Moved to Baltimore with his family |
Born Tupac Amaru Shakur on June 16, 1971 in East Harlem, NY, he was the son of Billy Garland and Afeni Shakur, who were both members of the Black Panther Party; both were also part of the Panther 21, who were acquitted of attempting to blow up various New York landmarks in a lengthy 1969 trial. Garland and Shakur separated prior to Tupac's birth, and she later married Mutulu Shakur, who spent four years on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives list for his involvement in a 1981 armored car hijacking that resulted in the deaths of three law enforcement officials. His godfather, Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt, was also a high-ranking member of the Panthers, and the focus of a 1968 murder case that was eventually overturned in the courts, while his step-aunt, Assata Shakur, was accused of numerous crimes, including murder, armed robbery and kidnapping before escaping from prison and fleeing to Cuba in 1979.
Mutulu Shakur's 1986 arrest for the hijacking and murder charges forced Afeni Shakur to move her son, his half-sister Sekyiwa and stepbrother Mopreme on numerous occasions. Despite living in dire poverty, Shakur's mother was able to enroll him in Harlem's 127th Street Repertory Ensemble, where he made his acting debut in a production of "A Raisin in the Sun" at the Apollo Theater. Later, after moving to Baltimore, he won a scholarship to the esteemed Baltimore School for the Arts, where he studied acting, poetry, jazz and ballet. There, he began experimenting with writing and performing hip-hop, frequently taking top honors at school-wide rap contests. Prior to his graduation, Shakur and his family moved to Marin City in Northern California, where he attended poetry classes by writer-teacher Leila Steinberg. A street marketer for various labels, Steinberg arranged for Shakur to work as a roadie and dancer for the irreverent rap group Digital Underground in 1990.
Shakur made his professional debut on the Digital Underground track "Same Song," which appeared on the soundtrack for the 1991 comedy, "Nothing But Trouble." Shakur and Digital Underground also appeared in the film, and he contributed to their next album, Sons of the P (1991). That same year, Shakur released his first solo album, 2Pacalypse Now, an unpolished but potent collection of tracks featuring the lead single, "Brenda's Got a Baby," which addressed teen pregnancy. Thanks to word of mouth, it eventually reached gold status in sales, but generated more controversy after Vice President Dan Quayle condemned the album after it was cited as the influence on a teenager who murdered a Texas state trooper in 1992.
The following year proved to be Shakur's breakthrough year. His second album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., displayed his versatility as a writer and rapper by tackling political and social issues, in addition to the standard hip-hop tales of braggadocio and crime fantasies. "Holler if Ya Hear Me" addressed black poverty and Shakur's own travails after the release of 2Pacalypse Now, while "Keep Ya Head Up" offered solace and sympathy to young listeners who were undergoing their own problems. The album reached platinum status in sales, and established Shakur as a major figure in early 1990s rap and R&B. That same year, Shakur was top-billed in Ernest Dickerson's urban drama "Juice" (1993), about a quartet of young Harlem men who become involved in a murder case. Critics widely praised Shakur's performance as a teen whose aggressive nature leads to multiple murders; his next feature, John Singleton's drama "Poetic Justice" (1993), helped to cement him as a movie star in the making thanks to his sympathetic turn as a single father who travels with poetess Janet Jackson on a road trip.
However, his rise to fame was immediately tempered by a string of violent criminal scenarios, which helped to brand him as an outlaw. In 1992, he was named in a wrongful death suit involving a six-year-old boy who had been shot when a gun carried by Shakur discharged during an altercation. He was eventually acquitted of the charge, but paid a substantial settlement. The following year, Shakur was allegedly involved in a shootout with two off-duty officers, which resulted in dropped charges, as well as assaulted director Allen Hughes during an altercation on the set of "Menace II Society" (1993). Not surprisingly, the Hughes Brothers recast his role. His fortunes reached their nadir later that year when he and two associates were accused of sexually abusing a fan, resulting in a 1994 conviction of sexual assault. The day before the verdict was announced, Shakur was shot five times and robbed by two men after entering a Manhattan recording studio. After surgery, he checked out of the hospital to attend his hearing, where he was sentenced to four-and-a-half-years at Clinton Correctional Facility in New York.
While serving his sentence, Shakur's third album, Me Against the World, debuted at the top of the Billboard charts in 1995, making him the first artist to earn a No. 1 album while in prison. The album, which would go on to sell over 2 million copies, was widely praised for its confessional tone, as displayed in tracks like the nostalgic "Old School" and "Dear Mama," which paid tribute to Afeni Shakur. Me Against the World went on to net Grammy nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Solo Performance for "Dear Mama." Shakur himself was pleased by the response to his work, but was also busy with other matters while awaiting his release from prison. He married his long-time girlfriend, Keisha Morris, and pored over books on political strategy and philosophy. Among the works that struck the deepest chord with him was Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, which discussed the occasional need for brute force when attempting to acquire and keep power.
