Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is one of a group of disorders known as the Osteochondroses. The Osteochondroses typically are characterized by degeneration (avascular necrosis) and subsequent regeneration of the growing end of a bone (epiphyses). In Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, the growing end (epiphysis) of the upper portion (capital) of the thigh bone (femur) is affected. Researchers believe that an unexplained interruption of the blood supply (ischemia) to the capital femoral epiphysis results in degeneration (avascular necrosis) and deformity of the thigh bone in this area. Symptoms may include a limp with or without pain in the hip, knee, thigh, and/or groin; muscle spasms; delayed maturation of the femur (delayed bone age); mild short stature; and/or limited movements of the affected hip. The disease process seems to be self-limiting as new blood supplies are established (revascularization) and new healthy bone forms (reossifies) in the affected area. Most cases of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease occur randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically).

It should be no wonder that members of rural communities take great pride and pleasure to voice their concerns about the federal, state and municipal agendas. Certainly, to be inclusive of campaign strategies and related ethics. Should the complexities of campaign business have influenced candidates at the rural stratum so much? It seems to me that the capitalistic features, i.e., monetary donations, disbursements and being acknowledged by individuals and circles of note (at higher government), have significance, and have made quite an impression upon the citizenry of rural U.S.A.
Perhaps a more idyllic scenario could be imagined where a candidate would be presented as a well-educated, well-versed gentleperson who would seek incumbency without the financial assurances of party treasuries, business and corporate gifts or influential persona for image strengthening. Instead, this candidate would not refuse assistance from close friends and family members (albeit, to exclude their donations if personal business-related).
It would do this candidate well to consider the challenge, provided that personal funds are readily available, as bank loans are usually pursued for emergency situations and casual expenditures could render indebtedness and stir up some bad kharma.
Introducing oneself door-to-door would only require a dependable vehicle and gas budget. One thorough interview with the local newspaper would suffice.
The campaign methods should be rather simplistic, with more emphasis on forthcoming professional responsibilities and publicly stating socio-political concerns within rural U.S.A. Such efforts should be received as a newsworthy venture.

STOCKTON - Lincoln Unified Superintendent Tom Uslan has presented a proposal to establish geographic trustee areas that, if adopted, would guarantee representation for citizens from throughout the school district. A vote on the proposal could be held in a little more than two months.
STOCKTON - Lincoln Unified Superintendent Tom Uslan has presented a proposal to establish geographic trustee areas that, if adopted, would guarantee representation for citizens from throughout the school district. A vote on the proposal could be held in a little more than two months.
Currently, four of the five board members live west of Interstate 5 in the Brookside and Lincoln Village West neighborhoods, even though about 60 percent of district residents live east of the freeway. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Brookside and Lincoln Village West are more affluent and less diverse than the rest of the district.
Wednesday night, Uslan released a map outlining five proposed trustee areas, each with about 9,000 residents, 6,000 of voting age.
After Uslan's presentation, the board unanimously voted to hear public comment on the matter at the next three board meetings, with a possible vote at the May 8 meeting at Mable Barron Elementary.
If the proposed map is approved, the areas west of the freeway would be guaranteed two board members. Uslan said the map could still be "tinkered with."
"There is room for board input and public input in the coming weeks on what the map might look like," Uslan said.
Of the five largest unified school districts in San Joaquin County - Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Tracy and Lincoln - only Lincoln and Tracy choose their board members in at-large elections.
In 2001, the California Voting Rights Act made school districts and other government entities that use at-large election systems vulnerable to legal attack. In some cases, lawsuits have cost school districts and other governments sizable sums of money.
Advocates for trustee areas argue it is a more democratic system than at-large elections. They say trustee areas can lead to greater diversity on government bodies and also make it less expensive for candidates to run for office.
Board members who spoke on the matter Wednesday were supportive of the proposal, though they said they believe all the current trustees do a good job representing the needs of all of the district's 8,000 students.
"Our board has always worked for every student in Lincoln Unified," board President Susan Lenz said. "I don't feel anyone because they live near a school has ever favored that school."
Trustee Don Ruhstaller added, "I think this is a good starting point. My concern is we all remember ... we have to continue representing every student."
If adopted, area voting would begin in 2014, the next regularly scheduled Lincoln elections. None of the current board members would be affected.

AUBURN HILLS � The Chicago Bulls felt they played only two quarters of defense Wednesday night.
That was all they needed to beat the Detroit Pistons 99-79 and end a four-game losing streak.
The Pistons led 53-51 at the half, but Chicago only allowed 26 second-half points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, as they pulled away for the easy win.
"They made some shots in the first half, but I liked the way we were playing offensively," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "In the second half, we got our defensive intensity going."
Chicago's defense was at its best in the fourth quarter, where the Pistons went scoreless on 10 straight possessions. Jonas Jerebko's jumper had pulled Detroit to 80-75 with 8:39 left, but the Bulls didn't allow another basket until Gigi Datome's jumper made it 99-77 with 1:31 to go.
"This has been a tough road trip for us," said Kirk Hinrich. "We played to our strengths tonight, we really competed defensively in the second half and we got one in the win column.
Detroit shot 27.8 percent in the second half, missed all six 3-point attempts, went 6 of 13 from the line and turned the ball over nine times.
"They were obviously a lot better in the second half than they had been in the first half," Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said. "We couldn't score the ball, and a lot of that was because of their defense."
Luol Deng led the Bulls with 27 points, while reserve Taj Gibson had a career-high 23. Tony Snell, making the first start of his career, added 13 points in 37 minutes.
"When I heard I was in the starting lineup, I just told myself to play my game and not rush anything," he said. "All the hours I've put in, working hard in the gym, were so that I'd be ready for this."
Rodney Stuckey finished with 25 off the bench for Detroit but no one else had more than 13. Josh Smith had 13 points and 11 rebounds and Andre Drummond had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Pistons.
Point guards Brandon Jennings and Will Bynum combined for two points on 1-for-8 shooting in the second half.
"We certainly needed some scoring from Brandon and Bynum," Cheeks said. "If you don't get anything from either of them, you are going to have a hard time."
Bulls pull away in 4th over Pistons

