Voters in Trumbull and Mahoning counties likely will cast two votes for President Barack Obama for every one vote for Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The strongest support will come from union workers here who have benefited from the president's policies, especially in the auto industry.
Clearly the Lordstown General Motors plant is humming along and is a large measure of the success in the resurrection of GM since its Obama-backed bailout. There is even talk by the United Auto Workers that the Lordstown plant could grow its employment to the 10,000 level, but that could just be a pre-election hope that never materializes.
Yet, no one doubts the value of having Chevy Cruzes built in our back yard. Continuation of that in the future will be vital to our future.
The real hope for real prosperity in the valley, however, lies deep below the surface in the Utica shale formations where large pockets of energy repose. It's energy that will create wealth for landowners, jobs by the thousands and cash for the local economy that has languished for far too long.
On energy, Romney is the clear choice.
From the eastern border of Trumbull County all the way south along the Ohio River to Marietta, geologists say there is a reservoir of energy that can be the focal point of geopolitical change with worldwide implications.
In other words, we can matter.
How much Americans spend on energy to fuel cars, heat homes and power factories; how much the American government spends to maintain peace in energy-producing foreign nations; how many American soldiers die in combat based on protecting overseas energy supplies; how much eastern Ohio thrives by bringing relief to all of the above depends on an energy policy that emanates from the White House.
President Obama is perceived to have no real love for fossil fuel exploration and production here on U.S. soil.
During his first two years in office, President Obama held majorities in the House and Senate. He did not use that power to create a sustainable energy policy for America. Instead, he haphazardly stood against energy independence and lower energy cost. For example, while Romney said he would pave the way for the Keystone XL Pipeline to be completed ''if I have to build it myself,'' President Obama blocked the project that would bring cheaper Canadian oil to U.S. refineries and create thousands of construction jobs.
As the middle class, and everyone else, struggles with gasoline prices near or above $4 per gallon, President Obama's administration doesn't get that this is a severe penalty levied against almost every family in America. Working class families must get to work and back and they have been heavily "taxed" by gasoline prices which have doubled since the 44th president took office in 2009.
While Romney stands poised to promote a drastic shift in the country's energy production, President Obama's EPA enacted air quality standards that in 2014 would hinder oil and natural gas well production.
Romney promotes tapping more domestic energy sources, but President Obama prevents drilling on most federal lands, and continues to push - with billions upon billions of the government's borrowed dollars in ill-conceived investments - wind, solar and other green energy options that hold little hope of substantial success. He supports an electric vehicle industry that has little chance of surviving without massive government financing.
Energy, of course, is not the sole consideration when voting for president.
When President Obama took office unemployment was 7.8 percent. It is now more than 8 percent for the 43rd consecutive month.
When President Obama took office the national debt was $10.6 trillion. Now it's $16.1 trillion.
The federal government's annual budget deficit has topped $1 trillion every year since President Obama took office.
Median household income dropped from $54,983 to $50,964 since President Obama took office. About 50 percent of middle-class adults have fallen backward in income for the first time since World War II.
There were 31.9 million Americans on food stamps when President Obama took office; 46.6 million are on food stamps now.
The poverty rate was 12.5 percent in 2008; it was 15.1 percent 2011.
Despite all that, President Obama says ''. . . the private sector is doing fine.''
President Obama says his plan is for the wealthy to pay more taxes while the middle class will be given tax relief. This is a recipe for the national debt to be more than $20 trillion in four more years. He has plans to increase corporate income taxes to the highest levels in the industrial world. He says everyone should pay "their fair share," he wants the "wealthy" to pay more, but he doesn't explain how it is "fair" for so many to pay nothing at all in federal income taxes.
Romney's plan does not lower any taxes paid by the highest income earners, yet he promises to eliminate some deductions that benefit the wealthy. He says he will not offer any tax cuts that increase the deficit. His plan focuses on leaving the job creators tax incentive to do so.
President Obama's plan takes $700 billion over 10 years from Medicare and has offered no plan to keep Social Security solvent in the long run. As an advertisement in this edition signed by more than 30 local physicians explains, President Obama's health care plan will not improve health care or access to it. Romney pledges to dismantle it.
After riding a huge high on foreign policy and military strategy with the killing of Osama bin Laden, the Obama Administration's credibility has taken a huge hit in recent weeks in the wake of the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11. He promised to close the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay, but it is still open. Iran is four years closer to having nuclear capabilities.
President Obama never fulfilled his promise to be a uniting agent of change. Neither his hallmark economic stimulus package nor his legacy health care overhaul received any bipartisan support. When Republicans won the House in 2010, President Obama became more obstinate rather than move to the center like Bill Clinton did when he lost his majority.
Romney won the governorship in heavily Democratic Massachusetts where he and Democrats teamed up to succeed. He also brought conflicting sides together to save the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
Obama once said that if he didn't repair the economy ''in three years, this would be a one-term proposition.'' Indeed, one term is enough.
Election Day 2008 and Inauguration Day 2009 are significant moments in U.S. history that we can be proud of. Those were important steps in further distancing ourselves from our racially discriminatory past.
But now we must focus on substance, not symbolism. The Romney-Ryan ticket provides that substance, and is a better option for America at this time.

