Just looking at the preview pages there, I think it's really cool! Very unique, indeed! Great work my friend!
I love all my comic work, but this one is a particular favorite. There's a lot of experimentation and hidden meaning in both the art and the colors, from subtle to bold. I really poured a lot into this comic. It's received a heap of praise and invoked some intense anger. I'm proud to be part of something that drums up that type of emotion.
My apologies for bragging, but this is one I wanted to boast about for those who may be interested in what I do for a living. You can click here to check out a preview of it online at CBR.
Has anyone checked it out? Did you like the issue? Hate it? I'm curious.

I like it, but I'm probably not informed enough about comic books to articulate why. I like the juxtaposition of cold skin tone and warm backgrounds. I'm not a huge comic book reader though, so it's like a casual music fan discussing why they like song "X".
Maybe you can give some of your philosophy behind the colors?

"EVERY SUB COUNTS no matter if it is 1 or 100!!!"
Didn't know about this.
Just going by the preview.....
That art(style) is quite different. It's like hallucinetic(eh. it's a word now) trip.
As for the coloring, I think this art-style (new phrase) really really takes away from the coloring.
You asked if I hate it. No I don't.
coloring looks fine, suits the look of the comic.
The artwork itself...not really feeling it.
finally bought it.
The coloring was nice.
I hated everything else. Hated the pencils. Hated the character design (Peter looked a lot like Matt Smith to me). Hated the story (what I could make of it). By the end of the comic I had no idea what was happening and what was worse...I didn't care. It didn't leave me wanting to know what happens next, quite the opposite in fact, I was glad I had finally finished it.
sorry if I am sounding harsh but you did ask our opinions and mine is, apart from your coloring, it was a terrible comic.
considering they did the parts I hated could you tell Matt Kindt and Marco Rudy I want two thirds of my money back?

Alison Buttenheim, PhD, ('09) released a study, "Exposure of California Kindergartners to Students With Personal Belief Exemptions From Mandated School Entry Vaccinations," in the August issue of the American Journal of Public Health. The study finds that intentionally unvaccinated children can place others at risk for infectious diseases. The research received coverage in Medical News Today and the Greenville [S.C.] News.
Natasha Dow Schüll, PhD, MA, ('03) authored the book Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas, which examines the world of machine gambling—an increasingly popular and absorbing form of play that, according to Schüll, "blurs the line between human and machine, compulsion and control, and risk and reward." The book draws on 15 years of field research in Las Vegas, showing how the mechanical rhythm of electronic gambling pulls players into a trance-like state they call the "machine zone" in which worries, social demands, and even body awareness fade away.
Tiffany Green, PhD, ('07) an assistant professor of health care policy and research at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, is one of five recipients of the 2012 Foundation for Child Development Young Scholars Program grant award.

Belinda Needham, PhD, MA, ('06) is now a research assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health. Her research focuses on health disparities, seeking to identify, explain, and reduce gender, socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and sexual orientation health disparities.
Julianna Pacheco, PhD, ('10) is now assistant professor of political science at the University of Iowa.

Pacheco is currently working on a project explaining state attention to two public health issues: anti-smoking legislation and vaccine regulation.
Aric Prather, PhD, ('10) released a study "Sleep and Antibody Response to Hepatitis B Vaccination," which received coverage in the New York Times. "The vaccine works for almost everyone, irrespective of their sleep," Prather told the newspaper, "and there's no evidence that changing your sleep pattern improves vaccination response. What was most surprising to us was that shorter sleep duration predicted a person's likelihood of being protected six months later." The study appeared in the August issue of Sleep.
New Connections
Olivia Affuso, PhD, ('10) has been awarded an RO1 grant from the National Institutes of Health. Her project will focus on the effects of body composition changes on public health.

Fiellin's formative work for this project has been published in the Games for Health Journal.
Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH, ('09) associate professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University, was featured in the Chicago Tribune. In the June 8 article, Gupta speaks about her recent study finding that children in urban areas of the United States have a higher incidence of food allergies than those in rural areas. Gupta noted, "What we've found for the first time is that population density and environment have an impact.… The big question now is what in the environment is the trigger?"
Samir Shah, MD, MSCE, ('08) was recently promoted to professor of pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati.

