Q: Do all the Monk's damage boosting abilities stack? I play as a Monk, and I have two pocket Wizards to kill things for me. Or put another way, my two Wizard friends have a pocket Monk, to keep mobs away from them and apply juicy damage debuffs.
Anyway, we were wondering, do all the Monk's damage-boosting debuffs stack? Specifically:

*

*Crippling Wave with Breaking Wave: +10% damage to mobs I hit

*Inner Sanctuary with Forbidden Palace: +30% damage to mobs in the sanctuary

*Mantra of Conviction with Overawe: +16% damage to mobs around me

Do all these abilities work together, so that mobs could be taking an extra 56% damage?

A: Sometimes, the answer to your question is provided by Mother Blizzard itself (just look at the "advanced" tootip on each ability), some other times, they need a little bit of testing.

*

*Crippling Wave - Breaking Wave (YES):
Enemies hit by Crippling Wave take 10% additional damage from all attacks for 3 seconds.

*Inner Sanctuary - Forbidden Palace (YES):
I play as a Monk since Diablo 3 was out, until now. I can confirm that the damage boost is significant, as reported by my fellow players.

*Mantra of Conviction - Overawe (YES)
Same as point 2. The Mantra makes the monk invaluable for a party, due to its 16% to 20% damage boost!

So the answer is yes, if your enemies are hit by your crippling wave AND within your sanctuary AND within the AOE of your Mantra take 56% up to 60% damage (if you also activate the active ability of the Mantra).
Hope this helps!


I haven't been a very active Blogger of late, but every now and again I get requests for items which pique my interest, and here's one of them. Fete's are still a big activity throughout Brisbane, and one of the oldest State School's in Brisbane is having their fete this upcoming Mother's Day weekend on Saturday the 7th May.
Ashgrove State School was established way back in 1877, thirty five years after Brisbane became a free settlement. It has a long and proud history with a strong community spirit. The fun and success of the fete is based on local sponsorship, generous support and many hours of volunteer commitment. During the build up to the Fete and on Fete day, there is a noticeable feel of this community spirit. Ashgrove is about 4km out of the central business district of Brisbane, so heading out to the school fete isn't a difficult activity for most Brisbanites!
Fetes in Australia have a great history, particularly as a celebration of school activities each year. At Ashgrove this year the fete runs from 9:00am to 5:00pm, with a range of fun activities to suit everyone's taste. If you want action, there is plenty of family fun to be had on rides such as the Dominator, Dodgem Cars, Sizzler, Giant Slide, Tea Cups, High Flyer, Mega Castle, Laser Skirmish and UFO and many more. For a scary thrill, you could try the Ghost House and for the little ones there will be Barnyard Babies and pony rides. If this sounds like hungry and thirsty fun, you won't be disappointed! There will be the traditional fete favourites, home-made cakes, jams, sweets and morning tea, as well as gourmet pizza's, hot dogs, burgers and hot chips.
Entertainment includes dancing, singing, and performances by the school bands. For Dad's and kids who have forgotten Mothers Day, there are Flowers and gifts available, or why not grab a bargain at the incredibly popular Fete Auction.
Hi! That looks absolutely fantastic, I'm pretty sad I didn't make it there myself. I love this website and wanted to congratulate you on it. It's so well put together and really informative. I am trying to do a similar thing with my new Brisbane lifestyle blog called 'Brisbane Basics', but am not quite there yet. Keep it up!
Very fantastic and well-written post.Its extremely good and very helpful for me.
Subsequently, after spending many hours on the internet for network support brisbane at last We've uncovered an individual that definitely does know what they are discussing many thanks a great deal wonderful post.

