Let $R$ be a local UFD of Krull dimension 2. Let $a\in R$ be a nonzero, non-unit. I am trying to show that the ring $R[1/a]$ is a principal ideal domain. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be done?
From this topic it follows that you have to prove that the Krull dimension of $R[1/a]$ is $1$. But the maximal ideal of $R$ is the only ideal of height $2$ and this explodes in $R[1/a]$ (since it contains $a$). The prime ideals of $R$ not containing the element $a$ remain prime in $R[1/a]$ and have height at most $1$. This shows that $\dim R[1/a]=1$.
The set of prime ideals of $R$ consists of
The set of prime ideals of $R[1/a]$ consists of the (extensions of) prime ideals of $R$ that do not contain $a$....

Hi, I seem to be having a problem with the plugin.
Is there a way of creating a link to a page in a specific language from outside the WordPress site?
The website URL is http://gringsoftingenieria.com.ar/bere/spanish
I thought adding /?lang=es or /?lang=pt after the URL or any other permalink would take the visitor straight to the page with the translated content, but instead it redirects to the default English page (my default language).
I have the same issue linking between pages. Let's say I'm on a page in Spanish and I click where it says "see the prices" to go to the SPANISH Prices page, it takes me to the prices in English.
Is there a fix for this?
Thank you in advanced

Anyway, I watch a lot of horror films & have done so for some time. I can safely say I've seen a bit to a bunch of everything horror. So in rating this film with four stars, you gotta know that's me giving it a pseudo-educated, high acclaim. Don't let the found footage thing scare you off. Yep, it's been done over and over, but I've come to the conclusion that it's not a trend, just on the verge of becoming passé, but rather a new and permanent addition to the stock pantry of the many elements that can be used in filmmaking. It is appreciated when done well, and seems plagiarized when it's not.
Besides the found footage thing, I think the other creepy elements include the fact that it's not in my native tongue (I'm a true believer that foreign horror is the best horror...I think the foreign nature alone - the way it separates itself by being the "other" through both the unfamiliar language and also the unique cultural establishments - make these types of films very outside of what is normal to me, and thus exciting fear...isn't fear housed in the unknown?) and because it's in black and white (also another flavor of the unknown...the restriction of color can separate us more, giving the film something else that makes it not as translatable).Read more ›
SPOILER ALERT: Al least half the movie is spent wandering aimlessly and (with one very, very brief exception) through a disused outdoor plant "labyrinth" utterly without any kind of surprise or "horror" or, really, anything interesting. You WILL fastforward several times during these tedious scenes.
Yet, this is what makes this film succeed in the end. These are truly human characters without any of the Hollywood tricks. They are real; either you sympathize with them, or you don't. End of story. If you don't, you give this movie a one-star review and go on about your business. But if you do, the suspense will grow on you gradually, creep up on you from behind, until you find yourself checking the windows and doors to make sure they are locked.
When it comes to this kind of movie, I am no easy customer. Only Carpenter's _Halloween_ and Kubrick's _The_Shining_ have affected me. _The_Blair_Witch_Project_ (the iconic found-footage film) scared me the first time, but by the second viewing, I was hoping for the annoyingly contrived characters to be killed. Even after several viewings, _Atrocious_ has retained its intended effect. It is a well-crafted thriller that may seem tame by today's standards, but which creates an authentic atmosphere of horror and suspense unparalleled by few movies released in the past few years.
Is it perfect? No. Even though it achieves its intended effect, it really needs something to draw the attention of its audience much earlier in the film. I suspect most negative reviews are written by reviewers who only saw the first half. Do yourself a favor and watch the entire film, then let's hear what you think. You just might be pleasantly (unpleasantly?) surprised!

Prophet Joseph received generally positive reviews by Islamic world. The critical consensus is that the film promotes polygamy.
The director's daughter who grew up in a religious family criticized his father's work publicly, she believes that promotion of polygamy is planned by IRIB in Islamic Republic of Iran. (Iran TV.)[2]
She said, "… we are not monitoring anyone and everyone has his personal interpretation." She added, "I, as an normal audience, without considering my relation with the director, am very worried about the youths of this country and how the religion is defined for them, worried about the future of this generation, religion, morality and the Koran. What should youths choose?"
Salhashoor commented, "Polygamy had existed in past religions and theological schools. If for some reasons it has been changed is due to the modern world. The prophets and the Prophet's predecessors had second and third wives. It had been in the past and in many Islamic countries, there is still this culture though some Shiites want to revise it. There was polygamy in the past, I could not ignore the fact to please the feminists, again I emphasize that we do not promote polygamy. It is not our intention we just express a historical document."[3]
Katayoun Riahi an Iranian actress who played Potiphar's wife has resigned from acting after playing in this TV series. She said after experiencing the moral issues such as serenity, tolerance, respect and modesty, she could no longer endure any scene. She added: "I do not want to play anymore and I want to keep the sweetness of what experienced inside me forever."[citation needed][dubious ]

Apathy is often cited as the reason that people fail to act against injustice, though perhaps impotence is a more useful way to describe such inaction. If we approach the problem from this perspective—that people don't act because they don't feel capable of affecting change—it has a very clear solution: Offer people a compelling, tangible way to make a difference and they will seize it.

Ukrainian parliament votes to not accept the prime minister's resignation
Andrew Kravchenko, Pool, Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's parliament has voted not to accept the resignation of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
Yatsenyuk had said last week he was resigning after two parties left the coalition supporting him and parliament balked at passing laws he said were essential to fund the country's war against pro-Russian separatists.
But the parliament had to accept the resignation, and decided not to Thursday. The vote was 16 for accepting and 109 against, with the rest of the 450-member parliament either absent or not voting.
President Petro Poroshenko had urged legislators and the government to find a compromise and keep the parliament working even as he pushes for new elections.
Under Poroshenko's prodding, parliament finally passed the bills Yatsenyuk had been pushing. The vote keeps Ukraine on course for fulfilling its obligations under its bailout loans with the International Monetary Fund and ensures added funding for the military.
