Martin Jr. candid, comical at press conference and boosters reception
Written by Jerry Kutz	in Baseball
Boosters met Mike Martin Jr. at a "meat" and greet on Monday night.
Florida State athletic director David Coburn's opening remarks were the first of a volley of candid statements and funny quips that surprised and entertained the crowds assembled to receive Mike Martin Jr as Florida State's baseball coach.
Coburn's candor comes as no surprise to those who know him.
"Most of my close friends, and certainly my wife, Mary – who is here – will tell you that going into this process in the fall I was a bit of a skeptic about (Mike Martin Jr)," Coburn said, with Martin sitting to his left. "So I spent a lot of time studying this team in the spring and I managed to spend the last three and a half weeks with this team in Athens and Baton Rouge and Omaha. I had an opportunity to observe him interacting with the players, and interacting with the boosters, the fans and interacting with the press. And I had the opportunity to observe his work ethic, his attention to detail and to be honest I came away very impressed."
Coburn's opening comment set the stage for FSU's new head coach to promptly establish his own identity.
"I am Mike Martin Jr. I am not Mike Martin Sr.," FSU's new baseball coach said. "There will never be another Mike Martin Sr. Nobody will do it as long or as well as he did."
The new head coach articulated a litany of changes he plans to make but not before he listed those core principles his father established.
"We are going to treat people the right way," he said. "We are going to work hard. We are not going to berate guys. We want the whole person. We want them right mentally, physically, spiritually, socially and we will go to the ends of the earth to make sure they have every opportunity to be right."
His voice was strong when he shared his vision and plans.
"But there will be things that will done differently," he said emphatically, listing the following:
Not taking as many pitches in strike zone
Moving the team dugout back to the third-base line
Taking names off the back of jerseys
A faster, up-tempo brand of play
More focus on mental health
He dropped the mike with this very un-Martin like statement.
"I don't want another pitch taken on the inner third of the plate," he said. "I don't want another one taken, a fastball in the middle part of the plate, ever again in this program. Right, wrong or indifferent, I got to find out."
Mike Martin Jr. was blunt in laying out changes that he would bring to the program (photo by FSU)
The generational difference was no secret; this only aired it. A reporter doubled down with another question about it and Martin responded candidly and with humor.
"Well, he's an offensive guy as well. But I'm an assistant. An assistant makes suggestions," Martin said. "Look, I'm not going to roll the guy for crying out loud. I stayed in my lane but we had some doozies."
In addition to answering the burning questions about his vision for the program, Martin demonstrated he does have skills behind the podium with the press and later at the booster reception.
Some of his better one-liners included:
On where his father will sit next year: "Hopefully, not within earshot. You know how he is. He can't help it. I'm sure I'll get some texts, phone calls. I just want him to go with Mom. It's Mom's turn."
On a faster tempo: "We will play a faster brand; the tempo of the game," he told the boosters. "And, yes, I will get to the mound a lot quicker than my dad. I promise you that."
On hitting: "Sure, I got an awful lot of Martin in me but I also have some Dellinger," a reference to his mother's maiden name.
Looking at Coburn, Martin said, "By the way, the Dellingers are frugal."
Amid laughter, Coburn replied, "I really appreciate that."
"I thought you would," Martin replied.
Pressers are usually like a Chinese buffet, a lot to consume but not very satisfying an hour later. Not this one. Martin touched a lot of bases that Coburn and the FSU fan base had expressed, what Martin termed, understandable skepticism.
He spoke with passion about his approach to recruiting. "In recruiting, I want to recruit faster. I want to recruit earlier. I will be out on the road. All of my staff will be out on the road," he said. "The old saying act like a head coach and work like an assistant. That's how it's going to be."
He also made it clear he wants to hire assistants who will widen his recruiting net and promised boosters he and his staff will be available while on the road.
Over the past 48 hours, Martin Jr. has been on the phone with signees and kids waiting to see who would become FSU's next head coach before committing. But the most important of the commitments he received came from Chip Baker, FSU's long-time Director of Baseball Operations, who former players will tell you is the glue at FSU.
Baker was contemplating retirement so count his commitment as an endorsement of FSU's new head coach.
Those 150 boosters who attended the reception each received an unexpected door prize from the new head coach, his cell phone number and open door to participate in the development of the program.
"I want them to contact me if there is a great player seen or a potential baseball donor found," he said.
He revealed more about himself when talking about the removal of names from jerseys.
"I want the guys to understand: you make (opponents) know who you are. Make them know what your last name is," he said. "I want this team, my team, to take on my personality. I was told I was only on this team because of my dad. I caught my first game in Division I at 150 pounds. I want my team to play with a little edge. We will obviously bring enthusiasm but a little edge."
There has been question about why Martin stayed on as an assistant for 22 years. Why didn't he leave to take a head coaching job where he could establish his own identity and where he could implement his own ideas.
"I interviewed and I've been told a lot, 'Hey, you are our guy. Sorry, we can't hire you. We are not going to be a stepping stone job. A trustee or whomever else rejected it,' " he said. "I've had it happen quite a few times. I wasn't afraid to leave. Then I got divorced and I ain't leaving my boys."
For years, he and everyone else thought this might be the year 11 retires but he kept winning.
He also revealed why his father was so successful and one of the many things they saw eye to eye on.
"Kids don't care about what you know until they know you care," he said. "That was something he was really, really, good at. His players would run through a wall for him. He got them to play hard.
"He was incredibly driven. You knew what you were going to get every single day: a consistent personality."
We also learned about the derivation of his nickname "Meat."
"That's all I've been called since I was four years old," he said. "I've always been skinny, needed meat on my bones. In the back yard with my old man was throwing to me, he'd use that derogatory term, 'You can't hit me, Meat.' You combine the two and that's all people have ever called me. I signed my papers "Meat" in elementary and high school."
Mike Martin Jr. was establishing himself; the shadow of his father conspicuously absent from the press room.
That, Coburn said, was by 11's design: "He wanted his son to have his day."
Meat said his parents would skip the press conference but meet him at the reception. "Mom said she'd just cry and be a distraction and 11 said (pause) I guess I can call him Dad now. Dad said, 'I've heard you talk enough over the years. I don't need to be there.' "
So, the media asked, should we still call you "Meat"?
"Oh, yeah," he said. "I won't turn around unless you do."