Home » Issues » July 1998 » Modern times
Unpredictability was what we wanted from Formula One's new rules. But as Michael Schumacher took his 51st pole in Melbourne, and F1's first-ever one-shot qualifying resolved itself into an all-Ferrari front row, the Australian Grand Prix was looking depressingly predictable.
We needn't have worried. Barely 24 hours later we were mulling over a fascinating and complex race, in which four drivers shared seven changes of lead, and five different chassis finished in the top six. We were celebrating McLaren's leap to the top of the world constructors' championship. And we were contemplating the extraordinary sight of Ferrari languishing in fourth place in the table, after the first grand prix finish without a red-overalled driver on the podium since 1999.
So can Max Mosley and his rule changes take all the credit for spring cleaning F1? Not quite. What did more than the new rules to turn this race upside down was the changeable weather. A pre-race shower and overcast skies encouraged some teams to opt for wet weather tyres (McLaren) and others for intermediates (Ferrari), when in fact a rapidly drying track surface meant that dry rubber was the correct choice. McLaren rescued itself more adroitly from this bad call than Ferrari did, while Williams' wise choice of grooved slicks was hobbled by two safety car periods, and then Montoya's spin when he was leading.
I've already said that Max deserves loud applause for his determination to use radical solutions to get to the heart of F1's maladies: but, with the hindsight provided by one race so far, the recipe may not be quite right yet. Meanwhile Ron Dennis and Frank Williams are taking the FIA to arbitration for bringing in the changes without due notice and discussion, a wearisome process which will grind on until the middle of next season, by which time the world will have moved on anyway. But, more pragmatically, it has been agreed that the Formula One Commission will meet again after the three fly-away races to re-evaluate the changes and see if any adjustments can be agreed with Mosley for the common good.
There's no doubt that the reduction of high-tech driver aids, which will really come in for July's British Grand Prix, is all to the good. I look forward avidly to the introduction next season of smaller, FIA-supplied wings. And I am all for preventing bespoke 'one-lap-wonder' qualifying cars. I also believe that, in principle, one-shot qualifying should make an exciting and climactic pre-race spectacle — as it already does in Indycar.
The trouble is that, in Melbourne at least, it didn't. Because of the parc fermé system, which prevents any but the most basic attention to the cars between qualifying and the race, there was a general air of caution running throughout that grid-deciding session. No refuelling between qualifying and the race, remember, so race strategies had to be more or less decided beforehand. With different cars running different fuel loads, it was hard to identify the storming performances — and, because no-one wanted to risk damaging his car, few of the performances looked particularly storming.
The refuelling ban is an unashamed effort to jumble up the grid — which in Australia it certainly achieved. But somewhere in all of that the once-great spectade of qualifying has become less of a test of man and machine and more of a game of poker, which is a cause for regret. In the past, qualifying has often given us some of the best entertainment of an F1 weekend. No-one who saw it will forget Keke Rosberg's superhuman lap of Silverstone in 1985, which left the old circuit's record for all time at 160mph. If Keke's fuel loads had been compromised by race strategy for the morrow, it wouldn't have been quite the same. The refuelling ban will certainly be on the teams' agenda for the meeting after Brazil.
But if Saturday in Melbourne was a mild disappointment, Sunday was marvellous, and we saw a great motor race. Last year's Ferrari, with Michael Schumacher at the wheel, is still the car to beat, but in Melbourne both Schumacher and strategy king Ross Brawn got it a bit wrong for a change. The world champion damaged his car clouting a kerb, as a result of which his barge boards fell off, although he adapted brilliantly to the changes in his car's handling and lost little pace. Brawn, for his part, missed the chance to switch strategy and load up the Ferrari with fuel when Schumacher had to come in for dry tyres on lap 7. He thus needed one more stop than the McLarens during the race.
McLaren, by contrast, thought fast, and brought Kimi Raikkonen in for dry tyres at the end of the parade lap, accepted the downside that he would have to start from the pitlane — and refuelled him. Coulthard came in for dry tyres and fuel at the end of lap 3, and then settled down to a flawless drive which displayed all his experience and level-headedness. It was Raikkonen who gave us the fireworks, at one point hanging onto the lead by elbowing Michael Schumacher brusquely onto the grass; but it was DC who was there when the flag fell. However, Kimi cannot be blamed for the drive-through penalty that cost him the race. The McLaren's rev-limiter had him 1.1km/h over the speed limit for the first 10 metres of the pitlane. As we said after his magnificent battle with Schumacher at Magny-Cours last year, Kimi's day will come, and come soon.
That rev-limiter robbed us of the shock result of a grand prix being won by a car that started from the pitlane. As it was, David's 11th on the grid is the lowliest starting position for a race winner for some while. Michael Schumacher won Spa for Benetton in 1995 from 16th on the grid, but the drive up the field that will always stay with me was another McLaren effort: John Watson at Detroit in 1982. Helped by exactly the right rubber, 'Wattie' came storming through from 17th to win, overtaking cars right and left. (His four McLaren victories were scored from fifth, 12th, 17th and 22nd places on the grid, the latter being at Long Beach in 1983.)
This opening grand prix provided much encouraging food for thought. Mercedes has taken a big step forward in horsepower and, even before its new car appears, McLaren has a far better package than at this time last year. Williams, the only one of the top three teams to have its new car in Melbourne, showed much better than its European test sessions augured. Renault was also impressive, and Fernando Alonso is going to be every bit as good as the pundits predicted. BAR's new Honda engine is clearly hugely powerful, and Jenson Button showed himself to be quicker in race conditions than his disdainful teammate Jacques Villeneuve. Button's race was ruined by Villeneuve missing his pitstop and coming in on Button's lap instead, so Jenson had to sit behind him in the pitlane as if in a toll-booth queue. Jacques' excuse was that he could not hear his radio — but inevitably the cynics are wondering if it was a deliberate act. If so, David Richards should jump on Jacques, and fast. Jenson was furious after the race, but his track performance shows the psychological edge within the team is swinging his way.
In many ways, it's harder to make it into your second year of F1 than it is to get into F1 in the first place. Only one of last year's rookies, Mark Webber, is still on the grid (although in the case of Allan McNish that's an injustice). Among this year's crop, da Matta and Pizzonia were lacklustre in Melbourne. Ralph Firman's accident would have looked even worse for him if Rubens Barrichello hadn't done the same thing at the same place moments earlier. Meanwhile, despite an almost total lack of testing and no qualifying time, Justin Wilson did a first-class job for Minardi until the car failed him. On intermediate tyres and a damp track he was tremendously brave in the opening laps, briefly holding an astonishing ninth place. Of all of them he had by far the best debut.
It's a nice irony that the man whose team garnered the most from the new regime first time out was its loudest critic, Ron Dennis. All credit to him and his team for setting aside their complaints when the time came to go to work, and getting on with the job to such excellent effect.
By the time you read this, the story from Malaysia may be rather different. I admit I'd still put money on Michael Schumacher winning his fourth title on the trot this year. But we're going to have a lot of good racing to watch before he does.

