Randall Robinson to deliver keynote address for Black History Month, Feb. 8
Posted January 31, 2001; 02:43 p.m.
Robinson, founder of TransAfrica and author of "The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks," will present the keynote address for Black History Month activities in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8. A reception will follow at the Third World Center.
Robinson is president of TransAfrica, a Washington, D.C-based advocacy organization dedicated to influencing U.S. policy toward African and Caribbean nations. In "The Debt," published in 1999, he calls for reparations to African-Americans for racism stemming from years of slavery.
The theme for Black History Month is "Social Justice," and Robinson is expected to speak on the role of students and the academy in that process.

June 1, 2007 - Delta, British Columbia - Canadian Autoparts Toyota, Inc. (CAPTIN), a Toyota manufacturing affiliate that engineers and produces aluminum wheels, celebrated the completion of a C$39 million/US$35 million expansion - the company's sixth expansion in 24 years.
The expansion, announced in June 2005, boosts wheel capacity at the facility by nearly 17 percent to about 1.7 million units per year. Cumulative investment at CAPTIN is C$247million/US$223 million.
CAPTIN was incorporated in 1983 by Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE: TM) and was the first manufacturing investment by a Japanese automaker in Canada. The plant produces 42 wheel models for Toyota's vehicles globally, employing approximately 300 team members.
During the ceremony, Toyota Motor Corporation Senior Managing Director Atsushi Niimi said CAPTIN's growth has mirrored Toyota's increasing operations in North America.
"This kind of growth at CAPTIN is not only the result of our growing business in North America. It is the result of team members providing high quality wheels for
the high quality vehicles desired by our customers," Niimi said.
Government officials expressed appreciation.
"This is truly a remarkable world-class facility," said Colin Hansen, B.C.'s Minister of Economic Development. "CAPTIN's recent expansion in Delta demonstrates Toyota's commitment to the province and confidence in our future."
Gary Smallenberg, president of CAPTIN, pointed to the dedication of the plant's team members for the expansion. "We appreciate the confidence Toyota Motor Corporation has shown in us over the years," he said. "The credit needs to go to our team members; this is a result of their challenging spirit and continuous commitment to become a globally competitive producer of aluminum wheels."
Toyota currently has six vehicle-manufacturing plants and seven power train and component plants in North America. Two additional assembly plants are under construction in Woodstock, Ontario, and Tupelo, Mississippi.
Toyota currently produces 11 vehicles in North America, including the Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, Matrix, Sienna, Solara, Sequoia, Tacoma, Tundra and the Lexus RX 350. By 2010, Toyota will have the annual capacity to build approximately 2.2 million cars and trucks, 1.45 million engines and 600,000 automatic transmissions.

180-plus degree panorama at the corner of Park Street and South Campus Drive on the campus of Fort Hays State University. Sheridan Hall is the main administration building at FHSU. Sheridan used to be the main gymnasium on campus and now houses the Beach Schmidt auditorium. Jellison Bridge (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=2095) is at the left of the image and Picken Hall (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=1922) is visible to the right of Sheridan. I was hoping that changing the exposure over South Campus Drive wouldn't be so obvious as it turned out - next time I'll hide it in the trees.

By Dustin Barnes/The Clarion-Ledger
JACKSON — More government agencies are making the smart move to phones, opting to utilize mobile app technology to connect with constituents.
From updating the public on official business to promoting tourism in Mississippi, the broad range of uses for these apps has been noted by state and local officials as a vital tool in staying connected and relevant to residents.
"We are always looking for ways in which we can provide information to the public," said Michael Guest, district attorney for Madison and Rankin counties.
Guest and his office recently launched a mobile app to keep residents up-to-date on what's going on with cases and criminals, he said.
Additional features link the public to the DA's Most Wanted list, the state's sex offender registry and Crimestoppers, Guest added.
State agencies have been exploring the uses of mobile apps, with several launched over the last year.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation launched its traffic app in the fall, said Acey Roberts, an MDOT traffic engineer.
The app allows users to access video through the MDOT camera website, as well as all the other information accessible on the site, said Roberts.
"It's cleaner than with the website," he said of the smartphone app.
The traffic app also uses push notification technology, Roberts said. "It will tell you how close you are as you approach an accident."
The day-to-day utility of such apps are just a portion of what the technology can do for the state. Reaching across state lines, some apps are promoting the state's rich culture to tourists.
True South is an app that connects Mississippians and tourists with 439 of the state's most beloved attractions, said Jennifer Spann, spokeswoman with the Mississippi Development Authority, which launched the program two years ago.
"It's basically to help us promote the hidden treasures in the state," said Spann. "Of course we have way more than 439 attractions around the state, but these are local favorites."
Spann said before the app's launch, Mississippians were interviewed about their favorite attractions such as eateries, things to do and places to see.
Looking ahead, Spann said she would like to build on the app and highlight more attractions and connect tourists and residents with other must-see sites in the state.
Spann said MDA also worked very closely with the Mississippi Blues Commission that runs the Mississippi Blues Trail app.
Features with the blues app allow users to scan the QR codes on existing blues marker signs throughout the state in order to access more information about the featured artists, said Spann.
The app accesses timelines, videos of the artist's music and information on the artist's life, she added. As more markers are set up in the state, that app is updated.
Keeping the state's citizens up-to-date is why the state approved a contract with Mississippi Interactive, LLC in late 2010.
The company — a subsidiary of NIC — provides electronic payment processing for the state, according to a press release on the company's website. Services are funded through transaction fees assessed during online payments to state agencies, and this self-funded model means the eGovernment business is funded without using appropriated taxpayer dollars.
Through a public and private partnership, Mississippi Interactive is tasked with maintaining the state's official website and creating smartphone apps for different agencies, said Deanna Gronlie, general manager of the company.
Included in their work, the company also put out MS.gov, an app that mirrors the function of the official website through offering contact information and services of the state government, said Gronlie.
The app was launched just under a year ago, Gronlie said. Each year the app — along with the state website — is refreshed, she said.
Mississippi Interactive has partnered with other state agencies to develop their apps, said Gronlie. And there are two agencies that are asking for an Android-friendly app.
"On the next update, the apps will be available on any mobile device," said Gronlie. That update is scheduled for May or June.
Guest said his office's app already is available on both major smartphone formats, while other statewide agencies who maintain their own apps have said they are looking at expanding into the Android market.
Meanwhile, costs associated with writing and upkeep on the smartphone apps aren't breaking the bank.
MS.gov and other apps run by Mississippi Interactive are included in the self-funded model. Other agencies are finding ways to operate with minimum to low costs.
"We have a full (information technology) team at MDOT," said Roberts. "They were able to do it all in-house."
Guest said it took his office about six months to plan and perfect its app. The total cost was around $1,200, and that was done by a local company. The final cost includes the creation and upkeep of the app.
The tally, he said, is worth the outcome.
"It is amazing what the younger generation can do with social media," said Guest. "I do believe that — not only with this app but with Facebook and Twitter — this is a great way for the DA's office to get this out to the public.
"Our goal is we continue to be accessible to everyone."

