Health reform works.
In Maryland alone, over 300,000 people have gained access to quality, affordable health care thanks to bi-partisan reform enacted by our state legislature since 2007.
- Expanded Medicaid eligibility for working families and foster kids
- Helped young adults stay on their parents' health insurance up to age 25
- Provided discounts on prescription drugs to seniors
- Improved access to mental health and substance abuse treatment for low-income adults
- Created health care grants to help small businesses provide benefits to their employees
Now, by re-electing President Obama, the American people reaffirmed the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We look forward to working closely with the O'Malley-Brown Administration to fully implement the ACA in Maryland. With President Obama's Affordable Care Act, over 300,000 more Marylanders are expected to gain coverage, reducing the percentage of Maryland's uninsured population by 50%! Maryland is in the lead of states working to implement the law, which means:
- New consumer protections and elimination of the "hidden health care tax"
- Millions of dollars in federal grants and enhanced federal match for new Medicaid recipients
- More seniors who can afford their prescription drugs
- More young adults who can stay insured by staying on their parents' health insurance to age 26
- Valuable new tax credits for small businesses that provide health insurance for their employees
And so much more! Check out the rest of our site to learn how the health reform law can help you and your family get quality, affordable health care.

Robert Anton Wilson Week at Boing BoingPosted by Greg at 03:35, 12 Jan 2012
This is quite lovely: over at Boing Boing, Mark Fraunfelder has announced this week will be a celebration of the life and work of Robert Anton Wilson. There's already a number of posts, including this spot-on assessment of RAW's influence by Gareth Branwyn, which I'm sure many Grailers will relate to:
There is so much to Illuminatus!, an almost fractal density, that you have to unhinge your mind (like a serpent would its jaw) to fit it all in... There are few works of art or pieces of media that have altered my nervous system to the extent that Illuminatus! has.
In 1976, I was this awkward, alienated Wiccan teen, a restless seeker. But I was also a science and space nerd. I could never reconcile these two and constantly switched between them, rejecting one for the other, at least for a time. But here was a world where these points of view were not mutually exclusive, a playfully plastic world where open curiosity, creativity, absurdity, and skepticism leavened all explorations, whether religious/mystical/artistic or scientific. It was Robert Anton Wilson who turned me onto the concept of "hilaritas" (what he described as being "profoundly good natured"). These books (and all of RAW's oeuvre) are steeped in that spirit.
...I've gone through many intense changes since that 18 year old kid scammed free reading material, and my belief systems (or "BS" as RAW called them) have oscillated wildly, but most of my takeaways from Wilson have remained. His basic approach of being "open to anything, skeptical of everything" is how I've tried to live my life. This allowed me to finally embrace both parts of myself, the part that wanted to be open to magick and spirit and the part of me that needs extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims.
...At one point in Robert Anton Wilson Explains Everything, the interviewer asks Bob why he's so into conspiracy theories. He'd spent the better part of his life studying them, writing about them, but he doesn't seem to actually believe any of them. So, why the intense interest? Bob thinks about it for a moment and replies: "It keeps the mind supple."
Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for pulling an uptight, overthinking teen out of his constrictive reality tunnels and for a lifetime of "keeping the mind supple."

