I've always loved photos like these!!!
thx skunk. we're working on a better solution for the photo viewer. i don't like this one either, but generally hate the other stuff that's out there too. maybe a custom build soon.

Thanks for the inspirational kick in the pants Chase!
The man on the road is my favorite and most intriguing thing I have seen in a while. It definitely has an "Inception" feel to it. Off to share.

Thanks! A shame the photo doesn't link to the source, I have a few others that you might like to explore: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sgoralnick/sets/72157623625709161/detail/
I'm sorry Chase but this "gallery" feature you've implemented in the posts is awful. It's terribly slow to swing between pictures.
Could you guys just install an other gallery plugin? There's plenty of em!
Now, regarding to the photos… they're very creative, I like them.
Phillip Wong July 24, 2012 at 11:53 pm #
Like the previous commentators have said, the gallery is a pretty poor experience. Personally, I'd prefer it if you ditched the gallery approach altogether, kept it simple and just had all the images on the page so I could enjoy them all in one hit.
JasonSMoore July 25, 2012 at 5:33 am #
Hi. Your gallery experience sucks. I had to look at each picture for 2 seconds and click next after each. Can life get any worse?
Chris July 25, 2012 at 8:31 am #
To all complaining – get over it. We've been complaining about the usability of this blog since it was "updated" months (if not a year now?) ago… Just pretend that its 1998 and enjoy the change of pace. Awwhhhh clicking through individual photo "pages" – how nostalgic.
Hi, lots of people complaining about the gallery, I would suggest Slide Show Pro http://slideshowpro.net/
Once installed very easy to use, even has a Lightroom plugin.
I use it on my blog http://stockphoto.com.au/blog/ and a number of my websites.

Regents scandal grows uglier
There is more bad news for Connecticut's scandal-plagued Board of Regents for Higher Education, which oversees the state universities, the Community College System and Charter Oak State College. In October, board President Robert A. Kennedy resigned when it emerged he unilaterally approved lavish pay increases for 21 board employees. The next day, Executive Vice President Michael Meotti also resigned. Mr. Meotti was the recipient of one of the most generous raises ($48,000) and was dogged by controversy over a supposed buyout offer to community-college presidents.
As if that weren't troubling enough, a Connecticut Mirror report paints a disturbing picture of actions taken by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in staffing the board.

Deal with Bad Manager
If you're feeling unhappy in your 9-to-5, you're not alone. According to the latest Gallup poll, only three in 10 employees are fully engaged at work. And it's not because of long hours, dull assignments, or a lack of team culture. The biggest culprit? Terrible managers.
A whopping 75% of employees say their manager is their biggest source of stress at work, and 65% of employees would rather have a new manager than a raise.
Sound shocking? Not when you look at it from the other side-turns out, managers are also struggling. Only one in 10 leaders is actually groomed for the job-but then again, half took the role solely to snag a raise; only 23% actually wanted to lead a team.
So, if you're stuck with a less-than-ideal boss, what can you do? Well, you can either let this manager mayhem make your life a miserable daymare (like a nightmare, only with sunshine), or you can accept that the game has changed and adjust your action plan accordingly. I would strongly suggest the latter-so here are three ways to start.
RELATED: 10 Brilliant Tips for Dealing With a Difficult Boss
1. Change Your Mindset
From this data, it's easy to see that the manager-employee relationship often leaves much to be desired. The recent recession has forced many organizations to slash training and talent development budgets, and as a result, bosses aren't always being set up to be great leaders. And so, they may not have the communication, oversight, performance management, or talent development skills you'd expect them to.
The point is, your manager may not be the guiding light in the storm you expected in your career-so stop waiting for that to happen. Instead, reframe your perception of your boss. He or she is likely growing and learning, just as you are. Once you realize that, you can change your expectations.
For instance, instead of waiting for your boss to outline your job objectives, become an expert at setting and tracking your own goals. As you work toward them, don't expect your manager to remember everything you do; keep a detailed record of your accomplishments and results to share with him or her when review time rolls around.
And when you identify something that could make your job easier-like additional training or a specialized computer program-ask for it. Because if you're expecting your manager to ask you what you need, you might be waiting a long time.
2. Make Your Manager a Raging Success
"Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love."
― Mahatma Gandhi
OK-so your boss (hopefully) isn't your enemy. But, when you're struggling with his or her leadership, it might seem that way. And in that mindset, you may be tempted to keep your distance and just stay focused on your own priorities. But it's actually a better strategy to show your boss that you're on the same team.
RELATED: Help! My Boss Has it Out for Me
First, find out how your boss defines success-including what his or her goals, desired outcomes, and key deliverables are. Is he or she expected to increase the department's revenues? Gain new clients? Reduce expenses? Increase customer satisfaction? How do you and other employees fit into that picture? To figure this out, just ask! Your willingness to become familiar with-and eventually, tackle-these goals will go a long way.
Then, let your boss know that you totally get it-that you know your job is to make him or her a success. Ask what you can do to make him or her more successful this week, this quarter, or this year. Then, do it.
As a manager, I constantly had my hands full leading my team. But when my employees would ask what they could do to help achieve my goals, I felt supported by my team and a lot more confident in my role. From my first-hand experience, I can guarantee that when you make sure your manager knows that you're on the same team, you'll help him or her become a better leader.
3. Become a Feedback Savant
When a manager doesn't have extensive formal training, he or she may lack some people management skills that are necessary for the job. And that means you're less likely to get the training, coaching, and mentoring you might have hoped for. Instead, you'll have to specifically request it.
Here's a good way to get started: After you finish a project or presentation, take the lead and ask for your boss's thoughts. Keep in mind, good feedback is specific, timely, and actionable-so if you get a vague response ("You did a good job"), you'll need to keep drilling down your questions to get better information ("What did I do particularly well? What are three specific ways I can improve next time?").
RELATED: 5 Steps to Giving Good Feedback
On the flipside, you should also give feedback to your manager. Yes, it sounds scary, but it's a skill you must develop! Compliment him or her when things go well, and share constructive criticism when they don't. As long as you're respectful and professional, it's usually received well.
Quality feedback will help both you and your manager improve: You'll get the mentoring you need, your boss will learn how to provide better training and coaching, and you'll both become more aware of your strengths, weaknesses, and how to leverage them.
Dealing with a sub-par manager is frustrating, but you aren't just a helpless bystander in the situation. You're in this together! When you take action that's within your control, you'll find that you don't just have to deal with the situation-but you can actually turn it into something positive.