Dermatude's Meta Therapy is a blood-free, non surgical and painless face lift alternative direct from Holland and now is available in the US. Meta Therapy helps the skin to become firmer and regain its elasticity while fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become finer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.
Meta Therapy combines both aspects: natural skin improvement from the inside out and externally applied active ingredients by means of special serums. These serums called Subjectables contain Vitamins A, C & E plus hyaluronic acid and enter the top layer of the skin through ultra-thin needles creating painless, micro perforations in the skin.
The facial treatment is performed by professional beauty specialists on the entire face, neck, décolleté or specific areas for overall skin rejuvenation. The skin will get a better structure, finer pores, more firmness, elasticity and youthful appearance. The facial treatment starts with a course of four weekly treatments about 20- 45 minutes in length.
During this initial course, clients will see a significant improvement in skin. Subsequently, the treatment frequency is reduced to one treatment every two weeks or four treatments spread over two months. If the desired result is achieved, a periodical maintenance treatment is required to maintain the achieved result. Immediately after the treatment the skin can show some redness, which will disappear within a couple of hours. The client is allowed to wear make-up the next day and can resume the daily activities without any restrictions.
For more information about this treatment visit www.dermatude.com or call 877-628-7201.

BEXLEY - It was another day of huge offense, stifling defense, and a blowout win.
In other words, just another day at the office for Heidelberg's No. 22 football team.
There's plenty that can be written about Heidelberg's first five games of the 2012 season. One thing that can't be written about those games is that they raise the blood pressure.
The Student Princes are 5-0 for the first time in 18 years. They aren't just beating opponents. They are smothering them. HU is averaging 50.8 points a game, and only allowing about eight.
Heidelberg gave Capital little chance Saturday, scoring the game's first 31 points and rolling to a 45-10 win over the Crusaders.
It was Heidelberg's first win in Bexley since 1999.
Quarterback Mike Mees torched the Capital secondary, completing 17 of 33 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns. Two of his receivers - C.J. Powell and Donteea Dye - finished with more than 100 yards.
It was another in a string of strong games for Mees, who is just a sophomore.
"The adage is, we feel it's gonna take 15 games to have things settle down [for a player] and slow down for them," Heidelberg coach Mike Hallett said. "It was Mike's 15th game."
Of course, Mees had plenty of help. He threw touchdown passes to Powell (1 yard) and Christian Dominguez (19 yards), and Mees and Colin Bultinck completed passes to 10 different receivers.
Hallett was asked if the receivers' play reminded him of the days of former HU receiver Mike Preston, who's now on the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans.
"[Receivers coach] Bryan Moore's done a great job developing them," Hallett said. "They have the same work ethic as Mike P."
Then there was running back Cartel Brooks, who ran for more than 100 yards and a touchdown.
On defense, Justin Suddeth, Mitchell Kelly and R.J. Frazier all had interceptions, and Capital's standout running back - Bo Hardy - was held to 32 yards.
In addition, Heidelberg's Stephen Fejedelum had a pair of sacks.
"We had a number of guys who came up with big plays," Hallett said.
Capital fell to 1-4.

A rider's confident nod before the gate bursts open.
The triumphant toss of a cowboy's hat after he rides a beast that would have the rest of us running for our lives.
The Professional Bull Riders are back for their 2012 season, kicking off at N.Y.C.'s Madison Square Garden this weekend (the action airs on CBS Sports Network Saturday at 11 p.m. ET and Sunday on NBC at 2:30 p.m. ET).
And you don't have to know a thing about the sport to fall in love with it.
"I guarantee that I could go get anyone off the street and take them into an event and they're going to have a great time," PBR co-founder and nine-time world champ Ty Murray told PEOPLE last fall. "You can't say that about another sport."
But that's not all that distinguishes the PBR ...
1. It's Easy to Follow – And Easier to Get Hooked On
Matt Breneman
While the best riders can earn big paychecks, if they fail to stay on their bulls for those eight seconds, they do not get paid. (How's that for pressure?) "PBR bull riding is the extreme of extreme sports," top stock contractor Jeff Robinson tells PEOPLE. "Nowhere else can people see 130-lb. men go head-to-head against 1,700-lb. opponents, and the little guy always expects to win." Adds top-40 bull rider Sean Willingham: "The adrenaline rush and the challenge I face every time I get on the back of a bull keeps me wanting more."
2. The Cowboys Are Hot
No two ways around this one: these riders are easy on the eyes. And it's not just the cowboy hats and chaps that make them so appealing. "I hear a lot of women and girls who come to our events say that the bull riders are cute or that they have amazing bodies," says Murray with a laugh.
And why wouldn't they, with all the work of staying on a massive bucking bull? Those eight seconds "feel like a day at work!" says Willingham. "Sometimes it feels like it's never going to end." When they do stick out those eight seconds consistently, though, it can pay off in spades. Silvano Alves, who was crowned the 2011 PBR World Champion after 30-some events over the course of the year, earned a cool $1.4 million last year alone.
3. The Bulls Are Elite Athletes (and Real Characters)
Andy Watson / Bullstockmedia.com
While the sport has its naysayers (including PETA, which calls it an "archaic practice") and protesters have been spotted in recent years outside the Garden when the event is in town, the PBR staunchly maintains that it does everything possible to ensure the animals aren't harmed. Like any athlete, says Robinson, the bulls are very well cared for: "I would say all of the top bulls receive treatment equal to, if not better than, the world's greatest race horses. They are bred, fed and exercised to be the best of the best. The bulls are our livelihood and family, thus they are treated as such."
What's more, they're incredibly fun to watch. After dumping a cowboy, some bulls will take a "victory lap" around the area, showing off for the crowd. And last year's World Champion bull Bushwacker, stands still and calm as a soldier in the chutes but then bucks harder than any other bull out there. (He's even known to "pose" for the camera).
Others are not as nice about it. "Some bulls like to interact and be rubbed and petted," says Robinson. "And some like to rub and pet you! But no matter if they are laid back or mean and vicious, they all love their jobs, eight seconds at a time."