Fortean Times UnCon 2011Posted by Grail-seeker at 12:29, 16 Nov 2011
Speakers at the Fortean Times Uncon know well that there's nothing that titillates a fan of the Fortean more than a choice new morsel of unlikely freakishness, and they seldom disappoint.
Jon Ronson was on excellent form introducing the topic of his latest book 'The Psychopath Test' (Amazon US/UK), exposing insanity at the heart of psychiatry, from the dangers of faking madness too well, to the natural affinity between corporate capitalism and psychopathy, via 24-hour naked 'crotch eyeballing' sessions for psychopaths on acid.
Brian Regal, warming up to his main theme, 'Science and the Sasquatch', a review of the career of physical anthropologist Grover Krantz, mentioned in passing the dog-headed origins of St Christopher and Linnaeus' category for cryptic species called the 'Paradoxa' and treated the audience to a medieval depiction of various monsters in speedos. While Krantz never achieved his goal of proving the existence of the Sasquatch, there's no shame in the trying.
Next up, David Clarke reported on his investigation into a Sheffield woman's death caused by her sighting of a ghostly apparition in an early example of spiritualism in 1855, a year which also featured many Fortean phenomena including Devil's hoof-marks in snow.
When speaking on his chosen topic of talking dogs and canine intellectuals on German TV, Jan Bondeson (Amazon US/UK) drew complaints from viewers about his lack of respect for Hitler! Jan, with his delightfully dry wit, served up various canine personalities including a reincarnation of Pythagoras, a dog taught to say 'How do you do Grandmama' by Alexander Graham Bell and a talking dog named Don, who won over a hostile priest by offering up the word 'Hallelujah'.
Struggling with his technophobia, the CFZ's Richard Freeman gave an update on their latest expedition gathering data from local inhabitants in search of the yeti (stumbling upon stories of giant snakes along the way) and the orang pendek. While it must require extraordinary tenaciousness to maintain the slow but steady progress of cryptozoological research, it's also a challenge to fill an hour's talk with your latest findings. Who knew that false vampire bats taste like rabbit?
Day one's talks concluded with Sarah Angliss building on the apparent theme of the weekend - talking animals and voices of the dead - treating us to a spooky 1890 recording of Florence Nightingale (although Otto von Bismarck singing a cowboy song might have been more fun), the New Jersey accent of Hoover the talking seal, and giving an audience member the chance of vocal immortality via the wax cylinder of an Edison phonograph. For her finale, Sarah treated us to the music of the aether, a performance on Theremin accompanied by a ventriloquist doll/automaton, inspired by John Logie Baird's doll Stooky Bill, who featured in his early televisual experiments.
Day 2 kicked off with Christopher Josiffe's account of a mysterious phenomenon which gripped the Isle of Man in the 1930s - Gef the talking mongoose - who took up residence in a remote farmhouse, but in his own words "knew a hell of a lot", including all the gossip from the bus garage in Peel. Josiffe's impersonations of various choice quotes from the creature were a highlight!
An allegedly cursed (but recently-carved) stone head joined David Clarke and Andy Roberts on stage as they entertained with examples of ancient and more modern rock-based lore, from Tigh na Cailleach, believed to be the oldest known pagan shrine in continual use, home to a stone family who watch over livestock during upland summer grazing, to the Hexham heads of evil repute, eventually discovered to have been cast in concrete as a father's demonstration of his occupation to his daughter.
This was followed by best-selling authors Picknett and Prince. Lynn put a Hermetic spin on the origins of science, explaining that its pioneers (Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Bacon, Kepler, Tycho Brahe) were all inspired by the occult. Clive followed up with the provocative conclusion that modern physics supports the idea of 'intelligent design'. Their book, The Forbidden Universe is available from Amazon US/UK).
In Ted Harrison's history of apocalypse-prediction, he shared just some of the stories behind the apparently 250 predicted apocalypse dates which have already passed, from one found on an Assyrian clay tablet from 2800BC, to Harold Camping's more recent attempt (which thankfully didn't dissuade Ted from preparing for his talk). Those seeking further information on the coming apocalypse might wish to refer to the Rapture Index.
Gail-Nina Anderson gave an amusing account of the mummy in popular culture, charting its appropriation and distortion by horror flick and comic book to the point where it has become a comical (and easily-dodged!) monster figure.
As a finale, we were treated to a screening of comedienne and ventriloquist Nina Conti's film tribute to her irrepressibly eccentric mentor Ken Campbell, who left his vent dolls to Nina in his will. The film follows Nina as she travels to a ventriloquist's convention, and to Vent Haven in the US (a museum-cum-rest home for bereaved vent dolls). Movingly funny and disturbingly odd.
I must try to make it to the evening event next year. Highly entertaining by all accounts!

Anonymous and the TricksterPosted by Greg at 13:43, 09 Nov 2011
Wired has a very interesting profile piece on the 'hacktivist' group Anonymous, in which the author uses the Trickster archetype to try and understand them better (with mentions of Robert Anton Wilson and Alan Moore to boot):
Hacker culture, and almost all of computer culture back in the day is shot through with the Discordian edge of 1960/1970s counter-culture and Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's Illuminatus. So from there it's the yippies, Andy Kaufmann, and the Situationists we need to first comprehend. Or do we head back to early 20th century absurdists of Dada? Or maybe we venture all the way to that olde booke of epic trolling lulze, Tristram Shandy?
Like Alan Moore's character V who inspired Anonymous to adopt the Guy Fawkes mask as an icon and fashion item, you're never quite sure if Anonymous is the hero or antihero. The trickster is attracted to change and the need for change, and that's where Anonymous goes. But they are not your personal army – that's Rule 44 – yes, there are rules. And when they do something, it never goes quite as planned. The internet has no neat endings.
The trickster as myth proved so compelling that the network made it real. Anonymous, the net's trickster, emerged like supernatural movie monster out of the misty realm of ideas and into the real world.