Off-campus users accessing electronic resources will encounter a new login screen (below). This same login screen is used for those who want to check MARQCAT for library materials they have checked out, holds that have been placed, etc.
Law Library community borrowers (excluding Law faculty, students, and staff) will continue to access resources and services via their 14-digit barcode number.
Raynor Memorial Library Interlibrary Loan users will notice a slight change to the ILLiad login screen. This screen (below) now also uses the standard Marqnet username and password.

• Our Kamisori and Ensho saddles hit the warehouse today. In October, just as we said! That's a first. These are slick looking colored saddles with a CrMo rail price instead of a Ti rail price that most colored race saddles have.
• We have a Flickr page: It is mainly for posting older frame pix and Soma owner pix, but we did post a a pic of the new 650b MTB concept bike over there.
• 2008 Soma Rush: We will be phasing out the Fiery Red color and introducing a Pearl White. If you think white is a little 'played out', you can still get it in black. But our new Japanese distributor, Tokyo San Esu, really wanted to see white Rushes. Downtube decals will be removable on the new stock.
• 2008 Double Cross DC (i.e. "disc/canti"): We will finally be releasing a Double Cross with disc mounts. Cantilever bosses will be removable. Some of you are probably saying, "It's about time." It will be in the matte Midnight Silver that's been popular on our Juice frames. For the time being, this model will be offered in only 50 to 58cm.
There will still be cantilever-only Double Crosses in 2008 --for those who don't see the need for discs-- in a full size range.
• There is a brand new road frame that we plan to release mid-2008. We will release more details after evaluating our prototypes.

I like the look of the white Rush. To bad I already have a red one (which I also love). Thanks for the linkage.
Can't wait to see the Double Cross Disc.

White Rush is available in very limited supply now, main shipment coming in January.

So I read that the Rush frame is now made with Tange Prestige tubing but the rear end is still CrMo. I was wondering two things: is the prestige tubing heat treated and what kind of CrMo is used on the rear end?
- November 23, 2007 at 1:59 AM
- Somacisco said...
The Tange Prestige is heat treated (Reynolds 631 was not). The CrMo in back is a Taiwan-made non-heat treated double butted CrMo.

Nice colour. Too bad for me as my Delancey has already been coated white ;)
- December 9, 2007 at 6:37 AM
will the rear disc mount be inboard or outboard, or, more specifically, will it be a pain to get a rack on there?
- December 11, 2007 at 5:59 PM
Will there be a matching Cross fork with disc mounts for the Double Cross DC ?

I can't seem to get my hands on the white Rush frame. Everytime my favorite store gets them in I try to order one and they are sold out within 2 minutes. More on the way?

