The NYC-based duo Gatekeeper are always a bound ahead, producing music so informed, it's almost cynical, but so pure in intention, it's not. Whether it's creating a multi-platform video-game like experience to accompany their last album, Exo, or splitting off to make mind-blowing (ironic?) efforts within genres previously untouched by hipster Brooklyn, like ADR's uncategorizable Chunky Monkey (watch out, it uses scatting and pan flutes, the least/most cool sounds out there) or Lauren Devine's "Luv U Far," their aesthetic is a hard one to keep your finger on. That's because it's always moving forward, or in some cases darting backwards, to sweep up all the forgotten and uncool soundtracks of the past in order to refurbish and re-present them to the painfully in-touch. Basically, when the kids ask for a challenge, Gatekeeper knows how to hand one out (hope you studied for the pop quiz—there will be no re-takes).
The outrageous thing about this group is their competence in every aspect of music-making—they produce, they DJ, and if they feel it would benefit their sound, they teach themselves to play new instruments. Here, with "Imperatrix," we're privy to a sampling of their upcoming album, Young Chronos, available November 11th "directly in the form of an official Piratebay torrent and 300 USB tokens on Lorenzo Senni's Presto?! imprint," as their press release states. And btw, that press release is just another example of how above most of the world's heads Gatekeeper are (full copy below).

Acyclovir for Encephalitis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Acyclovir prevents herpes simplex virus—the virus that causes chickenpox, cold sores, and genital herpes—from reproducing. The medicine is given in a vein (intravenous, or IV) when used to treat encephalitis caused by these viruses.
Why It Is Used
Acyclovir is used to treat encephalitis caused by herpes simplex and varicella-zoster.
How Well It Works
To improve the chance of survival from herpes simplex encephalitis, acyclovir should be given as soon as the illness is diagnosed. The death rate from this form of encephalitis is less than 30% when prompt treatment is given, compared with 70% to 80% without treatment.1
The main things that affect the success of treatment include the age of the person and his or her level of consciousness. Confusion and disorientation (altered consciousness) are signs of encephalitis. People younger than age 30 and those who have a normal level of consciousness have better results than people older than 30 and those who have altered consciousness.2
People who get treatment with acyclovir immediately (within 4 days of symptoms) do better than people who wait longer for treatment.3 But even with treatment, serious mental and physical impairments can occur, such as paralysis, seizures, or hearing loss.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Pain, swelling, or redness where you got the shot.
- Belly or stomach pain.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Other antiviral medicines that may be used to treat encephalitis include valacyclovir, penciclovir, and famciclovir.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shraeder~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So I herd u liek Mudkipz...So do I!FC: 4742-5645-2960
Friend Safari: Aipom, Audino, and DITTO!
However Shraeder I did say that it doesn't have to be Samurott, but yes Ash does need a big powerful water type Pokémon, who can seriously kick some rear end. Sadly that can apply to starter Pokémon.
However I might be willing to go as far as to say if there was a 600 BST water/dragon Ash was able to get that looked menacing, I can see the argument.
BUT even still a starter is it's own category over a non starter. Starter's just have more value than a non starter.
So sure Ash could have that hypothetical water/dragon 600 BST future Pokémon, but it would just be a regular non starter Pokémon. Sure it could along the lines of Krookodile, Glalie, Gliscor, Heracross, etc, etc, etc. But still it's quite as comparable to Charizard, Infernape, Sceptile, Torterra (despite it's horrible track record, it's still an impressive Pokémon on looks alone, just not from battles).
Congrats you beat me. Well done.....oh yeah a Grass/Dragon, a fire/Dragon, a water/dragon with a 600 BST starter trio would be AWESOME!!!!!! Too bad it won't happen, however at least not with a 600 BST total, but perhaps we could get a elemental trio part dragon starter trio, even with a max of 520 BST.The 600 BST Water/Dragon is a starter Pokémon