I have only had it a couple of weeks but I really like it. Easy to use and customize if you want. The holder with suction cups works really well, just stick it on the window and it's done. This is easy if you want to use it in another car really quick. It only says K2 when you are around certain businesses like Lowes, Walmart and Wells Fargo bank. You can mute it for that one time and then it will be off mute for the next time it detects. something.

A car thief drove off with more than he bargained for Friday morning when he jumped into an unattended car at a gas station at William Street and Fillmore Avenue.
A 3-year-old was in the back seat.
The toddler – unharmed – and the vehicle were later recovered.
Police charged both the suspected car thief and the child's mother.
Shortly after 12:30 a.m., a man got into the vehicle after the driver went into the gas station. She left the keys and the toddler in the car, police said.
Surveillance video and a tip led officers to the car and child about 90 minutes later in the 100 block of Detroit Street, a few blocks to the west, according to police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge.
The toddler, still in the car, was not harmed, DeGeorge said.
Carl Thomas, 24, of Buffalo, found in the 400 block of Fillmore Avenue, not far from the scene of the crime, was charged with grand larceny, kidnapping, reckless endangerment and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
The toddler's mother, Shawntey Harper, 28, of Buffalo, was charged with reckless endangerment.

The show is – as one says, of such epic productions – teeming with characters. It swarms with plots, subplots and side-plots. If you missed the first two seasons, you might be afraid to just jump in. Don't be.
Just remember that everyone's motive is essentially the same: Win the Iron Throne and control all the kingdoms. (Think of Jerry Seinfeld chasing down the marble rye, but there are hundred of Jerrys and only one loaf.)
Oh, and everyone wants to avoid being brutally slaughtered.
You'll be hooked fast enough, and you'll develop your own set of obsessions to anticipate each week. These are mine:
1. The dragonsThere are three of them, advanced into what I would roughly describe as adolescence, and they are faithful to the woman who raised them: Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), the exiled warrior queen with a fierce heart but a delicate, white-blonde beauty that would make her an ideal muesli spokesmodel. Thrones, unlike The Lord of the Rings, is a mostly human story – the mythical element is used sparingly, and that makes the dragons all the more exciting. Once they grow, we're made to understand, they will be the ultimate weapon.
It would be nice if HBO could develop a live minicam, so that we could watch them like kittens or puppies, playfully scorching the walls.
2. Tyrion LannisterOne thing lacking from Games is humor – plenty of portents of doom, very few punchlines – which is why Emmy-winner Peter Dinklage is so welcome as the dwarf Tyrion. Smarter than everyone, Tyrion is also underestimated, mistrusted and mistreated. Dinklage plays him with a tongue-in-cheek Shakespearean swagger and, often, a look of injury in his eyes that betrays how much Tyrion has been hurt throughout his life. He's the one character who could do many, many bad things, and you would forgive and probably still like him.
3. Lady Olenna TyrellA character new to this season, she is grandmother to Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer), who is expected to wed rotten little King Joffrey, the current, illegitimate occupant of the Iron Throne. Lady Olenna is a crafty, sarcastic expert at extracting information and – this is what matters – played by Diana Rigg. A tremendously entertaining actress still best known for her sexy panther slink on the '60s spy show The Avengers, she's virtually the only Revered Old British Actor or Actress who didn't appear in the Harry Potter movies. May she reap the rewards of Game of Thrones.
4. MelisandreNot having read George RR Martin's Game of Thrones novels, I can't figure out just how large or decisive a role will be played by this menacing red-haired priestess (the Dutch actress Carice van Houten). But in season 2 she went off into a cave and gave birth to a smoke creature, and it was fabulous.
5. The 'Game of Thrones' musicThe best opening-credits theme on any current television show: rousing, pulsing, Celtic, big. Every time I hear Ramin Djawadi's, score, I know that winter is coming. I throw on all my furs, pull on my mud-caked boots, set down my sword where I can easily reach it, and watch the show.

Auburn PD investigating first homicide in nearly a decade
Man found dead off Park Street
Auburn police are investigating a homicide after a 33-year-old man was found shot to death.
Larry Colvin was discovered Tuesday morning in a secluded area off Park Street.

Colvin was from the Bay Area, according to police.
It is the first homicide to take place in Auburn in nearly a decade.
"This is an isolated incident, in our estimation. I want citizens and the business community to know they are safe," Auburn Police Chief John Ruffcorn said.
Police believe the shooting was an isolated incident.
Investigators said they will head to San Francisco to continue their investigation.