Hilary Evans ObituaryPosted by Greg at 01:16, 19 Aug 2011
The Guardian is carrying an obituary for Fortean pioneer Hilary Evans, whose passing I noted last week:
Most people who research paranormal phenomena choose a side in a war of competing beliefs and disputed evidence. Hilary chose instead the side of scholarship, backed up by the massive home library that he donated to the Archives for UFO Research in Sweden – all 5.5 tonnes of it. His measured approach focused on social and cultural context and human psychology, as he believed that understanding extraordinary phenomena required understanding the person who experienced them. That is not to say he never drew conclusions. He was scathing about alien abductions, for example, a belief he (wrongly) predicted in the late 1980s would never take hold in Britain because people there were too sensible.
The range of his scholarship through time and across phenomena meant he was able to see connections no one else could. In books such as Intrusions: Society and the Paranormal (1982), Visions, Apparitions, Alien Visitors (1984) and Gods, Spirits, Cosmic Guardians (1987), he drew a direct line from, for example, folktales of fairies and leprechauns to modern-day accounts of extraterrestrial visitors. His later books included Outbreak! (2009), which examined cases of mass hysteria, and Sliders (2010), which covered street-light interference, the belief by some people that they turn off street lights as they pass by them. Failing eyesight prevented him from writing down his next book, which he had ready in his head.
The obituary is written by Wendy Grossman, founder of The Skeptic magazine. Note that John Rimmer has a really nice write-up of his memories of Hilary over at the Magonia blog as well.
Vale Hilary EvansPosted by Greg at 03:58, 28 Jul 2011
Both Cryptomundo and Magonia (latter recently updated with more complete post) are today reporting that Hilary Evans, a pioneer of Fortean studies, has passed away. Writes Loren Coleman at Cryptomundo:
Hilary Evans, who was born in 1929, passed away this morning, July 27, 2011. He was an intellectual British pictorial archivist, author, and researcher into cryptozoological, Fortean, ufological and other undiscovered phenomena.
Evans was born in Shrewsbury, United Kingdom. In 1964 he and his wife Mary Evans founded the Mary Evans Picture Library, an archive of historical illustrations. In 1981 he co-founded the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena.
Evans was an exponent of the Psychosocial Hypothesis of UFOs as culturally shaped visionary experiences.
Mary Evans had herself just passed away last year. The passing of Hilary Evans comes on the back of the loss, earlier this month, of another pioneering anomalies investigator - William Corliss.

Jeff Kripal's "Psi-Fi: Popular Culture and the Paranormal"Posted by Greg at 03:17, 01 Feb 2011
Boing Boing has posted a fascinating feature article by Jeff Kripal (Authors of the Impossible) titled "Psi-Fi: Popular Culture and the Paranormal". It continues Jeff's exploration of the topic, bridging the gap between his current book (which discusses the work of researcher-writers such as Charles Fort and Jacques Vallee) and his upcoming book on "some of the extraordinary ways that the paranormal experiences of artists and authors have helped inspire pulp fiction, science fiction, and superhero comics."
These paranormal patterns were so strong in the 1950s and 60s that sci-fi fans began speaking of Psi-Fi. Think pulp editor Ray Palmer's use of his colorful clairvoyant dreams to write short stories. Think sci-fi master Philip K. Dick's mind-blowing experience of "Valis," that Vast Active Living Intelligence System that zapped him with its bright pink light in the winter of 1974 and led him to believe that his earlier novels were predicting, intuiting, leading up to this. Think legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby absorbed in the ancient astronaut theory and playfully predicting a Spider-Man cult in 2450 in the editorial pages of The Eternals. Or think the famous comic strip writer Alvin Schwartz writing two metaphysical memoirs that draw on Tibetan Buddhism to understand the synchronistic ways that Superman and Batman functioned in his life and work—like Tibetan tulpas, it turns out. With the Wat Rong Kuhn temple, we don't quite have Kirby's Spider-Man cult (but, hey, it's only 2011) or Schwartz's Buddhist Superman and Batman in Tibet, but we do have Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man in a Thai Buddhist temple.
Close enough.
And remember that we posted an article late last year from Jeff, excerpted from his current book: "Jacques Vallee: Author of the Impossible". There is also a documentary in the works for that book, which I'm really looking forward to seeing.