By Charlie Mitchell
OXFORD – Many hoped Paul Harvey would never die. Listening to the commentator's daily radio broadcast from Chicago was a happy habit for legions of Mississippians from right after World War II until 2009 when, at age 90, Harvey's life and career came to its inevitable end.
At his popularity peak, Harvey was on 1,200 radio stations nationwide and another 400 in the Armed Forces Radio Network.
As a journalist, Harvey was impure. That's because he mixed paid advertising right in with his commentaries, making it tough for listeners to know when he was imparting news and when he was selling gizmos. His heartland resonance overcame that. His listeners didn't care.
Harvey's scripts reported something new, usually a current event, and then he would overlay a theme, a traditional value. His themes were pure – respect for the working person, respect for the family, respect for the blessings we receive along life's journey. His "Ode to a Farmer" was used in a Super Bowl ad for a pickup.
Displays of small-mindedness or meanness or arrogance in the news would draw rebukes from Harvey. They would be gentle, but stinging. He liked happy stories, but told sad ones, too.
A consistent Harvey overlay was, "Businesses do not pay taxes."
For months if not years there has been posturing in Washington about how to steer government spending away from its current path – one sure to lead to economic collapse. In recent weeks, the posturing has come down to (1) cut spending (the Republican position) or (2) cut spending and also raise taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations (the Democratic position).
Democrats praise their approach as "balanced."
Harvey, it's safe to say, would trot out a standard theme and explain there's nothing balanced about it. He'd tell us that if taxes are raised on a store that sells bluejeans, the store's owner would have choices. The profit margin could be reduced, operating costs could be saved by firing clerks or the price of jeans could be increased.
In Harvey's analysis, the last alternative – the path of least resistance – would be chosen.
Harvey wasn't a Harvard economist. But he knew what they know: Prices of goods and services must reflect the total of all costs (including taxes) incurred in the creation of the goods and services. All taxes trickle down to the last consumer in the line. A mom buying a carton of milk for her child pays every tax imposed on every step in the process.
Where many modern corporations have not done themselves any favors has been by buying (that's a harsh word, but it applies) loopholes and exemptions from Congress. Inexplicable tax exemptions plus obscene salaries and bonuses for executives of giant conglomerates have earned them the loathing they deserve from the American public.
Indeed, big business is so despised in America that it makes punishing their greed with more taxes more appealing every day. The president says time and again, "Make them pay their fair share." And the crowd says, "Yeah."
Such passion would make it hard for Harvey to be heard. But there's little doubt he would remind us that regardless of what taxes are imposed on the big guys, Joe (and Jane) Paycheck will eventually bear the burden.
So what's the solution?
It might be pretty easy.
Most personal computers and even some phones have special reset buttons. They are marvelous. If a file is deleted or a virus is detected, a few clicks will convince the computer it is an earlier time. The device will "know" only what it knew at that time and not be aware of any changes (or disasters) since that time.
Observers are pretty unanimous that the vast corruption of the IRS code – the special carve-outs (by Democrats and Republicans) that have polluted the process – have been enacted during the past 30 years.
With one vote, Congress could reset – adopt the IRS code as it existed in 1983 without any (or as many) of today's "special" provisions.
That would be simple, which Paul Harvey would like. And it would end a lot of the blather, which the public would like.
America is missing Paul Harvey. His prominence began right after the Greatest Generation had saved democracy all over the planet. His rock solid faith in America and Americans never faded.
Now we have a Congress locked and loaded to send the nation into a death spiral and media folk who exploit rather than explain.
Harvey would remind us of who is in charge, because we seem to have forgotten.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm sure that physics supports better aim with a more vertical path of the rod, for one thing the path of the hand is aligned with the eye and where the hand goes the rod follows. When I take the overhead cert test I will be using a vertical stroke for accuracy tests for sure.
But as an avid sight fisherman I rarely cast with a vertical rod position because it's harder to get as fast of a load into the rod for me with the upright angle in time to make the connection with the cruising fish, not to mention potential collisions with stainless hvy hooks and weighted eyes to right the hook on very shallow flats, etc.
By harder to get a load I mean that when walking around in the water, holding the line in the hands or when casting after one shot to take another, I find it easier and more natural to throw the necessary backcast with an outward angle to get things going to get enough momentum going to put the fly where it needs to be. After years of sight fishing I have become 'accurate enough' with a 45 degree cast and have avoided the vertical position for fishing saltwater.
Accuracy with spey casting is another topic entirely. To use a very vertical path you usually need to set the anchor closer, thus you would use a shorter line and probably more of a Scandinavian technique. For most of my fishing I prefer a longer line and traditional technique, and I am finding that you can get pretty accurate coming off the anchor placed a rod length away and to the front just by paying close attention to the angle of aim and having a smooth stroke to the correct release point for the target.
When two-handed overhead casting it's quite a bit easier to use a (near) vertical path of the rod and you can create a tremendous amount of power for accuracy at distance with a little practice.
Interesting discussion!
"I tend to aim a bit better when the cast is overhead..."
Same with me.
One of the things that I don't see enough people doing is watching their line during the cast. They have no concept of what's going on with the line and rarely form tight loops or make very effective casts to fish that are further out than they typically can reach, and they don't really have a feel for the line loading the rod. I think that actually looking at the back cast, at least from time to time and whenever you change patterns to one that is much more/less wind resistant to the one you've been fishing (unsuccessfully :hehe: ) for the last two-hours, or whenever the wind changes direction and/or strength significantly, can really help maximize casting efficiency.
I'm guilty of overpowering my forward cast from time to time, evident when I relax and unload the line to the same distance that I previously attained by trying to launch it to the moon.
As an aside, I seem to have fewer problems with my cast when I'm casting side-armed; I've always been that way. Casting directly overhead, or even a few degrees off, just isn't as effective for me. I'm not sure if it's a more natural motion for me than overhead casting, it just feels better and casts farther.
I will comment on my faults:
1. not letting backcast straighten
2. i get a wobble in the line on the forward cast.'
3. not a tight enough loop
4. tails
I've been fly fishing for 12 years and just recently decided to work on my casting since i never had a need for distance.
Once I started to learn about good casting, my casting has gone to hell. I used to cast a good distance with my old 8 wt, now i have problems with 50 ft. on a new, good rod.