I remember back when I heard that THQ and Relic were dropping Games for Windows Live for Dawn of War 2 Retribution. I cheered out loud, because it was a move that would put an end to the months and months of frustration I've had trying to play Dawn of War 2 with my friends over Microsoft's much lambasted service. However, recent words from Danny Billson, THQ's Executive Vice President of Core Games, suggest that THQ might move back to Games for Windows Live again.
Speaking to Shacknews , Billson revealed that THQ are still on the fence about which service to use, whether it be Valve's Steamworks, or Microsoft's Games for Windows Live. Billson admits that "from a development point of view, it has been easier on Steamworks."
However, the publisher are still in firm talks with Microsoft, and might well move back to the service. "Microsoft is really talking to me a lot about getting back on Games for Windows Live," says Billson, "I like both platforms and I really, really, really like Microsoft as a partner. They're fantastic partners. I want to respect them."
Is there any way in which this is a good idea? Can you imagine a future in which Games for Windows Live is redeemed, and has changed to the extent that it can rival the functionality of Steam? Will pigs fly? What do you think?

Migration Policy Min Koumoutsakos: Samos hotspot situation 'unsustainable'
Alternate Minister of Migration Policy Giorgos Koumoutsakos visited on Friday the refugee reception and identification center at the island of Samos, where described the situation as «unsustainable».
In a statement, Koumoutsakos expressed his concern on conditions there, calling the town of Vathi «a besieged city».
According to a press release, Koumoutsakos stressed that «our intention and commitment is to radically change this unacceptable image on the islands» and summed up the government's policy of «accelerating procedures for processing asylum applications, either granting or rejecting asylum.»
He stressed that it is «unreasonable and unacceptable» for someone who applied for asylum three years ago to be scheduled for the first interview in 2021.
Finally, the minister explained that the speeding up of these procedures will allow the Greek state to «distinguish those who have a justified refugee profile and are entitled to asylum status, from those who illegally enter the country,» and underlined that «the former have the right to stay, while the latter must leave as soon as possible.»

Tuna Town Revival
May 26, 2022 May 27, 2022 Boat Lyfe
Photography: Sean Sullivan
The radio in my stateroom crackled with the sound of the skipper's voice, "Start a chumline here, ones and twos." It was 5:30 a.m. and a hint of morning light was just starting to show on the horizon. We were at the tail end of a 10-hour steam from San Diego to the famed Tanner Bank, about 100 miles west of San Diego, where vast schools of bluefin tuna had taken up their annual fall residence. I quickly got dressed and headed out on deck. Some of the passengers were already up with rods in hand, waiting for the captain's go-ahead to drop baits. The excitement was palpable.
We were on the mighty Excel, the largest and most well-equipped head boat in the San Diego fleet. Boasting an impressive 124-foot length and 32-foot beam, the Excel is more like a ship, fully appointed and geared specifically to fish these rich Pacific waters. The Excel is a proven fish-hunting machine with a reputation built on a history of monumental catches, including the world's largest yellowfin tuna caught in 2012, weighing an incredible 445 pounds.
At the helm, third-generation skipper Justin Fleck slowed us to a crawl while watching the side scan sonar. A glance at the screen showed a sea of red, "There is an unfathomable amount of bluefin tuna below us here," he said, "as far as the eye can see, there are tuna in every direction." I headed back down to the stern and grabbed my 30 lb. Okuma setup, prepared for battle. This was going to be an epic day on the tuna grounds.
Southern California, and San Diego in particular, has a rich sportfishing history going all the way back to the early 1900s. In those days, the bluefin tuna was the undisputed king of these waters. And, while the pacific bluefin doesn't grow to the enormous size of the Atlantic bluefin tuna, the state record is 395 pounds, proving these fish still have the power to test anglers. Unlike the giant Atlantic bluefin seen on shows like "Wicked Tuna," Pacific/SoCal bluefin are generally fought on stand-up gear. These fish are strong and have the ability to find any weakness in an angler's approach and exploit it.
For many years, the bluefin tuna was a staple in southern California, but over time, their numbers diminished. This downward spiral in stock was attributed to a variety of factors, all unverified. The only thing for sure was that the tuna seemed to have disappeared, for the most part, showing up just occasionally, mixed in with the massive schools of albacore that filled the void in their absence.
Then, about 15 years ago, something odd happened. The albacore disappeared from southern California waters. It wasn't a slow reduction either; one year they just didn't show up south of the San Francisco Bay area. Then the next year, again, no albacore. There was no rhyme nor reason to this shift in patterns, but it was clear to everyone things were changing in these waters, and quickly.
On March 11, 2011, at 2:46 p.m. local time, the massive Tōhoku earthquake struck off Honshu, Japan, registering a 9.0 magnitude and flooding the Fukushima nuclear plant, causing a global catastrophe that is still playing out today more than a decade later. It is well known that Japan has an insatiable appetite for bluefin tuna, with specimens garnering as much as $1 million. A million dollars for a single fish! Tragically, the majority of the bluefin tuna fishing fleet was decimated by the tsunami that struck this region shortly after the Tōhoku quake. A year later, in the spring of 2012, reports started to trickle in of something huge taking baits and spooling anglers in the lee of San Clemente Island, about 60 miles off San Diego. People targeting other species were getting their gear destroyed by these giant fish and it wasn't long before boats were heading out with heavy rigs to see if the rumors were true. Shortly after, photos began popping up online of big bluefin and suddenly all hell broke loose as everyone wanted a piece of the action.
When I quizzed Excel skipper Justin Fleck on why the bluefin tuna started appearing in 2012, he was quick to point out the possible connection between the Japan earthquake and the re-emergence of the Bluefin in SoCal waters. "Some believe that the decimation of the Japanese fleet allowed these bluefin to complete their historic migration for the first time in generations." While this resurgence of bluefin in southern California waters was certainly welcomed, it also served as a stark reminder of just how much damage overfishing can do.
Suddenly, these tuna were able to complete a genetically programmed circuit that took them in a several thousand mile circle down the coast of Japan, across the Pacific Basin and up the California coast. With the pressure from Japan's fishery eliminated, the tuna were able to once again complete this circle. Is this the only factor contributing to the bluefin's return? It's hard to say for sure, but the timing and the facts are hard to ignore.
Other rumors also persist. Some say the bluefin were always there, just not targeted properly. The legendary Guadalupe Island has also always been a well-known hunting ground for big tuna. Sitting well offshore, 250 miles south of San Diego, its notorious "Tuna Alley" has been the scene of massive bluefin and yellowfin tuna catches since pioneer skipper Bill Poole first took his boat, the Polaris, there in the 1950s. Now known more for its large population of great white sharks, as seen regularly on "Shark Week," some have gone so far as to speculate that it is this rise in the population of great whites, along with increasing water temps down south, that has pushed the biomass of bluefin north into California waters.
As of now, there is really no scientific confirmation as to why these tuna have reappeared in southern California. But back on the deck of the mighty Excel, I grabbed a hearty sardine from the bait tank, butt-hooked it on my 30 lb. fluorocarbon-rigged, tiny size 1 circle-hook and gently tossed it several yards from the boat. The tiny baitfish landed softly and quickly sprinted away. Letting the reel run in free spool, within a few seconds the line began to race. Slipping the 2-speed into gear, the line came tight as the circle hook found its mark in the corner of a 30-pound tuna's mouth. Feeling the hook, the tuna took off full speed for the horizon. Twenty minutes later, with sweat running down my face, I pulled a nice chrome butterball over the rail.
While this size is the norm, the story of the SoCal bluefin isn't complete without also talking about the monsters that have been caught here over the past few years. In addition to the young of the year classes, there has also been a separate population of big adult migratory bluefin temporarily making SoCal waters their home. These fish are older and were most likely not born in this region of the Pacific. They are genuine trophies and don't come easy to any angler who chooses to tangle with the giant "horse mackerel."
Targeting these bigger fish is generally done two ways, either on the kite or using large jigs called "flat falls." These lures, usually deployed at night over schools detected on sonar, operate similar to the knife jigs used in other parts of the world. Fluttering through the water column, they work to trigger the attack instinct from these giant fish in ways that other heavy jigs don't. On the kite, anglers troll rigged flying fish or lures called "gummy flyers" that mimic the local flying fish species. These are towed across breezing tuna schools detected on sonar and the bites can be incredibly explosive, as the large model tuna breech on the flyers in dramatic style.
What does the future hold for this emerging population of tuna It's hard to predict, as they seem to appear and disappear randomly. But for now, these various year classes seem to be growing quickly and taking up residence in the waters around southern California. If you're looking to tangle with one of these monsters, you better get your gear tuned up and put your big kid pants on because these fish don't mess around!

