LIXA (LIbre XA) is a Transaction Manager implementing the distributed transaction processing "XA specification" and "TX (transaction demarcation) specification" according to the X/Open CAE Specification. LIXA is a Transaction Manager but it's not a Transaction Monitor; this is the distinguishing feature of the project. LIXA technology enables every application container, like a Web server or a shell, to become an XA compliant application server. The client/server architecture of LIXA allows many application containers to share a single LIXA (state) server; this is ideal when horizontal scalability is a must and many identical application containers must refer to a single transactional environment. Performance, scalability, and high availability are key features of the project. LIXA can be used with the C, C++, and PHP programming languages.

Great Italian Seafood! – This is my favorite restaurant in LA for crudo, which is sashimi-like fish but with an Italian spin. They use olive oils and other toppings on the fish. I once had a squid ink pasta with uni that was amazing as well. The wine list is superb, and they snagged one of the best sommeliers in the city after Norman's closed, Peter Birmingham. Great cocktails here too and service is good. It's not a hot spot per se, though you may see an occasional celebrity in here. Also, visit during summer when the chef does special tomato menus from his garden.
Mixed bag – Neither as good nor as bad as billed. Pleasant atmosphere, charming service. Chef-owner himself came out to discuss options w/ my 10-yr-old daughter, who wanted something off-menu. BUT waiter twice overlooked 1 in r party of 6 (not the same 1 each time); no butter or oil w/ bread; plates repeatedly put in front of wrong person; dishes were removed half-full, without asking! Portions v small--do order 3-5 courses. Ordinary pasta, fish bla. Best: tomatoes, desserts, esp choc gelato. Overall, definitely overpriced
I had expected so much more – I had my family in town in from New York and I wanted to take them out to dinner to show them that LA could compete with New York when it came to fine Italian cuisine. I had researched various restaurants meticulously and it seemed that overall Il Grano was going to make a strong case for LA gourmet. Fresh organic produce, daily catch fish and an ever-changing menu are a staple of Il Grano. And while all of the food was most certainly fresh and imaginatively prepared, it was nothing to write home about. Both myself and my brother-in-law had the vegetarian 5-course tasting menu. It is prepared fresh daily specifically based around the likes/dislikes of each particular customer. I told them I was not fond of carrots. My main course, a rather uninspired plated of braised vegetables, featured what else - carrots! My girlfriend ordered one of the fish specials and it was bland and undercooked. Overall, the food was decent; but certainly not worthy of any praise. Had our meal not taken almost three hours - it was almost 1 1/2 hours before we received our first course - perhaps my overall opinion would have been better. But the service was slow and our waiter continuously tried to upsell us on more liquor in the 30 minute waits between courses. The night was sealed when the chef came out to ask us how our meal was. We explained to him how the service had been painfully slow and that had really brought the night as a whole down. Rather than apologize he returned to our table a few moments later with our bill to show us when our order was put in and justify why it had taken three hours for us to get our food. I was embarrassed for both myself and my family, but especially for him. To think that after paying well over $400 for dinner for 5 that I had to sit through the head chef offering excuses rather than apologies for a negative dining experience, that pretty much said it all. I would never eat at Il Grano again; nor would I suggest it to anyone else.
One of the best Italian spots in LA – Continuing our quest to find the best Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, my wife and I were thoroughly wowed by Il Grano this week. The menu is born of seasonal ingredients and is changed monthly. There is enough variety to satisfy most palates and the dishes are creatively executed. A five course tasting menu is available, as is a vegetarian tasting menu. Additionally, there is a sort of Italian Omakase, where you tell the chef how many courses you want and he gives you whatever inspires him that evening.
Let's get to our meal. For our antipasti, my wife had the artichoke salad and I had the famous crudo. Her dish was good, but mine would have put many of the best sushi restaurants in LA to shame. I paired this course with a nice glass of Sicilian Grillo.
Next we decided to split a pasta course, so we could each have room for a secondi. All except one of their pastas was fresh made on the premises. I forgot the name of the pasta we ordered, but it was almost like a slightly larger macaroni and was prepared with spiny lobster, pureed cauliflower and black truffle shavings. It was like a sort of cheeseless macaroni and cheese, yet it was SO much more. Very tasty. I paired it with a great California Chardonnay.
