Daniel Craig as Bond.
Physically in terms of hair colour and stuff, he's not a good match with the other Bonds. But what I like about this guy is that he shows the aggressive type of Bond and not the seductive type. He'll do anything to finish the mission.
What the hell happened here? Promising revival to insulting talk of sausagefests it's the Avengers movie all over again . . .
Except no one referred to Black Widow as 'Russian tits'.
Actually, we're still kinda on track. We're just behind schedule 'cause of certain other recent events, but we're still trying to assemble. Main problem is the timezone stuff, quickly followed by "life" - and, well, the fact that we clearly need to figure out who's sensitive to what, so we can make the most sterile and inert recording known to man.

Welcome to the RPD Dispatch, we're back with all the regular cast Mr Spencer has been gagged but apart from that. So what did everyone think of Operation Raccoon City.
It was a game.
I agree.
<Mmpphh Mmphh>
Okay tune in next time when we'll be discussing Resident Evil Gaiden. Turns out that was a game too.
That about sums it up.
Anyway, news on status and stuff will come soon.
Well that is good to hear, the best news of the day actually, especially after the big disappointment that people call Ridley Scott's Prometheus.

Part of Sixers' first five, Nick Young starts to round out his role
PHILADELPHIA — At halftime of any basketball game, the entertainment options are limitless. For the Sixers the other night, all they needed to remain amused were the mid-game statistics.
"They all said that I was leading the team in assists," Nick Young was saying Sunday, breaking into a laugh. "I said, 'Hey, that's a first.'"
Young had made his first start since Dec. 18 Saturday, scored 20 points, had four assists and helped the Sixers thump the New York Knicks, 97-80. The plan was for the Sixers, tormented by slow starts, to start their most viable offensive players and to worry later about the diminished bench strength.
Known for his shooting — mostly, that he does it so often — Young provided his usual scoring. But he also defended well and had his four assists before halftime. More to form, he did not have a second-half assist, keeping his season high at five. Yet he was what the Sixers needed, when they needed it. He was active. Everyplace.
"The thing we have tried to do all year with Nick is try to force him to develop a routine and good habits," said associate head coach Michael Curry, who ran practice Sunday at PCOM in the absence of Doug Collins, who is recovering from sinus issues. "We wanted him to do things that you do as a winning ballplayer. And he's getting better. He's getting better."
That message hit Young in stride a couple of weeks ago when, though healthy, he did not play at all in the Sixers' 107-100 victory over the Houston Rockets.
"One of the things Nick did when he got that DNP was that he was the first guy to get upstairs at the next practice and get in his extra work in the weight room," Curry said. "So all of a sudden, Nick was preparing better. And when Nick's preparation is good, his production is good on the court. Then he got up and got some shots in and some one-on-one with Evan Turner. And since then, he has been able to produce on the court."
The Sixers were — are — short on time, still seven games below .500 with the Memphis Grizzlies challenging them at Wells Fargo Center tonight at 7. It's close to certain that they will start Young again, along with Turner, Spencer Hawes, Jrue Holiday and Thaddeus Young, as that group helped give them a 24-19 lead after one quarter Saturday. It was just the 11th time this season that they had led after 12 minutes.
"I really don't know," Nick Young said, smiling. "Doug may change his mind before the game."
Whatever the lineup twists, Young did nothing Saturday to lose his status. Indeed, his presence on the perimeter, and with the way he helped pressure the Knicks at the defensive side, kept the Sixers thick in good shots. Not coincidentally, Holiday, an All-Star, would go for a career-high 35 points. Continued...
"At the start of the second half, Nick was very hot and we kept running plays for him," Holiday said. "He kept getting to the free-throw line. I think that relaxes him, and I know it relaxes me. Nick takes a lot of pressure off of me. People really try to key on him, and obviously that leads to wide-open shots to get us rolling."
For reasons not entirely his fault, Young had become something of a personification of the Sixers' troubles in the first half of the season. Expecting to be anchored in the middle by Andrew Bynum --- and disturbed by their lack of shooting accuracy in a seven-game postseason elimination the prior spring in Boston --- they emphasized perimeter play and shooting in the offseason, signing Young, a free agent, to a one-year contract.
It hadn't been working quite as they'd hoped.
"The coaches have been pretty tough on me," Young said. "Every day, I hear it. I had no choice but to do my best and step up and do something out there."
He acknowledged that the recent benching had given him new inspiration.
"It hurts," he said. "I have been there before, in my rookie year, in my second year. I don't want to go back to that, just sitting there, not being on the court. It hurts. I want to be out there playing. I think I can do something. I think I can help this team out a lot. That's what hurts the most."
The sixth-year pro from USC had a chance Saturday when he made his fourth start of the season. He can prove it again in the fifth … and beyond.
"I just want to be on the floor, period," he said. "Whatever they want me to do out there, I am going to try to do my best to do it. That's how I go out there, with that mindset."
Even if it means leading the team — at halftime, anyway — in assists.

As we shoot the fabulous fashion story Fantastic voyage in the Chilean desert, we get to know what the crew is up to and learn about the thinking behind it all.
Stranded on planet fashion, mixing futurism with sleek sophistication is way to survive.