Bowl outlet is a little larger than 4 inch outside diameter and the floor flange opening is just over 2.5 inches. Tried single wax ring and it just crawls up the outside of the bowl outlet and doesn't appear to seal. The floor flange is 1/4 inch above tiles. Help! Thank-you in advance...
I've never installed this model of Caroma, but it sounds like it uses the caroma offset plastic outlet connector. You should call them to make sure though.
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? -Jack Handy

Irish Name: an Lù - "after Lugh, an Irish god"
County Town: Dundalk
Nickname: The Wee County
GAA Colors: Red and White
Famous People with Louth roots: The Corrs, John O'Reilly, John Foster, Henry Boylan, Dorothy MacArdle, Paul Vincent Carroll, Sir Leopold McClintock, Thomas D'Arcy McGee
Situated half way between the two biggest cities in Ireland, Belfast and Dublin, lies the smallest county in Ireland, Louth. The 'Wee County' as it is affectionately known to the Irish is beautifully situated on the North East coats of the island with its long, beautiful beaches stretching away from the towering Mountains of Mourne to the North.
Carlingford Lough is one of Ireland's most famous lakes with breathtaking scenery stretching even to the Isle of Man across the Irish Sea. The rugged mountains that tower over the town provide splendid country for hill walking and cater to those in search of the perfect view. Nearby, situated along the Lough is the Tain Holiday Village a 10-acre site with all sorts of water and adventure activities for the whole family and a wide choice of accommodation.
From Carlingford one can strike out along the 40 km Tain Way bringing the visitor though the wild and romantic Cooley Peninsula. But if shopping or something more relaxing is what you're after Louth's two biggest towns, Drogheda and Dundalk can see to your needs.
One of Ireland's oldest ands most historical towns Drogheda traces its history back to 1194. Drogheda is associated with an extraordinary number of significant events in the history of Ireland - The Battle of the Boyne, St Oliver Plunkett, Poynings Law, Cromwell's Siege and the surrender of the Irish Chieftains to the English King. These days though the town is far more relaxed and the pleasant streets of Drogheda are home to many fine bars and restaurants.
Ardee and Dundalk provide alternative bases from which to explore the county but whichever one a guest choose he or she can be assured of a warm reception. Louth's unique situation between the two biggest cities in Ireland has bred a tradition of hospitality into the very ground. The war and friendly atmosphere will be unmistakable wherever you go in the county.
With its mix of the modern and the mythic, the urban and the unusual Louth becomes more and more attractive to visitors with each passing year. Convenient to the big cities and with accommodation to suit every budget a visit is highly recommended.
Common Surnames in Louth: Byrne, Kelly, Murphy, Smith, Clarke, Duffy, McArdle and Reilly

Glauber's NFL Hot Reads
Newsday's Bob Glauber goes the extra yard for the inside scoop on the NFL.
Jim Irsay, Colts owner, appears to take shot at Peyton Manning
As if Peyton Manning going back to Indianapolis to face his former Colts team wasn't a big enough deal, Colts owner Jim Irsay had to fan the flames with some untimely - and, quite frankly - distasteful remarks about his old quarterback.
You know, the quarterback who made Irsay's team relevant again during a spectacular run from 1998-2011.
Irsay said in a recent interview...

If Jets fans think they have it bad, try being a Browns fan these days.
Since the mid-1990s, it has been nothing but losing and heartache. From losing the franchise outright in 1995, when Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore, to suffering through what has happened since the Browns came back as an expansion team in 1999, there has been precious little to celebrate.
And now, it's another...

The blockbuster deal that sent Browns running back Trent Richardson to the Colts in exchange for Indy's first-round pick in 2014 was the latest in a series of moves over the last two seasons by general manager Ryan Grigson, whose roster makeover turned the Colts into immediate playoff contenders last season.
Grigson went for broke in getting Richardson, the third overall pick in the 2012 draft,...