An Apostolical Harmony of the Gospels: Founded Upon the Most Ancient Opinion ...
By Lant Carpenter
"record that he is analyzing, the history of the Son of God that he is "illustrating."
The first edition of this work was completed at the close of 1835. More subscribers' names were given in, than I could supply from the number of copies printed; and it was not published. I published, however, a small impression of the Dissertations separately; and copies of these, and still more of the Harmony, I transmitted to Clergymen, and Dissenting Ministers, whose attention, I supposed, might have been directed to the subject; soliciting the statement of any objections to my Arrangement which they deemed of weight. I hoped that some or other of them would undertake to review the work in the British Critic, the Eclectic Review, or other theological publications. In this last expectation, I have hitherto been disappointed; and I have had few strictures on my Arrangement. I have received from several quarters, out of my own religious denomination, expressions of great satisfaction with the argument in the First Dissertation; but as yet I have seen no examination of the Harmony, except in those periodicals from which a favourable opinion was most to be anticipated. Whatever has been suggested by these, or by private communications, has received my thankful attention.
My brethren in Boston and its neighbourhood had, before the completion of this work, been prepared to give it a favourable reception. The Introduction to the Geography of the New Testament, first published in 1806, in which I had given an outline of our Saviour's Ministry on the principles developed in this volume, had been repeatedly reprinted in the United States; and in 1830, the Rev. Dr. Palfrey, now Professor of Biblical Literature in Harvard University, at Cambridge, near Boston, published a Harmony of the Gospels, expressly founded on that arrangement. At a
To one of these, the Rev. T. Hartwell Horne, I am indebted for the knowledge of a remarkable work published at Copenhagen, Quatuor Evangeliorum Tabulæ Synopticæ, by H. N. Clausen, Professor of Theology in that University. The sections are arranged according to the Author's judgment of the order of events; and there are numerous observations which the biblical student would find worth consulting. The Preface, containing a view of the history of Harmonies, of the use of such works, and of the encouragement to undertake them, is very interesting and valuable. I retain a grateful sense of Mr. Horne's liberal-minded urbanity, in his communications respecting Clausen's work, and his long-continued loan of it.
later period, the Rev. Dr. Henry Ware, Jun., Professor of Pastoral Theology in the Divinity College of that University, made it the foundation of his interesting and instructive Life of the Saviour, reprinted in this country. And when my first edition was just completed, I saw another indication of the extensive reception of my arrangement among scripturalists in the United States, in the adoption of it in Questions on Select Portions of the Four Evangelists, by the Rev. Joseph Allen, of Northboro', Mass. 6th Ed. Boston: 1834.-I thankfully rejoice in all this; for I believe that the effect of my system of arrangement on the minds of intelligent scripturalists, at least if not pre-occupied by any other system, will generally correspond with that expressed to me by my much valued American friend, the Rev. F. W. P. Greenwood, Minister of King's Chapel, Boston. "I am", he says, "a firm believer in the Bipaschal system, which I "admire for its simplicity, and delight in for its distinctness. It gives me a clear view of the course of our Saviour's ministry, and has in this way "added much to my spiritual happiness." So it has to my own.
I have, at different times, been occupied in drawing up narratives, some extending over a life, others involving the guilt or innocence of individuals in particular circumstances, and one respecting a most eventful and crowded period of a few days; and, in the latter case especially, from a variety of conflicting documents, and other sources of evidence; and I cannot but believe that the habits of judging, on such subjects, to which I have thus and otherwise been trained, have been, in this work, of peculiar aid for the attaining of an accordance with reality. In the leading, and indeed in all essential points, I have a strong conviction that I have attained that accordance. I cheerfully hope that this volume will aid others in the contemplation, and lead some to the dutiful study, of the work and character of him, whom to know, as we may know, is to love and to revere: under a sense of responsibility to him, I have pursued this, the most interesting labour in which I was ever engaged, and have already had an ample reward and I now humbly commend it to the blessing of his God and Father.
Bristol, June 13, 1838.
Notice of the Variations between this and the First Edition.
Whatever alterations in the translation, or in the arrangement of the passages for comparison, the Author thought likely to render his work more useful to the Scripturalist, he has deemed it a duty to make; and in every other way in which he believed he could improve it, whether in the Harmony itself, or in the Dissertations, he has done all in his power to bring it into a state in which he might leave it, with satisfaction to himself, to prepare other works which he has for many years had in contemplation.
He is solicitons, therefore, that the present Edition should be regarded as the basis for critical strictures.
Nevertheless the essential advantages, both of the Harmony and the Dissertations, remain unaffected; and he has printed separately, for the Subscribers to the former Edition, a Supplement containing such altered portions as could be so given, with a statement of the leading changes made in the present Edition. As far as respects the arrangement of the evangelical records, these are sufficiently noticed in pp. 40 and 188, with one exception, viz. the transfer of Luke xxii. 17, 18, from the Section on the Lord's Supper, to its position in the Gospel, for the reason stated in note §, p. 236.
Among the additional matter, given in the above-mentioned Supplement, are the Notices of the Seasons and Weather in Palestine, contained in the following Dissertations, p. cxxviii. When the main principles of the subsequent Arrangement were ascertained, their adaptation to the facts stated in that page was not at all considered : indeed several of the most important, in relation to the intensity of the summer heat, were not then known to the Author.
In the First Dissertation various passages have been omitted which seemed to be of a temporary nature, and to partake too much of the character of personal controversy: these principally respect the Dissertations upon a Harmony of the Gospels, by the Rev. Edward Greswell, M. A., and The Chronology of our Saviour's Life, by the Rev. C. Benson, M. A. It has been the Author's solicitous aim to adapt the work to general and permanent usefulness, having great confidence that, directly or indirectly, it will eventually produce a material change in the views of Scripturalists on the topics which it embraces.