The Super Bowl performance, the documentary film, the much-anticipated new album and now an H&M collection inspired by her style. Admired by millions of fans, BEYONCÉ is never one to rest on her laurels. We secured an exclusive interview with the tireless Queen of Pop.
Singer, actress, dancer, director and possibly the most admired woman on Earth, the power package that is BEYONCÉ has sold 75 million records and was named the Most Powerful and Most Influential Musician in the World by Forbes Magazine last year. And she shows no sign of slowing down. She kicked off 2013 with a historical half-time performance at the Super Bowl and made her feature directorial debut with the autobiographical documentary film Life is But a Dream, which aired on HBO in February.
The summer months will be no less packed: coinciding with
the release of new music, the global superstar joins H&M as the face of the new summer campaign, and the inspiration behind a new beachwear collection.
If you've followed BEYONCÉ through the years, you may have noticed that she loves the sea. Snapped on holiday, she looks happy and relaxed, with those ultra-famous curves covered by great outfits, always wearing the ultimate summer accessory: a loving smile. It is her relaxed yet sexy summer style that works so brilliantly as a starting point for the H&M BEYONCÉ collection, which includes bikinis and other beach-perfect pieces, including a pair of high-waisted shorts, a body-con dress and a flowing beach gown slashed to the thigh. Items, in brief, for hot days and long nights of fashion and fun by the sea.
The thing about BEYONCÉ – her magic touch, if you will – is that she is not just one of the most successful or famous or beautiful women in the world, but one of the most loved, too.
It seems BEYONCÉ's popularity isn't just about fans who love her and spread the word, but also about BEYONCÉ loving them back. Asked about highlights in her career, she mentions her hits Crazy in Love and Baby Boy as two personal favourites, but adds: "Some of my fondest memories come from performing live, just seeing my fans from around the world and seeing how music can bring so many different cultures together. That stays with you, it's something you never forget."
Even when talking about the amazing choreography in her videos (Google "BEYONCÉ's best dance moves" for a quick reminder of exactly how accomplished a dancer she is) this humble superstar again chooses to pay homage to her fans: "What's been fun over the past few years
is watching fans create their own personal versions of the videos and posting them on YouTube. I love their creativity."
The H&M campaign commercial is likely to be just as popular and widely copied. Set up like a music video, the clip was created by Jonas Åkerlund, the bad-boy director who has also worked with Lady Gaga, Madonna and Rihanna. "It was incredible to work with Jonas," say BEYONCÉ. "We had a great time shooting the TV commercial for the Mrs Carter Show World Tour, so I was looking forward to working with him again. He has such a great imagination and I love seeing his visions come to life."
The imagery for the H&M campaign commercial was themed around the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. The latter of the four, water, has a serious resonance, as a resource that is scarce for many world citizens. This is why 25 per cent of sales of the tie-dye bikini in the H&M BEYONCÉ collection will be donated to H&M for Water. The H&M for Water initiative, a collaboration with Wateraid, was launched in 2002, and is dedicated to improving access to clean water and hygiene for the world's poorest people. With the help of celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, the H&M for Water initiative has already raised more than £2,650,000.
She is naturally beautiful, but BEYONCÉ is not one of those super- skinny women who claim they eat a mountain of pasta every day and
still don't put on any weight. Instead, she readily admits to working
hard to reach her goals. "When I am getting ready for a tour, I am
doing choreography seven hours a day," she says. "If I'm not preparing for a tour or already on tour, I work with a trainer, doing cardio and light weights and I have learned to make healthy eating choices." There you go: that perfect bod (even pregnant, BEYONCÉ looked the very definition of glamour dancing onstage in a mini-dress) didn't come from nowhere. Her attitude is very inspiring, since it suggests that others have a chance of succeeding, too.
So how does a super-celeb, one who is sure to get snapped by paparazzi whenever she steps out of the door, decide what to wear?
"It depends on how I'm feeling that day," says BEYONCÉ. "I like sexy but classic pieces; I love prints and patterns, and mixing textures as well as solid colours." She adds that she always loved a fitted jacket, and that "a great pair of stilettos and sunglasses" are her wardrobe essentials.
As so often, BEYONCÉ is quick to credit her team. "Luckily I have great, honest people around me to help. My stylists Ty Hunter and Raquel Smith are an influential part of the process. They keep me fresh." She reveals that her sense of style is owed to her mother. "I watched her from the time I was a little girl – she was so stylish. She was the first person I saw mix high-end pieces with more accessible styles and make it all work. And I've always admired the simple yet sexy styles of Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Kate Moss." Considering her own collection for H&M, BEYONCÉ says her favourites include the beaded shorts and the landscape print scuba dress. "I also really love the bikinis. I've been wearing H&M bathing suits for years, so this was
a fun collaboration for me."
You have to wonder just how much time BEYONCÉ will have for hanging out on the beach this year. The Queen of Pop will again meet her fans, as the Mrs Carter Show World Tour comes to major European cities in April and May and then continues to North America at the end of June.
"I've been working with Pharrell and Timbaland and Justin Timberlake and The-Dream. We all started in the 1990s, when R&B was the most important genre, and we all kind of want that back – the feeling that music gave us," she said to GQ magazine earlier this year. The song for the H&M commercial, Standing On The Sun, is an upbeat affair
that, according to the singer, "just makes you feel good. It's about being carefree and allowing yourself to live in the moment."
There's a good reason why Summer in the City by 1960s band the Lovin' Spoonful is on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of all time – it is a truth universally acknowledged that the vibe in the city when the sun shines down is happy, relaxed and light-hearted.
Everything seems to slow down in the summer. City residents are busy beasts by inclination, roaring along the streets. Somehow, in the summer they calm down, adopt a gentler pace, and smile more. The city becomes magical, and can even offer a genuine alternative to the beach.
It's not just the slow pace and nicer weather that make the case for summer in the city. A resort or the beach might be relaxed choices for holidaymakers, but the city is the cool option. Access to shopping, great clubs, and all the good food you could want means you don't have to make any concessions. Everything you need is exactly where it is during the rest of the year: on your doorstep. Where else can you start the day with brunch in a hip café and head down to the bookstore to buy all the latest fashion magazines before reading them in a shady spot in the park? Then perhaps an impromptu shopping spree because the sales are on, before meeting up with your friends to try out your new statement piece at a sweaty, cool-as-anything club?
The city is also the place to be fashionable in the summer. Life may slow down a bit when it gets warmer, but we all still want to look our best. Whether you are into the clear, sharp colours that are still on-trend, or prefer the perennial summer boho look, one thing is clear: in the city, summer style will be hotter than anywhere else.
In days gone by, they were the easiest way to pledge allegiance to your favourite band, but now the humble rock t-shirt has become an essential part of the wardrobes of many fashionistas, as we found out on the streets.
It can be so easy to get lost in the girly world of style trends, and what better way to kick it up a notch than to work your favourite rock 'n' roll tee into a fashionable look? A faded band logo on a soft black t-shirt has the ideal edge to toughen up a flirty tropical print or a cute miniskirt, like we spotted. It's also the stylish way to dress down a pretty outfit while still hanging on to your cool credentials. The best styling tip here? Mixing your rock tee with some jewellery, whether a big and bulky statement necklace or else a fine pendant and some delicate earrings.