I'm looking to purchase a system that allows me to play my music from my computer/iPad and iPhone wirelessly with decent sound.
Has anyone got or know of a system that can do this? I have a JBL speaker dock, but I don't want to use my iPhone as the storage unit for all my music.
Many thanks

That was an appropriate place to put all the new gun permits right beside of the weddings and divorces because I'm sure many of those people will die by the guns that were bought by those idiots.
Please get rid of Leonard Pitts. He is nothing but a troublemaking person.
There is no mystery on why the Mountaineers went from playing in the Final Four three years ago to basically zero this year. It's one simple reason and nobody will have the guts to say it. Huggins is not recruiting.
Why can't our government take $10 from everyone that gets a government check, from everyone that gets food stamps or anything else provided by the government? Take $10 for those who don't take anything from the government. ... Put all this money in a pool and the debt would be down in less than a year.
I heard a radio show bemoaning the fact that many people are unable to go to West Virginia football games. ... Well, ever look at the cost of it? For one person it's over $100 for gasoline, meals, tickets.
When I see the number of people asking and receiving gun permits, it tells us something. People are afraid of our government and people are afraid of their neighbors. We are living in a state of fear.
Why is it when budget cuts are necessary we always look at the bottom of a totem pole for a reduction? Most of our money problems result in the cabbage disease. That's where the head is being larger than the stalk. The heads refuse to be considered for any cuts or reductions.
Sunday article headline reads "Republican Party going the way of the Whigs." The headline ought to read "America, by its leftist policies, going the way of the socialist Europe and shambles economically."
Shame on you Multifest board of directors for having people come out Saturday night to listen to the mess that you fed us where no questions were allowed to be asked. How dare you ask the community for their assistance when you don't want to tell the community what your future plans are.
Does anyone really take Rush Limbaugh seriously? Come on.
It is sad that any school employee can't see that many children have parents who aren't very well educated themselves. Perhaps this good person could get together a few meetings with stay-at-home moms and pleasantly help them understand how they can help their children be better prepared.
I seen in the paper today where they're wanting to cut back on peoples' Social Security checks. Why don't they cut back on their big salaries each year? That way they'd have enough to pay us. We worked and earned every dime we get.

The Roxbury Hotel Offers Nostalgia Fantasy Come To Life
The exterior of the Roxbury Hotel in the Catskill Mountains may look fairly traditional (except for the chartreuse doors) but inside it's a fun house. The Roxbury has new theatrically designed theme rooms and suites inspired by an iconic American film, TV show or cartoon from the '60s and '70s. It's a Baby Boomer's nostalgia paradise with rooms inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Flintstones, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie.
Gregory Henderson and Joseph Massa, the hotel's co-owners and proprietors used all their theater experience to help create the rooms. The Genie's Bottle room is a two-bedroom suite that includes a spherical purple and gold bottle-shaped bathroom. There is a Partridge Family room with a Mondrian look, a room that resembles a Tiffany's box, and of course, a caveman room. All rooms have wireless Internet, a refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, locally hand-made body soaps, flatscreen TVs with DVD players, chandeliers, and an extensive continental breakfast served every morning along with snacks throughout the day. The Roxbury also has the Shimmer Spa, which has shimmering mosaic tiles, a hot tub, a dry sauna, a fireplace, and a shower made of black river rock. Outside is an upper deck with chaise lounges and a fire pit. The hotel also has regular rooms, but if you are going here it makes sense to indulge in one of the fantasy rooms. The Genie's Bottle is the priciest suite, ranging in price from $225 to $290 per night.

The Shift: An Awakening - John English
The Shift: An Awakening is an inspiring piece of visionary fiction that takes place in present day America. The earth has grown impatient with mankind's unconscious treatment of her, and sends a prophecy to seers of several different faiths. She has detailed in the prophecy her plan to reset the population on earth if mankind does not meet her simple requirements. At the same time a new political party is born from the confusion of America's last presidential election.
A mystic priest, a seer for the Church of Rome is the first to receive the prophecy. He leaves his home in El Salvador to join a group of mystics in Mountain Home, Utah. Meanwhile, the new political party sets out to create a political paradigm that will guide America and the world, away from environmental destruction. Will the group of mystics succeed in igniting the world's consciousness before it's too late? Will the new political party in America survive long enough to make it to the next presidential election, and keep the earth from resetting mankind's population?
The answers are in THE SHIFT.