Parliament had balked at passing budget revisions to spend more money on the war and on reconstruction of shattered infrastructure. That legislation passed; legislation on allowing the sale of a minority stake in Ukraine's gas pipeline system was sent for another vote at a later session.
Poroshenko said that "today the attitude of the people's deputies of Ukraine toward the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian army, does not depend on whether there is a governing coalition or not."
He said that new elections would be "a reality" but did not specify what steps he would take to bring that about.
Meanwhile, a delegation from Russia's state aviation body hopes to visit the site where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed in east Ukraine two weeks ago, an agency spokesman said Thursday.
Sergei Izvolsky told the AP that a delegation of Russian specialists from Rosaviatsiya was due in Kiev Thursday to participate in the investigation. He said the delegation would attempt to reach the crash site if it was safe to do so and that Russian specialists would hand over all relevant materials to the Dutch delegation.
Representatives of the Dutch and Ukrainian commissions would not comment on the arrival of Russian officials. Continuing fighting has hindered access to the crash site, located in rebel-controlled territory in east Ukraine.

text: So I was driving my e38 and all of sudden the car stops on the side of th road. Waited a few minutes and the car started again to bring me home, thank GOD! I realized the fuel pump was sending weak pressure. Finally I decided to put in a new pump. When I took out the old pump, to my surprise, there was this brown gunk in the tank. It seemed like a mixture of rust dust and just build up of a dirt like substance. In any case it was clogging up my pump, filters, and of course injectors. Does anyone know a way of flushing the fuel tank without removing it from the car?

Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Orion 9179BNMD combination oxidation reduction potential (ORP) triode electrode with a temperature sensor measures dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions to determine their contaminant levels and their ability to act as oxidizing or reducing agents. It has a wick-type single junction reference for clean water applications. The electrode comes with a built-in temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation (ATC) with +/-0.2-degree C accuracy; an 8-pin mini Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN)-compliant connector is provided for attaching to meters with temperature-reading capabilities. This combination electrode contains both the measuring half-cell and the reference half-cell to minimize electrostatic interference and provide consistent readings. The electrode's epoxy body is impact resistant, durable, and sealed and filled with an electrolyte solution gel for minimal maintenance.
The electrode withstands temperatures from 0 to 80 degrees C (32 to 176 degrees F). It is 12mm in diameter and 120mm long, and has a 1m cable with a waterproof Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connector for attaching to meters with a BNC connection. ORP electrodes, also known as redox electrodes, measure the ability of aqueous solutions to act as oxidizing or reducing agents, and they are commonly used in for water testing and food processing applications in hydroponics, aquaculture, and agriculture, among other applications.
An electrode, also called a sensor or probe, is an instrument used with a meter to test and measure parameters of a substance. All electrodes are probes or sensors, but not all probes are electrodes or sensors. Probes, such as temperature probes, are used to penetrate a material for measurement. Common electrode types are pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), oxidation reduction potential (ORP), and ion selective electrode (ISE). They come in standard models or in all-in-one (sometimes called 3-in-1) models, which have a built-in temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation (ATC). Electrodes can be half-cell or full- (also called combination) cell type. They can be refillable or non-refillable. Housing material is typically glass or epoxy, and sensors are commonly made with stainless steel or a glass bulb. pH electrodes, which measure the pH of a substance, often have a glass bulb. The bulb senses hydrogen ions, and generates a millivoltage that is picked up by the filling solution and transferred to a wire that connects to the pH meter. ORP, also known as redox, electrodes measure dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions to determine the level of contaminants and their ability to act as oxidizing or reducing agents. Ion selective electrodes (ISEs) respond selectively to ions in the presence of other ions. Electrodes are commonly used by researchers, manufacturers, and hobbyists in a wide variety of industries, such as aquaculture, agriculture, chemistry, food and beverage, wine-making and water-testing, and for scientific applications. An electrode can be used with a datalogger to assist in temperature measurement.
Thermo Fisher Scientific manufactures analytical instruments, laboratory equipment, consumables, and software under the Thermo Scientific, Fisher Scientific, and Nalgene brands, among others. The company, founded in 2006, is headquartered in Waltham, MA.

Skip to comments.Kevin Jennings, "Safe" Schools, and the Obama Administration
Posted on 12/09/2009 8:20:18 AM PST by Jeff Head
Kevin Jennings, the appointed "Safe School" Czar by the Obama administration, has a depraved, sick, and perverted sense of safety in American schools. The organization he directed for many years, the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network was designed to attract otherwise "straight" children and recruit them into the Gay Lesbian lifestyle.
Jennings became the "Safe School" Czar after holding the position of Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual fund-raising co-chair in the Obama campaign.
In a 1990 "report" for the Massachusetts Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, Jennings is the individual who proposed taking the term "safe schools" and changing its meaning to mean a pro-homosexual school where it was "Safe" to teach homsexual behavior to children.
This is what he is really all about...it is what his "mission" is.
And Obama knows it and approves of it. It is another part of Obama's sick "change" for America.
In order to understand Jennings (and by extension the administration that appiinted him) one muct understand his hatred for conservative values and for religion. He knows that his own lifestyle choices and perversion is rejected and labeled for the sin it is by those who believe the Bible and seek to follow the commandments of Jesus Christ.
In his memoir, "Mamas Boy, Preachers Son", Jennings is clearly full of bitterness toward Southern Baptists in particular, which is how Jennings was raised and which, to this day is still the countrys largest Protestant denomination. This anger , resentment and bitterness comes out from time to time in Jennings public speeches. For example, in a speech he gave in a more "tolerant", more "safe" church in New York in 2000, he said:
We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. . . . Im trying not to say, [F---] em! which is what I want to say, because I dont care what they think! Drop dead!
While teaching at the Concord Academy, a private boarding school in Massachusetts, a sophmore at the school confided in Jennings that he had met a man at a bathroom in a bus station and gone home with the man to have homosexual sex. Rather than report this potentially illegal and dangerous act to authorities (even if the boy was the minimum age of "legal consent" in Massachusetts, which is 16 years of age...yes, that's right, in Massachusetts a 16 year old child can have sex legally with a 45 year old adult if they consent), Jennings himself indicates that his only response to the boy was to say, "I hope you knew to use a condom."
