KDE4.10 ======= This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.5 for Slackware 14.0. Now that Slackware-current has an official set of KDE 4.10.x packages, provided by Patrick Volkerding, I am offering my own packages for Slackware 14.0 - so that users of this stable release can enjoy the KDE upgrade as well. This is the last incremental release in the 4.10 series, which probably means that this is the last version of KDE4 that I will be compiling for Slackware 14. If Pat decides to upgrade to KDE 4.11 in Slackware-current, then there will be a KDE 4.11 for Slackware 14 as well. The upgrade from Slackware 14's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. I added eleven updated dependencies (PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, libbluedevil, phonon-gstreamer, qt, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano and virtuoso-ose) and added a new one: qjson. None of these dependencies were updated since my KDE 4.10.4 package set. I updated several 'extragear' packages compared to Slackware 14: bluedevil, calligra, kdevelop, kdevplatform, ktorrent, kwebkitpart, libktorrent, networkmanagement, oxygen-gtk2, skanlite. Four extragear packages are all new: libkscreen, kscreen, oxygen-gtk3 and kio-mtp. Compared to my previous KDE 4.10.4 package set, I updated libkscreen, kscreen, oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3. Four KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.8.5 of Slackware 14: * kdegames has been split up into smaller individual packages since 4.10.1. * kdemultimedia has been split up into smaller individual packages since 4.9.x. * ksecrets has been removed completely since the 4.9.x series. * printer-applet has been replaced with print-manager since 4.10.x. NOTE: About the language packs (KDEI) - for Slackware 32-bit as well as 64-bit: * KDE localizations (language packs) are available in "x86_64/kdei". You only need one package (for your own language). Don't let the "x86_64" in the directory name fool you, the language packs are useable on both platforms. translations/localizations. NOTE: If you decide to install these packages on top of a fresh installation of Slackware 14 and have excluded all packages in the 'KDE' package series during installation, you will be missing several add-on packages, some of these are essential to the proper functioning of KDE! If you excluded the complete Slackware 14 'KDE' series, then you will have to install the following essential packages at a a minimum: * polkit-kde-agent-1 * polkit-kde-kcmodules-1 And optionally install these as well: * amarok * k3b * kaudiocreator * kdevelop-pg-qt * kplayer * wicd-kde NOTE: Sources and scripts have been separated from the packages in my 'ktown repository starting with KDE 4.9-rc1. If you want the sources for 4.10.5, run the following command to download them: # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/source/4.10.5 . Then if you want to compile the KDE packages on your computer, run: # cd 4.10.5/kde # ./KDE.SlackBuild Wait a long time, and you will find the new packages in /tmp/kde-build . Note that these packages will already have been installed by KDE.SlackBuild ! But if all you want is the packages I created, then you can skip all of that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to install or upgrade to KDE 4.10.5, follow these steps: Make sure you are not running KDE or even X ! If you are running an X session, log out first, and if you are in runlevel 4 (graphical login) you first have to go back to runlevel 3 (console) by typing "init 3". To make it easy for you, here is a one-line command that downloads the whole 4.10.5 directory (excluding the sources), with 32-bit and 64-bit packages (and be careful of the 'dot' at the end of that command, it is part of the commandline !!): # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/14.0/4.10.5 . Or else, if you want to download packages for just one of the two supported architectures, you would run one of the following commands instead (note that there is a dot at the end of these commands!). If you want only the 64-bit packages: # rsync -av --exclude=x86 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/14.0/4.10.5 . If you want only the 32-bit packages: # rsync -av --exclude=x86_64 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/14.0/4.10.5 . Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree "4.10.5", you must now change your current directory to where you found this README (which is the directory called '4.10.5'). If you used one of the above "rsync" commands then you can simply do: # cd 4.10.5 From within this directory, you run the following commands as root (note that some of the old KDE package names are obsoleted now, they have been split up, renamed or integrated and that is the reason for the 'removepkg' lines): On Slackware 32-bit: # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/*.t?z # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/kde/*.t?z # removepkg kdegames # removepkg kdemultimedia # removepkg ksecrets # removepkg printer-applet On Slackware 64-bit: # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*.t?z # removepkg kdegames # removepkg kdemultimedia # removepkg ksecrets # removepkg printer-applet If you already have one or more non-english language packs installed: # upgradepkg x86_64/kdei/*.t?z If you want to have a non-english language pack installed but none is currently installed, substitute your country code instead of the 'XX' in the next command: # upgradepkg --install-new x86_64/kdei/kde-l10n-XX-*.t?z Check if any ".new" configuration files have been left behind by the upgradepkg commands. Compare them to their originals and decide if you need to use them. # find /etc/ -name "*.new" A graphical (ncurses) tool for processing these "*.new" files is slackpkg: # slackpkg new-config Then reboot your system. ============================================================================== Eric Hameleers - alien at slackware dot com - 02jul2013

On September 29, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Raphael means "God Heals." This is the angel of whom we read in the book of Tobit, whose father was healed of blindness through the angel's help.
Today, let's pray to Raphael to heal the many wounds caused by abortion in our world, and to bring those who have committed abortion to the peace and forgiveness of Christ.
Let's also ask Raphael's intercession to heal the blindness of all who think it is OK to let children in the womb be ripped apart by abortion, or who are not motivated to do something to save these vulnerable lives.
Raphael the Archangel, bring God's healing to our nation, that we may become a culture of life.
–Fr. Frank