Fortean Times Uncon 2010Posted by Grail-seeker at 17:51, 27 Oct 2010
My first experience of the Fortean Times Unconvention was sprung on me this last weekend after Greg offered me a press pass out of the blue. Once domestic leave was negotiated, I couldn't possibly refuse it - the central London venue of the University of Westminster being a mere hour's journey from my home counties base.
With simultaneous talks in two lecture theatres (one a little too big and the other a little too small), one was forced to make difficult choices at times. Thankfully though, having heard veteran researcher and Daily Grail blogger Paul Devereux speak earlier in the year, on the topic of 'Magical Mindscapes' - the investing of spiritual meaning in the landscape - a favourite topic of mine, mind you, and the subject of his latest book Sacred Geography: Deciphering Hidden Codes in the Landscape (Amazon US/UK), he was not too offended when I opted to attend Mark Pilkington's talk instead!
With the word 'Rendlesham' in the titles of no less than three of the weekend's talks, and another talk on the Berwyn Mountain UFO case, Mark, with his recently-published Mirage Men: An Adventure into Disinformation, Paranoia and UFOs (Amazon US/UK) , was hard put, in his talk on The Abuses of Enchantment - looking at the use of weapons of mass deception, to avoid the UFO topic in an effort to maintain some balance.
While it's good to see the results of quality research into UFO cases, and it's arguably not the fault of open-minded researchers (like mythbusting 'Rendlesham botherer' Ian Ridpath) if the ETH turns out to be largely unsupported by the evidence in the cases they study, the dominance of the UFO sceptic theme in this conference was somewhat unfortunate. Having said that, the individual presentations on this theme (that I attended) were all excellent.
Beyond the Ufological, Jan Bondeson's talk on the Bosom Serpent and its parasitic relatives, and Jeremy Harte's investigation into the trope of ghostly 'headlessness' were highly entertaining forays into the pre-scientific mind, both facilitated by the comic delivery of a moustachioed eccentric. I'd personally like to have seen more of an emphasis on how the symbolic significance of serpents and heads might lie at the root of these traditions though.
Charles Foster, speaking on the topic of his latest book Wired for God?: The Biology of Spiritual Experience (Amazon US/UK), gave a survey of attempts to explain away spiritual experience by reference to neurobiological research, before exposing the weakness of such reductionist arguments and concluding that correlations don't imply causes.
Gordon Rutter's talk on A History of Talking to the Dead did what it said on the tin, although largely focusing on the 19th century to the present day.
Feeling a bit under the weather on day 2, Ian Simmons' account of Fantastic (or is that bad taste) Taxidermy left me feeling rather worse for wear. Walter Potter kitten tableaux and Gunther von Hagens' plastinated bodies galore.
My powers of concentration impaired, I paid less attention to the Sunday afternoon offerings, although to be honest, they were of less personal interest to me than many of the other talks. Matthew Alford and Robbie Graham discussed their research into several cases of military and government interference in Hollywood. Authors Mark Chadbourn, Natasha Mostert and Adam Nevill discussed Forteana and Fiction, and Peter Brookesmith, David Clarke, Nick Pope, Ian Ridpath and Paul Devereux looked ahead to Ufology in the 21st Century.
While the Unconvention has not maintained a yearly presence, I look forward to the possibility of next year's event.
Chaplin's Time Traveler?Posted by Greg at 12:15, 25 Oct 2010
Grailer Nostradamus sends this cool video for all you anomaly-lovers out there: an alleged time traveler caught on film in Charlie Chaplin's 1928 movie The Circus:
Just let me bask in the Fortean glow for a few minutes before asking rational questions like "what cell-phone tower/network would they be using?". One of the top-rated comments over at YouTube suggests that the device is an early 20th century hearing-aid (such as this one), which seems the more likely explanation...although not sure why she would be chatting to herself like that. Also might be worth checking that it's not a modern addition, given that the person presenting the video is getting some pretty good publicity from this vid.

It doesn't sound like Sun is a person you can trust to be ethical in a divorce. He can't be ethical to you, his other partner, not even his children in everyday life. How do you think he will be when it comes to legally ending this mess and settling custody of the kids?
If any of what he says about his new partner is true, do you want her influencing your kids? Do you want to deal with establishing a new set of standards in your home only to have it made twice as hard because he has some warped way of parenting where they feel forced to sleep in his bed and overly aware that he is rubbing one out to porn right there near the bed he insists they sleep in?
I've read that you intend this relationship to end and I see nothing that should make that intention a bad one; quite the opposite. As a mother, I'd be compiling evidence to use because 1. he has threatened to do so himself 2. he already sounds mentally abusive to you AND the kids now and who knows what level that will ramp up to without you around. 3. He works away from home right? How is a shared custody situation going to work if he settles near his job? 4. How much do you want your children to be exposed to someone who carries a flask all day and drives drunk?
I really feel for you and your situation. But now is not the time to get overwhelmed with grief. Sure divorce will end the daily misery for you, the daily arguments the kids are witnessing, but the aftermath HAS to be in the kids' best interests and ask yourself honestly, do you think he can manage that during the divorce process?