Introducing The Next Box: Spring 1990!
And now for something a little different. This year's box set - Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 - offers six complete shows from the epic spring '90 tour, one concert from each city the band played, personally selected by Dead vaultmeister and archival release producer David Lemieux. The sizzling six are: 3/16/90 Capital Centre (Landover , MD), 3/19/90 Hartford Civic Center, 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum (Hamilton, Ontario), 3/26/90 Knickerbocker Arena (Albany, NY), 3/30/90 Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY) and 4/2/90 The Omni (Atlanta, GA).
In his "Producer's Note" in the beautiful book that is part of the box, Lemieux, who attended the first 10 shows on the tour, states, "To my ears this was the last tour that was consistently great, where every show is excellent, not a dud in the bunch." And Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally's comprehensive and informative insider's essay in the box is titled "The Last Great Dead Tour." These guys know what they're talking about.
Basically, the band had been on an upward trajectory since Garcia's return to the road in the spring of '87, following his near-death the previous summer. Of course, 1987 was a trip in itself, what with the unexpected mega-success of In the Dark and their first hit single, "Touch of Grey." But the momentum just kept building with each subsequent tour, as Garcia got back up to full speed (and then some!) and the group as a whole was as unified as they had ever been since Brent joined the band in the spring of '79. New original tunes were popping up and the old favorites were imbued with a freshness and spirit that was so uplifting and inspiring. The band was having fun again, and it was downright infectious.
The group's fall 1989 shows-as documented two years ago on the Formerly the Warlocks box (two shows from Hampton, VA, 10/8-9/89) and on the 2001 release Nightfall of Diamonds (a single night in NJ, 10/16/89)- kicked the energy level up another couple of notches, as the band reintroduced such loved classics as "Help on the Way" > "Slipknot!," "Attics of My Life," "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "Dark Star."
And when the band hit the road in mid-March 1990, they had a bunch of other cool tunes to lay on their unsuspecting crowds, including the return of "Loose Lucy" (last played in 1974; it's not on this box), Brent's "Easy to Love You" (missing since 1980), a rollicking cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time," The Band's "The Weight" (with all four singers taking a verse each) and a lyrically retooled "Black-Throated Wind" (absent since 1974), which elicited huge cheers every time it was played.
Over these six shows, most of the cornerstones of the Dead's repertoire from the era appear-splendid versions of "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain," "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider," "Playing in the Band," "Uncle John's Band," "Eyes of the World," "Estimated Prophet," "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," "The Other One," "Terrapin," "Stella Blue," "Feel Like a Stranger," "Bird Song," "Let It Grow," "China Doll," "Box of Rain," "Morning Dew"; you name it. From the fall '89 breakouts come "Help-Slip-Frank," "Attics of My Life" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Among the still newish tunes are "Picasso Moon," "Blow Away," "Foolish Heart," "Just a Little Light," "Victim or the Crime," "Standing on the Moon," "We Can Run" and a couple that would get their final plays from the Grateful Dead on this tour-"Built to Last" and "Believe It or Not." There are stirring renditions of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Black Muddy River," rockin' takes on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Iko Iko" and the only version of the full "Hey Jude" the band attempted in the modern era. And the "Rhythm Devils" and "Space" jams at the heart of each second set are as noisy-beautiful-scary-funny-intense-mysterious-wild as you'd expect/hope for.
Of course, we understand that some of you may have other favorite shows from this tour you wish were included on this box. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. But at 18 discs, this is still the second largest Grateful Dead box (after Europe '72: The Complete Recordings) that's been released, and the non-inclusion of any other shows from the tour definitely does not preclude their future release! But this seemed like a more manageable way to go, while still giving a sense of the tour's amazing depth and breadth.
Besides the discs themselves, Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 has much to offer, including: a gorgeous 60-page hardcover book containing copious color photos by Jim Anderson and Michael Laurentus, unique artwork by Brooklyn-based fine artist Wes Lang, fascinating business letters and communications related to the tour, a detailed historical essay by Dennis McNally, a Producer's Note by David Lemieux and individual show descriptions by Blair Jackson; a reproduction of the Dead's 1990 tour program (printed and sold later in '90, for the fall and Europe '90 tours); tickets and backstage passes of all six shows; a band publicity photo from 1990 by Ken Friedman; Dennis McNally's tour laminate; and reproductions of the colored 8x10 sheets GDTS sent out with hotel, food and other information for each city on the tour.
With recordings made by longtime Grateful Dead recordist and producer John Cutler, mastered by Jeffrey Norman in HDCD, you just know it's gonna sound great-and it does!
So, that's the skinny this time 'round. This box is limited to just 9,000 numbered copies - please note, this is the only time these shows will ever be officially available on CD. There will not be an All Music Edition and single shows will not be available physically. Due to ship out August 31st, we anticipate that this extraordinary set will sell-out, so order your copy today!
If you're looking for more of a bite-sized taste of the '90s, Spring 1990: So Glad You Made It, a 2-CD set featuring a handful of favorites, will be in stores on September 18th.

And gave out 2 or 3
from the box it was shipped in to the flyers showing camping areas, hotels and restaurants. The mix is superb. I haven't played my tapes for oh....7 or 8 years. And probably never will again. Most of my shows attended were in '89 and '90 and after listening to all the seventies releases recently, forgot how freaking good they were at this point in their trip. Brent is on literal FIRE!!!!. Tight and precise...they WERE a well oiled machine about now. Drumz and space are incredible every show presented here. Don't skip those tracks. The calypso jam out of Women Smarter was classic. Repeated that track 3 times in a row, dancing the whole time. The box is awesome. Artwork kickass. Worth every penny.......Now about Dave's Picks 3...Hmmm..still waiting for that one. Hear it's really good too, but I'm on this 1990 kick right about now. Thanks for reading. God Bless the Grateful Dead.
p.s. gonna save that shipping box as well. you never know when you may have to move and lug your precious belongings along with you.
We can share the music we can share the wine because we done shared all of mine.
Because people like us pay $200 for these shows these shows get beautifully mixed and mastered -- and eventually everyone in the GD community will have it. I am sure there are people who have bought who will share it. Just look around a bit.
I'm with you though, I don't know why they remove it from archive.org. I can't see how streaming rough "mixes" at a low bit/sec hurts sells of the polished product. In fact, I would think they could use it as advertisement. But I know nothing about the business of it.
This is by far the best dead release yet can't wait for vol 2
Got #5645 in NH today and I'd say it's nearly perfect. This is a beautiful, beautiful box -- great production, plentiful goodies, spectacular sound and playing. Thanks to all involved! I love seeing all of the tour logistics, like the roadies' breakfast supplies and schedule.