Cybersecurity Twistlock will establish a Global Solutions Engineering Center in Baton Rouge
Written by Bayoubuzz Staff
Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards and Twistlock CEO Ben Bernstein announced that the company will establish a Global Solutions Engineering Center in Baton Rouge. Twistlock is a cybersecurity firm, Twistlock will create 20 new direct jobs with an average salary of $90,000, plus benefits. Additionally, Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will result in 23 new indirect jobs, for a total of more than 40 new jobs in Louisiana's Capital Region.
Twistlock develops security platforms for cloud-native environments and software containers, which allow developers to reliably run software systems when moving them from one computing environment to another. The Twistlock platform is designed to prevent attacks against software container applications and other digital resources. Additionally, the platform provides functionality to scan for vulnerabilities in software containers and other cloud-native systems.
"As Louisiana's digital media and software development industry expands, it not only grows by the number of new jobs and new companies, but also in the sophistication of services offered," Gov. Edwards said. "Twistlock's entry into Louisiana's Capital Region confirms this growth and diversification. It demonstrates how our state is prepared to support the organizations that are addressing tomorrow's needs today. Cybersecurity and the protection of cloud-based resources are a growing necessity for a wide variety of industries, and we are proud that Twistlock will create new jobs and address this issue from right here in Baton Rouge."
Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Twistlock will develop its Baton Rouge office at the LSU Innovation Park. Twistlock has additional operations in New York, London and Herzliya, Israel. From financial services to healthcare, Twistlock serves a wide range of industry segments, and the company is instrumental in providing security resources for leading brands, including Aetna, Workiva, GridSpace and Pager Duty.
"We selected Baton Rouge and Louisiana for our engineering center because of the state's growing cybersecurity industry base, the business-friendly climate, and the opportunity to develop a talent pipeline with a major research university in LSU," Bernstein said. "We help protect some of the most sophisticated cloud environments at many of the world's largest companies and governments, and we're proud to call Louisiana one of our global homes."
Twistlock was founded in 2015 and has had team members in Louisiana from the beginning. The new engineering center, led by Chief Technology Officer John Morello, is the fifth global office for the company. The office will provide Twistlock with additional development of the automation and machine-learning tools that drive its application security platform. That focus will enhance its leadership of the container and cloud-native cybersecurity field.
"We are pleased that yet again, a fast-growing tech company with international operations has chosen to base their operations in Baton Rouge," said East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome. "The fact that they've attracted Polaris Ventures and Dell Technologies Capital Ventures as leading investors in their company is a testament to the innovation of their product and their aggressive growth model. We look forward to their continued success in Baton Rouge and to the high-quality employment opportunities they will provide to our region's tech graduates."
LED began discussions with Twistlock in February 2018. To secure the company's office in Baton Rouge, the State of Louisiana offered a competitive incentive package that includes the services of LED FastStart® – the nation's No. 1-ranked state workforce development program. The company also is expected to utilize Louisiana's Digital Interactive Media and Software Development Incentive and the Quality Jobs Program.
"We are excited that this international company has chosen Baton Rouge for the home of its Global Solutions Engineering Center," said President and CEO Adam Knapp of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber. "Not only does this announcement represent an expansion of our growing tech sector, but it also brings further collaboration between LSU and the business community, ensuring that our pipeline of talent is robust and well-trained for meaningful careers in computer science. The BRAC team has been pleased to assist Twistlock through this process, and welcomes them to our community."
"The LSU Innovation Park is excited about having Twistlock as a new tenant in our university research park," said Executive Director Charlie D'Agostino of LSU Innovation Park. "We are offering Twistlock full access to all the resources of the park and LSU, including student interns, access to faculty and graduates, and collaboration with the cybersecurity and computing science experts at LSU. This will give us an opportunity to show Twistlock the strong research and academic base at LSU that can be a significant factor in their growth."

The cell phone I ban I previously blogged about HERE has gone into effect, making American roads a little safer for 2012. This is not a complete ban, hands free devices are still allowed.
The American Trucking Association (ATA) has posted its interpretation of the rule HERE.
This is a great step in protecting everyone on the road. I feel that this should be ban across the board for all drivers in all states. If this happened, you would see a huge drop in accidents.
Until that time comes around, small victory's like this only fuel the reasoning on banning all cell phones while driving in all vehicles. It only makes sense to do it.