Friend Safari: Aipom, Audino, and DITTO!
Hoenn and Sinnoh were written with the idea of having powerful starters, and those just happen to be the times where Satoshi didn't own any water starters. Honestly, the only change to the starter trio I want to see is Tsutarja evolving into Janovy. They've been around for so long that I just want a single evolution for the sake of change. I don't really care about any specific Pokémon reaching its final form.
Just evolve that fail known as Palpitoad and Ash will have his fully evolved water pokemon. Sheesh!
I don't get the point in keeping certain Pokémon types, low in numbers. I don't understand what's so bad about having 100s of dragon Pokémon, it just means more to choose from, and doesn't make them any less valuable. A Pokémon's stats and movepool and slightly it's typing determines a Pokémon's worth, not solely it's typing.
But now I realize this completely irrelevant to this thread, my bad, moderators. (please respond to this by PM, please)
I seriously hope Snivy knocks out Samurott (if she battles), and Samurott doesn't get any wins. Not because I dislike Samurott, or specifically Kotetsu's Samurott, but because it would be awesome to just straight out take a Pokémon like that at full strength. Oh and attract can be used to do some damage, but I don't want Samurott to be infatuated with the final hit.
Oh and...no I highly doubt they're going to make Kotetsu's Samurott a female, Kotetsu's Hydreigon has more of a chance to be female than Samurott.
Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIV...iwVdSiQ/videos
Boring 'Next Pokemon Thread' discussion is getting boring..
So I wonder how many Pokemon Hydreigon will take out during its rampage, before either Krookodile knocks it down or something else evolves and saves the day. I'm going with two or three, including Pignite obviously.

Satoshi has a water poke powerhouse?! This is the lulziest thing I've heard today!
Guys! We can't compare Gamagaru to Gokazaru for example. A powerhouse has so much more to it than sheer force!!
What if Satoshi was to assemble his strongest team? what water poke would he choose?! and for those who think that Satoshi needs no "specific" poke because he can do whatever he want as long as the writers want it..mmmm well, just because the writers can do something, that doesn't necessarily mean it is ok to do

Rick Kimbrel
The one consistent thing that UCLA has over the past two seasons has been the defense. There was a reason why the first order of business for Rick Neuheisel when he took over the head coach duties was retain the services of defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker.When the previous regime hired Walker the fan base wasn't sure what to expect out of him. He came to the Bruins with the dubious distinction of being Pete Carroll's first hire at USC.It didn't take long until UCLA fans embraced Walker. It was Walker's stated goal that UCLA will be a team that plays great defense and that is something the Bruins didn't do consistently for a very long time.Walker's work at UCLA has helped elevate him among his peers as a coach with one of the best defensive minds, if not the best, in college football.Fast forward to the spring of 2008 and though Walker's crew was hit hard by graduation, this unit could be the group yet, led by two defensive tackles who will be a load for most UCLA's opposition in senior Brigham Harwell and sophomore Brian Price. ...More...

