1 Poison by Hundred Year Flood
I made the perilous trek up to Frogville Studios—more of a family than a business, really—to find some of Hundred Year Flood's members just hanging around drinking coffee. Part of what makes the band so cool is they're all working musicians in a town full of working musicians, but they are humble about their excellence.
The album Poison was actually recorded some time ago, and features Bill Palmer, Felecia Ford, Kendra Palmer and Jim Palmer. Sadly, we weren't lucky enough to listen in until last Halloween. The album touches on any number of topics, from the environment and politics to love songs and addiction. The entirety of the record is tight alt.country brilliance and even features some guest harmonica action from the famed Taj Mahal on the opening track, "Hell or Highwater." Flood was recently discovered by Mamoru Hirayama, a Japanese distributor who now has its CDs available in Tower Records all throughout Japan. A recent tour to Holland strengthened Flood's worldwide appeal, and a new album is already in the works. "If you're creative, then you're always rolling," guitarist Bill Palmer says.
Though there has been a slight change in lineup due to Jim and Kendra Palmer having a baby (congratulations!), new drummer Andy Kravitz and bassist John Courage have ably stepped in. There really is no doubt that Hundred Year Flood's next release will be a major contender for next year's Best Of issue.

Braves' Estrada making All-Star push
Chipper Jones is Atlanta's most likely All-Star candidate
Johnny Estrada's bat is starting to get hot, helping him climb even closer to the top of many statistical categories among National League catchers. Only time will tell if All-Star voters will take notice and reward him with his second consecutive All-Star Game appearance.
Estrada, who was selected by other NL players and coaches to participate in last year's Midsummer Classic, seemed to find his groove as May came to a close. As of Sunday, his batting average ranked third among NL catchers, behind the Padres' Ramon Hernandez and the Marlins' Paul Lo Duca.
As of Tuesday, when the latest balloting results were released, Estrada, with 215,774 votes, ranked third behind Lo Duca and the Mets' Mike Piazza, who once again is leading the voting.
Chipper Jones appears to be the most likely Braves player to get elected to the All-Star Game this year. Among balloting for NL third baseman, his 383,083 votes trail only the Cardinals' Scott Rolen, who has been out since May 12 with a shoulder injury that is expected to keep him sidelined until early July.
Marcus Giles, who was voted to be the NL's starting second baseman in the 2003 All-Star Game, hasn't received the same support he has in the past. He has received 237,635 votes and ranks fourth in the balloting behind the Dodgers' Jeff Kent, the Astros' Craig Biggio and the Cardinals' Mark Grudzielanek.
Giles' double-play partner, Rafael Furcal, has 269,606 votes and ranks third behind the Cubs' Mark Grudzielanek and the Cardinals' David Eckstein in balloting among NL shortstops.
Andruw Jones, who is bidding to participate in his fourth All-Star Game, ranks seventh among NL outfielders with 280,204 votes. Leading that group are the Mets' Carlos Beltran, the Cardinals' Jim Edmonds and the Phillies' Bobby Abreu.

— On Friday, Nov. 23, millions of consumers will flock to stores to take part in the Black Friday shopping experience. They are drawn by the promise of bargains and the thrill of mixing it up with throngs of fellow shoppers.
Unfortunately, the bargains are not always plentiful. While stores promote deep savings on a handful of highly desirable items, the prices of everything else are not much different from a normal shopping day. Edgar Dworsky, founder of ConsumerWorld.org, suggests going home with a Black Friday deal will require some advance planning.
"Black Friday now starts on Thursday," Dworsky said. "And for the first time, some stores are staggering their doorbusters, releasing different ones at different times. For Walmart, it is at 8pm and 10pm on Thursday and 5am Friday, while at Sears it is at 8pm and 4am. "If you don't read their circulars carefully, you may show up at the store either hours early or hours late."
Here are Dworsky's top 10 ways to get a Black Friday bargain:

Tabloid Report Says Eddie Van Halen Was Near Death
Saturday, September 8, 2012
A report in the new issue of the National Enquirer says that Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen was near death recently after his intestines "exploded." Van Halen was rushed to the hospital in what was described as "excruciating pain" after he swallowed a diet drink made partially of cayenne pepper, sources told the tabloid newspaper. Van Halen, who suffers from an inflammatory digestive tract condition called diverticulitis, had to reportedly have part of his small intestine removed as doctors battled to save the 57-year-old rock legend's life.
The Enquirer reported Eddie's wife, Janie Liszewski, his son and bandmate, Wolfgang and his ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli all feared Eddie wouldn't make it.
A source said, "Janie was beside him the whole time and Wolf kept a constant vigil. They were sick with worry because he was in so much pain, it really was touch and go."
As for Bertinelli, the source said, "Valerie was scared to death Eddie was going to die. Although he's remarried, Eddie is still close to Valerie, and she was there for him the whole time."
The drink that Eddie consumed was reportedly part of the Master Cleanse Diet, which he tried because of its supposed ability to rid the body of toxins.
The plan replaces food with a liquid consisting of water, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Health professionals have expressed concern over the lack of nutrition and high spice content in the concoction.
Dr. James O'Brien said, "The stress of fad diets increases pressure on the colon, and if the person has diverticulitis there may be leakage from the bowel into the abdomen."
A source close to Eddie Van Halen revealed that after Eddie drank the mixture, his "abdominal region was a disaster area. The spicy treatment touched off an explosion in his intestines."
The guitarist is now out of the woods, although he'll be recuperating for at least the next four months, forcing his band to put all tour plans on hold until 2013.

By Maureen Hayden
CNHI Statehouse Bureau
Gov. Mike Pence has made no secret that his Christian faith is critical to his identity, but he may be relying on his faith more than ever before in his challenging new political role.
On Tuesday morning, the Republican Pence greeted a bipartisan audience of legislators and other participants at the Indiana Leadership Prayer Breakfast with a reminder that there are "no politics in prayer."
But after spending his first eight weeks in office locked in an intra-party fight with legislators over his signature campaign promise as he transitions from Congress to the Statehouse, politics may be affecting his prayers.
During a lunchtime briefing with Statehouse reporters Tuesday, Pence described his short time in the governor's office as an "extraordinary couple of months" and "fundamentally different" than his six terms in Congress.
"The only way my prayer life has changed in the last few months is in its frequency," Pence said, in a response to a question about his faith. "A little more frequent. It is where I draw my strength."
Pence pledged to stay strong on his top legislative priority: getting a 10 percent reduction in Indiana's personal income tax rate written into the budget bill that's now moving through the General Assembly.
But he's yet to lock down the support of Republican legislative leaders, whom Pence expected to be his allies.
"It's fundamentally different," is how Pence described his new role as executive. "Our state's founders and our nation's founders designed a system of limited government that has checks and balances and it's been fascinating for me to be on the other side of that check and balance," he said.
Fascinating but not easy. Republicans who control the Statehouse have so far rejected his tax cut plan, calling unsustainable the $500 million hit it would take on state revenues annually.
The House-approved budget bill, now in the Senate, doesn't contain the tax cut and spends more of the state's $2 billion surplus instead on roads and schools.
Facing that opposition, Pence has taken his tax cut plea to the people, traveling the state to convince voters to pressure legislators to put his tax cut back into the budget.
"I am strongly committed to taking a portion of Indiana's historic surplus and providing across-the-board income tax relief for every Hoosier," Pence said, repeating part of the message he's taken on the road.
Under Pence's plan, the income tax rate would drop from 3.4 percent to 3.06 percent. The average Hoosier's taxes would fall only by about $100. Pence said the amount may be small but collectively has impact.
"The issue is not about whether the money would get spent, it's about who would spend it better," Pence said, adding: "I think people would spend it better and more efficiently and more wisely in the economy, in ways that will create growth and opportunity better than any government ever will."
It's an argument that hasn't resonated with the fiscally conservative Republicans in the Indiana General Assembly, who question the wisdom of cutting more taxes, after a series of tax cuts they've made in recent years.
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma said his priorities are more focused on ensuring fiscal stability and less on granting Pence his campaign promise. Bosma recently told the Wall Street Journal: "My encouragement to everyone is to look at long-term sustainability and not just an election cycle."
Pence declined to answer a question about whether he'd veto a budget bill that doesn't include his tax cut, repeating instead his comments that he's "strongly committed" to the plan.
"Having been a working legislator, I continue to be optimistic we're going to work this out," Pence said. "It's going to be a win for Hoosiers."