Glanzmann's disease is a rare disorder of blood platelets, which results in easy bruising and nosebleeds.
Glanzmann's disease is caused by the lack of a protein that is normally on the surface of platelets. This substanceis needed for the cells to clump together (aggregate) normally.
The condition is congenital, which means it is present from birth. There are several genetic abnormalities that can cause the condition.
The following tests may be used to diagnose this condition:
Other tests may be needed, including the testing of relatives.
There is no specific treatment for this disorder. Platelet transfusions may be given to patients who are having severe bleeding.
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is a life-long condition for which there is no cure. You should take special steps to avoid bleeding if you have this condition.
Anyone with a bleeding disorder should avoid taking aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen. These drugs can prolong bleeding times and prevent platelets from activating and aggregating.
Call your health care provider if:
A blood test can detect the gene responsible for the platelet defect. You may wish to seek genetic counseling if you have a family history of this problem and are considering having children.

The worst day, as screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein remembers it, was when Vestron executives brought in movie producer Aaron Russo to advise how to salvage Dirty Dancing.
"Burn the negative and collect the insurance money," he reportedly suggested.
Had the execs heeded Russo's advice, the indie movie - released 25 years ago this week - would not have gone on to earn an Oscar, $214 million, and the fervent love of generations of moviegoers.
The story behind Dirty Dancing is much like that of Bergstein's heroine, Baby (Jennifer Grey), who tries, fails, and tries again to make the leap into the arms of Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze).

Christopher Garland(aka)garland5000
My fav naruto episode has to be the one where naruto, hinata, kiba, and shino team up and look for the beetle that can help find sasuke and naruto see's hinata dancing on the water and hinata protects naruto that is the best episode i have got to say.
it has been so long since i have seen that one i forgot about it.
an episode that has not aired yet the naruto pain battle I bring light where there is darkness. Hope shines brightly in my chest. In my heart there lies a bouquet of roseshttp://www.monstersgame.us/?ac=vid&vid=175002609
I haven't skipped ahead to Shippuden yet, cause I'm actually watching the filler 'sodes, so I would have to stick with the regular Naruto episodes...my favorite episode was the face off between Naruto and Sasuke, when they were both fighting at full power. "You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever! "
one of the best episodes. it is a classic.
Christopher Garland(aka)garland5000 The best episode is when jiriya hits naruto in the gut with the five prong seal and release orichemaru's seal that disrupts the nine tail chakra."I SHALL RETURN BY GEN MAC ARUTHER"
when sakura and chiyo fight sasori. i think its episode 218 or somethin
coz' i think its a funny episodeand i like it when hinata faints when she seesnaruto "blood isnt enough..."

Firearms in 4E
4E is probably one of the easiest editions of D&D to have blackpowder firearms in.
Let's see:
Blackpowder pistol * Simple Ranged Weapon
cost: 50 gp
Damage: 1d8
Proficient: 0 (Special - if used with a power that targets AC that power instead targets Reflex)
Range: 10/20
Properties: Load Special (may not be reloaded in combat), counts as a crossbow for rogue powers and class features
Weight 5 lbs
Blackpowder musket * Simple Ranged Weapon
Cost: 75 gp
Damage: 1d10
Proficient: 0 (Special - if used with a power that targets AC that power instead targets Reflex)
Range: 15/30
Properties: Load Special (may not be reloaded in combat), counts as a crossbow for rogue powers and class features
Weight: 10 lbs
Blackpowder rifle * Superior Ranged Weapon
Cost: 100 gp
Damage: 1d10
Proficient: +1 (Special - if used with a power that targets AC that power instead targets Reflex)
Range: 20/40
Properties: Load Special (may not be reloaded in combat - a character may reload only one blackpowder rifle per short rest), counts as a crossbow for rogue powers and class features
Weight: 10 lbs
Blackpowder charge * Alchemical Ammo
Formula cost 20 gp
Component Cost 1 sp
Level 1
Requires the Alchemist Feat to create
No blackpowder weapon may be used in an attack or with a power that would consume more than one charge of powder when that attack or power is used with a blackpowder weapon
About as "realistic" as I feel like getting with firearms in D&D.
First: Yes, they're simple weapons - the reason firearms became popular almost immediately upon invention is that, unlike bows or even crossbows, they didn't require much training. (The rifle being an exception - I would say in the hands of an untrained user it should count as a musket). This despite firearms not improving on a trained bowman or crossbowman until rather late, historically-speaking. They're also handier and easier to transport (though that's not really an issue in D&D per se), and the ammo is much less bulky.
Lack of proficiency bonus should balance out the targeting of a NAD.
Damage deliberately modeled on that of a crossbow and longbow; ranges deliberately shortened. I want these to be options, not must-haves. Goal is to make them interesting, especially for certain types of characters. Specifically, the rogue clause allows for pirates built on Rogue class

I don't really like the Load Special. Saying that a gun can't be reloaded mid-battle seems way too artificial. Load Standard is my preferred approach. It is still enough of a penalty to get people to carry multiple guns.
On the other hand, saying that a gun counts as a crossbow is something that I would do myself. However, your wording is too awkward. What about any class powers that are dependent on crossbow use that are not rogue powers? It would be clearer if you just put guns in the crossbow weapon group (they are currently lacking a weapon group anyways).
Final score: 2/5. Needs more work.

Remember when 4E was first announced (and that Thor and other gods would be in it) and someone asked if firearms would be in the DMG... and the reply was no, they'd be in the PHB. That means the rules are out there, and they just haven't found a home for them yet. An article on 4E GIFF would be a great place to combine a firearms article for Dragon...

