Roserade (Japanese: ロズレイド Rozureido) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon,
Also called the Boutique Pokémon. Roserade is a small plant/human-like Pokémon with a similar appearance to its pre-evolved form, Roselia. Like Roselia, Roserade have fully bloomed flowers at the ends of their arms, though they have three on each arm, appearing like bouquets, as opposed to Roselia's one rose on each arm. Instead of the dress-like leaf in the front, Roserade has a long cape-like leaf on their backs. Roserade also have a single leaf present between their legs. Around their necks are a yellow "collar", and on their head are white rose petals which appear as hair. Covering the top part of its face is a leaf, making it appear that it is wearing a mask.
The shiny version of Roserade have, in general, a more pale color. The red bouquet is changed to purple, and the blue is changed to gray. Female Roserade have a longer "cape" than a male Roserade.
Special Abilities
Roserade have the abilities Natural Cure and Poison Point. Natural Cure will cure any Status Ailments upon switching out of battle, and Poison Point will cause a 30% chance that the opponent Pokémon will become poisoned if physical contact is made.
In Anime
Roserade made its debut appearance in the Pokémon anime episode Oh Do You Know the Poffin Plan. This Roserade was owned by a woman named Forsythia near Floaroma Town, it was known for being quite shy. When Team Rocket attacked Forsythia's garden however, it fashioned a scarf on itself much like a ninja hood, and received a large boost of confidence, defending the garden.
Another Roserade appeared under Gardenia's control in A Grass Menagerie where it battled Ash's Turtwig and Aipom. It defeated Turtwig with a fiery Weather Ball, but fell to Ash's Aipom with a combination of Aipom's Focus Punch and Swift.
Another Roserade appeared under Barry's ownership in Barry's Busting Out All Over!. He used Roserade to battle against Ash's Chimchar and Gliscor. Roserade managed to beat Chimchar with several Poison Jabs and eventually tied with Gliscor and fainted along with Gliscor. His Roserade later appeared in Steeling Peace of Mind!.
Drew was revealed to have evolved his Roselia into Roserade sometime during his journey through Johto. His Roserade was shown via flashback by May's brief visit for the Wallace Cup.
A Roserade appeared in The Rise of Darkrai in a flashback where it was shown as a Pokémon being put to sleep by Darkrai's Dark Void attack.
Roserade' is the final evolution of Budew. Roselia evolves into Roserade by the use of a Shiny Stone.

Interesting benchmarks, with my gt630 (kepler) i did only dhewm3 tests and the difference was minimal. Maybe you really need a very fast card to see em.
Phoronix: Testing NVIDIA's Linux Threaded OpenGL Optimizations
With the NVIDIA 310.14 Beta driver introduced at the beginning of this week there are some OpenGL performance improvements in general plus an experimental threaded OpenGL implementation that can be easily enabled. In this article are benchmarks from the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 with this new Linux driver release.
Interesting benchmarks, with my gt630 (kepler) i did only dhewm3 tests and the difference was minimal. Maybe you really need a very fast card to see em.
I wonder how threaded optimization will behave in WINE....
These tests should start to include some benchmarking using it....
Maybe using some simple games easy to install and play ...
There is also a set of Windows libraries and registry settings that is common to majority of games...
The threading optimization is simply nvidia implimenting a hack that has been floating around for World of Warcraft in wine. You find the history of it here:
From that thread it is clear that this issue is special for WoW, but may also be of interest to Guild Wars 2. I can confirm that the patch does wonders for WoW on linux with wine, just as intended.
Thanks for the thourough testing, it confirms that this really is a special issue for WoW, while earlier indications were more anecdotal in nature.
Can you confirm that WoW without that patch but with this on delivers the same performance?
Impressive decrease of performance "in applications that heavily rely on synchronous OpenGL calls such as glGet*". At least for vdrift I can tell that it is using glGet calls in the GL2-1 backends. But it is interesting to see how much difference it makes.
This is the thing I don't like about OpenGL api. It makes it very easy to write very inefficient code.
Well, I never got ae's patch to work, so I can only refer to others benching of that. That said, I can confirm that the WoW without ae's patch, but with nvidias threading provides vastly better performance (when you need it, think during raid and battleground) than without threading optimization. The effect is supposedly twice what you get for ae's patch, but the big bone is that it actually works for everybody and it is stable. You definitely do not want to use ae's patch together with nivida's optimization, they both try to achieve the same.