After serving 11 months of his sentence, Shakur was released from incarceration after posting a $1.4 million bail. The funds came from Suge Knight, the notorious head of the Los Angeles hip-hop label Death Row, who paid the bail in exchange for three albums by Shakur for his company. The newly freed rapper immediately began work on his fourth album, All Eyez on Me (1996). The double album was a marked departure from his previous work, with the material now largely focused on a celebration of the criminal life. The result was an immediate hit, reaching quintuple platinum status after only two months; unfortunately, it would also serve as the last original material released during his lifetime. In the months that followed All Eyez on Me, Shakur wrote and recorded hundreds of tracks, many of which would fill out his posthumous releases. One of these tracks was "Hit 'Em Up," a scathing assault on the New York-based Bad Boy label, its president, Sean "Puffy" Combs, and its chief artist, the Notorious B.I.G. (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls). While in prison, Shakur made no bones about his belief that Combs, Smalls and his own friend, Randy "Stretch" Walker had been behind his 1994 shooting. His alignment with Suge Knight, whose own antipathy towards Combs and Bad Boy was well known in rap circles, seemed to indicate the beginning of a major East Coast- West Coast rap feud.
However, there were indications that the alliance between Shakur and Knight was less solid that many industry insiders assumed. Shakur had begun to focus his interests on the movie business, devoting much of 1996 to appearing in two films, the thriller "Bullet" and the dark comedy "Gridlock'd." He also began to distance himself from Death Row Records, which was undergoing internal turmoil over business practices and reported illegal activity. Shakur threw himself into a new project, Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which he recorded under a new stage name, Makaveli, and with new, non-Death Row producers and artists. The new direction seemed to indicate a growing schism between Knight and Shakur, which would have dire implications in the months that followed.
In July of 1996, Shakur would make his last live performance at the House of Blues in Los Angeles with Snoop Dogg and various other rap outfits. Two months later, he traveled with Knight to Las Vegas to attend the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon boxing match at the MGM Grand. While there, an associate of Knight spotted a member of the Crips street gang who had led an assault on a Death Row employee in Los Angeles some weeks before. Shakur, Knight and several followers attacked the gang member, and the melee was captured on hotel security cameras. Later, Shakur and Knight would head for Club 662, a Death Row-owned establishment. While waiting at a red light, Knight's vehicle was approached by a Cadillac with an unknown number of occupants. A hail of bullets from the Cadillac struck Shakur, who was then rushed to a nearby medical center. Despite numerous surgeries, Shakur was expected to survive the assault; however, internal bleeding led to his death on Sept. 13, 1996.
In the months and years that followed, Shakur was elevated to folk hero status, while his death became one of the most hotly contested and mythologized incidents in rap history. Many suggested that the murder had been set in motion by Biggie Smalls, who himself was slain in a similar shooting just one year later in Los Angeles. A major investigation by the Los Angeles Times in 2002 suggested that evidence had been uncovered that linked Smalls to the shooting, but the documents were later proven to be fraudulent. However a documentary by British filmmaker Nick Broomfield, titled "Biggie and Tupac" (2002), alleged that Suge Knight was the guilty party due to Shakur's perceived departure from Death Row. Despite these and other theories, Shakur's murder was officially listed as an unsolved case with the Los Angeles and Las Vegas police departments.
However, Shakur would live on through recordings and tributes from family and friends. Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory would be released in 1996 and reach double platinum sales, and eight additional albums, composed of remixed tracks and abetted by guest contributions by a host of rappers and singers, would follow between 1997 and 2006. In 2003, the documentary "Tupac: Resurrection," which featured narration recorded by him before his death, received an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary. Two years later, Afeni Shakur opened The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Georgia, which was designed to provide programs in drama, dance and creative writing to young people. Shakur's life and work became the subject of academic forums and discussions, which paralleled his brief existence with black folk heroes and figures in African-American culture. For his legion of dedicated followers, Shakur would become something of an urban saint, inspiring young people from his home in New York City to the slums of Brazil and the neighborhoods of South Africa.
In 2004, Shakur was named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest selling rap/hip-hop artist in history, with over 67 million albums sold worldwide. Publications ranging from Rolling Stone to Vibe placed him alongside Elvis Presley, John Lennon and Bob Dylan in their list of greatest artists, while the National Recording Registry added "Dear Mama" to its library in 2010. Even the Catholic Church placed their faith in Shakur's legacy by including his posthumous single "Changes" to their social networking site's streaming music service, where it was featured alongside Mozart, among others.