There are a couple things I can offer, passed on to me by the wonderful casters I have known or things I've cooked up myself.
1) push your thumb in the direction you want the line to go. keep it on top, not to the left or right - but right up on top of the hand as you finish the cast. This also helps control tailing loops.
2) practice keeping the hand in plane by standing next to the wall and rotating the arm like a windmill an inch or two off the wall a few times, then make casting motions where your knuckles are but an inch or two away and equidistant the whole time, keeping your thumb on top so you can point it at the target in the end.
3) throw a fly line without a rod for a while. Nothing makes you straighten your stroke like a 10-15ft length of flyline cast with your bare hand. For a real eye-opener, add a haul on the backcast, and forward cast if you can. The backcast haul is easy, but my point is check out the impact that move has on the line speed.
4) Look at your hand when you finish the cast. Do you see your fingernails? You shouldn't unless you turned your hand in a palm up vector during the cast.
5) Cast a short line, about 25-30 ft, perfectly straight using the absolute minimum energy possible that will still carry the loop. Then add line, keeping things perfectly straight as you add only the minimum energy. Then put the whole head out there, and keep things going perfectly straight. Finally, drift back a little and accelerate a little quicker on the forward stroke, hitting it mostly at the end. That should reach about as far as you could ever reach with more effort and less straight-line efficiency. Try to throw the other half of the loop - the half past the wedge and attached to the fly - like a javelin through the air, straight fast and true.
Hope these help.
Here is a frustrating problem that I often encounter in my casting:
My cast hooks to the left instead of going straight out (I'm right handed). In the worst instances the leader will end up 90 deg. to the line. I try to keep rod motion in a straight path as best I can, but that doesn't seem to help. There seems to be too much kinetic energy in the cast which ends up dissipating itself by turning left. To try to stop it I will sometimes place my right foot forward instead of my left. This reduces upper body rotation making the cast somewhat straighter, but its not the total answer.
Any ideas?
My Mistake...
when referring to a lazy "S" configuration of the flyline on both the back and forward stroke. In fact, before the flyline straightens out on the backcast, it does look like a lazy "S." You are correct on the forward cast configuration appearing to be a sideways "u."
An excellent aid to depict flyline form and to commit to muscle memory is your "boa" or the Fly-O sold by Joan Wulff.
This is a welcome addition to the forum and not readily available elsewhere.
Juro, good Job!
Great point about watching the backcast. I often start a newbie off by doing side to side "pendulum" motions just to get the accelerate/stop cadence down. But you don't want to do it for long to avoid muscle memory.
For increased visibility of the backcast, an open stance with the opposite foot forward also helps aid the view.
Change of color is being adopted by more line manufacturers in the seasons to come, thankfully! This includes Rio, Wulff, Airflo for starters that I know of, some of whom already had it even for floating and intermediate lines.
I agree that on overhead casting, allot of people will drift the rod forward prior to making the forward cast. My cure for this has always been to close my stance. Just like a batter can close his stance. With the closed stance it is easy to look over your shoulder and see what the rod is doing. for those that want to learn to drift the rod farther to the rear for a longer stroke this is an easy way to learn to do it.
But my biggest bug a boo is trying to keep to much line in the air. I have a habit of shooting line on my back cast and sometimes trying to get that extra foot I put to much in the air and everything turns do do. Thats one thing I like about the multi colored lines. When I see the wrong color at the tip I know I am in trouble.
This one took me back 50 years!!
As timing/distance improved then you could drop the paper as you had to move the arm forward and back for double hauling, etc.
Solo -
Thanks for the explanation, I see your point clearly!
Fred -
Drift backward after the release of line into the backcast is good... I think what people are saying is that drift forward before the forward stroke is bad. At least that's what I am saying.
If the forearm stops vertically and the wrist snaps to 2pm, then the arm is not positioned to make a big stroke forward. The drift back increases the stroke length for the forward stroke, which increases load in the rod, which increases power in the loop, etc - so to your point the drift back after the stop on the backcast is definitely a good way of increasing distance provided the travel forward keeps the tip of the rod in the same line 180 to the back cast and has a gradual acceleration to a snapping stop in front.
I've learned the hard way (repeat hard way!) that hitting the power too early in the forward stroke -and/or- having any kind of deviation from the straight path results in tailing loops, twohanded or singlehanded.
Simms -
Great description! Just a bit of clarification - what is the "lazy S"? I see a "C" or sideways "U".
Thumbs up Sean
The few people I have taught to cast I have them visualize punching their thumb (assuming you cast with your thumb on top of the cork) towards the sky when stopping the rod on the backcast. This seems to help get them to stop the rod high.
I also like to get beginners to spend a lot of time just practicing the backcast and nothing else. This it what I spend the majority of my time on when I am practicing and it has really helped improve my distance. When I first started casting I had no idea how important the backcast is to being a successful caster. Every newbie should have this point driven home before they even pick up a rod.
Some science might help
Most adults have an aversion to passive learning situations and a penchant for active or hands-on learning experiences. But, a little theory on flycasting might be helpful in order to conceptualize the connectivity between the flyline, rod and line/rod hands before the "hands on."
This is even helpful to intermediate casters:
!. The flyrod is a flexible lever or spring that loads and unloads on both the back and forward strokes. If a definite stop does not occur at the end of the stroke (both back and forward casts) then the energy developed in bending this flexible lever is inefficiently dissipated.
2. The flyline is the weighted mass that loads the rod. It travels from the tip of the rod in a lazy "S" configuration on both the back and forward stroke. The fly attached via the leader to the flyline merely goes along for the ride.
3. The rod hand is an extension of the rod. As the fulcrum to the rod, a little arm/wrist movement translates to feet at the end of the rod.
4. The line hand plays an equally important role. It is the tensioning device on the flyline for controlling the loading and unloading of the rod.
Once those principles are understood, then the art of flycasting can begin.
Tailing loops bug the hell out of me. They seem to often result from trying to hard on the final forward cast. I know pretty much why they happen, just can't seem to break out of the mode sometimes.
As far as clocks and drift go, from what I've heard...
Other than trying to get someone off the ground with casting I think Lefty's got it right. There ain't no clocks in flyfishing. The stopping points are to be abrupt, to unload the rod, preceded with the smooth acceleration of the rod, to load the rod. At the risk of mis-representing Roberts, for distance casting, rod drift, after unloading on the backcast, is a means of providing a longer stroke through which to accelerate and more deeply load the rod. So I'm not sure why drift is nessacerily a problem.