About Children's Book Press (CBP)
Children's Book Press was the first independent press in the country to focus on publishing first voice literature for children by and about people from the Latino, African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American communities. Since 1975, Children's Book Press has promoted lived and shared experiences of cultures who have been historically under-represented or misrepresented in children's literature while also focusing on promoting inter-cultural and cross-cultural awareness for children of all backgrounds. Read the full history of CBP.
In 2012, Children's Book Press became an imprint of LEE & LOW BOOKS. Children's Book Press will continue to not only affirm and validate a child's identity, culture, and home language, but also help build a solid foundation to achieve literacy in any language. Children's Book Press's important mission to promote bilingualism, literacy, and education lives on.
"Over the course of many years directing Children's Book Press, I was very happy to witness the flowering of Lee & Low as a major independent publisher of multicultural books for all our children. Quite simply, Lee & Low does innovative, courageous work. My heart rests easy in the knowledge that the legacy of Children's Book Press will live on with Lee & Low."
Founder, Children's Book Press
"I can think of no better place for Children's Book Press to land than with Lee & Low Books. For years, these two small, independent presses have been leaders, demonstrating their commitment to creating outstanding multicultural picture books for children, and together they will be a powerhouse."
Director of the Cooperative
Children's Book Center of
the School of Education at
the University of Wisconsin
"As one who has long been a user of Lee & Low publications, I look forward to additional titles of the same high quality with the acquisition of Children's Book Press. This organization's focus on multicultural materials at all grade levels is a valuable source for teachers, librarians, and parents who seek the best for their users."
Professor Emerita,
University of South Florida,
School of Library and
Information Science
"I am beyond thrilled that this important historical collection of great children's literature will once again become accessible to readers everywhere under the Children's Book Press Imprint.

So in love
Classic Allure Gate-fold Invitations I love my invitations so much everything was perfect. The colors look so wonderful on the paper. Everything is top of the line.
The perfect invitation
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations I searched long and hard for the perfect invitation to my fall wedding. I ordered several sneak peaks from this site before deciding on this design. I also ordered my save the dates from this site. Every magnet street transaction I have made has been completed in a timely manner and has exceeded my expectations. I chose the linen paper for this invitation and personalized it with my fall engagement photos. The results were vibrant and perfectly matched my theme. I loved that I was able to change the colors of the design to match; and the pictures were very easy to upload and place in the design. I showed off my sneak peak (which is also a great service to use because you get a peak of your actual design) and everyone absolutely loved it. People asked how much I paid per invitation because the quality was so high. I couldn't be happier with my invitation, rsvp cards, and envelope purchase, and I spent 200 dollars less than I expected too. I would highly recommend magnet street for all your paper needs.
Very happy with the product and service

While I like the Monk to actually have abilities to punch with Lightning damage on their fists, to do short range teleports, heal themselves, float through the air and do fire damage over a small area close to them. Such that they could conceivably replace the Swordmage class. I feel that others probably won't like a really magical Monk. But the problem with a Monk whose abilities are more grounded and less magical, is that they start to get too close to the Fighter, such that one could effectively play a Monk by just using a Fighter.
So where should the limits on the dials between non-magical and magical for a Monk be? Thinking back to the traditional 1e Monk, most of their really magical abilities were more "utility" abilities, except for perhaps Quivering Palm. But the Monk from 1e to 3e, is what I always felt was too rigid even if they were influenced by Wu Xia from the late 70's and early 80's. 4e Monk was in many ways very inspired by videogames (there literally was a power like Ryu/Ken's spinning kick from Street Fighter 2) and other outside sources, which some may feel is great and others not. I personally liked how 4e just said the Monk was psionic, since in 3e I felt the Psychic Warrior was often a better Monk than the Monk.
But ideally what's the optimum balance between the 2 extremes of mystical and more low-key?

The balance? Offer both options.
Internal monks use ki to improve their bodies, so they can run faster, jump higher, punch harder, and dodge or shrug off damage.
External monks are a bit more fragile, but can punch fireballs, create whirlwind kicks, and float in yoga pose then teleport.
Put a big bold sidebar saying, "The external monk might not be available in all settings. Check with your DM."
Most people will mix and match powers.