The Fast and the Furious (film series)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Fast and the Furious film series is an early twenty-first century series of street racing films produced by powerful idiot-flick conglomerate, Universal Studios. The first film, The Fast and the Furious was directed by Rob Cohen in 2001, and has since spawned an uncountable number of sequels that have little in common besides the odd recurring character to tie the films together into one franchise. There are currently plans to produce even more sequels in the future.
The Design and the Development
In 2001, Rob Cohen was watching the film Point Break with his girlfriend, a rare Keanu Reeves fan. While she was fantasizing about being with The One, Cohen was the one being bored out of his mind. Remembering his advice from his teacher at Film School, he decided to be constructive and thought about what he would have done to make the film better. After spending fifteen minutes analysing the film, he laid down a set of points that would comprise the greatest
money-making movie-making formula ever designed.
The Theme and the Formula
The Plot and the Purpose
To begin with, an FBI Agent must go undercover to apprehend a gang of
surfers Street Racers who are committing robberies on the side. The FBI Agent grows to like their way of life, becoming close friends with their enigmatic leader, and falling in love with his ex-girlfriend sister. He must then try to save them after their last robbery fails and they are either arrested or killed. The FBI Agent allows the gang's leader one last race, before deciding to let him go anyway.
The plot in any film following the original may be improvised by actors reading sloppily prepared cue cards. The one and only theme that must be adhered to is cars, violence, girls, and cars.
The Dumb and the Dialogue
Rob Cohen is highly wary of any dialogue wasting time that could be used for a good race scene. Consequently, any FF dialogue should be limited to the bare essentials of screenwriting. Well-used metaphors, puns, slang, insults, swear words and the most common of monosyllabic dialogue are all highly recommended filler for any scenes between races. Universal Studios has permitted us to use several examples, partly because of fair use laws, partly because a 10-year old could have just made them up and posted them here.
- Vince: What's up with this fool? What is he, sandwich crazy?
- Leon: Nah, V. He ain't here for the food, dog. He's tryin' to get in Mia's Pants.
Rather than leave it to Vince's highly sophisticated metaphor to convey the situation to the audience, Leon chooses to take Vince literally, as though he truly believed that Brian was obsessed with the sub-par tuna sandwiches. Leon then steps in to correct his friend's deduction with a very blunt, but ultimately accurate, assessment of the situation.
- Agent Bilkins: You want time, buy the magazine. We don't have time.
It is also debatable whether they have People either.
- Dom: You can have any brew you want, as long as it's a Corona.
Comedy at its finest, if Dominic has only stocked his house with Corona. If there's a six-pack of Heineken in the fridge, then he's just a greedy bastard.
The Cardboard and the Characters
Whilst also being mindful of the runtime of any dialogue scenes, Cohen is still a careful and invested director and, having helmed such iconic gems like Dragonheart, xXx and an episode of Miami Vice, understands that characterisation is also somewhat important to a film. Therefore, stock characters and stereotypes should be used so that the audience can understand their personalities easier, subsequently making it less taxing for them to pay attention whilst waiting for the next race scene.
The FBI Agent
- Despite an undercover agent being a highly complex character, Thomas decided to also use the somewhat more accessible stereotype of the Wigger. The whafrican-whamerican would fit perfectly with the redundant slang dialogue and hip hip culture that pervaded the film's socio-economic context. Consequently, the FBI Agent will call anyone "dude", even if they are clearly not one. Everyone shall be called "bro", even if it is clear they should not be referred to in that manner. This shall be highlighted when Barack Obama makes his cameo appearance in the next FF installment.
- Dom: What are you smiling about?
- Brian: Dude, I almost had you.
- Dom: You almost had me? You never had me. You never had your car.
- It is true, that Brian O'Connor never had Vin Diesel. It is assumable that is why he said, "Almost".
- Dom: Brian Earl Spilner. Sounds like a serial killer name. Is that what you are?
- Brian: Nah, man.
- Note the excellent counter-argument made by Brian when he is accused of being similar to John Wayne Gacy.
The Enigmatic Leader
- Arguably the greatest character Cohen has ever written, he wanted to have the character to be like a car himself. His name needed to have connotations of speed and anger. One could almost say it should be a name that is fast and furious... sorry. Anyway, with this in mind, he decided to name the lead character and anti-hero: Vin Dies... no... wait, I mean... ermmm... hold on, let me check Wikipedia... ah yes. Cohen decided to name him Dominic Toretto, a highly cool and memorable name for an entirely memorable character.
- With a name like Dominic Toretto, Cohen knew that he needed to find the right actor. He accomplished this by searching for the biggest man he could find, naturally hiring Vin Diesel. Cohen knew instantly that Diesel would be able to rise to the challenge of the role, bringing some unique subtleties and nuances to his performance, such as standing still in front of a camera whilst flexing his pectorals. A tank top was added digitally to many of Diesel's scenes so as not to portray him as a Calvin Klein model and detract from his hyper-masculine performance.
- Tanner: Not that I want to contradict Harry's fine judge of character, but Toretto did hard time for nearly beating a guy to death. He's got nitrous oxide in his blood and a gas tank for a brain. Do not turn your back on him.
- Here, the writers have cleverly used many extensive car metaphors and symbolism, creating an image of not a man, but an automechanical beast.
Anyone Else
- In future sequels, any required characters may be created from Rob Cohen's approved check-list of stereotypes. This list has only ever been ignored once, in the case of FF: Tokyo Drift where the director, Justin Lin decided to play a joke by having an inbred hillbilly redneck from Alabama to play the lead protagonist. Lin was heavily punished, and reunited the cast from the first movie in Fast and Furious to apologise for his misbehaviour.
- Hector: They call me Hector. I got a last name, too, but I can't pronounce it, so...
- Nuff said.
The Motors and the Materialism
The cars of FF are considered the most important part of any film, and are integral to viewer enjoyment, and therefore ticket sales, although not reviews. FF films are renowned globally for exhibiting some of the finest, most souped up, most pimped out, modern miracles of automobile innovation known to man. Indeed, some of the world's greatest street racers will have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into fixing up their rides to be featured in the film, while their eight kids back in the ghetto starve to death.
The Chicks and the Chauvinists
Coming a distant second to the engines (as most men will agree) are the Women. Each scene of an FF film should naturally be jam-packed with ho's, honeys, and high-beamed scantily-clad women performing the most provocative and sexually suggestive of acts, without actually showing anything that would earn higher than a 12A. To depict a strong, independent woman who is not objectified or defined by her relationship to the men surrounding her, is an action that goes against Rob Cohen's main directive. It is also a contradiction of the canon in the FF universe, in which Feminism never existed.
- Letty: Rraawrrrr. I smell [sniffs] skanks. Why don't you girls just pack it up before I leave tread marks on your face.
- Skank: OK.
"OK" is not exactly the normal female response to being called a skank.
The Reviews and the Reception
The relationship between critical reviews and box office sales is inversely proportional. The entire series has so far managed to amount $959,790,838, almost breaking $1 billion dollars. This would technically make Rob Cohen one of the most successful supervillains of all time, with society for once actually giving in to his highly unreasonable and unrealistic demands. It could alternatively be argued that it is our fault for going to watch FF movies in the first place, and encouraging a director who interprets the massive amounts of money we throw at him as an indication of wanting more. Either way, The Fast and the Furious franchise remains one of the most profitable film series of the decade.
The reviews, however, are on the polar opposite of the scales, with only the first film managing to achieve above 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Each sequel since then has languished around 30%, with the only mainstream critic giving them a positive review being Roger Ebert. However, he changed his stance after the 4th film was released and he bothered to sit through it awake, unlike the last three.
Fortunately, the FF series has been released mostly in capitalist societies, where revenue and not reviews decide whether a sequel is made. It appears that Vin Diesel and his maverick crew of talented actors will be around to grace our screens for years to come.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court is considering whether police must get a warrant before ordering a blood test on an unwilling drunken driving suspect.
Yesterday the justices heard arguments in a case involving a disputed blood test from Missouri. Police stopped a speeding, swerving car and the driver, who had two previous drunken-driving convictions, refused to submit to a breath test to measure the alcohol level in his body.
The justices appeared to struggle with whether the dissipation of alcohol in the blood over time is reason enough for police to call for a blood test without first getting a warrant.