For our main course, I went with the braised short rib and my wife had the salt-baked branzino. Once again the fish was a standout here, and the branzino was some of the best I've had this side of the pond. My short rib was very good, but I wish he would have left the bone in. De-boning it can take away some of the flavor and leave it a little dry. I paired it with a great glass of Barolo.
We barely had any room left, but we felt that if the meal was this good, we needed to at least try some dessert. We weren't disappointed! They had two novel dessert pasta dishes; a ravioli and a lasagna. We went with the ricotta, roasted pink lady apple, walnut, and golden raisin filled ravioli. VERY tasty. They were a perfect cap to an amazing meal.
Best Italian in LA!!! The tasting menu is a MUST – This I probably the best restaurant experience I have ever had. I've been to many LA restaurants and for some reason have never heard of Il Grano. However, after a friends recommendation, we decided to try it out. First off the decor and atmosphere was very low key, elegant, and relaxing (which is uncommon for LA). From what the charming host told us, they recently remodeled and the place and it looked very modern and sleek. However the highlight is when our server told us about the must have TASTING MENU. Basically, the chef created a five course meal for my wife and I, which was absolutely phenomenal. We had raw fish, pasta, and incredible desserts. I highly recommend Il Grano. Food was wonderful, service was flawless, and the wine list is definitely approachable.
This is the worst Italian restaurant I have ever been to. – Because the other reviews were glowing, I was excited about trying this restaurant. Unfortunately, for the prices the food was terrible. The bass we ordered tasted bland, and it didn't taste fresh. The Foccacia bread was fantastic though. I ordered a raviolo, and the creamed corn tasted like it came from it can. It was freshly made, but it tasted very regular like from the grocery store. I am a frequent goer of Italian restaurants, and I was very disappointed. I have to say though that all the staff was very nice although our server was confused about what the specials were.
Organic produce enhances nuanced Italian cuisine at this upscale West L.A. eatery. – The Scene
Falling somewhere between bistro-intimate and haute cuisine-elegant, this retooled dining room hums with the mellow chatter of a mature, Westside crowd. Warm lighting pours from gauze-fixtures, softening the all-white, unembellished interior. Sommelier Peter Birmingham, with a company of well-synched servers, seeks to engage each guest, gliding from kitchen to bar to table to drop suggestions and samples. An intimate, post-supper greeting from chef-owner Sal Marino relieves some stuffiness from the space.
The Food
Altered every month, the inventive, nouveau-Italian menu is enriched by seasonal produce and artful plating. Reputable crudo plates change daily, marrying slivers of fresh fish with flavor accents; albacore tuna shines on a bed of creamy daikon radishes and Meyer lemon sauce. Fish continues to reign as the memorable entree option, with plates like mouthwatering, salt-baked sea bass. Fresh goat cheese and walnut tuilles bathe in a warmed, white peach soup, an afterthought that is at once delicate and divine.
I don't get it? Two words: extremely disappointing – Awful. It defies logic that this had a 9.5 rating at the time of my visit.
I had the "tasting menu," and what a disappointment. As my 1st course, I received what was clearly "left over" scraps from my guest's sushi appetizer; while the folks at the table next to us, having ordered same, received something different (but it didn't look any better). Thereafter, I received 1/3 of a shrimp (yes, that's right) that tasted fishy. My 3rd dish was a small portion of pasta w/ red sauce that was absolutely uneventful & deficient in taste. The 4th dish (which I sent back and got the bill) was the worst fish entree I've ever been served. It was so salty it was inedible, not to mention that it was "beyond" fishy (2 bites left me w/ an awful aftertaste for hours). My guests also tried my "fish" and, too, were disgusted. I advised the mgr that the food was "very sub par" (sent it back), and was responded to very rudely. The food was simply NOT GOOD, and that alone warrants a 3 out of 10 rating. But, alas, it gets better: I requested a "wine paring" with my menu. The paring was laughable. The amt of wine in each "paring" (one came w/ ea. dish) was, frankly, 1 swallow. The 6-course paring at a HEFTY fee would have been (had I had all courses) cumulatively about a half glass of wine (in total!).