+ Nate Benderson's legacy will continue
Dear Editor:
I really enjoyed the Our View article,"An American classic," published April 11 in the East County Observer.
I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Nathan Benderson through my volunteer work at Honor Animal Rescue. The day before his stroke, Mr. Benderson came to our volunteer appreciation and spoke to all of the volunteers. I briefly talked to him that day, and he greeted me as he usually did, questioning, "How's school?" and asking about our available dogs.
As the daughter of Rob Oglesby, president of Honor Animal Rescue, I frequently interacted with Mr. Benderson. I met him many times and came to understand his immense love for all animals. This love led Mr. Benderson to work closely with my father to build Honor's Ranch, with the goal of developing facilities that would bring families out to adopt pets.
Although I only knew Mr. Benderson for a few short years, it was an honor to know such an amazing person. I had the opportunity to attend his funeral in Sarasota, and it was inspiring to find out more about his lifelong achievements. I appreciate your article, and agree that he could easily be considered the symbol of what "America used to be and is supposed to be." He will be greatly missed because of the substantial impact that he had on people and animals alike.
The opportunity to know Mr. Benderson will be something I will always cherish, and I'm happy to assist in continuing his legacy of rescuing animals. His vision may have been large, but it is something we would all like to achieve in order to make him proud.

KEN SILBER offers a positive review of Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner's new book, Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything.
I haven't read it, but I like the discussion of the chapter entitled "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?"
The upshot is that the crack trade, even at its market peak, was lucrative only for those at the top of a selling organization. The gang's foot soldiers made less than minimum wage and faced a 1-in-4 risk of being killed over four years. (In the same time, being a timber cutter, the most dangerous legitimate job in the U.S., carried a 1-in-200 risk.) These drug dealers struggled desperately to reach the gang's upper echelons, but few would make it.
I don't know Levitt's answer here, but one explanation (besides the obvious "they're idiots") for why people become drug dealers when the economic returns are poor is that being a drug dealer offers -- and, especially during the crack boom, offered -- nonmonetary returns, by having much more status than working minimum wage. (Read Richard Price's excellent book, Clockers for some very good illustrations of that phenomenon).
My historian-brother often says that one of the most interesting phenomena that he's observed is the cross-cultural willingness of people to trade away economic benefits for status. I suspect that this is one example of that. So, in a surprisingly similar way, is being a politician. That's an obviously poor economic move for most folks. But one of the drug dealers in Price's book talks about how he likes the way he becomes the center of attention when he enters a room full of junkies. Politicians, I think, get the same thing, especially in the bubble-environments of Washington, or state capitals. I suspect, in fact, that people are, to varying degrees, hardwired to get an endorphin rush from that sort of attention, just as they're hardwired in varying degrees to respond to drugs.
As I say, I don't know if Levitt talks about that or not, but I think it's one possible explanation for a lot of stuff that looks economically counterproductive.
UPDATE: Stephen Skaggs emails:
Take out "drug dealers" and "crack" and replace with "bloggers and "Blogosphere."
Heh. And Greg Hlatky emails:
Take out "drug dealers" and "crack" and replace with "professors" and "universities."
I guess that makes me a double-dipper. No wonder I'm always so cheerful! It's the endorphins! [So why isn't Brian Leiter happier? -- Ed. No theory is perfect.]
ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Steve Barnes emails: "Talk to your budding rock-star brother and he can probably tell you about 'non-monetary' benefits."
Heh. Indeed.

text: | The Origin of Memorial DayMay 28, 2012 - Jodi BurnsworthThe Memorial Day tradition originated during and soon after the Civil War when women, perhaps first in the South, began to gather to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. At the war's end, the practice was adopted by the Grand Army of the Republic, a Union veteran's organization, which in 1868 established May 30 as Decoration Day. Memorial Day was first established as an official state holiday, May 30, by New York in 1873. Now Memorial Day is a holiday throughout the United States, observed on the last Monday in May since 1968. Memorial Day is observed in West Virginia in the same way as in other parts of the country. West Virginia National Cemetery at Grafton observes the holiday on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, while the old Grafton National Cemetery has a larger celebration on the following Monday. The holiday is observed in countless other public and private services statewide, and the long weekend signals the beginning of summer. The observance of Memorial Day in West Virginia arises from other, unofficial roots as well. It was common here and in other parts of Appalachia to bury the dead without funeral services during the hard winter months when travel was difficult. Then in the spring, a memorial service was held for those people who had died during the winter, often in May when abundant flowers were available. The graveyard was cleaned and graves decorated, either on the day of the service or in preparation for it, and families gathered together to attend to these important duties. This practice continued as an annual memorial service in church cemeteries and family graveyards even after transportation improved and it was no longer necessary to delay winter funerals. Often the service lasted much of the day, with ''dinner on the ground'' at noon. These services, primarily religious and sentimental rather than patriotic in nature and which may be celebrated on Memorial Day or at some other time of the congregation's choosing, survive in some rural areas today.

Ishmael by Barbara Hambly. Library copy. Originally published in 1985.
The Plot: As explained in my prior post on this crossover book, it's Star Trek meets Here Come the Brides. Spock winds up back in 1867 Seattle, has amnesia, meets the HCTB people. It has something to do with Klingons trying to do yadda yadda yadda....that doesn't matter.
The Good: What matters, or why this book is awesome:
Nowhere in the book, including the book jacket and copyright page, is Here Come the Brides acknowledged or credited. In other words; if you don't know, you don't know.
According to the Complete Starfleet Library, "This was not an officially sanctioned crossover; there was no mention of Here Come the Brides anywhere, and apparently nobody picked up on the author's joke until the book was published."
What's better? That the editors didn't know HCTB, or that the editors knew and laughed and kept quiet about it?
It's not the only crossover in the book. I KNOW. As I was reading, there was a description of someone that sounded like Doctor Who. And then later on, I'm like, huh, that sounds like Little Joe and Hoss.
Don't believe me? Read it and weep in joy. Or, if you want to have it pointed out to you, I found this at a Battlestar Galactica (original series) site, in an archived discussion from about ten years back. It has pages, quotes, and who the unnamed crossover characters are. (It's towards the bottom quarter of the page.)
Know of other books that are crossovers like this? Let me know in the comments! Does original fanfiction count? Hmm... Part of what I love about Ishmael is it is an official Star Trek book. But what the heck. If it's good, let me know.