Scandals of Tokyo
This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Heather Hallman will award a $25 Amaon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via Rafflecopter. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.
ENJOY THIS PREQUEL TO THE TOKYO WHISPERS SERIES
In the Foreign Quarter of Tsukiji, Tokyo, Japan, Victorian England is alive and well. Manners and etiquette are as valuable as gossip and deceit. Men are more rakish than ever - so far from home, societal rules seem to be relaxed. But courting young women still requires a deft hand, a smart wit, and a man with something to offer.
INTERNATIONAL SCANDAL
Intent on being an international journalist of repute, Evelyn Prescott will do what it takes to make her mark.
It doesn't hurt that her father has built a newspaper empire, but finding a scandal in Japan is no easy task.
As much as she hates to admit it, she is forced to meet with the owner of the Tokyo Daily News, Ned Taylor, also an Englishman.
Ned holds a deep-rooted dislike of Evelyn's father's approach to journalism, and Ned, a notorious rake, pushes her to see just how far Evelyn is prepared to go to get her story.
From Reedsy Discovery: "Written as a prequel novelette to her forthcoming Tokyo Whispers series, "Scandals of Tokyo" drops readers into the immigrant quarter of Meiji era Tokyo, with hints of all of the glitz, the temptation, and the salacious gossip one could wish. At just under 30 pages, Hallman has a lot of ground to cover, introducing characters and a world that will be expanded on in future novels, but if "Scandals" is just a taste of this series, then it's going to be huge.
Lovingly researched and brilliantly detailed, Hallman knows the place and time she's writing about and it shows! Turn of the century Tokyo is alive and well on her pages and in her characters, and it is certain to delight."
Foreign Quarter of Tsukiji
Several matrons strolled towards the balustrade, their chatter enveloped in the rustling of silk skirts and clattering of heels against the terrace flagstones. Aunt Prissy warbled an evening greeting to some of them, which they returned in kind. Over the course of their residence at the Hotel Metropolis, she'd become friendly with most of the guests. As the women walked away, Aunt Prissy offered another large yawn from behind her fan.
"Really, you should retire. I'll stay a bit longer on the terrace. I'm too fidgety to join you." Evelyn's gratitude for her aunt's permissiveness as chaperone had never been greater, but she was determined to speak with a certain charming gentleman this evening, and the conversation would proceed more smoothly if Aunt Prissy wasn't taking part.
"I perfectly understand, dear Evie. Better you fidget on the terrace. It's quite windy tonight. Do beware of catching a chill. Shall I bring you a wrap?" Even at the end of August, summer's heat held Tokyo in its grip. Night brought a modicum of relief, but the breezes off Tokyo Bay remained sultry.
Evelyn declined the offer and kissed Aunt Prissy good night. As the swish of her aunt's skirts faded, Evelyn contemplated her target.
Ned Taylor was her last hope.
She hadn't wanted to use the letter she carried, but she'd been in Tokyo for over a month and still didn't have a scandalous story she could send to Papa. Most of her time had been spent convalescing from a summer malady she'd picked up a few days after arriving and chasing a baroness through the countryside for a scandal-worthy headline. She'd inquired around the foreign quarter as to the reputations of its prominent residents, but all her efforts had amounted to was unsubstantiated rumours and trivial innuendo.
Evelyn had no choice but to present Mr Taylor with a request from her papa he couldn't ignore.
Heather Hallman writes witty, sensual, contest-winning romances set in Meiji-era Japan (1868-1912). She is the author of the Tokyo Whispers series that includes Scandals of Tokyo and Talk of Tokyo.
She is fluent in Japanese language, history, and culture, and earned a doctoral degree in cultural anthropology based on fieldwork research in Japan. She lives in Tokyo with her professor husband and two young daughters. In her free time, she can be found translating ancient Japanese poetry and observing the passing of seasons while sipping green tea. Just kidding, she has no free time. But she does watch something that makes her laugh while she does the dishes.
Perennial obsessions include the weather forecast (she checks three different apps at least three times a day, as no single app can be trusted), Baltimore Ravens football (hometown obsession), and making smoothies that taste like candy bars.
Feel free to chat her up about any of her obsessions, or, even better, about historical Japan—any era is fine, she loves them all. She also enjoys exchanging book recommendations, discussions about the craft of romance writing, and stories about life in present-day Tokyo.

