I am horribly clumsy, but the iGuy seems to be very forgiving. I bought this at Target for 29,95$ and I soon enough fell in love with it. Now, my iPad is more of a friend than a tool. Thank you Speck! -

Price Value Quality5I bought for this for my son. He is 2 right now. He has dropped and it on all sorts surfaces and has been thrown and stepped on. The iPad is in way better conditions then my fiance's. The real test was when it was left outside and our dog thought it was a chew toy. It was chewed, ripped and torn but the iPad was perfectly fine... Awesome!!! -

Price Value Quality4I won an iPad Mini and immediately loaded preschool games onto it. We needed a case (so it wouldn't be broken if the 2yr old dropped it!) and this is PERFECT! It not only protects the iPad but the arms on iGuy make it easy for him to carry and hold onto while he's using it. We paid $35.99 + tax at Target - wish I saw it here for the cheaper price but we like it anyway! Good investment! -

Buying a 3 year old a 500+ toy doesn't sound like a good idea but its been a lifesaver and this iguy has helped protect the mini from numerous drops! We've had it on our mini since day one and we love it! Great investment. -

thanks xj.archaeologist
For those who are confused with when a Jailbreak or unlock program will come out Yiphone will come out first so here is a countdown timer i made myself contact me if theres any problems also its a widget for mac osx if this helped you at all please thank me Thank you
Well your going to have to wait a little longer. Almost no apps are ported to 2.0 and won't run on 2.0.
Sh*t all i need is last.fm application and MMS
Last.fm came out today in appstore. If you mean you want the old version I'm sure there not gonna update it now that they have it on appstore.
good job!
I honestly don't care who releases this first, I just want a working application so I can use my iPhone again. In the end all this drama is gonna be useless.
I thought it was Kathy Griffin going down on Woz :X, but I can't wait for it to come out, didn't get the last one but my friend did and he was showing me all the stuff you could do so I'm pretty excited to try it out
we could just watch this and wonder wtf is this guys problem..

The counter is going "more" negative, or you can say it's counting up to infinity
Ever think while ones counting down he's making fun of them by counting up Which clearly states he's way ahead of him -)
There's your answer weres my prize )