I figured I'd add to this thread. I have a mini-CS coming out soon for 4th edition; Scarrport, City of Secrets, and it has some steampunk elements and makes use of Firearms. The guy who wrote these rules is Greg Tito, who also co-wrote Forgotten heroes: Fang Fist and Song
From the text:
"Babel Springstep was the first to introduce a weapon that used small explosions to propel projectiles into an opponent at great distances. At first, his weapons were unpredictable and difficult to aim. But experimentation in the Craftwerks with different sized tubes and strange new propellants have resulted in a weapon that can be effective in the chaos of the battlefield. Watching children twist a ball while throwing it gave Babel Springtep a vital clue to providing the accuracy necessary and his rifled barrels are highly sought after. The crafty gremlin would like to one day mass-produce these weapons in his factories but, for now, each pistol needs to be handmade.
Loading the firearms with bullets, however, is still a tedious affair and takes several moments away from contending with the foe. Only the quickest duelists have learned to reload their firearms and make them as effective as a crossbow. These adventurers are, oddly enough, also the some of the only individuals able to afford the expensive firearms.
Firearms can be used with a basic ranged attack as well as any ranged weapon power. All firearms have a special power that can be used once per encounter, as long as they are loaded during a short rest. This special power represents a well packed and loaded shot and is able to do significantly more damage than a standard ranged weapon. Once fired, the special power renders the firearm unusable for the rest of the encounter.
Firearms may not be enchanted with magic item properties, but they can be crafted with an inherent enhancement bonus. For example, you cannot buy or craft a Thunderburst Springstep Pistol, but you can buy or craft a Springstep Pistol +5 for 625,000 gp.
Ammunition for pistols and rifles are different and more expensive than arrows or bolts. There is no special ammunition that can impart higher damage. Firearms require special tools, brushes and oils to load and maintain the weapon. Any extended rest in which you do not have access to a firearm kit, you have cumulative -1 penalty to hit with the weapon."
Sample Weapons:
Standard Pistol (+1 to +6) Level 3+
The brushed steel of this weapon has a dull gleam which can terrify your opponents.
Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp
Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp
Lvl 13 +3 17,000 gp Lvl 28 +6 2,125,000 gp
Weapon: Firearm
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls
Critical Hit: +1d6 damage per plus
Power (Encounter): Standard action. Attack one creature within 20 Squares: Dexterity + 2 vs. AC; 2d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.
(Level 13-18): Increase attack bonus to +4 and increase damage to 3d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.
(Level 23-28): Increase attack bonus to +6 and increase damage to 4d10 + Dexterity modifier damage.
Standard Rifle (+1 to +6) Level 3+
Many of the Red Guard carry this weapon as standard equipment in Scarrport.
Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp
Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp
Lvl 13 +3 17,000 gp Lvl 28 +6 2,125,000 gp
Weapon: Firearm
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls
Critical Hit: +1d6 damage per plus
Power (Encounter): Standard action. Attack one creature within 40 squares: Dexterity + 2 vs. AC; 3d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.
(Level 13-18): Increase attack bonus to +4 and increase damage to 4d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.
(Level 23-28): Increase attack bonus to +6 and increase damage to 5d10 + Dexterity modifier damage
Paragon Feat
Prerequisite: Proficiency with firearms, Dexterity 17
Benefit: Reloading a firearm takes a minor action instead of a standard action.
Thoughts, anyone?

My communities:
A) Too many "Special" case exceptions to rules. Personally, I hate them. They muddle the rules, and are troublesome to keep track of.
B) Proficiency as a simple weapon. Remember, anyone can use any weapon. You just don't get the Proficiency bonus to attack, if you aren't. It makes the weapon more meaningful, if you the character has to sacrifice a feat or two to get the full benefit of the weapon.
C) Realistic Shmealistic. This is D&D.
Consider these...
Weapon: Pistol
Prof: +2
Hnd: 1H
Dmg: 1d8
Rng: 15/30
Price: 50 gp
Wght: 2 lb.
Group: Firearms
Properties: Load move, high crit
Weapon: Musket
Prof: +2
Hnd: 2H
Dmg: 1d10
Rng: 30/60
Price: 75 gp
Wght: 4 lb.
Group: Firearms
Properties: Load move, high crit
Firearm cartridges (10) 1 gp
MUSKETEER [Rogue]
Prerequisite: Dex 13, rogue
Benefit: For the purposes of powers and feats, firearms count as crossbows.
They are both about a half step up from the equivalent crossbows. The prices are expensive, but not prohibitive for 1st level characters. The single feat allows for gunslinger rogues, without special rules for the weapon itself. The weapon proficiency bonus and the high-crit property can be considered the "armor piercing" side of firearms.
I'd make them a superior ranged weapon, since they require a specialized knowledge and a reasonable amount of practice when it comes to caring for the weapon, loading it, and firing it without flinching.

In a system where you can reload, aim, and fire a freaking longbow at someone anywhere between right in front of you to five hundred yards away and hit them at ease in the space of six seconds, I never understood the need to make guns suck for "realism" purposes.

With the same procedure, and the English standard for a musket armed infantryman to be able to fire three rounds a minute: 3/10=3.333, round to 1 shot every 3 rounds.
That rate would make pistols and muskets capable of being reloaded, but in a close fight you'd fire and use the bayonet or the musket as a club or just drop it and draw a sword.

