Thank you for being sweet to Brandi.
Lisa always knows how to entertain and the SUR tasting was no different. The decor was enchanting and the food was delicious.
The thought of Ken having hip surgery was a little concerning and I know it was scary for Lisa to think of him going through that.
I was happy to see Kim sharing with us about her recovery and to see how well she was doing.
"Bookgate" continues, and I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of it. The tension between Adrienne and Brandi has been building for some time. When Brandi blurted out the very personal issue about Adrienne and her family, we were all stunned. I had no knowledge of whether it was true or false, but I knew it was going to be a real problem for our group.
Thank you for being sweet to Brandi.
That was nice of you to give Brandi a hug goodbye and to defend Brandi to Mauricio!
Have another drink, delusional one! You may think you're fooling us, but it's clear that you're loving any and all negativity towards Brandi.
will not be drinking any of your kool aid sweetie. no amount of PR will change my opinion of you. you are as fake as your lips and your name.
Your comments are laughable. You found it so difficult watching Adrienne and Brandi? .........but there you are making sure you don't miss a thing. Your ugly behavior has far surpassed anything you have witnessed. I guess it wasn't your turn to act like a mental case. If they made you so supper nervous, why not just walk away. Too nosy for that I see.
I think if Brandi was in your corner years ago instead of these other "friends" you would've been less ashamed and more open about the pain you were going thru. Keeping up with this zip code and trying to hold onto this illusion is nipping away at you. So Brandi doesnt have the nicest house or the most zeros in her account but some thing tells me if she had been there when sh*t was hitting the fan she would've called you on it and maybe you needed that then. I hope you and her become friends because you're spirits match
Taylor, while I may not always agree with some of the things you do or say, my heart went out to you as that ugly scene began to unfold, getting louder and escalating...I've been there myself after being in an abusive relationship, the next man who raised his voice to me was stunned to see me cower and raise my arms to cover my face in a knee jerk reaction. Those scars run deep and will take time to heal, but you will heal and grow stronger every day. I love Brandi to death, but I disagree with her regarding your book and the timing of it. Imo anything that can be done to reach out and encourage other women to leave their abusive situations can't come a second too soon. Best to you and your beautiful daughter in the future Taylor! *hugs*
I can't believe these people could actually insult and belittle you after what you have been through. How can you judge someone for how they handle a tragedy, I will never understand that. Who cares if you have said bad stuff about Brandi she attacked and kicked you while you were down. I love that you are on the show. You are very funny and genuine. You always say your true feelings no matter what criticism you face. I would stop watching if you ever left the show.
Just can't let go of your comment at the opening of the show about how you've fought too hard for this zip code to go home now. I think you are WAY out of your league with these ladies. You fit in perfectly with Brandi - you're both awful.
Amongst a heap of nasty comments you have said about Brandi - you did address that no man should attack a woman and call her a b#tch. Not even Kyle or Maurico could muster up that sentiment - which was pathetic on their part. I do believe the show is better with you off of it but at least you did have that sliver of a moment.
I pray that you and Adrienne don't come back next season. Brandi tells it how it is!!! Team Brandi all the way!!!!
Remember who you said Adrienne was your child's Godmother? If yall are so close why wouldn't you send her a text message?
You of all people could have stepped in and said something while Paul was in her face! the fact that no one did..except Brandi's friend- is DISGUSTING! I'm done with this show! your all a bunch of wanna be's..please go back to your old zip code..it's where you belong!
I guess that ...."WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES" did not mean a thing to Paul and Mauricio.
It was sad that one did the verbal abuse and the other just stood there and watched it all go down. Pick some other guys next time who really stand for something and who are not superficial.
I applaud Kim for her sobriety, however, wrong is wrong! If she wanted somebody so bad to say something at the table? Why didn't she? If she wanted to tell Adrienne so bad? Why not go to her house! Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT do it in a public place! She only did that for drama!
Pauls reaction? Unexcusable!Regardless of what was said, reacting that way is totally wrong!
Did I hear Adrianne calling Brandi a "crazy crockpot, drug addict, doing drungs all the time"??
Hope it makes allof you as mad as you all were when it was directed to Kim. Try and excuse that!
BTW: Who asked about situation? Starring the pot much?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. When you get your life back in order Taylor, perhaps people will believe your syrupy comments. Right now I'm not buying it when it's obvious you choose the side you think will benefit you most for the moment.
PS Coal for Brandi? Hold grudges much?
Tay, i agree you looked nervous the first time they showed you during that frightening scene between Brandi & the Maloofs, however when the camera panned out a few moments later you were included in the shot again behind Brandi while Paul was screaming in her face and you were nodding your head. It appeared you were agreeing with what he was saying. why were you nodding? You had definitely lost any look of concern. Also, what does "i fought too hard for this zipcode" mean? Do you feel you couldn't be happy anywhere else? Don't sell your soul for an address.
Paul's verbal abuse was not ok...no matter what the topic is. You were right to stand up for Brandi. Paul & Adrienne are bullies!
"Bookgate" also involved YOU Taylor. When Brandi happily announced her book deal (& only because her agent had called right then), you got an immediate distasteful look on your face & were clearly not happy for her. In fact, you looked downright pissy. Let's face it, you wouldn't throw water on Brandi if she was on fire.
I find myself being Team-Taylor and Team-Brandi this week. (Who knew they would even be on the same team?!) This is a real change for me, but how can you not side with these ladies. Paul and Adrienne were totally out of control. Don't get me wrong, their anger was justified, the way they handled that anger WAS NOT.
I think Brandi and Taylor were the only people at that party who understand that while you can't control other people, you can control 100% of the way you react to other people. Paul and Adrienne have to own 100% of the bullying, argument, and disruption to the party. The fact that it was in response to something Brandi said the previous day is completely irrelevant. Somehow only Taylor was smart enough to figure that out. "Sticking up for your wife" should never come in the form of a man picking a fight with a woman, bullying her or being aggressive and verbally abusive to her. Shame on you, Paul. You're a real d*ck.
Taylor, your response was sweet, caring and authentic. I hope we see more of that from you!
You, "have a feeling"? I think you know. Glad you think Ken's a doll now (vs your opinion last season).
Taylor you have expressed such a sincere desire to be a secure, independent woman and yet I see how diminished you become when the transparent need for attention constantly rears its ugly head. My experience with beautiful smart strong women is that they support each other without deciding each others worthiness, loyalty is automatic. They talk to each other without crafting a response instead of listening, they do not rate each other according to social status, rich or poor is unimportant. There is no competition, no need for it. And when they make a backhanded or catty mistake they take reponsibility, apologize and move on. It would not occur to them to seek revenge. There are women around you like that but you don't see them. We are proud of your tenacity and strength though and wish you well on your journey.
Paul was way out of line. Brandi had no male to bac her up. Paul really needs to stay out of the ladies arguments and let his wife handle any issues that arise. I was hearbroken to see that no one stood upand said, hey Brandi is a lady Paul, regardless of the issues a hand, and you need to walk away with your anger and let Adrienne hande it. But no one did, not even you Taylor. I don't care what Brandi said, it was the wrong place, wrong time and nothing for Paul to handle with his out of control anger. I wante to jump through my TV and defend Brandi. It would have been different if Brandi had a man standing there on her behalf and Paul discussed it with him, but I felt very sorry for Brandi and very mad that everyone stood by and because they don't like Brandi, let Paul verbally abuse her. Just disgusting.
I am not a fan of Taylor's. I did like seeing her concern for Brandi which no one else seemed to be looking out for her. The one thing I took exception to was Taylor making the comment she didn't understand why Brandi just throws things out there when the other person isn't there to defend themselves. Wow, come on, Taylor! You just did that the last three episodes with your mis- quoting of Brandi's comment about how small Beverly Hills is. Also your book, there is no one to dispute it. Not saying it isn't true but there is no one to say it is, but you. I sure hope you keep up your support of Brandi or all of these " fans" might disappear and your blog will go back to hate filled messages.
I'm sure you do have terrible memories of rage. We've all watched you rage on several ocassions. You completely lose it!
Taylor, you reacted in a way that any woman who has experienced the trauma of abuse would. I hope that you continue to get better.
@EllieJ I almost missed it -- But if you re-watch the scene with Paul yelling at Brandi, you will see that Taylor is in the background holding her hands above her ears, rocking back and forth, and looking like she is about to cry. Then afterwards, Taylor immediately told Mauricio it was not Brandi's fault . So I think Taylor was affected by it.
@HerGyrl Beautifully said
this must be the twilight zone. u would stop watching if taylor left the show? LOL thanks for making my day. i was having a horrible day until i read your bovious joke. please taylor leave the show i have been begging you to do so for a while now. please off you go. see ya!!
@Honest_Fun You do realize you are posting this on TAYLOR'S blog???!! Great joke!!
@MeX2I wouldn't compare Tyler and Brandi.. Tyler is annoying, makes my skin crawl. I like Brandi and Lisa, they are people I would be friends with, :)
@TeamBrandi. brandi needs to take her own advice and STFU
@LizyLiz most people make a trusted family member or someone they've known a lifetime their child's Godparent. Not some random rich person they're on a reality TV show with. Poor Shallow Taylor.
@LizyLiz Good Point - I think most ppl want to avoid Adrienne on the war path... We see how ugly she gets.
@housewifefan2012 Wow, what you just said is really good. You are absolutely right. How quickly we all forgot about the charity scene with Paul & Mauricio. But I have to disagree with kat1129 about Taylor stepping in between Brandi and Paul. I am not a Taylor fan, however, it is not woman's place to step in front of an irate man. Mauricio being the host of this event should have stepped in. But we all know he didn't want to lose Nassif or Maloof as clients. As I have said before, Brandi is a non factor to Mauricio. She can't afford his listings.
when did she stand up for brandy?
@MicheleElizabeth umm she did not stand up for Brandi.
@ak1993 "... how she and Mauricio suck up to people with money and can potentially make them money." It is called "Housewives of Beverly Hills," where sucking up is the main game in town. Would anyone watch "Housewives of Normal, Illinois" unless it was their own hometown? Eh--I don't think so. :-)
Very well written! You soundlike someone I would enjoy knowing. Good advice. I would love to see Taylor & Kim do well.
@SCViewer .........OMGosh....I couldn't have said it better myself. YAH!
@SCViewer LOL, if anyone has terrible memories is the viewers because of her rages!
@nursenj I have compassion for what Taylor has gone through and I know full well that during times like these how much kind words help and just how much malicious words hurt. I am not into kicking somebody while they are down so no, none of what I wrote was a joke.
tyler or taylor oh well who cares. she's changed names so many times it could be anything at this point.
@RHOBHfavoriteshowonTV @LizyLiz yep she actually just lied and said Adrienne was her child's Godmother.
@TheresaHamer @housewifefan2012 she cant afford his listings - love it!
@TheresaHamer @housewifefan2012
when a man is in a woman's face degrading her...it is EVERYONE's place to step in. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.
@earthangel @TheresaHamer @housewifefan2012 Yeah, but those in shock probably shouldn't get involved. Not a team member, but she did look shocked.
@earthangel @TheresaHamer @housewifefan2012
Yes, but considering Taylor's history with abuse it would have been extremely difficult for her to step in. It's not like just because Russell is dead the scars are still being felt. She may have just been in shock It was definitely Mauricio's place to do it or Kyle's but we know they needed another reason to blame something on Kim.
@TheresaHamer @earthangel @housewifefan2012 no problem, pray for the children and adults who died today - what a tragedy.
@earthangel @housewifefan2012 I stand corrected.

