Milton Jones at Grand Theatre in Leeds
Doors Open | Saturday 02 November 2013 at 7:30 PM |
Starts | Saturday 02 November 2013 at 8:00 PM |
Milton Jones is back on the road with another tour, this time imaginatively entitled On The Road. If you like the stuff he's done on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or in any of the nine radio series he's done for Radio 4 then this is the show for you. Hundreds of his celebrated one-liners, plus pictures he drew.
Clever, surreal but mainly just stupid stupid stupid. He's won awards you know.
'He's fast absurd, and very funny' Radio Times
'No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride' the Guardian

Tells the story of Scapa Flow, the Royal Navy's main anchorage in both world wars.
Housed in the oil pumping station of the former naval base at Lyness, this museum tells the story of Scapa Flow, the Royal Navy's main anchorage in both world wars. There are artefacts from HMS Hampshire, lost off Orkney in 1916 with Lord Kitchener on board. The scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet on June 21 1919 forms part of the display, along with other World War I exhibits.
A display on HMS Royal Oak records how this battleship was sunk by a German submarine in Scapa Flow early in World War II. One of the oil storage tanks houses a display of larger exhibits from World War II, while an audio visual display recreates a wartime air-raid over Scapa Flow, complete with antiaircraft guns. The Centre can be reached by a short ferry trip over Scapa Flow to the island of Hoy. The ferry terminal is just in front of the Centre.
To ensure there has been no change to the opening times or details on this page, please check with the museum directly before visiting.

Comment posted on Another part of the cost of the A83 closure by Malcolm Kirk
Welcome back – you are nearer the truth than you think – Yes I have owned sailing boats since my teens – yes I was a Royal Yachting Offshore Instructor for twenty years – yes we had our own Sail Making business – yes my sons were two of Scotland's top sailors – yes I am getting on a bit and yes my beard is fairly white. Does that make you feel good ? ( PS – I have also heard all the StarTreck jokes )
However back to reality – if you were incompetent enough to allow your diesel tank to run dry so you were left floating around offshore with no means of propulsion then you would soon find other things were beginning to run out as well for example water / food / your crew's sanity. You can live in your dreamworld lassie of always being supported by others who work their socks off, if you want – but in the yachting analogy I would make sure that until you thought things through properly and took proper responsibility for your actions, you would never go to sea with a crew gain.
My Occupation – work 6 till 6 – walk two splendid dogs – build and fly radio controlled model aircraft – presently fitting out an old Cadet sailing dinghy for one of the kids at the local sailing club – make anti wind turbine videos and post to youtube – work on two thirds of an acre of garden with greenhouse etc – do as my wife asks (joke) etc etc. Check out achnandarrach youtube or:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyNDgoH5dBI
Malcolm Kirk also commented
- Robert – Here's one I made earlier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoagogruVnY
Doc and anyone still following this – Please read the Express Article – says it all really
The Guardian deliberately misconstrued the evidence in that piece – patience – all will be revealed when I come back.
How much renewable energy would I accept at the present rip off costs – NIL.
I love the way you and SR keep implying I am being obsessive – no – just trying to work with honest decent people to establish fair play for the consumers in this country. - There is no subsidy given to fossil fuelled Power Stations.
Which bits have SR and you been avoiding – where do we start :-
Allt Dearg / Ardrishaig / gravy train / excessive subsidy income / exorbitant electricity costs / up to 9 times in some cases / massive massive guaranteed profits / ridiculous 20 year contracts / ever increasing household bills / community bribes / virtually nothing manufactured in this country / our money paid straight out to people abroad / actual jobs -mainly Spanish hot air / questionable man made global warming / NETA graphs proving the uselessness of wind power / July figures pathetic / present daily subsidy £27.4 million whether they generate or not / who else gets paid millions for not working / billion pound subsidies to be quadrupled/there is probably more !
You have 45 lines in which to match my suggested topics with answers. And please don't say you are too busy – you appear on all these Forums all too often for anyone to believe that.
I am not a subscriber to the Daily Express but I have just been sent todays headline " Energy bills to rocket by £300 pounds.
Now I must go – all Ireland awaits !!!!http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/338051/Energy-bills-to-rocket-by-300
- Almost forgot:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9457102/George-Osborne-Britain-must-be-more-attractive-to-remarkable-oil-and-gas-industry.html
- Morning ! You will be sad to learn that I am off later on a round Ireland trip in a 36 foot diesel guzzling 42 knot Red Bay fast RIB. OOOh Nooo I here you cry – yep – afraid so.
Doc – I am worried about SR – he has been much quieter and less abusive than I am used to – do you think he is OK or are my well reasoned arguments finally getting through to him ?
You, yourself, were asked and asked to give the contrary proposition to my mini thesis posted above as No 2 – that you have patently avoided doing so will be obvious to everyone following this Forum. You also failed to condemn Wind Farm operators who demand £800 from the National Grid for £55 of supposed losses – nothing to do with balancing – just sheer unadulterated greed.
You will no doubt come up with some supposedly clever retort but I really think we can all see through you by now.
Robert – I'll let you get back to abusing the 'Ferryman' and saving up your pennies for your tunnel under the Clyde.
Remember – keep a good sense of humour about you at all times ! - Fatuous has just been redefined by the doc to mean " How to get out of answering serious questions which to far I have avoided"

- First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Come on – wake up to the wind turbine rip off:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scotland/10077024/1.5-million-paid-to-shut-down-new-Scottish-wind-farm.html - New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
Absolutely none Robert – just someone of an age who has been politically aware and has seen the comings and goings of politicians over many decades and can assess the best times and the worst. Realistically I might vote labour in Argyll just to find some honest to god decent local politicians who know what it is all about for the benefit of the populace of Argyll. For the benefit of the UK – my homeland – I might very well vote UKIP if there was a candidate standing. - New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
You know what – as a Tory – with UKIP leanings – I find this attempt by the SNP at trying to appoint even basic local politicians to be absolutely hilarious – reflects exactly the qualities of their Holyrood MSPs perfectly. - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Farage was wrong to use the expression just as everyone else is. The Fascists and Communists murdered thousands of decent people just as the Islamists are doing today. So what's changed. What's changed is that we are now well aware of what happens in the rest of the world on a day to day basis so we can pretend to try and stop the slaughter – fat chance – lets just keep it out of our country and our homes and families. Being British is good. - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Well there's a well biased Daily Record opinion. I would remind you that we live in a democratic country and some of us are older and definitely wiser that many of the contributers here. Your so called 'right wing' has been norm for many of us throughout the decades and at no time was ever considered by the masses – 'right wing'. The country you have today was based on our vote and although politicians and Parties come and go there has always been traditional British stability . There used to be decency,honesty, fair play, a willingness to help others without the present necessity of having your name and picture on the 'front page'. As for scrawny students – well they always grow up eventually. The use of the word 'fascist' refers to Hitler / Mussolini/ the opposite supposedly being Stalin. Any reference to all these heinous dictators who murdered millions as representing any party in the UK, is offensive.
I would like to see a survey where the interviewer offers up a map of the world and asks the question – ' In which of all these countries would you prefer to live " Think about it !

