the key differences between IQ and EQ is the social status and applause that you receive for them. Being an emptionally intelligent person doesn't equate to an access of power or influence. If that were the case why aren't there women in more high paying leadership roles? Winning Grammy's or Nobel prizes? Emotional intelligence might make you a good employee but I don't think it equates to access to power. I question Dev Academys intent in preparing us for the work place. As women, were are conditioned from a young age to be 'nice' and 'palatable', often sacrificing our own wants and needs to not be more unlikeable. I don't think this task on emotional intelligence is particularly useful for most non-cis white men but rather is further grooming us to be more receptive to the over bearing needs of our superiors. I also don't think that having a high EQ means that you necessarily CARE for others, but that you are able to emotionally manipulate youreself and others.

fully customizable by users.
How lifelib works
You can create an actuarial projection model as modelx Model object by:
- Creating a project folder from a lifelib project template,
- Build a modelx Model from source modules and
input data in the project, by running
build
function.
Once the model is built, they are available as a modelx Model object
in Python console. The model is composed of Space.
Spaces contain Cells and other spaces.
Cells are much like cells in spreadsheets, which in turn, can store
formulas and associated values.
With a lifelib model, you can:
- Get calculated values by simply accessing model elements,
- Change the model by changing input and writing formulas in Python,
- View the tree of model elements in graphical user interface,
- Output results to Pandas objects,
- Save the model, load it back again, and do much more.
Start from Quick Start page.
Feature highlights
- Formulas and their calculated values paired as Cells,
just like spreadsheet cells
- Relevant cells grouped together as a Space, just like a spreadsheet
- Spaces in other spaces (subspaces), forming trees of spaces
- Object-oriented Model composed of spaces
- Space inheritance
- Parametrized dynamic subspaces created automatically
- Saving to / loading from files
- Conversion to Pandas objects
- Reading data from Excel files
- Cells graph to track cells interdependency
Why lifelib?
- Better model integrity and extensibility
- For readable formula expressions
- For eliminating spreadsheet errors
- For better version control/model governance
What for?
- Pricing / Profit testing
- Model validation / testing
- Prototyping for production models
- As corporate models
- For simulations
- As replacement for any spreadsheet models


This is a demo for a simple multi-select widget built on jQuery. I built this to fulfill requirements for a form and continue to lean on it. It's a pretty straight-forward and practical widget.
The widget was designed for use with forms. The first select box is populated using array data. The buttons simply move options between the two select boxes. I've also added a text input for users to manually add entries.
The widget is compatible with form validation libraries. I've used it with both jQuery Validator and Kendo UI validation.
At this point, I have not designed the widget for use on mobile platforms. It works but the look and feel are not elegant to say the least. I expect to update this in the future.

A patch file size = 162 KB. Wih 768 Kbps DSL (96 KB/s), it takes 1.6875 seconds to download if uncompressed. That is 15.1875 seconds for 9 patches, and 8.4375 seconds for 5 of them.
The current map's memory size in bytes:
Total: 30 MB for current terrain. This is 1.17% of the memory in my computer which has 2.5 GB of memory. This is 0.3% of the memory in a server with 8 GB of memory.
How much memory does an MMO server typically have?
Alternatively, only cache in memory the patches where players are located. If the server's maximum player count is 500, the worst case scenario is 1072 MB regardless of the map's size.
Movement validation can work as follows: holding the key does send a packet to move forward one unit, but will not send another until the time required to move 1 unit, has passed. The client will animate. Assume the speed is approximately 2 units per second, which is 2 network transfers per second.