On 10/13/11 the GA reached consensus to:
Table of Contents
Start gathering submissions for the official statement of purpose (SOP) of Occupy Boston and get them on the wiki
- see full proposal
- DISCLAIMER: This space is for people to post working drafts and ideas of statements of purpose for Occupy Boston. These ideas on this page DO NOT reflect the consensus of the General Assembly. Rather, this is a place where people can contribute, edit, and discuss ideas.
SOP proposalsPut your proposal link (or short statement) here and look for related topics in the Discussion tab.
Short Statement Drafts(A short Statement of Purpose can act as an inclusive umbrella to draw many participants. A variety of issues and demands can be worked on as separate reform statements/demands by interest groups within the large Occupy Boston purpose.)
Our mission is to give birth to a just and compassionate body politic that treads lightly on the Earth.
"Occupy Boston is a peaceful, collaborative effort to revive participation in our government and ensure that our elected officials represent the interests of the people. Diversity of ideas and passions has been a source of strength in America and we invite everyone to bring their wisdom and voices to our movement. It is our purpose to provide a public forum for exploring and promoting the political and economic reforms that best reflect the interests of the people." - from the discussion thread "Governance for the People;" please continue discussion in that thread.
A proposal of a statement less verbose and highfalutin than some of the long ones:
- Because the world's wealth is in the hands of a few,
- because banks and CEOs profit while the poor suffer,
- because our tax structures favor the rich,
- because corporations control our politics,
- and because our way of life is destroying the earth,
- we are here to protest,
- and to dream of a more just society.
I like what OccupyBoston has posted on the General FAQ page http://www.occupyboston.org/faq/general-faq/
as guidance to all supporters of this non-partisan movement - to communicate why most people regardless which party they vote for support this movement:
"What are you protesting?
Most people who support Occupy Boston call for reforming Wall Street and removing special interest from government, but there no one single issue or demand that summarizes our movement. People are dissatisfied with how our country is being run and want fundamental, lasting change of many kinds."
Very nice OccupyBoston - thank you for communicating this!
Long DocumentsSOP - Direct Participation - A demand for Direct Participation within government, acting as the Fourth Branch
SOP - Federal Reserve - A statement focusing on the role of the federal reserve in the economic crisis
SOP - wrest control from the 1% - Democracy based upon an informed public acting in its own interest can wrest control of the USA from the 1%
SOP - Banking Culture - Dismantling destructive discriminatory culture of scarcity that enabled the financial oligarchy in the first place

Once the wall are up and insulated maybe you can tell the forum how quiet it flushes.
Some people are afraid because the tank is inside the wall it will make a lot of noise and my experience it is a lot more quiter flushing than a regular toilet.
The actuator you purchaed is the least expensive model they have, if you went up to a solid brass model you would pay at least double or triple than the one you have.

"For us, it's just go back to work," Spanish Springs coach Joe Imelli said. "There's no other way to go about it. Each year as a group we expect to win league. We expect to compete for the regional title and we expect to do well at state. We've been able to do two of the three pretty successfully, but we've yet it to take it up to the state level. We're expecting to do the same things. Take care of league. Take care of regionals. But we need to up the ante and get ourselves ready for state, which has alluded us. So I think there's a drive from the kids to work harder. We're not too worried about having an 'X' on our back, we're trying to keep going forward."
Leading the Spanish Springs effort to try to achieve these goals will be a group of returners who helped the Cougars win their third Northern 4A championship in a row.
"The nice thing is we've got a good team of leaders coming back," Spanish Springs coach Joe Imelli said. "Curtis Lampert, Blake Naumann, Zach Perez, and Austin Lee are four guys I think will be able to do well as leaders on the team this year. As leaders of the group, they need to make sure that the needs are fulfilled, which is a good workout room. Your best team leaders, your best guys that go forward are ones that get the room to be at a high level. They don't always have to be vocal. They can be leaders by example, by work ethic. By doing that, our room should be one of the tougher rooms around."
The Cougars will begin the defense of their title with their first league dual meet, Dec. 14.
- Reed Raiders -
•Despite the current Spanish Springs reign, one team that is aiming at derailing the Cougars and taking the throne for itself will be Reed. The Raiders have watched their rival dominate the mats in recent years and that's a driving force for the new season.
"That's definitely some motivation," Reed coach Dan Barraza said. "They're our rival. They're three-time champions. They're a tough school. We haven't been able to beat them in a dual since I think my senior year, and that was almost the first year they opened. So we really want to compete with them."
A difficult task to achieve in itself, the goal of knocking off the Cougars has already hit a speed bump for the Raiders early on. That's because the RHS numbers have been down without football athletes, who just finished their season last weekend in the state final.
"We just got in the room this week, Barraza said. "It's been really tough. Pretty much 90 percent of my returners were on that team. A lot of the guys are banged up, mentally and physically. It's just a battle early on to get them ready."
Two key members of the group that Barraza will look to lead the Raiders are junior Spencer Empey (215) and senior Broc Westlake (189), both returning state champs. Empey was perfect on the mat last season, going 50-0 on his way to a state title and being named the Northern 4A's Upper Weight Wrestler of the Year.
"Definitely my two returning state champions," Barraza said. "They went and won the tournament last year. I'm hoping that the other guys will follow their lead and build off of last year. They're really tough, really hard workers and hopefully the guys will look at that."
With Empey and Westlake leading the way, the goals are high for the Raiders.
"I think we'll be in the running for a regional title this year," Barraza said. "I really want to improve in duals. We were terrible in duals last year, but we did good in individual tournaments. We just need to be a little more balanced this year and I think we can make a run at each one of those titles."
Reed's first league dual meet is set for Dec. 14.
- Sparks Railroaders -
•Last season Ric Fehr took over the Sparks wrestling program. Now in his second year as coach, Fehr is excited about building on the progress that the Railroaders made last season.
"Last year was awesome," Fehr said. "We got every Sparks athlete to the state tournament. Although we only finished with six last season, all six qualified. We only have nine wrestlers fielded right now in nine weight classes. I would like to see each one of those competitors have the best season that they can have. That means, in my opinion, state medals."
Three key returning wrestlers that Fehr will look to set an example will be Luis Aguilar, Mario Guadron and Tymon Dozier.
"They are some of the key athletes that we have," Fehr said. "They have some leadership. They come in and set the pace."
Michael Arevalo and David Valentine, a heavyweight transfer, could also have an impact.