Like my team or the comics? Luvdisc this threat! ^^^ ...And trap. ___ ___ ___ Hello, welcome to my second RMT. Here's my first RMT, but now I'm lost of interest with my old team due of metagame changing again and rain are overly used. So I thinking for a new team, with the release of Shadow Tag Gothitelle, I decide to make a team around her, so this is the team. The idea of this team is to gain momentum (VoltTurn) and involve heavy trapping with 3 pokemon having ability with trapping effect. I saw two overlapping core: Gothitelle + Dugtrio and Dugtrio + Genesect, I thought to myself and why not having both? Gothitelle + Dugtrio core is about to sacrifice Dugtrio with Memento after cleaning the threats and let Gothitelle set up with ease, while Dugtrio + Genesect is for baiting Heatran, Ninetales, and such, then trap them. Magnezone for another form of trapping and eliminate Steel-types to give Dragonite a room for sweeping, and Starmie for Rapid Spin support. After laddering on PS!, I got a nice 1500+ rating, pretty nice but still a long way to be the best. Teambuilding Process (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Teambuilding Process (open) Teambuilding Process (close) First, I added Genesect, Dugtrio, and Gothitelle for my somewhat core trio --- Then, I think I'll make a team that revolve around trapping, and I heard Pursuit is a form of trapping too, I added Tyranitar, STAB Pursuit is cool. --- Why not make this team a VoltTurn team? Which pokemon that I use with Volt Switch? Rotom-W might be the best candidate. --- Maybe another U-Turn user? And it should be Dragon type, Hydreigon? --- After few testing, this team suck, then I realized, Magnezone can double as Trapper and VoltTurner! Tyranitar's sandstorm is actually nerf my team (I don't like sand anyway) so I replace him with it. --- My team is too Special-centric, I think I need a Dragon with Physical offense, and its better levitating, enter Dragonite. --- So, Dugtrio need his Focus Sash intact when enter battlefield and Dragonite hates SR too, I need Rapid Spin support, here comes Starmie. IMPORTABLE: Code: Numero Tres (Dugtrio) (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Arena Trap EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Memento - Earthquake - Rock Slide Ms. Gothi (Gothitelle) (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spd Bold Nature - Calm Mind - Psyshock - Rest - Hidden Power [Fighting] CattleKiller (Magnezone) @ Choice Specs Trait: Magnet Pull EVs: 252 SAtk / 108 Spd / 148 HP Modest Nature - Volt Switch - Flash Cannon - Hidden Power [Fire] - Thunder Probe (Genesect) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Download EVs: 92 Atk / 252 SAtk / 164 Spd Hasty Nature - U-turn - Ice Beam - Flamethrower - Thunderbolt Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 240 HP / 52 SDef / 216 Spd Timid Nature - Rapid Spin - recover - Scald - Psyshock Dragonite (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Dragon Dance - Outrage - Fire Punch - ExtremeSpeed So, that's my team, if my pokemon need replacements I can say that Starmie and Dragonite is the one that you may change.
Hey, Cool team man, trapping is a very cool theme to base a team around. Looking at your Magnezone, it is actually outclassed as a choice scarf user by its prevolution, Magneton. If you were to keep the scarfed Magnet Pull presence, the small change to Magneton gives you a much better speed to wield the Scarf with,as you outspeed base 115's as well as Scarf Tyranitar. I however thought, that having Scarf on both Genesect and Magnezone was slightly redundant, as you aren't revenging anything with Magnezone that Genesect doesn't already smack hard. I instead, think you should give Magnezone Choice Specs > Choice Scarf. With Choice Specs equipped, you can still ruin opponents momentum by capturing and defeating their steels, but you also gain an extremely powerful pivot capable of doing major damage to anything that doesn't resist his powerful Volt-Switches, and can shift the momentum back over to your favour by abusing him and Genesects abilty to cause so many switches to avoid the power of their powerful pivoting moves. Looking at your team, it is very weak to Gyarados. At +1 he simply runs rampant through your team with his powerful dual STAB's and can run right through you when given set up oppurtunites, most notably in the face of locked into non electric move Magnezone. For that reason I think using Thunderbolt > Bug Buzz on Genesect would be a fine option. With thunderbolt you gain the fabled BoltBeam coverage, making you unmatched in the revenge killing department. Thunderbolt in general gives you greater coverage, as Bug Buzz contributes nothing coverage wise, and the STAB power of even uninvested U-Turns is more than enough to count as your dependable STAB move GL with the team
Amazing format, I love the comics and the overall format of the RMT. As per your request, I'll put in my ten cents on Starmie and Dragonite. Starmie: Well, you addressed the problem yourself, bulk vs power. For your exact team, I think that it might be a wiser choice to employ a bulkier set. Because Starmie's speed tier is so clutch, I would recommend keeping it Timid, but we can start by removing 40 Evs from speed so that Starmie still outspeeds Base 110's like Latios, preserving its ability to get off a last game spin to clear the way for D-Nite. I'll put the rest of the set down below, just keep in mind that you will lose the ability to beat back Jellicent, while gaining considerable longevity. Dragonite: Can I convince you to change his nature to Jolly and use 176 speed evs so as to outspeed Scarf Latios after two boosts (Scarfrakion as well). You can shunt the other evs to HP for bulk. I view the ability to avoid revenge kills as outweighing initial firepower, and the bulk that allows you to get to +2 would also be a boon. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 40 SAtk / 212 Spd Timid Nature -Surf -Rapid Spin -Recover -Psyshock Hope that this is importable, at an XC meet on mobile. I like Psyshock in the last slot to hit Rotom-W, Amoonguss, Terrakion, and Keldeo for good damage. Remember to tweak evs and movesets to your own need and experience. Hope I helped. So as to not drastically alter your team's backbone, I'll just stop there, but good luck on the ladder!
Hey misterdarvus, nice team! First of all, I highly recommend you take Asek's suggestions of Specs Magnezone and Thunderbolt on Genesect, in fact I was actually intending to suggest the same thing my self after looking through your team until I saw Asek's rate XD Anyway, Genesect really dosen't need max speed, it's trollish base speed stat of 99 means that after neutral natured +1 base 100s you only speed tie with other Genesect and outspeed very, very rare pokemon such as +1 Jolly Haxorus. Changing Genesect's EV spread to 108 Atk / 252 SAtk / 148 Spe let's you still outspeed neutral natured +1 base 100s such as Salamence but gives you a noticeable boost in Genesect's U-Turn, which means you won't miss Bug Buzz as much if you take Asek's suggestion. Thunderbolt is pretty redundant on both Choice Scarf and Choice Specs variants of Magnezone, Thunderbolt is only base 25 power higher than Volt Switch and you don't get any notable KOs with it. I suggest running Thunder over Thunderbolt on Magnezone. Thunder has a whopping 120 base power and although the shaky accuracy may turn you off, it has other perks such as a 30% para rate. Thunder helps you check rain teams because the rain gives Thunder 100% accuracy and is also great in situations when you're up against a big threat and you without Thunder you don't have the power to KO it, or the same situation but you need to Paralyze the threat instead. Also, if you do switch to Specs Magnezone you don't outspeed much with max speed, a spread of: 148 HP / 252 SAtk / 108 Spe let's you outspeed most Skarmory and slow Scizor and also gives you some nice bulk. You could run Rock Slide over Stone Edge on Dugtrio to still check Volcarona but in a much more accurate and reliable way. You miss out on some power but you do OHKO all offensive variants. More defensive variants will survive but they aren't as threatening to your team and can be finished off with Dragonite. You rely on Starmie too much to tank water type moves and check rain, you also have a Life Orb wearing you down every time you try and attack, basically, Stamie is going to die very quickly in most battles and you need it for Rapid Spin support. To remedy this I suggest you run Recover over Ice Beam or Thunderbolt on Starmie. This will allow you to keep Starmie alive for the remainder of the battle and cancel out Life Orb recoil. Anyway, I hope this rate helped and GL with the team :)