Overall this wet bikini bag is fine, and would be a good gift if having a bachelorette party at the beach or a pool party. The bag was larger than I expected, which was a plus. The terry cloth on the outside is nice and soft although it does shed; we only used the bags once so I don't know about durability. The personalization on the outside (the two I ordered had 5 and 7 letters) looked cute. Note that the bags have a plastic lining inside and the terry cloth outside. The reverse (absorbent material inside, waterproof outside) would have made more sense to me. There is an interior zipper, but that split and wouldn't stay closed on both of the two bikini bags I ordered, so I would rate the overall quality of the bags as mediocre. The bags took a long time to arrive and so there wasn't enough time to pursue sending it back for replacements. I purchased this product on sale and, given the zipper defects, I would have been even more disappointed if I'd paid full price. This product is a cute concept, just make sure to order well in advance of your need by date and be sure to check immediately for defects.

Comments about The Knot Personalized Wet Bikini Bag:
I had ordered two of these when it was time for my wedding. My sister was my maid of honor and I was having a destination wedding. What better gift than a bag you pack a wet bathing suit in? I ordered one for myself and was happy that I did. I had them both personalized and they came back looking great. I have used mine so many times already. I used it for the shore, for going to the pool and for vacations. I love it so much that I am buying one for my future sister-in-law for her birthday. I think all girls/women should have one.
Great gift

I gave this as one of the gifts to the 3 girls that threw us a couple's shower. They loved it and it's very practical. When we went on the bachorette weekend, they all brought it to use for their wet bikinis. It can also be useful as a laundry bag when you travel. Great gift- paired it with a beach bag since we all live at the beach

Bought these for all the ladies attending my Hen-Do Weekend Getaway (Bachelorette Weekend). I even bought one for myself (the bride) for the Hen-Do Trip as well as the honeymoon. Absolutely cute, adorable and just an excellent gift that any girl would appreciate. Totally recommend it. Good sturdy quality, nice material and I personalized all. Color I bought was pink with white french script personalization.

About Me Bridesmaid
Got this as a bridesmaid gift! It is SUPER cute. It's useful too!!! It's plastic inside to keep your wet suit getting everything else wet, BUT after time water will get to the outside somehow.But all in all ... I think it was a great useful gift. I use mine on all my vacations and trips to hotels/pools/beaches! One more thing - my bag was shipped without the cute anchor charm. You can tell something is missing. :/ And it's hard to zip with out it.
Very cute

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this bag, but I thought what the heck I can always send it back. I didn't get personalization. When the bag arrived it was more than I expected. It was larger than I had anticipated(even after reading the measurements). The bag is cute and a great size as well as durable. I am looking forward to using it. I liked it so much will be purchasing 4 more for x mas gifts. I am really happy with this purchase!

It is really durable, and the inside is a striped durable plastic!!! Really cute. It sure beats throwing your suit in a plastic bag, and it doesn't smell or anything. I'm ordering another for my friend's 30th!! :] ENJOYYY

Pew Pew, Kids, Pew Pew!: TIE Fighter Fort
Do you spoil your kids? You shouldn't. Which is exactly why you should buy this $75 TIE Fighter playset for yourself and never let them touch touch it. Rope it off in the corner of the living room and sit in it making PEW PEW PEWs while they stare longingly at all the fun you're having. Ask them who wants to play space battle and then tell them you've changed your mind and you'd trade either one of them for a new lawnmower in a heartbeat. Then, send them to bed with no dinner. It's what my parents did, and look how well I turned out. I AM A CATCH. And by catch I mean hellhound. Ladies? GRRRRRRR!