Jennings wrote the foreword for a book entitled "Queering Elementary Education", which includes an essay that indicates that queerly raised children are agents who should employ strategies of adaptation, negotiation, resistance, and subversion, to others.
Is it no wonder then that this crazed, decrepid, and depraved individual has given lectures to children, using Massachusetts tax monies and state employees that teach children how to engage in graphic homosexual sex?
He wants and intends to do the same all across America.
Again, the American people have to understand that this is more of Obama's fundamental change he promised to bring to America, and that in implementing that change, the Obama administration continues to apply Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to our entire society.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy.
The fact is...and such appointements as Jennings make it all the more clear, Obama doesn't care about what you or I or anyone else thinks as he goes about radicalizing and changing America.
He didn't go to the White House to be popular, he went there to bring this fundmental change and he has been going about it very effectively since becoming President.
He and his cohorts caused the economic mess that helped usher him into the Presidency. They hate the free market and they hate fundamental republican principle. Since being elected they have methodically and with a will attacked both of these institutions and harmed them terribly. They are doing the same to the underlying moral fiber of our nation.
It is their intent to bring them all down and build a marxist command economy on their ashes. Everything they are doing reflects this. From the stimulus, to the bail-outs, to the health care monstrosity, to Cap & Trade, FOCA, their Education policy, and on and on.
And all of what he has implemented are producing success from Obama's point of view. They are accomplishing exactly what he wants...he does not want to repair the economy, the auto industry, the banking and credit industries, energy, health care, traditional education, etc., etc. as most Americans would define repairing them. He wants to fix it as in "the fix is in", as in controlling it.
And that is exactly what he is doing.
Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and their cohorts will lie, blow smoke, deceive, cajole, and give as many speeches, presentations, addresses to congress, etc. as it takes to draw this out so they can continue progressing towards these goals. When you understand this about him and his administration and the cohorts in the House and Senate...everything else then comes into focus.
And we can, and must stop it. 2010 will be a banner and critical year in doing so. What we start in 2010, we must then finish with finaloty in 2012. Barack Hussein Obama deserves a thrashing as overwhelming as Walter Mondale'slandslide l;osss in 1984. Pray God we can deliver it.
FYI...more details on this sick individual.
Barry Obama may have been molested by a sodomite as a youth in Hawaii and look where it got him.
That sodomite's name is Frank Mashall Davis.
The more I hear about Obama's twisted boy-toy Jennings, the more I think Larry Sinclair was telling the truth.
lET'S STAND UP AND GIVE THIS DIRTBAG (AND IN THIS CASE I MEAN DIRTBAG TO THE CORE) AND THE FILTHY ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS ELEVATED HIM TO RULE OVER OUR CHILDREN'S SO CALLED 'SAFETY IN SCHOOLS' ( did you know that if little children have same sex activities in the public school bathrooms that is OK with this guy as long as the adults are not told!?)
I am starting to viscerally angered at obama and the pure dirt he hangs out with and brings into our nation's seat of government.
The Onambla Administration BUMP.
Either because he knows it will help destry America, or because he himself is emmersed in the life-style to one degree or another...or both.
Washington Times Editorial today:
EDITORIAL: Obama's risky-sex czar
The Washington Times ^ | December 9, 2009
Don't any of the rest of you get any backlash from other Freepers when you take a stand against the sodomites or their death-style?
The following came at me from someone else here on FR.
Why paint all gay people with the same brush? They would have as many different opinions as straights.
I had a gay friend years ago who hated pedophiles. He was against everything on your list that you say gays are for.
Politically he was the most conservative guy I ever knew.
So before you accuse, learn more about what you're talking about.
You are ignorant, judgmental and a narrow-minded, clueless know-it-all...all mixed in with a fair amount of false pride...with emphasis on false.
"Barry Obama may have been molested by a sodomite as a youth in Hawaii and look where it got him."
There is a good possibility that Obama is bi-sexual. He is very effeminate, and certain pictures floating around lend credence to this. A commie, and a perv.
[The more I hear about Obamas twisted boy-toy Jennings, the more I think Larry Sinclair was telling the truth.]
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Whether Obama was molested or not, it is clear he was raised as a Red Diaper Doper Baby. The Golden Child of 60s radicalism.
We now have such a predator as a PAID ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL TO OVERSEE SAFE SCHOOL ACTIVITY!
Pardon me...but BULL SH(T!!!
Ever see the reading list this piece of filth proposes for KIDS?
We need to get this worm out of our schools as soon as possible.
Wonder what most FReepers would do if they were to find out that their little ones were engaged in experimental FISTING in school with their teachers blessing? I know EXACTLY what I would do.
The gay, lesbian, homosexual lifestyle is wrong. Period, plain and simple. It is not natural, and it is clearly spoken against in detail in the Holy Bible and called the sin it is.
People who adopt that life style, either as a free choice or because they "feel" they cannot help themselves need our prayers and our help. They need counseling...not the other way around.
Contrary to what the people involved in or supporting that life style may tell you, individuals can be turned from it, and can go on to lead normal lives. That life style is not "normal", it is not adopted by anything like 10% of the populcae, and it is clearly a life style that is not natural and against common sense and common decency.
If everyone adopted that life style, our growth rate would fall below sustaining levels and our species would go extinct. That is how unnatural it is. To the contrary, people living a normal, "straight" life style in any numbers contribute to the survival of our species, and the greatest potential for joy that exists within their families consisting of their own children.
Statistically it is also obvious that the gay life style choices are a danger to them...and anject danger that is not healthy, and a danger to others.
That is all the truth. It can be denied, it can be rationalized, but none of that changes the truthfulness of it.
The effort to normalize such life styles is nothing more than an effort to weaken America and destroy it...plain and simple...either being made by those poor souls caught up in it who are being used as 'useful idiots" towards that goal, or by those who know full well what it means and are moving forward with a will to try and bring America down.
Amen. We are seeing a more and more clear picture of Obama with every appointee he makes.