Last month I completed Beyond the Quest for the Historical Jesus: Memoir of a Discovery by Thomas Brodie (Sheffield Phoenix, 2012) and have only just now found the time to review it here (I've been so busy I haven't even had internet access for most of the last two weeks–buried in the moors and quaint villages of England–sorry about that!).
In this book Brodie (a major biblical scholar) drops a bombshell: he has been convinced that Jesus never existed as a historical person since the 70s. Only now (in this much-anticipated book) has he felt free to say so publicly, and explain the path of discovery that took him there. This book is as the subtitle says: a memoir. It isn't really a good book for arguing his case. In fact, it's terrible at that. Consequently, I cannot recommend this book to anyone who wants to see a good case for Jesus not existing. You simply will not be convinced by his treatment of that here. All it does do is explain, autobiographically, the steps that took him to this conclusion, with some brief outlines of the kind of arguments he could perhaps gin up if he were to do a full-force defense of the thesis.
However, even were he to write that hypothetical book, I still don't think he'd have a case. Not that there isn't a good case for the conclusion (that Jesus probably did not really exist historically as the Gospels claim). Rather, I think Brodie has come to that conclusion invalidly, from a rather weak series of arguments. Others will complain of his theology, as he attempts to argue in Beyond that he can still be a good Catholic (and a member of the church hierarchy) even if he believes there was no historical Jesus. His attempt to make sense of that is nonsense, IMO, worse even than the dubious "have it both ways" theology of the Episcopal skeptic, John Shelby Spong. But I really don't care about that. That's for the superstitious goons at the Vatican to argue over. Atheists can be satisfied with the gut punch to all such kinds of hyper-liberal reasoning in Hector Avalos' The End of Biblical Studies (which smartly treats and refutes both conservative and liberal attempts to rehabilitate the bible as anything but awful ancient woo).
My interest is in this book's value toward advancing the historicity debate. Assessment: it unfortunately won't. It's one merit is its honesty, and its setting an example that one major well-qualified expert does not deem the notion of Jesus' ahistoricity to be implausible or out of bounds. I cannot say it adds to any argument from authority. Since his case is invalid in my opinion, his being a proponent of ahistoricity does not itself support ahistoricity, only its respectability. Why? Well, he rests on one non sequitur and one false premise.
The non sequitur is common among myth proponents: the Gospels are obvious contrived myths, therefore Jesus didn't exist. The premise is true (many have well proved it already, but I will marshal the best evidence in my book on this next year). But the conclusion does not follow. Brodie also does not make a very good case even for the premise in this book, though I know he can. His treatment in The Birthing of the New Testament does a better job of that, albeit flawed in the same ways MacDonald's Homeric argument is: the case is made with enough strong arguments, but those are buried under many weak arguments, so people tend to dismiss the whole thesis because of the latter, not taking proper note of the former. But in any case, if you want to see the best case for that, Beyond is not it. I don't think he will convince anyone with what's presented here. It's possible I'm too jaded, though, and that the material in Beyond will be fresh and intriguing enough to someone not already familiar with the Brodie thesis.
Meanwhile, the false premise has to do with his treatment of the Pauline epistles. Really the only evidence for historicity there is is a scant few obscure passages in the Pauline epistles (e.g. references to "brothers of the Lord"), so they are really the most important evidence to deal with, and he deals with them almost not at all. In fact, his answer to them is to declare them all forgeries, and Paul himself a fiction. Brodie makes no clear case for this conclusion, and what arguments he does have are fallacious (e.g. the letters have certain features that forged letters sometimes share–except, so do authentic letters), and the position as a whole is too radical to be useful. Not that it hasn't had serious defenders before this. But it constitutes a whole additional fringe thesis one must defend successfully first, before one can use it as a premise in an argument for the ahistoricity of Jesus. And I am skeptical that that can really be done (see my comments here and here). Certainly none of his arguments in Beyond are convincing on this subject.
To be clear, Brodie's view appears to be that the authentic Paulines were written in the early first century by Christians who would have known the original apostles. So he is not advancing the Detering thesis, for example, that they are all mid-second century forgeries. But he doesn't explain how their contents can still make sense within the context of a non-historical Jesus. In fact, Brodie presents absolutely no theory of Christian origins at all. And that is perhaps this book's most decisive failing. You simply cannot argue successfully for ahistoricity without testing a theory of Christian origins without Jesus against the best (i.e. most defensible and least speculative) theory of Christian origins with Jesus.
So, methodologically, this book is just as unsound as Ehrman's book arguing the contrary (which is rife with fallacies cover to cover). Does it have any merits? As autobiography, it is very informative. As a précis of why he believes what he does, it's adequate, just not persuasive. His treatment of the presumption of an oral tradition behind the Gospels is spot on (no one has summed it up quite so well in so short a space: pp. 115-19, cf. also p. 156). His rebuttal to Ehrman's Did Jesus Exist? is over-brief but on point (pp. 226-31). And he has sound opinions on the criteria used to defend historicity (they suck: p. 157) and the extrabiblical evidence (they prove nothing: pp. 16-68; I disagree with some of his premises here, but his conclusions follow all the same, e.g. here you will find the best argument that Josephus doesn't matter even if everything he says is authentic). And there are occasional gems (e.g. he has an intriguing thesis as to why Jesus was mythically construed to be a carpenter or the son of one: pp. 159-60; and his conclusion of Josephus is eminently quotable: "it is not possible, in any reliable way, to invoke Josephus as an independent witness to Jesus. Unreliable witness cannot be used to condemn someone to death. And neither can it be used to assert that someone lived.").
But these do not constitute enough of a merit to warrant recommending this book to most readers, who will not much benefit from it, I'm sorry to say.