Following her brief return to Doctor Who last Christmas, Karen Gillan has spoken out about the "surreal" experience!
Fans of the hit BBC family sci-fi series will know how Gillan played companion Amy Pond alongside 11th Time Lord Matt Smith from 2010 till 2012 when she bowed out of the show.
However, when Matt Smith filmed his final scenes for the Christmas Special, The Time of the Doctor, last year, during which he regenerated into 12th Time Lord Peter Capaldi, Gillan was brought back in to reprise the role one last time (well, actually this is Doctor Who where no one definitively ever leaves).
Amy's appearance in the show came as a hallucination of Smith's immediately prior to the regeneration. In this hallucination Smith saw an image of young Amelia Pond on board his TARDIS, before a vision of adult Amy approached to say a final goodbye.
And now Gillan has spoken out about the emotional scene to Entertainment Weekly, saying how it felt weird to be back on set!
The actress is quoted by the publication as saying:
"It was such a surreal experience. Because those were three very important years of my life on that TV show and then to go back and be on someone else's TARDIS was a really weird sensation.
"[I was] sort of… on the outside looking in. But also knowing that life is okay after you leave Doctor Who.
"It was just a really interesting experience and important to me that I was there for Matt's final moments in character."
Gillan, who shaved her head last year for her role in Guardians of the Galaxy, went on to say how emotional the scene was to film and that when it was over everyone was in tears, explaining:
"Everyone was crying! Everyone! Me and Jenna [Coleman, who plays current companion Clara Oswald] were hugging. Oh my God,"
Doctor Who is currently filming its 8th series, with Capaldi at the Tardis helm, in Cardiff, and is expected to air on our BBC screens either late this summer, or early autumn.
Watch Gillan's Christmas Day return in the clip below:

The Shorewood boys track team is the defending WIAA State Division 2 champion, but the Greyhounds did something on April 8 that they haven't done since 2000 when they claimed the Woodland Conference East Division Indoor meet at Brown Deer.
"I'm 15 years at Shorewood, and nine or 10 as boys track coach, but I'm pretty sure this is our first conference title since then," coach Dominic Newman said. "I had to check with Tim Kenney (the old Greyhounds distance master before Newman took over some years ago), and he said that was right.
"The funny thing was, was that the guys didn't seem as excited. They're more geared towards (WIAA) sectional and state. I don't think they realize the significance of this. We've had a few of those (regional and sectionals) but rarely have we had anything in between like this.
"We're Shorewood. We'll take any win we can get."
The host Falcons finished fourth in the six-team event, the capper of the indoor season for both teams.
Distancing the Rockets
Shorewood won the meet with 109 points as South Milwaukee was second with 95 and Brown Deer fourth with 62-2/3 points. This is the first year that the Woodland split the two divisions for the league indoor. They will combine for later meets.
"And I compared our results to the Western Division meet and we would have been pretty competitive there too," said Newman.
The Greyhounds were led by their distance crew as Sam Shields won the 800 meters (2 minutes, 8.66 seconds) while Jack Mauer was third (2:09.64) and Charlie Stahl (4:37.4) and Jacob Goldberg (4:39.31) went one-two, respectively, in the 1,600.
Sam Kuhlmann built on his victory in the 3,200 at the Madison West Relays on April 5 by coming back and bettering his time in claiming that race again in 9:51.99.
Filling in at relay
In addition, the 4x800 relay team of Kuhlmann, Shields, Mayan Essak and Mauer also turned in a victory with a clocking of 8:40.23. Kuhlmann, who was filling in for an ill teammate in the relay and who had rarely run the 800-meter distance before this night, turned in a fine split of 2:07, said Newman.
"He's one of my nominees for performer of the meet," Newman said. Newman also noted that the state 4x400 record relay member Goldberg is starting to run better after battling some nagging injuries and that Stahl continues his steady run of strong races.
Also earning a trip to the top of the podium was Taylor Dennis in the long jump with a leap of 19 feet, 11 3/4 inches.
Other top efforts for the Greyhounds included the following: 800—Essak, fifth (2:11.9). 1,600—Johnnie Papineau, fourth (4:45.08). 3,200—Stahl, fourth (10:17.16); and Papineau, fifth (10:55.43). 55 hurdles—Olajuwon Cawthon, fifth (8.56). Four-lap relay, fourth (1:21.34). 4x400 relay—fourth (3:53.5). High jump—Jake Woyak, second (5-8); Max Gietzen, third (5-7). Pole vault—Ari Schermer, second (10-6).
For Brown Deer, Zack Baun continued his strong spring by winning the 200 in 24.42 and the high jump (6-4) while also taking second in the 55 dash (6.77). Jamar Manning took second in the shot put (43-7).
Other good finishes by event included the following: 55 dash—Kalvin Wiley, fourth (6.92). 200—Wiley, fourth (24.86). 55 hurdles—Nick Coleman, fourth (8.48). 4x800 relay—third (9:02.84). High jump—Nyles Williams, fourth (5-4). Pole vault—Jerry McDaniel and Gerry Giles, fourth (tie, 9-6).
Newman said that the new Brown Deer Novak Family Fieldhouse facility, which was hosting its first indoor conference meet, "was just beautiful."
Shorewood will take a distance medley relay while the girls will send Haley and Morgan Florsheim in selected distance races to this weekend's Kansas Relays.