A refresher course on how much--and what--to drink on hot summer runsDuring the blazing days of summer, you need more than sunscreen to protect your body from the sun. "Hydration becomes most important during intense exercise in the heat," says Douglas Casa, Ph.D., who heads the University of Connecticut's Korey Stringer Institute, which studies heatstroke and other causes of sudden death in sports. "If you're not adequately hydrated, your blood volume drops, which means your heart has to work harder to power your muscles and keep you cool. When that happens, your athletic performance suffers."
While it's important to stay hydrated during exercise, it's impossible to create one-size-fits-all drinking guidelines. Every athlete's needs are different. Your body weight, sweat rate, and effort level, along with the temperature, humidity, and elevation, affect how much you should drink. That doesn't mean you should leave your hydration plan up to chance. These strategies can help ensure you drink the right amount before, during, and after every run.
PLUS: 8 Ways to Cool Down Your Summer Runs
Before Your Workout
One of the best ways to limit dehydration during a workout is to drink enough before it. "Checking your urine preworkout is an easy way to see if you're hydrated," says Lewis Maharam, M.D., former medical director of the Rock 'n' Roll race series. "If it's clear, you're drinking too much. If it's the color of iced tea, you need to drink more. If it's a pale lemonade or straw color, you're nicely hydrated."
How much you should drink depends on how soon you'll be running, what your stomach can tolerate, and how dehydrated you are. "Typically, most people can handle six to eight ounces right before a workout," says Heidi Skolnik, M.S., C.D.N., owner of Nutrition Conditioning in New York City. With the exception of alcohol, which is dehydrating, all beverages, including water, sports drink, coffee, tea, juice, and milk, can help keep you hydrated throughout the day.
If you find you're often dehydrated before a workout, make sure to have a beverage with all your meals. "The fluid you drink helps you absorb the water content in whatever you eat," says Skolnik.
TRY THIS: Edible Liquids That Keep You Hydrated
During Your Workout
If you're headed out for a long workout, drinking mid-activity is a no-brainer. But what if you're going for an hour? Or doing 45 minutes of intervals? "There have been a range of recommendations over the past two decades," says Dr. Maharam. "The newest brings us back to basics: Drink to your thirst." It's advice backed up by the International Marathon Medical Directors Association and Tim Noakes, M.D., author of Waterlogged: The Serious Problem of Overhydration in Endurance Sports. "Your thirst mechanism is exquisitely tuned to your body," says Dr. Noakes. "Some people get thirsty quickly; others can go hours without feeling the need to drink much. If you drink when you're thirsty, you'll stay adequately hydrated." That said, Casa and Skolnik suggest always drinking on workouts 90 minutes or longer.
The American College of Sports Medicine offers another approach; it recommends drinking enough so you don't lose more than three percent of your weight through sweat. "Lose more than that and your performance starts to falter," says Casa. One way to figure out how much you lose during an hour of working out is to weigh yourself naked pre- and postrun (don't drink anything midworkout). Losing one pound means you sweated 16 ounces in one hour. "The goal isn't to match that loss during a run, but to come within a reasonable amount," says Skolnik.
Should you choose sports drinks or water? On runs longer than 60 minutes, sports drinks are a good idea. They have valuable carbs that your muscles need for energy. Skolnik notes they also contain electrolytes like sodium and potassium, which are lost through sweat but are integral to nerve and muscle function, and contribute to your body's water balance.
PLUS: The Truth About Fruit Juices
After Your Workout
When you come in from a workout, drink until you're satisfied. "Using thirst as your guide and consuming liquids with your meals is adequate after shorter activities," says Skolnik. If your face has white salt streaks on it postworkout, it means you've lost quite a bit of sodium, so it's best to have a sports drink, water with an electrolyte-tablet in it, or water along with food that contains sodium, says Skolnik.
After especially long or hard activity, you also need protein to help your muscles heal. That's why recovery drinks are ideal--they provide protein and fluid to help you rehydrate. "Chocolate milk is a great choice," says Dr. Maharam. "The carbs-to-protein ratio is perfect for recovery."
If you're working out again within 12 hours--say you workout at night and you're planning to workout again in the morning--try to be more diligent about rehydrating. Sip liquids regularly until your urine is back to straw yellow and your weight returns to normal.
PLUS: What Your Sweat Says About You
High-Octane Fuels Try these drinks that have extra benefits for athletes
Coffee or tea Several studies show caffeine can boost endurance.
Coconut water The clear liquid found in coconuts is packed with the electrolyte potassium.
Electrolyte tablets They dissolve quickly in water and are a low-calorie way to replenish electrolytes; the sodium in them stimulates thirst to promote drinking.
Sports drinks Carbs provide midrun energy, while sodium helps replace electrolytes lost through sweat.
PLUS: Snacks That Boost Your Workout Results
Veggie juice Good source of sodium to help replace electrolytes.
Store-bought recovery drinks Convenient source of both carbs and protein to replenish fuel and stimulate muscle repair.
Chocolate milk Inexpensive and has the ideal carbs-to-protein ratio for muscle recovery.
Fruit juice High-calorie, so drink moderately. Tart cherry juice has melatonin, which research has found may reduce inflammation when consumed regularly.
Smoothies Fruit-and-yogurt blends provide anti-oxidants and protein. (Try this: The Ultimate DIY Post-Recovery Smoothie)