White America has historically nursed a love-hate relationship with the continent's native residents. American Indians have been viewed as the "noble red man," possessing the highest ideals of individualism, or "savages" to be exterminated—sometimes at the same time. More recently, they've gained an standing as New Agey spiritualists, which possibly adds insult to injury.
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts explores these stereotypes and even attempts at realistic representations in its exhibit "Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West" that will be on view through Aug. 11. It's an exhibit worth seeing.
One of the few Native Americans to be represented in the show is Kevin Red Star, whose work adorns this blog. Raised on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana, Red Star will discuss the themes of his work and his growth as an artist—including having his work shown along with art giants Andy Warhol and Albert Bierstadt.
Thursday, April 18, 4:30 p.m. and it's free.

I know a lot of people have seen it already 'cause I think the films broke the google counters at something like 150 million views or something crazy but in case you haven't if I had one wish it would be that every man, woman child on the planet watched this film. I think it totally relates to everything Lupe spits about and offers the only real solution that gets to the root of our problems. Here it is:

It should be possible to set an option for only testing against the local part of an email address. Sometimes the domain will not change or you really dont need the domain part.
I just added a complete rework of Zend_Validate_EmailAddress... this feature has also been added to incubator for tests.See SVN r17945 for details.

The world became a little brighter on this day 29 years ago when you were born. Thank you for everything that you've done and continue to do. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to one of the few gentlemen left on the planet
happy b-day LUPE music is always great and you never disappoint. Words I Never Say should be the new anthem.
Happy Birthday Lupe. Hope you had a great day. "One year older, one year wiser, Fire quelling man, Mr. Compromiser." -Gregory Ivor Newman
Happy birthday Lupe! Thanks for giving us excellent hip-hop music (along with excellent rock music, Japanese Cartoon).
Happy Birthday Lupe!!! you're one of my favorite artists,i wasn't really a fan of hip hop until i heard one of your songs. I fell in love with the message and depth of thought put into the lyrics to the point of actually researching what i didn't understand. Thanks for letting your music inform people about the world and not glorifying violence, sex, drugs. I can't wait for Lasers!! Happy Birthday again...hope you have an awesome day because you sincerely deserve it!!!!
Happy Birthaday Lupe...Nothin but da best wishes go out to ya... Thank you for making good music again... May you continue to be blessed with success. Thank you for keeping it real. Cant wait for your new album to drop.

I've said this on Facebook and Twitter, but I want to wish you a Happy Birthday once again! Here, I created this little cartoon version of you heh heh http://twitpic.com/3sf05i. Sooo hyped for Fiasco Friday II to take place here in NY in a couple of weeks!!
Happy birthday Lu! I hope you have a wonderful 29th birthday. I used to be like you said you were in "Hurt Me Soul". I used to hate hip hop because the women were degraded. I was too exposed to mainstream rap, and never got to see the underground side of hip hop. Then, around 2006, I found your music. And it was from you that I was introduced to legends like Nas, Mos Def, Tupac, and many more. I'm Sunni, like you too. mashAllah, it is amazing to have the greatest MC in the game to be Muslim. Represent! Hahahah.. Well I hope somehow you see this, so that you know how much your music means to me. You are the greatest influence in my life. Thank you for the great music, and im definitely getting premium for Lasers. We are not losers, we are Lasers. P.S. - Food and Liquor was the greatest album of all time. Can't wait till F&L2!

Sept. 2, 2011
DAEGU, South Korea- After his 10th-place finish at the U.S. Championships and with his age creeping up, many might have doubted former Arizona State University track and field standout Dwight Phillips' chances to defend his world title in the men's long jump. Phillips put those doubts to rest Friday, however, soaring to his fourth IAAF World Championship crown in Daegu, South Korea.
Phillips saved his best jump of 2011 for the biggest stage, leaping 8.45m (27-8 3/4) on his second attempt for a mark that would hold true, giving the Sun Devil his fourth victory in the last five IAAF meets in the event. Phillips, now 33, had only cleared eight meters once in 2011 before having three jumps at the championship competition over that mark.
Wearing the number 1111 on his bib - fitting for an athlete notching his fourth finish at the top spot in the competition - Phillips was never really challenged in his attempt to repeat the repeat the performance that earned him the 2009 crown in Berlin. Phillips never reliniquished the lead (including having the top jump of the qualifying round) and only Australia's Mitchell Watt was able to pull anywhere near the ASU alumnus, though his best leap of 8.33 (27-4) was still several inches shy of superseding the world champ.
Phillips, the 2004 Olympic Champion as well, attended Arizona State to finish up his undergraduate years in 1999 and 2000 after transferring from the University of Kentucky. In those two years, the Decateur, Ga., native scored several All-America honors, won four conference crowns and set the school long jump record before going on to become one of the most dominant long jumpers of the past decade.
Phillips wasn't the only former Sun Devil representing the university at Friday's competition. Ryan Whiting, one of the more exceptional throwers in school history, took seventh in the shot put finals in his very first international championship appearance with a best throw of 20.75m (68-1). Former cross country and distance standout Amy Hastings took home a 15th-place finish in the finals of the 5,000-meters as well.
Of the six former Sun Devils who competed at the IAAF Championships over the past week, three advanced to the finals and four advanced beyond the qualifying rounds in what was a very solid showing for a program that has established itself as one of the best in the country, in terms of turning out successful runners in the present and sending many of them on to successful post-collegiate careers. The ASU track and field team is set the begin its 2011-12 slate in Janaury with the start of the indoor season.