"Stunning…Timely…A solitary quest with global implications." ~ The New York Times, 'Critics' Pick'
"If there was ever a film that needed to be on the big screen, this is it!" ~ David Courier, Sundance senior programmer
This compelling Emmy Award winning documentary shows the dirty side of hydraulic fracturing and natural gas, an energy source the industry touts as a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine having little recourse, other than accepting an unregulated industry in your backyard. SPLIT ESTATE maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health.

Stephen Colbert joins US presidents at Madame Tussauds wax museum
WASHINGTON (AP) — Stephen Colbert is taking his place among the presidents at the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Washington and will be featured in a new media gallery.
Colbert visited the museum Friday to unveil a wax figure created to represent him. The museum says Colbert donated his own clothes to dress the figure in a suit, tie, cuff links and lapel pin. Colbert wore an identical outfit.
The new figure will be the centerpiece of a new media gallery with a replica of "The Colbert Report" set where guests can sit next to Colbert's figure behind his fake news desk.
Designers from Madame Tussauds went to Colbert's New York studio in June to take more than 250 measurements and photographs of the Comedy Central star to create the wax figure.

Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Series: Miracles and Science
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
Series: The Biblical Premise of Uniformitarianism
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 1: An Ancient Earth
The only conclusions in science which are widely accepted are those which are supported by multiple, reinforcing lines of evidence – "all roads must lead to Rome". If there is even one scientific trajectory that seems to clearly lead off to Peoria instead of Rome, the scientific process demands that the scientist find out why.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Navigating the Crises
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Series: It's an Old World After All
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.

We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
"Centered": The Language of Science and Faith
In a recent interview with the Sirius XM radio show Centered, Karl Giberson sat down with host Don Belanus to discuss the book The Language of Science and Faith.
Exodus, the Plagues, and the Cosmic Battle
It is obviously important to spend a lot of time discussing the scientific data. But it is also important to deal with the biblical data. Why? Because our expectations about the Bible affect how we handle the scientific data.