Approved by Arcticblast Smogon's Stat Exchange Hey there and welcome to the Stat Exchange tier! In this new metagame, a simple tweak causes some massive changes in both the viability of a majority of the Pokemon and some cool new strategies because of it. Here's how it works: RULES: First and foremost, this tier plays like regular OU, but with a catch (which I will explain next). Uber pokemon / items / abilities are still banned. For now. The regular mechanics are still in play- each Pokemon still gets their respective ability and movepool, and the way their abilities / items work is still exactly the same. Here's the catch. Each Pokemon's base defensive stats are exchanged with their base offensive stats. Here's what this means: ~Each Pokemon's base Defense stat will be swapped with its base Attack stat. ~Each Pokemon's base Special Defense stat will be swapped with its base Special Attack stat. And that's basically all of the rules to this new metagame! It might not seem like much, but the effects are huge. Common offensive pokemon now become defensive- for instance, Terrakion turns into a pretty solid physical wall, with high speed and moderate mixed offensive stats. Starmie now turns into a fast, special sponge, with its 100 SpA exchanged with its base 85 SpDef. A lot of common defensive pokemon now become offensive, too. The Regis are extremely powerful now- Regirock sports a massive base 200 Atk, along with decent base 100 Defense and base 50 Special Defense. Regice, similarly, now boasts a massive base 200 SpA, and fair bulk as well. Blissey is quite powerful now as well, since it keeps its massive 255 base HP and its ability to wall special attackers, but now sports a solid base 135 Special Attack, letting it sponge attacks and hit hard back. Here are some notable pokemon: REGICE / REGIROCK stats: Regice: 80 / 100 / 50 / 200 / 100 / 50 Regirock: 80 / 200 / 100 / 100 / 50 / 50 The behemoths of the tier, both sport base 200 offensive stats, along with great coverage moves and fair bulk. Regice is frightening, with a massive base 200 Special Attack stat along with awesome coverage in moves like Ice Beam, Blizzard, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Focus Blast, or Flash Cannon means that Regice will be extremely hard to wall. It has BoltBeam+Fighting type coverage, which hits a majority of the pokemon in the game for super effective damage, making it a destructive force. Regirock is just as scary. A base 200 Attack stat along with EdgeQuake coverage and moves such as Drain Punch or Focus Punch as coverage, it too will be extremely hard to wall. Its lackluster base 50 SpDef can even be covered by plopping it on a Sand team, which makes it a powerful, bulky tank that is hard to wall and take down. Both are monstrous. BLISSEY stats: 255 / 10 / 10 / 135 / 75 / 50 Blissey, at first, might not seem as threatening as the two Regis because of its pitiful Defense stat and not as great Special Defense, but it too can be destructive if kept unchecked. A high base 135 Special Attack stat along with its world-reknown base 255 HP means it's both bulky and powerful too- and that's not all it has up its sleeve. Blissey has great coverage moves such as Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, or Thunder, letting it hit many opponents super effectively, making up for its 'lack' of Special firepower in comparison to the Regis. Plus, Serene Grace means it can paralyze its opponents with Thunder, making it even harder to stop. It's very bulky too; after all, 255 HP goes far even if its defensive stats 'are not that great'. SHUCKLE stats: 20 / 230 / 10 / 230 / 10 / 5 Before you point and laugh at Shuckle's new shitty defenses and still shitty speed, just take a moment and glance at its new offenses. 230 base Attack and Special Attack, even more than the two Regis combined, make Shuckle a powerhouse hitter that will destroy everything. Unfortunately, its paper thin defenses and close-to-0 speed can't be ignored, and with a typing that makes it weak to nearly all forms of priority, Shuckle won't be able to stay long. Trick Room is definitely an option, however, and if you don't carry priority on your team, Trick Room Shuckle will dominate. OTHER NOTABLE THREATS: Landorus-T- a base 145 Defense along with Intimidate makes Landorus-T a solid answer to two of the tier's powerhitting behemoths, Regirock and Shuckle. Plus, it has a good base 105 Special defense too, making it a good all around wall. It's no offensive weakling either; a base 90 Atk stat is still great, and with access to EQ and Stone Edge, it can easily check Blissey, Regice, Regirock, and Shuckle. Cloyster- It seems as if Stat Exchange gives Cloyster everything it wished for- an acceptable base 85 Special Defense stat, a monstrous base 180 Atk stat, and a good base 95 Defense stat. After a Shell Smash, not much is going to be walling Cloyster, as its Icicle Spear can just plow through everything. Azumarill- Azumarill also got a lot better. Instead of a weak base 50 Atk, it now sports a good base 80 Atk stat- which is still laughable, but when boosted by its ability, Huge Power, it quickly becomes a powerful attacker that matches the strength of Cloyster or Regirock. Plus, it gets powerful priority in Aqua Jet, which will be useful in taking down Trick Room Shuckle and Regirock. There are plenty more for us to look into. Joim's been a huge help and has whipped up a script that lets one compare pokemon based on their new stats. Thanks Joim! I can't wait to see what you guys discover and find! If you want to play this metagame, head on over to Joim's Lab on Pokemon Showdown!, create a team, and start battling! Here are some things you might want to know while teambuilding: ~Because Stat Exchange involves switching each pokemon's base stats, and not the numbers themselves, EVs and IVs should still be put in the same place as before. For example, if you want to boost Shuckle's Atk stat, put Evs into its Atk stat slot- not its Defense stat slot. Same goes with natures. ~Eviolite still boosts defenses. ~Choice Items still boost offensive stats. ~Stat boosting items still boost their respective stats. Good luck everybody! Be sure to post any ideas / pokemon sets you have in this thread! I can't wait to hear from you!
Nice meta. At first glance, Virizion is the new Keldeo and Cobalion the new Kion. Cobalion in particular will shine in this meta, 4x resisting Shuckle's STAB (so regirock's too) and can destroy the main attackers easily with its great speed and CB close combat/iron head. Meanwhile, Virizion is a good CM user, easily threateningblissey and Regirock.
Oh my lord. I'm going digging through the Dex now to compare stats. I have a feeling this is going to be a VERY bulky, Setup-Sweeper-Heavy meta due to the awesome Attack/Defense stats available on some things. I'll reserve this post to post a few interesting finds. Kyurem-Black Stats: 125/100/170/90/120/95 Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Kyurem-B Goes from being a bulky behemoth, to being a super bulky, slightly fast defensive pivot. Although it is weak to Priority still, 170 base Defense on a base 125 HP means even Steel and Fighting Types will have trouble breaking through with their Priority move, especially considering all of the amazing Priority users like Scizor and Conkeldurr are now swapped to be on the densive side, but we'll discuss them at another time. Even this new Titan, Regirock, with it's devastating Stone Edge STAB, can't quite nab the OHKO. Here's Honkalculator's Damage Calc for a base 200 Atk Rock Type using Stone Edge on a base 125/170 HP/Def Dragon/Ice Type. 252+ Atk Life Orb (custom) Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def (custom): 320-377 (70.48 - 83.03%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Kyub still keeps its 95 base speed, which isn't completely awful considering most Defensive types in OU have lower base speeds (see all 3 examples posted by Electrolyte) which means Kyub can still come in with its usable 100/90/95 Offenses and punch a few holes in these new, frailer-than-DeoA, slow attackers, like Shuckle. Speaking of which, with TerraVolt, it even busts through those damn Sturdy Revengers you can expect from thing like Aggon, Rhyperior, and Shuckle. All in all, I see more defensive sets around for it, like SubShuffler with Hone Claws and Dragon Tail, working very well, as only the strongest attacks will be able to break through its stalwart bulk, even with it's semi-poor defensive typing. I can see it running Ice Beam as coverage for newly-bulky Landorus-Therian with it's high bulk and Intimidate, where Ice Beam does a good 69.1-81.67% even against Max SpDef spreads and can OHKO Fully Defensive spreads, whereas Dragon Tail does pitiful single-digit percentages, even after a Hone Claws boost. I can see Kyurem-Black being the new definition of Bulky Powerhouse. It's no stallbreaker anymore, but anyone not prepared to take it on will be very upset when it gets behind a Sub and starts shuffling out switch-ins with +1 Dragon Tail, or firing off Ice Beams and Dragon Claws from behind the safety of a Sub. Cobalion Stats: 91/129/90/72/90/108 Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide As Sarkynin pointed out, Cobalion becomes an (arguably) better Terrakion, with a better defensive typing, better bulk, the same speed tiers, 1 less attack, and access to a STAB Flinch-Inducing move in Iron Head. It can even run a Pseudo ParaFlinch set with TWave/Iron Head and Close Combat for Coverage. Cobalion is also one of the few checks to the previously mentioned Kyurem-Black, resisting both of its STABs and threatening it with Close Combat for a 91.41% chance to 2HKO with Close Combat through Le It also 4x resists Stealth Rock, making it easy to bring in and out, and it gets Volt Switch, making it superbly suited for a VoltTurn Core. It also 4x Resists Dark and gets Justified, making it a great partner for anything that hates those types, and especially TTar's Pursuit trapping antics, as the opponent will know that this bad boy is waiting in back to come in on a Crunch and wreak havok. I could see it becoming a great Scarfed Revenger or VoltTurn Spammer, or even the aforementioned ParaFlinch annoyer. With its 91/90/90 bulk, it stands to reason that most people will find a spot for it on their HO teams, or on other teams possibly as a Bulky Attacker or even as a Bulky Pivot. It can't really run any type of Hidden Power surprise, as with a 72 Base Special Attack, and more than likely either an Adamant or Jolly Nature, it won't hit anything even 4x Weak for any real damage. Dragonite Stats: 91/95/134/100/100/80 Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Hang on here. 91/134/100 Defenses with Multiscale? Doesn't this sound familiar? I think it reminds me of a certain Ubers Wall. VS Lugia Dragonite 106 HP 91 130 Def 134 154 SpDef 100 Not QUITE as bulky as the great wall, nor as fast by a longshot. However, Dragonite gets two somethings that Lugia does not that sets it apart. Dragon Dance and Dragon STAB. After setting up one or two DDances, Dragonite can begin Roosting off damage sustained, or start spamming Dragon Claw, or it's steel coverage (Fire Punch/EQ), or can revenge things with ESpeed, while still being able to take a hit, even without Multiscale intact. It still cannot take any sort of strong STAB Ice type without Multiscale, something Lugia can usually do no problem, but it is seriously bulky and powerful, with great coverage and sweeping capabilities. I'll add more as I find them.