During an upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP1 I had a nasty problem. After the upgrade of the Unified Messaging server the server didn’t accept any calls.
In this case the Unified Messaging server was connected to a Nortel CS1000 which used the Subscriber Access and Auto-Attendant of Exchange.
But how can you find out what is going wrong? First a look at the event log may be usefull but in this case nothing strange could be found there. Because the default log level is set to a low level it was necessary to raise the log level to a higher level. This can be done via two methods:
- Exchange Management Console
- Exchange Management Shell
Exchange Management Console
- open the Exchange Management Console
- select the node server management
- select the Unified Messaging server
- select the option Manage Diagnostics Logging in the right menu
- search for MsExchange Unified Messaging in the list
- raise the logging level for the following items: UMCalldata, UMCore and UMService
Exchange Management Shell
- open the Exchange Management Shell
- execute the following Powershell cmdlets:
Set-EventlogLevel “Servername\MSExchange Unified Messaging\UMCalldata”
-level Expert
Set-EventlogLevel “Servername\MSExchange Unified Messaging\UMCore”
-level Expert
Set-EventlogLevel “Servername\MSExchange Unified Messaging\UMService”
-level Expert
Don’t forget to reset the logging level to the original level when you are ready with troubleshooting.
When the logging level is raised it’s time to reproduce the issue. This can be done by, for example, call the Subscriber Access.
In this case this doesn’t help you much either so there was one option left: use a sniffer. Personally my favorite is Wireshark which can be downloaded for free from this site.
Once installed it’s time to reproduce the issue again, don’t forget to enable the capture before doing this.
When you have reproduced the issue you will see a lot of messages which are captured. Among them messages which are from the protocol type SIP. Select one of these rules and select the option Analyze _followed by _Follow TCP Stream. This will give an overview of all SIP messages.
Normally you will see the messages below:
When the problem occurs you will find only two messages Invite and Moved Temporarily:
</em>FROM: “Johan Veldhuis”<sip:110@pabx.local;user=phone>;tag=4ed6938-a161f0a-13c4-40030-6e2965-28e24116-6e2965 </p>
</em>TO: <sip:101@pabx.local;user=phone>;epid=EEBEB645D0;tag=4c63a61135 </p>
</em>CSEQ: 1 INVITE </p>
</em>CALL-ID: 5219808-a161f0a-13c4-40030-6e2965-72d8d4f0-6e2965 VIA: SIP/2.0/TCP <IP_ADDRESS>:5060;branch=z9hG4bKc2922de4f77bdbe59f2613f3.1,SIP/2.0/TCP <IP_ADDRESS>:5060;received=<IP_ADDRESS>;branch=z9hG4bK-6e2965-ae51b48a-6f4d0e7 </p>
</em>CONTACT: <sip:101@pabx.local:5065;user=phone;transport=Tcp;maddr=pabx.local> </p>
</em>CONTENT-LENGTH: 0 </p>
</em>SERVER: RTCC/<IP_ADDRESS> </div>
When having a look at the trace above you will see that besides port 5060 also port 5065 is used. Exchange UM will try to redirect the traffic to port 5065. As the Nortel will continue to send messages to port 5060 the call won’t succeed. To solve this issue you will need to make a modification to the trunk so it will send messages via poty 5065 instead of 5060.
Once this has been changed the Nortel will be able to setup a connection to the Exchange UM server. But is this a real solution? Not really but this will require some additional explanation.
So why does Exchange wants to redirect the traffic to port 5065 and doesn’t use port 5060 which is used for SIP by default. Port 5060 is also used by Exchange for SIP but besides this another process is running called the UM Worker process which does the real work. Exchange will use the following ports for this:
The Exchange UM Worker process will be recycled once a week, this may has as a result that the Nortel can’t setup a connection after one week. This because the UM Worker process is recycled and now is using 5067.
But is there a solution for this issue? Well at this moment there isn’t one but I think somebody in the background is working hard on a solution for this. So for now we have the following options:
Because all options are not really a good solution you may need to choose the best of these three, from my point of view the last one.
If you would like to have more info about the Exchange 2010 UM process have a look at the following site.

Ryan Griffin Pulled Out A Classic ‘Sticky Hands’ Celebration After TD Against Redskins (VIDEO)
by Darrelle LincolnThe best thing the NFL did was relax on the players and let them be creative and entertain fans with the different types of celebrations they come up with every week.
Such was the case during the Jets-Redskins matchup when New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin scored a touchdown and then celebrated by bringing out a classic sticky hands move that will be recognized by Madden players who remember seeing in the early 2000’s.
NFL fans loved it:


System files must have correct permissions to ensure that 1) various system utilities and applications can access them as needed, and 2) users or hackers cannot steal data or maliciously modify these files and make them behave unexpectedly.
/etc/gshadow contains security information (such as hashed passwords) and should be protected from both read and write access.
typing ls -l [filename] or stat [filename] will display the file's current permissions.
To change the file permission octal to 640, type sudo chmod 640 /etc/gshadow.
To change the owner of the file to root, type sudo chown 0 /etc/gshadow.
To change the file group to shadow, type sudo chgrp 42 /etc/gshadow.
That should do it!