Hey now, snafu. Grate to meet another Zappa Freak. I just received the 4 disc set, put out by Vaulter Native Records, of Zappa & The Mothers at Carnegie Hall - October 11, 1971, in the mail. It also includes the opening set by The Persuasions. I'm listening to it right now. I'm very happy to report that the sound is excellent on what I've heard so far. It brings back great memories. I had front row seats for the 7:30 show. The discs have both the 7:30 and 11:00 Zappa shows. Highly recommended to all.
opening this boxset was magical. So much thought and detail are packed in.
Beyone thrilled. and the sound is pretty damn excellent (even though they cheesed out on the 24track).
Seriously, it sounds fantastic.
Happy times
have a defective disc--I have just conferred with the boss, and he says NO, DO NOT SEND THE WHOLE BOX BACK, and has reminded customer service that we don't want this.
Instead, please send your info to email@example.com and we'll try to get it resolved speedily.
Keep me posted. Thanks.
I don't remember very many free concert tickets.
I'm not sure why you and others believe that soundboards recorded by the band for the band (or in the case of Fall '89->Spring '90, specifically for commercial release) should be free ~ as opposed to audience recordings taped by tapers.
But you do have a point ~ if a release is a limited quantity run, and you CAN'T buy it once it's sold out ~ then I don't know why audio streams would be removed for those. At the end of the day, though, the music still belongs to the band ~ not to us (unless we taped it).
As for audience tapers who were allowed to plug into the soundboard who share THEIR soundboard tapes on the Archive ~ and maybe that's what you meant ~ well, room for debate, there, I suppose. But even then, I think the pendulum lands on the band ~ the tapers allowed to access the soundboard received a gift that night, and that should not preclude the band's ultimate ownership of the feed from its own soundboard. Just my opinion.
So because you people who pay $200 for these shows, or $500 for Europe 72'; people like me who listen to these shows on archive.org discover that we can't listen to soundboards anymore and now get told to go buy music that has and should always stay free.
I have passed along your message.
These shows sound great so far.
My tastes in GD music are mostly the early 70's - 1970 - '73, with the full range being the 1960's to about 1984. The shows that were released in this box satisfies me very well. I don't think I will order a "Spring 1990, Volume 2" if this is ever considered by The Powers That Be.
I would be extremely happy if "Sunshine Daydream" / 8/27/72 were ever to be released - either as two separate entities: GDP & the owners of "Sunshine Daydream" or a two products from GDP, similar to the "Truckin' Up To Buffalo" releases, or a single package like "Crimson, White & Indigo"
Talked to Dead.net customer service today and was told that they would get a replacement disc out to me also,but they could not say when it would be processed and mailed.I'll let you know how things go.thanks!

This is the best release yet. I'm a very satisfied customer.
This is, IMHO, the hight point of the Dead's career. In terms of musicianship and variety (not to mention the quality of recordings) there is nothing that tops 89/90.
Everything about this release is top notch. Apparently, Europe /72 was a learning experience for Rhino. This box is much better done. Reasonable roll out and release date, good promos, nice packaging, great mixing and mastering. The only thing that might top this would be a box of the Dylan/Dead collaboration. Or Spring /90 Part II.
I'm taking a week of vacation, leaving Texas, heading West. There is no better way to listen to the Dead than while driving the Great American Desert in a two-seater with a sound system that can make the floor shake. Six days and six shows, W TX, NM, AZ, maybe on to CA. Just a mile to go, my old buddy your moving much too slow.
and have not already done so, please DO send email with the details to Dr. Rhino, drrhino (at) rhino.com
Please contact the Spring 90 Store customer service, not Dr. Rhino.
If this doesn't work, get back to me. Thanks.
itsburnsy says he's having a problem: "No Dave's 3".
That's not out yet, is it? If it is, I also didn't get it yet.
What are people's favorite tours?
I'm endlessly amazed at how often people ignore 1970. For instance, in the book this set came with Lemieux says 1990, Europe 72, fall 73, spring 77.
Hello? These are great in their way, yes, but none of them can TOUCH 1970!
Damn, it irks me that so few Dead Heads seem to realize how amazing 1970 was. LISTEN TO DICK'S PICKS 8 FOR INSTANCE! No way is there better Jerry. Disk 2 is freakin' amazing.
By the way, one of my disks in this set is cracked. I emailed dead.net. I sure hope they can send me a new disk without me sending the whole set back! And what happens if they are sold out? I hope they have extra disks for this kind of problem.
UPDATE: Aha! Now I get it. David was 19 in the early '90's and not born in 1970! That might explain it. Most Dead Heads I know think the tours they actually experienced are the best ever. But I didn't see 1970 in person either. I'm a child of 76-77 mostly.
One other thing: on page 3 of the book there is a photo with a red circle on it that is supposed to be circling David in the tapers section. For the life of me I can't see a person at all in that circle! In the very center of the circle is something that looks like a square brown thing, sort of like a paper bag. David, are you wearing a bag over your head? LOL!
Just read your post, too bad you didn't get an extra Hartford set one instead, we could have done a trade and avoided Customer Care all together. They said they would get back to me about sending a replacement disc within 72 hours. Let me know how it turns out for you, I'll do the same.
paid for overnight shipping and am still waiting to hear anything. my order has been in process for almost 2 weeks. any word or update on when overnight shippers box will send would be amazing at this point..
Does anybody know how many sets are now left? I know a couple of people (myself included) who sprung for the set the moment the shipping announcement hit on late Thursday.
I've been ordering from Dead.net for 14 years, never had a single problem!! Now I have 2!! No Dave's 3, but more importantly, my Hartford show had a Copps disc one. So now I have 2 disc one's from Copps, and no disc one for Hartford. I emailed Customer Service and they got back to me right away, so hopefully that is a good sign. Anyone else get a wrong disc, or am I the only lucky one to have two copies of Copps set I?
I got 898/9000 in the mail this morning, though my order status still says "In Process". Beautiful box. Thanks, Rhino/GDM.