Sportswear meets prep with a healthy dose of whites and neutrals in our Ways To Wear It shoot.
1. Cropped cool
Cropped suit trousers go a long way when paired with a rough and ready white tee. Simple style made edgy.
2. Clean and fresh
The right accessories give this athletic look a masculine charm: box-fresh white sneakers make sure these tailored separates are ready to hit the street.
3. Breezy blazer
How to smarten up your trusty warm-up wear? Try a light blazer over a hoody and track shorts for a rugged take on minimal athletic style.
4. White out
All white is the way forward for a brighter version of masculine basics. Shorts that graze the top of the knee sit perfectly with a fresh, crisp shirt.
All clothes by H&M.
This season's man is minimal and fresh, with the perfect proportions of clean athleticism and tailoring in his wardrobe. We talked to our Ways to Wear It stylist Amanda Johansson about mixing your favourite classics and staples to get the freshest new look for the summer.
What were your key influences for this shoot?
I was influenced by the idea of a young, sporty and sophisticated man. The style of classic Calvin Klein, the iconic white t-shirts worn by Marlon Brando and James Dean, and British polo-players.
What's the best way to give sportswear a fresh spin?
Don't be afraid to use sporty pieces in an athletic grey melange, and mix it with suit trousers to get a more refined look. Or try the opposite way – sporty trousers or shorts worn with a classic shirt or a blazer.
What are the key accessories for bringing sportswear to the street?
Mix it up with classic well-dressed pieces and finish it off with some sporty shoes. But remember, they need to be brand new and bright white!
What's your favourite look from this shoot?
My favourite look here is the cropped suit trousers – a bit shorter this season makes it even hotter – and the thin washed t-shirt with a vest on top. The combination with dressed up pants and a vintage-feel t-shirt is perfect for this season.
The interest in fixed gear bikes, so called "fixies", is growing in the USA. In Miami, we hang out with self-declared fixie junkie Sabrina, who loves the look and the lifestyle of the scene. She takes us to a film shoot of an independent movie about fixies in the trendy neighbourhood of Wynwood.
Something has happened to sexy dressing – it's gone sophisticated. Gone are the obvious erogenous zones – the brazen cleavage and perma-tanned thighs – replaced by a softer, subtler idea of what's sexy now.
It was evident on the catwalk, where ultra short body-con dresses have all but vanished in favour of veiled chiffon, clever cutaway sections and long skirts with now-you-see-it-now-you-don't splits. And it's been replicated on the red carpet, too. In response to the CBS TV channel's modesty guidelines for the Grammy Awards, Rihanna showed up in grown-up, floor-length Alaïa, while Beyoncé covered up in Osman's minimalist jumpsuit.
For Italian designers this is quite the departure from the molto short 'n' tight silhouette we love Gucci, Pucci and Versace for. Gucci's collection was one high-necked tunic after another, punctuated by long-sleeved dresses with peekaboo honeycomb sections. Pucci's virginal white parade was full of the kind of sexy-cool sheer-panelled trousers adored by style bloggers like Susie Bubble and Rumi Neely. Elsewhere, boxy, tailored shapes take over from clingy jersey, most noticeably at Preen and Givenchy, where suggestive splits and organza layers hint at what lies beneath.
To what do we owe this trend? Is it an overall fatigue of flesh flashing or perhaps proof of the growing influence of Middle Eastern consumers? Valentino's sheer, long-sleeved blouses and dresses with prim collars sum up the contradiction of discreet modesty and exposed transparency and it's worth noting that the brand is now owned by the Qatari royal family. A mere coincidence, or a sign of the times? In any case, we love this new option for sexy dressing. Modesty and allure is where it's at!
Sanna La Fleur is a DJ and recording artist living and working in Berlin. We follow her fascinating and creative life over a day.
Mixing textures and fabrics, this cool, undone look will be ready for the dog days of summer, not to mention those long hot nights!
1. Delicate dressing
Combine pale and sheer fabrics for an ethereal look. These loose trousers lend a tailored touch to a dreamy outfit.
2. Luscious layers
These muddy floral wide trousers are the right kind of neutral for summer – as the super-sequinned jacket layered on top goes to show, mixing bohemian prints adds up to the perfect uniform for the modern-day free spirit.
3. Cool contrast
Soften up a sharp, laser-cut eyelet skirt with a slouchy white shirt and straw beach hat.
4. Super fresh
Platform sandals make a striking accompaniment to a tiered miniskirt and cosy cardigan. Also, a hint of turquoise goes a long way.
All clothes by H&M.
East meets West in our Ways to Wear It shoot, inspired by both the soft feminine styles of Japan as well as rock 'n' roll and vintage chic from the archives, too. We asked our stylist Amanda Johansson about how these looks came together and how to get the look for yourself!
What was your inspiration for the shoot?
My inspiration for this shoot was both Asia, and also a touch of the rock 'n' roll girl, like the Olsen twins and Courtney Love. Plus, the Dries Van Noten S/S 2013 show, with all those patterns and fluid fabrics!
Who is the woman who you see wearing this?
The woman I see in this kind of look is a woman with self-confidence. She is feminine and she loves music and travelling. She'll mix high fashion with a lot of vintage, too.
What is your favourite piece here?
My favourite piece for this look is a thin shirt that feels as if it has been washed a lot. Also I loved all the pieces that look like old vintage lingerie, like the vest and the kimono with that wonderful lace.
What's your best styling tip for getting this look?
Wear a thin vintage nightdress as a dress and mix it with a big wool cardigan and a feminine shoe. It's super-sexy with that "I just got out of bed" look.