Yeah, I've been messing with Cobalion; it's a great pokemon now. Iron Head + Close Combat solidly handles most offensive opponents. Trick Room is a fair strategy, but Trick Rooming against someone with a Shuckle can also be disastrous for yourself, so it's a tricky strategy to perfect. As much as it pains me to say, Rain is still pretty good. Azumarill and Cloyster are two solid Rain sweepers, and Regice / Blissey love having their Thunders hit with perfect accuracy. The numerous steel types in the tier also like having their fire weakness erased. I've been toying with TR Bronzong + Rain, and it's been working quite well. And thank you Joim for your link! I'll put it into the OP
Wow really good idea Electro. A few of my buddies are making a team now and we'd prolly like to test it sometime :)
lolling, even with Wailord's ridiculous 170/90/90 defenses, CB Regirock and Steelix still cut right through it 252+ Atk Choice Band Regirock Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Wailord: 288-340 (52.94 - 62.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Also, Marowak with 110 base Attack is nearly as ridiculous after Thick Club. 252+ Atk Thick Club Marowak Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Wailord: 246-291 (45.22 - 53.49%) -- 35.55% chance to 2HKO Haven't played yet, but there's so many things that seem extra beastly with this effect, particularly Milotic (125 SpA, 100 SpD), Dusknoir (135 offenses), Gorebyss (some needed special bulk), Omastar (125 Attack), Uxie (130 offenses), and Ferrothorn (131 Attack) Trick Room teams look crazy with Shuckle, Bastiodon, Probopass, Bronzong, etc. to sweep in it lol
The joke is that Cobalion is now (regular) Terrakion with worse STABs. This is definitely a really cool idea for a metagame, I'll have to look into trying it out...
Why are you using Regirock? Aggron is where it's at. 180 Atk with recoilless Headsmash ftw. Tangrowth is the new standard for tanks, 100/100/110 defenses with 125 attack, sleep powder, and regenerator. It can switch into Azumarill quite well. Cress is also pretty nice, 120/130/85 offenses. Initial thoughts after playing several matches: The meta is very, very slow in general. It's easy to carry something like the aforementioned Cress to revenge kill the many slow threats of the meta. Revenge killing in general is good answer to most of the bigger threats.
Lol Venusaur goes from 82/83/100/100 to 83/82/100/100. More powerful EQ I guess. Infernape becomes 76/71/104/71/104/108 so it's a fast defensive-ish SR setter/pivot. I'll add more as I find stuff. EDIT: Because Regircok does not have that quad fight and quad ground weakness.
Definitely thinking about using Agility Skarm, and perhaps Mantine too. Rain seems really good, even with the mighty mixed Ferro.
So I just saw this and haven't gotten to playing, but Kyurem-B looks flatout broken. So bulky! Also, from what I gather, most normally offensive pokemon become fast pivots, and that looks helpful in this meta. Luckily the heavyweights of the tier also have not very good speed, which means that they will be easier to take down, for example the Regis and Shuckle. Due to all the heavyweights being so slow, this obviously promotes bulky offense, but the aforementioned Cress looks like an amazing choice to use. Also, since stuff conserve HP stats, random stuff like Jelli look nice, abusing their decent HP stat with decent defenses and speed, along with pretty good offenses. Also Weak Armor Skarm looks deadly with an SD boost.
Two more of note: Porygon-Z 85/70/80/75/135/90 Porygon-Z becomes a fearsome special wall with Recover, playing much like Porygon2 does in UU and OU as a result. The usage of Barrier makes Porygon-Z a mixed wall. Rampardos 97/60/165/50/65/58 Rampardos becomes about as good a physical wall as Regirock is in NU with a base165 defense. Its options for status moves really help it, and it can use Curse to get its attack up to better levels.
With 125/130/130 defenses, a SubRoost set with Pressure seems interesting, also boasting a good 95 speed 79/115/125, too bad he hasn't reliable recovery, Prankster Sub and Taunt would be amazing >:( and I think ChestoRest Bulk Up is disappointing 95/135/110, Intimidate and Roost, this guy is interesting in my opinion
This is a great idea for a metagame, but there needs to be a new banlist for it, simply to kick out anything that is straight-up broken.
The metagame is still really new; after all, it's not even half a day old yet. For now, I'm just keeping the regular OU banlist, but that might change. We probably won't even need to ban anything. The awesome thing about this tier is, everything that's super powerful is also quite easy to check- for instance, all of the powerhouse threats I've listed above have extremely lackluster speed and at least one weak defense stat, making them relatively easy to revenge kill.
Keeping the regular OU banlist? Stuff like Blaziken, Excadrill, (Genesect?), Thundurus and Tornadus-T might need to be dropped :o
Forgive me if these pokes are noobish, but I am having a tough time comparing all the different mono-fighting types. Many of them have extremely high "defense" stats with a good amount of HP. While most of them do not have reliable recovery, they can make up for it with RestTalk+Guts. Since they receive the Guts boost when they are engaged in Sleep Talk, they can make up for their lowered attack stat. Right now Hariyama is my favorite out of the bunch (Hariyama, Conkeldurr, Throh, and Machamp). Low Kick+Guts 2HKO's Regirock. However if you want more consistent damage, then Seismic Toss is probably your better option (then you can use Thick Fat for more resists). Whrilwind is handy for shuffling. Hariyama = Most Bulky, phazing, but weak Conkeldurr = Least bulky, no phazing, but strong Throh = Bulky, phazing (circle throw), decent power machamp = annoying dynamic punch Hariyama (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Guts / Thick Fat EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk Impish Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Rest - Sleep Talk - Low Kick / Seismic Toss ? - Whirlwind This thing can switch in to most of unboosted Regirocks moves. It is extremely bulky with 144 HP stat + 120 Defense. It has a pitiful 60 attack stat, but it can use Guts to make up for it or Seismic Toss. Whirlwind is nice for shuffling out threats while Sleep Talking. The optimal Spiker to pair with this monster is Roserade. Roserade gets 125 SpD with the shift, making it a decent tank. Roserade can lay Toxic Spikes for Hariyama (it seems like a majority of the tiers threats are weak to them) and can wake Hariyama up with Aromatherapy. If you go with Seismic Toss, Hariyama gets some cool extra resists with Thick Fat. edit: How exactly do you stop Timid Rock Polish Regice??? BoltBeam + 499 SpA + Life Orb + 436 Speed = Broken ?
This is a really cool metagame, I like it a lot. :) From what I've seen Cobalion is going to be everywhere. I also saw TheMantyke using a Fatmence and it did a ton of work, easily avoiding a 2HKO from FLCL's +3 Cobalion's Iron Head, which was pretty impressive. I was trying out a Cobalion set which was pretty cool: Cobalion @ Leftovers Trait: Justified EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Thunder Wave - Iron Head - Close Combat Taking a page from the SD + Twave set on Groudon, this attempts to do something similar. Using free turns to cripple incoming switch ins before setting up with Swords Dance later on in the match. The metagame is pretty offensive so crippling something's speed is awesome and Cobalion can force many switches with its Steel/Fighting typing and STAB Close Combat. Twave + Iron Head is also nice if Cobalion needs to get in some clutch paraflinches.
Due to TR probably being significantly more prevalent in this metagame, priority and Taunt both will become fairly important to have on most, if not all, teams. A couple of candidates follow. Azelf becomes a fast defensive pivot with 75/125/125 defenses and 115 speed, along with access to Taunt, SR, dual screens and various other moves such as U-Turn to help it out. Something I suspect will probably get overlooked is Scizor. While initially it looks like it will lose out because its 130 base Atk gets removed, that fails to take into account that it gains usable 100 Atk and 80 SAtk along with incredibly useful priority in Technician Vacuum Wave and Bullet Punch. With threats like Shuckle, Regirock, Probopass, Bastiodon and Regice running around, this priority may come in handy, since a mixed LO set annihilates all of the above threats, as shown in the following calculations. 252+ SpA Life Orb Technician Scizor Vacuum Wave vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Probopass: 343-406 (105.86 - 125.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Shuckle: 897-1055 (367.62 - 432.37%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Life Orb Technician Scizor Vacuum Wave vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Bastiodon: 494-582 (152.46 - 179.62%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Regice: 369-437 (101.65 - 120.38%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Life Orb Technician Scizor Vacuum Wave vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Regirock: 234-278 (64.28 - 76.37%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Scizor will also be able to take some physical hits with 70/130 defenses (252+ Atk Regirock Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 199-235 (70.81 - 83.62%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock), although its base 55 SDef is a bit of a letdown. This access to very useful priority moves make it a potentially antimeta mon, although I suspect Azumarill will overshadow it with its 80 base Atk boosted by Huge Power and access to Aqua Jet. Just some food for thought
Shuckle as a lead with custap berry is almost guaranted to ko two things. Definitely a threat to watch for. Landorus-T is a bulky behemoth, with 145 def and intimidate theres no need to invest in it anymore so you can put everything on sp def allowing it to sponge special hits like theres no tomorrow. Dragonite simple doesnt die as long as you avoid stab ice moves. However it needs more dragon dancers in order to sweep. Tyranitar has been benefited greatly with 134 def and maintaining a respectable 110 atk. Though Choice Band and Scarf sets are probably a no-no in this meta its bulky sets are now capable of outstanding physical atks as much as well as special ones. Regice and Regirock need rock polish to sweep or else theyre essentially useless unfortunately. There are also other notable changes but ill play the meta more in order to have a better idea of what is going to be viable or not.