it's a bit of let down to (finally) be among the first to own a limited edition set such as this and there not be a bonus disc included.
40 years ago, today...
Does anyone know if there will be dvd releases from this tour?
Does anyone know if there will be dvd releases from this tour?
This is very sweet. I'm gonna try and take my time rather than ripping through every show (save one as mentioned below) on a consecutive bender like I did w/E '72. (Yeah, i know, like that'll work)
Did anybody find anything in the right-hand side of the box when you open it? I didn't, but it just seemed like it was made w/something in there since they put a finger hole in, and left side has all the stubs/passes, etc..
These cd sleeves are way better than Europe box; those were thinner and looked cool in the steamer trunk, but I must've ripped half of them. (Also hope those don't develop any scratches/skips from sliding them in and out-hasn't happened to me yet)
Through tremendous willpower and sensei-like strength, I've saved the Rotterdam show from Europe to listen to in my old age and decrepitude; don't think I can do the same with one of these six! Anyone who has never heard 3/30 Nassau is in for a treat-that show is just flawless execution but still with total adventurousness and improvisation IMO, and the pre-drums setlist is extraordinary. Definitely hope they do release 3/29 in its entirety down the road; don't know if any of the remaining 9 are really worthy or not as I haven't heard most of them.
Was fortunate to see the Best Band You Never Heard in '88 ~ a unique version of genius. (I guess that's what makes genius genius.)
But to the band at hand......
Had a wonderful time reliving 3-16-90 last night. The band is super hot, Bob is in especially fine vocal form, so is Jerry for that matter, Phil is all over it on bass, and it's one of those nights where "when the drummers are hot, the band is hot." The first set is worth owning for its own sake, Good Times Roll is really inspired, Touch of Grey is a marvelous version, really picking up steam for the finale, Minglewood cooks (nice 3-go-round opening solo from Jerry), Peggy-O is beautifully rendered, Bird Song is even more epic than I remember, and the show stoppers ~ Black-Throated & Blow Away ~ what can you say...two very emotional moments.
Scarlet inspires a full post-jam before the surprise ~ and very hot ~ Estimated, and Ship of Fools is intense and VERY inspired. Jerry seems to be searching for the right effect on his first Women Are Smarter solo, but finds it during the verse before his second ~ and tears in accordingly. Brent's now-permanently-stolen "little boy sit on the corner and cry" verse was fun to hear again. The Last Time ~ the encore ~ is about the only thing that's ragged vocally (moreso than I remember) but finds pure magic once Brent joins Jerry on the outro harmonies and Bob takes over the lead scatting. Leaving this show, it was my favorite of the Landover run and hearing it again it's hard to argue.
My verdict on the mix is, I'm loving it. Could multi-track have brought out a little more Jerry vocal here, or Billy snare there? Undoubtedly. However, these live mixes really sound LIVE. The vocals, Jerry's lead guitar, and other elements really capture the sound of the venue, and the energy of the event. I think something important would've (or certainly could've) been lost in a multi-tracking mix translation.
Moved chronologically to Hartford today, but cheated and jumped to 2nd set. Box of Rain is about as quintessential a version as you're going to hear; Phil's vocal is strong and poignant, and the harmonies on the finale are studio-perfect. As if while recently reworking Attics, they'd shored up on Box, as well. Vocal flubs notwithstanding ~ and Jerry doesn't let them stand in his way (as he occasionally could on a lesser night) ~ the Foolish Heart is a wonderful version, flawless and soaring jam. Playin' -> Eyes -> Drums....nice. Great organ from Brent on Playin'. To Blair's liner note point (which I read after), Drums really does flow right on with the beat the drummers have been chasing relentlessly all through Eyes.
Sounds like Jerry has left the stage a little before the others as the Eyes jam winds down, or else he's MIDI'd his guitar into something purely percussive.....will just have to hear it again to be sure...
Promise I won't post my own personal review of every show! But it's been great listening this weekend, psyched for Copps and can't wait for Nassau.
(And Footbear, I do feel for you ~ I'd be bummed if I wasn't in a position to obtain these shows in particular, and I know I'm very lucky that some of these big releases have happened while I was.)
Been listening to the '88 Zappa tour. Really the best band you never heard!!!
The band is on fire!
The mix is near perfect!
Brent is playing out of his mind!
Possibly the best box yet.
Thank You Rhino
Been listening to the shows for the past few days, and STOKED to have them. Have had most of the shows recorded from the audience for years, but its like discovering them for the first time in this awesome box set. Love the versions of Foolish Heart, Bertha and Scarlet-Fire. And the packaging is awesome, so fancy. Even the Shipping box was custom. Well worth the price.
Sorry some people are so negative.... sometimes "shit happens" (I saw may of those bumper stickers in the lot at shows) I think Rhino is a great company and have good customer service. They once replaced a CD that I cracked from removing it from the case.
A most excellent essay by Scrib... I always like reading his stuff.

This is a wonderful time for those of us who are both Deadheads and Zappa Freaks (I don't think they like to be called heads). No need to go into the huge amount of newly released Dead material here that's being handled just fine. But for those of us who grew up loving both the Zappa Family Trust is in the process of reissuing the entire Zappa Catalogue. The approach for that is a little different. Much of what is on CD was remastered by Zappa in the 80's and not to the joy of the purists. He added digital reverb rerecorded bass and drums on the earliest stuff etc. so unlike the Dead releases where we are hearing for the 1st time live shows we only heard on tapes/boots with the Zappa releases it's ok how is this different from the earlier cd releases. Many are the original vinyl mixes on cd for the 1st time. I think I need to take a few weeks off of work to fully digest both the Dead and the Zappa stuff. As I said Overdose. Whatever you may think of Zappa I can't help but think almost everone on this site would agree with one of his quotes--- MUSIC IS THE BEST. And just maybe what I say to my friends who aren't quite so obsessive Music Is Life. Ok back to the task at hand let's see I think another Dead show is called for tonight.
Hello Pot...meet Kettle...
Box set is in and I am psyched. Starting my listening party in 5 minutes but the box itself is damaged. Looks like it was dropped pretty hard on its corner so even the inside box is dented. I am hoping for $200 I can get a replacement box. I have sent a note in to customer service with some pics so hopefully they come thru and fix this issue.
I received my set on Thursday [ 6493/9000 ]. USPS left it on my porch because no one was home because, being on vacation, I had taken my family to the beach. I opened it and was very happy to see that all the discs were there and none of them were damaged. The only blemish is a gouge on the back of the Copps Colesium digipack set.
I just found it, but thanks for your help.
PatagonianFox already posted a link for the artwork. Here it is again:
Please post a page of the disc cover art. I haven't been able to find it anywhere and it's a pain in the ass to scan all of them. Thanks.
opening this box set was really fun, lots of super cool extras and keep sakes. lots can be framed and hung in your home. we're just now about 1/2 way through the music. feeling gratefully nostalgic as some jams are just soooo good they really bring you back to this era. I'm so glad I got this after being a little hesitant at first. the art work is sick and wes lane really produced some great work here. overall its a 10, get it if you can!