Shares of Twitter (TWTR) are down $5.55, or almost 8%, at $67.76, reversing weeks of one-day jumps, after Macquarie Equities Research's Ben Schachter today cut his rating to Underperform from Neutral, and reiterating a $46 price target, in what he says must be "the shortest downgrade note you've ever read" because he has not that much to say other than that the stock's amazing climb is not supported by any change in fundamentals.
"We continue to believe that Twitter as a company has a bright future and many opportunities ahead," writes Schachter.
"However, as a stock, we believe nothing has changed over the last 15 days to justify the rise in valuation."
In fact, Schachter has more specific points to make. For one, Twitter had a small syndicate of banks at IPO, and estimates by the vast majority of sell-side analysts covering remain are well above the underwriters' own estimates for this year despite the non-syndicate banks "receiving no guidance or speaking in any real detail with management." Estimates are 30% lower among the syndicate than what the Street is currently projecting for 2014's numbers.
Twitter also will have to staff up to take advantage of the many opportunities in front of it, with only 5% of Google's (GOOG) headcount, and half the personnel Facebook (FB) has.
"Finally, we note that because of TWTR's run and rules around price targets, we expect many other analysts will quickly have to either justify raising targets (based on little new information) or downgrade."
For those of you playing at home, here's Schachter's portrait of the disparity in revenue estimates between the Street and the syndicate:

Okay, everybody,....What I would like to do is have all the teams report in this thread as to how many of their team members have reported in,....or how many no-shows each team has. I am still not certain that some of the no-shows won't show up somewhere along the way, but since we don't know for sure, we are going to have to try to get the teams balanced before too long.
In the next week, I will assign new team members to those teams that are short,...starting with the ones that are short the most members and trying to get things balanced again. We will keep working on placing new members that show up until we have the same number of team members on each team. Hopefully, by some miracle, we will be able to get everybody who wants to be in the contest on a team, but that remains to be seen.
In the meantime, teams should continue to try to contact whoever has not reported in and hope they show up.
Soooo,....please report here as to who is still missing on each team,....and/or if all of your team has reported in.

There is absolutely no way I would buy a car with those doors. While our main dog transport is an SUV with crates in the back, when we chose our other vehicle we ruled out anything with 2 doors just because a dog may have to at times ride in the car. Our dogs are all trained to wait while the back door is opened but why risk a break.

So I do not want my car door going underneath the vehicle for several reasons. First when raining I try to get in or out and close the door quckly to avoid getting the inside of the car wet. I do not wanna add another mechanized system to a vehicle that could and will break at some point. If it just rolls underneath i do not want road grime on my inside door panel. You can slam the door if someone is trying to get it( I would guess it has a stop like an elevator door or garage door if somethis in the way it wont close ). And last the repair bill in case of an accident.
But it does look slightly cool.

text: Labor groups have accused a Winslow-based aluminum trailer manufacturer of illegally firing employees for trying to unionize. Matt Schlobohm, executive director of the Maine AFL-CIO, says five employees at Alcom Inc. have been fired this month in connection with efforts to form a union to negotiate better pay, benefits and working conditions. Schlobohm said the firings violate the federal National Labor Relations Act, under which it is illegal to retaliate against employees seeking to unionize. Alcom President Trapper Clark denies the accusations. He tells the Kennebec Journal, he supports the right of workers to unionize and no one has been fired for exercising that right. He called the allegations "false" and "extremely unfortunate." He says the company just improved health insurance options. The company has 185 workers in Maine.

Rick Nielsen, Earl Slick and Jack Douglas Discuss the Recording of John Lennon's Final Album, 'Double Fantasy'
From the GW archive: This feature originally appeared in the Holiday 2010 issue of Guitar World:
In this Guitar World exclusive, session guitarists Rick Nielsen and Earl Slick and producer Jack Douglas discuss the stories and sounds behind John Lennon's final album.
I thought long and hard about this," says producer Jack Douglas. "I asked myself, 'Am I selling John out?' " Douglas is talking about his 2010 stripped-down remix of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1980 album, Double Fantasy.
The disc is part of the massive rollout of reissued Lennon solo material that EMI recently prepared to commemorate what would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday on October 9, 2010, and the 30th anniversary of his death on December 8, 1980.
Double Fantasy was the last album Lennon released in his lifetime. It hit the streets about a month before his murder, a grim chronological juxtaposition that has always lent greater poignancy to the album's songs. Double Fantasy was meant to be Lennon's "comeback" album, his return to the music business and public life after five years of retirement during which he had focused on the simple joys of domesticity and raising his son, Sean.
Instead, the album became Lennon's farewell to a vast and adoring fan base, many of whom had admired him since the earliest days of Beatlemania.
It was Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, who asked Douglas to revisit Double Fantasy on the occasion of last year's anniversaries. "I got a call from her office asking if I'd be interested in doing something with Double Fantasy, not really knowing what," says the producer. "I said yes. It shouldn't be anybody else. I produced it. I pretty much knew where everything was on the master tapes."
This left Douglas to decide what could or should be done with Lennon's original masters. "I realized it couldn't be an 'unplugged' album," he says. "If you unplugged all the electric instruments, there wouldn't be anything left. And John's original rough demos for the album were already in circulation, either illegally as bootlegs or legally in a box set [1998's John Lennon Anthology]. So I thought the best thing to do was break it down to the original rhythm section that we recorded live in the studio, and just discard a lot of the overdubs and production.
"While the album holds up well, I thought it sounded like an Eighties production. And John was insecure about his vocals throughout his career, but particularly in this case, where he was coming back after a long time out of circulation. So we had buried his vocals in the mix, double-tracked them, and I put a bunch of slap echo and reverb on them. But I realized that it would be really compelling to bring his vocals really up front—and Yoko's too, although to a slightly lesser extent—so you really hear the emotion in John's voice and feel what he was singing about. So far, people who have heard the mixes are stunned by how much you feel like you're right in the room with him."
But is this what Lennon would have wanted? That was the question Douglas struggled with. Was he indeed selling John out? In the end, the producer decided he wasn't. "I went back to John's early solo work, when he first left the Beatles, the Plastic Ono Band stuff. And he didn't mind pulling down his pants and being right up front at that point. That was because he was confident then, whereas he was just a little insecure when he did Double Fantasy, because he'd been away for a while. But in fact his voice was fantastic on that album, although I couldn't convince him of that at the time. And now you get to hear it."
So Douglas found himself returning to tracks he'd recorded 30 years ago. But by an eerie coincidence, he found himself transferring the original analog multitrack masters into the digital domain in the very same room where he'd last worked with Lennon, on the very last night of his life, completing a recording of Yoko's song "Walking on Thin Ice." In 1980, that 10th-floor room at 321 W. 44th St. in Manhattan had been part of the Record Plant. Today, it's a Sony transfer facility.
"They called me, and said, 'We want to tell you something, Mr. Douglas. This is really strange. The very room where we do the transfers is rumored to be the last room you and John worked in the night he was assassinated.' So in fact I was going to start this project in the very same room where I left it 30 years ago. The room was the same, and it was completely by accident."
But, as a longtime believer in karma, astrology and numerology, Yoko Ono might contend that such occurrences are no accidents. "I didn't even invite Yoko to these transfers," Douglas says. "I thought that would be too upsetting for her. That was John's last elevator ride that he took downstairs. It was all just way too much. And in fact, in the two weeks that we spent doing the transfers, it felt like John was a ghost in the room with me. It was very disturbing."