Miles 20 Years LaterThis is not from the LA show, but this gives a fraction of the feeling of the night. Miles left the planet 20 years ago, but his music, his cultural affect continues. Three of his alumni, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock (lot of alliteration there) and Wayne Shorter teamed up and did a series of concerts celebrating his music. Since Miles didn't look back, they turned the music inside out and arranged as the soundtrack to Miles' dreams. After going backstage, I was leaving with my man Steve McKeever and said I had never met Herbie Hancock. Steve said he's never taken a picture with him. So we went back to fix both those mistakes. Herbie was lovely and we got the dope picture with Herbie and Marcus in the shot. Niiiice, real nice. |
John Singleton Tribute At The DGASpeaking of John Singleton, John asked me to moderate a discussion with him about his work in a star studded tribute to his career. As John said, it was like our conversations in the parking lot of Golden Apple Comics, but now with a audience of hundreds watching. I got a lot of great emails from people who enjoyed our comfort with each other along with our different styles. |
Enter The Dragon 40th AnniversaryThe Academy had a special screening of ENTER THE DRAGON with key surviving cast and crew present. They told great stories, then we watched the movie again…which I had not seen in its entirely since I was a kid. Damn it holds up! What a great time! It is lean and mean as a mug! Afterwards we enjoyed the amazing exhibit of classic kung fu movie posters donated to the Motion Picture Academy by Stephen Chin. Here's a picture of Selwyn Hines with John Singleton and his son, who is now a student at USC. |
Back On The Fantastic Voyage!
Jamie Foxx kicked it off with a variety show of a performance with music and comedy guest stars ranging from Jay Anthony Brown, Guy Torry and Kym Whitley to Tank, Little Kim, Biz Markie and Trey Songz. He seamlessly weaves comedy and music together like no one else. Jamie is a world class total entertainer and a great guy on top of it. Afterwards, Tom Joyner told me he didn't expect Jamie to do all that, and we didn't know how any other act could follow him. |
Back To WorkThe day after the Oscars, I had to report to work to prep an episode of the long running series BONES. I would not have planned it that way, but when I booked the episode months ago, who knew I'd be a nominee? They were kinda surprised I made it, and I wasn't entirely there, but I was welcomed by a wonderful cast and crew. And I got to work with these lovely ladies. BONES means there will be bones. Here is this weeks' victim. Thanks for the portrait, Gordon! |
NAACP Image AwardsOn February 1st, I produced the NAACP Image Awards. Moment of clarification: in television, the highest title is executive producer, which I was on this show along with Brad Lachman. On movies, the main "producer" title is producer, which I am on Django along with Stacey Sher and Pilar Savone. Most civilians not in the entertainment business mix them up, or give me jobs on projects that I didn't do, like direct the Image Awards (Tony McCuin did that) or write and direct Django (Quentin Tarantino did that). Back to the Image Awards. I knew it was going to be a great show when the NAACP told them they were giving Harry Belafonte the Springarn Medal, their highest honor. Mr. Belafonte is a person I try to honor whenever I can. He received BET's top honor when I was there, and I was glad to do it again. Seeing living legends Sidney Poiter and Harry Belafonte onstage together blew everyone's mind. This was the most popular moment in the show. No surprise there. By the way, when I asked Mr. Belafonte if he minded if Wyclef performed in his honor since he had such deep respect for him, he loved the idea, loved Wyclef and suggested that Common join him. That's how hip the 85 year old Mr. Belafonte is. Jamie Foxx won the Entertainer of the Year Award, which is an audience award, not just the NAACP membership. As usual, he brought it home with an amazing heartfelt speech. I HATE that it got clipped at the end…but this is NBC, not BET…we could not run long. |
I Miss Your Smile! Get the Flash Player to see this player. TERRY GLOVER has been a friend of mine for a long time. One of my first jobs after I graduated from college was in the Illinois State Arts Program. Cable was still being installed across the country and as part of the negotiation for the right to provide cable to a city, cable companies had to provide a public access channel, a studio and equipment for locals to make their own shows. I was brought in to teach folks how to use the equipment in interesting ways. I didn't know much about video, but I did know I wanted access to cameras and editing bays, so I stumbled my way through teaching in local high schools and community groups in a small town called Zion Illinois. Zion was founded by a religious cult who thought the world would end at the dawn of the 20 century so they went to the lake for a great view of it. When the days kept coming, they just settled in there. Most of the streets are alphabetical and have Biblical names. On the weekends, I would pack up a camera and some lights and drive down to Chicago where I knew one person: Richard Pena, who was running the film program at the Art Institute of Chicago. Richard graciously let me stay on his couch. Eventually I met other filmmakers in Chicago like Floyd Webb, Sergio Mims and Terry Glover . With them as my core supporters, I begged, borrowed and stole my way into shooting a half hour short film called REGGIE'S WORLD OF SOUL. It was a no budget version of IN LIVING COLOR years before that show was launched. I have no idea how I got so many wonderful people to help me out with no money, but I did. Terry had a great smile and her temperament balanced out the whole circus act. Years later, Terry reached out to me after she became managing editor of Ebony, asking about replacing the old "Just For Laughs" cartoon section in Ebony for something relevant to the 21st century. I volunteered myself to write the new strip, and she was surprised but happy. She wanted an epic graphic novel with intrigue and politics. I wanted that too, but knew I needed to deliver some family oriented laughs too. So YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH, which mixed Cosbyesque sitcom (usually from my own life) with my ongoing obsession with transforming and uplifting my home town of East St. Louis, was born. Terry was a tough editor, but very supportive and helped protect me from other folks at Ebony who clearly hated the political content of the strip. To keep it alive under increasing editorial scrutiny, I dumped the overtly political plotline, and focused on subversively political family humor. Sometimes Terry would disappear, unreachable for several weeks. Eventually she revealed she was undergoing chemotherapy. But she wouldn't really talk about it. |
Defending The Indefensible: Great White Hype
Producer and director Reginald Hudlin first became a noted filmmaker back when he was attending Harvard University when he created an award winning short film called House Party. That same film would be picked up by New Line Cinema and remade into a feature length megahit by the same name with rap dup Kid and Play in the leads. The job led to him directing the Eddie Murphy vehicle Boomerang (which still stands as one of the tipping point in Eddie's career before moving on to more genteel fare), and his successes afforded him the ability to go a lot grander on his next project. Set against the backdrop of professional boxing with a screenplay by Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump) and Tony Hendra, The Great White Hype came hot on the heels of a much publicized joke of a real life fight between a fresh out of prison Mike Tyson and some random ass white guy named "Hurricane" Peter McNeeley from Massachusetts who probably had no business ever being in the ring with the former champ. McNeely got over-hyped and threatened to wrap Tyson in a "cocoon of horror" and white America lost their shit. Here was a clean cut white boy who was going to beat up a former prisoner and the baddest man on the planet! Don King promoted the fight like it was Jesus fighting Satan with broken glass taped to their fists in an Outback Steakhouse. It was one of the highest grossing fights of all time… and it was over in less than two minutes. Before: After: Taking a healthy dose of inspiration as to what infamous fight promoter Don King had made of the sport of boxing, Hudlin landed an all star cast to tell a similar, satirical version of the same incident that looked to talk a bit about racism. Before he became the (now former) president of BET in 2005 and before he lampooned himself openly as a producer of the groundbreaking animated series The Boondocks, Hudlin had made a film that was too far ahead of its time to really be a financial success. It debuted at number four at the box office and sank like a stone shortly after, making just barely over $8 million. Reviews on The Great White Hype were mixed and Hudlin's star as a director faded slightly with him going on to help things like Serving Sara and The Ladies Man, but looking back now, he was really onto something. One doesn't need to look further than the opening seconds of Hudlin's film to see an obvious comparison to the same sort of racial satire that's on display in Django Unchained. There are two black scorpions shown in a close up fighting to the death in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas. Just as one of them seems to have the battle won, an enormous, shiny, and new Cadillac Brougham squashes them both dead under its wheels without even thinking about what happened. The plot set-up generally follows the McNeely debacle to a T, minus the whole champ being in prison thing and using real names so they didn't get sued. Turban wearing boxing promoter and loud mouth Reverend Fred Sultan (Samuel L. Jackson, still riding high on his Pulp Fiction success) can mind fuck even the best and brightest simply by repeating "I love you" and "You're my brother!" The power he wields is clear and he disingenuously prays to every deity there possibly is, and sports a turban to cover up his blonde, Uncle-Tom-ish haircut. He represents the heavyweight champion of the world James "The Grim Reaper" Roper (Damon Wayans, in one of his best performances), who just isn't the draw he used to be. Undefeated in 38 fights, Sultan has built his product up far too heavily. Gate earnings and pay-per-view bounties have taken a nose dive, and he can't even afford to pay the already pissed off champ what's owed to him. The idea is presented to Sultan that there needs to finally be a white chump to fall to Roper instead of just watching him destroy more black people since fights with white boxers in main events have always meant bigger paydays for everyone involved. The patsy they discover after some creative searching is Cleveland grunge rocker Terry Conklin (Battleship and Friday Night Lights director Peter Berg). He was a former Golden Glove winning amateur, is dumb as a stump, and was the only person who was able to knock out the former champ when both were coming up. Now a sensitive, goofy looking Buddhist, Sultan makes the young man a deal for $10 million that he can give to, in Conklin's own words, "eradicating the homeless population and poverty situation in America, as well as the United States." On the surface, the social satire seems pretty obvious, but there's a lot more going on in Hudlin's film than just the main plotline to make things interesting. Documentarian Mitchell Kane (Jeff Goldblum, showing off how great he can be doing comedy) originally sets out to take down Sultan by way of an expose, but ends up becoming the promoter's PR guy instead after his old hype man (a nicely understated Jon Lovitz) can't put any good spin on what they've set up. Through Goldblum's character the audience gets to see first hand how Sultan can butter someone up into taking a bribe, and how the power behind his advances are far more devastating than any potential gains from the person taking the bribe. Roper and Sultan have also been openly ducking the true number one contender for the title, Marvin Shabazz (Michael Jace) for no real good reason other than to flat out ensure that the title never changes hands. Shabazz comes with his own personal hype man and mouthpiece, played by Django Unchained leading man Jamie Foxx as a camera shy shill who desperately wants to groom himself into a new version of Sultan. Terry takes his work seriously, working with a professional trainer (Jonathan Rhys-Davies) who tries in vein to get him to become a racist to anger him since his talent level isn't up to snuff. (His attempt to make the pacifist Terry seem like a beast to a black sparring partner by making him wear a confederate flag shit is one of the film's slyest throwaway gags.) He's only there because the owner of the casino housing the fight (Corbin Bernsen) and the head of the boxing commission (Cheech Marin) are both on his payroll. Terry even goes along with everyone saying he's Irish just to sell more tickets (because if you're a white boxer, you must be Irish). That joke becomes even funnier because most of the time when music plays him into a room some smartass starts playing Scottish bagpipes. There's a whole lot going on here to keep it all straight, but the script and direction are tightly constructed enough to make it work, but the real glue that holds the film together are the performances from the three leads working well within the crazy world that they seem to have constructed on their own. In Django Unchained, Jackson delivers one of the best performances of his career as a house slave working in the employ of Leonardo DiCaprio's boy emperor plantation owner during the final years of the antebellum southern US. In that film, Jackson plays a parrot on the shoulder of a more powerful man, but one with an unbeatable level of power among his fellow slaves due to his close relationship to the true mastermind. Sure, he'll sell out his own kind to get ahead, but it's a method of self-preservation that's served him well over his almost 80 year career. In The Great White Hype, Jackson delivers another one of his career best performances in the slave master role, and in many ways it's even flashier than the one DiCaprio gets to play in Tarantino's picture. Sultan has a harem of lackeys from every race and religion that would simply fall to their knees whenever he snaps his fingers. He's the man who gets what he wants because everyone fears him; they begrudgingly