The West Virginia Board of Education - the regulatory body for schools in the Mountain State - sure has a lot to learn. The handling of former state Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple's termination was messy at best and possibly actionable at worst.
Further, it has been a process that has left the public and its best interest in the background, focusing instead on what seems like a personal agenda to oust Marple no matter the cost.
Remember the duck test? "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck," so the saying goes. That's the figurative analogy for a form of inductive reasoning.
It appears the state board didn't use any reasoning at all when looking at the future of education in West Virginia. Instead, a majority of members applied a literal "duck" test when handling this situation.
As a verb, the word duck has several definitions. Among them are the following:
-To stoop or bend suddenly; bob.
-To plunge the whole body or the head momentarily under water.
-To avoid or evade (a blow, unpleasant task, etc.); dodge: to duck a hard right; to duck an embarrassing question.
Let's recap. The state board did bend suddenly, changing course from the positive review and salary increase it recently had given Marple to deciding she no longer served its will.
Then, it appeared Randolph County Superintendent James Phares was all but guaranteed Marple's job. Yet, the board veered suddenly again - this time at its meeting Thursday. Phares was a no-show, and the state board instead is discussing a nationwide search to fill the superintendent's role.
Thursday's meeting, which also was supposed to provide answers, closure and meet the legal litmus test for handling Marple's termination, really didn't accomplish much at all.
The state board - at least a majority of the voting body - has been conducting its business as though its head really is under water. And it has ventured into very dark, murky waters where the public spotlight has been extinguished. Thursday's show for the cameras doesn't undo what clearly appears to have occurred previously behind closed doors.
Finally, some board members seem as though they are trying to avoid or evade questions to which we feel taxpayers deserve answers.
After Thursday, we now have more questions than answers. The public comment period of the meeting was nothing more than a farce. The voting majority of the board showed no interest, concern or regard for anything other than its mission to remove Marple.
We find this sad, very sad, indeed. If anyone failed to do one's duty, it was the state board, not its superintendent.
Should Phares be approved to fill in as state superintendent while a search is under way for a permanent replacement, he certainly will have his hands full. He's facing an even bigger mess than the one he had to clean up here at the start of his tenure in Randolph County.

Make the Bread, Buy the Butter
When enthusiastic home cook, Jennifer Reese lost her job she wondered if making homemade staples would be more cost effective. Is homemade mayonnaise cheaper than the tub you buy in the store? And just as important, does it taste better? Her book, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter has over 120 recipes for the from-scratch cook - looking for both cost savings and taste improvements.
Reese's journey to make and taste homemade versions of cupboard regulars like peanut butter and bread and the more exotic like camembert and prosciutto includes helpful input from her family. She makes it sound like making your own ginger ale isn't crazy -- but actually fairly easy, cheaper than store bought, and delicious. Her voice throughout the book is casual and often really funny. The best part of the book is her interest in the highly practical and includes a 'hassle factor' for each item. Every recipe has a realistic cost comparison with store bought and an indication of how difficult each item is to make. Right there is bold print is a verdict on each item: Make it or Buy it. A few items get a warning. Make or buy cream cheese? Reese says to make it once and then decide. Make or buy English muffins? Depends on whether you are eating them plain or as a base for eggs benedict.
Some items fall solidly in the buy it category -- things like potato chips and maraschino cherries. But there are lots of others that fall in the make it category and I'm intrigued and inspired. Coming soon to my pantry? Vanilla extract, hot sauce, marinara, mustard, granola and the aforementioned ginger ale.
Similar to Reese's title, The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making by Alana Chernila also includes recipes for from-scratch staples such as ketchup, yogurt and mozzarella. While Chernila doesn't include a hassle factor, she does have a few recipes for cereal bars that look delicious!

(SEER-shuh)A great friend, a great great great friend. You should never leave her or hurt her, because she has such strong ties with others that she could get revenge easily. All the guys want her because she is Irish and she has light eyes. She is pretty and nice and can have ties with anyone from the half-nerds to the half-populars. She can get mixed up in bad things sometimes but always comes back. Finds it harder to leave someone she loves.

This is the Gaelic word for "freedom". It's pronounced SEER-sha. This word is often used as a name and a term with political overtones, especially by those who believe that Northern Ireland should be part of Ireland, and not the U.K. It has growing popularity as a girl's name, usually indicating strong Irish pride.
A delightful hostel owner in Ireland who fiercely insisted that Northern Ireland should be part of Ireland named his dog Saoirse.

During 2011, German drivers purchased 1,858 electric vehicles, 1,796 were purchased in France, 1,547 found homes in Norway, and 1,170 were purchased in Britain. Those numbers make EVs only a small fraction of the vehicles on the roads today.