We see it and have seen it. The problem is, nothing is being done about it no matter how many faxes, calls, emails and letters we send to Congress.
The libs in power do what they want.
That is frightening.
This individual, Jennings, proposed years ago in Massachusetts that "Safe Schools" should mean a safe place to teach the gay lifestyle. Now it is coming to America as a whole through the Obama administration. Their view of "safe" is not at all what traditional America, or anyone with common decency would call "safe."
Yes it most certainly is. Which makes 2010 and 2012 all the more absolutely critical elections in the history...and for the future...of our Republic.
I hate to say it, but I'm not so sure that will matter at that point, either. Yes, I'm paranoid.
I agree-it is an entire cultural 'change' coup. Towards depravity and loss of freedom. Jeff, they may end up pushing this too far. The tea parties may just end up being the first growl.
We simply must have huge victories in 2010 and 2012.
This one marcher may have said it best at the last march...
Thanks for the ping.
There are so many "last straws" and this is surely one of them.
Main Stream News is too intimidated to report this. Whilch means it is YOUR job to make it go viral!
marked thread to follow.
thanks for posting.
Many do not want to hear it, or consider it. But it is nonetheless true.
I know it is disturbing and hard to believe for some. I did not want to believe myself that there were such people in such positions...but there are, and they are proceeding with an agenda.
People have gone undercover to some of the seminars given to school-age children and recorded and filmed what they are teaching to kids...funded by state tax monies and using state government employees.
Documented videos and recordings Jennings Seminars
Very disturbing stuff, and clearly representative of an agenda. Not all gays are involved in it for sure...but clearly there are those who are involved and they have made enough inroads to allow for what you see at that link.
Bottom line?
The leader of the organization that put on that seminar is now the "Safe" School Czar for our nation under the Obama administration.
Thanks for the ping!

I've always stuck to the science on homosexuality. And while the science on sexuality is quite complicated, there are no scientific studies to date that hint homosexuals are born with their same-sex attraction, but neither do homosexuals choose their same-sex attraction. It's complicated. Check my profile and scroll down for more info.
the man should of been fired by now and would be if the media did their job.
Yet again another radical/pervert is in this admin and now the man is teaching kids about homosexuality and pushing it.
This is disgusting
words can't even describe how disgusted I am with this man
had one but that was a troll.
Had a woman too who told me that homosexuals are alright because she knows one in church.
Yea alright maybe she should got and see that friend when they are in their freak parades, how they act when the nancy boy is with his fellow pervert.
The fact is that if a man touches a boy then he is not just a child molester but also a homosexual.
When those priests were done the media reported how they were Catholic but the fact remains they were homo's too.
he and the homosexuals used MA as a stepping stone to spread their agenda.
I remember when the people of MA got enough votes to get he homosexual question on the ballot and the top guns of the Dem party came in bribing the legislature..i.e. Framingham's rep got money after she changed her vote.
Of course the legislature then said that the voters are not allowed to vote on the issue even though they got enough signatures to have it on the ballot.
They have tried in other states and lost but you can be sure that the homosexual perverts will try in other areas and if anyone says that so what then they need to look at how MA has been affected in the school, bar exams, intimidation, getting fired etc
Why paint all gay people with the same brush? They would have as many different opinions as straights."
That is most likely a troll.
Did you happen to look at how long he has supposedly been a Freeper?
Folks, how much more obvious can it be that the man who sits in the Oval Office, and the people he appoints to his bureacracies are enemies of our nation, enemies to our Constitution, enemies to erything that is good and decent in our country.
I had already come to the conclusion, long before Jennings was appointed that Barack Obama is an enemy of the United States, our Constitution, our heritage, and our homes.
I firmly believe now that he is quite deliberately, with malice aforethought, destroying our country.
sorry it took so long to reply, I've been busy with Christmas and my youngest son's birthday.
I agree with every part of this post.
I've been saying for some time now that this man with then help of his buddies like Ayers and the backing of Soros etc have been planning a take over of this country for years, of course not forgetting the homosexuals who have been moving and getting into positions of power.
There is no doubt that they have much more to come to disgust us.
He is trying to make everyone dependant on the govt, one only has to look at the jobs created and the wide spread of more welfare.
This take over also consists of the homosexuals out to ruin the traditional family and to bring in their radical agenda to our children.
They know most parents do not even care about what their child hears at school. Many parents use school as a baby sitting service.
We have a media who have helped them to take this country over.
There was no reporting on ACORN , SEIU, Van Jones, the felon who was at the white house party etc.
The man is surrounded by radicals, form homosexuals perverts, Marxists, commies, Socialists, Black racist and he has even said that he looked to hang out with these radicals in his book.
Most have no clue what is going on and I swear right now that the last election was a fraud and I guarantee the next election will be as well.
I could say more on this issue but I will not.

New Products
If we're talking new products, we must have a virtualization item in there somewhere. XenSource is announcing the release of XenOptimizer in beta form, with the product to follow in early 2006. It is also releasing the 3.0 version of the underlying Xen technology. According to XenSource, XenOptimizer offers production-grade capabilities, superior performance and lowers the total cost of ownership for a data center. Administrators can provision virtual servers using a simple drag-and-drop GUI dashboard. This has been your moment of Xen.
Stratus Technologies has announced that its über-reliable ftServer T60 will be the first piece of Stratus hardware to support Linux, specifically Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This will add, for the first time, a Linux distribution to the Stratus product offerings, which already include Windows and the proprietary Stratus VOS operating system.
The heart of any embedded Linux application is usually a CompactFlash (CF) card. Unfortunately, not all of them live in 72°F living rooms. WinSystems has released a series of CF cards designed to work from a bone-chilling –40°C to a blazing 85°C. These cards, available in sizes ranging from 128MB up to 2GB, are engineered for reliable performance and long lifetimes, without sacrificing speed.
Your open-source PBX just got an IQ upgrade. Digium has released the first major revision of the open-source Asterisk PBX Project since September 2004. Asterisk 1.2 includes more than 3,000 new or improved features, such as improved voice mail, SIP protocol support and the use of sound files for music on hold.