Alright guys, we're gonna hang out here for a couple days while I do a detailed check of everyone's characters to make sure there are no mistakes. Also, if you guys want to connect your characters feel free. The more connected the players are the better. I'd recommend coordinating spell selection and skill selections now that you know who you're playing with. You can change your character up until the point we start playing.
|B'yelka Morfaine
Sitting in the dingy tavern in Bladswell did not suit her well at all. The carriage ride from Caliphas had been cold and drafty the whole way,
and she was trying to relax, not listen to the driveling innkeeper.
The man with the mouth only half filled with teeth continued, "And you will never geuss why they even made Ravengro! No, you'd never geuss that they'd made it a prison hole for the worst of the worst!"
A prison town! The only voice there will be screams, I am sure. B'yelka thought about how this country was growing more and more unpleasant by the minute. Her thoughts were interrupted by the barkeep's voice.
[b]M'lady, if'n ya need more infermation." His hand fairly twitched for the silver he supposed was coming his way.
"No, you have told me quite enough about Ravengro" And your breath makes it so much more... visceral. The young lady smoothed the rich dark fabric of her skirt and asked in a very sweet voice, "Are there any other travellers here in the inn headed to Ravengro?"
"Aye, m'Lady if'n I find out anything, I will let you know right off!" The pudgy man shuffled away, presumably to refill her wine.
B'yelka surveyed the room and frowned, Is this Ustalav? I should have stayed in Caliphas if anything. How dismal... Regardless of how she felt, she knew to make a strong impression. Sitting up straight she practiced her smile. A hard thing this is becoming...
|DM Jelani
I'd prefer to save in-character stuff for gameplay, for expediencies' sake. Great RP though :)
Edit:Not seeing any mistakes in B'Yelka except that you forgot the last few words of your Chance Savior trait. I know that our Witch has the Slumber hex with a good DC, so you may want to select a spell other than Sleep. Up to you.
|DM Jelani
|B'yelka Morfaine
Skill summary:
Acrobatics +6; Diplomacy +8; Intimidate +8; Know-Nobles +5; Perception +4; Perform-Act +10; Perform-Sing +11; Spellcraft +5; UMD +8
(At level 2, Versatile Performance will kick in and her Bluff and Sense Motive will be the same as her Perform-Sing)
Daze, Detect Magic, Light, Resistance, Charm Person, Chord of Shards (dropped Sleep per DM recommendation)
Weapons and Tactics:
Scourge: Stand behind the big guy and try to pull legs out from under bad guys. She is not good at it, but as she also doesn't wear armor, she is not planning on getting up close and personal with anyone. She has 8 rounds of Bard Performance per day and Lingering Performance to make it seem like a lot more than that.
Furture plans:
B'yelka will be staying pure Bard; she will get better and better at party support. Her spells will get more diversity but for now, she has what she has. Expect Blistering Invective in the near future.
Some info to help any tie-ins: B'yelka is a Chelish Diva that has been forced to flee her home town due to 'contract disputes'. She could really use a bodyguard, or at least a travel companion to keep the weirdos at bay!
(Sorry, Jelani!)
|DM Jelani
If you guys haven't already read Doomed Hero's Guice to PBP please do. That's basically the format I prefer.
In combat post something like this is fine:
Round XX
AC:(if different from normal)
(Any ongoing buffs or effects)
Sir Fallow strokes the goose reassuringly.
Move action 5' to square F13
Standard action, stroke goose.
Edit:No need to apologize B'Yelka :)
|Janos Ardeal
Great to be in the party! I see a few holdovers on Janos' sheet that I will correct soon.
Overall, Janos will be your undead tracker and killer. He has Witch as his favored class from his background but I don't intend on ever taking a level in it. What it does do is allow him to use both Witch and Ranger spell items.
Looks like we have a well balanced group. With the Witch and Alchemist, we have arcane well covered and between a Bard, Ranger and Inquistor we can do the healing thing fairly well. We don't have a heavy armor person, but Janos can fill the role decently. We just have to kill things rather than let them hang around. And we have some very skillful classes so that should hardly be a problem.
Janos may start off initially paranoid gIven his past, but expect him to become much more trusting after we survive a scrape together.
|DM Jelani
|Anton Klasnic
Hi everyone! Really pleased to get selected for this one, CC has been of interest to me for a good while now.
As for Anton, I will go over everything with a fine tooth comb later today, possibly reallocate one or two skill points for example. I am planning on maxing out most of the social skills however. As a follower of Desna, Anton has walked halfway around the region already and tried to make a few friends and contacts along the way. I see his primary roles as a party face alongside B'yelka and ranged support as I am building him as a full archer using judgements and bane to keep pace with the full BAB classes. Secondly, I will happily use my spells, teamwork feats and wands to offer healing and buffing.
Since we are in the discussion thread though... As a full archer type character is it possible to make the heavy repeating crossbow worth it? There are numerous threads on this and my gut feeling without 3rd party or 3.5 material is no.
|Anton Klasnic
Strange. Without replaying the whole thing, I was essentially saying thanks for picking me and that I'll make small adjustments to Anton to align skills and such.
I also posted a question as to whether people believe the heavy repeating crossbow is worth it compared to a comp. Longbow. My opinion is currently no.
|DM Jelani
|Tibideau Maroon LeClerc
|Anton Klasnic
Ok, all done. Taken the Preacher archetype as teamwork feats are fairy redundant for an archer. Altered my ability points a little as well.
I'll keep my point in diplomacy as it fits my history but B'yelka is likely going to be far better at it than me going forward so I may concentrate on intimidate and we'll go good cop, bad cop.
look forward to playing with you guys
|Janos Ardeal
Tibideau, not sure how much you have played, especially with a Witch, but I thought I would give you a heads up. I played a Witch in a RL campaign and while I absolutely love the class, undead were the most frustrating encounters for me. Lots of a Witch's abilities don't work on undead as they are mindless. I don't want to tell you how to play or discourage you because I think you've made good choices and I like the background but I did want to give you a heads up about that. While I would normally say just embrace it and let us deal with the undead, in Carrion Crown it might come up often so make sure you have a plan if thing are immune. Misfortune is probably a great place to start so you already have that. Again, just sharing my experience.
|Drosil the Grey
Thanks for selecting me - this sounds like a lot of fun. If anyone has any suggestions on changes I might make to the character, feel free to suggest them - this represents a lot of firsts for me.
|Dantrian Almaeus
All right! Thanks for drafting me!
As for in combat posting, I normally include a spoiler like the one below at the end of my posts - would that suit you Jelani? I can certainly pull the AC and HP out of it and put them in the Round Header if that's your preference.
Hero Points used: 0/1
Bombs used: 0/4
Prepared 1st Level Extracts (1+1): enlarge person [ ], open [ ]
-Ongoing Effects-
As far as party roll is concerned, I figure Dantrian to probably be in the front more often than not. His mutagen makes him fairly flexible in this regard though. Once he gets claws and a bite attack, he'll definitely favor melee whenever his mutagen is in effect.
Should we find any splash weapons, especially holy water for when we inevitably meet some grumpy undead, Dantrian will be especially good with that kind of weapon. He already has 4 bombs per day as well as some alchemist's fire and acid flasks. I'll do my best not to splash any of you =P
Dantrian starts out with Brew Potion, so I can make CLW potions for us on the cheap if we get some free days early on and we have the gps.
I'm about to head out for the day but I'll take a look at all the other aliases when I get home this evening. Thanks again!
|Anton Klasnic
Hey Dantarian. If you're building you're alchemist as a frontliner, have you considered the vivisectionist archetype that gives you sneak attack progression instead of bombs? I'm playing an alchemist with this build focussing on feral mutagens in another game and he's doing really well so far. Just a thought.
|DM Jelani
|B'yelka Morfaine
I liked Anton's name/description summary, so I stole it. No, you can't have it back. :p
Doing some reading I am thinking the party looks like it will mesh well; there are subtle connections between the characters. For example Tib's noble background fits with B'yelka's; a preacher of Desna traveling with a woman that is going to be looking for a direction in life... Looks great so far!
Dantarian, how likely do you think that we know each other, or are at least traveling together? After all, we are both Chelish. Does anyone see any other direct connections for party members?
Also I was thinking of swapping Lingering Performance for Weapon Finesse so I can be more directly productive in a fight. Any thoughts?
|Drosil the Grey
Skills are detailed in my alias crunch, but suffice to say that Drosil is set up to be a scout when needed (stealth, darkvision, etc.), is not completely useless in social situations (not quite as good as B'yelka, but passable), and will of course be equipped to overcome any locks and traps we come across.
Being a fetchling, Drosil is used to prejudice causing a lot of tension in the people around him, so he generally keeps mostly to himself. After the group has been together for a while, though, I'd imagine he'll loosen up a bit.
In general, Drosil will be keeping to the shadows so that he's only a Stealth check away from being able to land a sneak attack. I fully expect that he'll be on the front lines, perhaps after a ranged sneak attack opener, using acrobatics for favorable positioning (flanking for additional sneak attack damage, etc.) when it's practical.
@B'yelka: If you plan on concentrating on singing and spells (as evidenced by your Str & AC), I'd say stick with Lingering Performance - no sense in getting in harm's way unnecessarily, and you can be more frugal with your performance rounds per day, if necessary - perform one round, stop for two, repeat as needed. The only caveat to that would be that, if your scorpion whip is finesse-able, you could get Weapon Finesse and attack from behind the nearest front-liner while continuing to perform as a free action.
|B'yelka Morfaine
|Drosil the Grey
Drosil, that was exactly my intent... I am just debating taking Finesse now, or at 3rd. :)
If you're going to get Weapon Finesse anyway, then I'd say go ahead and take it now - you don't have a ton of spells at the moment, so you'll likely be using your whip quite a bit. - EDIT: Jelani's suggestion below is, I think, the best compromise.
|DM Jelani
"Female Human (Chelaxian) Bard 1 | HP 9 | AC 12 FF 10 T12 | Saves +1/+4/+2 | Init + 4 | Percep +4"
Putting something like this in the Gender line or your alias is very helpful for me (and you). Please everyone do that.
In general, Drosil will be keeping to the shadows so that he's only a Stealth check away from being able to land a sneak attack. I fully expect that he'll be on the front lines, perhaps after a ranged sneak attack opener, using acrobatics for favorable positioning (flanking for additional sneak attack damage, etc.) when it's practical.
Just so you know, I use a strict RAW interpretation of the stealth rules. Which means you can't just go rolling stealth willy-nilly and expect to be hidden. You need cover or concealment for stealth to hide you from sight. Other than that it just makes you quiet. In other words, if you want to hide, ask me first if there is somewhere to hide.
Edit:Though with your fetchling racial trait it shouldn't be too bad.
B'Yelka - Why not take Weapon Finesse and Lingering Performance at level one, and then take Prodigy at level 3? You already have a really good Perform check without the +2, the low DCs for the first two levels shouldn't be too difficult for her.
|Dantrian Almaeus
RE: Vivisectionist - I have looked at it before, but I don't believe my eventual levels in Master Chymist would continue the SA progression. I'd basically have 1/2 powered SA and 1/2 powered crappy bombs since Master Chymist would be improving a class feature I would no longer technically have. Even if that's not the case, I think I still prefer the versatility the bombs would afford.
RE: Lingering Performance vs Weapon Finesse - at levels 1-3, normally I would suggest taking lingering performance as I think you'd get more mileage out of it, but in this case we're talking about shifting you from a penalty to hit (due to the 8 strength) to a bonus. I'd say go with weapon finesse at this stage in light of that. EDIT - Jelani's suggestion is even better =)
@Janos - are you planning on multiclassing into witch? I ask because it's listed at the top of your character sheet as your favored class. It makes loads of sense with his backstory since he was raised by one, but I was just curious if that's intentional or perhaps a copy/paste error. =)
@B'yelka - do you want us to both already be familiar with one another or do you think it'd be more fun if we had encountered one another before but only one of us remembered it? Then again, Dantrian's accident was nearly a decade ago - if they'd met before hand B'yelka would have only been 8 years old at the most. Would her parents have perhaps paid for a tutor in her youth? I kind of like that idea actually. Whatcha think?

