The best Italian food that I've had the pleasure of eating is at Mulberry Street Tratoria, hands down. This joint offers the freshest mozzarella cheeze and wonderful sauce. The eggplant parmesan is to die for. The bread! Must I go on?
We enjoy Upper Crust Pizza. I think it's the best in our community.
I agree. Easy on the teeth (thin, moist crust) and interestingly tasty.
Depends on what you're looking for...my vote for Best Pizza is definietly Giuseppi's. Best formal Italian dining goes to Mulberry Street...haven't tried Panini's yet. Anyone been there?
Ryan C. Miano
Who has some authentic pasta sauce, any place have some homemade? I'm originally from St. Louis, and we have an area called "The Hill", where all the Italians settled way back when (including my family).
Needless to say, the Italian food is phenom...

Have to agree w/ Mulberry St.... not only is the food exquisite, but the atmosphere is nice also. Their portions are pretty big - great lunch for the next day!
Although not in Bluffton, but owned by a Blufftonian, in Hardeeville at an old Mcdonalds building is Little Italy....Frocacia made there pizza is excellent and everything there is made fresh
Although not in Bluffton, but owned by a Blufftonian, in Hardeeville at an old Mcdonalds building is Little Italy....Frocacia made there pizza is excellent and everything there is made fresh also they have a weekday buffet that is incredible
Not to mention that Zaggat's has even posted Little Italy's... all ya'll transplanted Yankees ought to know what Zaggat's attention means! I HATE eggplant parmesan - but Timmy made me try his and now I'm a fan! Arthur's bread n dippin oil is a delicacy - and the calamari isn't even breaded until you order it... I have a friend who owned a restaurant in New York City for years, and she and her husband rave about Little Italy's! It's a secret that doesn't deserve to be kept!
Now that's what I'm talking about, I knew these blogs would be good for something:)

The Sultan of Byzantium by Selcuk Altun – review
At its heart, The Sultan of Byzantium is a quest novel. There's a hero with a mysterious heritage, a secret society, and journeys to far-flung locations in order to locate the keys to unlocking a treasure almost beyond belief. The novel doesn't read like any run-of-the-mill pulpy thriller, however, even though it carries a few of those elements and shares more in common with Dan Brown books than Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider.
The story is told in first person, by a narrator who doesn't reveal his given name (which he hates because of his relationship with his father) until well into the book and doesn't reveal his true name until the very end. References to his name are made frequently, though it's usually as the narrator gauges how well a person speaks Turkish when they make an attempt to pronounce his name. Hints are dropped, but for anyone unfamiliar with the Turkish language and culture, I'm not certain those clues would be enough to figure out his name.
One day, he is approached by three men who claim to act on behalf of an international conglomerate. These men explain that he is to be declared the Emperor in Exile of Byzantium. While the title makes the position sound as if he will be nothing more than a ceremonial figurehead, he is quickly reassured that once he passes the trial he will become the acting head of the conglomerate and have billions of dollars at his disposal. He will be come a very wealthy and very powerful man.
The trial is, in essence, a gigantic scavenger hunt. He must go to a series of sites significant for their Byzantine heritage and search for tiny squares of purple metal. Upon finding each of these squares, he is to place them into a box that contains tiny screens that reveal the clue to his next destination. Once he finds all of the tiles, he must then subject himself to an intensive quiz from the men to determine whether he's worthy to become the Emperor in Exile.
These official trials aren't the only challenges he faces. In addition, he will encounter new friends, reluctant informants, love, and treason. Most of these connections, regardless of being help or hindrance, are somehow tied into the wealth of knowledge he gains about Byzantium and its influences on modern culture as well as the web of intrigue he discovers. He is dealing with the kind of people who aren't just patient but capable of playing a long game that stretches over not just years or decades, but centuries.
The narrator isn't an unpleasant man. The voice the author and translators of the book give him is grave and very serious, but he's not smug or self-congratulatory. He may move through the world with confidence, and he's without a doubt highly intelligent, but he does suffer from moments of self-doubt. His quest is fueled more by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to discover more about himself than it is by gaining access to all of the money. He is admirable for his drive and sometimes frustrating for his single-mindedness.
Because the entire story is told from his point of view, some of the other characters seem to be casual afterthoughts. A mention is made here or there, along with a tidbit of description. They're in the story because they attracted his notice, usually for a reason. The people we know best through his eyes are his mother, his father, and the men accompanying him through his trials. Everyone else is there because he needs small pushes of help from time to time to get through to the next stage of the hunt.
The author, Selcuk Altun, inserts himself into the story numerous times. He's like a bad penny, cropping up in the oddest places. The first mention was odd, but made some sense, given the social circles the narrator was traveling in at that point. After the third or fourth one, however, the references started to feel clunky and overdone. I'm not sure if that's because of the translation or if it's because of the writer himself. It gets a little bit jarring, though.
Otherwise, Altun writes beautifully. The flow of the story feels more like rapid-fire poetry or an intricate fever dream than it does a genre novel. Place is evoked not only to set mood but to anchor the characters to the place and time they inhabit and to their purpose. Beauty is celebrated, but the darker, less attractive parts of the setting and of the narrator's nature are pointed out, too.
The plot itself follows a logical path. Situations are set up and tasks are carried out with a sense of strategy that gives the story urgency but ensures that the reader never thinks anyone's decisions are being made upon impulse. Instinct has its place, and that place is to be weighed and factored into a decision without being the sole basis of it. It's a game of international chess with high stakes, and everyone involved knows what kind of game they're expected to be playing.
History plays an enormous role in the book, as does an ancient conspiracy. What we accept as fact when it come to our past was written by the victors. Not every source is to be trusted. Secrets are a huge factor in the story. There are historical and personal secrets that will come to light and affect the outcome of the narrator's quest and, ultimately, his life.
I enjoyed the book, but I have to admit that it took me a while to read it. It wasn't because I found the book truly difficult to read, but because I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss any important details. It's not a quick read, nor is it one that should be read without a reader's full attention on the page. If you miss things, you'll easily end up lost regarding where the narrator is and with whom he's interacting. It was well worth reading and, certainly, well worth reading carefully.
I would recommend The Sultan of Byzantium for any adults who are looking for a satisfying intelligent novel that utilizes spycraft and intrigue without utterly devolving into a ridiculous amount of suspension of disbelief. It's not necessarily fast-paced, but it is well-plotted. There's some violence, but not an enormous amount. Likewise, the narrator has a few interests that are less wholesome than his pursuit of historical knowledge. Again, it's definitely a book for adults, but it's one that I think many will find enjoyable.