Get out your SQL queries and spiff up your inserts. The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released PostgreSQL 8.1. In addition to the usual performance improvements and bug fixes, the 8.1 release adds roles, which allow database rights to be assigned to entire groups rather than to individuals, and the ever-popular two-phase commit (which, as we all know, "allows ACID-compliant transactions across widely separated servers").
Just because you're trying to package your embedded Linux application onto one of those tiny PC/104 cards doesn't mean you can't have cranking video performance. With only 8MB of RAM, you won't be using VersaLogic Corp.'s EPM-VID-3 to play Silent Hill, but the ATI Rage Mobility M1-based add-on card is just the thing for applications that require up to three heads running at up to 1600x1200 at 24 bits. With built-in hardware MPEG decoding, it'll let you stream your video without taxing those underpowered embedded processors.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The iOS (iPhone Operating System) users are always in search of cydia tweaks/apps for their iPhone. And why not if it gives a complete new makeover to your iPhone? In the same regard we are going to reveal some of the Cydia apps herein for the iPhone, iPad users to give them a new exciting experience while using their same iPhone or iPad. You should definitely go ahead and have Cydia Download.
AptBackup Cydia Tweak: it is one of the most popular Cydia tweaks to back up all of the tweaks installed in the user's iPhone or iPad or any other iOS based device. Its functionality is very simple and it may also be the reason of its popularity. It does not back up all of the Cydia tweaks but it backs up the list of the tweaks that were installed in the user's iPhone or iPad. And to restore the tweaks the user have to jailbreak his/her device, only then user can have access to his/her previous tweaks.
CCControls Cydia Tweaks: This tweak lets you customize the control center according to user's choice and preference. The iOS 7 comes with an advantage of control center which is inbuilt in the system itself and it also has a drawback of the options provided. It only provides 5 options that are by default and the user can't change those options too. But CCControls Cydia tweak is quite helpful for this purpose. It provides the user more than five options and lets the user customize the control center in fully accordance with the user's choice i.e the user can change and set different themes for the control center, the user can set the appearance of the buttons on the control center, the user ca restrict it whether to appear it on the lock screen or not. This tweak is full of many option and it deserves at least one trial to try on.
GuestMode Cydia Tweak: It is another one of the most popular tweaks amongst the iOS device users. Like the PC or the laptop has the option to be used in the guest mode for the unauthentic users, in the similar manner this tweak provides a mode for the other user of the regular user's iOS device. The option to enter in the guest mode appears on the lock screen. If the iPhone, iPad user gives his/her iPhone/iPad to any of the other user then the user can have access through this guest mode but can't use aby of the tweaks or functions unless and until the owner allows for the same.
All of the above mentioned Cydia Tweaks are awesome and very interesting to be installed in the iPhone/iPad/iPad touch. One shouldn't miss the tweaks like these. Other than the above there are many of the tweaks available for various purpose and requirements of the iOS device user. For more tweaks user can have access to App Store.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'BW UU' started by kokoloko, Jul 7, 2013.
If you previously posted reqs in this thread, please repost them here. Thank you.
Does anybody consider Hitmonlee a good RapidSpinner for UU as well, or is it just me? I find Hitmonlee's Stone Edge and otherwise Reckless-boosted moves to provide solid coverage to not only take down Froslass, but other Pokemon as well. I'm mostly curious as to why Hitmonlee and Kabutops aren't reputed more, what with other UU Spinners (except Blastoise) being failures by comparison
This is a really good post, but I have one qualm with it. Just because Kabutops and Cryogonal are not used enough to be considered "UU" doesn't mean that they are not viable. Kabutops in particular is a great spinner, especially with rain support. In rain, Kabutops just destroys Bulky Froslass and can spin immediately after getting rid of it. I actually consider Kabutops to be at least as good as the more common spinners found in the tier, but maybe that's just me. As for Froslass itself, it has severe issues with Azelf carrying Taunt and Fire Blast. Azelf can Taunt Froslass before it can set up Spikes or use Destiny Bond, and Bulky Lass cannot 2HKO with Ice Beam. Froslass can opt to use Shadow Ball to better deal with Azelf but has a bad case of the 4 moveslot syndrome as it is. Lead Azelf can beat lead Lass by simply attacking it twice. Froslass also has trouble with Rhyperior and Crobat, two very common pokemon. While Froslass is really good, there are enough pokemon that can hold it to one layer of spikes for me to consider it unbroken (and Destiny Bond can be played around). All good UU teams must have an appropriate answer to it though.
On the Suspect ladder, I experimented with Porygon-Z quite a bit, and I found it to be extremely underrated. I used:
Porygon-Z @ Lum Berry
Trait: Adaptability
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 156 Spd / 252 SAtk / 100 HP
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tri Attack
- Dark Pulse
- Agility
- Nasty Plot
P-Z can survive or even avoid being 2HKOed by a lot of STAB attacks from weak attackers so long as they are not supereffective; even one boost can mean death for a lot of teams. The nice part is that after an Agility, you outspeed Scarf Mienshao; that makes Porygon-Z extremely difficult to revenge kill. It doesn't give a team anything offensively (except a Ghost immunity, which can be situationally useful against Cofagrigus), but even without Spikes it can totally destroy stuff. With Spikes up, it can sweep teams pretty much singlehandedly.
Double boosting PZ is extremely powerful with screens up. Pair is up with something like Dual Screens Azelf on a hyper offensive teams and you can burn through teams.
Changing topics real quick, does anyone think Victini should get banned? Am I the only one that thinks once the set is exposed, it is rather easy to play around?
Well that's the problem. I do agree that once the set is exposed, you can definitely play around Victini. However, it's that 1-2 turns where it's not exposed that it's the most dangerous. You can switch Rhyperior in expecting V-Create or U-turn, and then eat a Grass Knot. Or, you could switch Snorlax or Slowking in expecting a Blue Flare, and instead eat a CB V-Create or Bolt Strike. It doesn't help that most special and/or mixed sets also run U-turn or V-Create to bluff for the first few turns anyways. (U-turn because it's good, and V-create because it's just that obscenely powerful.) It's kind of similar to Salamence in DPP OU, where once you figure out its set, you could beat it. That turn it initially hits the field, however, you didn't know whether to expect Dragon Dance or Draco Meteor, and you could pay pretty dearly for it.