Welcome to our first ever Goldcrest Trunkshow!
A special selection of precious solid gold, one-off rings. Each one is a unique piece, hand-crafted using the finest gold and gems stones. 50% of the money from the sale of each of these rings will be donated to The Haven. A fantastic charity which provides breast cancer support centres all across the UK.
Keep up to date with new designs and collections from Alex Monroe.
A collection of cute woodland creatures, in typical Alex Monroe style.
All with his unique humourous details. The Chase recalls the childhood game of 'kiss chase'.
Starting life as a sweet tale of innocent love. However, there is also a darker side, as we observe the hunter and its prey!
Crafting beautiful Chrysanthemum flowers with all of his trademark delicacy and detail, Alex has created a sophisticated collection reminiscent of a by-gone era.
A nostalgic nod back to the 1950's when women craved glamour and style after the austerity of the Second World War. Alex wanted to inject a little bit of this sentiment into current times! Citing Grace Kelly as a source of inspiration, the collection is lady-like, with a focus on statement necklaces, big stud earrings and cocktail rings.
Elegant Pearls and glittering white Topaz form details and centre pieces, nestling in amongst the pompom-like flowers. Although not a native flower the Chrysanthemum is a true British classic, here transformed into chic pieces of Alex Monroe jewellery.
A quirky mix of classic British imagery alongside some of Alex's favourite things.
You'll discover Alex's own Sailing Boat and Bicycle, along with Gingerbread men, Foxes, thirsty Blue Tits and spiky Conkers. 'Best of British' is a slightly tongue-in-cheek look at British-ness and English eccentricity, and most importantly, is quintessentially 'Alex Monroe'.
Meander through the British countryside to the sound of bird song. This lively collection brings together many of Alex's Birdlife designs, featuring a flock of swallows, reed warblers, goldcrests, owls and more.
The energy and spirit of our smallest native song birds are captured as the birds perch or fly among the branches and leaves of the summer meadows. Keep an eye out for blue and pink topaz, sapphire and pearls in amongst the birdlife.
The classics are exactly that!
A selection of our favourite pieces from Alex's past collections, hand picked by the Alex Monroe team, and featuring dragonflies, horseshoes, lucky clovers, roses, daisies and much more besides. Whatever the occasion, you'll find the perfect piece of Alex Monroe jewellery here!
A Romantic collection of love tokens and keepsakes.
Initially inspired by imagery of Edwardian courtship, the delicate layering of chains and contrasting of metals and textures lends a modern twist. Although poetic and sentimental, there is also an element of the light-hearted, through delightful pieces that share, reveal and unlock secrets.
Alex has been part of numerous collaborative ventures, working with such luminaries as the Victoria & Albert Museum, who asked Alex to design a limited edition commemorative Locket.
These diverse projects have also included an 18ct Gold Poppy for the British Legion, a 250th anniversary range for Kew Gardens, a bottle for the classic British perfumiers Penhaligon's and a limited edition Ring, and exclusive Necklace with Burt's Bees, both of which raised funds and awareness for the British Beekeepers Association.
More recently Alex has worked with The Goring Hotel to create The Goring Shrimp Necklace, inspired by the afternoon tea with shrimps that he enjoyed as a child.
Exclusive to the Alex Monroe website and boutique, are a selection of silver cufflinks featuring some favourites from Alex's collections.
If you're finding it hard to decide, then an Alex Monroe gift voucher could be the answer.
Beautifully illustrated by our very own Mayo Nomura, the perfect gift for the girl who has
Redeemable exclusively online.
A collection of stunning gemstone rings, with matching twig band rings. The Forest Jewel rings feature checkerboard cut, trillion aquamarines, green and brazilian ametheyst stones.
Our Hoya rings have cushion cut stones to match the Forest Jewels, in a variety of sizes. And finally the Eyebright rings have brilliant cut morganite and diamonds.
A collection inspired by the natural world. A series of stacking rings adorned with posy flowers and diamonds are the key to this personal collection.
Each ring can be worn singly or stacked together to create your own unique combination. Delicate rambling flowers and stones come together to create jewellery that is destined to become future heirlooms.
Pretty and delicate, the range has a vintage feel and is hand crafted in Alex's london workshop, using the finest materials and conflict free diamonds. Available in white gold and platinum by contacting our bespoke department.
Classic Alex Monroe jewellery in 18ct solid gold.