I like monks to have more 'magical' type abilities, but I like those abilities to reinforce the story of the class, not be a generic gish. More of a jedi without the lightsaber than anything. They should have physical and mental abilities the are clearly beyond the realm of the mundane, but very different from the normal 'magical' classes. I agree that earlier editions of the game had trouble with executions of the monk concept, but I kind of like the flavor the those classes. I don't really want them doing 'lightning fists' per se, though at higher levels going insubstantial, short teleports, and even something like Sith lightning is not beyond the pale.

I look at a monk as drawing power from within (psionic), which may or may not manifest in overtly supernatural ways.

Both. This is why I like power structures. You want your monk to look supernatural? Take the lightning powers. You want your monk to be a wire-fu maniac? Take the wire-fu powers. You want your monk to be mundane but skilled and tricksy? Take the mundane-appearing powers. Then leave it up to the player and the DM what they want to play in that game.

I never liked Monk as a class archetype.
I always loved to play martial artists/brawlers though.
I want unarmed combat to become a viable option for all melee classes in D&DN. With this flexibility it will be easy to build a feral Wolverine-style brute, tavern brawler, or even mystical oriental monastic martial artist.
I really don't want to be limited to Shaolin theme with my unarmed fighters again.

I would like a cleaned up 1st Ed Monk-deal.
Key features I would like are (in no particular order):
-Resistance to mind-affecting effects.
-Ability to heal themselves.
-Increased speed.
-Fall great distances unharmed.
-Dodge missiles/area effects.
-Commune with animals and plants.
-Metabolic control (like the Bene Gesserit, neutralise disease/poison in their system, etc).
And most importantly: no mention of Ki.

I think @Neonchameleon has it right - monks are the perfect class for the kits they've been adding to classes. Call them "styles" or "paths" and give them goofy pseudo-martial-arts names like "Red Fist Style" that can be refitted for individual campaigns. I'd actually make them fairly distinct, and leave the possibility of mixing and matching on the DM's side (so players weren't tempted to make an "uber" monk by picking the most powerful maneuvers from each style).
My only question would be what the core mechanic should be (if any). I don't like stealing CS from the fighter, and I feel like some sort of combo system (Flurry of Blows) would be a good way of modeling this. (I wrote a whole thread with an attempt at this a while back but in retrospect I'm not sure it's the best way of going about this.)

If you're using your fists to fight people with proper arms and armour, then you'd better be using magic.
Though it doesn't need to be blatant or flashy.

text: Ok, debating on which skater is artistic, sporty, or deserving enough is ridiculous, when it comes to their immigration status. Do you think the immigration committees actually sit around debating whether or not a skater deserved a medal? Regarding all the details about Kaitlyn, Tanith's immigration vs. other skaters... Yes, countries all have different rules and Isabella knew this. But that doesn't mean that Kaitlyn is any more "deserving" of citizenship or the chance to compete just because she chose a country with easier rules. Kaitlyn also "jumped the line." There's no need for bringing whatever money Isabella's family has into this, or how "pushy" her parents supposedly are. Even if it's true, she would not be the first or last skater with a pushy parent - so what? And if anyone thinks the top two teams in the world right now do not come from family money, they are dreaming. Does that make them less deserving? Did they themselves not put in the work to get where they are? I still think it's a good idea to give a mixed team the chance to compete at Olympics. If they can make a minimum qualifying score then why not? My last question is why they both didn't move out of Lithuania and into AZE or some "easier" country, long ago?

After years of waiting it's finally coming to theaters -- Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Bilbo Baggins, a kicked-back, happy-go-lucky Hobbit, joins Gandolf the Grey and 13 dwarves on a dangerous quest to reclaim their homeland and their treasure from Smaug the dragon.
The film, which is showing on two screens at the Starlight Six Drive-in Theatre in South DeKalb County, is a staggering 160 minutes. But unlike any of the Lord of the Rings films, it takes about an hour for anything to really get going.
Once it does, though, game on, with non-stop chase scenes and action sequences.
On the journey they run into every kind of creature imaginable. The problem is, most of them are CGI creations. That was a big misstep, I think. In the "Lord of the Rings" films most of the monsters were just guys in makeup, and there was a sense of presence. I was hoping for the same here.
GCI does work with Gollum (played by Andy Serkis). Gollum and Bilbo's game of riddles is a nice piece of character interaction between battle sequences.
Martin Freeman as Bilbo, Ian McKellen as Gandolf, and Richard Amitrage as the elf leader do a wonderful job of acting.
This film is a lot of fun to watch but it's not a great film as it never quite recaptures the charm of the "Lord of the Rings" films.
The Flick-O-Meter gives "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" a four out of five.
This film can be seen in 3D or 48 frames per second; it's really not worth paying the higher ticket price. Just go see it the regular way, at 24 frames per second. They've been doing it for decades, and it works just fine.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next two installments in the trilogy, and so should you.
Let me know what you think. Head to my Facebook page; it's called TheBrettside, and click Like.