During the day, it may seem like a quaint southern town, but Savannah, Georgia, is purportedly one of America's most haunted cities. The city's ghostly reputation may be related to the bloody Civil War, the yellow fever epidemics of 1820 and 1876, or the numerous murders that took place throughout its history. These chilling tales make Savannah the perfect backdrop for ghost tours. Below, you'll find eight of the best tours in town, compiled using both expert input and traveler sentiment. These tours cater to all crowds, from families with kids to those who want a little liquid courage before they seek the paranormal.
Ghost City Tours – Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl
This adults-only (21 and older) evening pub crawl takes travelers to some of the city's most haunted pubs and taverns. During the roughly two-hour tour, guides share creepy tales about each bar stop. You'll also hear stories of murder and hoodoo. Thanks to Savannah's lack of open container laws, you can take an alcoholic beverage with you and imbibe along the way. Most reviewers say the tour provides a fun outing and the ghost stories are entertaining. Others complain of busy bars and expensive drinks. Tours run daily starting at 9 p.m. Tickets cost approximately $25 per person. For a more family-friendly experience, consider the company's Grave Tales Tour.

Genteel & Bard – Ghost Encounter Tour
This spine-chilling experience will take you to some of Savannah's most haunted locales. Over the course of two hours, a local guide will take groups of no more than 24 people through the city, spinning tales about Colonial Park Cemetery and the Sorrel Weed House, among other historic landmarks. As an added bonus, the guide wears a microphone and each tour-goer receives their own personal earbuds with a wireless receiver so that they don't miss one scary story. Reviewers mention that guides are passionate, entertaining and great storytellers. They also appreciate the earbuds as there is never an issue with hearing. Genteel & Bard offers its ghost tour at 7 and 9:30 p.m. daily. Tickets start at $25 per person. The company also offers history walking tours of Savannah.
Blue Orb Savannah Ghost Tours – Savannah Shadows
Blue Orb's Savannah Shadows tour is based on the book of the same name written by the company's founder, Tobias McGriff. This 90-minute tour is suitable for all ages and stops at locations known for their paranormal activity, such as the Hanging Square (generally known as Wright Square). Tickets cost approximately $25. Tours are typically offered Wednesday through Sunday at 8 p.m. Many reviewers comment that the tour offers the right mix of history and storytelling, along with chilling details. Others say that though the tales are spooky, they aren't too scary for kids. For a real thrill, the company offers an adults-only Zombie Tour that focuses on the voodoo concept of the walking undead.
Savannah Ghostwalker Tour
During this 2 1/2-hour tour, guides (or "ghostwalkers") lead you down live oak-lined streets past haunted antebellum homes to battlefields and hidden cemeteries where paranormal events are a common occurrence. As you walk, ghostwalkers recount the scary stories of Savannah's eerie past. You can even search for otherworldly activity with your own "ghost-hunting" equipment. Travelers enjoy guides' ability to highlight the city's historical facts in their ghost stories. Visitors also say that the electromagnetic field meters add a fun twist to the tour. Tours run nightly at 9 p.m. Tickets start at $35 per person. Savannah Ghostwalker limits its tours to 15 people.
Old Town Trolley Tours – Ghost and Gravestones Tour
On the Ghosts and Gravestones trolley tour, you'll drive by cemeteries, squares and mansions known for their ghostly residents. Along the way, you'll visit two of Savannah's most haunted locales: the Andrew Low House and Perkins & Sons Ship Chandlery. The chandlery is located on River Street, which is considered a hotbed of paranormal activity. According to some reviewers, the tour guide's theatrics are cheesy rather than scary. Travelers also warn the chandlery is set up like a haunted house, so you'll want to prepare young children for some startling surprises. The company rates its tour PG-13, though several reviewers say it's family-friendly. Children must be 6 or older, and no one younger than 12 can ride without the supervision of an adult. Tickets start at $33 for adults and $16 for children ages 6 to 12. The company also offers one- and two-day trolley sightseeing tours during the day.
Creepy Crawl Haunted Pub Tour
This walking tour claims to be Savannah's oldest haunted pub tour. During the roughly 2 1/2-hour tour, you'll stop at four or more drinking establishments known for their paranornmal activity. Grab a beverage to go and sip them as you visit pubs and hear ghoulish tales about some of the city's notable haunted sites. Most reviewers enjoy the experience and find the guides entertaining. However, a few remark that it is difficult to hear the guides in a loud bar setting. Tickets cost approximately $25 per person and participants must be 21 or older. Tickets do not include alcoholic beverages. If you're traveling with children, the company offers family-friendly 90-minute ghost tours.
Hearse Ghost Tours
Drive through Savannah's spookiest cemeteries and pass through parts of the Historic District known for ghostly activity in an open-air hearse once used by funeral parlors. The hearses accommodate nine tour-goers: eight people in the cab and one up front with the driver. Some reviewers say the guides are funny and entertaining, while others complain the stories lack depth and are not scary. Tours, which last a little more than an hour, are offered at 6, 8 and 10 p.m. daily and have several pickup locations around Savannah. Rates start at $20 for adults and $12 for children 10 and younger.
Shannon Scott Tours – Bonaventure Cemetery After Hours Tour
What could be more spine-chilling than being locked behind the gates of Bonaventure Cemetery? On this after-hours cemetery tour, you'll spend an evening listening to humorous and macabre tales of romance and death featuring the city's most notable deceased residents. Reviewers rave about this tour and guide Shannon Scott's storytelling ability: many travelers find him mesmerizing. Tours run Saturdays at 5 p.m. and last approximately three hours. Tickets start at around $45 per person. Prefer to explore the cemetery while it's still light out? The company also offers cemetery tours during the day.