I recently saw someone using a fast Focus Sash Qwilfish. I suppose they were trying to find a possible replacement for Frosslass and Qwilfish does learn all the relevant support moves with the added bonus of Intimidate. I think that that kind of lead Qwilfish is definitely viable but without the speed and the really well positioned STAB it was much easier to play around.
Yeah Qwilfish can run the Sash+Spikes+Dbond, which makes it an alright replacement for Froslass, and the decent defensive typing and Imtimidate are cool. I haven't used it, but looking at it it definitely looks like a viable replacement. Obviously, nothing is ever going to be as good in UU as Froslass when it comes to Spike stacking in UU, which is why that despite the fact that I see Froslass as broken in a way, I would miss it. Speaking of potential Froslass replacements if it gets banned, here's a really good one.
Scolipede (M) @ Focus Sash / Life Orb
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
Despite his relegation to the lower tiers, Scolipede is an awesome choice for a fast Spiker in UU. Here we have Froslass 2.0, despite being less effective, he gets Spikes up really quickly; and he also poses a real offensive threat as well. He has an awesome Speed tier, which means he outpaces a lot of the metagame, and his two quad resistances also give him opportunities to come in and do the Spiking job against threats such as Mienshao and Roserade. Megahorn is really powerful and does a lot of damage; while Swarm is cool if you reach the Sash, so once you're done, you don't get D-Bond, but you get the cool trait of firing mega powered Megahorns as a final gambit. EQ+Rock Slide form the QuakeSlide combo for Scolipede to deal some real damage to shit, and between the three moves Scolipede has unresisted coverage. The cool thing about Scolipede is that his awesome Speed is so good that he outpaces Scrafty even after a DD boost, so he can double Megahorn him while Scrafty can't beat him one-on-one. Oh and Megahorn+Sash is also cool to beat Azelf one-on-one, which is excellent. Overall this is a really solid choice in UU, and should be used more especially as a Froslass substitute.
^ I'd like to add that if it sticks around, Scolipede can also absorb Toxic Spikes [and set up your own, if you wish], which increases its versatility, I'd think. Still doesn't get Taunt/spinblocking capabilities, which is a shame, but Scolipede's got more offensive presence than Froslass to at least kind of make up for it.
I've been on the regular ladder under the alt 'swampervert', it's at 1947 +- 74 with 30 wins and 3 loses. I've never laddered for a suspect test, so I'm worried my deviation is too low and I won't make it. Should I begin again, or keep going? I won't want to start over if this alt falls short after another 35 games.
While I agree that Victini has some surprise value, you have to take into consideration that Mew and Kingdra also have massive surprise value. Mew can run just about any set-- and rather effectively. I've seen Magic Coat leads to Mono-attacking boosting sets--WITH BATON PASS (This is too good actually), but I don't see it broken. Kingdra, it can be special or physical also! If I switch in Slowbro expecting a DD or Outrage and have to eat up a Draco Meteor, Slowbro will be decimated after some hazards. Likewise, if I see no item and assume Specs (Could be Lum or Chesto), and I switch my Umbreon only to have to fight up against a DD set, it could mean certain death.
Victini takes out Rhyperior, yes, with a GRASS TYPE MOVE. Expert Belt Raikou does pretty much the same thing, and that has surprise value. A good player WILL be able to play around Victini. If it's the special set, it lacks the speed and raw power to do major damage to anything OTHER than PHYSICAL counters. It's pretty ridiculous that people are complaining about how Grass Knot does work on Rhyperior. The reason thaty Rhyperior is even used is mostly due to the fact that it has Solid Rock, SRs, phazing, and checks Zapdos and Raikou without HP Grass, something that is important. The 2 hardest hitting electric types are pretty much stopped cold without HP Grass. Rhyperior was NOT meant to check Special Victini. Snorlax takes hits for days and can poo on it with Body Slam.
Hi guys, just deleted a lot of posts. This isn't the place to talk about the ladder. If you want to include a line or two about it in passing conversation, that's one thing. But a short posts with nothing else are going to be deleted, and infracted if they are repeated.
Ace, your thoughts on Victini?
I think Victini is impossible to switch into. Its not necessarily that its versatile, like Mew or Kingdra, but its just got two, really powerful sets. Its average attacking stats are more than compensated by its high powered moves (even access Blue Flare and Focus Blast is a bitch, to say nothing of V-Create). To compare it to other top threats, Kingdra can at least be stalled and phazed and has a few Pokemon that can switch into the majority of sets. Mew lacks a 120 Base STAB, Victini rocks a 130 and 180. To comment on your comparison to Raikou, the difference between Mixed Tini and Expert Belt Raikou: Expert Belt Raikou isn't a nuke. You're dealing with an unboosted Thunderbolt as the best spamming move. Mixed Tini dishes out massive damage with V-create, while being an excellent lure for Rhyperior and Swampert. And Special Tini is a force to be reckoned with, base 100 Speed is far from slow, and a LO boosted 130 base STAB move is far from weak. Besides, Special Tini gets its power from a wide Special movepool which makes it pretty hard to wall on its own. Nothing can counter both Special and Physical Tini, both sets are very powerful, and I think that's a pretty strong case for banning it.
The difference between Victini and Kingdra is that Victini's mixed set nukes absolutely anything that would switch into the CB set, and the CB set nukes anything that could switch into the Mixed set. Kingdra has quite a few pokemon that can switch into both sets effectively. (Not bad pokemon either, but actual useful and common ones, like Umbreon, Empoleon, Shaymin, Porygon2, Slowking, etc.) You don't have this luxury with Victini, which is what makes it so dangerous. Mew is a better comparison, but as Ace Emerald pointed out, it can't just spam attacks and hit for massive amounts of damage. It needs a turn of setup, and even then its most powerful STAB attack is only half as powerful as Victini's V-Create.