Hello, welcome to the amazing world of pokemon. The new games black and white are here, and if your reading this your ready to play.
First up comes the differences in play, and which game you choose to get. Both are very, very similar. The differences are is as follows:
-White City in pokemon white. It has rare wild pokemon and rare items you can find. While in Black City, you can buy rare items and fight wild pokemon. Its a difference on stand point. Would you rather just get items, or have to work for them and get them in the end for free? Or would you like to find lots of exclusive pokemon (over 32 in white more), is training more important? Its all up for preference.
-There also is the version exclusive pokemon, most notably Zekrom (the cool black one) in pokemon black. Or Reshiram (the angelic white one) in white. Again your choice. But for full preference, here are the version exclusive pokemon (excluding White Forest pokemon):
Exclusive to Black Exclusive to White
-Weedle -Caterpie
-Kakuna -Metapod
-Beedrill -Butterfree
-Mukrow -Misdreavus
-Honchkrow -Mismagius
-Houndour -Poocheyena
-Houndoom -Mightyena
-Shroomish -Paras
-Breloom -Parasect
-Plusle -Minun
-Volbeat -Illumise
-Cottonee -Petilil
-Whimsicott -Liligant
-Gothita -Solosis
-Gothorita -Dousion
-Gothitelle -Reuniclus
-Vullaby -Rufflet
-Mandibuzz -Braviary
-Toradus -Thundurus
-Reshiram -Zekrom
There are a few big choices here. In white you have Reuniclus which is superior to Gothorita. White in black you have a few more with Whimsicott, Houndoom, and Breloom. So a few more better version exclusives for black. Still you lose out on 32 pokemon!
For the veterans to the series, you can start mashing the a button right about now, since your fine for quite some time. But there are new people to the game so I must review the basics.
A: select/no/enter
B: cancel/back/no/run
Y: Registered Items (talk about that later)
X: In Game Menu
Right, Left, Select and, Start Buttons: nothing at all
Control Pad: basic moving function
As you can see there is not fancy finger work here, but mainly the A and B buttons for enter and exit.
Ok lets started with the game, finally. Just go to your DS, and select the game and watch the opening credits (or skip them by pressing A if you wish). After the amazing scene you will come across the main menu. First up, is the continue option to continue the game where you left off before. The other is to start a new game, if this is a brand new game this will be the only option. Then you have a mystery gift which allows you to get event pokemon, to check it out every once in a while. Next up is the game sync and battle competition options, but first you will need to register online. Nintendo WFC Settings gives you the option to play online, so if you want to trade and battle with friends you will need to sync it up here. Mic test, tests you mic on your DS thats cool I guess.
Ok now time to start you adventure. The professor will blab on a bit about something, something pokemon. Mash the a button until she asks what gender you are. Are you boy or girl? Well!? You have to choose one, and remember this will stick with you with the rest of the game. As with your name, so choose a good one.
Ok its time to start your adventure first off a lot of talking, as usual. Then comes the big decision, the starters, but first there is a pause, for serious trainer this is when you save so you can soft reset for good natures or even shiny starters.
Again for those new, pressing X opens up your menu screen. The first option up is Pokemon, this allows you to view your pokemon. Clicking on one open up a few options, summary gives you an overview of your pokemon. Next up is Switch, which allows you to switch around, remember your pokemon the first one up is always your lead, which is important in battles. Then Item which allows you to go through your items, and place them on your pokemon, which again is important for battles, and for trading items. Also here in the future will be moves you can use to effect your world, like smashing rocks or flying away. Then there is Bag in there are several pockets, scroll to the right or left to access them, Items contains items which may boost a pokemons power or evolve them also, poke balls are here. Medicine contains items which heal your pokemon up HP wise or status wise. Tms and Hms contains as it says, Tms and Hms for your pokemon to learn as moves. Unlike past generations, they are unlimited, meaning when you use them they dont go away. Berries contain, well berries, which heal up status for the most part, like free medicine. Finally you have your key items, they are items you use a lot in the game like the bike. Click on them to register (or un-register) them, so when you press Y you activate them. Trainer card is kinda dull, you just view your badges and how much money you have. Save is important, it saves your game file, so you can start out where you just save before. If you dont save you will lose you game, I suggest you save frequently. Options gives you lots of options for your game, like text speed and sound.
You have your choice of fire, water and, grass which are Tegig, Oshawott and, Snivy respectably. Choose well, because it will stay with you for the rest of the game, unless you ditch it for kicks like an a-hole.
Tegig -> level 17 -> Pegnite -> level 36 ->Emboar
Tegig is good strong pokemon, able to hold its own in the game quite well. In game its tied with oshawoot in usefulness, so it pretty good, if you use it its considered medium or easy mode. In its final evolution it has high attacks on both ends with decent defenses, but it has low speed and bad typing. Thats the reason why its not breaking through the metagame. Problem is beginning out you have tackle and ember all the way up to level 15, which makes it hard to start out with, and even then you just get flame charge. But in the end game its pretty good with a whole host of moves.
Suggested Set:
-ember -> flame charge -> flamethower/head smash/earthquake
-tackle -> arm thrust -> Hammer arm
-tail whip -> heat crash -> flare blitz
-odor slueth -> defense curl -> take down -> wild charge
Oshawott -> level 17 -> Dewott -> level 36 -> Samurott
Oshawott, like other water starters, it usually the most reliable, having little problems in the game and at the least its medium in usefulness. Straight up with learns water gun. Which unlike the other starters, it can be used quite well. Then it get the powerful razor shell at only level 17, making it a real team player early out. And it only gets better from there with an amazing move pool and great stats, which allow it to sweep more effectively then Emboar, which is always nice in-game. Still its offensive stats arent amazing so your will need a super effective hit to even 1HKO most of the time. Still a solid pokemon, no doubt.
Suggested Set:
-tackle -> revenge -> ice beam
-tail whip -> fury cutter -> mega horn/x-scissor
-water gun -> razor shell -> aqua tail/waterfall/surf/hydro pump
-water sport -> focus energy -> water pulse -> aqua jet/swords dance/return/grass knot
Snivy -> level 17 -> Servine -> level 36 -> Serperior
Snivy is overall considered the worst starter in these games, universally considered hard mode. Why? First off is move pool is pretty bad, relying on vine whip with only 35 power until level 16 and then all you get is leaf tornado, after that you dont get a good grass move until youre a serperior! And after that? Nothing, nothing at all the best you got is return the rest of its move pool is all status. And its stats aint that great either, with a stupid amount in defenses, paired with mediocre defenses and little offense. Its ok for in-game, but certainly not the suggested choice.
Suggested Set:
-tackle -> return
-leer -> growth/coil/clam mind/swords dance/light screen
-vine whip -> leaf tornado -> leaf blade/leaf storm/energy ball
-wrap -> leech seed/aerial ace
Ok now you have chosen. It is time for you first pokemon battle! It the basic battle tackle each other to death. First you will battle Bianca she has whatever starter your strong too, silly girl. Then you battle Cheren who has whatever starter your weak to, douche. There is little strategy here, only advice I can give is if you do plan on using tail whip, use it on the first turn and thats it, after that you can get a neat 3 HKO on it.