NEW YORK – The Latest on the Grammy Awards (all times local):
Billie Eillish has won the Grammy Award for record of the year for the second straight year.
The 19-year-old Eillish won on Sunday night for "Everything I Wanted," a year after winning it for "Bad Guy."
Eillish appeared genuinely stunned accepting the award, saying, "This is really embarrassing for me."
She told fellow nominee Megan Thee Stallion, "Megan, girl, I was going to write a speech about how you deserve this, but then I was like 'There was no way they're going to choose me.'"
She also beat fellow nominees Beyoncé, Black Pumas, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa and Post Malone.
It was a night women made history as Beyoncé and Taylor Swift hit milestones.
MORE ON THE GRAMMYS
— The Grammys are drunk in love with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: the singers both made history at the 2021 show.
— Doja Cat went for neon feathers and DaBaby brightened up the Grammys in a bright mustard and green floral suit as music's big night offered a luxe fashion moment for the stars.
— Kanye West, Fiona Apple, Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé along with her daughter, Blue Ivy, are among some of the winners at the Grammy Awards.
— A peek behind the masks and precautious at the Grammys
Taylor Swift will go down in Grammy lore.
Swift's album "folklore" won the Grammy Award for album of the year on Sunday night, making her the first female artist to win the award three times.
She also won it in 2010 for her album "Fearless," and again in 2015 for "1989."
Swift's "folklore" won over nominated albums by Jhené Aiko, Black Pumas, Coldplay, Jacob Collier, HAIM, Dua Lipa and Post Malone.
Accepting the award, Swift said "we just want to thank the fans, you guys met us in this imaginary world that we created, and we can't tell you how honored we are forever."
She also thanked her collaborators, Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, as well as her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, saying he turned writing songs during a pandemic fun.
Beyoncé has just won her 28th Grammy, making her the winningest woman in Grammy history.
Beyoncé broke the record with her victory Sunday night for best R&B performance for "Black Parade," surpassing the 27 Grammys won by Alison Krauss.
She had tied the record just minutes earlier when she won best rap song with Megan Thee Stallion for "Savage."
She won another Grammy with daughter Blue Ivy for best music video earlier Sunday.
Accepting the award on the outdoor stage at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Beyoncé said "this is so overwhelming, I've been working my whole life, since 9 years old, I can't believe this happened, it's such a magical night."
Dua Lipa's "Future Nostalgia" has won the Grammy for best pop vocal album.
It's the third Grammy for the English-born singer-songwriter, who won best new artist at the 2019 Grammy Awards and whose performance of "Levitating" from "Future Nostalgia" aired early in the show.
Accepting the award on Monday night, she said, "One thing I've really come to realize is how much happiness is so important. I felt really jaded after my last album where I felt like I had to make sad music to feel like it mattered. I'm so grateful and so honored, because happiness is something that we all deserve."
Dua Lipa won over albums by Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift.
She thanked her managers, who have been with her since she was 17, her label and her team. "This is insane," she said. "This means so much."
The Grammy for best rap song goes to "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé, giving Beyoncé a record-tying 27th Grammy.
With the total, Beyoncé matched Alison Krauss as the woman who has won the most Grammys, and may surpass Krauss later Sunday night.
Megan Thee Stallion accepted the award minutes after her head-turning performance of "W.A.P." with Cardi B aired on the show. She praised all the nominees, saying, "Music really helped a lot of us get through the pandemic."
Megan, who earlier was crowned best new artist, thanked Beyoncé for her role in the song, saying "When I was little, I wanted to grow up to be the rap Beyoncé."
Beyoncé jumped on the mic to say, "I just want to quickly give my love to Megan," adding "I have so much respect for you" and thanked her for inviting to contribute to the track.
H.E.R.'s "I Can't Breathe" has won song of the year at the Grammys.
The song with its Black Lives Matter themes won the songwriter's award Sunday night over songs by superstars including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Billie Eillish.
H.E.R. shared the award with co-writers Dernst Emile II and Tiare Thomas.
As she accepted she said, "I've never been so proud to be an artist. We wrote this song over FaceTime, and I didn't imagine that my fear and my pain would turn into impact and it would possibly turn into change."
H.E.R. previously won Grammys for best R&B performance and best R&B album.
Bruno Mars celebrated Little Richard, Lionel Richie honored Kenny Rogers and Brandi Carlile paid tribute to John Prine during an in memoriam segment on the Grammy Awards that featured an especially long list of names after a year of the coronavirus pandemic.
Mars, joined by Anderson .Paak blazed through Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly." Richie sang "Lady," the ballad he wrote and Rogers made a hit adding, "I miss you Kenny" as he ended.
And Carlile sang "I Remember Everything" for Prine, one of the artists lost in 2020 to the coronavirus, along with Charley Pride, K.T. Oslin, Adam Schlesiner, Trini Lopez and many others.
The performances were interspersed between montages of the names and faces of the dead.
Host Trevor Noah introduced the segment by telling viewers they can see the names of nearly 1,000 people in the music industry who died last year at Grammys.com.
Brittany Howard, backed up by Chris Martin on piano, ended the tribute with a stirring version of the Broadway standard "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Harry Styles has won his first Grammy, taking for best pop solo performance for "Watermelon Sugar."