LIRR Draft "Pledge To Customers"
The Long Island Rail Road has released a draft "Pledge to Customers." The "Pledge" was developed in close cooperation with Senator Charles Schumer and the LIRR Commuters Council. This follows a service disruption last month where a lightning strike at Jamaica knocked out the LIRR's signal and switching control system and delayed customers for several hours during the evening rush hour.
The Draft LIRR "Pledge to Customers" follows:
LIRR is dedicated to delivering safe and reliable transportation. Our highest priority is to ensure customer safety and this pledge is always subject to that paramount concern:
A Safe, Reliable Ride – Our top priority is to provide transportation that gets customers to their destination safely, comfortably and on time.
Accurate and Timely Information – We will provide accurate, timely and meaningful information on service conditions, including via email alerts, mta.info, news, station, platform and onboard announcements to keep customers informed and allow them to plan their trips wherever they are.
Courteous Employees – LIRR crews and other employees will be helpful and courteous at all times and will provide accurate and timely information to customers. Our goal is to provide excellent service.
A Clean Environment – We will maintain a clean environment for our customers and the communities we serve, including at stations, restrooms and along our right-of-way.
When service is disrupted, customers can expect us to respond quickly and customer safety will remain our No. 1 concern:
Alternative Transportation – We will make every effort to stop trains at stations and open the doors to allow customers to seek alternate transportation and will provide customers with information concerning alternate routes and means of transportation. If scheduled LIRR service is not available, we will make every effort to provide customers with emergency bus service when possible.
Comfort – If a significant incident occurs that prevents us from bringing a train to a station, we will move immediately to assist affected customers. Emergency personnel will be dispatched to offer medical assistance and efforts will be made to provide water. If efforts to move the train are unsuccessful, customers will be evacuated safely. We will also coordinate with emergency personnel and other transportation agencies to ensure safe conditions during service disruptions. To facilitate these efforts, it is essential that customers listen for crew announcements and never leave a stranded train unless under the supervision of the train crew or rescue personnel.
Weather Emergency Notification – If it becomes necessary to temporarily suspend service when extreme weather is forecast or when snow accumulations are expected between 10-13 inches, we will use all our communication means so customers can "know before you go."
Severe Service Disruption Procedures – Customers will be given updated information regarding service restoration, including estimates of the time until service resumes. Onboard personnel will walk through trains regularly and provide accurate and timely information to customers. Comfort trains will be provided for customers stranded at Penn Station.
If you are not satisfied with the level of service you have received from the LIRR, email us and let us know.
The LIRR wants to hear from you! Submit your comments and suggestions about the LIRR's draft "'Pledge to Customers"
Alternative Bus & Subway Information
Seasoned commuters know it's always a good idea to have a back-up plan in the form of an alternate way to reach their destination.
For LIRR commuters, many alternate travel options are available in the Jamaica area -- IF you know where to find them. Jamaica has four major transit hubs, Jamaica Station included, which are served by four subway lines (E, F, J, and Z) and numerous bus routes that provide service to Nassau County, Queens and Brooklyn. Those that live in Suffolk County can use bus lines to Nassau County transit hubs like Hicksville or Babylon and then connect with bus service going further east. The LIRR is finalizing a brochure that will serve as a handy reference tool for commuters seeking alternate transportation during train service outages. It will include this map of the Jamaica transit hubs. Here's a preview. For complete route and schedule information for subways and buses, go to mta.info.