The inaugural honorees were Ned Day (North Las Vegas Valley Times and Las Vegas Review-Journal), Hank Greenspun (Las Vegas Sun) and Guy Richardson (Reno Gazette-Journal), followed by Bob Brown (LVRJ and Valley Times).
It's time for one more: Chandler Atchison Laughlin, Jr., aka Travus T. Hipp.
The longtime Tribune columnist and Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Famer left us on May 18. He was an excellent writer, but in his element of the spoken word, he was peerless. Travus' columns took on a whole new life if you read them aloud.
As I noted earlier, he was an artist who used his voice to soar and slice, a tenor for the tenor of our times. Many of his mourning California listeners talk about the vocal spells he wove, how he soundly organized the noise of daily life into music that entertained, engaged, enlightened, educated, enthralled and occasionally enflamed.
The San Francisco Chronicle finally noted his passing via Ben Fong-Torres' radio column. I tried calling and emailing Rolling Stone to no avail, so I sent newspaper clips via U.S. Postal Service. The bible of rock should take notice of the innovator who ran Virginia City's Red Dog Saloon when it served as the incubator of the San Francisco/Summer of Love sound.
Impact? For one thing, you pay lower auto insurance rates today thanks to a law Travus thought up and got passed in 1987.
I think Travus and Molly Ivins would have gotten along real good.
Glaring exception
Greenspun and Day have been installed in the Nevada Press Association Hall of Fame. Guy Richardson has not, which is reprehensible.
As I wrote when I started the Immortal Ivins BBQ, Guy was by far the best writer of the first three.
As Aesop once advised, if you want something done, do it yourself. So I nominated Guy Richardson a few days ago. I have been gathering endorsements from his fans and former colleagues.
Here are some of Guy's greatest hits from the Barbwire of 2-23-2003: "Why did Willie Nelson cross the road? To sing a duet with the chicken."... "The publicity photo that gets ink is the one that looks expensive."... "One thing you notice about Miss Rodeo America is that she's lawd-a-mighty purty and says what's on her mind: 'If that steer isn't in this rodeo, it's in McDonald's.'"... "Sex is not the answer. Yes is the answer. Sex is the question!" (Jim Stafford)..."Seen those candidate signs around town promoting 'fiscal vigilance?' Imagine a woman asking 'have you tried fiscal vigilance with your husband?'"... "Facing down stiff competition on St. Patrick's Day, Andy Barbano came up with a killer promotion for Del Mar Station Bar - bring in a head of cabbage and get a free green beer. 'Erin Go Braghless!' exulted Betty Barbano."
Barbwire by Barbano got started in 1987 when a magazine publisher asked Guy if he knew somebody who could write a good column. So you can blame him for me.
Say hi to Travus and Guy
Word just arrived that killer commentator Alexander Cockburn (pronounced "Coburn") died Friday in Germany at age 71 after a private two-year battle with cancer. Cockburn was co-editor of the political newsletter Counterpunch and a longtime contributor to The Nation. Another great liberal voice stilled.
Scene of the crime
The Koch Brothers' Americans for Billionaires' Prosperity tour bus stops in Reno at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the southeast corner of S. Virginia Street and Moana Lane, the shopping center north of the Atlantis Hotel. If you're not doing anything of great social significance (the San Francisco Giants game doesn't start until 7:15), show up to picket the thing.
Don't let them throw Nevada under the bus. For more information, call Gail Dietrich at 775-622-6659 or Dan Venters 775-842-5876 at the Nevada Alliance for Retired Americans.
The retiree organization just launched a new entity, Women of Washoe. It is the first of many womens' rights affiliates to be established nationwide. Watch NevadaLabor.com for updates. To join, call Ms. Dietrich at the above number.
She's OK
Country-folk legend Anne Feeney, 61, was hospitalized in Oregon and had to scratch her show in Reno last Tuesday.
"My blood pressure was 78 over 22," she told me from Brooklyn, NY. She lost consciousness last Monday and was rushed to ICU with a serious kidney infection. Against doctors' orders, she still flew to San Francisco to perform at the annual LaborFest.
"I hate to miss a performance," she stated. I told her to get well and we hope that America's greatest living labor folk singer can perform in these parts sometime soon.
Imminent death is about the only thing that can keep her offstage.
"When I was diagnosed with cancer in August of 2010, I still did my last show in Sweden," she said.
That type of attitude adds irony to my favorite Feeney union song, "We Just Come to Work Here, We Don't Come to Die."
Support the Nevada Citizen TV Project
To re-establish a non-corporate community channel, contact me or donate at ReSurge.TV. We are getting close to launch. It's important.
Be well. Raise hell.
Andrew Barbano is a 43-year Nevadan and editor of NevadaLabor.com. Barbwire by Barbano has originated in the Tribune since 1988. He can be contacted at email@example.com.