respect him because they're all opportunists themselves who see him as the true ideal of what they could be themselves, and because he's mastered the art of psychological manipulation. Sultan is the runner of the Mandingo fights in Hudlin's film. He hasn't gotten bored or sick of them, but they've been becoming less profitable. To maintain his power the money has to keep coming in to facilitate his deals. Instead of paying Roper, he just orders his staff to buy him two more cars. He talks down a frustrated, gun toting Shabazz by offering him a car. He offer's Marin's commissioner money, sex, and drugs to give Conklin a bullshit ranking to ensure a title fight, which he declines and says he wants power instead. Sultan, with Jackson's most cold blooded line reading in the movie, simply says "fuck you" and the stooge in a suit is forced to acquiesce to the intimidation. Jackson gets his most open opposition in the form of Goldblum's tarnished idealist, and their relationship isn't like anything else in the film. The cheekily monikered Kane knows a lot of secret factual information about Sultan, and while he's clearly done his research, within two seconds of their first encounter in a steam bath and spa Sultan has already sized up and analysed who this reporter is. He's not an idealist, but a shill out to make a name for himself by going after a high profile target. It seems like it isn't the first time someone had tried that, and Kane emerges from the room with a job offer that he quickly takes to betray his ideals. The seed was also placed by Sultan at the exact same time to eventually have Kane become so seduced by this newfound sense of power that he has a tragic way of cutting him loose now that he's no longer making the documentary. On his own, Goldblum gets the chance to play a part early on in Hudlin's slight, but amusing potshots at the artifice of documentary filmmaking. A scene with him attempting to interview Jace and Foxx underlines quite nicely just what a rube he truly is. The awkward pause Goldblum has become known for over the years would be put to excellent use here in a performance sure to appeal to fans of the actor. As the pugilists, Berg doesn't have to do a heck of a whole lot except play Terry as a potentially brain damaged dumbass that says more inappropriately stupid things than he probably should, but it's hard not to feel for the guy as he actually himself becomes corrupted by what he sees around him. He never abandons his social morals, but he becomes just as cocky as the champion; an aggressive shit talker with not much to back up his words outside of an admittedly killer overhand right hook. Wayans on the other hand gets used a bit more sparingly and wisely. He has his own entourage that will gladly kiss his ass, but he's definitely the lone wolf who has stopped caring about his prey. His training for the joke of a fight thanks to his frustration at not being paid consists of downing pints of ice cream and smoking while doing push-ups. He's constantly admonishing his own long suffering trainer that his "blackness will beat him." Sultan's pretty convinced of it, as well, but none of it matters since Roper refuses to even see Sultan or come to anything on time because he isn't getting compensated for it. He doesn't even get angry enough to show up for the fight until someone shuts off his inspirational tape of Dolemite. He knows he's being used and he's trying to fight back in his own way. Wayans doesn't play Roper as a smart-ass, but as a deadly serious misanthrope who never smiles, but he probably finds everything going on pretty funny. Much like The Boondocks, Hudlin peppers the film with wall to wall jokes while calling bullshit on the glitz and glamour of the fight game, equating it to something perfectly unwinnable and to a backhanded form of indentured servitude. It's hard now to see why such a film came and went so quickly from theatres, especially considering that the four films that beat it out in its opening weekend didn't have nearly the same amount of smarts. Maybe people thought it just cut too close to the bone despite the cast or maybe it's because that all boxing films with the exception of Rocky have been box office poison. Either way, the time is ripe for a rexamination of this one. |
Django Unchained Producer's Diary: Part IIAn Inside Look at the Making of One of the Season's Most Anticipated -- and Controversial -- MoviesBy Reginald Hudlin From Ebony Magazine February 2012, Jackson Hole, WyomingWe're high in the mountains in Jackson Hole, and it's freezing. The temperature never gets above 12 degrees Fahrenheit, but when we first arrive on set at 5 a.m., it's 15 degrees below zero. You have to watch your step; I moved off the path and one leg plunged waist deep in the snow. Jamie Foxx is training to be a quick-draw gunfighter. Sometimes the guns are so cold, the misfire. They have to be warmed with hair dryers to function properly. The working conditions are tough, but it doesn't matter because the shot looks great. February 2012, New OrleansQuentin is very unusual in the film industry because he is "cinematically ambidextrous" -- he's as good a writer as he is a director and vice versa. He's also a brilliant film critic. One the weekends, Quentin would screen movies for the cast and crew. It might be a classic kung fu film such as Snake in the Eagle's Shadow; a great Black action film such as Coffey, or an early film in the career of a Django cast member, such as Return to Macon County with Don Johnson. The best part would be Quentin's introduction of the film, during which he would provide insights into why he loved it. His observations would transform how you saw the movie. Afterward, there would be a vigorous discussion that was better than any you'd hear in a graduate film class. February 2012, New OrleansKerry Washington is on set now, and she's spending a lot of time perfecting her German. Her character in the film, Broomhilda von Shaft, grew up as the servant of German immigrants who taught her the language. This creates a special bond between her and Django's partner and ally, the German dentist-turned-bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Although her language coach says she sounds great, she keeps practicing. she goes beyond the dialogue, learning a German lullaby that ends up in the film. This is Jamie Foxx's second film with Kerry Washington playing his wife, and their bond is evident on-screen and off-screen. Whenever she speaks German, he beams with pride. He loves the idea of Black viewers seeing a character and an actress with that much versatility. March 2012, New OrleansThough we had been filming for months before Samuel L. Jackson came to the set, his arrival changed the vibe on the film. He's the actor most closely identified with Quentin's films -- especially his brilliant work in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown -- and he's made some type of appearance in nearly every Tarantino film. Jackson plays Stephen, the treacherous head house servant on the plantation where Broomhilda has been sold. Quentin and Samuel have a deep trust and respect for each other, similar to the relationship for each other, similar to the relationship Quentin has with Christoph Waltz who won an Oscar for his magnificent performance as Col. Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds. To have Samuel and Christoph and Jamie and Kerry and Leonard DiCaprio -- one of the biggest stars in the world -- feels like an embarrassment of riches. Leonard playing a supporting role -- and as the villainous plantation owner Calvin Candie, at that -- is unusual for him. But he did it because of his respect for Quentin as a filmmaker and his strong feelings about racial intolerance. In conversations with him about the role, Leonardo said he wants people to understand the twisted logic that people in that era used to justify their behavior. Despite his classic movie star looks that allow him to effortlessly play roles that would have gone to Clark Gable in another era, he's very much a member of the hip-hop generation. As each generation sheds the racial baggage of the previous one, it's important to remember how things were so we can understand where we are. September 2012, Los AngelesBirth of a Nation is [studied] in film schools across America. It is a historically important film because of many of the technical innovations of the time, such as the close-up, but also because it tells the story of the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in heroic terms. While the racist politics of the film are dismissed out of hand by professors who encourage their students to focus on the filmmaking, I remember watching it and hearing my fellow students (none of whom was Black) cheering at offensive points of the film. When it screened at the White House, President Woodrow Wilson said, "It is like writing history in lightning," I think that was an apt description. Except for the history part. It's a period film that mythologizes the most vile racism. I thought about Birth of a Nation while watching the first hour of Django Unchained. Sitting in a converted garage-turned-editing room in a suburban neighborhood, we were transported to another time and place. For an intense hour, we alternated between suspense, all-out action, tears, laughter, pride and love. If we got all that out of the first hour, what was going to happen when we saw the whole movie? But most of all, I thought, this movie is the anti-Birth of a Nation. Whereas Birth painted Black men as evil brutes, Django is a full human being: strong, moral, intellectually curious and courageous. In a world where Black men aren't allowed to ride on horses because that literally elevates them, Django's willingness to shoot straight, ride hard and talk back to White men reminds us of the great men and women of courage whose stories aren't told but paved the way for our freedom. |
Django Unchained Producer's Diary: Part IAn Inside Look at the Making of One of the Season's Most Anticipated -- and Controversial -- MoviesBy Reginald Hudlin From Ebony Magazine First Day of ProductionAs dawn breaks on the Django Unchained set, the first shot of the movie starts. Christoph Waltz, Oscar winner from his work with Quentin Tarantino in Inglorious Basterds, drives a dentist's wagon with an oversized tooth on a bouncy spring into the Western town. Next to him, a Black man is on horseback. It's Jamie Foxx, Oscar winner for his work in Ray, playing the lead role of Django. His hair and beard make him look like a cross between Jimi Hendrix, a young Gil Scott-Heron and a very youthful Frederick Douglass. He's wearing a bloody coat and hat he took from the slavers he is now free of. No shirt. In the distance, we hear the sound of a hammer driving nails into a hangman's scaffolding. When the women on the set see Jamie, there's a quiet intake of air from all of them. He's not trying to be sexy. In fact, he's grimy and filthy. But Jamie's also in peak shape, and the image of a Black man on horseback -- bloodied but not bowed -- is so striking, it creates an electric charge that everyone feels. Jamie's horse belongs to him, meaning he was already a rider with his own horse when he met with writer/director Quentin Tarantino about playing the lead role in the film. I don't know if a Western star has appeared with his own horse since Roy Rogers and Trigger, but it's one of the many reasons why Jamie is perfectly cast in the role. It's a physically demanding part that required months of quick-draw training, working in the subzero temperatures in Wyoming and the humid summers in New Orleans. But Jamie bears it all without complaint. He knows the ancestors he's representing onscreen endured miseries we can't imagine. The least he can do is experience a fraction of their pain to make sure his performance is accurate. Third Month of ProductionWe're shooting on Plantation Row in New Orleans. I had never been on a slave plantation before, and the natural beauty of the old South, with Spanish moss hanging off the overarching trees, provide an ironic contrast with the slave shacks below them where horrible crimes against humanity were committed on a daily basis. The ghosts are still there. As tour buses playing clips from Gone With the Wind drive past, I am happy to be working on a film that will tell the truth about the brave men and women who fought back. When we were shooting in California and Wyoming, we were focused on the "Western" aspects of the movie. Now we're focused on the South, and it's been a tough week for the cast and crew. Watching actors playing villainous overseers who tie a young woman to a tree stump as they prepare to whip her for breaking eggs has everyone on edge. While Cooper Huckabee, as Little Raj, tightens the ropes around her wrists, M.C. Gainey, who plays Big John, cracks a whip in one hand and carries the Bible in the other. In a brilliant last-minute addition, Tarantino had the idea of the character patching the holes in his clothes with pages from the Bible. Big John lectures her with completely bogus quotes from the Bible, taking advantage of her illiteracy to convince her that the enslavement of Black people is God's plan. Now the moment we've been waiting for is here: Django arrives, grabs the whip that was about to be used on the young woman and beats Little Raj mercilessly with it. For the whole cast and crew - Black, White, Native American and Asian - it's a huge cathartic relief. Once payback is delivered, you can feel the crew getting giddy. Set visitor Kenny Leon, the Broadway director who had just worked with cast member Samuel L. Jackson on the play The Mountaintop, can't believe what he's seeing. "I know you said he was going to whip him, but he beat him till he got tired!" He pauses, then adds, "Why can't this movie come out next week?" After a couple of takes, I walk over to Quentin and ask, "Between the two of us, we would know the answer to this: Is this the first time in cinematic history that we've seen a slave master beaten with his own whip?" Quentin goes quiet, mind racing through millions of images in seconds, then says, "Yes." We quietly fist bump, then go back to work. As ferocious as Django is during the scene, the minute the director calls "Cut," a compassionate Jamie Foxx re-emerges and lends a helping hand to the man he was just wailing on. "It's just a movie," Jamie would often say to put the emotional weight of the work in context. These words electrified me. I thanked him profusely for his insights and shared the minister's story with as many cast and crew member a possible. If there was ever a sign that we were on the right track, this was it. |