LAKE TAHOE — Possession of fireworks of any kind, including sparklers, is illegal in the Lake Tahoe Basin, officials with the U.S. Forest Service said Monday.
Camp fires are not permitted on Forest Service beaches or in the general forest. On Wednesday, July 4, only, personal barbecues are allowed at Nevada, Pope and Baldwin beaches but are not permitted on any other Forest Service beaches or in the general forest.
An annual alcohol ban will be in effect on Nevada Beach and within Zephyr Cove Resort and Zephyr Shoals (the former Dreyfus Estate). In addition, county and state laws also ban the possession or consumption of alcohol on the Truckee River from Tahoe City to Alpine Meadows and Chamber's Landing Beach on the West Shore through July 6. These areas will be patrolled by law enforcement personnel from the Forest Service, Douglas County, Placer County and Carson City sheriff departments, and by private security staff.
"If you're parking on the side of the road to access Forest Service facilities, make sure you're parked completely on gravel or dirt, not on vegetation," the press release reads. "Parking on vegetation may result in a citation for resource damage, plus there's a chance your car's catalytic converter could spark a fire."
Residents also should be aware of rules on where dogs are allowed. Dogs are not allowed at designated swim beaches, including Nevada, Pope, Baldwin, Meeks and William Kent.
If you are looking for a place to take your leashed dog, try Kiva Picnic Area from Valhalla Boathouse/Pier to Tallac Point in South Lake Tahoe, Echo Lakes on Echo Summit, Zephyr Shoals on the East Shore (the old Dreyfus Estate located north of Zephyr Cove Resort), Hidden and Chimney beaches on the East Shore, Coon Street Beach (at the boat launch) in Kings Beach, 64 Acres in Tahoe City or Kaspian Recreation Area on the West Shore.
For information, visit the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit website at www.fs.usda.gov/ltbmu.

LISBON - County Prosecutor Robert L. Herron recognized Salem Police Detective David Talbert on Friday as the 2012 Columbiana County Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer.
Herron presented the award during an annual training seminar he hosts for police officers.
The award is presented to officers who demonstrate superior ability and effort in law enforcement and whose work ethic makes their community a safer place.
Article Photos
Salem Detective David Talbert is flanked by his chief, Robert Floor, left, and county Prosecutor Robert Herron. (Submitted photo)
Talbert has been a police officer in Salem since 1999, and was promoted to Detective in 2006.
Talbert served previously with the Leetonia Police Department.
In making the presentation, Herron addressed the various roles necessary for effective law enforcement, stating:
"The function of the police is to investigate a crime, identify any witnesses, and develop the evidence necessary to prove any person charged with a criminal offense guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The role of the prosecutor is to take that police investigation and try the defendant in a Court of Law. We, as prosecutors, cannot do our job until the police do theirs.
Our role in the prosecutor's office positions us to identify those police officers who know what to do, and then conduct an investigation that will sustain a conviction.
"Detective Talbert is a very conscientious and capable professional. He has consistently demonstrated competence and persistence in numerous cases, including a recent murder offense that was challenging, complicated and protracted. That case required an extraordinary investment of his time and efforts, and he remained an integral part of the prosecution as well as the investigation, leading to a conviction. His work ethic has distinguished him as an excellent police officer and I am pleased to be able to honor his efforts and professionalism.
"It is important that the community is aware that it is fortunate to have exemplary officers working its streets. Salem has a police department it can be proud of and officers like Detective Talbert merit recognition."

It wasn't the best speech of President Obama's career, but if his convention address didn't knock it out of the ballpark, it at least put the ball in play. It did what the speech by Republican nominee Mitt Romney did not: Fired up the base while appealing to independents and, just as important, giving the entire audience reason to feel impassioned.
That's theater, to be sure, but it's also more than that. Presidents lead, in no small part, by rallying Americans to their point of view. That requires a degree of eloquence. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton had it in spades, and they won re-election. Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush did not. They served a single term each.
Eloquence alone does not mean Obama will or should win re-election. But it does mean that Obama reminded Americans that he has the necessary rhetorical skills to lead, should Americans decide to renew his lease.
Of course, having the skills doesn't mean you will use them, and one of the disappointments of Obama's presidency has been his failure to bring his speaking ability to bear as the Republican (tea) Party - a.k.a. The Party of No - worked to undermine him at every turn.
Nevertheless, those skills were much in evidence in Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday night. Drawing a sharp difference between himself and the party that Republicans have become, Obama said: "Over and over, we have been told by our opponents that bigger tax cuts and fewer regulations are the only way; that since government can't do everything, it should do almost nothing.
"We don't think government can solve all our problems," he continued. "But we don't think that government is the source of all our problems - any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we're told to blame for our troubles."
Obama also alluded to a point that Bill Clinton specifically made the previous night: "In Tampa," Clinton said, "the Republican argument against the president's re-election was pretty simple: We left him a total mess, he hasn't finished cleaning it up yet, so fire him and put us back in charge."
On that question may turn the election. Will Americans accept Clinton's formulation - not only that Obama inherited an economic shambles, but that Republicans wanted no part of fixing the problem - or will their calculation be more basic: The economy is still weak; jobs are scarce; we need to try something new.
Obama's speech was also more rounded than Romney's, dealing not only with the economy, but with the military and foreign policy. In a startling omission, Romney didn't mention the war in Afghanistan and barely touched on foreign policy, for decades a strong suit in Republican presidential campaigns.
With the conclusion of the conventions, the candidates now begin the two-month sprint to Election Day Nov. 6. It is, of course, too much to hope that they will remain positive, focused on the issues and their plans for addressing them. The fact is that negative campaigning works, and we would even allow that it has its place. There's nothing wrong with making voters aware of an opponent's weaknesses.
But voters also have the right to evaluate the attacks for their honesty, their relevance and for what they say about the candidate leveling the charge. That approach won't mean much to the true believers in either party, but it could to the independents who will likely provide the margin of victory.
There is a lot on the line in this election. Not only jobs and the economy and all the other issues that a president must handle, but the very direction of the country. Today's Republicans and Democrats hold radically different ideas of the appropriate role of government. Neither has the perfect prescription for the future, but one or the other will hold sway in the White House. It's time not only for the candidates to focus on the issues, but voters as well.