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The bodies of an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer and his brother-in-law will be sent home to Visalia, Calif., after they were both killed trying to stop the theft of the officer's pickup truck from a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino, authorities said Tuesday.
Veteran CHP Officer Jesus Manuel Magdaleno Jr., 33, was killed in the Sunday morning wreck and his sister's husband, Felix Brandon Cruz III, 31, was pronounced dead Monday evening at University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
It was not clear if James Robert Montgomery, 29, of Tustin, Calif., would appear Wednesday before a judge on felony murder, kidnapping, auto theft, battery and robbery charges. It also wasn't clear if Montgomery had been assigned a lawyer.
Montgomery remained hospitalized Tuesday after being injured in the Sunday crash, Las Vegas police Officer Jose Hernandez said.
No services were immediately scheduled for the two men, according to an official at the funeral home handling arrangements.
Magdaleno and Cruz were in Las Vegas for Magdaleno's bachelor party, and police say they were loading Magdaleno's pickup with luggage at checkout time when Montgomery got into the driver's seat of the Ford F-150 pickup and drove away from the valet area at the Flamingo hotel-casino.
Magdaleno ran after the pickup, shouting that he was a CHP officer and jumping into the cargo bed with Cruz, according to security video and witness accounts. The video has not been made public.
The pickup sped wildly away from the Strip, mowing down construction cones and speeding through red lights on an Interstate 15 overpass. Police said it collided with an SUV and smashed into a traffic signal pole in front of the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, about a mile west of the Flamingo.
Magdaleno and Cruz were fatally injured when they were thrown out of the bed of the pickup. Two children in the SUV were treated for minor injuries, police said.
Magdaleno was an eight-year CHP patrol and training officer assigned to Visalia. He was to be married in September.
Montgomery told police he remembered walking around the Flamingo and being in a car crash, but couldn't remember anything in between, according to his arrest report.
He was seen speaking with a taxi driver before climbing into the driver's seat of Magdaleno's pickup, police said.

You are correct Tweeter - marshall dub cuts were a sign off standard for shaka around 80' - 81' .
I bought some cuts from same connection as Shaka - Kingsley(keyboard - black brothers) couple of raw mixes on same ridim as the shaka 12". i also got hold of a single cut of the alternative marshall riddim - as per shaka's 'guidance and protection' cuts - rather tame in comparison to shaka's. i'm pretty certain he cut his own from tape - bad cuts for true. There is a 1980 Shaka - coxsone session at Brixton town hall doing the rounds which features shaka signing off with marshall - i think reggaemusicstore stocks this session.
The Brimstone and Fire cut is in fact a dub plate mix of the released marshall version.
Reason shaka don't release marshall again is due to ownership.

Garrett Poucher and Skyler Howes of Garrett Offroad Racing are headed to Dakar! These US privateers are headed there for their first times but Skyler is fresh off a victory at last week's Baja Rally, won the Sonora Rally in March and this team placed third in the Baja 1000.
They have a fundraising link set up and could use your help.
I raced with Garrett at Baja Rally last year and then both of them at Sonora and was honored to pit with them as well. They're both super guys and work their assess off. I think they both have good chances of not only finishing the 11 days of Dakar but placing well.
They're doing some rally training events this Sat, Oct 20 in Santa Clarita, CA and then another Oct 28th in St. George Utah so if you've ever considered learning rally raid navigation, this is your chance! It's a lot of fun too. More info on that at the link.

Bengals sign LB Harrison
Cincinnati, OH – The Cincinnati Bengals signed linebacker James Harrison to a two-year contract on Friday.
Harrison was released by Pittsburgh early in March after a 10-year run since joining the club as an undrafted free agent in 2002. While in Pittsburgh, his clubs dominated the Bengals, winning 16 of 21 games, including a playoff victory in the 2005 season.
He was released in 2003, but came back in 2004 and became one of the team's leaders, helping the franchise to a pair of Super Bowl titles in his time in the Steel City.
Harrison started 95 of the 131 games he played with the Steelers and ranks fourth in franchise history with 64 sacks. He was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, earned five straight trips to the Pro Bowl from 2007-11 and was named All-Pro three times.
In addition, Harrison played 12 postseason games with the Steelers and registered the longest interception return in Super Bowl history with a 100- yard touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.
In 13 games last season, Harrison had 70 tackles with six sacks. He notched double-digit sack totals three times during his career, most recently in 2010.
Harrison is also known as one of the hardest hitters in the league, which has led to numerous fines from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

I only teach elementary Latin, so I haven't run across good examples of these issues yet.
I'm trying to translate the phrase "Drink only good wines" into Latin, but I'm perplexed over the "only."
In this sentence, would it be an adverb or an adjective (tantum or solus -a -um).
Secondarily, should I make the imperative "drink" singular (bibe) or plural (bibete)? What would the true classicist do?
Lastly, what about word order on a phrase like "I know nothing about wine"? Would nihil come before or after scio?
de vinis nihil scio
Thanks, folks!