No Smoking Law Takes Effect November 13
A reminder that November 13, 2011 is the effective date of a new state law that prohibits smoking on outdoor ticketing, boarding and platform areas at LIRR terminals and stations.
This amendment of the NY Public Health Law, which also applies to Metro-North, was signed into law by Governor Cuomo this past August.
So, as of November 13, if you're a smoker, you'll have to fight that urge to light up when you're on an LIRR platform – including at Jamaica Station – or when you are in any other outdoor boarding or ticketing area.
As you know, smoking is already prohibited on trains and indoor portions of LIRR terminals and stations. Better yet, if you're a smoker, take your doctor's advice and get help to kick the habit. Being smoke-free is great for your health and for everyone else's too.
LIRRCC Event
The Long Island Rail Road Commuters Council is the official customer advocacy organization for LIRR riders. The group's members are LIRR commuters like yourself and they'd like to meet you. So say hello at their Meet The Council event on November 15, 4 PM - 7 PM in the Penn Station main gate area.

Jeep Enthusiast Drives Dealership's Online Sales
By Cindy Atoji Keene
The "Jeep wave" is a tradition among Wrangler drivers, symbolizing loyalty, fraternity and a common passion for adventure and freedom. For Peter Catanese III, waving to other like-minded enthusiasts as they pass on the highway is just one of the reasons he loves being a "Jeeper." "There isn't another vehicle on the road that's like a Jeep. It's an iconic brand that's fun and sporty," said Catanese, the mastermind behind JustForJeeps.com. He says the website has expanded his family's dealership, Central Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Norwood, into a popular source for Mopar parts (equipment manufactured for Chrysler vehicles.) JustForJeeps.com, launched seven years ago, draws about 3,000 visitors a day and generated $2 million in Internet-based parts sales last year, including to drivers in the Australian Outback and Tahiti. JustForJeeps.com also carries accessories and gear for Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Cherokee, Compass, Patriot and Commander, including Jeep-branded golf balls, hoodies, umbrellas, and even socks. "Jeep owners are among the most loyal," said Catanese. "Their enthusiasm is endless."
Q: This summer, you held the first annual Jeep Festival at the dealership. How did Jeep owners respond?
A: It was a rainy day in August, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but 300 Jeep owners showed up with their vehicles, mainly Wranglers. Caravans of Jeeps met up at service plazas and other places around Boston and drove down together. We had raffles, country music, and just hung out. One of our slogans was, "Jeeps, Jeeps, Jeeps! It's a Jeep thing – you wouldn't understand."
Q: Jeeps used to have a reputation for unreliability – is that still the case?
A: Not at all – Jeeps are completely different now. Starting in early 2000, the entire Jeep and Dodge brand changed. The new Grand Cherokee is amazing, especially for the price, mid $30,000. There's an updated Wrangler too; they came out with four-door vehicles that made it a practical vehicle for the family instead of the vehicle that always sat in the driveway.
Q: What's the most popular item or accessory that you sell?
A: Even more than parts, Jeep clothing – like children's Jeep overalls – are popular. In the last year, we've also sold a lot of cargo liners, splash guards, tote bags, and folding chairs. Running boards, or side steps as well as roof racks also go quickly.
Q: How did you happen to start JustforJeeps.com?
A: After I finished college, I started working at the dealership, managing the Internet sales department for new vehicles. But I just didn't enjoy the price- haggling part of my job, and one day, a Mopar sales rep visited and told me about how another dealer was attracting a lot of customers by selling Mopar parts online. I decided we needed to do the same thing. It's a good niche, because only dealers can sell Mopar parts – regular customers can't just go out and get them.
Q: Did you expect to be selling worldwide?
A: We have shipped anywhere you can think of, including Vanuatu, a remote island in the South Pacific where one of the Survivor seasons was filmed. We haven't gotten many orders from Africa, but we've had Jeep customers in the Middle East, South America, the Caribbean, and a huge business to Australia.
Q: What was it like to grow up the son of a dealership owner?
A: When I was 16, I got a demo car, lucky me. It was a new Grand Cherokee. Even up to today, I've never owned a car; all my cars were owned by the dealership. Today I drive a green Wrangler.
Q: Of all the Jeeps, which one is your favorite?
A: The Wrangler. It's practical and a lot of fun, and practically the only car where other drivers wave to you. I recently put the Wrangler to the test and went off-road at the Rocky Mountain Terrain Park in Maine. I often thought, "We're going to tip over" or "I can't go up that incline," but the car proved me wrong.