Hello! I'm excited to share my historical romance, Scandals of Tokyo, with you. It's short (a forty-minute read), mildly spicy 💖+🌶, and will whisk you away to 1896 Tokyo.
Speaking of being whisked away, this is the time of year when I dream of sand between my toes, swoon-worthy romance in one hand, icy lemonade in the other, waves breaking on the shore. 📚🏖 🌊
Where do you love to read? If you've got a minute, let me know in the comments.

As a setting for historical fiction involving people living in a different culture, Japan of the late 19th, early 20th centuries is pretty much unbroken ground. And my favorite reading spot is in my easy chair--that's not dependent on weather as the beach would be!
Yes, the beach can be tricky when it comes to the weather. And insects. I love a good easy chair, never disappoints!

A whirlwind tour would best describe my recent trip to lead a photo tour in the Pacific Northwest with friend and fellow landscape photographer, Alex Mody. Before we hit Oregon, we need to rewind a week to the opposite side of the country, St. Augustine, Florida. The two locations couldn't be any more different than one another. I started off in St. Augustine leading a small group workshop at the Alligator Farm photographing the many species of birds that nest in the swamp from late winter through early summer. After four days of photographing wildlife, I gave a Keynote Presentation for the third annual Florida Birding & Photo Fest to a group of incredibly nice and welcoming photographers. That night I rushed back to Jacksonville by midnight just in time to catch a few hours of sleep before having to be at the airport for a 6am flight to Portland. The flight went as planned and I landed in Portland with only two hours to spare before meeting my workshop group in Hood River. I was exhausted, but ready for 8 days of exploration and teaching in the Gorge and Olympic National Park. We kicked off a great tour with some very sweet light over Dalles Mountain Ranch. The wildflowers were less than amazing this year, but we did find some nestled amongst this old abandoned and rotting car at sunset.
The next morning we started on Rowena Crest at sunrise, the best light of the trip by far. The wildflowers were not amazing, but in much better shape and certainly more profuse than Dalles Mountain Ranch. We worked the area for several hours until the light was gone.
The next few days we didn't see much of any great light and the gorge was uncharacteristically dry and sunny, but we were able to plan our shoots for the right time of the day to maximize the best light for shooting streams and waterfalls. All got wet, a few camera's were sacrificed and everyone had a great time working the water.
After 3.5 great days of photographing the Gorge, we all packed our gear and hit the long road to Forks, Washington for the second leg of our adventure on the Olympic Peninsula. This leg of the trip will focus exclusively on the coast and rain-forests.
Day one in Olympic was spent most succesefully in the rain forests. A failed attempt at sunrise on Ruby Beach and increasing clouds, allowed us to really focus on the forest today. This is a shot I shared with the group in an attempt to prepare them to learn how to see and compose in this most chaotic of locations. After many hours in the Hoh, we made an attempt at the coast but were shut out by heavy cloud cover and dull light. The next night however, we managed to get some vey intense light on Ruby Beach and everyone walked away with some winners from that shoot.
Are third day in the rain forests allowed us the opportunity to track and photograph a Barred Owl amongst the Jurrasic-esque scenery of the Hall of Mosses. We spent nearly two hours watching and waiting for this owl to land on the perfect perch. Our patience and persistence was rewarded.
Later that day we visited the lesser know Queets rainforest. We had the entire location to ourselves that evening and worked strong backlight through the forest. The image below is my favorite from that outing.
The last morning of the workshop took us to Beach 4 at low tide to photograph the many tide pools in the rocks. We focused on shooting small scenes of the starfish, sea Sea anemones and tons of intricate and intimate details.
After breaking bread with the group at Kalaloch Lodge that morning, we all said our goodbye's. I spent the remainder of the day catching up on processing before heading back to the Queets rainforest for one last shoot and finally ending tyne day at Ruby Beach at sunset. I decided to focus my creative energy on capturing small scenes that day, the first is a group of forest ferns with soft late afternoon light raking across and the second is sand patterns at sunset from Ruby Beach.
I hope you have enjoyed these images! Feel free to please leave a comment and or share this blog post.