Examples of areas of application in computer science include data mining, storage in disk arrays, the design of parallel algorithms, software testing, database formatting, file organization, the analysis of algorithms, the design of networks, and interconnection strategies for networks. Examples of other applications in information theory include wireless networking (the design of radio and satellite networks), internet communication protocols, signal processing, and multiaccess communications.
Many of the applications in molecular biology/biotechnology come from the human genome project: mapping genomes, forming the clone libraries, and designing chips for DNA probes. In the past year and a half, a new application of designs has come out of Wall Street; (t,m,s)-nets are being used in numerical integration problems in financial mathematics. All of these applications share a common feature; they require the construction of highly structured combinatorial designs.

What are HSAs?
Each year our PTA selects an individual from our school or community to receive the Honorary Service Award (H.S.A). The H.S.A. recognizes an individual who has demonstrated outstanding service to children or youth in our community. Your nominee could be someone from anywhere in our community. He/she does not have to be a member of the PTA nor does he/she need to have children enrolled at our school. He/she can be any member of the community and/or group within our community. The nominee should be someone that is an advocate for all children.
Nomination Form
The La Mariposa PTA makes a set donation to the
CA State PTA
in each recipient's name. Recipients receive a framed certificate and are formally recognized at the Camarillo Council Awards banquet held each Spring. Funds contributed to the HSA Program provide resources for the California Scholarship and Grant Program. (
In 2009 La Mariposa received a $1000 Healthy Lifestyles Grant for our Play for Life Program thanks to CA State PTA and their HSA Program.)
Award Categories:
An Honorary Service Award (HSA) may be given to an individual or organization in special recognition of outstanding service to children and youth.
A Continuing Service Award (CSA) may be given to an individual or organization in special recognition of continued service to children and youth and may or may not have received a California State PTA Honorary Service Award.
The Golden Oak Service Award is the most prestigious PTA award in California. This award may be given to an individual or organization that has made significant contributions to the welfare of children and youth in the school or community. La Mariposa has only awarded this one time.
The Very Special Person (VSP) Award may be given by individuals or PTA constituent organizations to recognize an individual or group.