Magneton? Yeah, it has better speed but slightly lower Sp.Attack is a letdown, but I tried Specs Magnezone and it works wonder! Yeah, I faced a Gyarados once or twice and it give me problem, now I'm using Genesect with Thunderbolt bow, which is save me a lot. Thanks for the Starmie, now I'm using bulkier set and now Starmie tank like a champ. By the way you forgot the rest 4 EVs, lol. Yeah, and I changed Dragonite's Nature. Interesting EVs spread you have, now I can U-Turn harder :) (lol forgot those +1 100 speed). I have tested Thunder Magnezone, it save me a lot when facing rain team, and sometimes I got lucky hits when weatherless. Now Magnezone become slower and slower with the EVs spread, but actually the bulk totally worth it. Yeah, why I didn't think about Rock Slide? Better than crossing finger praying Stone Edge hits. Don't worry, I have changed my starmie set to defensive set as TheStarRapper suggested. Thanks man for the suggestions. By the way, I'm considering using Landorus-T over Dragonite for more U-Turn user, is he (Landy) any good?
Woops, I forgot to say that Magnezone should be Modest rather than Timid now that it's specs. I wrote that spread with a Modest nature in mind so you're not missing out on outspeeding anything that I mentioned and the extra power is always nice. Also, seeing as you've decided to take the bulky Starmie suggestion, I recommend you run Scald over surf. It's only a small drop in power which isn't too relevant considering it's now pretty weak and Scald let's you burn threats and add to Starmie's walling capabilities. Taking 8 of those Special attack EVs and putting them in speed let's Starmie outspeed Tornadus, although previously considered to be outclassed by it's therian form, Kidogo has popularized a Tornadus set that has given it a niche over Tornadus-t, the cost of 2 points in special attack is a worthy price to pay to be more prepared for Tornadus. In regards to Landorus-t over Dugtrio; Dugtrio lets you trap Genesect's biggest counter: Heatran, helps you out against offensive Volcarona, pretty much guarentees you get rocks up against a team with Xatu (which is pretty much every sun team atm) and memento is amazing for goth setup. Overall, imo Dugtrio contributes to the overall goal and success of this team more than Landorus-T does. I hope this 2nd rate helps and GL with the team :) EDIT: I'm almost sure it said dugtrio earlier. But anyway, With Dragonite gone you lose your second water resist and a your cleaner, I reckon you should keep Dnite.
Hey there, First of all great Team. I've also have had the idea of putting these 3 trappers in one team some time ago but I couldn't find the 3 Pokemon that would synergize well enough with them but your team does that pretty well. I tried out your team in a couple of matches and had pretty good results with it, but the one thing that was a really annoyed me was when I had to use Rest with Gothi and it didn't woke up to soon because even after 2 or 3 CMs if your oppenent can attack you 3 or 4 times before you wake up you good nearly nothing out of it except for maybe healing from status. So my suggestion would be to try to change Leftovers on Gothitelle with Chesto Berry so you can get one free rest. I think the Recovery you lose out on Lefties might be around the same you gain by waking up instantly. And I would definately keep Dugtrio as it had net me some really crucial K.O.s and also helped me with memento when i passed to gothi.
Magnezone and Starmie are done. You misread my sentence, I mean Landorus-T over Dragonite not Dugtrio Thanks dude for testing my team. Leftover actually pretty important if opponent using sand or hail so the passive damage doesn't matter, most of time I tried to set up on weakened choice-locked special attacker pokemon so Gothitelle can take damages as little as possible, but I'll consider your suggestion though. Now I've reached 1600+ on PO
Hey its me again, Today while playing I found out unintentionally that the Speed EV's of your Starmie only let you speed tie with opposing base 110s. You need at least 216 Speed EV's to outspeed. I found that out when I was playing against a Froslass today, wondering why I speed tie with it. After the match I looked into the team builder and saw that with 212 Speed EV you reach an Speed of 350 which is exactly the same as a fully invested base 110s. If I would have to rearrange the EV's I would go with 240 HP/54 Sp. Att/216 Speed. This way you get a HP number thats divisable by 16+1 (Leftovers) and reach 352 Speed. Hope this post helps, but I have to say again great team. Today I swept one of my opponents only with Dragonite after one DD^^. Edit: Another thing I found out today is that your team seems to have problems with gastrodon. You have nothing super effectively against it and it can either toxicstall you or drain you out of pp you with recover. Even Download boosted Ice Beam does only around 41% damage. I don't have a good solution for that for now but I will think about something.
Mega bump, still not two weeks isn't it? Thanks, but I modified Starmie's EV, I decide to dump 54 remaining Evs to Special defense for more special bulk. In other note, I haven't test this team again, but my friend have tested this team and he said this team is great. Need more advices thought.
awesome comics i know you're opposed to replacing some of your trappers, but I think you should, running 3 trappers seems like overkill. Magnezone + Dugtrio + Gothitelle sounds nice on paper, but at most you want to use 2 of them and it's entirely possible to succeed with just one. Your team needs more Pokemon that benefit from trappers. So here's my suggestion: 1. Drop Dugtrio, choose between Gothitelle OR Magnezone, and devote those team slots to more Pokemon that appreciate Gothitelle/Magnezones ability to remove sturdy threats. if you were to go with Gothitelle, i'd suggest you use Specs since CM is too slow to work in this metagame. Gothitelle & Choice Specs Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spd Timid Nature -Psychic -Thunderbolt -Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice -Trick / Signal Beam / etc This Gothitelle is tailor made to remove everything that can check your Dragonite. Skarmory, Hippowdown, Slowbro, Gliscor... everything's mostly covered. (If Ferrothorn bugs you can run HP fire, etc, etc). some replacements for Dugtrio & Magnezone/Gothitelle --- Mamoswine @ Life Orb / Focus Sash Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Stealth Rock - Ice Shard - Endeavor - Earthquake Salamence @ Choice Scarf Trait: Moxie EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Outrage - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Stone Edge --- These are 2 Pokemon that appreciate removal of things like Skarmory, Hippowdon, Slowbro, etc and are more than capable of pulling their own weight. Ice Beam spamming Genesect is especially annoying if you use Salamence, so i'd sooner suggest you run Magnezone over Gothitelle to deal with it 2. Drop Gothitelle & Magnezone and build your team around Genesect + Dugtrio. Without turning your team into Genesect + sun, or Genesect + rain, I can already see succeeding with a combination of Genesect, Dugtrio, Politoed, Starmie and 2 fillers of your choice. It completely destroys the original concept of this team however, so feel free to ignore this suggestion. Hope I helped :)