For those new to battling, you will catch on quickly, its the simple prospect of choosing attack and choosing attack moves, and killing the thing in front of you. Its a lot more complex then that, but thats the basic idea. Each attacking type has an type and status. The types are pretty straight forward, pokemon types have certain affects on other pokemon types. For example fire types are super effective to grass types, grass types are super effective to water types, ect. And some are not very effective like grass to steel or fighting to ghost. Not all moves attack though, some increase your stats to hit harder, some affect the other pokemon and some do things to the pokemon field.
You can see what types are good to each other here:
Other options, are Pokemon which allows you to switch out, and choose another pokemon to battle with, bad which gives youre a list of items to use in the battle. The Items are the same as the other bag but, they are just organized better. HP/PP restore are items that restore you HP, poke balls allows you to catch things (will discuss this later), status restore which heals any status problems and finally, battle items which are freaky little items which increase you stats.
After that you walk downstairs and your mom talks to you a bunch. Remember you are use your mom to heal your pokemon if you need to, as she is the only medic early on in the game. She will also give you the X-transceiver, which allows people to annoy you are talk to you when they are far away (yay.) Then go out of the house, and head directly to Biancas house in the southwest part of town. After witnessing parental abuse, go directly to the professors lab.
At the lab the professor will talk a bunch. But dont be too quick to go mashing the a button, seeing as somewhere in her rant she gives you the option to nickname your pokemon. Dont worry about it to much though, since you can simply rename it later on in the game. Next she gives you a Pokedex, which is now an option on the main menu. It goes through all the pokemon you have seen and caught and gives info about them. Kinda cool. Then your mom will come, and she gives you a Town Map, which allows you to figure out where you are and where your going, in the game. Now head north to route 1.
As soon as you enter route 1, you will come across Bianca and Cheren, to learn about the mysteries of catching pokemon. After the Professor teaches you about catching pokemon, she will give you 5 pokeballs. Now the Professor goes over the simpler aspect of catching pokemon, weaken it down and lug poke balls at it. The lower a pokemons health, the easier it is to catch. While this certainly is one way, it doesnt go over the fine details you soon will have to know. First off, you can not catch other peoples pokemon, at all, thats stealing. Also putting status conditions on a pokemon, makes it easier to catch, these include paralysis, burn, poison, sleep, frozen, and badly poisoned. Of these badly poisoned sleeping and frozen make it much easier to catch something, but nothing outright freezes and even they you can thaw, you can easily wake up from sleep, and if you badly poison something it soon will die. I prefer paralysis, as you cant get rid of it and it shuts a pokemon down so it doesnt attack you much, when you lugging pokeballs at it. Also the kind of pokeball use is critical, great ball catches better, and ultra ball even more. And even then there are better pokeballs, dusk, quick and, timer balls become a bit more powerful under the right conditions. Masterballs will catch anything, always.
Well now you can go catch some pokemon. The process of finding pokemon is fairly simple, run around in the grass. They will appear in more places in the future, such are caves, water, desert sands, and fishing. Here are the pokemon you can find right now, on route 1:
Name Levels Rarity
Lilipup 2-4 50%
Patrat 2-4 50%
Lilipup -> level 16 -> Herdier -> level 32 -> Stoutland
Lilipup is a good, solid, pokemon in game. Early on you get tackle with because of normal stab, simply owns the early story line. And after that you get take down, which again wrecks the mid-game. Problem is after that its usefulness sort of stifles out, knowing only crunch and wild charge are great additional moves. Still crunch owns most ghost types, as they can not even touch you and you have a super effective move. And its stats are pretty decent with 80 and up in all the stats that matter, making it very strong. A great pokemon to pick up early on.
Suggested Set:
-leer -> work up/dig/aerial ace
-tackle -> take down -> retaliate -> return
-odor sleuth -> wild charge
-bite -> crunch
Patrat -> level 20 -> Watchhog
Patrat is an interesting pokemon, no doubt. Like the rats from past generations, this thing gets a killer move pool later on, which can be real annoying. Super fang cuts things HP in half juts like that, and hypnosis and confuse ray are really annoying. Patrat also has a bunch of options like baton pass and swords dance, to help you team. So Patrat goes for an interesting support and annoyer role, rather then straight up attack. Honestly sweeping is better in game then all that jazz, but if you like to be an annoying person, go ahead. Dont try to sweep with this thing because it just doesnt have the stats, stat wise is inferior to Lilipup in every way.
Suggested Set:
-tackle -> hyperfang -> return
-leer -> hypnosis/thunder wave/toxic/swords dance
-bite -> crunch
-bide -> sand attack -> confuse ray -> super fang/dig/baton pass
Continuing on route 1, a lady in the second grass patch will give you a free potion. Thats as far as route 1 goes, at the end the gang will want to talk with you. They talk to you on the X-transciever (even though they are right next to you.) Get use to this thing because your going to see it a lot. Then the professor tells you to heal your pokemon in the next town, Accumula.
Ok now the professor will lead you to the pokemon center. After that they force you to heal your pokemon, no animal abuse in pokemon land. Pokemon centers basically heal your pokemon, so if they are dieing on you, they get fixed up, pretty handy. Then they lead you to the Pokemart, which in now inside the pokemon center too. Here they suggest you buy some items, I would too. About 5-10 pokeballs in fine and maybe a few potions, but the pokeballs are crucial. The other shop sells useless things like mail, so just ignore it. Then you gotta go outside, at some point, there Team Plasma will be being all annoying and talking and stuff. Just mash the A button until you got to battle N, the rival or sorts that Plasma has for you. Yay 3 rivals!
Just as a side, in the pokemon center there is a computer which is called a PC. If you go to the computer it gives you a bunch of options. First off is someones PC, which you soon shall know the name of this allows you to move around your pokemon in and out of your PC. See you can only hold 6 pokemon at a time, so any overflow goes here in the PC, if you want them you have to go here. Withdraw lets you take them out, but you must have an open slot. And deposit allows you to throw pokemon back into the PC. Move gives you a mixed of both, allowing you to individually switch pokemon and move them around, I use this the most personally. Move items just moves your items from one pokemon to another. Your names PC is you item storage, have any extra, unneeded, items? Ditch them here, deposit and withdraw work similar to the way they do for the pokemon, just no boxes.
Pretty easy battle. Your starter should be at least level 6 now. And even if you manage to lose it you have patrat, or lilipup, or even both, to finish them off. After that just heal up. In a house on the west side of town, a guy in a house with a Patrat, will give you a free pokeball. After that just head west to route 2.
As soon as you head into route 2, you mom will call you up, then she runs to you can gives you the Running Shoes. Which do an amazing thing, allow you to run (because you just cant run without Running Shoes silly). Just press B while walking, and you can run around. There is some pokemon in the grass up ahead, only new one in Purloin:
Name Levels Rarity
Lilipup 4-7 40%
Patrat 4-7 40%
Purrloin 4-5 20%
Purrloin -> level 20 -> Liepard