TransFender is an automobile customization shop in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
There are 3 TransFender locations throughout San Andreas, with one in each major city:
Supported vehicles
Vehicles that can be modified at TransFender encompassed a limited but nevertheless large number of standard civilian road vehicles that are not classified as tuners (which can only be modified at Wheel Arch Angels garage in San Fierro) or lowriders (which can only be modified at Loco Low Co. in Los Santos). Motorcycles and bicycles, industrial vehicles and law enforcement vehicles are typically unacceptable.
Vehicles customizable at TransFender include the following:
The range of modifications available for vehicles at TransFender depend on the vehicle's model.
Basic options, including body colors, nitrous oxide systems, wheels, car stereos and hydraulics, are available for all vehicles. However, other groups of parts are only exclusive to certain classes of vehicles. Even so, the number of parts available for each option are usually limited to a select few, depending on the vehicle model. The "Exhaust" option is available for most road vehicles, but unavailable for the same vehicles deprived of body kit parts.
For a more detailed range of parts for each vehicle, see the vehicles' respectable pages.
The following lists a complete range of parts available for all vehicles at TransFender:
|Hood scoops
|Hood vents
|(Fog) lights
|Side skirts
|Car audio
Notes and trivia
- Changing color actually works the same as a Pay 'n' Spray visit (repair car and remove wanted level). However, the cost of each individual color change is consistently $150, 50% higher than a Pay 'n' Spray service, regardless of whether or not the car is damaged to begin with or the player has a wanted level.
- At the Las Venturas TransFender, all modifications except Color cost 20% more than at other TransFenders in San Andreas.
- There is a bug with the TransFender in Las Venturas. Driving a Moonbeam into the TransFender will allow you to modify the vehicle as normal, but once you exit the TransFender modification screen and attempt to leave, the vehicle will spawn on top of the garage but underneath the actual roof, making it impossible to drive the vehicle out and also trapping the player inside the TransFender. The only way to escape is for the player to kill themselves by damaging the Moonbeam enough to blow it up and kill the player, or re-loading the game's save file, or the game itself. Bug is not present in PC version.
- The TransFender name is a play on the word transgender, as further evidenced by the slogan "body swap shop" (a transgendered person might be seen as "swapping" his or her body for that of another gender, hence the moniker).
- Although it is possible to install fog lights on some cars, it is not possible for them function. Therefore they cannot turn on or off with the normal headlights
- A rare glitch allows you to control your car inside Mod garages including TransFender. This also occurs in Loco Low Co., and if you drive through garage door (for a good view, go to Nitro screen) you will enter the Blue Hell. 3-5 seconds later you will get a triple insane stunt. This glitch might not always work with TransFenders.