Casting Call: Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-verse
Anyone looking for my review of the Doctor Who season opener will have to wait till next week; I'll be reviewing the full two-part story in one go.
Loads of casting news for the latest Marvel adaptations has surfaced since I last wrote on the subject, trickling out until the recent flood of Luke Cage details. Deep breath...
Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Captain America: Civil War, untitled Spidey movie)
No introduction for the character required here. Spidey's latest reboot has been the subject of much anticipation and aggravation since Marvel made their deal with Sony to co-produce the character's outings. 19-year-old Holland was chosen out of many auditioning young actors, and will be playing Spidey a little younger than his actual age, bringing him back to the high school kid he began as. Kevin Feige and the team behind the movies have confirmed that they won't be rehashing the origin story, which is a relief - pretty much everyone knows the origins of Spider-Man anyway now, so it's hardly essential. Considering how late in the day he was cast, Holland's role in Civil War can't be especially large (unlike in the comic crossover it's loosely based on, in which he's an intrinsic central character). Also, the producers have confirmed that Spidey is already swinging around MCU New York (a throwaway line in Ant-Man supports this). What works nicely in this set-up is that he'd have been about twelve when The Avengers took place, so he'll have been inspired by the various supers charging around his version of New York.
Like the previous film Spidey (Andrew Garfield), Tom Holland is a Brit. He's best known for his time in the lead role in Billy Elliot: The Musical, plus screen appearances in The Impossible, Wolf Hall and How I Live Now. His schedule has become a lot busier this last year. We know that after his Spidey debut in Civil War, he'll have at least one movie to himself (officially untitled, but the smart money is on The Spectacular Spider-Man), with two sequels already optioned. It'd be a big surprise to not see him at least briefly alongside the other heroes in Avengers: Infinity War, but the contract between Marvel and Sony stipulates that he can't appear in any TV properties. There are also talks of an animated Spidey movie or two, but it's unknown if any of the screen actors will take up their roles in the voice studio.
Frank Castle/The Punisher (Daredevil s2)
One of Marvel's most popular characters, but not one who's ever really caught on well on film, ruthless vigilante Frank Castle has been played by various actors over the years: Dolph Lundgren in the 1989 Punisher movie, Thomas Jane in the 2004 reboot (and its unofficial short sequel, Dirty Laundry) and Ray Stevenson in 2008's Punisher: War Zone. So this is just the latest of various unrelated attempts to bring the character to the screen (he's also had various animated appearances, including in the 1990s Spider-Man animated series and the rather good anime Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore. The Punisher lacks superhuman abilities but is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant and tactician, who has found himself both fighting with and against various heroes throughout Marvel's comics since his debut in 1974. Jon Bernthal, best known as Shane in The Walking Dead and Joe Teague in Mob City, is an absolutely spot-on choice for the role. We'll see what side of Daredevil's fight he's on when he appears.
Elektra Natchios (Daredevil s2)
One of the most popular and important characters in the Daredevil storyline, Elektra is ninja assassin with an almost superhuman proficiency in martial arts. She's been a longtime love interest of Matt Murdock in the comics, but has almost as frequently been set against him, predominantly because he has a strict no-killing rule while she's, well, a professional murderer. Her mercenary nature has led to her aligning herself with various groups over the years, from SHIELD and HYDRA to ninja groups the Chaste and the Hand. With the Hand seemingly set to be a recurring threat in the new Defenders oriented shows, and Murdock's sensei Stick confirmed to return, Elektra's malleable allegiance could lead to some significant conflict. A line in the first series of Daredevil about a Greek student during Murdock's college days strongly implies he's already met Elektra in this storyline.
This is Elektra's second live-action casting, following on from Jennifer Garner's attempt at the role in 2003's middling Daredevil film and its woeful spin-off, the 2005 Elektra movie. French actress Elodie Yung plays Elektra in the next season of the Daredevil series. A martial artist in real life, she's appeared in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Les fils du vent and as Jinx in GI Joe: Retaliation. Not that that's any reason to go and watch that film.
The Ancient One (Doctor Strange)
Once Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One is a Tibetan mystic, born over five hundred years ago, who is responsible for training Dr. Strange to become the Sorceror Supreme of the modern age. In the comics, he is, unsurprisingly, male, but Marvel have surprised everyone by casting English actress Tilda Swinton in the role. As with Baron Mordo (below), this is some inspired casting that totally ignores established racial and gender characteristics in favour of getting some true talent involved. Doctor Strange is looking like it'll have one of the best and most intriguing casts of any comicbook movie for years. The Ancient One's exact origins and characteristics have varied a fair bit over the years, but he's always been an incredibly aged, astonishingly powerful, albeit physically weak, sorcerer. As well as Strange and Mordo, he's been affiliated with such disparate characters as Eternity and the Black Rider, and while powerful now, is nowhere near as formidable as he was in his prime (hence his training of a new Sorcerer Supreme to take his place). Before training Strange, he almost single-handedly kept the Dread Dormammu from invading the Earth, has travelled to many other dimensions, and has continued to be a major force after death.
The Ancient One appeared, in spiritual form, in the 1978 Doctor Strange telemovie, voiced by Michael Ansara. The great Katherine Mathilda Swinton of Kimmerghame is perhaps the only actor living who is sufficiently talented, strange and remarkably unique to play the great sorcerer. Trying to sum up her career here would be a fool's errand, but for comicbook geeks, she was the Archangel Gabriel in the misguided 2005 WB adaptation of Constantine.
Baron Mordo (Doctor Strange)
One of the great British actors of the current generation, Ejiofor's been attached to this for ages, but only recently has it finally been confirmed that he's playing Baron Mordo. One of Strange's arch-nemeses, Mordo is, in the comics, a Transylvanian of noble birth who was trained by the Ancient One to become Sorcerer Supreme, but was exiled for his treachery. Clearly, casting an Afro-English actor means that the character's origins will be tweaked a little, but the essentials will doubtless remain: Mordo is an incredibly powerful warlock who despises and opposes Strange. His abilities include, but are not limited to, hypnotism, illusionism, the summoning of demons, teleportation, astral projection, martial arts and numerous magical techniques. Plus, of course, he's been studying the magical arts longer than Strange, so he has experience on his side. In his long comics career, he's renounced evil a couple of times, but always been tempted back to the dark side.
Chiwetel Ejiofor is, of course, brilliant, and will bring some pure class to the role. Skiffy fans will know him from Serenity and Children of Men (and there's a rumour going round that he was offered the lead in Doctor Who at one stage), but his greatest roles have been in films such as 12 Years a Slave, American Gangster and Kinky Boots. He also won the Laurence Olivier Award in 2008, making him very probably the best actor to appear in the MCU by a long, long way.
Also confirmed for Doctor Strange is Rachel McAdams, aka Irene Adler in the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies, Clare in The Time Traveller's Wife and much, much more. There's no news on who she's playing, but the likelihood is that she's playing Clea, who is both his main love interest and linked closely to the demon Dormammu. There are several other characters she could be playing, though, especially considering the unexpected casting decisions this film is taking.
Mark Willig
Lash (Agents of SHIELD s3)
Lash is very new character in Marvel comics, having been introduced in the Matt Fraction-penned series Inhuman series in 2014. An Inhuman, but not one of the main society who we normally encounter, Lash grew up in an isolated community where very few are chosen to undergo Terrigenesis and mutate into their Inhuman forms. As well as being physically formidable, Lash has the power to absorb and convert any form of energy and release it as whichever form he chooses, often intense heat. In the Inhuman storyline, Lash searches the world for "Nu-Humans" - humans who have unexpectedly transformed into Inhumans following the worldwide flood of Terrigen mist. Unlike some groups, though, Lash is dedicated to wiping out these people, who he sees as underserving of their transformation. Given the similar events at the end of season two of Agents of SHIELD, we can expect something similar to happen here, although Joss Whedon has expressed that things will not be taken directly from the comics, so there may be some surprises. Mark Willig is fairly new to acting, having had roles in NCIS and Year One among others, and was formerly a career footballer.
Also appearing in the third season of SHIELD are Constance Zimmer as Rosalind Price, an agent for a rival organisation who will cross paths with SHIELD in the hunt for new Inhumans; Juan Pablo Raba as Joey Gutierrez as one such newly transformed Inhuman, and Andrew Howard as Agent Banks, who is also set to be on the hunt for Inhumans.
Simone Missick
Misty Knight (Luke Cage)
Misty Knight is a fan-favourite character, and a big part of the stories of both Luke Cage and Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist. She's just a much a product of the seventies as Cage, being a combination of both blaxploitation cinema tropes and kung fu martial arts flicks. A former police officer, she boasts both detective skills and martial arts prowess; she lost her arm in the line of duty, receiving a bionic arm from Tony Stark that has granted her various enhanced abilities. How much of this will make it to the series in unknown, although if Phil Coulson can come back with a cyber-arm, I don't see why Misty can't. Knight's had romantic and heroic partnerships with both Cage and Rand (the latter of which has still not been cast), so she's bound to be a major part of not just the Luke Cage series, but the Iron Fist and Defenders series as well. Simone Missick is a fairly new face on screen, but she absolutely looks the part. Playing Misty's police partner Rafael Scarfe is Frank Whaley, who's had minor to middle roles in more or less everything in the last twenty years or so.
Theo Rossi
Hernan Alvarez/Shades (Luke Cage)
Shades was one of the cons sharing Luke Cage's cell during his time, and like Cage, suffered abuse at the hands of those in authority. Since he got out, the Dominican-born Shades has struggled to stay straight, acting on both sides of the law, and as both friend and enemy to Cage. At one point, he acquired a technologically-enhanced visor that allowed him to fire optic blasts (rather like Cyclops in X-Men). In latter stories, he's mostly, but not always, been on the side of right. His son, Victor Alvarez, developed some of the powers of Iron Fist when he absorbed the chi of over a hundred people in the disaster that killed Shades; with the new abilities he displayed, he took on the name Power Man, formerly used by Luke Cage. While I'm not convinced we'll see Shades blasting people with his super-sunnies on TV, I'd be surprised if Victor isn't introduced, if only as a kid. Sounds like Shades will be very much still a street criminal in this version, we shouldn't assume there's no chance for redemption. Theo Rossi has appeared in many popular shows, but is best known for his role as Juice in Sons of Anarchy .
Cornell "Cottonmouth" Strokes (Luke Cage)
A powerful drug lord in New York, Cottonmouth was involved in the drugs sale that framed Luke Cage and led to his incarceration. A man with many enemies, he's been a target of the Hand as well as Cage and his allies. At one point ending up with all is teeth shattered, he got them replaced with razor-sharp gold caps, and has enhanced strength in certain storylines too. Actor Mahershala Ali is familiar from The 4400, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay and Predators. Also cast is Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard, Cottonmouth's cousin who intends to run for office and bring change to Harlem. Woodard is a familiar face with years of screen roles behind her, most recently 12 Years a Slave and Annabelle, but is best known to genre fans for appearances in K-PAX, The Forgotten and Star Trek: First Contact.
Andre Tricoteux
Piotr Rasputin/Colossus (Deadpool)
It's confirmed that actor and stuntman Andre Tricoteux will be taking over the role of metal-plated Russian mutant Colossus in February's highly anticipated Deadpool movie. The character was previously played by Daniel Cudmore in X2, X3: The Last Stand and Days of Future Past.
Bella Donna Boudreaux (Gambit)
The latest casting news for the Gambit movie has confirmed that French actress Léa Seydoux will be co-starring with Channing Tatum, and although it's not been officially confirmed, it's accepted that she'll be playing Bella Donna Boudreaux, otherwise known simply as Belladonna. A mutant like Gambit, Belladonna has the ability to shoot energy blasts and to astrally project. She shares a long, complex history with Gambit in the comics, and it can be expected she'll be a combination of romantic interest and villain in the movie. Léa Seydoux is a major rising star in Hollywood, soon set to appear in the Bond flick SPECTRE, having had previous English language credits in Inglourious Basterds and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Her most acclaimed performance is alongside Adele Exarchopoulos in the French graphic novel adaptation Blue is the Warmest Colour (aka La Vie d'Adele), an award-winning romantic drama.