Preface: As the new Charles Darwin biopic Creation is released in U.S. theaters today, we are re-posting our movie review that first appeared in September on our website. The review was composed after the film premiered in the UK. With the assistance of Paul Taylor of our sister AiG office in Leicester, England, as well as Professor Andy McIntosh, who both saw Creation, we posted the following movie review. Interestingly, the actor who portrays Darwin is Paul Bettany, an avowed atheist who also stars as the Archangel Michael in an apocalyptic action film that is being released today as well, Legion.
A Hollywood Hagiography1
The tension between evolution and religion as it played out in the Darwin household is dramatized in a new film.2 With the provocative and arguably offensive title of Creation (originally called Origin), the movie not only presents how Darwin lost his remaining Christian beliefs, but also offers an account of his family life, particularly the death of his young daughter Annie. Her death was such a tragic event in Darwin's life that he soon lost any vestige of his beliefs regarding Christianity. The tension of having a very religious wife (a Unitarian) only complicated matters, as Darwin wrestled over the question of why there is suffering and death in this world if there is a God. In fact, Annie's death in 1851 became the bleak backdrop to the writing of his book On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859), which the film recreates.
In the Origin book, Darwin wove death into the fabric of his evolutionary story as a part of his proposed process for onward-and-upward evolution. He thus depicted death (ironically) as an integral part of life, which is in complete contradiction to the Bible's teaching that death is an enemy and an invader into creation (as the result of Adam's rebellion; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Genesis 3). As the film shows, the death of Annie destroyed Darwin's remaining belief in the Christian faith. As two of his biographers have noted, the death of Annie "chimed the final death-knell for his Christianity. . . . Charles now took his stand as an unbeliever."3
The film Creation, which some people take to refer to both the creation of the Origins book and the creation/evolution controversy, stars Paul Bettany, who is best known for his roles in popular movies such as The Da Vinci Code (where he played the assassin monk), Master and Commander, and A Beautiful Mind (in which he won the London Film Critics' Award for Best British Actor). In Creation, he co-stars with his Oscar-winning wife Jennifer Connelly. (Bettany, by the way, visited our Creation Museum in June—see photo.4)
Creation, based on the book written by Darwin's great-great-grandson and entitled Annie's Attic, is a secular hagiography of Darwin, which is not surprising given that modern films have a proclivity towards themes that fly in the face of biblical teachings. Bettany is an atheist himself and calls Darwin "a hero of mine and I think in the absence of Jesus, he's a really useful hero to have."5
British creationist Andy McIntosh, a professor at the University of Leeds who wrote to us in a personal capacity and who has seen the film,2 shared that Creation is well produced and generally accurate historically. Prof. McIntosh does point out, however, that as with the typical biopic of today, artistic license is taken. States Prof. McIntosh: "There is a constant reference to Anna's 'ghost' in the movie. Darwin is seen as driven by her voice and memory to publish all his work. Fictional as well are the depictions of the struggle between Emma's desire for her husband not to publish and her finally acquiescing to it." Apparently Emma had problems with what her husband was writing, but she was not as belligerent about it as the film shows.
There are anti-Christian scenes played out in the film (above the obvious creation/evolution debate) that are probably fictional and are hits against Christianity. There is a scene, for example, in which Annie is chastised and harshly punished by a pastor for believing in dinosaurs; that is a frequent but false charge made by evolutionist critics of biblical creationists even today: that many Christians believe that dinosaurs never existed and that God may have placed their bones in the ground to "test their faith." In fairness, the film does show a man anguished over the potential of his book to shake people's faith in God, and that sentiment of Darwin's apparently was true in real life.
Also on the positive side, Darwin comes off as a strong family man in the film, which, by all accounts, he was. Portraying this side of Darwin is probably an intentional P.R. white-washing by the producers of a man whose beliefs had unintended disastrous consequences on the world (e.g., fueling racism, violence, etc.). Evolutionists often claim that biblical creationists look upon Darwin as something of an evil man, but except for a few isolated quotes from creationists, that is a view not promoted by the leading creationist organizations. At the same time, we don't hesitate to discuss the evil fruit of evolution thinking—see, for example, The "evolutionizing" of a culture.
The film does not shy from the fact that Darwin was not an originator of the concept of evolution. Creation depicts how Alfred Russel Wallace, independent of Darwin and through his own research abroad, had also come up with the idea of evolution through natural selection. When Darwin discovers this (as the movie shows), he sets aside twenty years of procrastination and rushes to get Origins to the printer. By the way, Darwin's grandfather Erasmus was already a believer in evolution, and naturalistic views of evolution go back to the ancient Greeks.6 For a critique of natural selection's ability to turn molecules into men, go to: Is Natural Selection the Same Thing as Evolution?
Darwin and Death
Written with a backdrop of Darwin's family misfortunes, On the Origin of Species is essentially a book on the history of death. As Darwin wrote towards the end of the book: "Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows."7
From his evolutionary perspective on the origin of life, Darwin recognized that death had to be a permanent part of the world. Undoubtedly, he struggled with this issue as he sought to reconcile some sort of belief in God with the death and suffering he observed all around him (especially with Annie) and which he believed had taken place over a very long time that was well outside the biblical timeline of 6,000 years. His personal struggle over why there could be so much death in the world if there was a God came to a head with Annie.
What the Bible says about Death
From a reading of Genesis and accepting it as a straightforward, literal history of the world's beginnings, there was once a perfect world ("very good"; Genesis 1:31), but through Adam's rebellion the creation became corrupted. As a consequence, death entered the perfect world (Romans 5:12). The apostle Paul described death as an interloper, calling it the "last enemy" (1 Corinthians 15:26).
Ultimately, then, the battle between creation and evolution is a struggle between two different histories of death and where humankind is going. As Christians, we have hope in a risen Christ who conquered death so that one day we can be with Him where there will be no death:
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
Now, if a Christian accepts a history of death over millions of years, what does he or she do with the teaching that everything God had made was "very good"? "Survival of the fittest" would mean that suffering, disease (e.g., TB), and death—represented in the fossil record—were also "very good." The true history of death, as understood from a straightforward reading of Genesis, enables us to recognize a loving Creator who hates death, an enemy.
For more in-depth teaching on why a loving God allows suffering and death, go to Why Does God's Creation Include Death and Suffering? To watch an excellent "docu-lecture" on the life and impact of Darwin, order Dr. Tommy Mitchell's new DVD: The Evolution of Darwin: His Life.

- We use the word Hollywood in a loose sense—this is really a British production. Back
- The film is being released in England today (September 25), and thus Americans—such as the writer of this web article—have not yet seen it (unless they attended a premiere in Toronto, Canada, held at a recent film festival or perhaps at a European preview). After some difficulty securing a U.S. distributor (that decision was only announced yesterday that Newmarket, the distributor of The Passion of the Christ, will carry it in America), Creation debuts in U.S. movie houses in January 2010.
The last-minute securing of a distributor is probably due to the film's producer, Jeremy Thomas, making recent noise to the media about the film not being carried in the U.S.; for example, he told the Telegraph that "outside of New York and L.A., religion rules." Newmarket apparently piggybacked off the publicity Thomas and others had created and signed on to distribute the just-hyped movie. Back (1) Back (2) - A. Desmond and J.