The human body is remarkably complex. During each moment of a person's life there are an infinite number of processes occurring, and blood plays a key role in many of them.
However, blood is not one thing; it is made up of many different parts that allow it to sustain the body. In fact, white blood cells (WBCs), plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), and cell fragments (platelets) together comprise the substance we know as blood. All of these elements are required for blood to successfully serve its life-supporting functions.
Blood plays many roles that are critical to a person's survival. Like a vehicle, it transports nutrients, oxygen, and messengers, such as hormones, throughout the body. Additionally, it fights infection, controls clotting, regulates critical body functions, such as temperature, and removes waste.
Given the multiple, wide-ranging roles of blood, problems with this important substance can prove dangerous for the human body's well being. From anemia to blood cancers and infection-fighting disorders to clotting and bleeding problems, understanding what can go wrong with blood is the first step towards taking the right preventive steps.
To learn more about blood, take a look at the following articles exclusive to NetWellness.

Local Asheville Branch information for The NAACP, the Premier Civil Rights organization in the United States, has been a leading force for equality. From its inception in 1909 until today the NAACP continues to push forward in political, economic, and social issues.
The History of the NAACP in North Carolina
In 1917 the first three North Carolina branches of the NAACP were created. Following the creation of the organization several years earlier. Their mission was to confront lynching, and fair employment; also to promote voter registration, and equal education opportunities. According to NCPedia, over the next 25 years, the number of branches increased, and in 1943 a State Conference of NAACP Branches was formed to serve the state's membership of 5,700. The leadership of the state conference was assumed by Kelly M. Alexander. During Alexander's 36-year presidency, ending with his death in 1985, the North Carolina State Conference of NAACP Branches became the largest in the nation; it eventually included more than 120 branches with a membership of 30,000. In 1955, after the unanimous U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, Alexander led the NAACP fight to desegregate North Carolina schools. Alexander was elected to the NAACP Board of Directors in 1950. He became chairman in 1984.
Robert F. Williams, formerly the president of the NAACP branch of Monroe, North Carolina, advocated self-defense. A national debate among civil rights groups over violent versus nonviolent tactics intensified; his 1962 book Negroes with Guns, allegedly, had a profound influence on Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton.
The 1960 Greensboro sit-ins, presented another challenge to the national NAACP's courts-oriented approach to activism. Its methods appeared mild to some civil rights activists. The state and local NAACP leaders have amassed an impressive list of civil rights victories on behalf of North Carolina's African Americans and other minorities. As of 2006, there were 101 NAACP branches in the state.
On Saturday, February 14th, 2009, the NC NAACP marked its 100th anniversary by bringing historic thousands of North Carolinians of all colors and races to its third annual People's Assembly on Jones Street.

Adrien Brody (born April 14, 1973) is an American actor and film producer. He received widespread recognition and subsequent acclaim after starring in Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002). He is the youngest actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, at 29 years old.
Brody was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York, the son of Sylvia Plachy, a photojournalist, and Elliot Brody, a retired history professor and painter. Brody's father is of Polish-Jewish descent; Brody's mother - who was raised Catholic - was born in Budapest, Hungary, the daughter of a Catholic Hungarian aristocrat father and a Czech Jewish mother. Brody was raised "without a strong connection to" Judaism and Catholicism. As a child, he performed magic shows at children's birthday parties as "The Amazing Adrien". He attended the Joseph Pulitzer Middle School (I.S.145) and New York's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (famous as the inspiration for television's Fame). His parents enrolled him in acting classes to distance him from the dangerous children with whom he associated. He attended summer camp at Long Lake Camp for the Arts in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Brody attended New York's Queens College from 1991 to 1993, majoring in Performance Art, but returned to acting before graduation.
In 1992, Brody was seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident in which he flew over a car and crashed head-first into a crosswalk. He spent months recuperating. He has broken his nose three times doing stunts. His nose was broken once again during the filming of Summer of Sam.

Daniel Scarpinato with the Republican committee says three factors affect spending decisions: the quality of the candidate, poll numbers, and where Democrats are spending their money. He says the GOP is paying more attention to what is the other side is doing, "and how's it going to affect our decisions."
Jesse Ferguson with the Democratic committee says redistricting has presented his party with an embarrassment of riches: "The map has changed and we have a tremendous number of opportunities across the state." It allows them to go on the offensive, targeting those same three Republican Congressmen the GOP wants to protect — Lungren, Denham, and Bilbray — plus try to unseat Mary Bono Mack in Palm Springs. (Story continues below video window.)
But Republicans have also stepped up their offensive game, targeting three Democratic incumbents: freshman Congressman John Garamendi near Sacramento, Jerry McNerney in the Central Valley and Lois Capps in Santa Barbara.
Democrats are not spending party money to defend incumbents in those races — at least not yet.
The Democratic committee is putting money into a Long Beach race for an open seat, backing Alan Lowenthal, who nosed out GOP challenger Gary Delong in the June primary by just three percentage points.
In two other open seats, dollars are pouring in from both sides. In Ventura County, the Republicans are sending money to Tony Strickland; Democrats to Julia Brownley. In the Inland Empire, the GOP is supporting John Tavaglione; the Democrats are backing Mark Takano.
In addition to TV ads, Scarpinato says Republicans have found another effective way to get the video message out: advertise on the website Hulu: "You might reach more people on Hulu now than you might with a cable television buy."
Democrats are reserving TV time in Sacramento, as well as Palm Springs and even Los Angeles. But Ferguson says the party is putting a chunk of change on its ground game, getting voters to the polls. He stresses that it's a Democratic priority, "particularly in California because it's not a state that President Obama has to spend a lot of his time and money to turn out the vote."
Of course, the combined $17 million — so far — from the Republican and Democratic committees isn't the only money being spent on California races. Millions more are pouring in from political action committees. The flood of cash guarantees one thing: lots of TV ads for Congressional candidates dominating the screen for the final four weeks of the campaign.