VT could lose to Duke next week.
Severe changes have to be made for this team to get back on track. After they lost 2 games to BE teams, the cry was "This team will wake up for ACC competition." Now they just got romped by UNC. What now?
The defense, once a proud point of this team, has looked like garbage in their 3 losses. It is very sad to see a strong football institution struggle as badly as VT has.

Enclumes workmanship warranty is five years for Premier racks. Lighting components are warranted for one year.
Finish Information
Enclumes signature hammered steel starts with hot-rolled steel and is finished to a rich distressed patina, then a high-density, scratch-resistant coating preserves the natural beauty of the finish. Stainless steel has a special look, brushed to a glistening satin finish. If you prefer the gleaming beauty of a chrome, brass or copper finish, your Premier rack is crafted from cold-rolled steel, then electroplated and hand polished to a mirror finish.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Edmonton? Is it landmarks such as our colossal mall or the four gleaming pyramids nestled in our river valley? Or might it be less obvious: the biting cold that strikes your bones in the dead of winter or the sizzle of green onion cakes at one of our many summer festivals?
Arguably, the most problematic aspect of the U.S. government's secret surveillance programs is the way so many Americans appear willing to surrender their freedom in the name of security. »
The only reasonable approach to Canada's northern development and Arctic sovereignty is to focus initial efforts on the Port of Churchill on the west coast of Hudson Bay, and secondarily on Rankin Inlet, which is further up the same coast. »

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Our Thai tour leader Ning was completely exceptional. She was prepared to go the extra mile to give us new experiences like buying fruit from the local market for us to try, and giving us advice about new foods in restaurants and cafes. Her knowledge of local cultures was profound, and she had noted my declared interest in wildlife and was able to point out birds and plants I might be interested in.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
I would strongly recommend not travelling to this area at this time. Our stay was marred by the pollution caused by the burning of the jungle to prepare for the new rice crop. There was a constant haze over the Mekong and ash regularly fell. I have a mild asthma and needed to use my inhalers very regularly throughout northern Thailand and Laos
Do you have anything else to add?
This trip was made exceptional by our tour leader. I have been on several trips with various companies and have never had a guide with her depth of knowledge and people skills combined

Hi folks,
Some here will remember me. I've been away on some writing adventures. I was originally involved on numerous sites, and had to cut back to concentrate on my bread and butter, my published works. Since I've been gone, I've sold numerous poems and short stories. Add to this a few books I've had published recently as well as all of the Editing I've been doing on other writer's short stories and Novellas. My book cover work is advancing too.