I have thought of a few good tactics, such as Safe Guard and Outrage/Petal Dance/Thrash (avoids confusion ailment) Mimic and Imprison (permanent Disables last move) Swagger/Flatter and Psych Up/Haze (either gives you upped stats or resets theirs) Defense Curl followed by Roll Out (makes roll out stronger) Rain Dance and Thunder (Thunder never misses) Belly Drum and Rest (works best with a chesto berry. Maximizes attack) Sunny Day and Solar Beam (solar beam no longer needs to charge) Endure and Flail/Reversal (makes the attack moves really strong compared to normal) What are some of the best move combos that you have found so far? :D Explain your choices, and why they make good combos.

Zoroark/Life Orb EVs: 252 special attack, 252 speed, 4 HP Nature: timid Ability: illusion Moves: Nasty plot (boosts for sweeping) Dark pulse (STAB, more reliable than night daze) Focus blast Hidden power ice (coverage) The trick here is that you set up your team so that zoroark will be disguised as a Toxicroak, which is pretty much the perfect pokemon for zoroark to look like. With toxicroak's 4X weakness to psychic, and zoroark's immunity to it, you are often able to set up with nasty plot and use dark pulse to belt the fool who switched in with a psychic type. Also, HP ice covers all of toxicroak's non-psychic weaknesses, effectively murdering anything that switches in on zoroark for what they believe is a type advantage. One more thing that makes this strategy ruthless is that Toxicroak can learn all of the moves in this set, leaving less suspicion as to whether it is an actual Toxicroak. answered Aug 29, 2012 by |SentByRavens| edited Aug 29, 2012 by |SentByRavens| Dude, that's a Toxicroak....... commented Aug 29, 2012 by Pokemod3 You already have one person fooled it seems.

Have one Pokemon such as charizard with belly drum and max speed. Then have another polemon with follow me holding focus sash That gives Bellyzard a chance to use belly drum then use a powerfully move next turn without the chance of being killed the first turn unless the foes quiker. Then Bellyzard uses moves such as earthquake paired up with a flying or levitating Pokemon. These two could work alright i would recomend if using this strat to have maybe two follow me pokemon one for setup and one such as Togekiss that can support charizard on low health as well as dodge its earthquakes. Other pokemon work well. answered Mar 15, 2012 by Blobyolo edited Mar 15, 2012 by Blobyolo pokemon not polemon commented Apr 29, 2012 by CRAZED Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Double Battle Strategy: Use This With A Poke'mon That Knows Spite.

This is a Double Battle Strategy!! First, you get Exeggutor with Harvest & then your choice of Groudon or Ninetales(Drought). Exeggutor (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Harvest EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Skill Swap - SolarBeam - Stun Spore - Psychic Ninetales (M) @ Custap Berry Trait: Drought EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd IVs: 0 HP 0 Def 0 SpDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Endure - Dark Pulse - Flamethrower - SolarBeam Groudon @ Custap Berry Trait: Drought EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd IVs: 0 HP 0 Def 0 SpDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Endure - Hammer Arm - Stone Edge - Earthquake So here is what you do: You send out Exeggutor and, for now, Ninetales. Ninetales uses Endure while Exeggutor uses Skill Swap on Ninetales(weather is already set up, so it won't matter.) Now, Ninetales has Harvest. Most likely, people want to take out weather leads, so it is knocked down to 1 HP or whatever as long as it is below 25%. Exeggutor is done. Now, next turn, Ninetales' Custap Berry will activate allowing it to go first. With Harvest, it will get the berry back every turn(as long as it is Sunny). Give it any attacks you think are good. BEWARE OF PRIORITY!! This can work on any Pokemon that can learn Endure. I just chose Ninetales & Groudon because of the instant sun. So if you choose a non-Drought Pokemon, setup sun beforehand. Try using a Pokemon with low overall bulk. Groudon might not work too well because of his natural bulk, but hey. answered Jul 6, 2012 by 5th of November edited Aug 29, 2012 by Pokemaster I like that Ninetales has Flash Fire :P commented Jul 6, 2012 by Mewderator Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Good for stealing other teams advantages 1.Have a pokemon that has skill swap 2.You just so happened to run into a rain/hail/sand storm/sun team 3.wait until he switches some of his pokemon that can gain stats in certain weathers like swift swim/sand rush/snow cloak/solar power 4.use skill swap and BAM!! you ended up getting the advantage The chances of success are very low but higher in certain tiers like NU NOTE:make sure the pokemon with skill swap can take some hit just in case their pokemon is faster than you and can hit hard answered Jul 8, 2012 by A Very Nice Guy Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes The cruel Thief + Fling.