Purrloin is the first non-normal type you get to catch. So it offers some diversity, but dark types still share that weakness to fighting. Also early on you dont have any stab moves, and only in the mid game so you start getting some decent moves. After that, though, it is simply outclassed by other sweepers later in the game, but again its a great mid-game pokemon, when at only level 20 its gets decent attacks on both sides and a great speed. Its move pool its just enough to get through the day, remember no ghost moves, since ghost and dark moves have the same typing, but dark gets stab here; on the special side its a bit lacking though, with only grass knot, and no boosting moves.
Suggested Set:
-scratch -> slash -> return
-growl -> pursuit/thief -> night slash -> sucker punch
-assist -> fake out/aerial ace
-sand attack -> thunder wave/toxic/grass knot
On route 3 you will encounter 3 trainers with a level 7 pokemon, each one with a pokemon, all together they have a Lilipup, Patrat and, Purrloin. Level 7 is a bit high in this point in the game, so dont be embarrassed if you have to go back to the pokemon center after each one. If you climb some steps and then head south you can get a free pokeball and potion. At the end ogf route 2 you will meet up with Bianca, she will then want to battle you.
Brianca: $700
Always has:
Level: 6
-odor sleuth
If you chose: Tepig:
Level: 7
-tail whip
-vine whip
If you chose Snivy:
Level: 7
-tail whip
-water gun
If you chose Oshawott:
Level: 7
-tail whip
Pretty easy battle, just beat there starter which should be easy since you know your the stronger type, then lilipup should be a breeze. After that head north to Striaton City.
Ok first off here head west and get an X-Speed, at the least you can sell it. Then go to the first house, the man will give for a free great ball, they catch pokemon a bit better then a normal ball, so yeah. Behind the houses you will find a guy who will give you a dusk ball, which is very effective if used at night or in caves. Finally there is a great ball hidden in the west part of town, in some trees. Now go to the pokemon school, before talking to Cheren, talk to a little boy who gives you a quiz. The answers are Antidote and then Awakening. As a reward you will get a full heal, which heals all status problems. Then battle Cheren, he is much stronger then Brianca, just to warn you.
Cheren - $800
If you chose Snivy:
Tepig @ Oran Berry
Level: 8
If you chose Tepig:
Oshawott @ Oran Berry
Level: 8
-tail whip
-water gun
If you chose Oshawott:
Snivy @ Oran Berry
Level: 8
-tail whip
-vine whip
Always has:
Level: 8
Hopefully by this point you trained something else besides you starter to take him on, if not switch to some newly caught pokemon and spam leer until it dies, then take it out with tackle. Purrloin is easy to deal with. If you have any problem here feel free to use some potions. After you beat him he will give you an Oran Berry. You can now face the first gym leader now, but before you do that there is something else I suggest you do first. Head on over to the dream yard to the east, make sure you have a slot open too because your about to get something to your party.
In the dream yard first you have to face a few trainers. Battle them there good experience for the gym. There is a girl with 2 Purrloins at level 8 and, a boy with 2 level 7 Patrat and a level 7 Lilipup. Then at the end you will meet a girl which will give you an elemental monkey, depending on your starter. Its whatever your starter is strong against, so if you choose Snivy your going to get Panpour, the water monkey. While I have to admit the monkeys aint that great, they will at least cream the gym leader coming up, if needed.
Pansage -> leaf stone -> Simisage
Pansage is an ok pokemon, but there are a few grass types in Unova you will find a lot more useful, but still its ok. One of Pansages biggest strengths is its pretty swell move pool. Also its strengths dont come into play until at least the late mid-game where is faces still competition. Still its ok use it if you want. The big issue here is when to evolve it, you can evolve it after you get a leaf stone when you enter Castelia City but at least wait until you get to level 22, when you learn seed bomb. After that though there are no useful moves aside from crunch, which you cant get unless you wait until level 43, which is kinda annoying and shadow claw is only 10 points lower in power.
Suggested Set:
-scratch -> return/focus blast/brick break
-leer -> leech seed -> rock slide
-lick -> bite -> shadow claw
-vine whip -> seed bomb/energy ball/grass knot
Pansear -> fire stone -> Seamisear
Suggested Set:
-scratch -> focus blast/brick break/return/rock slide
-leer -> yawn -> grass knot
-lick -> bite -> shadow claw
-incinerate -> flame burst -> flamethrower/fire blast
Pansear is considered to be one of the worst of the monkeys. The reason is that incinerate is main stab move early on is only a pitiful base 30 power, which with stab is a mere 5 points stronger then scratch. This makes it very hard to use later on. To make matters worse at level 22 it learns flame burst, which again is a full 10 power points weaker then its monkey bros scald and seed bomb. But like its brothers it gets a pretty decent move pool and fire blast which is something Pansage and Panpour cant say. Also as with its brothers, crunch comes way to late and generally is not worth it. The last nail on the coffin though for Pansear is the fact that in Unova there are multiple better fire types out there with much better stats and move pools. So unless you like this thing, or just dont want to ditch it, its not worth keeping.
Panpour -> water stone -> Semipour
While panpour is very much like its monkey brothers, it has a very key differences that make it worth keeping. First off water guns comes straight off at 40 power which with stab is pretty strong in game. Also look around Unova, aside from Oshawott, which you obviously cant get if you have this monkey, this thing has the highest speed and attacks of any water type, making a great and unique pokemon, since water has amazing coverage. And it only has 2 weaknesses which is good. Finally to top, it off Panpour has a great move pool like all the other monkeys. Evolve it at level 22 after you learn Scald a great water move, and crunch is not worth while at level 43. So its defiantly a pokemon worth considering, great all the way through.
Suggested Set:
-scratch -> return/grass knot
-leer -> ice beam
-lick -> bite -> shadow claw/grass knot
-water gun -> scald -> surf
Ok after that there is a X defend past the girl, thats all there is here for now, so head back to the city.
As soon as you enter the gym the entering gym dude, will give you a fresh water, which is great to heal if you need it. The puzzle for the gym is mad easy, just click on the button type that beats the curtain type. Pretty easy man. After that you have to face these 2 people before the gym leader, a dude with a level 11 Lilipup and, a girl with a level 10 Patrat and level 10 Purrloin. They are pretty strong but the leaders are stronger, so train up. Then you face the gym leader, but there are 3, the one you face depends on your starter. Svivy gets Chili, Tepig gets Cress and, Oshawott gets Cilan. Of course they have whatever your weak against, so its quite a challenge.
Cilan/Chili/Cress - $1680
All have:
Level: 12
-work up
Level 14:
-work up
-vine whip
-fury swipes
Level 14:
-work up
-fury swipe
Level 14:
-work up
-water gun
-fury swipes
This admittedly a difficult gym. Work up can cause problem as they just boost, boost, boost then sweep. And unless your willing to grind, you will need to get tricky. One method on Pansage and possibly Lilipup is to growl every turn with a Lilipup, since all there moves are physical. One other method, that I personally used was to send out a joke pokemon, that you dont mind using, and simply leering or tail whipping every turn. Then after they land a fatal blow since in your monkey, and it should be able to take one hit even with a few boosts, then land a fatal blow with a super effective and negative defense hit. Also you can just straight up attack them with your monkey and hopefully you kill them off, since the monkeys dont have much defense. After you beat them you get TM: Work Up. Work up boosts both your attack and special attack at once. So its a pretty good TM at the beginning, remember its unlimited use to each it to as many as you want!