Two strong-willed women wield their influence on a shy teenaged boy in this coming-of-age comedy from the United Kingdom. Seventeen-year-old Ben (Rupert Grint) is the son of a soft-spoken vicar (Nicholas Farrell), but it's his mother, Laura (Laura Linney), who rules the household, and she has put Ben cheerfully under her thumb, keeping him busy with a variety of good-will errands for the church and numerous local charity causes.
With summer vacation looming before him, Ben is looking forward to learning to drive, but Laura is more interested in spending time with one of the more charming members of the church staff than helping Ben learn how to operate the family automobile. Wanting to earn some pocket money, Ben starts looking for a part-time job and ends up working for Evie Walton (Julie Walters), an elderly and slightly eccentric actress who needs help keeping her garden in shape. Laura believes Evie isn't an especially good influence on her son, though Ben is happy to find someone who encourages his interest in poetry and the larger world (especially girls).
One day, Evie announces that she needs to ride to Edinburgh, where she is supposed to give a reading as part of the city's massive music and arts festival. While Ben doesn't have his license, he volunteers to take the wheel, and soon he's confronted with various forms of decadence that his mother has frequently warned him to avoid. Driving Lessons received its UK Premiere at the 2006 Edinburgh International Film Festival and it's North American premiere also in 2006 at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Sudheeran for CBI Probe into TP Case
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 26th January 2014 08:54 AM
Last Updated: 26th January 2014 08:54 AM
Senior Congress leader V M Sudheeran joined the band of those demanding a CBI probe to unravel the conspiracy behind T P Chandrasekharan's murder case and bring the conspirators in front of law. Sudheeran wrote to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Friday asserting that a decision on this score should not be prolonged anymore.
He also urged that K K Rema, wife of the slain RMP leader, should not be pushed to an indefinite fast.
"The demand for a CBI probe is getting intensified. It is not fair to delay a decision on the demand. Appropriate measures should be taken for a CBI probe," Sudheeran said in his letter.
Notably, Sudheeran's demand came up after Rema announced the other day that she would go on an indefinite fast from February 3 in front of the Secretariat here, to put pressure on the government for a CBI probe in the case.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, Nov. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Differences in social network size are correlated with changes in gray and white matter of certain areas of the brain as well as changes in brain connectivity, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, held from Nov. 9 to 13 in San Diego.
Maryann P. Noonan, Ph.D., from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and colleagues performed voxel-based morphometry to examine differences in whole brain structural gray matter in 18 subjects based on their self-reported 30-day social network size.
The researchers found that social network size was associated with gray matter changes in the functional contribution of the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to the default mode network. Social network size was also correlated with changes in the underlying white matter physiology and fractional anisotropy of the cingulum bundle, superior longitudinal fasciculus, extreme capsule, and arcuate fasciculus.
"We conclude the increased proficiency in social skills or social network management that presumably permit a larger social network size correlates with gray matter and fractional anisotropy, pointing to an extensive brain network underlying more extensive social networks," Noonan and colleagues write.

(this will be posted several times, with corrections & additions as I
can do them)
the following was written by myself, and *not* a c&p. feel free to
post it anywhere you like
note that Nintendo's Gamecube console has a 'Gekko' and 'Flipper'
chipset from IBM (Gekko CPU) and ATI-NEC (Flipper GPU)........
Although the Flipper was *not* really made by ATI, a company that
splintered off of SGI did, called ArtX. The Flipper and other ArtX-SGI
technologies were purchased when ATI acquired ArtX, almost 5 years ago.
being that the Gamecube was developed, for the most part, in the late
1990s, the technology is 5-7 years old, now. ...Dispite the fact that
Cube has only been on the market for about 3 and half years.
okay moving to the present day (or at least the last 3-4 years in R&D )
as far as Nintendo console architecture:
'Broadway' and 'Hollywood' replace 'Gekko' and 'Flipper'.
or rather, Broadway and Hollywood are the sucessors to Gekko and
'Broadway' is the IBM CPU (multi core? or single core?) for Nintendo's
'Revolution', the next-generation Nintendo console, or system of some
sort, which is the sucessor to Gamecube.
'Hollywood' is the ATI graphics processor for Revolution. no details on
it that I've seen. (obviously fully ATI-developed this time, unlike
with Gamecube's ArtX Flipper)
The Nintendo Revolution is going to be backwards compatible with
Now, this *had* already been announced early last year in the form of
'N5' and 'GC Next' being said officially by Nintendo, to be backwards
compatabile with Gamecube.
However, in recent months, the BC feature went into serious doubt with
'Revolution' there were even reports that Revolution would not be BC
with Gamecube games....but now, thankfully, BC has been re-confirmed,
in the form of, Revolution will be backwards compatable with Gamecube.
Finally, that issue seems to have been put to rest.
Just don't backtread on that Nintendo, like you did with the
Super Famicom / SNES, when you said it would play 8bit Famicom/NES
games, but ripped out-of-the-box compatability out before release.
the ATI 'Hollywood' GPU for N.Revolution probably has a long heritage.
I could try to guess it, but I would probably end up being somewhat
wrong, since I don't know the *exact* & *complete* history of
developements, the techologies, of Nintendo and its 3D-graphics
partners (SGI, ArtX, ATI). I only know of a few small tidbits of
info/fact, that made its away into magazines and onto the internet.
see, Nintendo's relationship with ATI goes all the way back to
Nintendo's relationship with Silicon Graphics in 1993 for Project
Reality and its 'Reality Immersion Technology' which became the 'Ultra
64' and ultimately, the Nintendo64. (and no, even super-expensive SGI
workstations & supercomputers could *not* render T2 or Jurassic Park in
realtime, much less the N64)
Most of, if not all of, the people that worked on N64's Reality
Co-Processor (aka RCP) GPU, left Silicon Graphics in 1997 to from a
company with the specific goal of capturing Nintendo's buisness--to get
the graphics chip contract for N64's sucessor, N2000. That company was
Art-X or ArtX.
ArtX suceeded in beating out other rivals (3Dfx, 3DO Systems, and who
knows who else) for the Nintendo console deal. In 1998 (iirc) Nintendo
announced that it would be working with ArtX on the new console. ArtX
would obviously be doing the graphics, but also, helping Nintendo to
select a CPU-partner, which was in flux at the time. Nintendo was about
to end its relationship MIPS/SGI CPUs.
The new console which had been known as N2000, was later announced as
'Project Dolphin' at E3 1999. ArtX was making a GPU, with help from
NTD, NEC, MoSys and S3, which would actually be the main LSI of the
system and contain the I/O circuitry, the audio processor, north
bridge, among other things. It was called 'Flipper'.
ArtX had been instrumental in getting Nintendo to partner with IBM for
the CPU. The IBM CPU was thus announced (iirc) at E3 1999 as 'Gekko'.
It was a billion dollar deal between IBM and Nintendo and would use
IBM's then-new copper interconnect circuity and other advances in
chip-design. The relationship between Nintendo and IBM today still
seems very strong, hence, the 'Broadway' CPU for Revulution. Broadway
is supposed to be multi-core, but I've seen no actual confirmation if
the Revolution CPU is going to have more than one processing core. I'll
bet it probably will have at least 2 cores, though. maybe 4 cores?
(heh, to top MS's Xenon, next-gen Xbox, which IS confirmed to have a
multi-core CPU (see the news) and is probably tri-core.
After some undisclosed changes to the Dolphin specifications and
hardware configuration, between 1999 and mid 2000, the Dolphin was
revealed as GAMECUBE in August 2000 at Spaceworld in Japan. The
Gamecube itself, with its already weaker specs compared to Dolphin,
went through a few *more* changes to *its* new specifications, before
finally being released in fall 2001. The clockspeed of the IBM Gekko
CPU was boosted from 405 MHz to 485 MHz. however, the Flipper GPU was
downgraded somewhat, from 202.5 MHz to 162 MHz.
Not only that, but the various bandwidths of the entire Gamecube
architecture (main memory, embedded memory) was also lowered in
accordance to the Flipper clock decrease. The memory latency of the
main memory & embedded memory (both 1T-SRAM) also went up slightly,
which means it got *slightly* slower. check the Gamecube spec-changes
from August 2000 to E3 2001 if you do not believe me.