The experience as a whole was dreadful. We waited 30-40 mins for our 1st courses. [Because I had the wine paring, during this wait, I had nothing to drink. No one apologized for the inexplicable wait.]
This visit was a 40th bday dinner. My 2 guests ordered from the menu. One said his halibut was excessively dry; the other had an oxtail pasta dish (touted as a specialty) that he found to be lackluster and way overpriced. The bill was close to $300 (and NO, the restaurant did not reduce the price of my tasting menu or wine paring EVEN THOUGH I returned the 4th dish and skipped the last 2). Never again.
Deliciously Overpriced – Il Grano has a tasteful, minimalist atmosphere, a good wine selection, and the food is very good. Oxtail ravioli were buttery, savory, and scrumptious, as were the menu staples "fantasia" (sushi medley) and halibut with potato-corn bed.
That said, the service was somewhat aloof, especially toward the end of the meal, when we probably spent 45 minutes between finishing entrees and getting the bill. And the bill itself, dinner for two with a cheap half-bottle of wine, was 200 bucks! The food was good, but it was NOT that good. I'd rather spend that much money at La Cachette or JiRaffe, where you know the food is consistently exquisite, and the fine dining intangibles like service will be perfect.
In short, worth a try, but brace your wallet.
True to Italy – In all my years traveling to various regions throughout Italy, I have rarely found a restaurant true to authentic cooking here in L.A....until now. I was pleasantly surprised to meet Chef Marino who shared his secret ingredient for one of the best lasagna's I have ever experienced. Although the service wasn't perfect, the attitude was polite and the warmth of owner Marino was infectious. Everything tasted on the menu was exquisite, including the refreshing desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant for any meal or occasion...before leaving, I booked a party of 10 for a birthday celebration. In all my years of dining experience (more than 10), I urge you to consider Il Grano for your next meal.
Do not go to this restaurant! – This was one of the worst experiences of my dinning life. I went there with a group of friends. The table was not ready, we were on time. They seated us and we didn't get a menu or any waiter for about 15 minutes. The service was horrible. I have to mention that the noise level was the worst I have experienced in 10 years of dinning. It sounded like I was in a chicken koop. I couldn't hear a thing anyone said. The food was so bad I couldn't finish it, either could anyone else. I was shocked at the bill, I don't mind paying for great food but this was so out of line. I do not recommend this place to anyone at all! Please take my word on this one.

In the ten years that Chicago public schools has been taking "action" against low performing or low enrollment schools, it has almost always been a battle. People don't like change, teachers feel they're under attack, parents don't trust promises from the Board of Education, and security is an issue in many neighborhoods. There's a lot to fuss about.
The plan announced Thursday takes on more schools at one time than ever, so it's an even bigger fuss, but CPS insists the pain will be forgotten when students start winning -- and offers several examples.
OFFICIAL LIST: Click HERE to see list of 61 CPS school buildings to close
"My female engineer who was here would take the roof to walk from one side of the building to the next, because she didn't wanna walk through the students," Marquette principal Latarsha Green says.
"No learning, fighting, violence, disrespecting, you know, it wasn't really an atmosphere where kids could actually wanna come to school and learn," parent Shimaya Hudson Puller says.
Puller is a mother of three who lobbied the school board for the turnaround plan--where all the adults are replaced. Even with the school's long history of low performance, her position was unpopular.
"It created a lot of tension, you know, with me not welcome anymore," Puller says.
"She has seen a drastic change in the education that her children have received in previous years compared to this year," Maria Isabel Rodriguez says.
The prospect of change had everybody stressed out last year, including Marquette sixth grader Salvador Madera Jr. He admits he was a bit nervous about the process and having new teachers.
"I thought they were gonna be real mean," Madera Jr. says.
Another sixth grader, Trinity Bennett, said that, "at first it was scary, until we just got to know everybody and then it turned out really nice."
"Students are growing in reading as well as math and so we're excited about it," Principal Green adds.
It has only been 7 months at Marquette, so for hard data, CPS sends us to Morton Elementary where it's been five years since every adult was replaced in a school that has deep roots in its west side neighborhood.
"My parents went here, and then I had six cousins that went here years ago, and then it was just really bad, it was like terrible," says Donna Taylor, mother of two Morton students.