The Vertical Farm
The current 3.3 billion global urban population is expected to grow to 5 billion by 2025... Today our agricultural footprint is the size of South America...what will it be tomorrow...
EDITT Tower ("Ecological Design In The Tropics") is being built in Singapore with the financial support of the National University. The 26 story tower will have over half its surface area covered by organic local vegetation. Solar panels will generate up to 40% of the building's energy demands, and human waste will also be converted into an energy source via an on-site bio-gas facility. The Architecture firm TR Hamzah & Yeang is constructing the building using recycled and recyclable materials when possible!

Clepsydra Urban Farm by Bruno Viganò & Florencia Costa. The 1500 sq ft footprint urban lot prototype (10-story) produces the equivalent to 6 acres of farmland for certain crops or 40 tons of tomatoes a year. The prefab structural frame is built with mechanically assembled steel rods needing no welding, enable fast mounting, disassembling and maintenance operations. The enclosure is made of a transparent, resistant structural plastic membrane (ETFE). Clepsydra can be composed into multiple kits creating sustainable neighborhoods and cities.
WORKac's version of vertical farming combines farmers' housing in a series of stepped terraces with a farmer's market and public space below.
An Urban Garden. Lucie Sadacova's project aims to bring an innovative solution by designing multileveled vertical urban garden 'allotments' which in turn make use of derelict or underused spaces. Eventual multiple functions of the building, that is open to the public, include an interpretation centre for schools and seasonal use for those affected by S.A.D (Seasonal affective disorder).