It was probably hidden. If you are not sure why, then please use this thread to ask. Any new posts asking why questions were hidden will be hidden. Please follow these steps before posting: Step 1: Read the rules. The most common reasons questions are hidden are: being purely opinion e.g. "what is your favorite Pokemon" being on the wrong section e.g. a team question on Pokebase instead of Battle Subway on team questions, not including all the required information (Moves, Ability, Items, Nature, EVs or Roles). on team questions, being in-game teams instead of competitive teams way too trivial e.g. "what level does Bulbasaur evolve at?" a moveset question (we already have one for every Pokemon) duplicates of other questions For answers, they may be hidden if you answer many days later with no new information than what's already there, or they may be unsatisfactory because they are incorrect or hard to read due to poor grammar. Step 2: Read the rules again because you probably didn't read them close enough. Step 3: Read the rules again. Step 4: Re-read the rules before posting because you probably ignored the majority of this post. Step 5: If you are sure you didn't break any rules, post an answer here asking why your question was hidden. Obviously include a link to the question/answer you are asking about, otherwise we have to search though and endless list of hidden posts to find the one you're talking about. Once you have posted, a mod or senior user will comment and tell you what rule you broke. When they do tell you, do not argue with them - they have been here long enough to know the rules. Just accept that you broke a rule and move on. Plus, it shows how mature you can be. Remember that is thread is about learning what you did wrong and not complaining about it. Also, if you posted a question or answer and it doesn't show up straight away then it probably needs to be approved. There is a message that tells you this when it happens. A Moderator or Editor will get to it soon and approve it (or reject it if it breaks the rules). Have a bit of patience, sometimes due to inconsistencies with time zones it takes several hours for us to do this. questions answers hidden asked Aug 10, 2012 by Pokemaster edited Aug 30, 2014 by ƒιzz Show 5 previous comments True. But still i find it random, and kinda rude...it would be different if it was Spam or a useless post Yo, I don't know where to talk about this, but I come back and I look in my profile that someone changed it to something about Nazi's? The hell? I took it down, dunno how long it's been there. No one can change your profile unless they have access to your account. Mods can't edit profiles? Can Pokemaster?

There wasn't enough information for the team to be properly rated, so the post was hidden to avoid clutter on the Battle Subway. If you'd like to fix it, I could re-show so you can edit it, if that would help? Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Yesterday , I posted a thread that stated ideas for a new duel-type ( Eletric/Poison), but it didn't get posted. It took a lot of time and effort to make ( which is why I pasted it onto a word document. Yah, this isn't the first time I came across this problem!) the stats, movesets, and etc. It can't be a moveset problem cause the pokemon doesn't exsist, and my question is far from vague. The only reason I can think of is that I didn't make the thread to the moderator's likings. If thats the case, then I have more freedom living ina box then being here in this bully infested site. Even though the question is somewhat useless and might no get anywhere, it's still a well thought of, very intresting conversion to get into. This is probably the time where I get ambushed by your mind-controlled henchmen. If someone is willing to actually put together a useful answer, I'll be more than happy to agree ;) answered Feb 14 by Unknown64 Sorry, but this site is not for that sort of thing. The purpose of this site is to provide information and answer any queries relating to the (official) games. If and when Pokemaster makes a forum, then things like that can be posted there. Sometimes some users will like to run a small contest on META (drawing contests, battle tourneys etc.) but otherwise, we don't have a place to accommodate things like. In the mean time, may I suggest deviantart or Marriland to discuss this sort of thing? This is something you'd take to chat. http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/chat Fondant pretty much covered this, but I just want to clarify that the reason it was hidden was because it was like a forum post, not a question on a Q&A. The rules state "questions should be answerable, not discussed endlessly" - this post didn't follow this guideline. I love how he calls you "mind controlled henchmen" and you answer calmly and politely. HAH.

Which (if I remember correctly) is still in the rules. I may be way off, but I thought I would say :P Needs 6 Pokemon, he didn't even want a 6, it wasn't a question of "Idk what I should put". If It's an "Idk what I should put" it's fine, if it's "lol no, 5 Pokemon team gogogo" not so much. Wait, I understand the part of him not asking about a 6th pokemon, but do you need to have 6 members to ask a RMT question?