I resolve to resolve less
Yesterday evening, I had a hangover of sorts. No, I didn't binge drink on New Years Eve. I had to have an espresso at 4 p.m. and still found myself getting bleary eyed before the clock struck midnight. My binging took place on New Year's Day, rather, and lasted until January 2 until about 3 p.m. CST. I gleefully thought about and wrote out 12 resolutions plus five additional "general goals" that I felt were allowed because they weren't specific and measurable enough to count as resolutions. I even settled on a motto for the year: Quality over quantity. How ironic. After indulging myself for a day and a half, I hit a wall and had to lay on the couch in front of the TV for a few hours recuperating.
My name is Meghan, and I am a self-improvement junkie.
It's terrible to say for a variety of reasons, but I actually enjoy New Year's Day more than Christmas. I love starting anew, getting to wipe the slate clean, second (and third, and forth) chances. But I also know the value of remind oneself, "I am enough in God's eyes." There's a balance, I'm aware, between setting a personal goal to strive for and being confident and proud in your own skin right now. I just don't know how to achieve it. If I'm trying to do a triathlon in 2012, why shouldn't I also be shooting to improve my mile pace, to strengthen my legs by doing lunges 3 times a week, and while I'm at it, eating more fruits and vegetables? (And lest you think my resolutions are all physical fitness related, I've also resolved to set aside time for meditation and prayer, 30 minutes of writing every morning, spending more time with friends, and practicing my music.)
I'm aware that given my disposition, I should have but one resolution: to learn to be satisfied with myself right now. My faith has a funny role in all this. I've been taught all my life that God loves me just as I am. But it's this love, that inspires me to be better, to use all my gifts to their best ability, and to get up and keep trying when I stumble.
For the month of January, we're asking readers and U.S. Catholic contributors to share their resolutions for 2012. To submit your 500 word blog post, please email email@example.com. We'll notifiy you if you're post is selected for publication on uscatholic.org.

What Really Happened in Abbottabad?
Eight mysteries about the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
Also in Slate, Daniel Byman analyzes the future of al-Qaida, Anne Applebaum applauds America's use of human intelligence over expensive technologies, and John Dickerson notes the silence from those who criticized Obama's military tactics. And don't miss Christopher Hitchens' article on Bin Laden's legacy, or David Weigel's coverage on the scene outside the White House. For the most up-to-date-coverage, visit The Slatest. Slate's complete coverage on the Osama Bin Laden assassination is rounded up here.
What happened at Osama Bin Laden's compound on Sunday night? What led to the assault, and what will follow it? President Obama and senior U.S. officials have given partial accounts, but these only raise further questions. Here are a few of them.
1. Aerial surveillance? Despite the compound's high walls, the U.S. knew a lot about the folks inside it. According to U.S. officials at last night's White House briefing, "A third family lived there—one whose size and whose makeup matched the Bin Laden family members that we believed most likely to be with Osama Bin Laden." How did we know so many things about these people—things that could be seen only from above? The New York Times says the CIA used "satellite photos" to ascertain the inhabitants. But given the family's careful security and the inconvenient timing of uncontrolled satellite passes, I wonder whether, in order to get information at this level of precision, we also used unarmed drones.
The chief loophole in the compound's security was probably its third-floor terrace, which, according to the U.S., had a seven-foot privacy wall. The terrace and wall would have been constructed so that the inhabitants could go outside without being seen from the street. But this would make them visible from above.
2. Air cover? Obama authorized the raid early Friday morning, but it didn't take place till nearly 48 hours later. Why? One possible reason is the weather. Look at the past week's weather report for Islamabad, the nearest major city. It was cloudy until Sunday, and the first clear break in nighttime cloud cover was Monday morning. Danger Room points out, "It's unlikely the CIA and Joint Special Operations Command would risk sending in a lightly-protected team to face terrorists capable of shooting down helicopters. That means air cover—most likely armed drones or Air Force gunships." We know from on-the-ground tweets, as well as from the U.S., that the raid took place around 1 a.m. But drone strikes frequently take place at that hour.
3. Capture or kill? The U.S. says it killed Bin Laden because he "resisted" the commandos. But did they try hard to capture him alive? I doubt it. A U.S. official says the government dumped his body at sea quickly because "we don't want a bunch of people going to [a] shrine" for him. The same logic argued against putting him on trial, which would have made him even more of a martyr.
4. Intel bonus? The U.S. says its team "was on the compound for under 40 minutes." That includes the entry, the firefight, blowing up its crippled helicopter, and extracting Bin Laden's corpse. Was that enough time to find and grab anything useful that might further unravel Bin Laden's network? Probably not, but we won't know till later.
5. Gitmo vindicated? The U.S. says "detainees" provided the initial information about Bin Laden's courier, which eventually led to the raid. In its briefing, the Obama White House didn't specify where those detainees were located. But the Times says more: "Detainees at the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, had given the courier's pseudonym to American interrogators." Without Gitmo, would we have found him?
6. Sloppy defense? Eighteen-foot walls, barbed wire, an oversized plot of land, and a lack of phone wires made the compound highly conspicuous. U.S. officials say that once they began to look at it, they were "shocked by what we saw" and knew it was a good target. Yet despite all the fortifications, apparently only three men were with Bin Laden to defend him. Despite how long it took us to get him, it seems he was neither well-hidden nor well-protected.
7. Who knew? The U.S. says the area around the compound has "lots of retired military." The Washington Post reports that it's "the headquarters of a brigade of the Pakistan army's 2nd Division." Despite this, the U.S. adds that "the compound was built in 2005," apparently "for the purpose of harboring" Bin Laden. How could he have arranged the construction of such a facility, and then moved into it with his family, without anyone in the local Pakistani military network knowing about it?
8. Did Pakistan help? Since elements of the Pakistani security apparatus may have been complicit in keeping Bin Laden hidden, it was logical for the U.S. not to tell Pakistan anything about the raid beforehand. Apparently, that's what happened. "We shared our intelligence on this Bin Laden compound with no other country, including Pakistan," U.S. officials said last night. Yet Obama, in his address, stressed that "our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to Bin Laden." Why give Pakistan credit publicly, while privately shutting it out? Because we need all the friends we can get—Pakistanis, Afghans, Egyptians, Libyans, and their leaders—in the struggle against terrorism. We need to make it look as though this or that government helped us, even when it didn't. Did Pakistan really help us find Bin Laden? Don't take Obama's word for it. But if his post-raid spin increases the odds that Pakistan will help us the next time we need it, good for him.
(Updates 1:15 p.m.: 1) Politico's Mike Allen reports that U.S. officials "knew there were 22 people living" in the compound. This confirms the precision of U.S. visual intelligence. 2.) Allen says the raid was pushed back from Saturday to Sunday because of bad weather. This is consistent with air support or surveillance. 3) Allen reports that the commandos "scavenged every shred and pixel of possible intelligence material from the house." That would be one of the raid's most impressive achievements, given the tight schedule, firefight, and copter trouble. 4) Reuters (via The Slatest) says the commandos were given orders for a "kill operation" in which Bin Laden would have been taken alive only if he clearly surrendered. 5) BBC News says the compound "lies well within Abbottabad's military cantonment, and it is likely the area would have had a constant and significant military presence and checkpoints," which further suggests Pakistani complicity.)