SWINE FLU … This may only be a pandemic warm-up, but it gives us a chance to reflect on and prepare for the more that are coming. Not that pandemics are all that new. I'm reading Robert Strassler's Landmark Thucydides (Simon & Schuster, 1996) and he mentions how a devastating "plague" struck Athens in the middle of the Peloponnesian War [430 BCE – before the Christian era] with oligarchical Sparta and its allies (the Axis). After the great war (World War) to defeat Persia (Germany) Athens had turned the Delian League (League of Nations) into a mercantilist empire of allies (NATO) and tribute city-states (NAFTA). And in the middle of it all, a plague strikes. The parallels seem uncanny … As for the pandemic, still best to learn all you can … Like how they think it started. And for that we go to Tony and Barclay Daranyi of Norwood's Indian Ridge Farm in a recent online CSA alert, "We know the flu virus originated in Mexico. And yes, we know it was probably in the State of Vera Cruz, and most likely within the Pueblo of Perote, where the first case was diagnosed as far back as early April. But did you know that it appears that the virus manifested itself in a huge pig factory within the confines of the pueblo? How huge is this pig factory? Try 900,000 pigs. (For perspective, we raise 11 or 12 a year!) The owner of this factory is none other than the American corporation Smithfield Foods, whose global reach has now stretched to all corners of the world, even to this relatively remote part of Mexico … What makes the pig factory such an important component to this story is that it's the atrocious living conditions of these pigs that may have contributed to the virus now circulating the globe. Characteristic of these Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) is that the animals are over-crowded, they're living in dirty conditions, they don't see or experience fresh air, and most importantly, they're medicated with antibiotics and other medications to prevent diseases from spreading throughout the factory. At the same time, the most insidious aspects of these CAFOs are their total disregard for the air and water quality of the surrounding region. According to first-hand witness statements reported in the Mexican media, that was true of the Perote Smithfield operation. Moreover, CAFOs are most likely situated in poor communities (true here in the US, as well), where the workers are treated more like slaves than dignified employees." … For more info, check out www.truthout.org/042809K> or read the book that got loaned me by a good buddy, James B. Lieber's Rats in the Grain: The Dirty Tricks and Trials of Archer Daniels Midland The Supermarket to the World (Four Walls Eight Windows, NYC, 2000).
BURNING MAN … It's a grand art happening on the playa of Nevada's Black Rock Desert, the same weekend as Film Festival, so it's not easy for Telluriders to attend. But once you have, you'll be hooked … Will Chase (aka Jack Rabbit Speaks) has an email listserve for Burners and announced the 2009 Honorarium Art Installation winners … A portion of every ticket goes to fund a couple dozen special art pieces on the playa ("collaborative, community-oriented, interactive") especially geared to this year's theme – evolution (¡Viva Darwin!). Artists compete from all over the country. Here's a couple … Carbon Garden by False Profit Labs -- San Francisco <http://labs.false-profit.com/blog/carbon-garden> … Carbon Garden is a garden of flowers made out of carbon fiber (the same stuff as the Stealth Bomber, Boeing's most advanced airplane wings, and possibly your bicycle fork -- if you're extra cool). Each flower will have a small flame that can change its size up to 30 times per second from a candle size to about 3 feet. Flowers react to people around them with ultrasonic range finders, and "talk" to each other in a language of fire … Holding Flame by Patrick Shearn, Cynthia Washburn – Los Angeles www.poetickinetics.com/public/holdingflame.html. Holding Flame is a steel pergola covered in sheet steel latticework. The ceiling is plumbed with propane which, when burning, creates a roiling ceiling of fire. Contours created on the surface of the ceiling control the pattern and flow of the fire as it moves outward, trying to rise and searching for oxygen. The result, when seen from below, is mesmerizing and engaging … My Burner buddy Mark Burrows wants to hold a pre-Burning Man gathering at the Cornerhouse this May. Email him if you're interested in attending and learning more about this epic week-long party in the Nevada desert:firstname.lastname@example.com
STRIPES … A happy face on Norwood Hill brightened up the rockfall curves the other day, but falling rocks are no joke, Jack, and CDOT still makes us creep too slow beneath fractured sandstone and sheer cut slopes. I asked for a speed study to see how fast locals actually drove that stretch of road – thinking 30 mph as the speed limit means riding your brakes downhill or lugging in third on the uphill. Them CDOT guys said they'd done it, but I was never shown the study. Somehow, after 30 years driving that hill, I can't believe such a study would indicate keeping the speed limit as is, up or down, 30 mph. That's WalMart speed in Montrose … But I do appreciate CDOT finally fixing the stripes on Keystone Hill so there isn't a free-fire bump'em-car zone once you crest the top. Now, divided lanes continue for a little ways towards Telluride at the top of the hill.
IRIS IN ASIA … (Continued) … We happened to arrive in Bagan [Burma] the day before the full moon festival, which brings numerous Burmese visitors to Bagan to make a pilgrimage to the temples. Our first day we were quite surprised to see large camps of people sleeping outside the temples in makeshift tents. We didn't realize they were temporary, so at first the poverty seemed overwhelming, but the next day all the camps were gone. There was also a huge market outside of one of the most famous temples set up for the festival. It was crazy to see a temple lit up with a neon sign like a casino. One night we went to the market and rode on a very rickety ferris wheel, made from wood and without a motor, which we didn't realize until we were rocking fifty feet up from the ground! They made it turn by transferring the weight, one acrobatic man acting as the motor -- jumping around to make it turn. It was exhilarating, but probably one of the sketchiest things we've tried. We visited numerous temples while there, always removing our shoes, as is required at all religious sites in Burma … Something I found a bit disturbing about Buddhism in Burma was the inequality of women. Only men were allowed to climb up to the Buddha statues and pay respect by applying a gold leaf. When I tried, they told me women weren't allowed. But after seeing my disappointment they allowed me to apply a gold leaf to a smaller Buddha image, further from the center of the temple. This was a reoccurring theme. In other temples we visited, there were signs saying women weren't allowed to go up to the altar.

Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant.

While Kingdra has taken quite a few steps back in BW with the Drizzle + Swift Swim ban, it still remains a potent threat due to its ability to counter rain teams. With rain-boosted Water-type moves and Swift Swim in hand, Kingdra can outspeed and decimate opposing rain teams by turning Politoed into a massive liability. Rain teams are often stuck with the difficult choice of cutting off a major source of their power by refraining from bringing out Politoed early or risking getting destroyed by Kingdra. Despite being an absolutely terror for rain teams, it isn't seen as much as one might expect because it competes with the many other OU Dragon-types for a spot on a team. It has a hard counter in the extremely common Ferrothorn and it is somewhat weak without rain support. It has a useful quadruple resistance to Fire and Water, which makes it a handy check to both powerful sun threats such as Victini and rain threats such as Keldeo and Choice Specs Politoed. One should also not discount its bulk, as Kingdra can take common attacks, such as Terrakion's Close Combat, quite nicely. Overall, while Kingdra isn't the best Pokemon in the world, it stands tall as the ultimate counter to rain teams.
This set makes great use of Kingdra's offensive capabilities. In the rain, Kingdra is essentially a faster Life Orb Latios, boasting similar Special Attack with an insanely powerful Water-type STAB, enabling it to do something Latios can only dream of doing: sweep with its most powerful move. To put this into perspective, very few Pokemon in OU aren't 2HKOed by either Hydro Pump or Draco Meteor. Kingdra is adept at disrupting weather teams due to its ability to set up rain at any time. However, the limited turns of rain in conjunction with a Life Orb puts Kingdra on two timers; Kingdra does not last very long, so you must make the most of the time it has.
When it comes to choosing a STAB move, you need to make a choice between Hydro Pump and Surf. A difference of 30 Base Power might not seem like much, but it makes a significant difference in practice as, accounting for rain and STAB, Hydro Pump has 270 Base Power and Surf 213. For this reason, Hydro Pump is recommended despite its tendency to miss: it punches massive holes in just about everything, 2HKOing even Ferrothorn with some prior damage. There goes Kingdra's biggest "counter"! If the accuracy really bothers you, by all means use Surf, but prepare to be disappointed by the lowered damage output.
Draco Meteor is the key to Kingdra's success, though just one use of it ends its sweep. That debilitating factor is beside the point, however, when you take into account its ability to 2HKO most bulky Water-types. Hydro Pump just cannot break bulky Water-types, especially Jellicent, and the goal of this Kingdra is to hit as hard as possible in the limited time it has; thus, Draco Meteor fits perfectly. Heck, you don't even have to go for two Draco Meteors if you're worried about missing or being even more vulnerable to set up; you can choose to use Dragon Pulse followed by Draco Meteor for the 2HKO. That way, Kingdra's second move will still hit hard if you pick something else.
Finally, the last slot is a toss-up between three moves. Just remember, it's not some filler move you'll never use. Surf might seem like the craziest idea to even consider pairing with Hydro Pump, but it gives you the best of both worlds: power and accuracy. When you don't need the power of Hydro Pump, you can go for Surf, and vice versa. Additionally, Surf gives Kingdra a reliable move with which to sweep late-game. Ice Beam has three main benefits: firstly, it lets Kingdra 2HKO Celebi, Amoonguss, and other Grass-types; secondly, it reliably KOes Landorus-T and Gliscor outside of rain; thirdly, it takes down Salamence and Dragonite without the need to use Draco Meteor. The final option is Dragon Pulse, which is similar to Surf in that it is a more reliable alternative to Draco Meteor. It is extremely useful for times when Kingdra needs to hit Water-types but doesn't want to render itself helpless in the turns following. However, keep in mind that a resisted rain-boosted Hydro Pump is just as powerful as a neutral STAB Dragon Pulse, so it's all for the accuracy.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The main issue other Kingdra sets have is the need to waste a turn setting up. While the boost obtained in that turn is certainly appreciated, it also leaves Kingdra open to its opponent's attacks. How do you fix this issue? It's simple; just throw on a pair of Choice Specs! With Choice Specs, Kingdra is able to go out easily and attack, but not have anything to lose by switching back out. It isn't on any timer and hits like a freight train. This immediate offensive presence surprises foes that expect Kingdra to spend a turn setting up and not damaging them. Additionally, it lifts the burden on Kingdra to sweep. Instead, Kingdra can fulfill a role as a supporting attacker, hitting hard early- to mid-game and relying on its resistances to Fire and Water as a pivot; after that, it can sit back and watch the credits roll as its teammates finish off the opposing team. If Kingdra manages to survive that long, it can even do that itself.