text: The bitterness towards Irina mostly seems to come from bitter over the top Kwantards, which makes no sense really as Irina never stole away Kwans most treasured prize that she never managed (Olympic Gold), nor even won it herself, and Irina still did not surpass Kwans winnings or career or supplant Kwan as the best skater of that era. Maybe they just resent anyway that dares challenge her, be it Tara, Slutskaya, or to a much lesser degree Cohen (who hardly ever beat her but the Kwan brigade seems to resent the hype). They find enormous fault in all those skaters, even Cohen who is very artistic and had perfect positions, what they liked to diss Tara and Irina for. I say that as an impartial observer who likes both Kwan and Slutskaya, although neither is my all time favorite.

The flock of birds came into our view just over a mile from the waypoint entered into the boat's GPS, and shortly after we saw the birds, we saw the porpoises. A large school swam back and forth across the seamount known as Hannibal Bank, and as we strained our eyes in the morning light, we began to catch glimpses of what we had come for - yellowfin tuna.
The tunas and porpoises often swim together in the Pacific, and as guide Carter Andrews slowed the boat and we all grabbed stout spinning rods, we realized just how many of each species there were. We could see hundreds of tunas cruising in several large schools, which meant that thousands more likely swam beneath us. Andrews' mate, Juan Spragge, wasted no time watching as he positioned each of us along the gunwale of the center console and told us to await the order to cast.
Send Out the Poppers
Andrews steered the boat in front of an advancing school, and when the fish came within range, Ariel Pared, Raul Riviera and I wound up and heaved large popping plugs as far as we could, chugging them back toward the boat as quickly and noisily as possible. Spragge cast too, and as the tunas and porpoises passed, we retrieved our lures to make another pass.
It took several attempts, but Spragge finally hit pay dirt. A huge fish exploded on his lure in a giant splash after only a single popping motion, and the 60-pound braid screamed off the reel as the tuna sounded. "Nice work, Juan," Andrews said as Spragge passed the rod to Riviera, who settled in for what would be a long fight. The fish went very deep before settling down, and when it did, Riviera began the laborious task of trying to winch it back to the surface.
He brought the fish close several times, but the tuna would simply sound again, taking another strong run downward. A little over two hours into the fight, we at last saw color beneath the boat. The crew, who had lapsed into lethargy during the long struggle, suddenly became energized and readied gaffs in anticipation of the endgame. "Take your time, Raul - don't try to force it," Andrews said, and Riviera patiently worked the fish closer a few inches at a time.
When the fish came within gaffing range, Spragge leaned far overboard trying to grab the leader while I stood by with a gaff, but the fish had one strong surge left and sprinted down and under the boat suddenly and violently. The line touched the bottom of the hull, and the fish was gone. We estimated the tuna at close to 200 pounds. Everyone stared at one another in disbelief before we all finally laughed, and someone said, "That's fishing!"
Undeterred, we re-rigged and began casting the poppers again. We managed to land several nice fish but didn't hook another giant that day. Riviera will likely repeat the story of the big one that got away at Hannibal Bank for many years to come!

Cat Furniture & Scratchers
Cat Scratching Posts and ScratchersAll cats scratch, to some degree. Since scratching is a natural, instinctual behavior, your best bet is to equip your home with the best cat scratching post you can find. In the not-too-distant past, pet owners would often declaw their cats, especially indoor cats, to prevent them from destroying carpets and furniture. Today, declawing is discouraged and even illegal in some countries. Buying a cat scratching post or specialized cat furniture for your home will allow your cat to climb, hide, perch and scratch to his/her heart's content. We carry inexpensive cat scratching posts for under $10 as well as more elaborate trees with lookouts, ramps, bridges nests and tunnels. Cat scratchers are a win-win purchase: you'll save your sofa and drapes while enjoying hours of in-home entertainment watching your cat play.