If you have even a passing interest in the use of typeface, and really who doesn't love to change the tone of their message with a carefully selected font - big shout out to Verdana!, you should make a point to checkout the fascinating 2007 documentary Helvetica. The film focuses on the typeface for which it is titled, the font celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007, and its now ubiquitous use worldwide. Major figures in the graphic design world share either their love or absolutely hate of helvetica, and the reasons behind these extreme reactions provides a launching point for examining the use of type in the modern world and the fascinating significance of that use.

- "Time to fry bigger fish, Mr. Teal. There's a rifle in the foliage to your right. Watch the woman standing on the balcony above the check-in desks. She will walk through the crowd and ask someone the time. You must kill that person, retrieve his briefcase and take it to the location taped under the phone."
- — Mr. Black.
Check Out At The Check In is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti from Mr. Black from a payphone inside the terminal of Escobar International Airport, Vice City.
Tommy goes to a payphone inside the EIA terminal, and Mr. Black informs he has left him a sniper rifle to assassinate a businessman with a briefcase. To help him, he tells him there is a woman standing above the check in desk who is going to speak with the man. Afterwards Tommy waits until the conversation is over, and kills the businessman and retrieves his briefcase. He then takes it to the Downtown Ammu-Nation as instructed, and the mission is complete.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get the sniper rifle to your right
- Watch the woman on the balcony, she will walk down the escalators and ask someone the time
- Once the conversation has finished kill the person she has spoke to, but do not kill her
- Once the target is dead retrive his briefcase and take it to Ammu-Nation in Downtown
- Keep your distance from the target! Use the distance bar in the upper right corner of the screen
- Get the briefcase
- Take the briefcase to Ammu-Nation in Downtown
Once you are done with the call, head to the sniper wait you must have patience because it will take a while, once she has reached the target snipe the man she is trading with, you will then get a wanted level. Quickly exit the airport and get in your vehicle (if you don't steal the closest one) and make a quick dash out of the place. Watch out cause you'll be hosting a two star wanted level. If you own Sunshine Autos, head there and go to the Spray.
- You can still get your weapons while inside the airport, to do this, move very closely to the windows where the weapons are located, then move sidewards to collect them or you can park a vehicle next to the fences of the metal detector then jump over it.
- On the way out of the airport, there are three unique-color black Admirals chasing you. You can eliminate the two, which are waiting at a parking lot near the airport entrance, by entering the Tarmac Area directly after picking up the briefcase. Eliminating the cars from there, will make the escape a whole lot easier. It's also possible to get out of the airport from the Tarmac Area, completely avoiding the Admirals. Stay close to the water, and head for the red bridge that leads near the junk yard.
- When you enter the airport at this mission. Your weapons will be left outside. But there will be a free M60 on your weapons even though you don't have one. Tested on PC.