Pathetic. Props to the LSU defense that Miles hasn't enough common sense NOT to keep on the field for over 100 plays. Thanks to HIM, the offensive coordinator,the quarterback coach, AND the quarterback who is no better than Jordan Jefferson. LSU hasn't recruited a GOOD quarterback in 8 years.
embarrassing is having someone open the bedroom door while your balls deep in a fat chick.. this was retarded as Corky from life goes on..
I agree that Mett sucks (I've never seen a QB with less pocket presence), but if you don't think that coaching isn't the number 1 issue, then you aren't paying attention.
I always wondered why Miles did not give Mett a chance in last year's BCSNCG - I think I begin to see. Expanding that thought - can we assume Mett is the best we now have?
Some I can see (like the Shawn Michaels one) others, like this one, I can't. And I've tried with 2 different browsers. Not sure why.

CLAUSE: Catering to the Crowd
"This Agreement is based on the Group's commitment to spend not less than $100,000 (excluding applicable taxes and gratuities) in catered Group food and beverage functions at the Hotel over Event dates. Should the Group spend less than $100,000, the Group shall pay to the Hotel the difference between the amount the Group spent on food and beverage functions at the Hotel and $100,000."
EFFECT: Vive la Difference?
Although a clause like this might be labeled "Food and Beverage Performance" or "Food and Beverage Minimum Guarantee," it is simply an attrition clause. The Group should take note that the $100,000 figure does not include the amount spent on taxes and gratuities. Because taxes and gratuities often add up to 25 percent or more to the amount spent on food and beverage, the Group's "catered food and beverage" meeting budget line item must be $125,000 or more to meet this contract requirement.
A glaring problem with this clause is that it requires the Group to pay 100 percent of the difference between the amount spent on food and beverage and the $100,000 minimum guaranteed. As long as the Group informs the Hotel well ahead of time that it will not need the full amount of food and beverage (so that the Hotel does not have to incur the expenses to purchase the food, schedule the servers, etc.), the Group should be required to pay only the Hotel's lost profit on the difference and not the Hotel's full lost revenue.
The industry profit margin on catered food and beverage is 30 percent to 35 percent at most hotels, so the last line might be edited to read "Group shall pay to the Hotel 35 percent of the difference between the amount the Group spent on food and beverage functions at the Hotel and $100,000." Before signing the contract, the Group may also negotiate an allowable amount of slippage. With 20 percent allowable slippage, for example, the Group effectively becomes responsible for only $80,000 of catered food and beverage (still exclusive of taxes and gratuities).

Fear should not stop local birthing center
I am overjoyed for the proposed birth center in Elizabethtown but dismayed to hear about the fear that might prevent its opening.
The Birth Center Study (Rooks, 1992), a study involving more than 18,000 women, showed the safety of birth center birth equal to that of hospital birth. ACOG, the governing body for obstetricians and gynecologists, statement is, "the Committee on Obstetric Practice believes that hospitals and birthing centers are the safest setting for birth."