I think the only thing stopping Victini from banning is that it isn't too hard to check as some dangerous Pokemon outspeed it and it can even be trapped by the increasingly useful Weavile. In the discussion between Victini and Kingdra, I think that Victini is much more dangerous in that first turn it gets into the battle, Kingdra is more devastating and harder to check after it DDs or rain is up.
Ace and TPO3 bring up excellent points. Yes, it is hard to initially switch into Victini; however, that being said, once the set is revealed, it is rather easy to play around with.
Most experienced players will scout for the Mixed Sets. For instance, I used to run RestChesto Rotom-C with Victini. Rotom-C takes care of most of the physical checks of Raikou and Victini, so when I volt-switched to lure in a Swampert, the player then switched into a grass-resist to scout if I was even choice-locked. It was an excellent play on his part, and obviously he pooped on my life. The point being is that Victini just takes a bit of an extensive playing ground to figure out if it is special, physical, or mixed.
Victini that is not scarfed WILL be outspeed by the common scarfers, Flygon, Mienshao, etc. Flygon can OHK with EQ, and Mienshao can OHK most of the time if Victini is below 70% HP (Something not hard with Recoil and Hazards). There are some other Pokes that naturally outspeed and hit it hard, such as Weavile and Crobat.
It really saddens me to see Victini go. I already know that Victini has NO place in the upper tiers. When is the last time someone saw Staraptor used in OU? When Mew went up to OU for 3 months, NOTHING happened with Mew. Mew was really good in UU (At the time when Darm was the most common scarfer, and the SD Mew set was god-like...this was before Scrafty and Mienshao dropped), but it didn't do anything in OU. Just because something is banned from the lower tiers does not mean it will have a place in the higher tiers. For example, in OU, Genesect was used by practically EVERY serious OU team--the reason being that everyone knew Genesect was good for OU, in fact, TOO good, so it went to Ubers. People still use it FAIRLY regularly in Ubers. On the contrary, Tornadus-T (The one with Regen I believe) left OU, and basically no one uses it in Ubers. It was extremely useful in OU, but it has no place.
Victini is very, very good in UU, that is not to be questioned; however, it can only run offensive sets. It is very unlike Snorlax. Snorlax, in theory, is better than Victini. It can run a Banded Set, a Specially Defensive set, a Physically Defensive Set, Curse-Set and so on and so forth. Snorlax also has a great ability, arguably better than Victini. Snorlax isn't in question of being banned, and honestly, Snorlax is harder to deal with than Victini IMO. Chandelure still beats most Victini sets 1v1, losing to the very rare glaciate + psychic sets or the Bolt Strike Crits/Para's.
All in all, I know Victini is leaving UU, but I really think everyone should reconsider. Victini has been in UU for SO long and NO one has had problems. It has immense coverage, but it's pretty much a lesser Infernape (Offensively speaking). Victini is a fire-type equivalent to Kingdra--except with WAYYYY worse typing.
I'm probably not going to make Pre-reqs because ANYONE "good" that I ask is against Victini staying, so there is no point in doing all the work for being the only one who wants it to stay. All in all, I hope my reasonings convince anyone to vote otherwise :]
Your comparisons are very wrong honestly. Victini has nothing to do with snorlax. Victini is a nuke mixed or physical attacker while snorlax is a bulk attacker or a wall. Snorlax can fill more roles but he is in no way "better" than victini. Victini is actually really good in ou and even has an uber analysis, so i really dont know why you say it has no place in high tiers. Please dont say that no one had troubles with victini. I had been wanting it banned for a long time and im sure you will find other people that do so too. Also you do realize victini completely outclass infernape right?
There's something bugging me about what people are saying about Vicinti here...
While, yes, it is true that Victini is at its maximum damage potential during those first few turns when your opponent doesn't know what set it is, it isn't at all like Kingdra/Mew in the sense that the danger factor reduces by a metric fuckton once the set is revealed. Each individual set already has a very limited amount of safe switch-ins, and this part does not go away once the surprise factor is gone. Think about it, what exactly do you switch into Blue Flare / Grass Knot / Focus Blast / Psyshock Vicini? Snorlax needs to be in tip-top shape to take this on, because Psyshock + Focus Blast does a lot of damage (Psyshock: 31.58 - 37.62%; Focus Blast: 41.24 - 48.69% vs standard Classic CurseLax). The more used set (by good players, anyway), CB, doesn't even stand a chance (Psyshock + Focus Blast is nearly a guaranteed 2HKO after SR. Umbreon is a good answer, and so is Slowking, but that's about it really. The CB set is so absurdly powerful that even its best switchins have to be at high HP to tank 2 hits (CB V-Create does 34% minimum to 248/0 Rhyperior and if Slowbro switches into a Bolt Strike once, then it gets 2HKO'd by V-Create the next time, despite Regenerator).
And this doesn't even begin to cover the other potential sets, like Trick Room / Mixed...
100% agreement here. I'd like to add that with all of these sets, there's also the immediate and common "threat" of U-turn - even if you do have a counter to Victini at a high enough health to live two hits, the Victini user can easily predict that and just get out of there and maintain momentum.
Another point I'd like to touch on is that these sets being argued are standard, but they can practically be mixed and matched however you please. I've seen mixed Charcoal victini with Blue Flare and V-Create, I personally use banded victini with grass knot for the surprise factor, and there a slew of other good options that make counters to sets even after you "reveal" them die. For example, Koko said that Umbreon and Slowking are good answers to special victini. If it turns out to be mixed running U-turn, you could be screwed. If it turns out to run Thunder (which a lot of sets do), then Slowking is hardly a counter.
The problem with Victini isn't that any one of its moves/abilities/sets is broken. It just has such a vast array of options that it is impossible to cover all of the bases and it is impossible to ever be safe from it. Just in my own experience, I've successfully used and seen:
Items: Charcoal, Life Orb, Choice Scarf, Choice Band, Leftovers(eh)
Moves: V-Create, U-turn, Bolt Strike, Zen Headbutt, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, Blue Flare, Psyshock, Psychic, Trick Room, Grass Knot, Stored Power, Quick Attack, Glaciate
Not only are all of these options viable, you could practically mix and match any number of them to get new and usable sets. Mixed Trick Room Victini with Psychic and Grass Knot? Sounds pretty good.