By: Barry W. Jaffin, MD; Vera Kandror Denmark, MD
Nearly two million people are affected with IBD [e.g., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis] in the U.S. These inflammatory conditions are a group of several distinct disorders which probably explains the diversity of extent and activity of inflammation within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The age of onset is usually in the 20s and 30s, although there is a slight second peak in incidence in the 50s to 60s. Men and women are equally affected in IBD as opposed to IBS, which is female predominant. Revised and updated 2009.Topics: Inflammation, Other Disorders/Symptoms

Fact Sheet: Bleeding in the Digestive Tract174
By: Information Adapted from the National Diseases Information Clearinghouse NIH
Bleeding in the digestive tract is a symptom of a disease rather than a disease itself. Bleeding can occur as the result of a number of different conditions, some of which are life threatening. Most causes of bleeding are related to conditions that can be cured or controlled, such as ulcers or hemorrhoids. The cause of bleeding may not be serious, but locating the source of bleeding is important. Causes, recognizing symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment is discussed.Topics: Other Disorders/Symptoms

Fact Sheet: Is it IBS or Something Else?195
Physicians can usually identify irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) from patients' symptoms. Many patients additionally require only routine blood tests and a colon evaluation, and some require no tests at all to secure the diagnosis. However, some patients worry that they could have another cause for their symptoms, especially when symptoms are severe and chronic, or they know other people who they think had similar symptoms but a different disorder. Occasionally, another medical problem mimics IBS symptoms. This discussion focuses on how IBS is diagnosed and distinguished from other disorders. Reviewed and updated 2009.
Fact Sheet: Alarm Symptoms: A Cause for Alarm?196
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The lack of an obvious cause, and the absence of a physical abnormality in the gut (intestines) are features common to all the functional gastrointestinal disorders. We may take comfort that these disorders are more common than structural diseases, and that they are not life threatening. To be sure, the symptoms are real and often impair quality of life, but there is no identifiable pathology. Nevertheless, the presence of a functional disorder does not exclude the possibility of a coincidental disease, and your doctor will be on the lookout for worrying symptoms and signs. The following discussion describes so-called "alarm symptoms" that are not explained by any functional disorder, and therefore demand further inquiry. Reviewed 2009.Topics: Other Disorders/Symptoms
Fact Sheet: A Guide to Managing the Benefits and Risks of Medicines202
By: Information Adapted from FDA Publication FDA
For many people, taking medication is a regular part of the daily routine, and these medicines are relied upon to treat disease and improve health. Although medicines can make you feel better and help you get well, it's important to know that all medicines, both prescription and over-the-counter, have risks as well as benefits.Topics: Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, IFFGD, General Interest, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Motility, Other Disorders/Symptoms, Pain Management
Fact Sheet: Is the Association of IBS with Fibromyalgia and Other Non-gastrointestinal Functional Disorders Important and Why?207
Patients usually go to doctors with symptoms, not with the names of diseases or conditions. The doctor's task is to make sense of the patient's complaints within the framework of medical diagnoses and recognized diseases. But many patients have symptoms that remain unexplained after the diagnostic process is exhausted. This is the case because modern medicine focuses on diseases that have a basis in the structure or anatomy of the body systems rather than functional disorders that have a basis in how the systems work. In effect, symptoms remain "unexplained" not because they cannot be explained but because some doctors do not know how to explain them. Revised and updated 2009.