Here's how RW members rated this race (340 votes).
In short: Well organised, fabulous goody bag, great value for money, wonderful atmosphere.....however that hill at the start doesn't get any flatter! See you next year!Date of review: July 19, 2011
In short: Tough hill but after that it's fineIn full: The initial hill sorts the men from the boys and if you're running the half, you get to enviously watch the 10k runners peel off for their shorter lap at the 3 mile point but those distractions aside it's a very good race around some not too bad scenery. Can't fault the organisation, loads of water stops, started on time etc. I don't care about goody bags but this race was good value in that regard. T-short, good medal and loads of trinkets in the bag was a good return on the entry price. The start and finish is on the Rye and there were enough stalls and concessions to make it feel village fete-like. Had the weather held up then it would have been an even better atmosphere.You're unlikely to get a pb unless you're on course for better times than you achieve here but it's a great hard effort for an Autumn marathon at the right point of the season.All in all a very positive experience and well done to the organising team.AndrewDate of review: July 19, 2011
In short: Well organised race as alwaysIn full: This is worth turning out for - great organisation: parking, sign-posting, marshalling down to the goody bag. Local support all along the route. Tough course in the beginning and the end but that is part of the challenge. Great job again by Handy Cross Runners.Date of review: July 19, 2011
In short: well organised, and great goody bag.In full: i enjoyed this race a nice atmosphere good organisation. and a worthy goody bag, t-shirt, and medal at the end. and managed to miss the heavy rain. Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Challenging, well-organised and uplifting!In full: First half marathon for me, and what a great experience!The Wycombe HM is extremely well organised. The task of starting the HM and 10K at the same time causes no problems. Nowhere on the course did we slow down because of bunching. The course was very well marshalled and sign-posted and the watering stations were excellent! Marshals and spectators alike were very enthusiastic.I knew about the hill at the start as I'd done the 10K the year before. The course snakes up Marlow hill and so never gets too steep. This does a good job of stretching the field out. The rest of the course is fairly flat and the long road from Bourne End to Loudwater presents no issues.It's strange being able to see the finish line with 2km to go, but the spontaneous enthusiasm of the crowd and announcers never waned and I even got a name check at the finish!15 quid for such a well organised race, t-shirt, medal and decent goody bag is hard to beat.Can't really fault the effort put in by everyone involved! Well done and, injuries permitting, see you next year...Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Killer hill to begin manageable afer that.Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Great race but killer hill at the start!In full: First things first - that hill! Very steep in places & quite winding. There were a lot of walkers were I was in the pack so had to weave in & out but that didn't really slow me down, the hill did a good enough job on it's own! Just pleased that it was at the start rather then having to tackle it when at exhausted at the end.Plenty of parking in a field. The toilets were part of the leisure centre but judging by the queues there probably could have been a few portaloos to boost the numbers. The organisation seemed pretty good & the medal & goody were amazing! Nice to finally get a technical t-shirt from a race. Lots of other little goodies too. Because of the good organisation, great goody bag & value for money I would defintely like to do more of their events. Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Great Race - climb high and reach the RyeIn full: My 2nd attempt at the Half marathon on a course that runs past my front door so I don't have any excuse for missing it!As others have said, the hill start gets you nicely warmed up very early on but then it all settles down nicely. Good local support and excellent marshals make the race a pleasing experience for all. The cooler weather this year was also a bonus. Water stations were well distributed and as for the goodie bag - well it is very generous. Nice chunky medal too!The commentator has rightly received a lot of complimentary comments (did you see what I did there?). Anyway his comedy stylings got things going in the right mood and apparently kept spirits high throughout the morning. I'm not just saying that because he gave me a name check on the sprint for the line either!Will be back for more for 2012 - excellent job, Handy Cross Runners!Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Best Value Half so farIn full: Really steep hill at the start but after that pretty easy going. Great atmosphere at the start/finish even with the poor weather. Most generous goody bag I've had for a UK race and best value ever. Would definately recommend.Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Big hill followed by easy course. Lovely park ending. Great organisationIn full: Ok - the bad bit. The hill! Everyone mentions it and rightly so as it's a killer. I am a slow starter and always run the second half of a race quicker than the first so the hill was very tough. The good - After the main climb there's no other climbs of note for the whole course and except for a tight footpath around half way it's a well designed and runner friendly route. The park setting for the start/finish is lovely with loads of room and a cracking final sprint!The really good stuff - Really well organised event which is well supported and a goody bage worth collecting unlike some events. And finally a mention to the course commentator who is a legend and worth the entrance fee alone.I'll be back next year. See you there.Date of review: July 18, 2011

Android development lag
The one thing that I do not like about this phone is that almost no app devs (at least the ones that make the apps I use) have updated since the release of 4.2. What irks me is that once a new iOS version comes out, pretty much all apps are updated within a month. Its been three months since android 4.2 was released, where is my support?! Granted, most apps do work on the phone, but dimensions, speed, etc. are off. I know that programming for android is more complicated than iOS because of the huge number of varying devices, but I would have hoped to see more app updates supporting 4.2 by now. Any thoughts on this?