Advantages of Vertical Farming
1. Year-round crop production; 1 indoor acre is equivalent to 4-6 outdoor acres or more, depending upon the crop (e.g., strawberries: 1 indoor acre = 30 outdoor acres)
2. No weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods, pests
3. All Vertically Farmed (VF) food is grown organically: no herbicides or pesticides.
4. VF virtually eliminates agricultural runoff by recycling gray water
5. VF adds energy back to the grid via methane generation from composting non-edible parts of plants and animals
6. VF dramatically reduces fossil fuel use (no tractors, plows, shipping.)
Where to Start:

Read the new book by Dr. Dickson Despommier "The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century" www.verticalfarm.com
'By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use (sources: FAO and NASA). Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to avoid this impending disaster?' www.verticalfarm.com
Dickson Despommier is the Emeritus Professor of Public Health and Microbiology at Columbia University, and the vertical farming concept grew out of a medical ecology course he taught in 1999. Articles about the subject have been published in The New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Popular Science, Scientific American and Maxim. In October 2010, his first book on the subject, The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century, was published. More can be learned through his website, verticalfarm.com.

Go back and watch the second-to-last possession. Watch Wimberly's run that creates the 2nd and 1. Take a close look at that spot. It should have been 1st and 10 from the 3. Spots were iffy all night IMO.

Spots were constantly a yard short. The ref on the student section side always spotted it short.

Least favorite poster: JHUNSY
Are you saying there was a bias?
No, not in this conference.
The spots were bad all damn game long. Could see it from all the way up in Section B. I haven't watched my DVR of the game yet, not sure I want to.
Just when I think I'm starting to get over the loss...

Godo (Berserk): If you desire one thing for so long, its a given that youll miss other things along the way. Thats how it is
thats life.
I was talking to family members who were watching on TV during halftime. They said the refs were regularly spotting us a half-yard to a yard short.....
I struggle to believe that refs could be challenged in their skill level or general integrity.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
We got screwed all night long. What makes this so hard is that I genuinely feel like the refs gave them the game. Sure, we had chances and we didn't capitalize on all of them. But, when you have a young team developing, the margin for error is small. I feel like that margin was taken away from us, multiple times.
That is what makes this so painful

CW is a bit on an instigator.
So you're saying there is a conspiracy?
so what your saying is that ISU was playing against Texas and the refs?
can anyone post a pic/gif/video of this? Not to question you CW, but I'd like to see it.
If you can stand to watch it.. here's the video starting with first and 10. [edit: if you push play, it should skip to a play or two before the spot in question]

I went to my local book store looking for a book on peguins and found these series. I ordered almost all of them and my five year old loves them. She learns new facts and she also gets to read them on her own.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Baltimore County News
County Executive Kevin Kamenetz
'Dinner and a movie' will soon have a whole new meaning in downtown Towson. I was excited to announce that three restaurants – all new to Baltimore County – are the first of eight best-in-class restaurants joining Cinemark Theatres in the new Towson Square entertainment center coming to downtown Towson. Towson Square is an expansion of the successful Towson Circle development which features Barnes & Noble, Trader Joe's and Pier 1 Imports.
La Tagliatella, with restaurants throughout Europe, features generous portions of northern Italian cuisine. Towson will be one of their first U.S. restaurants. Nando's Peri-Peri, a South African-owned restaurant with locations in 34 countries on five continents, specializes in Portuguese flame-grilled chicken. On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is known for its mesquite-grilled cuisine and lively outdoor patio.
Cinemark Theatres also is bringing their new VIP-level seating concept to Towson, featuring full bar service and premium food choices for over-21 movie patrons. There will be a total of 15 state-of-the-art screens with 3,400 stadium-style seats, bringing the latest films and theatre experiences to downtown Towson.
We expect Towson Square to draw people from throughout the Baltimore area, so we're getting ready right now. Construction is underway on a new 650-space underground parking garage to be operated by the Baltimore County Revenue Authority. The movie theatres and restaurants will be open in 2014.
Stay tuned – there's more coming soon to a downtown near you.

Ok so i went nuts this week and called USAA to cash out a mutual fund I had (hasn't lost that much yet about 15-20%) I didn't want to be left with nothing. I all so let my wife name my last daughter so i could one day buy a full auto (what a sucker she was going to name her any way no matter what I said)
So i will have about $4500 to $5000 to spend get one I've been looking into the Mac-10's and what do you guys think is better .45 or 9mm I have a few 1911 in .45acp and don't what to have to get into 9mm but I see that some of the MAC-10 .45's can be converted to 9mm by replacing the top half and putting in a magwell thing. The two cals would really be nice and i would pay a few more bucks for one like that. I've been looking on gunbroker and subguns for a deal. A shop by my house has a MAC-11 in 9mm for $3200 that is tempting.
What do you guys think it will be more of a safe queen/investment. but i will shoot it from time to time.
also What about mags I will get about 10 anybody know some good ones?