The first two moves are there for power. Every good Choice Specs user has a powerful STAB move or two, and Kingdra is no exception. With fantastic coverage together, little can stand in Kingdra's way. If you see a Pokemon that resists one move, most of the time you can pick the other, it's that simple. Hydro Pump is also useful to dismantle rain teams. However, both Draco Meteor and Hydro Pump have debilitating drawbacks, specifically an awful Special Attack drop and imperfect accuracy. While they are excellent moves to punch holes for most of the game, when late-game comes around, these drawbacks make them undesirable choices. The final two slots provide that reliability. Basically, pick a STAB move and Ice Beam. Ice Beam is needed to 2HKO specially defensive Celebi and do a ton to Amoonguss, while the STAB move is for reliable late-game cleaning. Surf is usually preferred because it hits many common threats hard and is quite powerful in rain, but Dragon Pulse has perfect neutral coverage against all foes bar Steel-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
A classic set from DPP, Substitute + Dragon Dance Kingdra is still as effective as ever. Kingdra has plenty of special attacking prowess, but physical sets are just as effective due to how amazing Dragon Dance is as a boosting move. Aside from the Attack boost, the lack of reliance on rain for a Speed boost is huge. The basic premise of the set is to set up on defensive Pokemon, weakened Pokemon, or a Choice-locked Fire- or Water-type attack. Defensive threats, such as Jirachi and Jellicent, are the easiest to take advantage of. Between Leftovers and Substitute, Kingdra can laugh off their weak attacks and status moves. After Kingdra has set up a couple of Dragon Dances, it is all set to sweep. Substitute makes it far easier to set up, blocking status, Trick, and revenge kills. The offensive moves are pretty obvious as well, consisting of only Kingdra's STABs, which are all it really needs. Waterfall is reliable, has a nifty chance to flinch, and brings rain teams to their knees. Outrage is for when Waterfall just isn't enough; it has ungodly power after a Dragon Dance or two and hits most Pokemon that resist Waterfall hard. Be sure to use discretion with Outrage, however, as being over-reliant on it against Water-type resistors will inevitably lead to a Steel-type such as Skarmory coming in and putting Kingdra in its place.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The biggest problem Dragon Dance Kingdra suffers from is being worn down. ChestoRest is a tried-and-true combination that gives Kingdra the ability to fully heal itself once with no repercussions. It tosses aside worry of being hit by status while boosting, which eliminates a large pool of Kingdra's counters. Furthermore, it boasts the ability to take some hits while setting up and be at full health afterwards to stop what few revenge killers can deal with a boosted Kingdra. Kingdra has the resistances it needs to set up easily against most Pokemon that cannot hit it too hard. The goal of this set is to boost as many times as possible, heal up, and sweep with Outrage and Waterfall, which provide all the coverage Kingdra needs in most cases. One thing you must not do, however, is attempt to sweep with only one or two boosts; this Kingdra doesn't have the power necessary to do so.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While Dragon Dance Kingdra usually attempts to obtain multiple boosts, that doesn't bode well for fighting more offensive teams. Such teams most often have Pokemon that can KO or completely cripple Kingdra as it foolishly attempts to set up. The goal of this set is to fix that issue; it has powerful attacks and a Life Orb in order to do so. This gives Kingdra the ability to hit everything hard, including physical walls that the other Dragon Dance sets struggle against. Examples of foes that are no longer a problem are Skarmory, Scizor, and last but not least Ferrothorn; many more can be defeated after a boost or two.