Taylor says change was still scary and they felt badly for the longtime staff who had to re-apply if they wanted to keep their jobs. But in five years, test scores have gone from just over 40 percent of students meeting state standards, to nearly 80 percent.
"Excellence is the expectation," says Morton Academic Director Sharron Carroll. "That's what we breathe here, and you know that's what we want our kids to know, and our kids know that."
The teachers are careful not to judge what used to happen here, but their training is different; through AUSL, the Academy for Urban School Leadership.
"I was told before coming here that, you know, the work was strenuous but it doesn't seem any different from any other school that I've, you know, worked at," Morton teacher Raven Daniels says.
But the outcomes at these "turned around" schools are quite different. Local families say there's pride in what's now called the Morton School of Excellence.

It's The Queen of Hearts,
A very big part of this story.
I should have known that she would be first on the scene.
but now she is followed by someone who's mean.
The next to arrive through the looking glass is.....
her terrible two faced cousin,
Mean Miss Liz
a.k.a. the Knave or thief of hearts.
Hey, here comes the countess, the countess of hearts
Don't worry she's nice, but not from these parts.
Thank goodness!
My first guests are here!
But now I see a new face is near.
Yes, I see some movement in the tiny looking glass of the friendly fairy's home.
A friendly face is what I see. ......
the face of a tiny green gnome.
I welcome that cute, petite man. What the hey!
Come on through, I say!
Come on on through for the day!
He comes through the looking glass with patience and care.
Then points with his finger and shouts,
"What a strange pair!!! "
I look to the left
Haven't seen the likes of this since last I drank rum
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
I welcome you all to this mighty fine party!
So, let's go get started the others are tardy.
Make yourselves right at home.
now, let's be off to the parlor for tea and some fun.
Follow me
Follow me
if you please
to a tea party prepared for you
by the
They took such great care and delight
in getting things ready for three days and one night.
I look all around and in every detail
a bird or bee will be found without fail.
A cute pair of Robins sing a song just for me.
A giant Queen helps with the serving of tea,
while the other bees sit, smiling happily.
Well, I think
yes, I think
that it's time for a drink!
I will sample the tea in the pot with the spout that is pink
I would like to stir some honey into my tea
but as I reach for the spoon,
it looks like the queen bee is coming after me
Have no fear, she just wants to try on my ring my dear.
"Miss Bee"
I say,
Would like to wear my ring some day?
No, no not today,
I'm a busy bee
busy making lots of tea.
Is what she says to me.
This honey bee tea tastes so sweet and Divine
somehow, I just don't feel quite right or just fine.
I really feel odd and not like myself.
My head is a flutter and my poor brain feels fatter
Is it all because of the this crazy Mad Hatter?
and be sure to
A sweet little lady looking as oddly as I,
Says to just play the games and give them a try.
They will not make me cry
and the way I look
she tells me,
won't last very long
of course,
I tell a white lie.
Who's up for some fun?
Let's have a game of cards, says the Hatter and the Queen plays along.
She wants to play hearts
and the game of hearts is what she will play.
This is the game
the game of the day.
Of course , as we play
she wins,
she's the best!
She's so much better than all of the guests.
After this game more friends just show up.
Here comes one looking for a venetian tea cup.
The lovely Miss Mary Poppins floats in on balloons and as she arrives another guest swoons.
And who could miss this curious bunch.
They are the guests from venice.
They bring their handmade cups of tea
and their fabulous masks from the ports near their sea.
Across the oceans these guests did arrive
through the looking glass
not with the car that they drive.
The Italian clown and his Carnivale players
It's a game played with food and it's really quite good.
You eat the spaghetti much faster than you normally would.
The Queen just adores their masquerade game.
She plays along and looks the same.
She eats her spaghetti faster than flies.
Of course she wins and it's no surprise.
But how can she win?
She hardly tries.
Oh, no matter even if I don't win,
I do feel much like my old self again.
This day has been odd
this day makes me wonder
if I should be going
and that's what I ponder.
Before I can answer my question within
through the looking glass I see the March Hare popping in
and says with a grin
"Now that I'm here Let the chess games begin!"
So off to the game room all in all,
to play these fine games that we fondly recall.
The table is set by the carnival players with the curious games all piled up in layers.