President Obama / Pablo Martinez Monsivais, AP
WASHINGTON - President Obama told the nation Tuesday he is exploring a Russian diplomatic plan to end a chemical weapons dispute in Syria, but reserves the right to take military action if necessary.
"It's too early to tell whether this offer will succeed," Obama said during a White House address, but it is worth pursuing because of "the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force."
During his nationally televised speech from the White House, Obama also said:
â?¢ He wanted to talk to the country "about Syria, why it matters and where we go from here."
â?¢ He resisted any intervention in Syria's civil war for months until Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons against anti-government rebels on Aug. 21, killing numerous children.
â?¢ Use of these banned weapons increase the possibility of other chemical attacks in other parts of the world, perhaps even the United States.
â?¢ A lack of action would erode prohibitions on other weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons.
â?¢ "I know that after the terrible toll of Iraq and Afghanistan, the idea of any military action, no matter how limited, is not going to be popular;" but any action in Syria would be specifically targeted on its chemical weapons programs.
â?¢ Syria does not have the ability to retaliate against the United States.
â?¢ He is encouraged by Russia's proposal to have Syria give up its chemical weapons, but added: "I've ordered our military to maintain their current posture to keep the pressure on Assad and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails."
â?¢ Americans should review videos of the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack now posted on the White House website, particularly the pictures of dead and dying children.
"Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong," Obama said. "But when with modest effort and risk we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act."
Obama's speech capped a flurry of diplomatic activity, as American, British and French officials spoke with Russian counterparts about their idea to have Syria turn over their chemical weapons to international control for dismantling.
So far, they are at odds on the details.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would only support a Syrian turnover if the Obama administration renounced the possible of use of force against Assad's government.
Obama declined to do that. In meetings with U.S. senators on Tuesday, and during his prime time speech, Obama said it's the potential for force that pressured Syria into negotiations about releasing its chemical weapons stockpile.
Officials said Secretary of State John Kerry would fly to Geneva, Switzerland, for a Thursday negotiation session with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Syria announced Tuesday it would accept Russia's offer, and said it is willing to join a global ban on chemical weapons.
Members of Congress, divided over a resolution authorizing military action against Syria, began exploring alternatives in light of the new diplomatic moves. The use-of-force resolution faces uphill battles in both the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-run House.
Earlier on Tuesday, Obama attended separate meetings with Senate Democrats and Republicans in which he previewed his speech.
A bipartisan group of senators -- some of whom support intervention -- are working on an alternative that would require Syria to allow a United Nations team to remove chemical weapons within a certain time period, perhaps 45 to 60 days. If Syria doesn't comply, Obama would have the authority to launch military strikes.
Obama also spoke amid rising opposition in the public and in Congress to idea of a military strike against Syria.
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Tuesday finds that nearly 60% of Americans want their member of Congress to oppose the use of military force in Syria.

Best response to the whole kerfuffle ever! <3
I agree with Kachunk – we should all be nice to each other.
Also, while I absolutely love and adore the noir comic, I have to admit I've been missing these ones too!

It makes sense that Kachunk smells like a wet kodo, as he's wearing "Wet Kodo by Calvin Klein".

Father to run Pittsburgh Marathon blindfolded for daughter
UPDATED 8:48 AM MDT Apr 23, 2013Running a marathon is tough enough. Doing so blindfolded for 26.2 miles is an even greater challenge, but that's exactly what Mike Bruno plans to take on in honor of his daughter during the Pittsburgh Marathon.

About Sahel Regional
Significant chronic vulnerability in the Sahel has taken hold as a result of a combination of factors, including poverty, marginalization, weak governance, low rainfall, population pressure and high population growth, food price volatility, and climate variability.
In 2011, irregular rainfall combined with civil conflict, high food prices and shocks such as locust infestation rendered more than 18 million people food insecure, according to FAO.
In an effort to move beyond just addressing the symptoms of these factors, the Sahel Joint Planning Cell (JPC) was formed to bring together the expertise of both USAID humanitarian assistance and development assistance actors in finding innovative and collaborative ways to build resilience among vulnerable populations in the Sahel.

FFF2012 - Broncos & Trucks
« Back to ArticleArticle Summary
For those not afraid of heights, we have photos of Broncos, F150s and even higher trucks. As mentioned before in our previous article, the 27th Annual Fabulous Fords Forever (FFF) show in Buena Park is big! How big? Just about 1,900 Fords rolled into the parking lot of Knott's Berry farm and it was heaven for Ford owners.

What is with the linkage of the Falklands to Argentina? Its NOT Argentine territory.
Same with Gibraltar and Spain ... Gibraltar is NOT Spanish.
I think they're suggesting you're going to lose them soon.