"Son of a bitch, you're running up the meter!"
The old man is drunk, and furious that I was unwilling to make an illegal turn through busy traffic.
"Hey, I told you I'll knock a buck off, just chill."
"You piece of shit, it costs $8.70 this way, and $8.30 my way!"
"So we'll call it $8. This isn't a big deal."
When we reach his retirement home, the meter does indeed read $8.70, and he begins again. "I know what you just did to me! I know how you cabbies are, you can't fool me."
"Look, I said it's eight, calm down."
"I should call the police on you, you little motherfucker," he growls as he offers up the money.
"Hey, just keep it and get out, all right? You can have a free ride, that's how greedy I am."
And he spits in my eye, and the blood burns my cheeks, and I'm screaming as loud as I can. I call him a pathetic, washed-up drunk, a disgusting old fuck, and countless other vile things. I berate him out of the cab, his pupils dilated with fear. I've lost all control, and it's both exhilarating and terrifying.
When he's gone, I turn off the MDT, pull into an empty parking lot, and collapse into my seat, disgusted at my treatment of someone old enough to be my grandfather. The epiphany is as clear and unmistakable as it always is: I'm burnt out, and I need to get out.

Pokemon X
This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
I just want to have fun, so I use them a lot. But then things like Subways and PWT keep me from using them. But since I use them so much, they're about as strong as my team, it's not like I'm always hiding behind them.
They do not usually ban all of them. Only the ridiculously powerful ones. You can bring a zapdos in if i remember right. Just do not try to bring a palkia in, the stats are way too high for that to be remotely balanced.

Raikou's stats are actually weaker then dragonites if i remember right. Legendary does not = unbalanced.
Smogon has a tier called ubers and while most of them are in fact legendary, there are tons of legendaries whom are not there simply because they are not too powerful and thus are counterable. Anyone whos gonna look at palkia or kyogre and honestly tell me that should be allowed in with stuff like crobat, espeon ect clearly has no idea how this game works.

The game should have differant Pokemon Allowed in their facilities.(Each for a differant facility) That way you can use your favorite and face Pokemon of similar strength
1-One for all pokemon (Nothing banned).
2-One for All pokemon 600 BST and below.
3-One for pokemon with 500 BST or lower.
4-One for Pokemon with 400 BST or lower
5-One for Pokemon with 300 BST or lower

SoleEater posted...Yeah, not all legendaries are banned. I rented a Latios in the Battle Factory.If I remember correctly, that is.
The broken Legendary Pokemon, you mean.
Imagine... You're doing Battle Subway with your favorite Legendaries when all of a sudden, you run into Extreme Killer Arceus ( http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/arceus-normal read the first moveset on that list), Kyogre, and Lugia running a wall set (Lugia and Giratina are the best walls in the game. Nearly invincible).
There's no way you're winning that fight. Especially not if you play casually. Facilities use EV trained Pokemon and oftentimes competitive movesets. If they used Legendaries...
My gosh... That would be impossible.
There's a reason why you can't use the stronger Legendaries. You can use things like Raikou and Terrakion, but their BSTs are lower than that of monsters like Dragonite and Hydreigon. Things like Keldeo, Deoxys, and Genesect are banned because they're event-only. Technically, Arceus is banned twice over for being ludicrously strong AND an event.
I'm not easily impressed; I'm usually oblivious to whatever's in front of me.
PT_Piranha posted...
I know, right? All that effort to make those things, and we can't even use them anywhere aside from basic crap like wild encounters.
Now, to all the people using that fight from the anime as an argument: none of you can think.

petemidnight13 posted...Yeah, but in that case you have pokemon with ridiculous base stats. Besides, if I remember correctly, some legendaries are allowed. Not sure, but I think some weaker ones are.
And this is why your topic is flawed. You clearly don't know/understand the "serious" part of the game like base stats and that is the only reason why you're complaining. Well, that and your selfishness.
Have you ever thought that unbanning the few legendaries you love so much would render a MUCH bigger amount of pokemon redundant or straight up useless?
Why? Because many of those legendaries would murder anyone trying to use common pokemon, especially when EV trained and with proper movesets.
Legends are made for story and hype purposes and they should be kept that way.
ClassyOldHat 3 years ago#29
While I agree with the general consensus that BST >600 Legends should be banned from the subway, I still gotta wonder; why can't the subway and online be given tiers? Why can't there be a "no bans" subway in addition to a "normal" subway. Same with online. ESPECIALLY with online.