Beyond the technical skill a surgeon requires, it's also critical for a surgeon to know the right time to operate, says Dr. Jeffrey Lafond of Tri-County Surgical Associates. Dr. Lafond has been operating at Trident and Summerville medical centers since 1995. As a general surgeon, he does a variety of procedures including amputations, the extraction of a many cancers and the removal of inflamed organs such as the appendix. Working the controls of the da Vinci robotic system, he can remove a gallbladder through a small surgical incision at the patient's navel, and he is the only doctor in the Lowcountry who performs the new "single site" procedure. "The robotic system is incredibly exciting because of the increased range of motion and enhanced visibility it provides the surgeon, as well as smaller surgical incisions and more rapid recovery for patients."
Medical School: Medical University of South Carolina
Residency: Medical University of South Carolina

For all you uneduacted people who think the volunteer "fire departments" should not be replaced by trained, quality 24/7 professional FIREFIGHTERS...... Place your family in a house, light it on fire and then call 911. Lets see how much confidence you have in the volunteers then. Do I see any takers? Your silence says it all. Thankyou, and please install home sprinklers in your houses, it will give your family time to escape and live while the volunteer "firefighters" decide if they will respond or not.

Rock, get your head out of the ground. The volunteer "firefighters" are NOT dedicated. You call having Loudon County fire units responding and getting on scene first dedicated? You call houses burning to the ground dedicated? You call people dying due to the poor quality of volunters dedicated? No matter how much you can change the volunteers they will not change their old backwards ways. That's why most of the good quality citizens do not volunteer. The volunteer "fire" companies are just clubs with bullies in them. They care more about not giving up their run areas and pretending to be firefighters than the actual citizens they should be protecting. Figures, someone dies due to SLOW response times and you STILL think volunteer "firefighters" should stay. You need help dude. LOL

Funny how the Asst. "Fire" Chief of Citizens stated that they were responding in minutes when it acctually took them 14 minutes to start responding to the fire. Looks like someone is trying to pull the wool over the citizen's eyes. It's tragic that people die in fires due to the VERY SLOW response times of the county volunteer "firefighters". WAKE UP people!!!!!! Of course the people of Jefferson county also reelected Shirley... so I guess there is really no hope in Jefferson county.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - California legislators are never afraid to add new laws to the books and this year is no exception. Governor Jerry Brown signed 873 bills into law, most taking effect January 1st. Here's a sampling.
• Prop 30: Who could forget Governor Brown's voter-approved sales tax increase which went into effect this week.
• Driverless Vehicles: SB 1298 now allows the testing of driverless vehicles on public roads, although a human must be in the car in case of an emergency. I can see it now, "Chevy, pickup the girls at school and while you're at it, stop by Safeway and bring home a six-pack."
• Red-Light Cameras: A new law tightens restrictions on the use of red-light traffic cameras at intersections and clarifies conflicting court opinions by declaring that evidence from these cameras is not hearsay, which means the photos are admissible, thus giving red-light cameras credence in court.
• Social Media Privacy: Two separate bills reach out to protect social media privacy. SB 1349 prohibits public and private universities from requiring students to disclose user names or passwords for social media like Facebook, while AB1844 prohibits employers from demanding a worker's or a job seeker's username or password. Information available without a password can and often is used by universities and employers, so be mindful young folks.
• Bear Hunts: It is now unlawful to use dogs to hunt bears and bobcats except when dogs are guarding crops or livestock or when hunting with a depredation permit. Although it's commonly done, I never liked the idea of having dogs chase bears up a tree, then shooting them out of the tree. I guess I am not alone. Also, poaching wild game fines are dramatically increased, and that's okay with me.
• Ronald Reagan Statue: In this terribly important bill, a Ronald Reagan statue is now authorized at the State Capitol.
• Mental Retardation: Under AB 2370, the phrase "mental retardation" is changed to "intellectual disability."
• 9-1-1 Calls: A new Good Samaritan law keeps a person from being arrested on drug use or possession charges after summoning medical help with a 9-1-1 call for an overdose involving themselves or someone else. The purpose is to encourage
9-1-1 calls to seek medical help for drug or alcohol overdose.
• Homemade Food: AB 1616 legalizes and sets standards for selling different products made in home kitchens, such as bread, tortillas, cookies and jams. I'll check this out and detail the bill in a future column.
• Space Travel: Here is an important new law. AB 2243 limits the liability of commercial space flight firms as long as they aren't grossly negligent and don't intentionally injure someone. Thank goodness.
• Elections: This one is interesting although I have read nothing about it. AB 1436 allows qualified residents to register to vote up to and on Election Day. The law takes effect in 2014 at the earliest. Sounds like the details need to be worked out.

Thanks to Mike Dirnt and the words that reset my thinking. I mean of course I want Billie to get healthy. But I got a bit caught up in my sadness and disappointment w Voodoo.