Philippines: Basilan child is country’s 8th polio case
by News DeskBy NewsDesk @infectiousdiseasenews
Philippines health officials reported the eighth confirmed polio case since September. The most recent case is a nine-year old unvaccinated girl from Basilan.
The Department of Health (DOH) is currently coordinating with the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao – Ministry of Health to maximize immunization coverage and intensify polio vaccination efforts in Basilan. Health Secretary Francisco Duque III assured that the stocks of oral polio vaccine are sufficient and that preparations for the outbreak response immunization for the outbreak response immunization are underway.
DOH reminded the public of the next round of Sabayang Patak Kontra Polio from November 25 to December 7 in the National Capital Region and the whole of Mindanao. All children under five years of age, regardless of immunization status, will receive a dose of the oral polio vaccine during the campaign.
“I urge all parents and caregivers of children under five years old to take part in the Sabayang Patak Kontra Polio campaign and have their children vaccinated by our health workers,” Duque emphasized.
Health workers and vaccination teams are set to go house-to-house to ensure that all children under five years of age are vaccinated. Health centers, government hospitals, fixed vaccination posts in barangays, malls, terminals, and fast food chains, among others, will also be providing vaccination.

“We are thankful for the participation and continued support of our local government units and communities in this campaign. I am confident that we will be successful in halting this outbreak if we continue to work together and make sure that no child is left unvaccinated,” the Health Secretary concluded.
According to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, The Philippines is affected by both circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 1 (cVDPV1) and circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2).

The jdb
utility is included in the JDK as an example command-line debugger. The jdb
utility uses the Java Debug Interface (JDI) to launch or connect to the target JVM. The source code for jdb
is included in $JAVA_HOME/demo/jpda/examples.jar
.
The JDI is a high-level Java API that provides information useful for debuggers and similar systems that need access to the running state of a (usually remote) virtual machine. JDI is a component of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA). See Java Platform Debugger Architecture.
The following sections provide troubleshooting techniques for jdb utility.
In JDI, a connector is the means by which the debugger connects to the target JVM. The JDK traditionally ships with connectors that launch and establish a debugging session with a target JVM, as well as connectors that are used for remote debugging (using TCP/IP or shared memory transports).
The JDK also ships with several Serviceability Agent (SA) connectors that allow a Java language debugger to attach to a crash dump or hung process. This can be useful in determining what the application was doing at the time of the crash or hang.
These connectors are SACoreAttachingConnector
, SADebugServerAttachingConnector
, and SAPIDAttachingConnector
.
These connectors are generally used with enterprise debuggers, such as the NetBeans integrated development environment (IDE) or commercial IDEs. The following sections demonstrate how these connectors can be used with the jdb
command-line debugger.
For detailed information about the connectors, see the Connection and Invocation Details from the JPDA documentation.
The command jdb -listconnectors
prints a list of the available connectors. The command jdb -help
prints the command usage help.
For more details on the jdb
utility, see the command man pages for:
Example 2-13 uses the SA PID Attaching Connector to attach to a process. The target process is not started with any special options; that is, the -agentlib:jdwp
option is not required. When this connector attaches to a process it does so in read-only mode: the debugger can examine threads and the running application, but it cannot change anything. The process is frozen while the debugger is attached.
The command in Example 2-13 instructs jdb
to use a connector named sun.jvm.hotspot.jdi.SAPIDAttachingConnector
. This is a connector name rather than a class name. The connector takes one argument named pid
, whose value is the process ID of the target process (9302
).
Example 2-13 jdb Connector for a PID
$jdb -connect sun.jvm.hotspot.jdi.SAPIDAttachingConnector:pid=9302