Intro: Hello smogon,this is white symphoni,commonly known as Bryce Loski on Pokemon Online.I'm mainly an OU player,but the metagame became slowly boring for me as it was basically the same threats over and over again.And what was even worse that you could win easily by just throwing the counters of top threats together.So to take a break from OU,I decided to try out other tiers,and Ubers caught my attention.When DW OU was still popular,many players mentioned that it resembled Ubers. Being a lover of the DW OU meta,it naturally attracted me.First,I used teams from RMTs and and made up random teams and laddered with them to gain some knowledge about the meta.After some messing around,I decided to build a team that could challenge for the top spot in the PO ubers ladder. Team at a glance: This basically a Deo-S spike stacking HO team that focuses on creating multiple set up opportunities or free turns then utilizing them to maintain momentum and put pressure on the opposition.My set up sweepers are capable of wall breaking,mid game sweeping,late game cleaning at the same time making their roles very flexible.The sweepers were chosen based on a self sufficient sweeper concept meaning it is impossible for them to be hard walled by something.It has been pretty successful for me peaking #1 on PO and beating some good players such as problems,popsicle,linkin shark,modestgarchomp and a few others.I know this achievement doesn't really mean much as it can be rather easily done by many others,though I think it's fair enough considering i'm relatively new to Ubers. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide In-Depth Look: Deoxys-S @ Focus Sash Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Taunt - Magic Coat Deoxys-S is the lead of this team,getting up Stealth Rocks and quite possible spikes early in the game to quickly put the pressure on my opponent.I almost always lead with him except against smashpass teams,against whom I lead with palkia.Deo-S's job is to just set up hazards while preventing the opponent from doing the same.SR and Spikes are my hazards.Taunt is to prevent the opponent from setting up,putting down hazards and spamming status moves.Magic coat is there because it is vital to prevent opposing Deo-S leads from doing their job.If they spam Magic coat as well,I switch to Terrakion at one point and taunt.It's pretty unexpected so it usually works. Groudon @ Life Orb Trait: Drought EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Rock Polish - Earthquake - Stone Edge Groudon is in my opinion the best physical sweeper in Ubers due to having access to both swords dance and rock polish.Rock Polish lets me outspeed most offensive threats while Swords Dance lets me get past bulky walls.Earthquake for STAB and Stone Edge is for coverage against flying times and something to hit levitate mons and Ground resists hard.I have considered running Lum Berry but the extra power of LO has become a necessity when sweeping late game.Max attack for hitting as hard as possible,176 speed lets me outspeed scarfRak after a RP.The rest in hp for some extra bulk.It can easily set up on many unboosted physical attackers like Zekrom,Excadrill etc as well as weak special attacks like -2 Scarf Dialga. Arceus (Arceus-Ghost) @ Spooky Plate Trait: Multitype EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Judgment - Focus Blast - Recover This thing is so broken,able to set up with ease,tank strong hits,outspeed most of the ubers metagame and hits hard,along with perfect neutral coverage.It's a picture perfect sweeper with Focus Blast's medicore accuracy holding it back a little.Arceus Ghost can set up on a lot of pokemons,preferably special attackers such as palkia or after stuff used Draco Meteor.After a Calm Mind or two,it becomes incredibly hard to stop.It is the MVP of this time in most matches.In addition it blocks spin preventing my hazards from being spun away.Max speed to outspeed Lati@s and speed tie with other max speed Arceus forms and Max SpAtk for maximum power. Rayquaza @ Life Orb Trait: Air Lock EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance/Swords Dance - Outrage - V-create - ExtremeSpeed Final member of the sweeping trio.Although I use it mainly as hit shit hard mon. Rayquaza's power and coverage comes in very useful when doing steady damage.I had run Swords Dance as my set up move but have found it unnecessary most of the time and was having problems with -1 speed from V-create.So I changed it to Dragon Dance.Outage is my Dragon type STAB move though I only use it when absolutely necessary.V-create for coverage against steels but is also the move I use most since Outrage locks me in and it has the same power as outrage. ESpeed is a useful priority move for finishing of faster weakened mons.252 Atk EVs for hitting hard and max speed lets me outspeed +spd 90s as well as speed tie with max speed Kyurem-W and other Rayquazas.Air Lock is a very good ability allowing me to check Swift swimmers and more importantly Excadrill in Sand. Palkia @ Lum Berry Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Spacial Rend - Fire Blast - Thunder - Thunder Wave I love this set XD.Has trolled many players and saved my ass in a lot of matches.It's my hit shit hard mon from the special side,but more importantly a Kyogre switch in.Thunder Wave is very cool support move on Palkia,and is my line of defence against most CM Arceus variants letting my physical attackers beat it and helps Ghost Ceus in CM wars.CM Arceus is a pain otherwise.Twave also helps against random faster threats like Mewtwo and Darkrai.Spacial Rend is the STAB of choice,Fire Blast for steels and Thunder for Kyogre and Lugia.Lum Berry helps me take status moves,which are very common in Ubers.I had considered Lustrous Orb since missing out KOs on Giratina-O is disappointing but Lum Berry has proven to be very useful,especially against Darkrai. Terrakion @ Choice Scarf Trait: Justified EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Close Combat - Stone Edge - X-Scissor - Taunt This team wouldn't be completed without a Ekiller check and a revenge killer.Terrakion fills those holes quite well.It also is an excellent cleaner late game,especially with Hazards support, sporting a great 108 base speed and hitting very hard for a scarfed mon.Close Combat is my main STAB.Stone Edge for coverage and a secondary STAB.X-Scissor hits Lati@s and mewtwo hard while Taunt is mainly filler.It's use has been mentioned earlier in Deo-S's description and also helps against random situations such as against Baton Pass,It's the most suspendable moveslot. Threats: Mewtwo:Very threating as it outspeeds my whole team bar Terrakion who cannot OHKO while hitting very hard in general.My methods to deal with it is beating it 1v1 with Ghostceus or through Terrak's X-Scissor+Ray's Espeed. Darkrai:Similar to Mewtwo but a little less dangerous as anything on my team beats it while unboosted and sleep clause active.But is a pain in the ass cause of Dark Void when played correctly. CM GhostCeus:Winning speed tie or paralyzing it is my only hope.I play carefully against it and keep Palkia healthy. Conclusion: There you have it.Hopefully I can get useful criticism in this RMT.Thanks to ybss,a good friend for helping me early in my ladder run with advice.I enjoyed my run with this team.Here's an importable if you want to try it out.