My team needs a little twinkling:
Time to sit Ricky Williams and pick up Benjarvus Green-Ellis? Drop/Trade Favre?
Thanks for the advice.
1 reply , Last at 30 Sep 2010, 3:00pm by tally
Definitely pick up BJGE if he's available. Williams isn't startable most weeks, so you should start digging for options on WW (LT, BJGE, etc.).
Favre: depends on what's out there. He isn't a reliable starter in most leagues, anymore.

Hornstrom was jigging with a quarter-ounce spoon when the
fish struck. Once in hand, the fish measured just over 19 inches with a 15 ½-inch girth. A trip to the meat
department of a local grocery store to have the bass weighed on a certified scale revealed that not
only was the fish big, it was actually the biggest on record for its species in Pennsylvania.
The new record, 3 lbs, 15.7 oz, surpasses the previous white
bass benchmark by a little more than an ounce and a half. David F. Hornstein, also of Meadville, caught
that 3 lb, 14 oz fish - at Conneaut Lake. The state record white bass prior to Hornstein's 1996 catch also
came from Conneaut Lake.
Pennsylvania certifies state records based
on total body weight. Potential record fish must exceed the established mark by at least one ounce,
as weighed on a certified scale. To be considered for state record certification, a fish must be caught
using legal means, in season, from Pennsylvania waters open to the public without charge or fee. Fish
taken from farm ponds, fee-fishing lakes, ponds or streams or in waters restricted to use by club members
or their guests do not qualify. A biologist or Waterways Conservation Officer from the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) must examine the fish. The PFBC is the only entity that can certify
an official state record fish in the Commonwealth.

Doing her best to become a better person, a better friend
To the editor:
Have you ever realized how ugly our society is? Have you ever wished you could live a peaceful, drama-free life? I think that it goes for all of us when I respond to this question with a "yes."
Recently, I've realized the severity of all these things. As a result, I've been doing my best to become a better person, a better friend.
An unknown person once said, "The happiest people do not have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything."
I've heard of many, many people complaining about minor life details, whether it be that you've encountered a deer on your way to work in the morning, or that you aren't satisfied with something. What you don't think about, though, is that there are people fighting for their lives. There are people who are doing all they can to hang on to their last breath.
I see kids walk through the door of school every single day. They can't get more than three steps into the building, which is supposed to be a friendly, learning environment, without getting some stupid, awful label. Whether it's caused by ethnicity, religion, sexual preferences, popularity, intelligence, or any other possible cause, it damages their self-esteem. I had a teacher who once told us that while positive comments make us happy, negative ones stick. They break us down. There is absolutely no need to insult someone for something that they can't control. After all, if it doesn't affect you, why should you care, much less break someone down over it.
As a 13-year-old girl, I wish that there was something, anything, that I could do to help this situation. I've found that I have to change myself before I can try to change others, as well.
You see, this is why I embrace the holiday season. During this time of year, we enjoy the company of others. We love each other for who we are. If we love each other during the holidays, why can't we any other time of year? That one, my dear friends, only you can answer. Keep in mind that the biggest difference begins with the smallest change.

To the editor:
I would like to thank Race Director Heather Bishop and the Humane Society of Columbiana County for having the Fast and Furriest 5K Walk/Run on Nov. 9.

I would also like to thank all the sponsors for their support, it's wonderful to see local business giving back to their community in such a positive way. Also my dog would especially like to thank the two little girls who were in the wind and cold making sure all the runners and their dogs had plenty of water to drink, may God bless them and all the other volunteers who gave up their Saturday morning for us so we could run a race with our dogs.

AEC subcommittee chairman Udom Fuangfung said he would reveal the contents of the investigation to demonstrate there had been no harassment, especially of Thaksin.
He was surprised Thaksin's lawyer Pichit Chuenban opposed the move, saying no party associated with the case would suffer damage because of it. Pichit argued disclosure could be prejudicial to the case.
"There is no law that bans us from publicly revealing the investigation file. [The defence] should welcome the move because it can use the information in court," Udom said.
"I do not understand what they are afraid of or why they fear the truth being revealed,'' he said.
Udom said he would publicly reveal the report after submitting it to prosecutors tomorrow.
Pichit strongly opposed the move because the matter was about to go to court.
"No one can know what the reaction will be if the investigation file is revealed. People may be misled because of onesided information from the AEC.
"If that is the case, the accused will have been prejudiced,'' he said.