In this example, the threads
command is used to get a list of all threads. Then a specific thread is selected with the thread 0x7
command, and the where
command is used to get a thread dump. Next, the up 1
command is used to move up one frame in the stack, and the where
command is used again to get a thread dump.
The SA Core Attaching Connector is used to attach the debugger to a core file. The core file might have been created after a crash, see Troubleshoot System Crashes. The core file can also be obtained by using the gcore
command on Oracle Solaris operating system or the gcore
command in gdb
on Linux. Because the core file is a snapshot of the process at the time the core file was created, the connector attaches in read-only mode: the debugger can examine threads and the running application at the time of the crash.
This command in Example 2-14 instructs jdb
to use a connector named sun.jvm.hotspot.jdi.SACoreAttachingConnector
. The connector takes two arguments: javaExecutable
and core
. The javaExecutable
argument indicates the name of the Java binary. The core
argument is the core file name (the core from the process with PID 20441 as shown in Example 2-14).
To debug a core file that has been transported from another machine, the operating system versions and libraries must match. In this case you can first run a proxy server called the SA Debug Server. Then, on the machine where the debugger is installed, you can use the SA Debug Server Attaching Connector to connect to the debug server.
In Example 2-15, there are two machines: machine1 and machine2. A core file is available on machine1 and the debugger is available on machine2. The SA Debug Server is started on machine1 as shown in Example 2-15.
The jsadebugd
command takes two arguments. The first argument is the name of the executable. Usually, this is java
, but it can be another name (in embedded VMs, for example). The second argument is the name of the core file. In this example, the core file was obtained for a process with PID 20441 using the gcore
utility.
On machine2, the debugger connects to the remote SA Debug Server using the SA Debug Server Attaching Connector, as shown in Example 2-16.
Example 2-16 Connect to Remote SA Debug Server
$ jdb -connect sun.jvm.hotspot.jdi.SADebugServerAttachingConnector:debugServerName=machine1
This command in Example 2-16 instructs jdb
to use a connector named sun.jvm.hotspot.jdi.SADebugServerAttachingConnector
. The connector has one argument, debugServerName
, which is the host name or IP address of the machine where the SA Debug Server is running.
|
Note: The SA Debug Server can also be used to remotely debug a hung process. In that case, it takes a single argument, which is the PID of the process. In addition, if it is required to run multiple debug servers on the same machine, each one must be provided with a unique ID. With the SA Debug Server Attaching Connector, this ID is provided as an additional connector argument. For more information on these and other related details, see the JPDA documentation. |


After understanding some basic linux commands, we will continue to introduce other intermediate linux commands.
1. cat
Use the this command to display the contents of a file. It is usually used to easily view programs.
2. nano, vim
These are already installed text editors in the Linux command line. The nano command is a good text editor that denotes keywords with color and can recognize most languages. And vim is simpler than nano. You can create a new file or modify a file using this editor.
3. sudo (SuperUser Do)
A widely used command in the Linux command line, sudo stands for “SuperUser Do”. So, if you want any command to be done with administrative or root privileges, you can use the sudo command. You can also use the command “su” to do this, but you need to set a root password before that. For that, you can use the command “sudo passwd”(not misspelled, it is passwd). Then type in the new root password.
4. echo
This command helps us move some data, usually text into a file. For example, if you want to create a new text file or add to an already made text file, you just need to type in, “echo hello, my name is alok » new.txt”.
5. df
Use this command to see the available disk space in each of the partitions in your system. You can just type in df in the command line and you can see each mounted partition and their used/available space in % and in KBs. If you want it shown in megabytes, you can use the command “df -m”. Also, use the command “df -g”, if you want to change to gigabytes.
6. du
Use this command to know the disk usage of a file in your system. If you want to know the disk usage for a particular folder or file in Linux, you can type in the command df and the name of the folder or file. For example, if you want to know the disk space used by the documents folder in Linux, you can use the command “du Documents”. You can also use the command “ls -lah” to view the file sizes of all the files in a folder.
7. tar
Use this command to work with tarballs (or files compressed in a tarball archive) in the Linux command line. It has a long list of uses. It can be used to compress and uncompress different types of tar archives like .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, etc. It works on the basis of the arguments given to it. You can see more examples for tar by this link.
8. zip, unzip
Use zip to compress files into a zip archive, and unzip to extract files from a zip archive.
9. uname
Use this command to show the information about the system your Linux distro is running. Using the command “uname -a” prints most of the information about the system. This prints the kernel release date, version, processor type, etc.
10. apt-get
Use apt to work with packages in the Linux command line. Use apt-get to install packages. This requires root privileges, so use the sudo command with it. For example, if you want to install downloader wget (this can download files from url), we can type in the command “sudo apt-get install wget”. Similarly, any packages can be installed like this. It is good to update your repository each time you try to install a new package. You can do that by typing “sudo apt-get update”. You can upgrade the system by typing “sudo apt-get upgrade”. We can also upgrade the distro by typing “sudo apt-get dist-upgrade”. The command “apt-cache search” is used to search for a package. If you want to search for one, you can type in “apt-cache search wget”(this doesn’t require root).
11. hostname
Use this command to know your name in your host or network. Basically, it displays your hostname and IP address. Just typing “hostname” gives the output.
12. ping
Use this command to check your connection to a server. Wikipedia says, “Ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network”. Simply, when you type in, for example, “ping google.com”, it checks if it can connect to the server and come back. It measures this round-trip time and gives you the details about it.
