I've spent a lot of time breeding and team building for competitive play on the battle spot and utilized multiple resources. When I do free battles my teams get multiple wins even against teams full of legendary Pokemon or those commonly used in ranked battles. However when I play in ranked battles I repeatedly get beat, even by teams I may have defeated before. What am I doing wrong? Are the caliber of players that much better in ranked battles? It's starting to get frustrating and I'm losing the enthusiasm to play. I was hoping to participate in VGC tournaments but I'm not sure I would do so well. Any advice?

I have recently been hearing a strange sound in the front of the car when driving between 50 to 60 mph. I do not hear any noise when turning to help me determine which bearing it might be. I jacked up the car and checked both wheels to see if they had any play. I detected a slight horizontal play in the front passenger wheel. Is there any other way to check or symptoms to determine if it is the wheel bearing?

I adopted an 18yr old african grey parrot roughly 3 weeks ago. He had a very good attitude but was very hand shy. Over the last few weeks I've been working on trying to hand tame him with 2 or 3 sessions a day. about 5-10 minutes each. Eventually he allowed me to touch his beak, and would give me his left or right foot when asked and let me hold them in my fingers. I always made sure every interaction we've had was positive and not forced.

For the last 3 days I noticed he began refusing to step up when asked, and would only do so to get out of his cage. I've never forced him to step up, or pushed my hand into him, I always let him decide to do it. Yesterday afternoon I told him step up and he did. As I removed him from the cage, he clamped down on my wrist and chewed me for a good 15 seconds. I got him off by taking him near his out of cage perch, but even then it was still a hassle to get him off.

Today my roomate took him out of his cage (I don't know why). He did not clamp onto my roomate and was successfully put on a different perch. Later on he accepted treats from me, put his beak to my fingers without being asked, and willingly walked toward me. I then asked him to step so I could put him in his cage for his dinner. Once again he willingly did so, and once again I got a good chewing. I'm not sure what is causing this behavior. Any suggestions for a remedy?

I just bought a 2006 Mustang GT. It has the button by the radio controls which says "aux" and when you push it the screen reads "no audio source" but I can't find the input anywhere. It's not in the center console or anywhere visible. Could be it possibly be under the dash or somewhere not visible? if any knows please help

I need to get a student loan for around 4grand. I already tried to apply for one with my bank but i have no credit history. The other side to it is that no one will offer me any type of credit because of my lack of history, so im stuck in a loop hole.

The passenger side headlight on my 96 ford explorer blew out and i changed it. Just over 2 weeks later it blew out again. the other lights on the vehicle have been fine. what could be causing this? there is no moisture getting in, and the fuses seem fine.

My computer has one of those wifi built into it for it to attach to a network for it to go online. i turned it on last night and made a connection the internet was working fine and after several hours it stopped working and says it cant find an available network. it was feeding off my roomates internet and hers is still working, and she hasn't done anything to block it from sharing, so how can i fix it?

Why is it that some women who say they are happily married and that they love their husbands still go and cheat on them??

My girlfriend and i were talking about our future the other nite, and she said that she thinks we should stop having sex and wait until we are married. i dont understand where this came from. we are both adults on our own and independent. and we take all the proper precautions. i just dont understand what made her come up with this. I love her and im not gonna dump her over something like this but if she wanted to wait until marriage why didnt it stop her with her previous boyfriends, or with me? why the change all of a sudden? If she loves me so much that she wants to have a future with me how does her not wanting to have sex anymore make sense?

How does it make a woman feel if the man she's with thinks she is cheating on him, or just keeping him around to use him if she isnt? What would her response be and how would you deal with it.

Because of past problems with relationships i have trust issues. Its starting to affect my current relatioinship because i cant let go of the past, and forget things and move on. I cant really afford counseling right now but what other things can i do to help avoid causing more problems and drive her away from me??

For the show Cheaters, how much does it cost the client if their investigation doesnt qualify for an episode? i went to the site but i couldnt get the contact page to go through.

My girlfriend got a ticket yesterday. Sometimes she doesn't get off work early enough and may not make it to the courthouse in time. If she gives me the money and paperwork, can i go and pay the ticket in her place? I live in Florida if that helps.

My girlfriend and i have been together for over a year. Because of a past relationship i do have trust issues. I know shes not that kind of girl but sometimes i over think things or i bring it up w her and question her about things. its starting to put a strain on our relationship. How can i solve this besides counseling (im low on money right now)? its just hard for me to have complete trust in anyone and be more relaxed about things.