Styles accepted the award Sunday night for the song that he also performed to open the show, dressed in a leather suit and a feather boa. He's nominated for two more Grammys on Sunday night.
Styles topped fellow nominees Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift.
The former One Direction member has put out two solo albums and his sophomore effort is called "Fine Lines." It also contains the song "Lights Up."
Taylor Swift performed at the Grammys for the first time in five years, singing a medley of songs from her albums "evermore" and "folklore" in a mystical woodland-and-cabin setting.
Swift sang "Cardigan," "August" and "Willow" on Sunday night, starting while lying on a faux-grassy hillside with trees and projected fireflies behind her in a gold gown and headpiece that had echoes of a forest fairy. She made her way into a cabin where she picked up a guitar and was backed up by collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner.
The audience-free scene was set up on a stage inside the Los Angeles Convention Center, where most of the performances were pre-recorded this week because of pandemic precautions, though the show is presenting all of the performers as though they were live.
Swift is nominated for six Grammys on Sunday including album of the year for "folklore." A win would make her the first woman to take the award three times.
Just before her performance, Miranda Lambert won best country album, a Grammy previously won by Swift, in a category that was nearly all women.
Lambert's "Nightfall" beat out albums by Ingrid Andress, Brandy Clark, Little Big Town and Ashley McBryde.
The Grammys are spotlighting some of the nation's best-known music clubs that were forced to close their doors because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Representatives from the Station Inn in Nashville, the Troubadour and Hotel Café in Los Angeles, and the Apollo Theater in New York were chosen to present trophies during Sunday night's show. Each of the venues holds a unique place in music.
JT Gray from the Station Inn, known for its bluegrass tradition, will announce the best country album. Rachelle Erratchu of the Troubadour, where Elton John made his U.S. debut in 1970, will hand out the best pop solo performance trophy.
Billy Mitchell of the Apollo, famed for its amateur nights, will award the best rap song. Candice Fox of the Hotel Café, known for featuring acoustic-based songwriters, will announce album of the year.
Megan Thee Stallion has won best new artist at the Grammy Awards.
The 26-year-old became just the fifth rapper to win the award, which she accepted in person on the outdoor stage Sunday night, tearing up before she even began talking.
The award was the first one handed out during the telecast, but Megan Thee Stallion had already won a Grammy earlier Sunday for "Savage," her hit that features Beyoncé.
The song is also nominated for best rap song and record of the year.
She beat out fellow nominees Ingrid Andress, Phoebe Bridgers, Chika, Noah Cyrus, D Smoke, Doja Cat and Kaytranada.
Megan Thee Stallion had a monster musical year that also brought unwanted attention when she was shot in the foot. Rapper Tory Lanez has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the shooting.
"It's been a hell of a year, but we made it," she said.
Trevor Noah opened the pandemic-altered 63rd annual Grammy Awards on an outdoor stage in front of a sparse crowd outside the Los Angeles Convention Center, with the Grammy's usual home, the Staples Center, as a backdrop.
"We have made the decision to socially distance from the Staples Center," the host said. "This is not a Zoom background."
Noah walked inside the Convention Center during his presentation, where the show's performances, many of them pre-recorded, will be broadcast from.
On four stages that face one other in the audience-free room, he introduced Black Pumas, HAIM, Billie Eillish and Harry Styles, who began the night's music with a rendition of his "Watermelon Sugar."
The song is among the nominees for best pop vocal performance, one of three nominations for the ex-One Direction singer.
He performed with a full band wearing a black leather sports coat with no shirt underneath, and a green feather boa.
Eillish, who dominated last year's Grammys, immediately followed with a performance of "Everything I Wanted." The three sisters of HAIM played immediately after Eillish.
Jacob Collier says he recorded his Grammy-nominated album in the same North London home "where I learned to walk as a 1-year-old."
Before Sunday's Grammy Awards at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Collier told The Associated Press that "Djesse Vol. 3," which is nominated for album of the year, is the fourth he has recorded in his music room there.
Collier said: "I produced it by myself and I played the instruments on the album and I wrote the songs and arranged it and mixed it and stuff. But I mean, really it was just an experiment."
He says the acclaim for the album and the nomination came "completely out of the blue" and it's surreal to "be among these giants, these legends of the industry.
Collier's fellow nominees in the category include Taylor Swift and Post Malone.
— Marcela Isaza at the Grammy Awards (@misaza)
Noah Cyrus says it's "been a roller coaster of tears" to be nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards while dealing with the loss of her grandmother.
The 21-year-old Cyrus told The Associated Press before Sunday's Grammy Awards that she had already been thinking of Loretta "Mammie" Finley, who died in August, when "someone said, 'You look just like your grandma.' And I started tearing up and it's just been really emotional because I would have given anything to be with her, you know, or let her have her just be able to watch this on the TV. But I feel like I kind of have her with me."
She said she has taken comfort and support from her family, which includes her father Billy Ray Cyrus and sister Miley Cyrus.
Wearing a wildly elaborate Schiaparelli cream-colored gown, Noah Cyrus says to make her own name she has had to "try to work with ten times more passion, more love" and to "be more driven."