I just wanted to confirm - if I'm keeping to the shadows (dim light or darker), that would provide concealment (50% for both, in Drosil's case, from Shadow Blending) from anyone without darkvision, correct? If that's the case, then would a Stealth check would be warranted, or do I need to have something to hide behind? Not trying to be a pain, just want to make sure I understand so I don't slow things down later.

His half-elf alternate racial trait lets him use spell trigger items as if he were a first level witch. That's the reasoning.
Edit:Drosil - No, you're right. I edited the above post after I noticed that.
|DM Jelani
Ah another thing. This game tracks something called Trust Points. It's one score for the whole party, starting at 20. It will be modified by your in-game actions. If it should reach 0, you will be run out of town by an angry torch bearing mob, and will have essentially 'lost' the campaign. Higher numbers hold other benefits.
|Drosil the Grey
@Anton - if you're willing, I could easily update Drosil's backstory to have Lorrimor take him to Magnimar when he found him on the streets - justification is easy, in that he wouldn't have wanted Drosil to grow up amidst the prejudices that stranded him without his own kind.
I'm thinking they could have met on the streets (or in the orphanage, perhaps) and become friends, grown up together, getting into mischief, doing those things boys do. Just looking at your stats, I'm thinking you could have provided some wisdom for keeping me out of trouble, and I could have talked our way out of any sticky situations we found ourselves in...
|Tibideau Maroon LeClerc
Thanks for the tips Janos. I've played a wizard IRL but not a witch, and I was enchantment focused so I was definitely quite frustrated with undead. I am planning to take Cackle at level 2 to make Misfortune more powerful. I'm also going to prepare Summon Monster a lot to fight undead, as well as having a light crossbow to waste those bastards. I will get my gear listed on my profile shortly.
@B'yelka: I'm sure Tibideau would have a conniption upon meeting an opera star, and they would have similar tastes based on their upbringings.
|Janos Ardeal
Yeah, no levels in Witch for Janos. His mentor already tried that and it didn't work. The favored class thing (Arcane Training Racial Trait) was helpful in the last campaign he was in where we didn't have an arcane caster. It's giving up a lot and we do have a Witch in the party, but I tend to like its flavor and shows that he was really schooled in being a Witch, despite not being able to do it. Failed Apprentice trait also provides some of that flavor.
@Tibideau: Sounds like a good plan.
How are we on skills? Do I need to shift anything for Janos?
Anyone from the area and spending time in the swamps or having need of a hedge witch healer, could know Janos or his mentor.
|B'yelka Morfaine
@ Dan: Yes, B'yelka's parents would have paid exorbiant sums of money to educate their prodigy. Unfortunately, she only cared about the singing and music parts ;) Math? Engineering? Those are for the people that build the opera houses. It the Diva the makes the Opera. Does that sound good? I am just imagining Dantarian's frustration with the little diva ;) And just imagine her trying to make good (now) on all of Dan's work. That sounds like a good angle to me. B'yelka gets a favored language; let me check you languages and take one that you could have taught her.
@ Tibideau: Then we shall meet on the road ;) Do you prefer your Opera in Azlanti, or in the plain tongue? We are going to have to make up stars and composers of old to 'fill in' our fireside chats. lol
@ Everyone... imagine our surprise when we all find out that our lives had a double-common thread: Prof L tied us together in prepration for his own death. Why would he do that?
@ Jelani: I was looking at Silken Ceremonial Armor. Can we reskin it so that her corseted gown (Courtier's Outfit) counts for the same +1 Armor Bonus?
*EDIT* In regards to feats I took Weapon Finesse, and dropped Lingering Performance. I thought about Jelani's suggestion but decided that B'yelka *is* her stage persona and I wanted to reflect that by maintaining those at ridiculous levels. :)
**EDIT** Dantarian, I took Azlanti and dropped Infernal. Looks like we know who taught her to understand the words she was learning!
|Anton Klasnic
@Drosil. I am yet to read through everyone's information unfortunately but having us meet eachother in the orphanage certainly seems like a good idea to me, we're about the same age as well. Anton has been there since he was six so he certainly would have welcomed a friend/brother and with our skills in diplomacy we are both amiable enough to get on with most people. The reason I can see Anton getting into mischief is that raised in a caravan to follow Desna, he has a terrible wanderlust and being effectively confined within the orphanage (or even within the city) would not have sat well with him. He has a principle that it is important, wherever possible, to experience or see something new every day.
It's quite important that Anton doesn't know it was Lorrimor that helped him. Whether Lorrimor knew the Klasnic family or not and whether that comes into the game is up to the GM really. I just like to leave some elements deliberately vague so they can be integrated into the sotry if the GM wishes.
I may drop a skill point from somewhere to add into stealth and scout with you. The major drawback with that is a lack of darkvision.... not sure about that yet.
One question, have you considered some skills in use magic device, even if it's just to get yourself a wand of invisibility or silence later on?
@Tibideau. As an archer, I'd like to be like Hawkeye/Batman and always have the right tool for the job to bypass DR etc. Although I have monster lore to help me identify the weaknesses of creatures, I don't really have the skill points to invest in all knowledges. I'm even considering dropping monster lore because of this and focussing more on stealth and survival if I can but I'm not sure there is an archetype where I can replace both teamwork feats and monster lore. Sooooo... given that I'm likely to be standing at the back with you, if you would be so kind as to occasionally just whisper "Anton, silver arrow on this one, mate." I'd be really grateful lol.
@B'yelka. No suggestions from me. Unless I can find a way of boosting my diplomacy (such as the infiltrator archetype), I may start to focus more on intimidate with the stern gaze ability.
@Janos/Dan. Looks like you guys are our front line. Anton can swing a Morningstar well enough if he is backed into a corner but I'll mostly be looking to support you. Dan, in other games I have seen the GM houserule that Master Chymist progresses sneak attack instead of bombs if you have taken the vivisectionist archetype. It's logical imho but of course it's a GM call and can cause a little bit of extra work if you manage your character through something like Hero Lab. But yes, if that's not possible it isn't worth it, as you rightly say you end up with both mediocre bombs and SA.
|DM Jelani
B'yelka - The armor thing is fine.
Dantrian - If you'd rather than have sneak attack than bombs, I'm fine with you taking Vivsectionist and houseruling Master Chymist to advance sneak at the same rate it normally would bombs. Doesn't matter to me either way. Anton makes the valid point that you and Janos are gonna be in the front most of the time by the looks of things.
Everybody - I'm basically always cool with re-skinning something however you like, as long as the mechanics don't change and it's somewhat realistic relative to the mechanical effect. (Ie no reskinning your dagger as a 10' long blade. But you could reskin magic missiles to look like ghostly skulls or something.) Just ask first here in discussion, I'll likely say yes.
Also, having more than two people with the same knowledges is probably a waste of skill points that could be used elsewhere. There should be enough skill points and class skills floating around this party for you guys to cover every single knowledge there is at least once, with doubling up on the important ones in case of a bad roll.
Finally, I think I'm going to post the opener in gameplay tonight before I go to bed. That gives people about six hours to work on stuff if they see this, if not we can just go with the light connections people have established and then improv the rest in character. Feel free to keep discussing it here in OOC after the game starts.