What is with the linkage of the Falklands to Argentina? Its NOT Argentine territory.
Same with Gibraltar and Spain ... Gibraltar is NOT Spanish.
I think they're suggesting you're going to lose them soon.
and Saint Pierre and Miquelon?
Saint Pierre and Miquelon has the status of a French "Overseas Collectivity", and as such is apparently considered self-governing (in particular it has both a local government and representatives to the French parliament).
I'm sure there was point to the article but it escapes me. Who's complaining having been to the Falklands a number of times they have O desire to be part of Argentina
Hmmmm... And those people expelled from Chagos Islands don't desire to be part of UK or be in other place different from their home...
It was placed in far better use
how about kaliningrad to chukotka? and all of it through land
French Polynesia, American Samoa? Your list seems either incomplete or the definition of "non self governing" a bit fuzzy
The definition is fuzzy. Otherwise, Pago Pago is up there.
American Samoa probably does belong there, as the inhabitants are "American nationals", but not "American citizens". Only American territory where this still applies.
Guam is an odd inclusion: why not Northern Marianas as well?
My recollection though is that the list does face political influences by UN member states, which is one reason why Puerto Rico was taken off. New Caledonia is an odd choice to still be on the list: like other French overseas areas, it has reps in the National Assembly, but it's probably still on the list as it is supposed to have a referendum on independence next year.
Of course, Tokelau had something similar a few years back and voted to keep their current status, so ironically that non-self governing territory voted to stay that way in democratic elections.
Interesting, since the people of Guam, N. Marianas and Puerto Rico are US citizens.
I heard there was a court case about that Samoan exception (which I guess justifies having it on this list). Seems like a blatant violation of the 14th amendment:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside"
But I don't know much about American Samoa.
Puerto Rico on the other hand is a commonwealth, as well as N. Mariana, validated by referendums (in the case of Puerto Rico, multiple ones).
Both of these polities have local, democratic, republican form of self government, as well as Guam. None of them should be on the list in my opinion.
Well the trick is that the Constitution does not inherently apply to insular territories, per the Supreme Court ruling Downes v. Bidwell. The insular areas are "unincorporated territories", rather than "incorporated", and are therefore not legally considered integral parts of the US. The fact that the other territories' residents are US citizens has to do with them being granted these rights by Congress under various acts over the years.
Also, interestingly enough, no US citizen who is a resident of these territories can vote in Presidential elections, yet US citizens residing anywhere else can vote, because they can claim their last US state residence as their current place of voting (via absentee ballot). This means that people can and literally have voted for President in outer space, but if a New Yorker moves permanently to a condo in Puerto Rico or USVI, they lose their voting rights in the Presidential election.
My understanding is the Constitution was meant to apply everywhere. The 14th amendment is clear about that.
I noticed the date of Downes v. Bidwell was 1901, not too long after Plessy vs Ferguson.
When the Supreme court undertook serious activism to avoid being able to read and follow the original intent of the 14th amendment.
I don't think that ruling holds much water.
Not sure if the concept of legal residence is too weird. No one's legal residence is in outerspace. Personally I think Puerto Rico should be a state, as well as Guam and N. Mariana. I think DC should have the right to call on the congress for grievances - a special provocatio being a federal district and still under the care of the Congress.
Puerto Rico is still colony and an invaded in fact.
Who is colonizing whom though? There are more stateside descendents and member of the Puerto Rican community than people living in Puerto Rico.
Seems the independence vote is tiny, less than 10%, while status quo and pro-state constituencies are considerably larger on the island.
And they have been able to express their views through democratic elections and representative government. Isn't that the case?
The US would have no problem with them voting for independence and would be happy to see them go they are nothing but a drain on the US taxpayers
The US would have no problem with them voting for independence and would be happy to see them go they are nothing but a drain on the US taxpayers
Just like Hawaii is "still colony and an invaded [sic]."
Odd that the French islands of St. Pierre and Michelon of the coast of Newfoundland were not included.
They're an overseas collectivity, which means that they have an autonomous lawmaking and domestic policy ability while also having a rep in the National Assembly. It's the same deal as St. Barts, St. Martin, Wallis and Futuna, and French Polynesia (although that is an "overseas country", so it has a bit more powers).
French were quite successful in picking some of the most beautiful islands on Earth.
How about (part of) the oldest colony- Northern Ireland?
Not Wales? ;-0
That's like saying England is a colony of Flensburg. Ancient history.
You should add Diego Garcia to that list. Diego Garcia is Mauritius territory and is occupied by Britain and is currently leased to the US. The rent rightly belongs to Mauritius.
Well Diego Garcia has been British territory since the Napoleonic Wars.
I find it hard to believe that fact of sovereignty could be contested, especially since compensation had been paid too (willing or not).
Not much different than people being compensated under eminent domain, for a highway going through their property.
How long has Mauritius been around as an independent, sovereign country?
She became independant on March 12th, 1968.
OK, so someone ran a place since 1815, exercised sovereignty in 1965, in what now soemed to comply with the equivalent of the principles of eminent domain and/or just compensation.
But a country that was not even around then officially with full sovereignty is claiming it?
Even though effective control, treaty and what not supports the British?
Hmm, seems chronology, facts on the ground and the letter of international law is a bit of a witch there for Mauritius.
A little surprised that Greenland (Denmark) and Curacao (Holland) aren't on the list. They must be like the French territories, and be classed as part of the home nation.
Although - would that mean they're part of the EU? Or are they like the Canaries and the Channel Islands - officially part of an EU member state, while not being a part of the EU themselves...
You have it all wrong. Kingdoms of Denmark and Netherlands are all formed by equivalent parts. For example, you have separate, but equal entities which form Kingdom of Netherlands: Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao and SM. Curacao is not part of the Netherlands but part of Kingdom of Netherlands, an equal partner inside this union. Why would a partner be on the UN list? That's the reason why they can opt out of EU.
Canaries are full members of EU, just like French DOMs. They are not equal partners but part of larger entity. Channel islands are not part of EU member state but part of British Crown Dependencies which is not a member of EU.
Greenland is a self governing entity that is voting itself more powers: I think after the last referendum Denmark basically provides foreign relations, defense and perhaps foots them some money, but otherwise they have a lot of say over domestic policies. They also opted out of the EU (or EEC at the time, I think it was 1986).
Can Greenland still send goods duty free to Denmark proper? And can those goods then be forwarded onto other destinations in the EU free of duties?
Moreover, can people contract out services located/executed in Greenland (say tours) in Denmark proper free of any tariff?
I am not an expert on EU tariffs on services, but it looks like the short answer to these questions is yes, because Greenland has an association agreement with the EU and thus is part of the EU Common External tariff structure. It also gets EU money, but disagrees with the EU over fishing and related industries like seal fur. So they basically sound like something similar to Switzerland or Norway in their relationship with the EU.
I take it they get to get around regulations from the EU on sending variou seal parts to other parts of the world?
Like your mentioned seal furs to the Garment District in NY (if it is still there)?
Other seal parts to China?
Colonial plebiscites are slanted when the colonists are from original colonial stock. They are a cop out for the colonial powers. For instance, the British Government pays lip service to the inhabitants of the Falklands/Malvinas as being the ones who will decide their fate while in the Indian Ocean the inhabitants of Diego Garcia, another British possession, were unceremoniously removed wholesale from their homes because the US evinced an interest in locating one of its many military bases there and the British were only to happy to oblige. So much for inhabitants' wishes.