Only listening to the single for now.
First listen I hated it...'specially the guitar riff in the beginning that needs to be redone with accurate pitches.
Now, I really enjoy it, but I still hate that riff.
i haven't listened to it yet.
the single is ok, but i haven't been blown away by the rest of the songs i've heard.
I think that single is pretty awesome.
It feels a little out of place on the album though.
Other tracks I'm really enjoying are "Machu Picchu," "Taken For a Fool," "You're So Right," and "Life is Simple in the Moonlight"
But I have to say this album is reallly different for them and I can see a lot of fans of their earlier stuff not being into it.
It sounds like someone sent the Strokes to 1985 in a time machine, and I'm pretty ok with that.
fluck said:
i haven't listened to it yet.
the single is ok, but i haven't been blown away by the rest of the songs i've heard.
it's eh. i like their old stuff better.
I would not rate it higher than Is This It by any stretch of the imagination, but the first 6 tracks are killer, as is the closer. It kinda drags for me in the second half to be honest.
Though I dig Gratisfaction too.
I think its awesome. After the third listen, it really is great. LOVE Julian Casablancas, i would marry him.
But i would probably rank it....
Is This It (9.5)
Room on Fire (8.5)
Angles (8)
First Impressions (6.5)
Also, this strokes video is pretty awesome....

Every week on Food52, chef/photojournalist/farmer/father figure Tom Hirschfeld features his stunning photography and Indiana farmhouse family meals.
Today: The slow art of fried chicken -- with 12 tips and a master recipe.
Frying chicken, at its best, is a state of mind formed much in the same way as the quiet back beats of a porch-sitting session with a dear friend. It has a rhythm. It is good company on a sunny summer afternoon. It is pointless to rush. Futile, even. Besides, the comfort of a good friend comes from the effortlessness of meaningful conversation and is further heightened by the knowledge you have nothing you would rather do.
First you need to confront yourself; if you are in a hurry to fry chicken you should consider cooking something else. It is not a preparation to be hurried. The dinner will be ruined, even if the chicken is cooked perfectly. It is slow food -- not because it takes forever to prepare, but rather because of the enjoyment of cooking and anticipation of the dinner to come. It is why fried chicken is the perfect summer Sunday meal.
Forget the notion of heavy-handed sides like mashed potatoes or mac and cheese. Even biscuits are not required. You will forget about them anyway once you realize they aren't nearly as good as the side dishes you can make with the fresh vegetables you picked up earlier that morning from the farmers market or, better yet, your own garden.
Think about a table set with a buttery succotash thick with sweet corn kernels fresh off the cob, fresh Lima beans patina-ed the color of a milky Key lime pie, and seasoned with green onions and lots of black pepper. Or how about stacks of salted thick sliced tomatoes, a vinegary leafy green salad, a bowl of roasted beets laced with fresh herbs, heady with aroma, or even a creamy cucumber salad with onions sliced paper thin. Trust me, there is room for all of them at the table.
From the first bite into the tender crust followed by the wonderful fatty juices of a well raised bird, I like to eat my fried chicken dinner much like lunches as experienced in the French countryside, with a healthy measure of friendship and the leisure of not knowing the time.
1. Pick a bird that is no bigger than 3 1/2 pounds. Anything over this size really isn't meant to be fried. To me, a 3-pound bird is perfect.
2. To ensure the breasts don't overcook and become too dry, cut the double lobed breast into three. (Take note of the picture of the raw chicken above.)
3. In my opinion, wet brining does nothing for chicken but change the texture of the chicken to be more like ham. I am not a fan.
4. If you have a source for good chicken, why cover up the taste of a great bird with lots of unnecessary flavors?
5. To retain moisture, I use the Russ Parsons/Judy Rodgers method of dry brining as a guide and salt the chicken the night before, or at least 2 hours before frying.
6. You don't need a deep fryer to make great fried chicken. A high-sided Dutch oven or cast iron pot (not pan) is fine. Fill the bottom with peanut oil about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in depth. It should come up the sides of the pot no more than a third. When you add the chicken, the oil level will rise.
7. After you flour coat the chicken the second time, let the chicken rest on a rack for twenty minutes to form a crust before you fry it. This also allows the chicken to warm to room temperature which will help it to cook through. Use the time to finish any sides.
8. Your oven is your best friend here. Fried chicken is meant to rest before it is eaten. In turn, I don't worry too much about interior doneness because I always keep the chicken in a 250˚ F oven. I let it rest in there about twenty minutes, which allows time for it to finish cooking, remain crispy, and lets me finish any side dishes too.
9. Don't forget to fry up the giblets too -- I always throw in extras. Serve them with a side of wing sauce. You'll be happy you did.
10. Choose lots of sides that can be made ahead of time so when you go to fry the chicken, there is nothing else to think about.
11. Gluten-free flours such as Cup4Cup make for a crispier crust. If you are going to use wheat flour, add a 1/4 cup of cornstarch to the flour to crisp up the crust.
12. Take your time, don't short cut anything, and give the chicken lots of room. Enjoy yourself, frying chicken is fun!
Serves 6 to 8
2 chickens, around 3 pounds each, each chicken cut into 9 pieces
2 cups gluten-free flour or all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch (optional, it is used for a crispier crust)
1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups peanut oil
2 slices pancetta, 1/16-inch thick (this adds a really nice subtle flavor to the finished product)
1. After you have cut up your chicken, place it in a tray or on a sheet pan with sides. Season it on all sides with kosher salt. Place it back into the fridge for at least 2 hours to overnight.
2. When you are ready to fry the chicken, combine the flour, cornstarch, dried seasonings, salt, and pepper in a large plastic or paper bag. Give it a shake to mix.
3. Work with three pieces of chicken at a time. Place the first three pieces into the flour. Close the bag and shake it around until the chicken is coated evenly. Before you remove the chicken to a cooling rack give it a gently shake to rid it of excess flour. Continue with the first flour coat until all the pieces are floured.
4. Again, working with three pieces at a time dip the first three pieces of chicken into the egg wash( the buttermilk and egg whisked together). Make sure they are coated on all sides. Remove them from the wash and place them into the flour bag. Gently shake and roll them until they are fully coated for the second time. Remove them to a cooling rack once more. Continue until you have finished with all the pieces. Now let the flour-coated chicken rest for 20 minutes to form a crust.
5. Turn your oven to 250˚ F.
6. Place the pot over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and oil. You can use a deep fry thermometer but I never really find them accurate unless you can submerge then at least 2 inches up the stem. The pancetta is your canary in a coal mine. As the oil heats it will begin to bubble. It will get you close to the right oil temperature but then you need to go with the crouton method. In other words I take a piece of bread, pinch off a corner and drop it into the oil. If the oil is hot enough the bread will sink almost to the bottom but before it gets there the bubbles that have formed from the hot oil will carry it back to the top. If the bread sinks to the bottom and rests, gets a few bubbles and then slowly rises, the oil isn't hot enough. On the other hand if the bread hits the surface of the oil and it looks immediately like it is surfing a volcano then the oil is way too hot -- remove the pot from the heat, let it cool for a few minutes then place it back on the heat and test again.
7. Remove the pancetta when it is crispy.
8. When the oil is right, begin frying 5 to 7 pieces of chicken at a time. Just be sure to give the chicken some room. This, of course, is a common sense moment. It all depends on the size of your pot -- you be the judge. Just realize if you crowd the chicken, the crust will cook together and you either have one big piece of fried chicken or you'll have to break off pieces of the crust, which is less than desirable.
9. After you place the chicken into the pot, let it sit for 15 to 30 seconds before you attempt to turn it. This moment of time allows the crust to set so when you go to turn it the crust doesn't fall off.
10. Turn the chicken as necessary. If by chance your oil has not risen above the chicken you will need to turn it more often but by no means add oil after you have begun frying.
11. Brown the chicken on all sides. Once it has browned, remove it to a tray with a cooling rack and place it immediately into the heated oven.
12. After the last batch of chicken goes into the oven, let all of it rest in there for 15 to 20 minutes. Finish any sides that need it, dress the salads, and get everything to the table. Platter up the bird and serve.