non-superfans week 13
, 12-07-2010 at 10:19 AM (1610 Views)
I wasnt able to watch the Bears game this week, as I was @ my nieces birthday party (in WI, ugh!) Im glad that they kept pace on the Pack, but it sounds as though it was a second-half effort. We face a Pats team that just steamrolled their division rivals this week, and Im hoping that traveling on a short week affects them. On to imaginary news:
Riczaj v. Boocheeman
Riczaj had a tough week, as Miami sold out to stop Peyton Hillis, and the Bears relied on their running game, at the expense of Johnny Knox. Danny Woodhead and Jonathan Stewart broke double digits. Boochee had solid lines out of Shady McCoy and Reggie Wayne, scoring 25 and 26 respectively. Jamaal Charles scored 13, and Kevin Kolb still didnt play.
Riczaj64 Boochee85
Globe Of Frogs v. BearfanMike
Globe got 19 out of MJD, and 14 out of Phillip Rivers, while Dwayne Bowe was shut down by Denver. BFM had a good DEF performance from MIN, but Cassel struggled (12), and Ryan Torain is still hurt.
Globe 73 BFM63
Papabear v. Hammer Of The Gods
Derek jumped out to an early lead with 16 out of Schaub on Thursday night. His RBs kept him rolling, combining for 40, and Anquon Boldin added 17. Hammers QB, Peyton, still put up decent numbers despite his current woes, kicking in 18. Giants D added 20, and Vernon Davis added another 18. Hammer had to make up points on Monday night, and Green-Ellis did what he could with nearly 20, but Hammer fell .72 short. Derek gets a tight win.
Papabear99 Hammer98
Norman v. Nick
Norman is our leagues hottest team, on a 5-game win streak. Aaron Rodgers earned 27, and Andre Johnson got 15. Clevelands DEF scored well in a tight game vs. Miami. Nick had Michael Turner score 14, but Fitzgerald and Eli struggled. Nick had 4 goose-eggs on hurt players. Norman has a big matchup with Bigwill this week, and could sneak into the playoffs with a win, after starting the season in the cellar.
Norman89 Nick35
Menacemanic v. Bigwill
Menace got a useful line out of Drew Brees (19), and Calvin Johnson scored a TD (boo!) for 12. Michael Bush surprised with 95 yds and a TD against SD. Bigwill suffered through Kyle Ortons worst performance of the season (.68). He got good days from his RBs (Steven Jackson 17, Thomas Jones 10), but having only 1 WR active (DeSean Jackson, 8) ultimately hurt him.
Menace70 Bigwill56
Koko v. American Pitbull
In a battle for first place, Pitbull jumped out early with Michael Vick scoring 27 to Arian Fosters 22. Pitbull got 16 out of Ced Benson, and 13 from Gates. Seattles DEF even kicked in a respectable 12. koko had pretty much everybody but Shiancoe doing endzone dances, as AP scored 3TD, Jennings scored 2TD, TO and Wes Welker scored 1TD, and Tom Brady just abused the Jets for 4.
Koko144 Pitbull97
Koko takes over the #1 spot by ½ game and 96 overall points, and clinches a playoff berth. Pitbull clinched last week, and is in. Bigwill (8-5), Globe Of Frogs (7-5-1), and Norman (7-6) are all in the hunt.
Next Weeks Matchups:
American Pitbull v. Nick
Riczaj v. BearfanMike
Globe Of Frogs v. Hammer Of The Gods
Norman v. Bigwill (w/ playoff implications)
Papabear v. Menace
Koko v. Boochee