Notes about NETWORKING from "The Profitable Artist" by Artspire
"...is about developing a base of people who will support your efforts and want you to succeed....
Networking is about finding and building relationships with people you care about who are linked to new opportunities, new markets..."
Attend art openings and start making new friends.
"A genuine interest in other people delivers a genuine interest in you."
Posted by Maria J. Rizzo on January 29, 2013 at 8:07pm
At the Hang Local, Artist and curator Ty Marshal asked me this question:
Maria, you had a lot of art shows last year. What is your secret?
At that time my only response was networking.
Networking did help me find new opportunities to show my art in different venues,
but I realize that I didn't five a complete answer.
The real "secret" that helps me, and many other professional artists,
to showcase my work is the awareness of the many web sites that publish opportunity listings.
Here are some that I check out weekly:

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to post an update about the Delightful Devas. Although we are still selling the Delightful Devas as canvas wall hangings, the Devas decided they would like to see more of the world.
As a result, they are now available as beautiful ladies tee shirts as well. This way they able to get out into the world on a more personal level. Be sure and stop by the CNY Artists' store in Shoppingtown Mall to see them. They will be vey happy to see you!

The really cool thing about being an artist is that I can leave my junk all over the house and just call it a "still life".
And guess what????
You can learn how to paint a still life...or how to creatively leave your junk around the house.

column: Replacing expired license plate tags easy way to avoid tickets
'Tis the season for officers to easily spot expired plates. I am not sure why, but I like to write expired plate tickets. I am a terrible procrastinator myself, but as non-hazardous traffic citations go, I like to spot and write expired plate tickets, and this is the best time of year to do that.
Right now, in the first months of the New Year, everyone in the state should have a white or yellow month tab in the upper right corner of their license plate. If they are showing a green month sticker denoting a 2012 plate or, heaven forbid, an orange sticker denoting a 2011 plate, they have an expired plate and are easy pickings for an observant officer on patrol.
File Photo
Each year the registered owner receives a renewal notice from the Secretary of State in the mail about 45 days prior to the vehicle registration's expiration. This is a reason why you should change your address with the Secretary of State if you move from one address to another. Changes of address on Michigan driver's licenses or state identification cards are free from the Secretary of State and are mandated by law.
Renewing license plates can be done online, by mail or in person and is thus easier than ever to accomplish by the expiration date. If you are late and do not get your license plates renewed by the birthday of the registered owner, the Secretary of State's office will charge you a $10 late fee.
There are several reasons why expired plates are a good violation for an officer to pay attention to. First and foremost, all of us have to pony up the money for our license plate tabs. It is not fun to cut the check, give up the credit card or open one's wallet to pay the Secretary of State for the privilege of motoring on the Great Lakes State's highways and byways, but it is necessary to keep those roads open and reasonably free of potholes that can swallow small cars, blow out tires and bend wheel rims.
Another reason officers should investigate expired plates is because it may be a symptom of a more serious violation. People who have suspended or revoked licenses can not insure their vehicles. Insurance companies will not cover these unlicensed drivers. Without proof of insurance, one can not renew their plates. Therefore expired plates can mean an unlicensed driver, an uninsured motorist or both.
People with warrants also are bashful about showing up at the Secretary of State's office to renew their license plates. Therefore the expired plate may belong to someone with outstanding warrants.
Owners of vehicles also should remember that it is illegal for them to knowingly allow someone who is suspended, revoked or has never attained a driver's license to drive a car. Furthermore if that unlicensed driver gets in crash and the insurance company finds out that the owner and insurer knew they were allowing an unlicensed driver to drive, the insurance company may not be liable to pay for the damages.
It does not seem fair, but remember if you are driving someone else's car that has an expired plate, the police can issue you the expired plate ticket.
Before renewing your license plate, take a look at the license plate itself. Is it readable to an officer following you? If it is rusted or oxidized and can not be read, you might get pulled over by an officer. A license plate has to be readable when operated on the roadway.
When renewing your plates ask for a new plate if yours is rusted, oxidized, faded or worn off. You will not get the same plate number, but you will get a nice clean shiny license plate at no additional charge. Make sure you bring the damaged, rusted, oxidized and unreadable plate in, to the SOS office when you ask for a new plate. If you have a vanity or personalized plate and need a replacement, you will have to contact the Secretary of State office for the availability and processing of such a replacement request.
Proper display of the license plate is key as well. A plate obscured by snow, dirt or grime also is a violation if it can not be read. Plastic holders around the plate that obscure the license plate are illegal and also can constitute an obstruction to the plate.
Full plastic plate covers either clear or smoked are illegal as well. The reason for this is the instance has been known when enterprising scammers have printed color copies of plates on paper or card stock and attached them to cars. In order that they do not deteriorate when they get wet, the scammers then place plastic covers over them; that is why plastic plate covers are illegal.
Remember also, if you are renewing multiple license plates at once, that the month sticker has a number on it corresponding to the license plate it is assigned. Do not mix up the tabs and place them on the wrong license plate. If you do mix up the tabs go back to the SOS office and they will replace them for you — I know because I was guilty of such buffoonery once.
While you are tending to your license plate, make sure that your license plate light or lights are operational. It is not a bad idea to turn your lights on and do a walk around on your car to make sure your headlights and taillights are all operating properly. To check your brake lights' operation turn your hazard lights on and do a walk around.
If you have mobility issues or just want to venture out into the winter wonderland as little as possible, carefully back near a storefront's large plate glass window and make the observation of tail and brake lights using your rear-view mirrors — which also should be in place, operational and unobscured.
Headlight high beams and low beams can be checked from the warmth and security of your vehicle by turning them on in front of your garage door or a wall. Avoid using your neighbor's front picture window for such vehicle inspections, as this might be construed as annoying or creepy.
Lock it up, don't leave it unattended, be aware and watch out for your neighbors.

