Do Bloggers Need a Union?
This week I have been noticing an uptick in articles proclaiming that bloggers need a union. Some of the reasons cited have had to do with banding together to get health insurance or normalizing of advertising rates.

Pokemon Farming: Skarmory
And the Johto week ends with a bang! Well, more like a swoosh.Skarmory has the distinct advantage of being quite a nice competitive tool. His defense stat is quite impressive, though he’s a bit of an offensive letdown. Luckily there are a couple moves that help to overcome this hindrance.Spikes is a great move that…