Well the British actually reached out to the Argentines in the 1950s and 1960s to considering having the issue arbitrated. The Argentines declined.
Subsequently you had a dictatorship attempt to seize the islands by force, and Britain expelled them. A war, successful defense of islands with a population creates historical factors that the influence future discussions on the status of the islands.
Regardless, people live there and have a right to self determination by the current standards.
Conversely, British sovereignty of Diego Garcia wasn't questioned in 1965 - They controlled the place since 1815 or so. Their actions don't appear much different than any exercise of eminent domain, after they had provided compensation to all concerned partie.
Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, Falklands, and now Diego Garcia are strategic assets:
They are Unsinkable Air Craft Carriers in the middle of geographic critical theaters.
Similar to the isles of Great Britain was in WWII which halted Hitler's expansion.
Hard to invade.
Easy to defend.
And ruling the skies is the new tactical high ground for artillery.
Diego Garcia is the busiest airbase in the War on Terror--critical to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz.
Guam has more B-52s than any other airbase for the last 50 years.
Bahrain has a huge US Navy arsenal itching for Iranian action.
Add Gibraltar, Oman, Singapore, Panama, and Hong Kong for their strategic position at critical global trade chokepoints--though they may be a peninsular.
All former British Colonies.
All critical to global trade.
All free wheeling economies thriving today.
Some islands may not be blessed with land, labor or capital,
but as in real estate, Location may be everything.
Panama never became a colony of Britain, although I think the Scots attempted to set up one there at the end of the 17th century.
It went badly, bankrupted many up there, an made it easy for the English to push the Act of Union.
Panama did essentially become a colony of the US two hudred yaes later, with the canal zone though.
French Guiana??? It's in South America - a lot father away from France than Bermuda is from the UK.
French Guiana is not a colony. It is classified as an "overseas region." As is Martinique and Guadeloupe.
French Guiana is IN France, albeit a long way from Paris ;-)
Your treatment of Puerto Rico is jarring. PR does not have its own sovereignty or share sovereignty with the US. PR's status, no matter what the words, is the same as Guam's which is on your list. In case the author is being infulenced by the manipulated referendum last year, bear in mind that only 46% of votes cast ballots for statehood and a pro-autonomy government was elected at the same time. That's not integration. PR should be on the list.
Guam is a territory. PR a commonwealth. Not equal in status (maybe in situation?). The islands to the north of Guam (The Northern Mariana Islands) *are* a commonwealth like PR. Guam is not part of that commonwealth. So to the UN: Guam - on the list; PR and CNMI not. It's their logic for picking, not mine...so complain to the UN if you don't like it.
PR should be set-free of the U.S. and apply for U.N. membership. I gasp at the prospect that PR would become another State of the Union. PR is a vestage of an insane imperialistic war. I would not fight for PR nor would I send my neighbors' children to do so.
"PR should be set-free of the U.S."
-Seems that is a matter for the citizens there to decide. And to date, pro-commonwealth and pro-state constituencies seem to outnumber independence advocates in overwhelmingly numbers.
In the last vote on its status, only about 5% voted for full independence.
There are also more stateside Puerto Ricans than people living in Puerto Rico (4.6 million to 3.6 million), which probably gives pause to those considering independence.
I think you are right about the Spanish American War and subseqent conflicts (in the Philippines). Truly stupid and wasteful.
As for the potential for conflict requiring US military operation, not sure that is likely any time soon, considering the US naval presence. If in the unlikely event, things went down hill so bad internally to lead to violent, sustained disturbances, I somehow suspect the US would still get drawn in regardless of status.
I'm pretty sure that by 2020 Puerto Rico will be the 51st State of the United States of America.
One question is, what is the overall political posture of Guam and N. Marianas? I recall the latter had utilized the services of Republican lobbyists, and Saipan is a big contributor of recruits for the army, and Guam benefits from a growing, longstnding military presence.
I mention this, because if there is a conservative electorate (or more Republican friendly one) in Guam and N. Marinas (GnM for short), then there would be less friction for the US Government to sign off on Puerto Rico.
Nevermind Puerto Rico has the NPP more oriented towards Republcan - seems it comes down to perception.
In my view, I think they should be let in as states regardless of political environment, and I am a Republican.
Dude, PR is a territory governed under the territories clause of the US constitution. This is settled law reaffirmed repeatedly by the Supreme Court. The fact that anyone calls this place "commonwealth" and that one "territory" means exactly nothing. Neither place has a vote in Congress or a vote for president. Both have local government. Neither one can say no to any law passed by the US Congress. The fact that the UN acquiesced to the US (when it won't for other countries) does not change the facts.
I think complaining about Article IV section 3 of the constitution gets to be a bit of a stretch.
Otherwise, as you mentioned already, elections and referendums have been held. And the current governor is PDP, and pro-commonwealth/autonomy, winning power in a competitive election. That sound like self-governance to me.
Otherwise the 44% for statehood for all ballots of all stripes (including ballots) is not bad, on something like 77% turnout.
I think prior referendums the vote was like 46 percent on 70% plus turnout.
I noticed the independence folks won neglible votes.
Personally I think a pro-state vote should be 60% of all ballots cast, on a historically normal turnout.
It's not the Economist's "treatment", it's the way the list was written by the UN. The US petitioned to have Puerto Rico removed in the 1950s, and the UN agreed. It's politics, but there you go.
In a reverse move, the UN pulled off New Caledonia in the 1940s and then re-added it in the 1980s because of the conflict going on there, despite the fact that New Caledonia has a similar type of government to the "overseas collectivities" which are not on the list.
What about the French islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon, off the coast of Newfoundland?
"French Guyana" is from the past when France tried to gain territory. They did try to take Rio and Belém. And were killed. "Guyana" is the symbol of a sad past.. and a "nervous" future!
Why don't we see "Beijing-Lhasa 3700km" in this list?
All Beijing - Urumqi to that list..I am appalled that TE is afraid of "50 cent party" commentators..
Blame the United Nations, not the TE, they are the ones who do not include Tibet or Xinjiang as "non-self governing territories".
It seems a slightly incomplete list without the French "Overseas departments".
I know they are officially part of soverign France etc, but this means more to the French than to outside observers. They are the residue of colonial expansion and maritime power just like the British territories listed.
I thought the overseas departments send deputies/representatives to the natonal assembly and Senate?
Also thought they enjoyed some form of local self-government?
If both situations hold true, can't see how they could be on this list.
5 of France' overseas territories are "overseas departments-regions" and yes, the people of these 4 islands (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Mayotte, Réunion) plus Guyane, have democratic representation in Paris, both in the National assembly and the senate. These territories are considered as full parts of France, and thus are ruled exactly as France' mainland departments and regions.
But you also have "overseas territories", such as Saint Pierre et Miquelon, French Polynésia, Nouvelle Calédonie, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélémy and Wallis & Futuna: these territories are fully part of the French republic but benefit from a more autonomous, local government
Local self government? All of the territories listed have local self government, that is only sensible. My point is that the French cleverly signed a bit of paper during the period of decolonisation making the more irrelevant and far flung of their remaining colonies which hadn't rebelled, rather pompously, an integral part of France. Despite my tone I don't condemn France for this, maybe the UK should have done the same thing.
My issue really is with the UN classification, it is ludicrous to put bermuda in this category and not French guinea.
To Michael Dunne who wrote:

The earliest global Empire, Portugal, both when she was a democracy (roughly 1830 to 1928) and a dictatorship (1930 to 1974) had local elected representatives from her colonies.
Look at them now.
And add one and and a half curiosity
Rio de Janeiro in Brazil was Portugal's capital from 1808 to roughly 1822.
Timor Leste (East Timor ) is about as far from Lisbon as New Caledonia is from Paris. She is now a proud independent nation we all have in our hearts, with probably more Nobel Peace prize winners per capita than any other nation in the world.
I am aware of the history of various Portuguese possessions. Even been to Brazil a bit, and got to appreciate East Timor products in Bali after its independence (merchants referenced that to justify higher prices).
However, I was responding to the original poster's queston of why more French regions were not on the UN list there.
Seems France has made a number of adequate, and reasonably democratic governing relationships.
to Michael Dunne who wrote

She did and she should be praised for that.
The object of my reply, definitely not a disagreement with you, was twofold:
1- The fact that traditionally or for a long time, colonies are represented in the institutions of the mother country, is not a guarantee colonies will not seek independence.
2- Try to widen History and Geographic knowledge that at one time was widespread but is now sorely lacking.
As an example, just look at a recent excellent article in this magazine about the Paraguay War in which the author thought it was not well known. It is, except where teaching of geography and history is very poor.
Given the modern tendency to stereotype, I'm not Paraguayan, Uruguayan, Argentinian nor Brazilian. Just a run of the mill European in my eighties.
I thought the French had at times, amidst enthusiasm about the universal rights of man, given representation to certain overseas colonies.
Like Senegal comes to mind, say after 1848 (of course, Napoleon the II took rights away, then they were given back again)
How is Bermuda on their? It has its own parliamentary government, with regular elections, constitution, responsible government?
Having been going there for decades, pretty shocked to see that on there.
Funny list overall. At least with the case of Guam and Bermuda, you have pieces of real estate that probably enjoy far greater freedoms and political stability and democrcy than most people in the world, but still get put on this list.
Many of the places listed have their own parliaments etc. However, Bermuda is still considered a UK overseas territory:
They've basically taken a list of overseas territories of various countries (that don't have representation in the countries' governments) and plotted how far away the entities are from their respective capitals. As you've pointed out, many have a significant amount of local authority, but none are sovereign states.
You seem to be taking offence at the list, but I don't think the Economist means to be political about it - they're just pointing out the scattered vestiges of empire. Many of these places have chosen to remain in the relationship they're in with their "mother country".
I realize it is not the Economist's list. I find the list lacking in credibility though when it cites Bermuda,which probably has sufficient institutions, arrangements and political culture to be considered self-governing.
I have been there more times than I can count on my hands and feet, and have relatives that live there.
To a lesser extent, Guam comes off as a strange addition to the list, considering the regular elections, institutions and political culture there. Now it is a territory, so I could see it getting dinged some for that, versus being a commonwealth, or state or associated state.
However, facts on the ground seem to contradict the pretense of that list.
I think you're right that they shouldn't use "non-self-governing", since some of the states listed, like Bermuda, more or less govern themselves. But ultimately these are territories, not countries - Bermuda does not have a seat in the UN and doesn't control its own "foreign affairs, defence, internal security or police" and it can't change its constitution without UK approval. The UK can step in if it feels the requirements of "good government" are not being met. Bermuda also doesn't have representation in the British parliament, along with all the other overseas territories. In that way these little outposts are the last examples of real colonialism left in the world; I think that's all they're trying to highlight. That's probably why they leave out Crown Dependencies like the Isle of Mann - although they have similar limitations on sovereignty, those possessions date back to before the "age of empire" (and are much closer to home).
But does self-governance mean having a seat at the UN?
I don't think so.
And does having an arrangement resembling a protectorate mean you are not a self-governing territory?
I suspect not. Seems more like such cases implied impaired sovereignty instead, but have little relevance to domestic governance, which the term "self-governance" seems to focus on.
Otherwise, not to nitpick, but I thought Bermuda does have its own police service and for some time.`
The bit about not having a seat in Parliament is noted, and frankly surprised the British don't give the one in this day of the jet.
I think protectorate is a good description of it; some local powers but other powers remaining in the hands of a colonial government far away.
Bermuda does have its own police service, but it's under the nominal control of the governor, appointed by the queen.