Let's do that then. I'll update my history here shortly.
I may drop a skill point from somewhere to add into stealth and scout with you. The major drawback with that is a lack of darkvision.... not sure about that yet.
Yeah, I think you'd be better off leaving it the way it is. While it would be nice to have some company, I think I'll be uniquely qualified to do some stealthy scouting with the way Jelani's going to be handling Stealth w/concealment.
One question, have you considered some skills in use magic device, even if it's just to get yourself a wand of invisibility or silence later on?
I hadn't, actually - not because of any particular dislike of the idea, but because the skills I ended up choosing just seemed to fit the character better. Also, I have a terrible habit of not using charged magic items when they're available - what if I use it now and don't have that charge later when I really need it?? :-P
That said, if anyone has a suggestion of a skill I took that they feel I wouldn't really need, I'm more than willing to take suggestions. Likewise, if it would be helpful for me to spend points in Knowledge skills (Dungeoneering and Local are class skills, and I get a +1 to Local and Nature from race), I could do that as well.
|Tibideau Maroon LeClerc
@ Anton - I will certainly share my knowledge skillz. I have another idea for fighting the undead, too. I'm planning on having Guidance prepared every day, and you could exchange Guidance for Disrupt Undead on your spell list if you wanted.
|B'yelka Morfaine
@ Drosil *psst* Your alias is showing :p
@ Jelani: Updated crunch, the changes are 1) dropped Infernal, took Azlanti; 2) dropped Lingering Performance and took Weapon Finesse; 3) dropped Courtier Outfit and took Silken Ceremonial Armor (Who knows, one point of AC may matter!)
|Tibideau Maroon LeClerc
|Anton Klasnic
Jelani, I need to make some last minute adjustments to my character but I can't do so for about the next 4 hours (when I get home from work). Suffice to say it is just some tweaks to skills and taking disrupt undead as Tib suggests.
One slightly bigger adjustment is taking both the heretic and peracher archetypes as they don't overlap and replace monster lore and the teamwork feas. Heretic will help me with my face role as I get a big boost to bluff and I can provide some backup to Drosil when in stealth mode. I know he isn't likely to need it but I live by the rule 'don't split the party, or at least if you do split the party, have backup!'
Story-wise this still fits my guy. He has the liberation domain and as much as travel is his first love, he hates to see people oppressed and controlled (due to what happened to his parents) which isn't really Desna's main concern but definitely something close to his heart which. This why he doesn't follow all of the more traditional tenets of the faith.
|Drosil the Grey
@ Drosil *psst* Your alias is showing :p
As is my newb-ness. Is it possible to change the poster after the fact?
|DM Jelani
|DM Jelani
A couple of questions to think about:
Has you character ever been in a fight for their life? Have they ever killed someone? If so why? How does your character feel about taking prisoners once a fight has broken out (if someone attacks you are they fair game for death)?
You don't have to type out answers to these, just think about them. A lot of times people who have been playing for a while end up playing first level characters who are way too jaded and experienced for what their character sheet indicates. In a kick the door down dungeon crawl or something that's not a big deal, but since this is a horror game it will be a lot more scary and horrible if the PCs are mentally closer to normal people than stone cold killer adventuring experts. Not saying you have to be stupid, just encouraging people to have fun with getting into character.
|Dantrian Almaeus
As is my newb-ness. Is it possible to change the poster after the fact?
Only if you catch it within the first hour. Posts are editable within that time frame, but after 1 hour, they are there FOREVER. =P
I dig the idea of Dantrian having served as B'yelka's math and linguistics tutor nearly a decade ago. I look forward to his surprise in 1) meeting her again to being with and 2) when he learns that her silly and fanciful dreams of being a singer actually paid off and that she didn't need math all that much after all =)
Looked at vivisectionist again and discovered that the archetype only gives up bombs and not Throw Anything as well. In light of that, his splash weapons (holy water, I'm looking at you!) will still get his intelligence modifier added to both the direct hit and the splash damage, which is nice. So maybe I will take the archetype after all.
In light of the archetype, I'll shift my skill point from Heal over to Knowledge(geography), since the archetype will let me use my Knowledge(nature) in place of Heal checks.
I'll also likely purchase a ranged weapon since I was previously going to rely on bombs at range.
|Janos Ardeal
|Anton Klasnic
Drosil, a couple of questions.
I left the orphanage at age 16 and began travrlling varisia. Did you come with me, stay at the orphanage or maybe get a job with the Sczarni as a burgler? Essentially, have we seen eachother in te last five years? I'm inclined to say no just because of the transient nature of Anton and the fact you are more of an urbanite.
Also, I didn't become aware that Lorrimor was my benefactor until now but he might have been visiting you regularly and observing me from afar, that's up to you though.
I've read everyones backstory now and can see why Jelani picked on the strength of writing, really well dveloped characters all round. Given that Anton always looks like a bit of a tramp with his patched up greatcoat and old leather hat, it'll be interesting to first meet Tibideau and B'yelka who are so pretty and perfect!
|Drosil the Grey
@Janos - not a bad idea, as we do seem to have a lot of ranged support...
@Anton - I agree with all of your suggestions, and think it would be great to have a little reunion when we discover we were both summoned to the funeral.
|B'yelka Morfaine
I am thinking of using Greek letters to spoiler for Azlanti, as I think I will be using that to key B'yelka's singing.
For Example:
Με λύπη μας διαπιστώνουμε ελπίδα, αναμνήσεις σας
In our sadness we find hope in memories of you
Whaddayathink? I stole it from Doomed Hero's PbP primer :)

I've been waiting for this since the bootleg app in the apple store that only lets you use it in the app.
Well well well... I see he even made it ot MMi. For those who trying this tweak, just a friendly advise. Becareful when u r uninstalling it after u feel u dun wanna use anymore. Cos there is a high chance that yr iphone will end up in boot loop. Reason!? he nvr implement mobile substrate correctly and his method directly change the system file, which Saurik will nvr approve. He might have changed his coding but last time I check on his blog, he already put up a warning about that himself. Source: personal expreience. Still, correct me if m wrong.
Why isn't this compatible with PictoKeyboard?? I bought it, but when i went to install it PictoKeyboard was going to be removed.
I use PictoKeyboard A LOT. It allows you to insert ASCII emoticons and symbols in any app, website text box, or text message, and unlike Emoji, they are always displayed.
It sucks that I found this out AFTER paying the .99 cents.
when i found out there was anew emoji on ios 5.1 i did like this using pictokeyboard, changing up the symbols into the new emojis and it works one of my problem is it doesnt fit all of the emoji... maybe this one too.
im not gonna get this tweak. i want is that it will go with the other emojis in the original emoji keyboard where you can swipe , recents and categorize.. maybe in ios6 but if want to buy this tweak make sure you dony use pictokeyboard cause it gonna remove it.
Wish I could get it but seems as if my transaction has been flagged for manual investigation on Cydia =\

On Main Street, Portland, Or, under the elk statue, surrounded by the Occupy encampment of Chapman Square.
Chapman Square was occupied in the fall of 2011 in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. As with other #Occupy encampments, facilities were established to provide basic needs for occupiers.
These provisions drew those in need from across the city, swelling the movement's numbers, but also adding to the footprint of the movement's impact on place, policy, and sustainability.
The protest continues...we are the 99%.

Workaround for borderless Java Swing menus on Linux
Since years Linux users are plagued by a bug which affects the rendering of Swing popup menus. When using a modern GTK theme (Like Gnome's Adwaita or Ubuntu's Ambiance and Radiance) then menus in Java Swing applications have no borders and no separators:
Several bug reports exists (Like #6925412) but it seems to be unclear if this is a bug in the affected GTK themes or a bug in Java's
GTKLookAndFeel class. Fact is: I'm pretty sure this bug will not be fixed anytime soon so we have to find a workaround and in this article I will show you two different approaches.

By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Columbus Air Force Base plans a Fourth of July fireworks show after a four-year hiatus.
Col. Jim Sears, commander of the 14th Flying Training Wing, tells the Commercial Dispatch the show will take place over the John C. Stennis Lock and Dam.
The celebration is a joint venture of the Air Force base, the Columbus-Lowndes Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Army Corps of Engineers, Lowndes County and the city of Columbus.
Plans are being developed for the show. Children's activities, along with live entertainment, will begin around 4 p.m., and the fireworks will begin about 30 minutes after the sun sets.