Upon the game table I spy a small flask
I wonder what's in it
Do I dare ask?
I'll question the players who put on their masks.
I ask them and ask them and put them to task
"Drink that drink upon the table!"
I think I will drink it and then throw the dice
After my sip I speak to the gnome who asks me a question right out of the tome.
The little gnome asks me if Iam keen
to play a chess match against the masquerade queen.
He goes on to tell me that if I do play
he'll move the chess pieces for me on this day
The gnome moving pieces and me what a team
while the march hare sits and advises the queen
My thoughts they are muddy
This all makes me wonder
They played a good game and the Mad Hatter exclaims,
so thrilled is the Queen with her lovely heart box,
He says these here words then tells me a riddle
he tells me a secret but one that is little.
Your prize it awaits you
it's that precious rose,
that beautiful rose where a miracle grows.
I speak the truth so often in riddles
now go find out why a mini rose giggles.
I'm off to the white cage to claim my great prize.
I lift up my rose and the giggles get louder
Well, under the stem of my rose here I find
These babies look frightened but they will be fine
These are such sweet babies but they are not mine
These poor little babies they do need a home
or they will be snatched by that silly green gnome
I won this here game of croquet. Do you see?
Please leave a comment here today. These first little babies I must give away!
oh look here's the Mother, she's saying goodbye. Don't look there too closely, I think she could cry.
She says take good care of my babies, oh please!
I'm off now. I must quickly go back to the Seas.
It's The End of the Mad tea party story but more babies will soon be arriving at my new Etsy shop along with lots of other goodies.
Please stop by for more information about my new Etsy shop.
Thank You so much for visiting!!!

Myanmar's rich and varied cuisine is a direct reflection of its fertile land, variations in climate, and ethnic diversity. Having been fairly isolated from much of the world until recently, the country's culinary influences have come almost exclusively from neighbouring countries like India, China, and Thailand. While the spice levels are toned down when compared to its Southeast Asian neighbours, traditional Myanmar fare proudly stands on its own with strong flavors like ngapi (shrimp or fish paste), unique offerings like laphet thoke (a salad of pickled tea leaves), and its rich mix of spices such as turmeric, lemongrass, tamarind, and cilantro.

Porygon-Z was vastly over-hyped in the early stages of the 4th generation, claiming to be the only Pokemon that could OHKO Blissey with a special attack after just one turn of set-up. However, it soon fell into obscurity because of its average Speed and lack of resistances. With a couple of new move tutor attacks and some newly discovered sets, it is once more worth looking at for a slot on your team. Boasting the highest non-uber Special Attack in the game and a 160 Base Power Tri Attack (factoring in Adaptability and STAB), Porygon-Z is a potent addition to any team that can be tailored to its needs; it can 2HKO any Pokemon in the game after one Nasty Plot boost.
With Choice Specs equipped, Porygon-Z's Special Attack stat goes through the roof, reaching a whopping 607. Coupled with a 160 BP Tri Attack or a +1 Special Attack boost, it can mow down almost anything not named Blissey. Dark Pulse tears into any Ghost-type Pokemon, OHKOing all of them except Dusknoir and Spiritomb. Hidden Power Ground, boosted by Choice Specs, 2HKOes 4/0 Tyranitar with Stealth Rock on the field and hits all the Steel- and Rock-type Pokemon that resist Tri Attack hard. If you plan on running a Timid nature, Hidden Power Fighting may be used instead, as it gives the added bonus of OHKOing 4/0 Tyranitar.
Though it may be tempting to run Hyper Beam on this set just for the power it provides, it's nearly always a bad choice. In today's metagame, it only takes one turn for many of the top sweepers, such as Lucario, to set up and then OHKO you and possibly the rest of your team—and that's only if they don't just kill you outright while you're recharging! Tri Attack provides a much more reliable STAB move and is many times more forgiving if you fail to predict accurately.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Agility trades the power of Nasty Plot for much-needed Speed. Offensive teams may struggle to keep up. At +2 Speed, even Choice Scarf Flygon is outsped and taken out by Ice Beam. Hidden Power Ground deals a hefty 65% minimum to Choice Scarf Tyranitar with a Download boost, so with residual damage it should also be taken care of. The main reasons to use Hidden Power Ground, however, are Heatan and Magnezone. Hidden Power Fire is a lesser alternative, which gives you the power to OHKO Scizor as well as Skarmory, while 2HKOing Bronzong. If you know a Scizor is going to switch in, you can use it before Porygon-Z boosts with Agility to avoid Bullet Punch.