This set's wide coverage is the main reason it is so good. The biggest decision you will have to make is between Waterfall and Hydro Pump. Waterfall is more accurate, has a chance to flinch, and can be boosted by Dragon Dance, but Hydro Pump hits Skarmory much harder and can OHKO Hippowdon; it all comes down to what you want Kingdra to beat. The second attack is not nearly as difficult a choice. You should use Hidden Power Fire unless for whatever reason you don't care so much about beating Ferrothorn; in which case replace it with Draco Meteor, which gives Kingdra an alternative to Outrage against Water-resistant foes, such as Breloom, Starmie, Slowbro, Latios, and Hydreigon, among many others.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Kingdra can run quite a few more sets, but none are as effective as any of the ones listed. A mixed Rain Dance set is viable, but a rain-boosted Waterfall isn't what it used to be in a metagame filled with physically bulky Steel-types and Water-immune Pokemon. The main draw would be to beat special walls, but mixed Kingdra can't even beat Chansey; all you would really gain is a weaker Hydro Pump. A mono-attacking set with Outrage as the attack could work in a similar vein to CroCune, but it also has trouble sweeping, and being asleep, even with Sleep Talk, is undesirable with BW's sleep mechanics. Additionally, having one's only attack being Outrage is undesirable. A Double Dance set with both Dragon Dance and Rain Dance is yet another set that seems great on paper, as it theoretically allows Kingdra to use whichever setup move is best for the situation. However, there is really no need for that, as both Rain Dance and Dragon Dance are amazing tools and don't need to be used in tandem; rather, you're just wasting a moveslot. You can run a Dragon Dance Kingdra set with Disable and Protect or Substitute over conventional moves, with Outrage as the sole attack. Disable would prevent foes from 2HKOing Kingdra with a move if it is their only move to hit Kingdra, provided Kingdra is slower, but it's not worth being left with Outrage as Kingdra's only attack, and Protect or Substitute is needed to sweep.
Bounce might seem a usable move to spread paralysis, but it provides no additional coverage and is really better used by Gyarados, as Kingdra lacks the STAB to make good use out of it. Sniper can be used over Swift Swim on any of the sets other than Rain Dance if you want to use permanent rain to boost Kingdra's STAB Water-type attacks, but in doing so you've pretty much defeated the purpose of using Kingdra. Kingdra's viability relies on the fact that it can effectively combat rain due to Swift Swim; without Swift Swim, you might as well use another Dragon-type.
Checks and Counters
Clad in spiked armor, Ferrothorn is the bane of Kingdra's existence. Kingdra's Hydro Pumps and Draco Meteors do pittance while Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs edge Kingdra ever closer to death. Power Whip breaks Kingdra's Substitutes and Thunder Wave can completely cripple Kingdra. Ferrothorn can set up entry hazards in the time Kingdra is out. If rain is up, forget Hidden Power Fire, which only 2HKOes anyway; no Kingdra can score an OHKO. Ferrothorn's partner in crime—Jellicent—is just as good a counter, taking negligible damage from every attack in Kingdra's arsenal other than Draco Meteor. Jellicent can reply back with a burn, or worse, Taunt. Jellicent can Recover stall Draco Meteor, so the only way Kingdra will win is if it hits Jellicent with Dragon Pulse as it switches in and follows up with a Draco Meteor.
Gastrodon can take special sets and cripple non-Substitute Dragon Dance ones with Toxic or burn. Another is defensive Politoed, who can take on Dragon Dance variants fairly well, as it can force Kingdra out with Perish Song. The final is Rotom-W, who can cripple Dragon Dance variants with Will-O-Wisp, and if specially defensive, it can handle special variants adequately enough. The major issue that arises is Substitute + Dragon Dance and ChestoRest Kingdra, who doesn't have to worry about status and thus turns these three Pokemon into setup fodder. Notable bulky Grass-types include Celebi and Amoonguss, specially defensive Celebi and Amoonguss can handle special Kingdra fairly well, and Amoonguss can Spore all variants except Substitute ones. Choice Specs and even Life Orb Draco Meteors do tons to both bulky Water- and Grass-types though, so be wary of that.
Of course, you can always take the easy way out and use a revenge killer. Well, it's actually not that easy with Kingdra. Kingdra has some considerable bulk; it can tank some attacks, such as Choice Scarf Terrakion's Close Combat and Choice Scarf Keldeo's Secret Sword. For this reason, you will need a Choice Scarf Dragon-type to revenge kill Kingdra. Latios is preferable, as Kingdra needs two Dragon Dances to outpace it. You can also use Salamence, who has the benefit of turning Kingdra into a liability with Moxie. The only other way you're revenge killing Kingdra with a non-Dragon-type is with Terrakion, both of whom can only shorten and not end Kingdra's life. Also, remember that you're simply not revenge killing Kingdra in rain, so you'd better have a decent answer to it. The Choice Specs set is much easier to revenge kill, as it has no way of boosting its Speed unless you have rain. If you do have rain, try to force it out before bringing out Politoed. The only way to revenge kill Kingdra in rain is with powerful priority, such as Technician Breloom's Mach Punch, Choice Band Dragonite's ExtremeSpeed, and Life Orb Mamoswine's Ice Shard, and they only KO if Kingdra's been weakened.