Fujifilm FinePix S2800HD Review

I think I'd not buy it.
Good grief! Those sample shots are shockingly bad.
I hope Fuji's recently announced "upgraded" S series cameras, that also have a 14 megapixel sensor, perform better than this.
I'm amazed…just how did they manage to make the image quality so bad?
hi,i had a brief look at this camera,fifnt seem
too impressive,my kodakeasysharez740 is much
better,delivers pretty good pictures,if it were to
have a second digital camera, this would a dslr
plus interchangeable lens plus a decent flash
this would be a kind of upgrade any kind of bat-
teries always need a backup, ii am more for classic cameras like canon nikon line
thanks for showing data on fuji 2800
dimitry, goiania, goias, brazil
Buy FinePix HS20EXR, and you will not loose your money!
I bought the S3200 variant. To rate this camera as 3.5 for photo quality, is to imply that it's above average. That couldn't be further from the truth. At full auto "SP" mode, landscape photo's are over-exposed. Best to use program mode and push the exposure down a few notches when required. Colours though are fine in 'chrome' mode. Vibrant and true to life. Sad thing though is, even though it appears to use the same lens as the HS20, with a steady hand, and even at wide angle, the shots from this camera are a tragedy. Soft edges at best. Blurry left 1/3 of frame at worst. Smudgy looking details on a computer screen is the norm. And it's not just me. Google it. The Nikon L120, even without semi-manual modes (same price or a fraction more in many countries) is a far, far, far, far better choice.
I think the review is very fair on this camera although the images they took were shockingly bad , i myself am a amateur and purchased this camera a few weeks ago from ebay , now i have to say that me being a first time photographer my images with this fuji are a better standard than the competition models images , grab a look an flickr and see what you think , i think this camera is the beans especially with the price tag
My review:
The comments made on the panorama mode is not correct. The camera produces excellent panorama pictures with great resoloution, typically
4896 × 1 248 pixels, and are easy to make without a tripod.
The still photograps are OK, but the first impression is like an inexpensive compact camera like the test says, it's important to learn all the functions in the camera, then you can get some decent pictures, still this is not an DSLR.
Like many compact cameras you can hear the zoom while fiming, however i found the video quality to be better than most compact cameras.
My verdict: An inexpensive all in one camera, with nice video and great panorama mode, picture quality is average, but with nice colors. I bought this as a backup camera to use in situation where i can't or am afraid to damage my DSLR. This cameras are so inexpencive so i must say it's a bargin.
I am a bit disappointed with this item. but I can also learn about the photographer of this item
I received this camera as a gift. I would never have purchased it. The 2800HD is a maddeningly poor camera. I find it beyond slow, with limited manual capabilities, and one that produces poor picture quality. It appears that Fuji spent more time making it look nice than making it work better. Cannot wait to upgrade to a more sophisticated DSLR model that possesses real manual settings, better lenses and image quality and speed.
I have this camera. When ever I try to take pictures on the Macro/Super Macro setting, it shows up perfect before the shutter is pressed, but when looking back at it through the rest of my pictures, every Macro/Super Macro has a very dark tint to it. How can I fix this?
FujiFilm S2980 is the upgraded version of this.
Buy with confidence from http://www.colophotoshop.com
The image quality is variable, sometimes awful, sometimes OK. Don't expect it to be sharp all over the frame, ever. The autofocus is unbelievably slow. But I have managed to get some good pictures out of it. The colours are pleasing to the eye, in my opinion. So it's not all bad. Good thing it's cheap though.
Its on special in South Africa at the moment, at R 1000 (+- US$ 100— at that price I think it may be a good bargain? Obviously Fuji are clearing out all their unsold stocks!!!
For the money your not going to get much better.
The people that complain have to understand this is not a DSLR,It's a Bridge camera.You need to spend a lot more to find something better.
I have been into photography for 50 years and a 'Fuji digital fan' for 10 of those. IMHO I highly rate the quality of the pictures I've taken, my current camera being the S2750. Went out into the park yesterday and having set the camera to only 3 megapixels, small image, Fine quality, I'm blown away by the image crispness, including handheld shots with 18x telephoto c/w image stabilization. As with all my past 10 years pics I still have no complaints about Fuji picture quality. What weren't the reviewers correctly doing to damn the quality? As for cropping etc, isn't that for the professionals with cameras costing 5x as much?
I have this camera, and I loved it at first. but then two weeks ago it stopped working and the camera will turn on but the lens wont come out and a message pops up each time on the screen saying please turn off and then back one. each time I do that same thing as before. Now the camera wont even turn on and Fujiflim wont replace it even though I have a warrenty on it. Buy a cannon instead its so worth it and better camera and photos
Hey Hannah - I suppose you will have ensured the batteries are fully charged. Just a thought!
hey graham!- they batteries are fully charged and ive even gone out to get new ones. I guess im just gonna have to get a new camera
I bought this cam for under £40 today, as a point and click to advertise kittens i have to re-home, all i can say is WOW!! (for the cash i paid), after a bit of tinkering this camera will in the long run be worth the pennies i paid.
I bought this as an interim camera to getting a better DSLR. I hoped the picture quality would be good. I was disappointed. But it worked for the simple advertising I was doing at the time.
Now on to a better DSLR. I'll give this 2980 to my daughter to play with.

Yellowstone National Park is for the largest part situated in the state of Wyoming in the United States and is the first national park in the world. Underneath Yellowstone lies a supervolcano which erupts every 600000 years on average. The last eruption was over 640000 years ago. The national park measures at an area of 900000 hectare and is mainly one large volcanic crater. Resulting in quite some activity like hot springs and geysers.

ABC Shreds Trump's Iraq War And Birther Lies: They Don't "Resemble The Truth At All"

La Opinión reported on a Media Matters study that found that Latinos made up only a small fraction of guests invited on cable news shows to discuss Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel's Mexican heritage. The article featured input from Media Matters Hispanic media researcher Cristina López, who explained that this finding is representative of a larger tendency in the media to marginalize the Latino perspective in their reporting, which could have serious "negative effects" and "perpetuate damaging stereotypes" about Latinos.
The September 21 report focused on a Media Matters quantitative study of guest diversity on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC that found that only 11.5 percent of guests discussing Trump's racist attacks against a Latino judge were Hispanic, while the majority of those discussing the topic -- 88.5 percent -- were non-Hispanic. The article cited previous Media Matters studies that confirmed the media's "broader pattern" of marginalizing Latinos' voices "even when the [Latino] community is attacked" and often relegating them to the single issue of immigration.
Media Matters' Cristina López pointed out that a failure to effectively include the Latino perspective on issues that affect them "can have negative effects on the narratives that come out of news shows" and explained that "without the inclusion of Latino voices in the discussion of topics of the day, including those that most affect them, we run the risk of having imprecise information that perpetuates damaging stereotypes." Translated from the September 21 article (emphasis original):
Latinos are the largest minority in the country and even when the community is attacked, they do not have a voice on cable news networks [to comment] on the electoral bloc's most pressing topics, according to what a "Media Matters" study reported this Wednesday.
In statements to this newspaper, researcher Cristina López explained that the low representation of Latinos "can have negative effects on the narrative that come out of news shows."
"Without the inclusion of Latino voices in the discussion of topics of the day, including those that most affect them, we run the risk of having imprecise information that perpetuates damaging stereotypes" about Hispanics, she said.
For López, it's urgent that TV producers and executives improve the participation of Latinos and other minorities, especially in a hostile environment in which racist attacks have changed the current of the national dialogue.
"Latinos have demonstrated, with campaigns like #AskMeMás, that they are anxious and capable of discussing issues that affect them most and being part of broader conversations. The ball is in the court of the news channels," López stated.
According to Media Matters, the lack of inclusion of Latino voices on national programs is not isolated but rather makes up a part of a broader pattern: after the massacre in a gay club in Orlando (Florida), none of the major cable channels included a significant number of Hispanic guests, despite the fact that 90% of the victims were of Latino origin.
And an analysis of Sunday shows, in English and Spanish, left proof that Latinos are only sought out to comment about immigration issues, ignoring the diversity of opinions about other topics of life nationally.
Although much is spoken about the importance of the Latino vote in this election year, the cable channels "rarely include Hispanics" in their news shows, Media Matters said.