TV Review: FOX's 'Brothers'
Love jokes about paraplegia?
FOX has a show for you!
Easily amused by grown men with a clear need for orthodontia?
FOX has a show for you!
Captivated by the hilarious idea of returning home to discover your father has worsening dementia?
FOX has a show for you!
Premiering on Friday, Sept. 25 with a full laughless hour, "Brothers" comes from the same FOX live-action comedy tradition that gave the world "Do Not Disturb" and "Happy Hour" (for seven combined airings). Offering hope for "Brothers" is the fact that it's been paired with "'Til Death," which is somehow moving its its fourth mirthless season this fall.
That may offer less hope for viewers and for fans of "Dollhouse," which gets this sitcom block as its inexplicable Friday lead-in.
More kind words for "Brothers" after the break...
"Brothers" is built around the premise that NFL sackmaster Michael Strahan is such a compelling personality that the world has been waiting to see him in a traditional multi-camera sitcom.
Strahan plays Mike Trainer, a former NFL sackmaster. It's a stretch, but he pulls it off. Mike has been lured home by his mother Adele (CCH Pounder), who feigns concern that his father Coach (Carl Weathers) has had a stroke and is having mental difficulties. Adele has a number of ulterior motives, including forcing Mike to reconcile with his wheelchair-bound brother Chill (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell, who must have had it in his contract that if Strahan didn't have to learn a new name, neither did he). Having the family together under one roof seems like a dream for Adele, but it might be a nightmare for everyone else.
NFL fans have long known that in addition to his fierce on-field demeanor and his easy wit off-the-field, Michael Strahan has a gap between his two front teeth. It's a little distinctive.
TV fans know that Chill Mitchell has been paralyzed from the waist down since 2001, which hasn't prevented him from being both compelling and funny in a regular role on "Ed" and in a number of guest appearances.
There is a tradition in comedy, one that I would never attempt to stand in the way of, of acknowledging the elephant in the room and I guess that "Brothers" creator Don Reo figured that Strahan's gap and Mitchell's disability were the elephants in the room.
I'd still argue, though, that's one thing to acknowledge the elephant in the room. It's another thing to make your TV show into Dumbo.
How would I define the difference?
In the pilot for "Brothers," 20 punchlines revolve around either Mitchell's differently-abled status, or Strahan's long-past-relevant need for braces.
To break it down, that's 14 Mitchell jokes and only six Strahan jokes, which almost seems restrained if you add in the seven jokes about the possibility that Weathers' character has had a major cerebral event.
[Note: All statistics are provisional and unofficial. Sometimes I chose to count follow-up jokes as individual jokes within my count, while other times I didn't. It was a judgement call based on whether the follow-up was a new variation on the cripple/gappy/demented formula or a continuation of the previous joke. In addition, I didn't count sight-gags in which the whole point of the joke is that because one of them is standing and the other is in a wheelchair, there's a large hight disparity between Strahan and Mitchell. An alternative methodology would have been to count the number of laughs from the studio audience/laff-trak for those three topics, but that wouldn't work, since sometimes the disability punchlines came so fast that the very eager audience was too busy guffawing at one that they missed the next.]
And it's not even like there are a vast variety of jokes within these three subcategories. "Brothers" is tremendously lazy and uninspired with how it picks on these three inevitable topics, which is far worse than the fixation itself. If you have to make more than a dozen jokes about the guy with no feeling in his leg, how many times do you really think you're going to make people laugh by suggesting his mother likes to stab him in the thigh with a fork? I know. Take a few deep breaths and your side will stop splitting.
Throw in four penis jokes, focusing alternatingly on shaving and size, and there isn't really room for anything else in the pilot. Well, at least it doesn't leave any room for comedy. "Brothers" also views itself as the sort of sitcom that's capable of taking long breaks from gags for speeches about family unity, loving your siblings and taking responsibility for your own life. Reo is smart enough that he gives almost all of the dramatic lifting to Pounder who, with her four Emmy nominations, is just way, way, way too good for this material. She's the reason why "Brothers" plays far better as a drama than as a comedy. At least if your drama is laugh-free, it's hard to criticize you.
Because I'm an honest person and I have to admit that the second episode of "Brothers" is no funnier than the pilot, but it's a good deal less excruciating to watch. Perhaps having finally shot the elephant [in my pajamas... How he got in my pajamas, I'm never know] in the corner, the pilot makes no mention of the gap between Strahan's teeth. It's still there, but it's no longer the impediment and topic of conversation it needed to be in the pilot. There's also no mention of Coach's dementia. In fact, it's such a non-issue that Adele gets angry at her husband for that beloved sitcom reason, he forgot their anniversary. I felt like yelling at her, "He's got brain damage, woman! Cut him some slack." But since he exhibits no other signs of impairment, it's possible that the writers decided to forget about his forgetfulness.
In fact, if Mitchell could only stand up and do a jig, the second episode of "Brothers" would feel like a largely different and differently unfunny sitcom. Instead, Mitchell and his wheelchair have to bear the brunt of the mirth for the episode.
Again, episode two of "Brothers" isn't funny, but it isn't offensively unfunny, which allows for the possibility that ABC's "Hank" might find a way to claim the crown of the season's worst new show after its own second episode.
That still won't take away from how disheartening "Brothers" is. The NAACP put out a statement on Wednesday raving, ""We... salute the network and the series producers for making a groundbreaking comedy that is fresh and inventive, while still accurately portraying real-life situations facing many American families today."
I beg to differ with nearly every word of the review, which goes on to urge all NAACP members to watch the show, but I understand why the statement was necessary. If you ignore "The Cleveland Show," with its team of white producers and its white-guy-in-black-voice leading man, "Brothers" is network TV's only series focusing on an African-American family. And while there are a number of shows with African-American leads or co-leads, they're almost all dramas and they're all ensembles. The closest you're going to find, really, is Tyra Banks on "America's Next Top Model," which only exposes or serves as a reminder of The CW's decision to ditch "Girlfriends" and "Everybody Hates Chris."
If network television had five African-American-centric shows, the NAACP wouldn't need to put out a press release urging members to watch each one. Heck, if there were two, the NAACP probably wouldn't choose to take sides. But when the network television landscape offers exactly one show that focuses on African-Americans -- don't bother seeking out the shows that focus on Asians or Latinos -- the civil rights organization has to show support.
And, say this for "Brothers," it isn't regressive. The only race-based humor is very carefully directed to really be about Caucasian people -- For example, Pounder's character celebrates that her skin is still wrinkle-free, expressing gratitude that she isn't a white woman -- so that the stereotypes are deflected away from the family.
It's just bad.
"Brothers" has its hour-long premiere on FOX on Friday, Sept. 25 starting at 8 p.m.