text: Today I upgraded trial site from 3.5.24 to 3.5.39. I had previously installed all Security updated jars and the new web jar(IE9 issue) to my 3.5.39 workbench. All seemed to go OK other than the reports that had worked fine in 3.5.24, when trying to view a report it would wait about 1-2 minutes then kick me out of site a few times it caused a reboot. I figured out that column Device Name which I was bringing in as %name% was causing the problem after deleting that column reports came up properly but now my report px view hyperlink doesn't work. I added bound labels over report px to hyperlink to individual devices as this is a small site with only a few devices. Should I be using something other than %name% to bring the device name into report? %DeviceName% didn't work. Strange thing is %name% has always worked in the past. I really don't want to upgrade any large sites until I get issues worked out. Any insight appreciated.

Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce members heard about making Newton County a Work Ready Community Initiative during the quarterly luncheon held on Thursday at the Civic.
Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce members heard about making Newton County a Work Ready Community Initiative during the quarterly luncheon held on Thursday at the Civic.
"Certified Work Ready Communities Initiative helps prepare workforce to the needs of employers via the education system, via the economic developers, so it actually gives economic developers certified data that they can either use with existing businesses or new businesses coming to the area," said Troy Roland, business services team leader with WorkForce Investment. "So it verifies workforce skills."
Roland told the chamber members some keynote points after the noon meal.
"One, it is easy to become a partner as a business, as an employer, you can either recommend or if you want to have your jobs profiled, you can actually require certain levels that match the skills needed for the job," he said. "So the key thing was we needed employers on board to sign those partnership letters."
As such, Roland was trying to not only get the information out to the area businesses about the Work Ready Communities Initiative, but also to get more on board with this program.
"The goal is for Newton County to become certified Work Ready in the ACT Academy," Roland said. "And to do that, we are going to need 65 partners, employers, all of the testing numbers looks like we are going be in line for those. May 31 is the deadline to submit that application. So we roughly need about 30 more employer partners, and we will be able to file that for certified Work Ready."
Two of the Neosho employer partners are the Neosho R-5 School District and Crowder College.
Neosho R-5 School District superintendent Alma Stipp spoke about the program.
"Certificates in job candidate credibility and employers will know that we have a workforce qualified to be confident employees and that is important when we try to draw businesses to our community," she said. "In my opinion, I like this because it calls for a certain amount of commitment on part of the employee to provide something that says, 'I can do this job.'"
Roland emphasized the advantages for them to join.
"The advantages for the employer is that it makes their hiring process easier, they can hire the right individual the first time, instead of trying to guess," he said. "For an individual looking for work, it actually verifies the workplace skills, so if there are 1,000 applicants and if you have a gold certificate, you can walk in and be the first in line because you actually verify your skills on your resume."
And when May 31 comes about, Roland said, "the steering committee, will submit the application for Work Ready status and then once that vote happens after May 31, they will certify it as 'in progress' if goals haven't been met, if all of the goals have been met, they will certify Newton County as certified Work Ready just as Jasper County was."
There is no cost for the employer or the individual to join.
"It is a win-win for the region, Newton County and the Neosho area," Roland said.

New Ways to Paint: Sugaring Off
RISD Museum
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Ellerton M. Jetté
Eastman Johnson was one of the leading artists to come to prominence during the Civil War. He studied in Europe, working under Emanuel Leutze in Germany (who was then painting his landmark work Washington Crossing the Delaware, 1851), before traveling to Holland and then Paris, where he studied with academic painter Thomas Couture. When he returned to America, he painted images of the 19th-century frontier, living among the native Anishinabe (Ojibwe) in Wisconsin for a period. He settled in New York, where he worked in the Tenth Street Studio Building, and co-founded the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the period following the war, he painted portraits and refined genre scenes of elegant leisure.

In every Pokemon game you'll find different elemental types on each Pokemon. In recent games you'll see there are 17 different elements that each Pokemon can have.
Elements play a role in both a Pokemon's defense and offense. Each Pokemon is made up of one or two different types. At the same time, each move a Pokemon can learn causes one type of elemental damage.
EditIt's Super Effective
Some types are strong against others and cause twice (2x) the damage compared to neutral types. For example: an electric type move on a normal type pokemon does neutral damage (1x), but an electric type move on a water type pokemon does twice (2x) the damage. The game will tell you when one type is stronger than another by saying "It's Super Effective" when the move is used.
EditIt's Not Very Effective
Some types are weak against others and cause half (.5x) damage compared to neutral types. For example: a fighting type move attacking a bug type pokemon will do only half the damage. The game will tell you when one type is weaker than another by saying "It's Not Very Effective" when the move is used.
Lastly there are some types that won't even hit another type. For example: normal and fighting types won't touch ghost types, ground types won't touch flying types, and ghost types won't touch normal types. These types are immune to other types. The game will tell you "It Doesn't Affect" if you come across an Immune type.
EditMixing and Matching
When it comes to Pokemon of two types, you may cause 4x damage, .25x damage, or just break even. Examples:
- Electric type attacks on a water/flying type pokemon mix for 4x damage. This is because electric types are strong against both water and flying types.
- Fighting type attacks on a flying/poison type pokemon mix for .25x damage. This is because fighting types are weak against both flying and poison types.
- Poison type attacks on a grass/poison type pokemon mix for a neutral attack. This is because Poison types are strong against grass and weak against other poison types.
EditStatus Attacks
Make note, Elements may not play a role when using these types of Attacks. Sand-Attack (a Ground move) can hit a Flying Pokemon, but Thunder Wave (an Electric move) cannot hit a Ground Pokemon.