(written from a Production point of view)
Ira Steven Behr (born 23 October 1953; age 62) was executive producer of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as well as a writer of several episodes. He was also a producer on Star Trek: The Next Generation from 1989 to 1990. With writing partners Robert Hewitt Wolfe and, later, Hans Beimler, he possibly deserves the most credit for the Deep Space Nine Dominion War story arc.
Ira Steven Behr graduated Lehman College in New York City and studied Mass Communications and Theater at Brandeis University where he was offered a playwriting scholarship. However, he moved to Los Angeles instead to pursue a career in writing comedies for television and film. But instead of comedy, Behr became known for his television dramas. His first breakthrough was on the James Garner television series Bret Maverick. He later served as story editor for the series Jessica Novack. Behr was also writer/producer of the series Fame, Once a Hero, and Bronx Zoo.
Star Trek
Behr can be seen sitting at a table in Vic Fontaine's lounge in DS9's finale, "What You Leave Behind", along with other series writers and producers, presumably as part of the holographic audience.
In pieces of background signage (such as the USS Defiant (NX-74205) dedication plaque), there is a listing of Behr's name, meaning that in a literal interpretation, there is a Starfleet officer named Ira Steven Behr.
Among the episodes he has a "special fondness for" are "The Nagus", "Past Tense, Part I"/"Past Tense, Part II", "Call to Arms", and "Duet". (AOL chat, 1997)
In 1998, Behr was asked by Michael Piller for his opinion on an early draft of Star Trek: Insurrection. Piller agreed with many of the suggestions Behr made about the weaknesses in the draft. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
After Deep Space Nine
After Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended its run, he has been involved in many other successful television shows. He was a consulting producer on Dark Angel and was an executive producer on The Twilight Zone (2002-2003). After that, he was the executive producer and writer on René Echevarria's The 4400.
Around 2003, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga asked Behr for his opinion on Star Trek: Enterprise and to offer suggestions on how to improve that series. Behr commented "Rick called me up, it was his initiative. He asked me had I seen Enterprise, I told him no. He asked if I could look at it - they were thinking maybe of stepping back and that "this be another DS9 experience," whatever that meant. I didn't really think it over in terms of what were the chances of that reality happening again. They sent me the three shows, I went in, had a two hour meeting with Rick and Brannon. It was a very cordial meeting, but everything I said I am sure they did not like hearing. I would not liked to have heard it if someone came into my office and talked as bluntly as I was talking to them. Though again, it was done all cordially. After it was over I am sure they were uncomfortable, I was very uncomfortable, we shook hands, Rick said, "well, all interesting stuff, we'll think it over," and I never heard from him again. That's the whole story and it's barely a blip in anyone's lives, it has no impact whatsoever on the franchise. It's just something that happened". [1]
He currently lives in the Hollywood Hills, California. He is happily married to his wife Laura and is the proud father of his two children Roxanne and Jesse.
In 2009, Behr participated in an audio commentary on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country with Larry Nemecek.
In December 2010, it was announced that Behr would be the showrunner of a new Syfy series, Alphas. [2]

The group was founded by Newcombe, Matt Hollywood, Ricky Rene Maymi, Patrick Straczek and Travis Threlkel in the early 1990s in San Francisco.