Pistons give up big lead, then come back to grab one they couldn't afford to lose
Keith Langlois●@keith_langlois
December 6, 201610:02 PM EST
AUBURN HILLS – The Bulls put their blueprint on display Tuesday night. So did the Pistons, a radically different one.
Chicago's fate rests in the hands of its star power. Even while playing their fourth game in five nights, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg rode Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade, a month away from his 35th birthday, about as hard as they can be ridden.
Stan Van Gundy, meanwhile, countered with his bench for a fourth-quarter comeback that gave the Pistons a win they had to have – or as much as an early-December game can count as critical.
"That group played extremely well. They just turned the game, played great defense and held them to 19 points in the fourth quarter," Van Gundy said after the 102-91 win. "It wasn't numbers with those guys. It was just they played very, very well at both ends and we stuck with them to finish the game."
It was Ish Smith, playing the last 16 minutes and finishing with 10 assists and zero turnovers. And Darrun Hilliard, who scored nine points and hit a huge three with 7:28 to go to cap a 12-0 run and give the Pistons an eight-point lead. And Jon Leuer, who also went the final 16 minutes. And Aron Baynes, who played nearly 15 second-half minutes and finished with eight points and nine boards and did the bulk of his damage during that critical run.
"We had it rolling, so he just let us play," said Leuer, who contributed three points, three boards and a steal in a fourth quarter the Pistons won 31-19 after squandering a 17-point second-quarter lead and trailing by four after a Nikola Mirotic triple with 10:21 to play. "You appreciate that as a player when a group has it going like that, regardless if you're a bench player, a starter, whatever. If a group has it going, it's good to just let them ride it out."
That might come in especially useful to the Pistons on Wednesday in Charlotte, when they'll try to duplicate last week's 23-point win over the Hornets. Other than Tobias Harris, who played 40 minutes as the scoring anchor of the bench unit, Van Gundy's starters should be fresh – everyone from Reggie Jackson (18 minutes in his second game back from injury) to Andre Drummond (less than 25 minutes thanks to Baynes' work in relief).
"Coach is a great coach," Smith said. "He goes with who's hot, who's rolling. Our second team was rolling pretty well. Tomorrow night, our first team might roll and we might only play 20 minutes. But it's just all how the game goes. When you're a team, you rejoice in whoever's playing, who's out there rolling. And tonight, our second team played really well."
The first team played well enough early to give the Pistons a 51-34 lead with a little less than four minutes left in the first half. But with Van Gundy trying to protect Jackson, Drummond and Marcus Morris from a third foul before halftime, the Bulls – powered by free throws, mostly from Butler and Wade – closed on a 10-0 run. When they opened the third quarter on a 6-0 spurt, it was game on.
"At one point, it was 26-5 (attempts) on the line," Van Gundy said. "That was the whole thing that had gotten them in the lead, going to the free-throw line. We didn't do a real good job there."
Butler gave the Bulls 32 points in a whopping 43 minutes. When he went to the bench with 9:29 left in the game, Chicago held a 75-74 lead after Harris nailed a triple to answer Mirotic's. That launched the 12-0 Pistons run, six of those points coming in the 104 seconds Butler sat – the entirety of his second-half rest. Wade added 19 and together they made 19 of 20 free throws.
Hilliard and Leuer were a team-best plus-17 in their minutes, Baynes plus-16 and Smith plus-14. The depth Van Gundy built over the off-season, signing Smith and Leuer, continues to pay off. And Hilliard bounced back from a tough game in the loss to Orlando two nights earlier.
"Just shows that he trusts us. Just shows he has confidence in us," Hilliard said. "At any time when the starters aren't up to par, he knows he can go to the bench and we'll come out with energy."
"That's really hard for guys like Marcus, Andre and Reggie," Van Gundy said. "(Kentavious Caldwell-Pope) got back in, but for Marcus, Andre and Reggie, that's really hard. They are really good players and they want to be in those situations and it's tough for them. To me, it would've been hard to pull that group off of the floor, as well as they were playing. It's not like they were hanging in there or outplaying the other group. They were dominating that stretch and there was no way to break up that lineup."