I've just about given up on evasion now haha. I just don't think the risk is worth the reward in a tier such as Ubers, where giving your opponent a turn to set up or attack you freely can be devastating.

Confirming as CloudyWeather. I used the same weatherless team I used for the clear skies challenge. I got a very high win/loss record: 68-6. Anyway evasion sucks! http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ub...ecttest5242363 - vs Furai using Baton Pass. My team prevails! OK. Evasion really sucks. Baton Pass can easily be worked around. Just lead with Giratina-O and spam Dragon Tail against ninjask. Also, a surprise taunt means that the team loses. None of the evasion teams worked well. My team was so offensive(and included Dragon Tail+Taunt) that the evasion boosters rarely had time to do anything. Judging from what I have read in this thread, I think that we have come to an unanimous opinion. |

I have been battling, and my opinion is that Evasion clause is better off as it is now. Sure, Evasion is a high risk, high reward strategy, but most of time if your opponent manages to grab that evasion boost and you miss, GG. It's like the same hax that you would have with Sand Veil, but much worse. Evasion moves like Double Team and Minimize, when used randomly, aren't really going to be fruitful. However, a dedicated Evasion team can sweep you if you aren't heavily prepared. The Uber metagame was much more healthy without Evasion Clause.

If you are so worried about evasion use can use Scarf Haze Zekrom(Zekrom doesnt need the four moveslots). Baton Pass teams lose to surprise taunts/roar. Unless evasion boosting teams have an Espeon, they will lose to Lugia(whirlwind needs to hit only once). |

Confirming as Melee Mewtwo-Test:
I rarely ever played against evasion and I didn't use it at all. It never worked when used against me. The handful of Baton Pass teams using it were easily phazed out. The Mono-attacker mons trying to abuse it with Substitute were easy spikes fodder and just needed one Roar/Whirlwind to waste their time. Evasion is underwhelming and banning it is only really going to bother BP teams, which aren't that amazing with it. It isn't giving them an answer to anything they couldn't get around already and still pretty much falls apart to the same threats it had to deal with before. |

I haven't played against evasion a lot, I only played against one iirc. But imo it only depends on how lucky you are so it have to stay banned i wouldn't like to have a battle against a luck based team |

I didn't played against a lot, only 6 times. Most of them were Baton Pass, it wasn't hard to handle because I used powerful sweepers and Giratina-O as a phazer and it depends a lot of haxx so it is a high risk and it's not broken. However, it is uncompetitive because it is a luck based team so it should stay ban |

Honestly, evasion moves are really costly as they eat up a move slot and invest mulitple turns just in the hope that in the long run you'll get enough hax to win a game. (somehow assuming that you can keep your evasion mon in for multiple turns to actually take advantage of the time you spend) It's cool on BP to help it get the free subs it needs so much, but like I said before it still loses to the same things it always has. (it just gets some wiggle room now) Mono sets are cool but they also lose to the same things as before and now need to rely on free Leftovers from unreliable hax instead of the already shaky Rest. |

It shouldn't be ban because it is based on luck but because it is uncompetitive. All matchs are based on luck but miss your move because of an evasion move is uncompetitive even if it's rarely happened

Do you know why defense boosting is superior? They are consistent. You can still get hit(no defense boost)/taunted(you are a siiting duck afterwards) even after evasion. Do you know what these evasion/defense boosting pokemon have in common? They can be phazed. And they require certain moveslots. Evasion moveset example: Double Team/Recover/Substitute/Free Moveslot. Defense-boosting moveset example: Calm Mind or Bulk Up/Judgment or Physical Coverage/Recover/ Refresh or Substitute. Now tell me honestly, which would give you a better chance to win? Which one is more reliable? Why would you want to boost evasion when the opponent can just phaze you with Whirlwind? What is the end result? You gave your opponent free turns and then they still kill you eventually. You can talk about baton pass. Baton Pass will usually lose to surprise taunts or whirlwinds or roar. I will say that something more dangerous already exists: Shell Smash Smeargle. |

Also, not even defense boosting moves can help every time to avoid XHKOs because critical hits exist. You don't want to rely on Calm Mind every time to protect your Manaphy from Palkia's Thunder, since a critical hit will kill him anyway. It's a serious flaw, much like the use of evasion moves has. For this reason, I wouldn't say that it's more consistent. At best, I would say that it is as consistent.