"Where Is The Crime? African American Neighborhoods. Hispanic Neighborhoods."
On September 22, CNN's law enforcement analyst Harry Houck attempted to defend the police shooting of Terence Crutcher, the unarmed black man who was killed in Tulsa, OK, after his car broke down on the road. Houck argued Crutcher was being uncooperative and might have been making a "furtive move" for a weapon in his car. Prior to that appearance, Houck accused critics of the shooting of "playing [the] race card," describing outrage over Crutcher's death as part of "the war on police."
Since being hired as CNN's law enforcement analyst in May 2015, Houck has used his national platform to defend police officers accused of violence and other misconduct by peddling racist tropes about black criminality, demonizing the Black Lives Matter movement, and blaming black victims of police violence.
One month after the death of Freddie Gray -- as cable news networks debated racial bias in the criminal justice system -- CNN hired former New York Police Department Detective Harry Houck as a "law enforcement analyst." During one of his first appearances on the network as a paid analyst, Houck specifically thanked anchor Anderson Cooper for helping get him the job, saying, "This man is responsible for this occurrence."
Houck appeared on CNN 204 times between May 18, 2015, and August 1, 2016. And while he's often invited to discuss crime stories like active shooter situations, Houck is best known for his absurd defenses of police officers accused of mistreating African-Americans. In dozens of segments, Houck has found ways to blame black victims of police violence, deny the existence of racial profiling in law enforcement, and peddle racist tropes about black criminality.
Houck has repeatedly suggested that African-American and Hispanic communities are policed more aggressively than white communities because "they're not behaving." He frequently echoes the racist myth that people of color are more likely to commit crimes, prompting pushback from other CNN guests who have repeatedly had to respond to his race-baiting remarks. During the July 11, 2016, edition of New Day, when asked by a fellow guest if he was suggesting that black people are "prone to criminality," Houck responded, "They are!"
Houck also downplays the reality of racial profiling in the criminal justice system, calling it "something that somebody made up." He regularly dismisses evidence showing unequal treatment for minorities in the criminal justice system, mocking comprehensive studies and academic research showing that African-Americans are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. In Houck's view, African-Americans are targeted by law enforcement because they're the ones committing crime.
On Twitter, Houck is even less subtle about his race baiting. He regularly tweets about the threat posed by "black thugs," decries what he calls "black thug privilage" (sic), and even tweeted a link to a white supremacist website. In July, Houck posted a link to a video from "men's rights" activist Tommy Sotomayor calling on President Obama to "ban niggas."
Houck has also used his CNN platform to blame high-profile African-American victims of police violence, going to absurd lengths to defend police officers while denying the existence of racial bias. Houck consistently finds ways to blame black victims for their mistreatment by police -- in his view, Eric Garner was resisting arrest, Sandra Bland was being "arrogant" and "uncooperative," and Alton Sterling wasn't complying with officers. He defended the police killing of Tamir Rice, saying officers "didn't have a choice" but to shoot the 12-year-old boy. He defended a police officer who grabbed a South Carolina high school student and yanked her from her classroom desk, claiming the student "probably has no respect at home or on the street."
Houck's victim-blaming often leads him to make blatantly false statements about these incidents on national television, like falsely claiming Bland refused to identify herself to police, and falsely claiming an officer informed a pregnant California woman she was being arrested before attempting to arrest her.
Houck has also used his CNN platform to demonize the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Houck has described the movement as part of the progressive "war on police," claiming that "the left does not give a damn about police officers' lives." During the August 30, 2015, edition of CNN Newsroom, Houck compared BLM to hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Houck also blames the murder of police officers on protests against police brutality. After the December 2014 killing of two NYPD police officers, Houck went on CNN and declared, "Two dead police officers, and I guess Al Sharpton got what he wanted."
Houck has also used Twitter to attack BLM, describing it as a "thug group" and a movement to "turn criminals into victims and cops into criminals." On August 15, 2016, Houck retweeted an image calling BLM "the new KKK."
CNN's decision to continue employing Houck has been criticized by the group ColorOfChange, which launched a petition in October 2015 asking CNN to stop hosting him. ColorOfChange criticized Houck's "character assassination" of the black 16-year-old South Carolina student who was thrown from her desk by a police officer, also noting Houck's "blind hero worshiping of the officer."
In July 2016, following Houck's comments about black criminality, ColorOfChange again asked the network to stop inviting him to discuss racial bias in law enforcement, writing:
Racist statements like this drive the attitudes and stereotypes that lead police officers to regularly commit brutal acts of violence that result in Black people like Alton Sterling and Philando Sterling being killed.
We are sick of CNN contributor and ex-NYPD detective Harry Houck's one-man crusade against Black victims of law enforcement violence. Houck's blind support of police abuse and reinforcement of racist stereotypes is dangerous.
The group's petition has garnered over 70,000 signatures, but that hasn't stopped CNN from continuing to employ Houck as the network's "law enforcement analyst."
Media Matters used iQ media and Nexis to search CNN transcripts for the name "Houck" between May 18, 2015 -- Houck's first appearance as a network "law enforcement analyst" -- and August 1, 2016. Reruns and snippets from pre-recorded interviews were excluded. For blocks of ongoing coverage of active shooter situations, segments were counted only when the host would begin by introducing and identifying Houck for the audience.