The EVs guarantee Porygon-Z after an Agility to be faster than 100s holding a Choice Scarf. Special Attack is maxed and the rest of the EVs are put into Hit Points. Scizor's Bullet Punch will do 74% maximum to Porygon-Z with the given EVs, but will still KO after Stealth Rock and two turns of Life Orb damage. To avoid being knocked out by Life Orb damage, you may opt to give this digital duck a Lum Berry or even Leftovers.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Once the flagship Porygon-Z set, the Nasty Plot sweeper has become a lot less useful due to Scizor and the ubiquity of Choice Scarf Pokemon. It still wields fearsome power, and can sweep an unprepared team. It's very simple to use and can 2HKO any Pokemon in the entire game after just one boost. Like on every other set, Tri Attack is Porygon-Z's most reliable STAB attack, while Dark Pulse hits Ghost-types, and Hidden Power Fighting hits Rock- and Steel-types for super effective damage. The biggest letdown is Porygon-Z's middling Speed. Base 90 Speed is outrun by a lot in OU. This makes it difficult to sweep some of the faster teams, but it is by no means a useless set.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Porygon-Z has a fairly large special attacking movepool; however, Tri Attack is so powerful that you should only consider moves that complement its type coverage. For the most part, you should be trying to hit Ghost-, Rock-, and Steel-types; Tri Attack will deal with everything else. Because of this, ignore moves such as Psychic, Signal Beam, SolarBeam, and Zap Cannon. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam have good coverage together, but are only useful on the Choice sets. Hyper Beam is a deadly suicide move, one that can even OHKO Blissey if a Modest Porygon-Z has a Nasty Plot and a Life Orb. However, it is difficult to find a moveslot for this attack.
Porygon-Z has an interesting support movepool as well, thanks to its more defensive pre-evolution, Porygon2. It includes Trick Room, Thunder Wave, Magnet Rise, Recycle, and more. They are better left to other Pokemon, as Porygon-Z packs so much power that it's better to spend your time destroying your targets instead of attempting to cripple them with status or play mind games. Conversion can be used with Dark Pulse and Nasty Plot (and a fourth move like Substitute, Recover, or another attack). Adaptability will make Dark Pulse as powerful as Tri Attack would once Porygon-Z is a Dark-type. The strategy takes two turns to set up, though: one to Conversion, making Porygon-Z a Dark-type (with STAB Adaptability Dark Pulse), and another to Nasty Plot, so you can do some damage. Using just Normal- and Dark-type moves will guarantee Conversion's turning you into a Dark-type. However, you can take a gamble and use a second attacking move as well.
Both of Porygon-Z's abilities are very potent and make it a dangerous special sweeper. Adaptability boosts the power of Tri Attack from 120 to 160 effective Base Power, giving it a considerable punch even when resisted. Download is recommended on the Choice sets, however. This is because Download boosts the power of all your special attacks by 1.5x if your target has lower Special Defense than Defense. Since you can only use one move, and it might not be Tri Attack, it is better to have that boost on your other moves as well. It is also interesting to note that a Download boosted Tri Attack is more powerful than an Adaptability boosted Tri Attack by 12%. This advantage is moot after a Nasty Plot, however. On Nasty Plot sets, Adaptability is far superior, because after one or two boosts, Tri Attack will destroy even Pokemon that resist it. On sets where you have no other means of boosting your Special Attack, use Download.
Checks and Counters
Porygon-Z can 2HKO anything in the game after a Nasty Plot, even Blissey, but often you only need to get one hit on it to knock Porygon-Z out. Its lack of resistances as a Normal-type and its average Speed make it easier to handle than it might appear. The fact that it is weak to both Vacuum Wave and Mach Punch helps, too.