This is the page for the triage part of the KDE PIM Bug Weeks 1 which takes place from Sunday, November 23rd 2008 to Saturday, December 6th, but feel free to start early. The aim of these bug weeks is to organize as many of the KDE PIM applications' bugs as possible. Our targets for triage are bugs listed in bugs.kde.org under the products kmail and korganizer.
The goal of this bug-day is to check if bugs filed against older version of KDE PIM still apply to the latest version. If a bug is still reproducible our aim will be to find simple step-by-step solutions and/or testcases so it gets easier for the KDE PIM developers to find and fix those bugs.
You don't need any programming experience to help out with Triaging, but you will need a recent version of KDE, either svn trunk or the latest release from KDE 4.1. Information on setting up KDE from trunk can be found here. If you're having trouble installing KDE, feel free to drop by on #kde-bugs early to get some help.
First of all, put your name and the version of KDE PIM you are testing with into the Sign-in section. Then read the descriptions of the various sections to file bugs in carefully.
Some bugs might have documents that expose the bugs attached, for some bugs you might be able to create documents that show the buggy behaviour. In both cases we have to add the testcase keyword. If you lack permissions to do so, additionally add the bug to the "Needs testcase keyword" section.
If something has no clear instructions on how to reproduce it, or has little useful information, add a comment asking the reporter for more detail. Then list it in the bugs awaiting feedback section. Be polite, we want to be nice to our bug reporters!
Prioritizing is good. If a major feature doesn't work, that is important. Let's keep track of them.
Please list bugs here to get a second opinion before making the change in bugzilla. This also gives a record of what we've done for the developers to check.
After adding triaged bugs on this page, you should keep an eye on their bugzilla status. Add yourself on the CC field in bugzilla to be informed about updates. When a bug is closed on bugzilla, it should be updated on this page.
You can use the tag <s>...</s> to mark a bug as done like this.
Tip |
Please be sure to sign every bug or comment you add to this page with your irc nickname. You can use the wiki markup ~~~ to insert your wiki username automatically (but only do this if it is the same as your IRC nickname, otherwise write your IRC nickname in by hand). |
Tell developers what you are testing with. (If you expect to upgrade between now and BugDay, put what version you are using now next to the bugs/comments that you put on this page.)
Please give distro/version or SVN branch/trunk with revision below (or just beta2 if you're using that):
IRC Nickname | KDE PIM version used for testing | |
Lemma | svn trunk r887937 | |
jtamate | opensuse 4.1.73 | |
gkiagia | svn trunk r884939 | |
FiNeX | svn trunk >= r888281 | |
dtritscher | Kubuntu KDE Beta2 4.1.85 |
Please choose a batch that is not already taken and then query bugs.kde.org for all bugs in that batch. Please mark you irc nickname in the table below to show which month's bugs you are working on to avoid duplication of effort.
If you have to leave before you can finish your batch, please put the last bug you triaged as well as if you're going to finish triaging in the table so others will know where you left off.
The bugs presented on this page are only a selection of the bugs that need triaging. If you run out of bugs to do, please tell on IRC and we'll provide new batches.
Warning |
With these more recent bugs, if the report has been looked at by a developer (i.e. they cc'd themself or commented on it or posted a patch), and it seems like the issue is fixed, BUT the developer didn't close it, make sure the bug really can be closed. Often it can't. |