On Fox & Friends, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continued his defense of stop-and-frisk policing, stating it's "quite unbelievable" that it's not being used in Chicago. Neither Trump nor the hosts evidently realized that the Chicago Police Department already employs the tactic.
Right-wing media have long misrepresented the common American policing practice of stop and frisk, conflating it with New York City's past version of stop and frisk that was not only ineffective but also found to be unconstitutional, due to the racially discriminatory manner in which it was carried out.
In fact, after a federal court in August 2013 struck down New York City's specific application of the practice, the Chicago police superintendent explained that "stop and frisk is a tactic that every department in the country uses" in reporting that the ruling wouldn't necessarily affect police operations in Chicago. Currently, Chicago is trying to bring its stop-and-frisk policies into constitutional compliance as New York City did, as Chicago's ABC7 reported in February.
But in a Fox & Friends interview, both Trump and host Steve Doocy falsely suggested Chicago does not have stop and frisk at all. They tried to walk back Trump's earlier calls for a nationwide application of the unconstitutional New York version, with Trump claiming that he "was really referring to Chicago with stop and frisk." From the September 22 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): I read a report that apparently there, in that black church in Cleveland, you were asked what you would do about black-on-black crime, and you said maybe it's time to bring back stop and frisk. And I saw that you sent out a tweet, "Stop and frisk works. Instead of criticizing New York police chief Ray Kelly, New Yorkers should thank him for keeping New York safe." Why do you think stop and frisk would work?
DONALD TRUMP: Well Ray Kelly did a great job, and New York was not in a Chicago situation, but it was really in trouble. It was in bad shape, crime-wise. And with all the shootings and everything in it, it really, they -- Rudy Giuliani did a great job as mayor, and they really straightened things out with stop and frisk, and it was used further by the next mayor, Bloomberg. Now, they just -- recently, not so recently, but fairly recently they stopped it. But stop and frisk worked. We had tremendous shootings, numbers of shootings. Now Chicago is out of control. I was really referring to Chicago with stop and frisk. They asked me about Chicago and I was talking about stop and frisk for Chicago, where you had 3,000 shootings so far. 3,000 from January 1. Obviously you can't let the system go the way it's going, but I suggested stop and frisk and some people think that's a great idea and some people probably don't like it, but when you have 3,000 people shot and so many people dying, it's worse than some of the places we're hearing about like Afghanistan, you know, the war-torn nations. It's more dangerous.
DOOCY: It does sound, Mr. Trump, like Chicago's going to add I think I read 1,000 new police officers. So you've got more cops on the street, but unless you give them the tools, what are they going to do?
TRUMP: I think Chicago needs stop and frisk. People can criticize me for that or people can say whatever they want, but they asked me about Chicago and I think stop and frisk with good, strong law and order, but you have to do something, can't continue the way it's going.
How it's not being used in Chicago is -- to be honest with you, it's quite unbelievable, and you know the police, the local police, they know who has a gun who shouldn't be having a gun. They understand that.
DOOCY: Sure, stop and frisk for the most part is where you give cops more power to quiz passersby if there is reasonable suspicion.
TRUMP: Absolutely. In New York, it took them -- the numbers were unbelievably changed. I don't mean just a little bit. It was massively changed, and it became a safe city. It went from an unsafe city to a safe city.
Fox News praised Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's call for police departments across the country to engage in a stop-and-frisk policing policy based off of the unconstitutional New York City program. However, the policy is ineffective, unconstitutional and has increased "animosity between minority communities and law enforcement."
CNN law enforcement analyst Harry Houck accused Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of playing the "race card for black votes" following her comments about the police shooting of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, OK, describing the comments as part of "the war on police."
On September 20, Clinton commented on several recent police shootings of black men, including Crutcher, who was unarmed when he was killed. Clinton lamented the shootings, calling Crutcher's death "unbearable" and saying the country must "tackle systemic racism."
Following Clinton's remarks, Houck took to Twitter to accuse her of playing the "race card for black votes":
Houck's comments came shortly before he appeared on the September 22 edition of CNN's New Day to discuss Crutcher's death. During the segment, Houck argued that Crutcher wasn't being compliant with the officer and that he might have been making a "furtive move" for a weapon -- continuing Houck's long history of blaming black victims of police violence:
On Twitter, Houck also attempted to defend the Tulsa officer's decision to shoot Crutcher, writing:
If there was a gun in the car, and he was reaching for it, and the officers waited until they saw it, then an officer might be dead right now. This is why you must comply with officer's commands.
Houck also appeared on Newsmax TV, where he defended the shooting of Crutcher as well as the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, a black man who was killed by police in Charlotte, N.C. "This is a disgusting display of alleged leadership," Houck said of Clinton's comments, adding, "This is all part of the war on police that I always talk about":
Houck has been a constant source of race baiting and police apologism on CNN, repeatedly suggesting that black people are prone to criminality and blaming victims of police brutality for their own mistreatment.
In July 2015, the group ColorOfChange launched a petition asking CNN to "Drop Harry Houck."

To the Editor:
The people we elect should have Washington Township's best interest in mind, not their own agenda.
Keeping taxes down is important, but if we don't maintain the roads, school system and police force, our quality of life will suffer and our property values will drop.
Look all over New Jersey. Once a town becomes rundown, it stays that way because it takes more money to fix it than it does to maintain it. This why I think we need to re-elect Barbara Wallace as mayor.
The Wallaces have been involved in our community for years. When I played in Little League, her husband John was a coach. Mrs. Wallace gave my wife her high school diploma when she was president of our board of education. She has always shown that she will do what is right for the community.
A prime example of this is long-overdue road repairs in several of our neighborhoods. The road conditions have caused numerous vehicle repairs. There are township council members who wanted to ignore this problem, and one of them is running for mayor. Even with this repair program, Wallace has kept our taxes in check.
We cannot maintain a good quality of life if we don't address our problems. In Washington Township, we need a leader who sees a problem and fixes it, not another do-nothing politician who passes the buck because it's easier politically.
Mayor Wallace will continue to provide the kind of responsible leadership we need in these difficult times. I hope Washington Township voters will look past the petty politics of the election race and do what's right for our town by returning her to office.

Several roads throughout northcentral Pennsylvania still are closed due to last week's flooding, but weather in the upcoming week is expected to be mild, and the weekend will bring warmth and sunshine.
The sunny weather will help Lycoming County residents take full advantage of Daylight Savings Time, as clocks "sprang forward" at 2 a.m. Sunday, allowing for an extra hour of daylight in the evenings. But, the effects of the heavy rains that pummelled the area last week are lingering.
As of Sunday, the state Department of Transportation reported three roads closed due to flooding:

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Corey Lowe, of G and J Janitorial Service, washes the windows of Jersey Shore State Bank, 300 Market St., Williamsport, on Sunday. "They have to be done," said his mother, Janice Lowe. Lowe says the service cleans the windows at the bank once a month.
RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Evidence of last week's flooding still lingers in the area with muddy roads, soggy fields and uprooted trees near waterways. These trees in Muncy Creek are tangled around the supports of the Route 405 bridge near Hull's Landing in Muncy.
Route 2012 (Sylvan Dell Road) between Second Avenue in South Williamsport and Old Montgomery Pike Road in Armstrong Township;
Route 3002 (Middle Road) in Limestone Township from Route 880 to Route 44; and
Route 4001 (Little Pine Creek Road) from Route 287 at English Center in Pine Township to Little Pine Camp Area Road in Cummings Township.
Today's temperatures will range between 45 and 50 degrees, with intervals of clouds and sunshine, according to Paul Head, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in State College. Tonight will be "fairly clear and cold," Head said, with lows in the 20s.
Tuesday will start out sunny, with highs in the low 50s.
"We'll see increasing clouds in the afternoon," Head said. "It looks like some rain will be moving in Tuesday night and Wednesday. It could start with a little bit of wet snow or sleet, but little or no accumulation."
Temperatures will dip to the 30s Tuesday night, rising to about 40 degrees Wednesday morning. The rain should taper off Wednesday afternoon, Head said.
Thursday will kick off a stretch of beautiful weather, with clear skies and high temperatures in the 50s or 60s.
Head said Friday comes with a chance of showers but will be "otherwise, a beautiful (March) day, with highs of up to 65 (degrees)."
Saturday and Sunday are expected to be mostly sunny, welcoming in the first day of spring with highs in the high 40s or low 50s.

Visiting the Starbucks Delocator website will give you local coffee store alternatives to your closest Starbucks. It's cute and gimicky.
Why are they targeting Starbucks? Delocator was created as a "defense mechanism for independent business establishments":
Each [Starbucks] store is designed to deliver the authentic coffeehouse experience. The only way to accomplish this and be profitable and competitive is by making all of the stores identical: the same beverages, food, ambient sounds and smells, even the same simulated coffeehouse interior wall treatments. Their products, services and spaces are quantified: eliminating any subjectivity or variance in their business practices, making all things measurable; homogenized: reducing the entire range of experience to one particular form; and commodified: everything is either directly for sale or in the aide of selling. Social interaction is even considered. All employees receive the exact same training for product handling, customer service, and store management, creating a cog-like work force that can be placed anywhere within the system of stores. The regulation of employees and store architecture both set a precedent for customer behavior, all unvarying, compliance-driven, and ultimately, non-social. The standardization of this spatial, social, and physical experience is hostile to the historical culture of the café and is dangerous, ultimately, to democratic principles.

I really like the idea of a delocator and
the mission statement said it all. They
need one of those for Wal-Mart, too.
Ah, too bad the delocator only works for the USA. There are 6 characters in Canadian postal codes and a limit of 5 characters in the delocator search window.
I heard a rather unnerving thing when StarBucks was first setting up shop in Toronto: apparently StarBucks decided on new locations by renting locations across the street from already established popular local coffee bars.
I've always thought that StarBucks coffee was vastly overrated. It's just not strong and rich enough. But then I'm not wild about any coffee except the coffee we make at home… unless, of course, we are standing at a coffee bar somewhere in France or Italy… I've rarely had poor coffee there.
-Elizabeth, foodsnob? who me?
There is now a delocator for Canada. http://www.delocator.ca/

Introduction to DawnWatch
Maher, host of HBO's
Real Time, and great friend to the animals, likes to say, "The
Media is dumber than the people. And that's not easy." Thankfully,
that's not true of all media, or all people. And dumb or smart,
the media are powerful. They affect the way we think. From the media
we get information on what is important, what is hip, what is healthy.
They influence how we spend our money and for whom we vote.
Journalists, editors, writers and directors control what is in
the media. The good news for us is that two variables influence
their choices:
The first is simply their knowledge -- what they are exposed to.
If a health journalist gets hooked on kickboxing, kickboxing will
be on the news that week as the hot new thing.
The second is perceived interest. People in the media want to know
that what they are putting out is going to be popular. Popularity
translates into high circulation or ratings, and thereby into vital
advertising dollars.
I call those factors good news because they put some of the power
back in our hands. A well written letter can broaden someone's knowledge.
Many original notes making the same point will drive it home.
We can easily influence the knowledge of the decision makers.
We can also send strong
signals regarding story popularity. Station managers know
that most people do not write letters to express their opinion of
programming; they vote with their remote controls. Newspaper and
magazine readers vote with their subscriptions. So for every letter
a station or publication receives, it is assumed that a great number
of other people feel the same way but didn't bother to write. I
have heard the number of voices for which they assume each note
speaks estimated at a low of 50 and a high of 500. That is an extraordinary
amplification of one voice.
The DawnWatch website is a base for the news alerts -- a place
you can look to for pointers on various topics. News alerts are
emailed to you, at a rate that averages about one per day, depending
on what is happening in the major media. Each news alert will
cite a story or article that concerns animals (sometimes a story
on health or nutrition) and provide an email link to the media source.
You only have to click a button to dash off a quick note and make
your voice heard - or amplified 50-500 times!
DawnWatch will generally alert you to front page stories in major
papers, or national animal media stories. But the point of DawnWatch
is to encourage activists to stay in friendly contact with the
media. That includes, particularly, your local media, which
DawnWatch may not cover. So please don't rely exclusively on
DawnWatch alerts. Your local station wants to know what you think of
programming. And some local papers, which are widely read,
print close to 100% of letters they receive. DawnWatch is pleased to
help you find the correct address for feedback to your local media,
or to help edit your letters.
Before joining our band of email correspondents, I ask that you
take a look at the page on Email Etiquette.
It provides pointers on effective persuasive techniques and on elevating,
through our communications, the standing of the Animal Advocacy
Remember, the media are incomparably influential but surprisingly
easy to influence. Thank you, on behalf of the animals, for speaking
out, ensuring that the voice of compassion is part of the public
dialogue, and for using the media to amplify your voice.
Yours and the animals',
Karen Dawn

my url of forum are with ID (monsite.com/forum/forum-f1.html) so when I select à forum with the ACP to have the meta robots "noarchive" on this forum it works.
the problem is with my url of topics which are without forum ID because the option virtual folders is OF. my topics url are : monsite.com/forum/sujet-t1.html, so the topics of a noarchive forum are not noarchive.
is it possible, by adding something in phpbb_seo_meta.php :
- Code: Select all
if (!empty($config['seo_meta_noarchive'])) {
$forum_id = isset($_GET['f']) ? max(0, (int) request_var('f', 0)) : 0;
if ($forum_id) {
$forum_ids = @explode(',', preg_replace('`[\s]+`', '', trim($config['seo_meta_noarchive'], ', ')));
if (in_array($forum_id, $forum_ids)) {
$this->meta['robots'] .= (!empty($this->meta['robots']) ? ',' : '') . 'noarchive';
to ensure that the topics in a noarchive forum but with a url without forum ID will be also in noarchive, or the only solution to have noarchive topics for topics in a noarchive forum is to have virtual folders ON so that my topics url are monsite.com/forum/forum-f1/sujet-t1.html ?
(I would perfer not activate virtual folders).
thank you for my answer, and excuse me for my bad english.