Unsolved: Renard Jackson
Updated: November 8, 2012
"He was a very kind and loving man. He had a wonderful sense of humor."
Ruscenda Jackson has fond memories of her brother who lived in one neighborhood for more than a decade. To people here on Holly Hill, he was the man who could fix a bike.
"Children in the area would come by and have problems with their bikes and he'd fix it for them for free."
Renard Jackson may have been helping others when he disappeared last fall.
"It was reported he was going to pay bills and he was running a couple of errands."
But, he never paid those bills. He vanished just a few days after Thanksgiving.
"Everyday's a struggle."
His daughter passed out flyers, and police canvassed the neighborhood. Divers searched Crystal Lake Park and other lakes because of a tip.
Helicopters were used to search along roads and ditches, but nothing led police to Jackson. Four months later, his body was found buried under debris in a yard next to his own home.
"It would suggest whoever put him there had the ability or knowledge to know that there was a vacant house and he could easily be put there without being detected, without being seen."
Investigators are working on several theories. Robbery is one possible motive. Others are in the case file. Sgt. Griffet is hopeful evidence at the crime scene will point them in the right direction.
"There is potential evidence that has been gathered and that's still being processed and looked at by the crime lab."
Information from the public would also help. The Jackson family is urging people to share what they know. And, as they prepare for a holiday which will never be the same, they'd be thankful for even the smallest detail.
"If this was your loved one, you'd want someone to come forward. You'd want some answers just like we want answers."
"I don't care how trivial, how small it may be. I'm asking you to please come forward and help us with this case because we need some closure."
Investigators interviewed several people of interest and say no one's been ruled in or out. They could even be looking for more than one suspect. That's why more information from the public is so vital in this case.
If you know what happened to 49-year old Renard Jackson, call police. You can remain anonymous and may earn a cash reward.

Interested in new Onitsuka Tiger by Asics products?
As the Japanese people recovered from the second world war and began to appreciate the benefits of sports, Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes were on their feet. The first basketball shoes in Japan had a tiger face design on the arch of the foot and this became Onitsuka's trademark. In the 1960's, Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes were worn not only by the Japanese, but also by top foreign athletes.
In 2001, ASICS America Corporation quietly resurrected the Onitsuka Tiger™ brand with original models of Onitsuka shoes and Onitsuka clothing updated in today's flavorful colors. Over the past few years, the Onitsuka Tiger™ brand has been enjoying a growing number of new, dedicated shoe followers along with a steady desire for Onitsuka clothing and Onitsuka bags, realized today on Zappos.com. Through sometimes secretive grassroots marketing efforts, ASICS® has been able to spread this word about this authentic comeback for Onitsuka Tiger™.
Now that the secret is out... Onitsuka Tiger™ is a growing and highly sought after brand with its ever-growing lineup of Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes, Onitsuka Tiger™ clothing and Onitsuka Tiger™ bags. There are more Onitsuka Tiger™ mens´s and Onitsuka Tiger™ women´s models just sitting in the ASICS® vault waiting to be re-released. The future is what this retro brand has to look forward to. Because ASICS® knows that there are people out there who don't need to run fast...they just want to look good.

Bought this shoes for my son. This is the only brand he will wear. We purchase him a new pair every year for his birthday. They last him all year....he wears them every day. His birthday is about the only time we can get him to travel home to visit...we think it is the shoes.

These look really awesome. However, I found out after a few times of wearing them the left shoe is crushing the back of my ankle. They fit fine, it is just the angle that the back of the shoe has is putting pressure on my tendon making it painful to walk/run or wear for days, so I stopped wearing them. Since I ran outside in the mud I figured Zappos wouldn't take them back.

These shoes were everything I thought they were going to be and I will definitely order more in the future! Just two things to note before you buy: 1) The back of the shoe does go up rather high, so don't wear low cut socks if you want to prevent irritation and 2) the shoes actually appear to be black unless they are in clear light.

Great looking shoe. Love the style. Only thing I noticed is certain colorways that use different materials will impact the size. I would pay attention to what is used in the heel area or the toe box (mesh, synthetic leather, etc). The ones with mesh in the inner heel part and mesh in the toe box will fit true to size. On the other hand, the ones with synthetic material in the heel I had to go up half a size. Other than that, awesome casual shoe to wear with jeans or khakis.