Ok...Now the two of you should provide me with actual examples with what can run such a moveset. It seems you are just throwing the concepts of evasion around without any evidence. @DarkFallenAngel: If you dont have enough experience in ubers pleae dont bring up bad points. Calm Mind Manaphy vs Palkia using thunder. Please tell me more about how evasion would help here. Critical chance is 6.25%. Evasion moves dont boost you evasion by 93.75%. Hence I would not say that "Evasion is as consistent." Thunder has perfect accuracy in rain. With Calm Mind, Manaphy can 2hko Palkia after 2-3 boosts. You need to realize that when you are using Evasion boosting moves, you are giving up a moveslot. Let's see what can afford to give up a moveslot in ubers: Reshiram, Zekrom; end of list. Well that is it really. Zekrom's moveset, judging from what you are implying or rather what is affordable, is: Double Team/Hone Claws/Dragon Claw/Roost or Substitute or Bolt Strike. Outrage isn't viable as the locking effect and chance to hit with confusion after boosted attack is a major hindrance and you destroy the purpose of this set. We have the set ready, now let us ask ourselves: What does it do? How much better is it than other sets? Groudon will switch in on you while you boost with Double Team and then threaten to Earthquake. Now what do you do? Do you stay in and sub? What if it is faster? What if it is the Offensive Stealth Rock Groudon? Do you expect to be faster? Would you really want to take a chance? Wouldnt it be better if Zekrom was the scarf set in this situation so that it could 2HKO Groudon? If Zekrom lacks substitute and uses Bolt Strike instead, Ferrothorn can deal with it. Using Roost? Lugia can deal with it. Here is another problem if you are not using substitute: You haxed your way through a defensive Pokemon. The opponent sends out Mewtwo. Ice Beam hits and all your effort are wasted as you realize that you gave the defensive pokemon time to set up hazards or rapid spin. This is assuming that you get many free turns. In a real battle this will not happen. I would like some real examples or replays if you want to reply and disprove me. Trivia: Phazing moves are extremely common in ubers: Groudon, Kyogre, Lugia, Giratina, Dialga, Palkia, Latias, Ho-Oh, Heatran, Arceus, Skarmory, Red Card Forretress. Are you telling me you dont have space for any of them? Contrary to what you said, most uber teams have phazing moves. Unlike in OU, where people run protect on heatran, phazing moves are always preferred when it is available to a pokemon. Taunt users: Gliscor, Terrakion, Deoxys-S, Mewtwo, Heatran. Pokemon that can possibly OHKO evason boosters if their attacks hit: Kyogre, Reshiram, Kyurem-W(also other base 150 spatk dragons), Deoxys-A, Latios. Trick users: Darkrai, Deoxys-S, Jirachi. Oh and if evasion becomes a serious threat, I could just use Haze Zekrom. I told you before that Zekrom didnt need four moveslots. Last edited by Anikrahman1995; Dec 7th, 2012 at 5:14:00 PM. |

What is true is that evasion is not of much help on a sweep, and that evasion moves waste a moveslot. That's why I said that randomly throwing Double Team/Minimize on a Pokémon is not the way to go. A dedicated Evasion team, such as Baton Pass (I can't give any other example at the moment) is what takes advantage of Evasion boosts to sweep your opponent.

252 SpA Palkia Thunder vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 194-230 (48.01 - 56.93%) 252 SpA Palkia Thunder vs. +2 252 HP / 0 SpD Manaphy: 146-174 (36.13 - 43.06%) Mananphy sets up Calm Mind on the switch. It rest as Palkia uses Thunder. Palkia deals the same damage next turn while Manaphy uses Calm Mind. Palkia Thunders again dealing a maximum of 94% in those two hits while Manaphy rests the damage off. Again, Palkia Thunders, Manaphy Calm MInds. Manaphy is now at a maximum of 63%(after leftovers) and at +3. +3 4 SpA Manaphy Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Palkia: 147-173 (45.79 - 53.89%) -- 45.7% chance to 2HKO Manaphy can now comfortably 2hko Palkia(provided that it has taken Stealth Rock damage) while Palkia fails to 2HKO Manaphy from 63% HP. I have already addressed your point about Baton Pass teams. They benifit from evasion? How does evasion stop haze? How do Baton Pass teams get around surprise Taunts/Roars or red card Forretress? Anyway what are you trying to tell me? Even Baton Pass teams benefit more from defense boosts than evasion. The only Pokemon that can afford to use evasion-boosting moves is Drifblim. You arent proving anything. If you do not believe me, watch this replay: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ub...ecttest5242363 |

Keep in mind that this thread isn't supposed to discuss evasion's viability, but its potential brokenness. I personally haven't seen a single evasion move in 50+ battles, and the fact that the discussion has come to this definitely makes me believe that it is not broken.

I, too, have not seen anybody using evasion. This leads me to believe that while it is not broken, in ubers, dub teaming is allowing your Ekiller to get to +6. Sure, you have that one pokemon, but the rest of your team is kinda screwed. And since my foe will only be at +3 while I'm at +6, I can still hit. Same for any set-up sweeper. Letting groudon get to +2/+4 is not good for your team. BP is moot, because giratina/Lugia nearly um, ALWAYS carry dragon tail. So, therefore, while it is not broken, I still think it should be banned.

I don't really get the "I only saw a few teams utilizing Evasion and while they weren't any trouble for my team, hell they often were a liability, I think evasion should still be banned."
If it isn't broken and everyone can handle evasion rather easily (and supposedly teams are worse when using evasion) then why should evasion be banned? Because it's luck based? So far (I only played 20 matches so my opinion might be changed from now until the voting thread) evasion based teams were extremely lackluster and in no way ban worthy. If I had a vote (which I'm trying to accomplish, damn you deviation and finals exams ;-;) I would vote to unban evasion from Ubers. Like people have said so far in this thread, you really can't afford to lose valuable move slots for Double Team/Minimize. |