I just unthawed some bacon... I am going to have to make these tomorrow. My Hubs loves potatoes and bacon, but I have never made them together for him. Thanks for the recipeReplyDelete
This looks perfect...I adore using my crockpot...love having a meal ready at the end of the day when I'm about ready to drop.ReplyDelete
Supper is my most difficult meal; I'm always exhausted and settle for a PB&J sandwich or cheese & cracker.
Just how did you know that I was looking for a new side dish? Imagine these with BBQ spareribs!?! I read a recipe yesterday for a rub for meat and I plan on trying it tommorrow and grilling the pork.
Favorite piece of clothing - I have white knit legging pants that I have had for nearly ten years. They are awesome and unless they become unwearable I am NOT getting rid of them. They are light weight and thin and feel like you are wearing nearly nothing but your legs don't get cold and they don't bind and or pinch and I can sleep in them and wear them around to house (only) to do chores or watch TV or... My daughter likes them also and it is becoming a battle as to who gets them first.
Love the hand sanitizer sign and want to make one for the restroom at church.
Hope all is well and you are finally rid of what ever your stomache problem was.
I just bought me a new crock pot, and I must try these, thanks for all the wonderful, and delicious recipes you share.ReplyDelete
Wishing you a most blessed and Happy Mother's Day, Lois.

Trust me on this, but BioWare is not going to lose major support over just Mass Effect 3. That is like saying Blizzard is in dire straits for the ruckus about Diablo 3. You have players loving and hating either game, both companies earning money, and both companies have an outstanding track record of producing successful games.
BioWare could spend 1 billion dollars creating Minesweeper: The RPG for all I care, and I would still try their games. It is a bit hard to comprehend, I am sure, but I've been loyal to BioWare since Baldur's Gate and they've NEVER failed me. Yes, there have been some disappointments (Awakening, DA2), but there has never been a BioWare game that has made me so horribly disillusioned that I'd say "I have to stop playing this game, right now. This is awful, I can not continue, even if I haven't finished it". I still found parts about Awakening and DA2 (which are the games I don't like too much out of the ones BioWare made) to be really great, and they worked very well. Those two, while not epic, were still good games (although DA2 was in danger of getting into "mediocre" with its story and reused areas).

Sony tells 'Bathing Bad' producer to stop
Great Face and Body owner: Sony cites unauthorized use of intellectual property
Published 3:03 PM MDT Oct 17, 2013
An Albuquerque business that cashed in on the success of "Breaking Bad" is in hot water with Sony Pictures.
Sony wants Great Face and Body to stop selling bath salts inspired by the show because of unauthorized use of intellectual property, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
One of the businesses owners said a Sony executive tried to shake him down for $250,000. He also said he got approval for his "Bathing Bad" product from Albuquerque studios this past year.

Sneak Attack and the Master Thrower Prestige Class - Does it Work?
Hi Everyone,
I have a player looking at taking the Master Thrower prestige class from Complete Warrior and was wondering upon which special attacks the character's sneak attack would work?
Palm Shot: When using little thrown weapons (dagger, shuriken, darts etc.), a master thrower may throw two of each weapon with a single attack roll. Damage for each weapon is resolved separately, but the master thrower does not applay her strength bonus to either damage roll.
Does the sneak attack damage apply to both damage rolls or just one of them (like manyshot)?
Doubletoss: A master thrower with this ability may, as a standard action, throw two weapons at one or two targets within 30 ft. The character may apply her full strength bonus to each weapon (instead of one-half her strength bonus for the off-hand weapon). The normal penalties for fighting with two weapons apply.
Does the sneak attack damage apply to both damage rolls or just one of them?
Best Regards

In all cases, SA applies (assuming you meet the conditions.)
Manyshot always struck me as a goofy ruling, but I guess the idea is that you can only concentrate on the exact placement of one of the arrows. In any case, sneak attack is not strength bonus, and I don't see anything in the text that invalidates sneak attack.

I would say each palm shot counts as a volley attack and only gets one se of sneak damage since it only gets a single attack roll like many shot
Doubletoss is more like a traditional attack with two attack rolls so a sneak on each

The CW errata indicates that palm throw is a volley attack and only one instance of precision-based damage applies to the attack roll. Bummer, too.

KALAMAZOO — Another flashback from the '90s looks to be comfortable still breaking ground in this century, if you call being hog-tied in your own panoramic 360-degree interactive music video being comfortable.
Craig Wedren fronted Shudder to Think, who came out of the hardcore scene of late '80s Washington, D.C. Based around Werden's unusual — for hardcore punk — vocals, the group is credited as being the roots of emo. But they went in an arty direction, and got near-mainstream attention as the music industry looked for the next Nirvana.
Wedren's Hodgkin's Disease interrupted things, but after going into remission, he began solo work, and got into soundtrack projects for film and TV, from "Reno 911" to "School of Rock."
Now he's wielding his "WAND" (2011, Nerveland Recordings), mixing his rock, electronica and soundtrack work together into a "positive monster," as he told music site eBurban.com.
If you goChris Cornell
with Craig Wedren
What: Acoustic rock from Soundgarden, former Audioslave frontman
When: 8 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Kalamazoo State Theatre, 404 S. Burdick St.
Cost: $39
Contact: 269-345-6500, kazoostate.com
"We Are": craigwedren.com/arewe/index.html
"Crush You": craigwedren.com/crush/index.html
Pitchfork wrote in its 7.6 review of the album, "The man seems to be having an absolute blast here; his mugging, cursing, strutting, cooing and wailing make for the most exhilarating moments on 'WAND.' At his best, Wedren spins incongruous-seeming sounds and gestures into shapely songs, buttressed by smart, lively arrangements."
After writing scores for films, Wedren decided to make a film for his album.
He wrote the scenes, and music video director Tim Nackashi (Gnarls Barkley, OK Go) shot them with a 360-degree camera, resulting in web videos that the viewer can pan around at whim. They're part music video, part first-person video game.
The video for "We Are," a peaceful-sounding tune, has disconcerting images. Look around a sunny beach, and there's Wedren, naked and unconscious in the sand. Look behind you and catch the guys creeping up with ominous metal tubes. Another scene is of a placid sunny field beneath a tree. Look around to see Wedren hanging from the branches and hog-tied, as a woman in white sneaks up with a serrated knife.
"Crush You" has Wedren in tribal gear leading modern primitives in dance. Things flash in and out of view, the interactive viewer wrestles with changing camera angles.
We're all dancing in a circle, we're in a ball pit, we're in a rope tube and Werden's crawling toward us — it's all very hallucinatory and disorienting.