Q: How can I put a line break in the text of an IF statement in a plain text email template? I am trying to put a line break inside of an IF statement within a plain text email template.
The template is like this:
Hi {!Receiving_User.FirstName},

{!IF(Receiving_User.Profile = "Desired Profile","Text will go here if the profile matches the desired profile. Want this line to be a new paragraph", "")}

I was accomplishing this with multiple IF statements on each line but I have multiple statements like this and if the desired profile does not match then each IF statement puts a blank line into the email and I have 8 of them so the email can end up looking like:

Hi User,         Text from first
  matching statement here.

I have tried putting a \n in the text and a BR() and also tried creating a Custom Label called NewLine with a value of - and then putting SUBSTITUTE($Label.NewLine, "-", "") in but not sure I have that in the code properly to determine if that will work.  I tried
{!IF(Receiving_User.Profile = "Desired Profile","Text will go here if the profile matches the desired profile." +SUBSTITUTE($Label.NewLine, "-", "")+ "I Want this line to be a new paragraph", "")}

A: Short answer: you can't. Normal plain text templates are incredibly limited in what they support; they only support a small subset of all the functions in the Formula help topic.
Instead, use a Visualforce email:
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Test" recipientType="User" >
<messaging:plainTextEmailBody >
<apex:outputText rendered="{!recipient.Profile.Name='Desired Profile'}">
Text will go here if the profile matches the desired profile.

I Want this line to be a new paragraph
</apex:outputText>
</messaging:plainTextEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

A: I had the same issue and found a way to do this (probably not perfect in code terms but it worked). Do not break line between all your if statement, instead enter a break line in your iftrue result right after the "
Your Example:
Hi {!Receiving_User.FirstName},

{!IF(Receiving_User.Profile = "Desired Profile","

Text will go here if the profile matches the desired profile. Want this line to be a new paragraph",
"")}{!IF(Receiving_User.Profile...

Enter your breakline before your "Iftrue" text so each time your statement is true it will break a line, enter all your IF statements inline so no further break line will be created

After reading up on the Bialy, I learned that they are a traditional Polish bread filled with a combination of garlic, onions, poppy seeds & bread crumbs. If you are interested, additional information on the Bialy can be found here.
When I made this sandwich my garden was bursting with fresh tomatoes, by the time you read this post the tomatoes in my garden will be hanging by a thread, luckily though the farmers at the market are still growing beautiful tomatoes, hopefully your tomato season lasts a little longer too! The only time I really enjoy eggplant is during the months of August and September, by the end of September I have eaten my weights worth in eggplant and need a bit if break from it until the following round of CSA eggplant next August & September. I really do believe sometimes too much of a good thing is not always good.
You can easily replace the red lettuce with any fall green you fancy; basil would also be amazing, looking back at my notes that is what I had originally intended on using, somehow red leaf lettuce made its way onto the sandwich and into the photo shoot! I'll let it slide, it really is quite pretty.
Alongside the Baily sandwich I ate my all time favorite soup; Avocado Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup. I kid you not, this is one of the easiest and most comforting soups I make, it is on heavy rotation in my kitchen year round - I have been known to eat an entire batch over the course of a couple hours- yes it is that good.
A little effort goes a long way for a quick and comforting weekend lunch or light weekday dinner. The entire meal took only about 20 minutes from start to finish. Nothing tastes better than a meal made with wholesome ingredients, homemade in your kitchen and comforting. If you haven't noticed, comfort has been a common theme in my posts, this is the time of year I simply want to wrap you all up in cozy sweaters and cuddle for a while.
What are your comfort foods this time of year?
Slice and salt your eggplant - place on a rimmed baking sheet lightly sprayed with olive oil. Place the eggplant on the baking sheet and spray the eggplant rounds with olive oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until eggplant it golden and soft. Remove from oven.
While eggplant is baking, slice your tomatoes, prep your lettuce and cut your buns. During the last 2 minutes of baking the eggplant, place the bialy rolls, cut side down in the oven to warm.
Remove baily's & eggplant from oven. Spread while grain mustard on each side of the bialy roll. Layer 3-4 slices of roasted eggplant, 3 slices of tomato and lettuce onto the bottom half of of the bialy, top with the other half of the roll. Repeat the process for the second Bialy.
Simplicity at it's best. These sandwiches look perfect.
No worries! If you can find a Bialy they are so worth it, they are my new obsession!
Most bagel shops carry bialys too.
bialy looks and sounds delightful! i want this sandwich in my belly.
I'm definitely trying this - I looooove eggplant sandwiches of pretty much any kind. Love!
Me too, this time of year; I am not so sure my answer will be the same at the end of September, I am usually egg planted out!
i havent tried this bialy before.looks like a perfect bread for this sandwich!
It really is the perfect bread for a sammie!
I've never had a bialy before -- thanks for introducing me to something new! It sounds delicious, and I love the eggplant and tomato together. I have NOT had my fill of eggplant yet, so I guess I better get me some! The weather has only just begun to turn cool here, and I'm already looking forward to having more soups and stews on the menu. I think a good bowl of soup with a hunk of crusty bread is some of my favorite comfort food!
Oh man; soups and chilis are my go to comfort food for the fall season- we have already started in on the comfort foods- the weather has been super chilly!
That is so sad! Maybe you have room for a garden on some sort?
We are so fortunate to have many Markets and farmers all within a sort drive from one another!
Yum! I love bialys! I lived in NY for 7 years and it's turned me into such a snob about bagels/bialys. You are so lucky to have someone who sells such delicious looking ones at your farmer's market!
Oh man you were so lucky to have lived in NY for 7 years!
So yummy sandwich. Looks very delicious food guide.