Today's eye candy is Azalea 'Gibraltar', enjoying its second Spring here. Knee high to a grasshopper, it is carrying a mass of buds. The selection of my other half and an anchor of my blue and orange border, formerly known as The Black Hole border.
2016 Week 2 #sketchjanuary
Just as walking every day needs to be fitted into the daily schedule, so does the discipline of sketching daily. I was pondering this on yesterday's daily walk, collecting images for more sketching. I've managed to walk every day we have been at home since January 1 and I've also managed a sketch a day … Continue reading
Week 1 Sketch January
At the end of week 1 of this years Twitter sketch January I had managed a daily drawing or water colour sketch every day. I'm focusing on exploring pen and wash, using a Lamy fountain pen and washable black ink and water colours drawn with fine black or grey waterproof pen and a restricted palette … Continue reading
After a sketching and painting break lasting most of last year, I'm taking part in this year's #sketchjanuary on Twitter. You can follow along using that hashtag on Twitter and see some beautiful artworks to brighten up your day. I'll post some of my sketches here. Happy 2016 everyone.

A short walk today resulted in a failed sketch of a gateway! So here's the log basket I painted last night whilst sitting by the fire. More on the world trip soon. Pen and watercolour in a 5 x 8 inch Moleskine watercolour sketchbook. Yep, I'm back using Moleskines as the current journal.
november 24
A long break, yes. The reason? A once in a lifetime trip around the world, starting on September 17th and ending on November 8th. Not only all the way round the world, but a chance to see friends from years ago settled in the USA and Australia, to visit the Southern hemisphere; to see some … Continue reading

The Lexus GX 460 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the BMW X6. The Lexus GX 460 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW X6, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.
The BMW X6 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Lexus GX 460, making it more convenient to drive.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Lexus GX 460 is a better financial choice over the BMW X6, when considering MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Lexus GX 460 and the BMW X6 have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Lexus GX 460 is much slimmer than the BMW X6, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Lexus GX 460 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW X6.
With somewhat higher torque, the Lexus GX 460 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the BMW X6.
The Lexus GX 460 has a significantly smaller turning radius than the BMW X6, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
With the Lexus GX 460, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the BMW X6. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Lexus GX 460 and the BMW X6.
The Lexus GX 460 offers greater seating capacity than the BMW X6, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Lexus GX 460 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the BMW X6.
The Lexus GX 460 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the BMW X6.

As a big WoW fan I know alot about Blizzard I can't believe only one person said Diablo II. I mean that is the third best game by them. (WoW then Warcraft III then Diablo II). Also I would like to see a Wii Blizzard game but I don't think we will see one. Although it would be very very interesting..
I cant believe so much ppl ignore about Blizzard!!? How dare you call yourself a gamer?! (if you do lol) Blizzard is surely one of the biggest company in the PC games industry. They made the best RTSs, MMORPG, and a really good RPG.
@RythmGen. They made Diablo serie and a few games on the consoles but they were not as popular. Also, SCG is not yet released and is postpone.
Back to main object; Homocidal, who interviewed Blizzard and said such a stupid thing? Could you give the source?