Re: Android development lag
the US bank example is an example of a poor developer who didn't build the app to scale resolutions. There are a few apps like that.
- 02-05-2013, 01:29 PM Thread Author #10
Re: Android development lag
It's likely your device's resolution matched up with the application so that you didn't experience the scaling problems. The US Bank application's reviews mention problems with scaling (density-dependent scaling; too small on some devices and too large on others), force closes when making deposits and photographing checks, and failing to recognize correct passwords. I went back as far as four months and continued seeing these issues mentioned in almost all reviews.
Unfortunately, as wunderbar said, the problem here is that US Bank has a developer with quite poor Android development practices. There are only two solutions that come to mind: first, just wait until the issues are eventually resolved, and second, hope that US Bank notices the reviews and trouble being caused by their poor application. - 02-05-2013, 04:51 PM #12
Re: Android development lag
While nowhere near as important as a Bank application, the SpeedTest.net application does not scale up on the Nexus 4 either.
Maybe I am just unlucky the but the developers that I have contacted regarding application issues, either never write back or just say a fix is in the works but never seem to deliver that fix.
The only time I ever got a response back a meaningful from a developers was after emailing someone higher up within the company and than only did the developer contact me and explain what is going on and what was being done to fix it.
Dan - 02-06-2013, 11:52 AM #14
Re: Android development lag
Its doesn't seem that that's a 4.2 update fix, but more of a resolution fix. This seems is somewhat of a control to keep the images from scaling to fit the screen. By forcing it to not scale, it will look the same on most screens bigger or larger. However, the developer probably just forgot the tell the application to center itself when the screen is larger than the set screen size of the app. Kind of like speed test app, doesnt matter how big the screen is, it stays the same size, part lazy, part control.

ALA-Schneider Family Book Award
I hope this will be a place for us to get to know one another. It's as close as I can come to asking you to sit at my kitchen table for a slice of Bee's mocha honey cake or Charlie Anne's vinegar pie. There are pictures here of the sheep our family keeps as pets, the outhouse (unused!) which was the inspiration for Esther in Tending to Grace, the spot by our barn where my daughters held the chicken races that made Mirabel so angry in The Wonder of Charlie Anne and the quiet country road where I run – and where I decided to make Bee a runner, too. I hope you enjoy my books and that you will write and tell me a little about yourself. As Bee says in Beholding Bee (and in The Daring Escape of Beatrice and Peabody) "Life is just full of surprises." And often the most wonderful surprise is a new friend. Enjoy!
Dear Readers,
I love hearing from you! Please share what you love about books and writing by emailing me at or by responding to my blog on the Journal page. Happy Reading!

A little sanity here. Booth was a Confederate in his belief. That doesn't make him a tool of the government. There was a time that he worked with CSA operatives, but I've seen no evidence that, in the assasination, he was still in the same relationship. It is "possible," but I've seen no convincing evidence that it was "probable." My conclusion is that he was a bit over-awed with the possibility of becoming a Confederate hero, and acted on that perception. Just a loony with a delusion. But Confederate? Undoubtedly. ole Just noticed that this sort of discussion doesn't belong on this thread. If you have a response, start a new one. Last edited on Sun May 18th, 2008 03:04 am by ole |

The new head of the state Department of Health and Human Resources says a recent $380,000 audit of her agency was not comprehensive enough.
DHHR Secretary Karen Bowling, who started at the agency in July, said the agency is working on its own top-to-bottom review to identify and fix issues like high employee turnover, a lack of collaboration among its various bureaus and other issues.
But speaking to lawmakers at an interim committee meeting on Monday, Bowling provided few details on how those goals might be accomplished.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin last year hired the Pennsylvania-based firm Public Works to conduct an audit of DHHR.
The $380,000 audit, presented to the Governor's Office in February, found millions of dollars in waste at the agency, along with a 30 percent turnover rate among employees, $7.1 million in overtime pay, $6.1 million in travel costs and other inefficiencies.
The report outlined 78 recommendations for DHHR, including an overhaul of its cumbersome hiring practices, reigning in travel costs and developing a coordinated way to seek and maintain grant funding.
"We don't think the report is enough. We need to do a further analysis ourselves," Bowling said on Monday. "Public Works gave us the springboard to get started on this."
She said the department should seek to remove roadblocks in the hiring system, "put the people of West Virginia first," account for every dollar in the budget and create a system to ensure the agency meets its customers' needs.
DHHR is still figuring out how those things might be accomplished. Bowling offered to return to the interim committee in December to present a more detailed plan.
She said the department continues to meet with Public Works to review the group's findings and get information on how other states have made similar reforms.
Some lawmakers, including House Health Committee Chairman Don Perdue, have suggested DHHR be broken down into smaller agencies.
Public Works did not support that idea, and Bowling said she agrees with that recommendation.
She said she would like to see DHHR become more integrated, with different areas of the agency working closer together.

Africa, including South Africa, represents a special area of interest and opportunity for both the information and telecommunications sectors. The African continent is a focus area for ITC companies and telecommunications, particularly mobile phone operators, as it lags most of the developed world in terms of bandwidth and telecommunications coverage. Africa's natural attractions also make it a target for the broader tourism and leisure sectors.

Each year since the Grand Chamber issued its judgment, Romani children in the Czech Republic have continued to be shunted into sub-standard schools and classes for the mentally disabled. The Committee of Ministers should demand an immediate halt to segregation of Romani children and adoption within six months of the legal and budgetary measures essential to secure equal opportunity.
Other countries have also faced criticism for their treatment of Roma migrants. Last month, the European Commission [official website] announced that it was temporarily postponing the human rights complaint [JURIST report] filed against France over the country's failure to respect the EU's Free Movement Directive of 2004 [Directive 2004/38/EC materials] in its expulsion of Roma. In September, the EC asked the French government to enact legislation guaranteeing that procedural safeguards would be put in place in order to protect EU citizens against "arbitrary, discriminatory or disproportionate decisions." Also in September, Amnesty International [advocacy website] urged EU members to stop forcibly deporting Roma migrants to Kosovo [JURIST report]. In August, the UN Committee on Elimination of Racial Discrimination [official website] expressed concern with the discrimination faced by Roma migrants [JURIST report] in numerous European countries.