If you put a bug into this section, please be sure you additionally put it into the appropriate Completed Bugs section.
Bugs that need the triaged keyword adding to them should be listed here.
Bugs needing the testcase keyword added to them should be listed here.
Bugs should be listed here if their version field is invalid. For rules about which bugs need their version field changed, please check above.
Bugs that seem to be labelled incorrectly and need a product/component change should go here.
Below lists the various sections for completed bugs. This aids everyone in double checking each other's work. In addition this allows those of us that don't have bugzilla permissions to list bugs so that the folks with the permissions can follow up.
Bugs that are no longer reproducible and have been fixed already go into this section. After they are double-checked they can be closed.
If the bug is still reproducible and has a test-case attached, put it here.
If the bug has proper step-by-step instructions to reproduce the bug it should go here. Actually most reproducible bugs should end up in this section.
Bugs which are no longer valid go here. Please provide the reason why you think this bug is invalid.
Duplicates (or possible duplicates) found should be placed here along with a link to the bug you think it is a duplicate of.
Sometimes there are bugs that are actually wishlist items. If you think a bug is not really a bug please put it here.
Bugs that require particular software or hardware that you don't have available should be listed here with a description of the non-standard requirement.
Bugs requiring non-English locales should be listed here, along with the locale they require.
Add bugs here if you need to find out whether the observed behaviour is inteded, or if there's some other reason that it would be useful for a KDE PIM developer to take a look at. Make sure you indicate why the bug needs attention. A second common reason to put a bug here is if it has already been heavily commented on by the application's developer. In the latter case please only add bugs you can reproduce.
Some bugs are hard to reproduce because the reporter left out some explanation you'd need. In that case we have no other means but to request some more information. Bugs for which feedback from the reporter has been requested should be put here. They should be revisited in 30 days to see if there's any response. If there's feedback

Special election underway; polling places consolidated
The special election to fill the vacancy of the late state Senator Dave Cox is now underway. Sample ballots have been mailed and permanent vote-by-mail ballots were sent Monday, Dec. 6.
The election will be a "consolidated" one with just one polling place — the county courthouse. Voters may vote by mail or at the courthouse. Other regular polling places will not be used.
Voters who are not permanent vote-by-mail voters need to pick up a ballot at the Office of the County Clerk Elections Division, in room 102 of the courthouse in Quincy, during regular business hours, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Voters can vote immediately, or take the ballot with them and return it at a later date.
They may also vote on Election Day, Jan. 4, 2011, at the clerk's office between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Voters can request a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to them using the form on the sample ballot.
The form is also available on the county website, countyofplumas.com. Click on "Department," then "County Clerk-Recorder," then "Elections Division" and finally on "vote-by-mail ballot application."
Voters can get more information by calling 283-6256.