A note from Jessica - Developer of California Baby:
"We all have dry and sensitive skin at some point during the winter season and frequent hand washing might be a little inconvenient and so we reach for the hand cream a little more often. But for those with eczema or dermatitis, hand washing is a serious scaly weeping skin ordeal. California Baby's customers report their California Baby Calendula Cream is the only thing that helps heal their skin. This Calendula Hand Cleanser is for anyone who needs extra moisturizing and healing, which the calendula flower does in spades! Beautifully scented with our signature California Baby Calming blend making hand washing a positive and relaxing experience."For Grownups:
I have food allergies and am following a restricted diet. What products are appropriate for my use?California Baby products are free from common allergens such as milk, egg, peanut, walnut, cashew, almond and pecans, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. California Baby products are also free of ingredients that cause irritation or provoke allergic reactions—highest on the list is synthetic fragrances, which may contain phthalates and other irritants. To ensure purity, California Baby's essential oils are tested for synthetic contaminants and pesticide residue.California Baby suggests that you always do a patch test before use.
Here's how: apply a small amount of the product to the inside of the wrist right before bedtime. In the morning look at the area for any redness, itchiness or any sign of irritation. Do this for 7 days. If you are sensitive to a product it is likely to show up during this test.Are your products non-comedogenic?This term refers to ingredients in beauty products that clog the pores and can cause blackheads, pimples or cosmetic-related acne. California Baby does not use potentially comedogenic, non-natural ingredients like mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin and dyes that are commonly found in other personal care products. Are your products safe for pregnant women to use?California Baby Super Sensitive products (no fragrance) are an excellent choice for use during pregnancy. California Baby recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with our products, or any other line of products. I am a Vegan. What products can I use?All California Baby products start with a vegetarian point of view. California Baby makes two products that utilize animal ingredients: California Baby Diaper Rash Cream contains an ultra-purified lanolin and our sunblock sticks contain beeswax. The choice was made to use lanolin and beeswax as water barriers instead of the typical (cheaper and cruder) petroleum and fish oil alternatives. Lanolin is extracted from the wool of the sheep and is not considered a body fat. Beeswax is hypoallergenic and is considered acceptable by many vegetarians. Do you test on animals?California Baby does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals.Do you use organic ingredients? Are any of your products certified organic?A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby: "At California Baby, we believe that a personal care product that is natural, safe and sustainable is more beneficial to our consumers and the planet than simply bearing an organic seal—the current USDA organic seal is designed for food—not personal care; the safety and efficacy of all the ingredients (active and inactive) are not the primary objective of the code, which we feel should be an important component of any cosmetics standard. After all, personal hygiene products are not food. Currently there are a few new personal care organic standards being developed, and California Baby is on the forefront of developments and will keep you posted.From day one (1995), California Baby has always purchased organic ingredients and we continue to always to "look to buy organic." But we also have our own—very stringent guidelines—and the two don't always coalesce. For instance, we require that our vegetable oils not be processed in a facility that also processes nuts. The oils may be available organically but if they are processed in a facility that also processes nuts—this is not acceptable to us. This is just once instance where organic is not the better choice for us."Jessica, the developer of California Baby has served on the steering committee of the new Natural Standard backed by the Natural Products Association (NPA) and we comment frequently on organic rule making message boards. California Baby ensures that the standards remain stringent yet progressive so that they help to shape regulations on a state and national level.