Great Food Club Guide Northamptonshire The Sourdough School
Member offer:
Free copy of The Sourdough School Book when you attend a course. Please mention you are a member when you book your course on 07707 480336 and show your card on arrival.
The Sourdough School was founded by Vanessa Kimbell, currently studying towards a PhD in Nutrition & Digestibility of Bread. Vanessa is both a student and a sourdough specialist, baker, award-winning author of the best-selling book The Sourdough School & regular contributor to BBC Radio 4. The school is situated in rural Northamptonshire.
What is The Sourdough School?
"A centre for sourdough research & education. We are deeply passionate about sharing knowledge and empowering people to bake bread that is both delicious and that nourishes."
"Our courses go far beyond just learning to make sourdough. They are about understanding every aspect of the process. From the soil to the milling process, the nutritional value of wheat, the history of bread, to the specific actions of the microbes. We also cover how fermentation transforms flour into a more nutritious bread, and how this bread nourishes not just us, but our gut microbiota."
"At The Sourdough School you learn how to make nourishing, delicious, open-crumb, nutritious, fermented bread, with a burnished crust & a classic soft wheaten sweet-sour flavour."
"You also learn about the microbes, from baking to digestion. Sourdough is the most ancient craft: it is about understanding the role of microbes from those you culture to make sourdough, to optimising the levels of nourishment for the microbes in your gut… known as the gut microbiome."
What levels do you cater for?
"We welcome all levels of students, from complete beginners wanting to make their very first loaf, to doctors, health-care practitioners, and seasoned bakers who simply want to expand their repertoire or further develop their skills."
How do you teach?
"Most of our teaching is online, but we also run five-day Sourdough Diploma classes each year. They are run from Vanessa's kitchen."
Vanessa says: "My philosophy at Sourdough is to have time to chat and to learn. A warm, friendly, relaxed environment is the best place to absorb new sourdough-baking skills, and that's exactly what my kitchen-classroom offers. I believe bakery courses should be fun. You will learn so many new skills, but also make new friends and laugh a lot."

Thread 1:

A: I met the same problem.
It seems -[UIInputViewSet restorableResponder] returns a wild pointer. This property is neither weak nor strong.
I added a symbol breakpoint to -[UIInputViewSet restorableResponder] and -[UIInputViewSet setRestorableResponder:], the assembly code shows they have neither store_weak nor store_strong code.
I used a workaround, hook -[UIInputViewSet restorableResponder] and return nil. Maybe it will cause another problem. But after testing it seems work well.

Q: ChromeDriver: Custom Chrome Executable Path I'm using the portable version of Google Chrome.
Since WebDriver expects the default installation path, it does not find the portable one which obviously is at another location:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.9.248315,platform=Windows NT 6.1 SP1 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 11.13 seconds
Build info: version: '2.35.0', revision: '8df0c6b', time: '2013-08-12 15:43:19'
System info: os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.8.0_05'
Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

How do I set a custom path to the chrome.exe file?

A: Nevermind, I found the answer myself:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("/path/to/chrome/binary");

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Chromedriver docs

A: Python version:
chromedriver = "/path/to/chromedriver"
options = Options()
options.binary_location = '/path/to/chrome'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver, chrome_options=options)

One of shooters at Damascus Gate was Palestinian policeman
PA security official and his companion were killed in gun battle Sunday after opening fire at group of Border Police officers

One of the two attackers who opened fire on security personnel in Jerusalem late Sunday, and was killed in the ensuing gun battle, was a Palestinian police officer, reports said Monday morning.
The policeman and his companion, carrying automatic weapons, shot at a group of Border Police officers who were receiving their nightly briefing before beginning patrols in the Old City's Damascus Gate area.
The Israeli officers fired back, hitting one assailant instantly and setting off in pursuit of the second, who was still shooting at the officers, police said.
The second attacker was soon hit and killed by police fire as well. There were no injuries among the Israeli officers or bystanders.

Both attackers were residents of the West Bank, police said. The Palestinian policeman was named as Omar Ahmed Amru, and the other as Mansur Yasser Shawamra.
No explosives were found on the gunmen's bodies or in the area, police said, after roping off the area over fears they could have been carrying bombs. Palestinian media reported that one Palestinian man was arrested in the area shortly after the incident.
The site of Sunday night's incident was the scene of a fatal attack on February 3, in which Border Police officer Hadar Cohen, 19, was killed in a Palestinian shooting and stabbing attack. The attackers in that incident had carried pipe bombs to the site of the attack.
Sunday's shooting came on the tail end of a particularly bloody day that saw a significant uptick in Palestinian attacks, as a nearly five-month-old wave of violence seemed to return to full force, with five Palestinians being killed amid a series of attacks on Israeli targets.

Earlier Sunday night, shots were fired at a house in the West Bank settlement of Beit El, causing damage but no injuries. Security forces were investigating the incident and searching the area. A bullet penetrated the window of a residential home, according to initial reports. No injuries were reported.
The gunfire may have come from the nearby Palestinian village of Jalazoun, authorities said.
The gunfire followed three separate attempted stabbing attacks Sunday.

Earlier in the evening, Border Police officers thwarted an attempted stabbing near the Tomb of the Patriarchs shrine in the West Bank city of Hebron, police said. The alleged assailant, a Palestinian girl initially identified as 14 years old, was shot and critically wounded.
In the afternoon, a Palestinian man was shot and killed after trying to stab officers at a checkpoint south of Jerusalem.
On Sunday morning, two Palestinian teens near Jenin in the northern West Bank were shot and killed after opening fire on security forces who were responding to reports of stone throwers in the area.