Aka Shibirudon
Eelektross pokedex
A rare Pokemon that has many people excited due to its great ability. However, it has the minor problem of being an Electric type with higher attack stat. However, thanks to the addition of Wild Bolt and Coil, that is not so much of a problem. I think it will be Borderline, but will still see some use in Overused.
Ability: Levitate
EVs: Attack, HP, Speed Nature: Jolly
Wild Bolt/Spark: Either have higher power or no recoil. I say go with Wild Bolt.
Coil: Increases Attack,Defense, and Accuracy (for Crush Claw.) One of the best stat raising moves in the game.
Crunch: ALways good to carry around a Dark type attack.
Crush Claw/Thunder Wave: The accuracy won't be a problem with Coil. And the lowered defense of the foe means they will be easy to take down. Thunder Wave is to be able to go first. I'd go with Crush Claw.
Well, I Guess Im The One To Give A Special Moveset:)
Nature: Quiet(with trick room support, if no trick room, use Mild or Rash, since you don't want to lower speed)
EVs: 252 Special Attack
Flamethrower: YAY, Another Electric Type With Flamethrower!
Thunderbolt: Yay For Thunderbolt!
Grass Knot: Coverage.
Crunch/Crush Claw/Brick Break/Return/Dragon Claw/Rock Slide/Flash Cannon: Backup.
Nature: MODEST (Its electric type so this will power up the special attacks) you may think im dumb by believe me thunderbolt is way more handy and a physical electric move such as wild chage .
Moves: Thunderbolt (STAB) Flash Cannon (Sp.atk. can knock out many ) Flamethrower (Uber Power with MODEST) Acid Spray (Sp.Def. reduced alot so opponent is Knocked by sp. moves)
PHASING FANG-BEARER (From Poke Profiles):
COIL (Attack, Defense, AND Accuracy boosts!)
DRAGON TAIL (Phasing + Attack boosts = deadly control)
SPARK (Why no Wild Charge, you ask? It's stronger and gets the Attack boost, but recoil is not a price to pay with this kind of set)
BRICK BREAK / DRAGON CLAW / ROCK SLIDE (Coverage of choice; take your pick)
RECOMMENDED ITEM: Muscle Band / Leftovers (If you REALLY wanna use Wild Charge)
RECOMMENDED NATURE: Adamant
RECOMMENDED EV SPREAD: / 252 Attack / 252 Special Defense (Or HP) / 4 Speed
This set is reminiscent of Utility-Zard and Crookodile. Switch in on a Ground-type to block Earthquake, and use Coil to set up. They'll likely switch in something else. Now you sweep when you're happy with your boost amount.
Use Dragon Tail for decent neutral coverage and power against a dangerous foe.
Item: Evolite Ability: Levitate Nature: Quiet EVs: 100 S.Attack, 158 Defense, 252 S.Defense
Coil Crunch HP(Fire) Zap-cannon
Coil boosts Attack, Defense, and Accuracy which is extremely useful here. Crunch is just a coverage move. HP(Fire) is for Steel types. Zap-cannon gets over 100% Accuracy after using Coil twice, giving you an accurate guaranteed Paralyze, Super strong STAB move.
Ability: levitate ev's 252 hp 252 spA 4 ATk item: leftovers moves: coil --> raises acc atk and def zap cannon --> whit acc boost zap cannon wil hit an par your foe hidden power ice to deal with dragon/ground/grass types dragontail to scout around the others party
Eelectross Item:electric gem/leftovers Coil (accuacy, attack, and defence raiser) thunder/wild charge (STAB) grass knot (just in case a pokemon uses Gravity and knows a ground type move) crush claw/thunder wave/zap cannon/rain dance (crush claw + coil = no problem, thunder wave slows down enemies, when an enemie dosen't faint from zap cannon the foe is automaticly paralyzed, and rain dance powers up thunder)
here is my elekross:
thunder-awesome thunder type move
acrobatics-for those pesky fighting types
brick break- awesome for those annoying ice types and all of those
and (drum role)
crunch:good for takeing out pyshcic but hopeing for a good ghost type atack
Eelektross (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Mixed sweeper
Eelektross (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SAtk Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef) - Thunderbolt - Flamethrower - Brick Break - Dragon Claw
Trick room support is recomended for this set
Eelektross (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Levitate EVs: 88 Atk / 168 SAtk / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Volt Switch - U-turn - Flamethrower - Dragon Tail
Ablilty: Levitate Nature: Modest EV's: HP, Def, Sp. Def (if you prefer a slow Tank)
Moves: Thunderbolt/Volt Switch Crunch FlameThrower Dragon Claw/Acid Spray
Bold & Italics: What I use Reason why I put Acid Spray is because it is a 100% acc. always lowers Sp. Def move, which is what I see used alot lately, Prefably for Thunderbolt.
heres mine :p Eelektross :D Nature: Modest Abilty: Levitate Moves: Acid Spray Flamethrower Thunderbolt and Hidden Power :p what do u guys think?
Eelektross (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs:252 Atk/(252 Def or 252 Sp Def since coil raises defense already) Careful Nature(+Sp Def,-Sp Atk)
-Coil/Spark(raises attack/defense and accuracy by one stage so its good for this move set) Spark [(stab plus chance of paralization)coil is still better for move set support] -Dragon claw(coverage) -Brick Break(coverage) -Crunch(coverage)plus chance to lower foes defense by one stage
you might wonder why i didn't put many powerful moves with stab well,my reason for that is because most electric type moves that eelectross learns is sp atk which is not good for this move set(except for wild charge with recoil)
If you put this move set on the move set calculator you will find out that there is no exception to those not very effective typing,so this move set either deals normal damage or a supper effective damage.
Eelektross (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Sp.Atk Rash Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Sp.Def) Thunderbolt Flamethrower Brick Break Dragon Claw
crunch[stab,flinch] wild charge[good move] dragon claw, thunder punch
I really like this guy
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SpD, 4 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Coil: One of the best stat raising moves in the game, helps it to tank physical hits while setting up.
Wild Charge/Thunderpunch: Either go for the overkill move or a slightly less powerful but still useful STAB move, your choice.
Drain Punch: Now that move tutors have been released this helps in Eelektross recovering back any health lost. Also helps to deal with Rock, Steel, Ice, Dark and Normal types (looking at you Blissey and Chansey!)
Crunch/Fire Punch/Dragon Tail/Aqua Tail: Crunch gives its almost unresisted coverage alongside Drain Punch, Fire Punch is for any Grass types that think they can get a free switch in, Dragon Tail is an excellent phasing move and helps deal with Dragon types and Aqua Tail helps deal with bulky Ground types and makes Volcarona think twice about coming in.
Well... with no weaknesses (unless your opponent has Mold Breaker or related ability), Elektross's movesets don't need to really cover much.
This is the moveset that my Elektross has.
Ability: Levitiate Nature: Jolly Hold Item: Leftovers/nothing (if you want to power-up Acrobatics)
Wild Charge - 90 Atk. power, 100 accuracy, but with small recoil. For Elektross, this may be more useful considering it's higher attack, but for a move with slightly higher power and no recoil, go with Thunderbolt, with 95 Sp.Atk. power and 100 accuracy + no recoil.
Flamthrower - Basically, the fire-type equivalent of Thunderbolt. 95 Sp.Atk. and 100 accuracy. 20% chance of burn (I think that's the percent). Just some coverage.
Acrobatics - 55 Atk. and 100 accuracy. (You can double the attack by unequipping item)
Dragon Claw - 80 Atk., 100 accuracy, a solid dragon-type move.
However, I later replaced Dragon Claw with Superpower with 120 Atk. and 100 accuracy, and reduced Atk. and Def. by 1 level.
There are many movesets to Eelektross cause he has no weakness. I'll show two: Physical moveset Eelektross - Electric Ability: Levitate Nature: Brave(+Atk -Spd) EVs: 86 HP / 252 Atk / 86 Def / 86 SpDef -Wild Charge/Thunder Punch - STAB -Aqua Tail/Iron Tail - Coverage -Coil - To support -Dragon Claw/Crush Claw/Crunch/Brick Break/Drain Punch/Rock Slide - Coverage Recommended item: Shell Bell(to recover the recoils) or Wide Lens( with Aqua/Iron Tail, Crush Claw, Rock Slide) or Life Orb(with Drain Punch)
Special moveset Eelektross - Electric Ability: Levitate Nature: Quiet EVs: 86 HP / 252 SpAtk / 86 Def / 86 SpDef -Thunderbolt/Discharge - STAB -Grass Knot - Coverage -Acid Spray - To support -Flamethrower/Giga Drain/Signal Beam/Flash Cannon - Coverage Recommended item: Life Orb(with Giga Drain) or Razor Claw(for more critical)
Physical Tank Eelektross Eelektross @ Flying Gem Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def Adamant Nature - Wild Charge - Coil - Drain Punch - Acrobatics
Coil is what makes this the tank that it is. Wild Charge is the main STAB. Drain Punch is for coverage and a form of recovery from other attacks and from recoil from Wild Charge. Acrobatics is also coverage and a way to deal massive damage to tough opponents.