In a competitive game based mostly around complex strategy and thought, why wouldn't we want to remove an element that makes teams worse in general, but can swing a few close matches and be annoying in general? Evasion is kind of like jirachi (if jirachi were bad.) Everyone has that one story where a jirachi flinched their heatran or magnezone to death, turning the statistics on their head and sealing a match that should've gone the other way. I'm fine with that because jirachi is good, but evasion is clearly bad and has the same potential. All that adding it in can do is cause the worse player to win via luck, and that shouldn't really happen.
Now, if someone can manage to abuse it in a successful way, then it might be a different story. Edit: Anikrahman's replay up there kind of shows what i'm talking about. Sure, it didn't work, and it won't work most of the time. But let's say he gets another miss or two, and has a bp recipient that's actually in the uber tier. Then the match could've gone the other way. Meanwhile, that's the most legitimate use of evasion possible in this metagame, and it revolves around drifblim, a NU/RU pokemon that's weak to SR. BP teams can replace evasion boosts with defensive boosts on both sides of the spectrum if they so desire, and use the drifblim teamslot for either an extra recipient, or just more boosters.

I'm just a forgotten legend, buried by the sands of time
I'm going to outline my thoughts about the test in the stages that I witnessed during the round.
At the beginning, literally 5 minutes after the round started, I was under the assumption that evasion was broken, it should be banned, yada yada yada. The competition on the ladder against the BP team I was running was far too weak. It must have been evasion! Evasion was the reason that everyone was losing to the team! Then after testing against Theorymon, where I won one out of the three battles, my opinion began to change. Against a competent player who is expecting you to run evasion boosting moves, evasion isn't gamebreaking at all. With the high power of all of the Pokemon in ubers, a single hit can destroy Drifblim, who admittedly has the bulk to take things like unboosted outrage from Rayquaza, struggles to survive in a tier full of Thunder users. Smeargle is even easier to play around, as its low speed leaves it susceptible to being either Taunted, or having a sub set up on its face. The main issue that i'm having with this is that I have not seen a sufficient sample of evasion teams to develop a true opinion. In a typical statistics course, you learn that you need a sample size of about 20 to analyze data. This is no different. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 teams that were built with the intention of abusing evasion. I cannot possibly make an accurate vote with these numbers, so I'll have to go off of the small sample that I have gathered. The main issue is that the teams that I saw were incredibly easy to play around. They always made similar moves, which caused them to be outplayed with ease. So yeah. I've made reqs already, and I'm about to hit them on a couple alts, and I'm going to say that I'll be voting to keep evasion legal in Ubers. #freeevasion |

There's nothing ban worthing about evasion, I think, at least on ubers, it's really easy to deal with it (taunt, somewhat powerful attackers, etc.), and yeah, maybe a team can be based on "luck", but, at the same time, just look on what does Pokémon what it is now, people running Scald on place of Surf? That's because the 30% chance of burn, what is about the same chance you have to miss an attack against someone who used only 1 time Double Team, yeah, people some times prefer to risk a bit, because on Pokémon, prediction, and risk-reward tactics are common. I do not think a risk-reward tactic should be banned just because it had luck on it, because if we do that, then we should ban Scald, and a lot of others moves.
And yeah, if you think evasion is not broken, then it should not be banned. Also, someone had to use 1 turn on set up a Double Team, but the enemy have to fail 2 attacks in a row in order to win a single turn, and that's almost as probable like hit a Critical Hit with a high-critical hit move, derp. And the "100% attacks should land 100% of times" is a bad argument, there's a lot of things that can make your "perfect accuracy" attack to fail, ability's, moves, and a good amount of other stuff, I don't think we should ban things just because they have a luck factor on it, or we will even end banning things like Critical-Hits and stuff, because the luck factor, this's not Smash Bros..

Ah, and yeah, if someone wants to try Minimize/Double Team, it should be done with paralize and/or confusion before, it will increse at some degree your chance of win at least an extra turn, also, paralize can't be cured at all, and confusion can't be really phazed (and Confuse Ray can allow you to surpass a possible phazing). Stack evasion boost is not a really good idea, the evasion win once you pass the 2+ is really small, it's better to then start to set up anything else.

Inferior to GO10
Like many others I haven't seen much of evasion on the ladder so its hard to decide if it is broken or not, however judging from what I seen its absolutely not broken, its rather week. Any good player should not loose to it.
However I built a team testing baton pass with evasion, and as I said its impossible to beat any player who knows what he's doing, its also a autoloss against a lot of things. For me its just a fun gimmick with you can get some wins with at the lower half of the ladder.
I obviously used a ninjask to get my speed up and if my opponent messed up and I got a free sub then I could use double team and once I passed one boost to my gliscor it could utilize toxic heal+sub+protect to stall until a miss and max out my evasion, gliscor is also immune to thunder which is great. Once gliscor is in with speed and a single evasion boost its pretty much gg. (Taunt is a option over protect to stop roar,taunt etc.) I don't find evasion broken as it isn't hard to stop and in contrast to the ohko moves you can stop it consistently, therefore I think it should be unbanned. reqs

Not that I dont like it, I freaking love the board...its the fact that I have bills to pay and problems with my truck(my only means of transportation) and what good is a skimboard if you cant use it.
put it on eBay for 200

200$ if u dont have a legit offer then dont post. Its that god damn simple like stated before. Less ill take is 200...DO NOT POST UNLESS OFFERING 200
just a suggestion...try selling it on Njskim.com theres someone on there looking for an exile..