Blissey is your best bet for countering Porygon-Z, especially ones with Toxic. Scizor with Bullet Punch can chase it away quite easily and come in on a resisted attack, and Lucario can use Vacuum Wave or ExtremeSpeed. Gengar can outrun Porygon-Z and use Focus Blast for a quick kill. Scarfed Heatran is a suitable revenge killer as well, with resistances to Tri Attack, Ice Beam, and Dark Pulse. Choice Scarf Tyranitar is in a similar boat to that of Heatran, but can Pursuit Porygon-Z as well. Basically take advantage of its average Speed and hit it with whatever you can. If you are bold enough, you can switch in a Pokemon such as Infernape or Gengar on Porygon-Z to outspeed and OHKO as it uses Nasty Plot.
The other sets are much easier to handle. Bulky Pokemon like Scizor, Metagross, and Tyranitar can switch in and scare them away, though Tyranitar must watch out for Hidden Power Ground, Fighting, or Water. Spiritomb, Dusknoir, and the Rotom formes can all switch in and attack it, but it's important to first find out if Porygon-Z is running Dark Pulse. Nearly anything faster than Porygon-Z that has powerful attacks, such as Azelf, can usually OHKO it or send it running. Paralysis is nearly as crippling to Porygon-Z as being hit by Scizor's Bullet Punch; once its Speed is quartered, there's really no way it's going to sweep.

Phife Dawg – D.R.U.G.S. LyricsFollow
[Phife Dawg]
When folks say they want some raw hip hop, guess who they quick to call?
Diggy Dawg, cuz my shit be neanderthal
Some call it primitive, retaining to an earlier time
Can't help but go back to them years like '89
When brothers gave a damn about the beats and rhymes
Now life is only by the party, ices worn by everybody
But what are you saying lyrically, come on, seriously
See that's what's wrong with this muthafucking industry
MC's be listening to they A&R friends
But they ain't your friends, they ain't into setting no trends
It's all about them, and how you can make them some ends
But fuck that, I'm here to make sure that skills transcend
Where there's a, pad and pen, Phife gon' make 'em some yen
With Mr. Fudge on his job, Hi-Tek on the blend
Wifey holding me down, granny singing me hymns
Urging me to praise God and keep my eyes on him
Just to look is at, see him, he's a mimic to me
Simply put things in perspective, on how to MC
And be an all I can be, done deal, and that's real
Phife the baby face of hip hop, with the raw whip appeal
[Hook: Phife Dawg (Hi-Tek)]
I'm here to do what I can do, and I'm done with that
(Yo, fuck that, this where the realness at)
I know you fraud ass rappers can't attest to that
(Yo, fuck that, this where the realness at)
Real rap's aim at the wig, while rest fake jack
(Yo, fuck that, that's where the realness at)
"The realness"
"And that's my word"
"Into that"
[Hook 2x: Phife Dawg]
One-time for your mind, this is how we do
Phife Dawg rock gems, Hi-Tek produce
And it don't stop, we got the sure shot
It's for the, it's for the, better men of hip hop
[Phife Dawg]
So you wanna be that superstar, but you more like nova
Shining for a week, by next Monday you're over
Anytime you see a mic, better look over your shoulder
BOW! Before you get smacked with the boulder
Thought my attitude was cold for you G? It's even colder
Bitter, MC's get kicked right in they shitter
Mut' Ranks, more controversial than Adolf Hitler
Test me, you getting cut with this here log splitter
Now who's iller, backs get snapped like Tostitos tortillas
My shit be killa dealer, Planet of the Apes, fuck a Magilla
Feel me, black, to Queens, New York, where y'all at?
Lick two shots out in the air, front front to back
Too many rappers running round, fronting like they the bomb
Or you hardly to be the first to read the 23rd psalm
Did you think you'd just get over, with the looks and charm
Or did you, study the style that the next was on?
Come on? Time's up for the fraudulent, peep the style that I implement
I'm say, God damn I'm so innocent
Shit's just so critical, niggas don't wanna hear the lyrical
And they wonder why this rap game's so God damn fickle
Peep the fake shit that the wack suburban rapper be on
One or two rappers from the projects they might sing love songs
Tell me, is something wrong? Damn, right, niggas ain't tight
And they won't be tomorrow, next Never-uary, and damn sure not tonight
You wanna know why? Cuz Diggy Dawg is in they eye sight
You wanna know why? Cuz Phife Dawg is in they eye sight
[Hook 4x]