- Bettany told the Daily Mail that the Creation Museum was "bananas. It was sort of funny initially, and then I found it sad. . . . I was so shocked." Coming from a self-proclaimed atheist, such words are not surprising when a person is confronted with a totally different worldview. Back

Family first for DayBy Thomas Rooney on 17-Feb-2012 | |
Jason Day has revealed he would be ready to sacrifice his place at this year's Open Championship should it coincide with the birth of the Aussie's first child. Day's wife Ellie is due to give birth on July 11, seven days before the start of the tournament at Lytham. The world number seven has established himself as one of the world's most exciting players, recording stunning second place finishes at last season's Masters and US Open. However, the news that he may give up his place has seen his latest golf odds plummet. There are many who believe the 24-year could step up this year and claim a maiden major title, although, Day has made it clear he won't be willing to put his chance at the Open ahead of witnessing the birth of his first child. The Aussie has insisted golf comes in second place behind family in his eyes, however, Day will certainly be hoping things work out, allowing him to make the season's third major tournament. "If the baby is coming that week, I will definitely be missing the British Open." "There is no way I will miss the birth of my first child. Golf is one thing but family is everything to me." "Golf isn't going to be there if I break my leg or if I lose the plot and forget how to swing a club - my family will be there. It's family first every time." Day has started 2012 in the same sort of form which he finished last year, climbing up to seventh in the rankings following his runner-up finish in Qatar last month. It surely seems only a matter of time, and something that would come with slim golf betting odds, before this 24-year old picks up that big win and reaches the top-5 in the world. | |

I have been a member on and off a couple of times. It is always frustrating to not receive the movies you want to watch, when you want to watch them. Also Boxsets get sent out of order which is pointless.
I use IMDB probably 5-10 times a day.
It is a fantastic site that is quick and easy to navigate.
Always reliable with orders. If things go wrong, they fix the issue straight away. For example, I ordered a digital camera a few years back. It was sent unrecorded and it never arrived.
I called them and they sent a replacement out, upgraded the postage and it arrived next day.
I use them all the time and cannot fault them as a company. In fact, I am a fan of them.
I bought a 2TB Buffalo USB3 external hard drive 18 months ago from eBuyer. Whilst the initial experience was good, when things went wrong my response was not so.
The drive comes with a 24 month warranty, and I got a Product Return Form from Buffalo as per the request from eBuyer. Initially, they said that I would have to send the drive to Holland at my expense to get it replaced. This would cost me £25 and wouldnt be traceable or insured. eBuyer then said if Buffalo gave me a Product Return Form, then they would replace the drive.
Great news!
So I got the form, eBuyer picked up the drive.
This morning, I was told that they would not replace it as the drive is more expensive now (by £9.41!) and they would give me a partial refund.
A partial refund? On a faulty drive within the warranty period? Support won't respond to my emails, so I signed up on Twitter and sent Armando Sanchez a message. I have also called his number too.
No reply yet.

Great Moments In Unlicensed Pittsburgh Sports Merch: Geno Must Break You
Thanks to Penshead for this. He says:
"my latest addition to the collection of Geno shirts"
It's true, his love of Geno has resulted in some awesome generic shirts sent my way. Here's 2 directly related to Malkin (1, 2) and 3 more that still feature his number in some way (1, 2, 3) as well as Geno being pictured with one of the greatest unlicensed pieces to date (here).
This one has the Russian hockey player's image with the legendary phrase of fictional countryman and boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, "I Must Break You." The whole Russian-ness of Geno has inspired some awesome generic pieces to this point (example).
With the popularity of the HBO 24/7 series, the Winter Classic and the Pens still near the top of the league, I expect the number of unlicensed Geno shirts to continue on this upward trajectory.
(thanks to Cotter for the banner pic)

Dan Uggla has now homered in two straight games, but, more importantly, he has two other hits in those games, making him hotter than a junebug on a duck's back or some other yokelism they say in The South. That's at least compared to how he looked like Rocky Dennis on all his swings prior to this week. That's if Rocky Dennis wore Affliction. "Yo, yo, yo, whaddup, boss? Get another round of Flaming Nads for my lady friends!" That's Dan Uggla at Senor Frog's. (BTW, it looks like the 3rd Giambi brother in the background of that Uggla picture.) I don't think Uggla can get his average much higher than .230, but he's still more than capable of getting to 30 homers. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jair Jurrjens – 6 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 2 Ks as he continues to defy his FIP. BTW, if you were in a fantasy league with Murray Chass, you'd be getting your ass handed to you. "Hey, Grey, I just traded Alexi Ogando to Murray Chass!" That's you two months before you're throwing darts at a board with my picture.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Nixon's anti-contraceptive coverage veto overridden
Governor Jay Nixon's veto of anti-contraceptive coverage bill has been overridden by both the Missouri House and Senate.
Both chambers needed a two-thirds majority to override the veto, and the House got exactly that margin. It passed the Senate with over a three-fourths majority. The new law gives employers the option of denying coverage for birth control, abortions and sterilization. GOP Assistant Floor Leader Jeannie Riddle says it's about both religious freedom and protecting small business owners.
"To require them to go against every moral fiber of how they choose to operate their business, I believe it goes against every moral fiber of us as Americans," Riddle says.
Governor Nixon was disappointed, saying the new law will weaken women's options and give too much power to insurance companies.
Meanwhile, the vote yesterday appeared to mark the first time a state has directly rebutted a policy by President Barack Obama's administration, which requires insurers to cover contraception.
A Kansas City-based labor group says it's filing a suit to block the new law.