Battle Tower
this wiki
In the Sevii Islands, a smaller and simplified version of a Battle Tower can be found in the Trainer Tower.
Beginning in Generation III, the Battle Towers are run by Tower Tycoons, who essentially fulfill a similar role to that of Gym Leaders in Pokémon Gyms.
Battle Tower facilities exist in three regions in the games, and three in the anime.
In the games
- Johto, on the north end of Route 40, later joined by the other facilities of the Battle Frontier in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Hoenn, on an island south of Route 130, later joined by the other six facilities of the Battle Frontier in Pokémon Emerald.
- Sinnoh, in Battle Zone on the northeastern island, later joined by the other four facilities of the Battle Frontier in Pokémon Platinum.
In the anime
- Johto, in Olivine City
- Hoenn, in LaRousse City
- Kanto, near Tohjo Falls, and part of the Battle Frontier
|This article is a stub. Please help the Pokémon Wiki by expanding it.
Upon entering the Battle Tower, there will be 3 people at the counter:
The one on the left will guide you into Wireless Wi-Fi battles, where you can connect with your friends and join teams to battle. Both Single and Double battles are available.
The one in the middle will guide you into Solo battles (1 on 1), consisting of both Single and Double battles.
The one on the right will guide you through Nintendo Wi-Fi Battles, where you can fight against people all around the world.
Most Legendary Pokemon are banned, while some are still allowed in. You can still enter:
(please add more if you know they can be entered)
If you manage to defeat all 7 Trainers, or all 7 Double Battles on Multiplayer, you will be awarded with 3 BP (Battle Points) which are stored for later use. If it was a Wireless Double Battle on Pokemon Platinum version, however, you will instead receive 8 BP as opposed to 3.
BP can be spent outside the Battle Tower at the stores for certain prizes, ranging from TMs to held items. These items are usually expensive, so you need to frequently participate at the Battle Tower if you want prizes.
Strategies/Combos for Double Battles
In Double Battles, whether it be Wireless or Solo, strategy really matters. It's all about how you use your moves and types to your advantage! Try experimenting with different combinations of types and moves to see what you work best with.
Please feel free to post some sweet combos below, with the Pokemon, moves involved and a brief description of how to use it effectively. Don't be shy - I'd love to hear your ideas! #PrinceCooshie101
Send out: Garchomp and Rotom.
Garchomp: use Earthquake. Rotom: use Discharge.
Discharge won't affect your Garchomp, being a Ground type, but your opponents will both be damaged (if they aren't Ground types). Earthquake won't affect your Rotom, because it has Levitate. Both your opponents take damage (if they aren't Flying or have Levitate themselves). This way, you can inflict maximum damage to your opponents Pokemon in a single turn, without hurting your own Pokemon.

Wharfedale Diamond 10.0 review
The famous 1980's speaker reaches its 10th generation. And it's a small one too
The famous 1980's speaker reaches its 10th generation. And it's a small one too
This affordable floorstander unusually features a dome midrange driver.
Over its long history, stretching back some 75 years to the earliest days of hi-fi, Wharfedale has become almost synonymous with high-quality budget speakers, like the small Diamond 9.1 standmount that we reviewed earlier this year.
Having celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2007, Wharfedale is the quintessential traditional name in British hi-fi speakers, with a history that extends back to the very birth of the product.
The Opus2 M1is the entry-level model in the range, but still costs £1,000 plus an additional £300 for the (optional) column stands
If you happen to live in Yorkshire, you'll know that Wharfedale is one of the incredibly beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The rest of us will recognise 'Wharfedale' purely as the name of one of the first British specialist loudspeaker manufacturers
Long famed for being one of the most amazing tiny boxes ever sold, the original Wharfedale Diamond spawned a positive dynasty of Diamond branded speakers. This is the 5.1 distant descendant of those days
There are certain synergies between this system and its opposite number from Wharfedale. Once they were competitors, but the IAG parent company of Wharfedale has recently completed its takeover of Mission.


text: This is a nice map but the only thing I would suggest is if the "rock/earth fill" was toned down a bit to have a smaller range of lightness. The corridors are the focus of dungeon maps and the fill is basically just negative space so you don't want it to be too distracting. You want people to see the corridors and rooms.

Style With A Cane

Today the doctor told me that I had a broken knee cup. I did it 4 months ago in Yoga. I am feeling very sad at the moment beacause I have been in a lot of pain while they treted me for somenthing else; so when I saw the post about the cane and these bunch of beautiful older people, the tear that I have been keeping to myself came to my eyes at last.

Hi Ari
And THIS is why I love you.
Best, J.

Ah. Amazing people. Amazing style. I want to look like this when I'm older.
- June 23, 2010 at 5:42 PM
What's interesting, is that none of these people seems to see themselves as "walking with a cane". They're all smiling, fashionable and, even more importantly, wearing a sense of confidence, not just nice clothing. Dependence on a walking device need not be a fashion detriment.

A few years ago I saw that a Russian woman I know started using a cane. I think my comment to her was something like "Olga, you don't need a cane!" Well, I just saw her at a wedding which she took a bus to and then walked almost half a mile to attend. She needed the cane to stay vibrant and healthy and able to walk half a mile to a wedding. That cane has added a spring in her step, not taken it away. Go Olga!