Ghostceus cannot beat mewtwo 1v1, at +1 mewtwo outspeeds and 2hkos with psystrike and u cannot ohko back. cm ghostceus: you are assuming he is unboosted, otherwise winning speed tie isn't very helpful. deoxys-s nitpick: use timid rayquaza: overheat > v-create, coz speed drops are detrimental to rayquaza's sweep also u seem somewhat weak to Ho-oh, nothing can take a bb except groudon who risks getting burnt, plus it easily comes in on 3 members of your team: palkia, deoxys and ghostceus, plus terrakion locked into some move not stone edge. EDIT: in which case, by ur explanation, SDRay > DDRay for you
Of course,I will attack them straight up with whatever I have if they try to boost.I don't switch unless I predict something or it is safe.If Mewtwo tries to boost,it will be severely dented as long as I don't do something stupid.I can paralyze ghostceus with palkia and sac something if needed.Other mons can hit it hard to prevent easy set up.I don't have problem sacking mons to beat troublesome threats. Confusion hax I assume.I'll change it. The extra power of v-create has been very useful since I use it more becoz of outrages's lock and confusion.And locking into outrage would be a disaster if ferro/forry gets free spikes. I don't need to take a bb.Ray,Terrak can revenge kill.Groudon can outspeed and kill defensive versions.Ghostceus can set up and hit it hard,Palkia can paralyze it and then it's easily revenged.Not a problem.Thanks for the rate. Did you not read my description?I had run SDRay before but had found the extra power unnecessary as I was rarely able to set up and -1 from V-create was annoying sometimes.So I changed SD to DD.
Your whole team is weak to spikes bar Rayquazza, which is weak to SR. It is difficult to completely remove this hazard weakness, but I suggest Latias> Palkia to ease this issue a little bit. Something like: Latias@Soul dew -Calm Mind -Roost -Psyshock/thunder -Dragon Pulse Depending on how much speed you want, ev is up to you, though I will suggest 112 HP / 204 SpA / 192 Spe with Timid nature. With this set, you have an even better Kyogre counter, still check CM Arceus with Psyshock, and as mentioned above, ease the hazard weakness a bit.
The problem with Latias is that it makes me much more weak to GhostCeus,since Palkia's Twave is very important to beat it.Latias also enables Genesect to spam U-turn on it for free momentum.If I switch I lose momentum,if I stay in and let it die,Kyogre and CMCeus rapes me.I don't really mind spikes since my lead,Deo-S can prevent them from going on via Taunt/Magic Coat,and later the offensive pressure of my sweepers also prevents spikes from going up,and even if a layer goes up,it isn't an issue since I don't rely on taking hits too much.It is one of the reason I use V-create on quaza.It lets me hit hard while not locking myself into outrage so that Ferro and Forry can come in lay down hazards.Thanks for the rate!
Because I'm not the best with Ubers and the metagame i cant suggest too much. However you could try using sleep talk > taunt on Terrakion so Darkrai won't be as much of a problem. I really can't think of anything i would do to this team seems really solid Good job on #1 :]