I have been working at T. Rowe Price full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Lots of career options. Support to explore different areas(varies by manager and organization) but overall supportive. Excellent training and continuing education. Good benefits like 401 k, stock, matching, profit sharing. Strong company reputation.
Cons – As a supervisor I have seen how things have changed from when I was an associate. In talking with my peers we all feel the same. We are no longer valued. A little more value is given to associates, but this is only because they get recognition. We are expected to be here no matter what. Holidays, weekends, severe weather events. The decision to be here 1/1/13 and just sit here with little to no work vs. give a tired and beat down staff some time off speaks volumes. When other sites close in these conditions we are expected to risk life and limb to get here. I have heard stories about the treatment of associates during recent severe weather events and it is upsetting. This is truly a great company I still believe that and I know there are still great leaders. I have a good network and see how other parts of the org are running under leaders that see their people as humans and care about them.
Advice to Senior Management – Please get more involved in this area. There are good people here. We care about the business and our people.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

The resolution of child custody and visitation disputes requires parents to act rationally in their child's best interests at a time when they are often facing overwhelming stress. Knowledgeable advice and skilled representation from an experienced
Phoenix divorce attorney can assist you in your pursuit of a fair custody arrangement. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart represent mothers and fathers, divorcing parents, relocating parents, and unmarried parents on the full range of legal issues relating to child custody and visitation in Arizona.
Custody is split into two aspects, physical and legal. The court determines or approves physical and legal custody arrangements for each child:
Physical and legal child custody can be apportioned in one of two ways:
When parents cannot come to an agreement, then the court will decide the custody matters for them. The judge considers a range of factors including the child's age, the time each parent spends with the child, the stability of the parents, any child abuse and neglect, any drug or alcohol problems, and more. In other words, a significant part of your life will become evidence in determining your future parenting opportunities - your past history may be used to predict future behavior. The court will make its custody decisions based on what is in the best interests of the child. The judge has broad discretion in deciding custody matters and will weigh many factors.
Child custody in Arizona is best settled by voluntary agreement between the parents, and the relatively low number of child custody disputes decided in the courtroom reflects that fact. The parents know it, the attorneys know it, the judge knows it, and the family court process encourages it. There is a lot to consider, of course, when it comes to making custody decisions. There are practical matters, financial considerations, and emotional realities. To help you along, here are a few answers to frequently asked questions about custody matters:
Can I modify the terms of child custody?
Once custody has been established through agreement or court order, parents may seek court involvement to modify the established arrangement. To support a modification request, the parent seeking the modification must show a substantial change in circumstances. A modification request made within less than one year of the original custody determination will only be considered by the court if the child is endangered by the custody arrangement. Additionally, states that follow the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act will only consider requests for modification if they occur in the state in which a child has an established residence in order to prevent forum shopping and custody-motivated child removals.
How can you improve your chances of gaining custody?
Remember that it is never too late to become a good parent and a better parent. If your actions have been less than model, however, then modify your less-desirable behavior with respect to the child. Do additional things to improve your parenting skills and your reliability. Start making those positive changes immediately and keep improving yourself. Recent, more-extensive involvement with your child, for instance, may help balance out a history of infrequent closeness or absenteeism in the child's life.
Can the child decide who to live with?
In Arizona, a minor child is not allowed to choose which parent he or she wants to live with upon his or her parents' divorce. Children do not always know what is best for them and they frequently change their minds. Furthermore, making such an important decision puts too much pressure on the child. That is not to say, however, that the child's desires are ignored. The child's wishes for the residential parent are considered but are not determinative.
If you have questions about child custody, your rights, and how our legal team may be of assistance with your personal case, bring your case the attention of our firm. We serve residents throughout Phoenix and the surrounding communities of Arizona. We also have offices located in Scottsdale, Peoria, and Chandler.

Austin >Lodging > Holiday Inn Austin-Town Lake
20 North Ih-35, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.253666 -97.737382
Open Daily 24 Hours ; Open Holidays
Neighborhoods: East Cesar Chavez
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
For more than 50 years, this hotel's familiar green sign has signaled budget-friendly lodging for families and business travelers. – In Short
Since its 1952 debut in Memphis, Tenn., Holiday Inn has become one of the most recognized hotel brands in the world. Kids rule here: Children age 19 and younger stay for free when sharing a parent's room and as many as four children per family (age 12 or younger) eat for free at hotel restaurants. Other amenities include 24-hour business services, an in-room coffeemaker, iron, hair dryer, room service, a swimming pool and a fitness center.
Great value – My wife and I spent most of the last week of July here and were pleased with our stay. We were in room 1140, and the accomodation of space and quiet was excellent. The view was great as well. The location is very close to the bohemian activity that is centered around Sixth Street and the University. The breakfast option in the room rate is a good value; you need not opt for the buffet, but you can order from the regular menu as well.
right downtown – Stay here and you can walk to everywhere you need to. It's close to everything and is pretty nice and clean also. Gets really crowded during UT home games, but that makes it fun.
january fun – Me and my fellow flight attendents have stayed here when in town because of the value and location. Now for an added treat, we gals are treated to the rowing team every January!!
We love you ED!!!
good and safe – A girlfriend of mine and I went to Austin for the weekend without a place to stay ahead of time. We wanted to be near downtown, but had a tight budget at the same time. Checked out a few places and chose to stay at the Holiday Inn Town Lake.
Felt very secure and safe and the rooms were comfortable and clean. Front desk staff is friendly and accomodating. Free parking was great and the complimentary shuttle took us to sixth street for the night and it was only a $4 cab trip back.
The only meal we had there was breakfast, had the buffet which was already tired and stale at 9am. They made us each fresh eggs to our specifications, however, which made it better. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive place to stay in Austin, I would definitely recommend this place.
Piece of History – It may not be the most luxurious hotel...but the staff is friendly. I have no complaints about this hotel my friends and family stay here when we travel to Austin. It seems to have history as a part of Austin and in my parents life...they meet at UT and spend many night at the Holiday Inn, we find it to be traditional and comfortable.
Great Value – Really enjoyed our stay. The staff was great! Our room overlooking the lake was very spacious and we really enjoyed the views. We will stay at the Holiday Inn the next time we are in town.
Best Lake Views – Very romantic views of Town Lake. Great pool and hot tub.