Finally, I'd like to flesh out my earlier statement of how good of a recipient of baton pass Victini is. It can make tremendous use of both Quiver Dances and Shell Smashes, which allow it to not only outspeed every scarfer in the tier at +2, but also just demolish everything in its sight.
@ Life Orb
EVs: 180 Atk/252 SpA/76 Speed (Outspeeds Jolly Scarf Mienshao after +2)
Trait: Victory Star
Rash Nature
- Stored Power
- V-Create
- Bolt Strike
- Substitute
At this stage, there are 3 pokemon in the entire tier who have a chance of living an attack after Stealth Rocks. Defensive Cress, who has a 12.6% chance to survive, RestTalk Snorlax, who has a 67.5% chance to survive, and Quagsire, who takes like 40-45%.
Obviously, these pokemon are extremely rare in UU, and Cress, which is probably the most common among all of them, can't even do anything in return. If you really wanted to deal with Quagsire you could run Grass Knot, but I prefer Substitute for blocking Sucker Punches from Bisharp/Honchkrow.
When a pokemon can not only effectively run sets from both offensive spectrums with any choice item but can also run very successful gimmick sets with Trick Room and Stored Power, you know that that pokemon is something that deserves to be suspected.
Yes, this is an excellent Baton Pass recipient. Keep the set the way it is. Stored Power has tremendous power after receiving STAB, LO boost, and +2 SpA/SpD/Spe from Venomoth.
I have also experimented with Bulk Up + Baton Pass Mienshao. While it is not exceptional, running Mienshao and Venomoth together let me get a lot of boosts on this beast:
Nidoking (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SpA/252 Spe
Nature: Hasty/Naive
-Fire Blast
-Ice Beam
Most Nidoking are purely special because of the excellent options to abuse Sheer Force with (Sludge Wave, Earth Power, Focus Blast, Fire Blast, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Blizzard), but running a mixed set lets Nidoking be an excellent wallbreaker, especially with boosts. Earthquake is the STAB of choice, hitting many Pokemon harder than Earth Power, as well as still doing plenty of damage to Mienshao, Victini, Chandelure, and Raikou (Nidoknig outspeeds all of these w/out a Scarf at +1 Speed). In particular, Snorlax and Porygon2 are hit much harder on the switch-in than with Earth Power. Fire Blast hits Steel and Grass-types such as Shaymin and Abomasnow. Ice Beam does a lot against Rhyperior- I think some variants are OHKOd, as well as Flygon. However, Megahorn is the really nasty surprise here. Umbreon is a common switch in to Nidoking since it can take all of its common attacks except Focus Blast, but Megahorn makes quick work of it.
Since we're talking about Froslass's suspect test, I thought I'd bring up that I recently posted an RMT for the suspect ladder:
The purpose of the team is to demonstrate more examples of threats can thrive without Froslass, such as Registeel and Torterra.
For those of you wondering why the standard UU ladder is still up, its because PS had some technical difficulties. I talked to Joim today and he said the standard UU ladder should be hidden by the end of today. If this goes off without a hitch, this'll be the schedule for the remainder of the suspect test:
Suspect UU ladder only: July 22 - July 29
Both UU ladders up again: July 29 - August 4th
Voting Thread goes up: August 5th
Voting Deadline: August 10th
The Victini test will hopefully go more smoothly.
EDIT: Okay, the standard ladder is now hidden, making the suspect ladder the only playable UU. You have a week from now (the 24th) with that as the only ladder, so you can acquire more easily. All the dates posted above will shift forward by 2-3 days, to accommodate for the delay.
Not to interrupt any of the suspect talk going on right now, but I'd like to talk about two amazing and underrated sets that I've found to be outstanding while laddering on suspect.
Sharpedo @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Protect
As most of you guys know, Sharpedo is already an amazing late-game cleaner. However, step away from the standard physical set, and try out special Sharpedo. Simply put, Special Sharpedo is amazing; it has great coverage in Hydro Pump, Dark Pulse, and Ice Beam that all pack some pretty strong power because of a very good 95 Special Attack. Special Sharpedo also has the nice advantage of surprise factor. What I really love about this set is that it runs Ice Beam, so Sharpedo can deal much more damage to Shaymin and Flygon than the physical set, and Hydro Pump is also really powerful. Dark Pulse has the cool chance to flinch, so it if the flinch chance somehow happens, you're pretty much golden. When you pair this set up with something like Custap Crustle to lay hazards, this set can singlehandedly tear whole teams apart.
Durant @ Life Orb
Trait: Hustle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Hone Claws
- X-Scissor
- Iron Head / Rock Slide
- Superpower
This is also an amazing late-game cleaner that can slice and dice whole teams to shreds. Durant has a ridiculous amount of power with Hone Claws and Hustle boosting its already high Attack to ridiculous levels, meaning it can hit so damn hard that it's not even funny. Between X-Scissor, Iron Head, and Superpower, Durant is a team killer that can destroy just about everything in UU. Durant also has a really nice Speed tier, so it can outspeed a lot of the UU metagame and hit them pretty hard in return. Durant can easily manhandle most team archetypes, and it can work very well with Discharge Porygon2 to paralyze most Azelf and Raikou so that Durant can outpace them as well and destroy them. This is a very underrated cleaner that should get a lot more credit.
PS: These two also work well together as a dual late-game cleaning combo.
Did I join a game of yours last night? I recall seeing a team with both of these on it. I hadn't really given special Sharpedo much thought until recently, when I found out that Hydro Pump actually out-damages Waterfall:
I've used Durant before with decent success, opting for a Lum Berry over Life Orb. I feel like Durant needs both STABs to be effective, and I think I ended up using Rock Slide over Superpower to be able to hit Fire and Flying types. It has a really nice speed stat and very few things can take a hit from it once it HCs. In my opinion however it really suffers from 4MSS.
I think there's a lot of untapped potential in using lower tier things in UU, I wonder if there would be any interest in starting a thread about discussing that.