Havana, 28 Jun 07
UN-HABITAT's Executive Director, Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka has said the agency would continue to support the Cuban government's drive to provide decent housing for the country's poorest people.
"Cuba continues being an example to the world," said Mrs. Tibaijuka, when she arrived in the Caribbean nation 17 June on her first visit to the country in 30 years. UN-HABITAT, she said would continue to support government policies aimed at housing the poorer segments of society.
UN-Habitat runs technical projects that aim to aid rural and urban development, reduce poverty, establish infrastructures and help with water management.
Mr. Abelardo Moreno Fernández, Vice-Minister, Ministry of Foreign Affairs proposed that UN-HABITAT initiatives and support to the UN-HABITAT Revolving Fund be brought to the agenda of the Nonaligned Countries next year when Cuban will hold the revolving presidency of the movement.
In other meetings between the Cuban officials, the UN-HABITAT Executive Director examined ongoing social projects in urban areas.Mr. Victor Ramirez, the President of the Instituto Nacional de la Vivienda, explained to her the successes in 2006 when the construction of 100,000 new homes was completed, and new plans implemented to provide better protection against natural disasters like hurricanes.
Mrs. Tibaijuka described Cuba as one of the only countries to have achieved such impressive results in the construction of housing for those people on lower salaries. A programme that, she affirmed, no-one has managed outside of the Caribbean Island.
"On coming to Cuba, I have confirmed what they had told me. I have seen it with my own eyes," she said. "Cuba is a country with great knowledge on the subject of sustainable development and we want to see how we can share their experiences and ideas with the rest of the developing world."
The President of the Provisional Assembly of the City of Havana (equivalent to a Mayor), Mr. Juan Contino, presented her with the Order of Distinguished Visitor at a reception in her honour. On departure, Mrs. Tibaijuka expressed her condolences at the death of the Cuban heroine, Ms.Vilma Espin Guillois.

Liberty Medical in Salem announced Tuesday it's laying off 200 people. Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Salem, issued this statement:
"News of layoffs is unwelcome at any time of year. Jobs continue to be the top concern in Virginia's Ninth District, and I'm deeply concerned by this announcement and the impact it will have on so many families.

We have been dying to try the artisanal ice cream bicycle shop, Peddler's Creamery in Los Angeles. The ice cream shop opened a few months ago just in time for summer and serves up delicious bicycle churned organic dairy and non-dairy ice cream. Owner Edward Belden has been making ice cream for more than three years and previously sold it from the back of his bike before opening his shop at CicLAvia, the Hammer Museum's Bike Night and other popular events.
The ice cream is made with organic, fair trade and local ingredients with 5% of profits will go to social and environmental causes.
Cheers to summer!

Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 11 through 20 of 27 reviews
"A True Classic Smoke"
Nick did it right on this classic cigar, the history of the lot is pretty cool and so is the smoke. Medium with spice and natural flavor, excellent construction and burn, a cool smoke thats a nubber for sure so get a tooth pick and enjoy the last inch. everyone should keep a few in their collection they age very well and are worth the consideration
Ken in Sammamish Washington August 17, 2010
"Great smoke, better than many cubans"
My expectations from this stick were high but it delivered fully. Living in Russia I have an opportunity to smoke top Cuban cigars which dominate the market here. So I can tell you guys that Perdomo Lot 23 beats many premium Cubans by a wide margin. It has all the Cubans have but also flavor and sweetness which they often lack. Wonderful smoke! I can not wait to smoke Maduro version which rests in my humidor after spending three weeks in shipping.
GF in Moscow March 7, 2010
"Certainty in a box"
Nick Perdomo Jr. recommended these to me during his visit. It had no big surprises, but it was a great cigar for those who are developing taste. Bought a box of 20 autographed by Nick. 10 are gone, all my friends enjoy this cigar. Satisfies every time.
Felipe in WA January 11, 2010
"A favorite"
I always have these in my humidor. I like the natural a little better than the maduro, but either way, you can't miss. Very tasty cigar.
B. Dunn in Oceanside December 30, 2009
"The train stops here"
This was one of the first cigars I've ever smoked, and it really took me on to smoking and encouraged me to try other cigars. The entire time through my journey, this cigar has been my standard and remains my standard for everything I should look for in a cigar. I tried another one this past weekend for the first time since that first cigar and..."aaaah" say no more. The train stops here at the Perdomo Lot 23 for me. Cigars that are more expensive simply are not worth it..
in September 15, 2009
"Tobacco flavor"
Not really a fan of the natural lot 23, I think the maduro is wonderful. The natural lacks complexity as well as flavor unless your smoking preference is that of tobacco flavor. The construction is good, draw is good, flavor blah. I say stay with the Habano and Champagne naturals of the Perdomo line and stick with the Maduro Lot 23. Not recommended unless you are looking for a large smooth cigarette.
Jamison in Texas January 15, 2009
"fast becoming one of my favorites"
These are fast becoming one of my favorites. Nice smoke for the price.I will keep some of these in my humidor.
Tom in south carolina January 6, 2009
"Lot 23 is a Winner"
Great tasteing cigar..with a great finish..Try This One!!!
Anthony in Baghdad Iraq April 2, 2008
My favorite is the 858 Fuente Nat. The Perdomo Lot 23 is also right up there. Has a spicy flavor, and not quite med. strength. Wrapper is smooth and delicate. ENJOY
mike r in fairview park, ohio March 28, 2008
"Smooth Smoke"
Nice and smooth with a hint of spice

Which one is better?(considering weaknesses, moves and stats) dragonite dragonair asked Jun 5, 2013 by Aurasphere It doesn't gain a weakness to lightning, it becomes neutral. And Dragonite has much better stats unless you want to use eviolite. Also, while losing a resistance to electric, it gains a resistance to fighting and bug. Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 1 vote Best answer Go with Dragonite. Base stats make a large jump from 420 to 600 (180) and he gains about the same amount of resistances as he loses. If you are type matching, you will be fine. Dragonite will also learn Inner Focus (unless you have multiscale). Inner focus will give you a better chance to attack on a regular basis. Dragonite can also learn a wide range of moves from fire to steel to ice to electric, while Dragonair is stuck with mostly dragon moves (excluding tms). Another upside to both of them is that they can learn most of the TMs for lots of choice in them. Pick Dragonite! And good luck. answered Jun 5, 2013 by Pixelmon selected Jun 8, 2013 by Aurasphere Please log in or register to add a comment.

swear on a stack of Bibles definition
swear on a stack of Bibles
Promise solemnly that what one is about to say is true, as in I swear on a stack of Bibles that I had nothing to do with his dropping out. This term alludes to the practice of placing one's hand on a sacred object while taking an oath, which dates from the mid-10th century. It is still followed in courts of law where a witness being sworn to tell the truth places a hand on the Bible. [Mid-1800s]