Pilsner Urquell celebrates 167th anniversary by brewing for Olympic games in Vancouver (Translation)
8 October 2009
Plzeň, October 7, 2009 - Traditional Czech lager Pilsner Urquell was born in Plzeň on October 5, 1842, and its taste, colour and quality was so distinctly different from beers of the time that it gave a name to the world-renowned style of beer, pils or pilsner. This type of beer now makes up 70 percent of world beer production and consumption. As a tribute to the fame that the Plzeň beer has in the beer industry around the world, during the 167th anniversary celebrations of the brand, brewers brewed an "Olympic" batch of Pilsner Urquell for the Winter Olympic Games 2010 in Vancouver. Representing Czech Olympic athletes during the brewing process was a hockey player, Martin Straka.
As a partner of the Czech Olympic team, Pilsner Urquell has been, for a number of years, an inseparable part of the lives of Olympic athletes and of their fans during the games. The batch of the brewed lager from Plzeň which will be consumed during the Winter Olympic Games 2010 in Vancouver, Canada, was brewed in the Plzeň brewery on October 6, under the watch of an Olympic hockey player, Martin Straka. "It was interesting to be looking at the hands of brewers at the exact time when the beer was born 167 years ago. In any case, everything went well today, and to be sure, I will taste the beer brewed for the Olympics, before the barrels head for Canada," says hockey player Martin Straka.
"While during the last winter Olympics in Turin, people drank 80 barrels of Pilsner Urquell, we will send 120 barrels to Vancouver and about 200 cartons of beer cans. We are expecting bigger consumption than last time, since the Olympic house will be bigger and also there is a considerably large Czech community in Canada, which will most probably visit the house," says Karel Kraus, brand manager of the Pilsner Urquell brand.
An isothermal container with Olympic beer will start its journey in Plzeň, in the second half of November, first to Hamburg and then by boat to Vancouver. It will also bring a lot of equipment necessary to correctly serve beer from Plzeň from a tap, including all the necessary technology and other useful accessories (glasses, coasters, table clothes, etc.).

Notes to editors:
- With total sales of 10.7 million hectolitres in the 2008 calendar year (including licensed production abroad) and with export to more than 50 countries, Plzeňský Prazdroj is the biggest producer of beer in the region and the biggest exporter of Czech beer.
- Plzeňský Prazdroj, a. s., is a member of the SABMiller PLC Pilsner Urquell global group. It is an international flagship of the SABMiller portfolio of brands.
- SABMiller PLC is one of the biggest beer companies in the world, with activities and distribution in more than 60 countries on six continents. SABMiller's brands include important international brands such as Miller Genuine Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Pilsner Urquell, and close to 200 successful regional and national brands.

Military Working Dog Adoptions
The United States military spends countless amounts of money and hours training our soldiers to the highest of standards; well they do the same with the Military Working Dog (MWD). I don't know a lot about MWD's, but I do know that they receive...
Canines are one of the best partners that we can have. I don't want to sound demeaning, but they are also a great tool. The nose of a canine can sniff out suspects, drugs and explosives. Agencies around the world tend to spend thousands of dollars for a canine, most of the time that doesn't include any training. What if there was a way to reduce the initial cost of acquiring a canine and training, which in this economy and reduced budgets that would be a big deal to the administrators.
The United States military spends countless amounts of money and hours training our soldiers to the highest of standards; well they do the same with the Military Working Dog (MWD). I don't know a lot about MWD's, but I do know that they receive obedience training and then whatever training for a specific discipline, like explosives, some may have apprehension training, just like police canines. With the military engagements that the U.S. has been in in the last 10 years or so, I'm sure many of the MWD's returning from the front lines, have explosives training. Why does this matter, according to 106th Congress 2d Session H.R. 5314, "The Secretary of Defense shall make a MWD of the Department of Defense available for adoption by a person or entity (law enforcement agencies, former handlers of these dogs, and other persons capable of humanely caring for these dogs) at the end of the dog's useful working life or when the dog is otherwise excess to the needs of the Department, unless the dog has been determined to be unsuitable for adoption."
You may ask how old these MWD's are when they are taken out of service, well much of what I have dug up online, many of them are only a few years old, which leave plenty of working years in left in them. Sometimes it is health issues or injuries that take them out of service, which would still make them a great pet, but I'm talking more about continuing their service life. Why they take some of them out of service when there are no apparent health issues or injuries, who knows, but there are many returning MWD's that would be prime candidates to be Police Canines. Just think you could get a MWD for almost nothing except the expense of traveling to select the MWD you want and transporting it back.
So you have adopted a highly trained MWD, now what? Well now you need to assign it a handler and start training. Most likely you wouldn't have to go through the entire training course with it, but more so of getting the handler familiar with the canine and the canine familiar with the handler. Of course you're going to want to test it to make sure all of its obedience is spot on and test any other training it may have received. Then you need to get the canine certified as you would any other police canine.
Once you adopt a MWD, it could be matter of a few weeks before it is working the streets with a new handler and 10's of thousands of dollars saved. Compare that to a green canine that you're going to spend thousands of dollars on to get, several more thousand if not more than 10 thousand dollars and several months on training, for a canine that may wash out of the program. As stated before, we know how stringent the military standards are, so if a MWD wasn't washed out of the training, there is a much higher probability that it won't wash out of police training compared to a green canine.
For police administrators, adopting a MWD should make a lot of sense; the MWD isn't getting euthanized, your agency is saving a lot of time and money. And, for those agencies that have their own kennels and canine breeding program, MWD's would be excellent choices to add to the program.
For more information on adopting a Military Working Dog, here are a few resources:
- U.S. Government Printing Office – 106th Congress 2d Session H.R. 5314
- The United States War Dogs Association, Inc.
- Military Working Dog Adoptions
Stay Safe!