DaBaby says his Grammy performance will be "beautiful" despite performing in a "room full of nobody."
DaBaby is among the performers who, because of the pandemic, pre-recorded a performance at the Los Angeles Convention Center with no audience that will air during Sunday night's Grammy Awards telecast.
Decked out in a broad-brimmed, green-and-red fedora, yellow turtleneck and floral jacket in the run-up to the show, DaBaby told The Associated Press that "at the end of the day, we still have the ability to express ourselves through camera. So it's no different than like a music video."
He says he added a third verse with a special message to his performance of "Rockstar," which is nominated for four Grammys, and could become just the second rap song to win record of the year.
DaBaby says he "feels like it's going to touch everybody."
Brandi Carlile is excited to perform at Sunday's Grammy Awards, even if there isn't an audience. She says she's really only performing for one person — the late singer-songwriter John Prine.
"I think that in the past performing in front of an audience is the only thing that matters to me," Carlile tells The Associated Press. "But this time I'm just performing for John Prine. It's just for John, and I know he's there."
Carlile spoke to the AP this week and addressed how different it feels to be playing live music again after a year of the pandemic. She says "it feels good to be dressed up and to be sparkling."
She said that after being a performer for her entire adult life, the lockdown has given her a chance to stop. Even if she is ready to get back to rhythm of touring.
"I'm kind of a born entertainer, you know, that's who I am. But I always wondered what would happen if I stopped for long enough to kind of look inward," Carlile says. "I'm really happy with what did happen, but I'm ready to get back on the road again."
Country star Mickey Guyton says her performance Sunday night on the Grammy Awards will be "a moment for Black people in country music."
Guyton, a first-time nominee and first-time performer, is the first solo Black female artist to be nominated in a country category at the Grammys, following in the footsteps of the Pointer Sisters who have won a country Grammy Award.
"My life changed once I started running towards everything that made me different," Guyton told The Associated Press during interviews backstage prior to the show. "They say country music is three chords and the truth. So I started writing my truth as a Black woman, singing country music and my experiences in my life. And one of those first songs was 'Black Like Me.'"
She said that stepping on that stage is not only important to her, but all those communities that have felt marginalized in country music.
"I realize that not only am I walking through those doors as a Black woman, I need to hold the door open for many other Black, brown, LBGTQA plus artists that have the same dreams," says Guyton.
Justin Bieber is a Grammy winner in the country genre for his "10,000 Hours" collaboration with Dan + Shay.
Dan + Shay accepted the best country duo/group performance Grammy virtually. Bieber did not appear during the Grammys Premiere Ceremony, where the majority of Sunday's awards are bestowed.
It is Bieber's second Grammy. He previously won for best dance recording for "Where Are U Now" with Diplo and Skrillex.
Dan + Shay have won two previous Grammys, for "Speechless" and "Tequila."
___ 2: 15 p.m.
Late singer songwriter John Prine won two posthumous Grammys for best American roots song and best American roots performance for his last recorded song, "I Remember Everything," a song about loss and memory.
Prine died last year at the age of 73 of complications due to COVID-19. His wife, Fiona Whelan, told reporters during a virtual press conference on Sunday that the song spoke to the importance of memories and really connected with people this past year.
"John had a way of pointing out the most simple everyday things that sometimes we overlook," said Whelan.
Prine, a two-time Grammy winner who wrote songs like "Angel from Montgomery" and "Sam Stone," also received a lifetime achievement award last year.
"I feel John's presence today very strongly," said Whelan.
Megan Thee Stallion has won a Grammy for "Savage," her collaboration with Beyoncé.
She excitedly screamed for several seconds and rushed to compose herself while accepting the award virtually during the Grammys' Premiere Ceremony.
She thanked God, her grandmother and her mother for pushing her, then turning her gratitude toward Queen Bey.
She said: "I still can't even believe this," as she struggled to keep her composure.
Megan Thee Stallion is among the performers on the main Grammys show that airs at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS.
The win brings Beyoncé one step closer to becoming the most decorated woman in Grammys history.
The late jazz pianist Chick Corea won two Grammys Sunday only about a month after his death.
Corea won the trophy for best improvised jazz solo and moments later won for best jazz instrumental album, which he shared with Christian McBride & Brian Blade. The wins for "All Blues" and "Trilogy 2" means Corea has a staggering 25 Grammys.
His widow, Gayle Moran, accepted both awards virtually. "His mission in life was to keep the music fires burning bright," she said through tears.
Corea, who died at 79 on Feb. 9 of a rare form of cancer, was not the only artist who won a posthumous Grammy. John Prine also won two.
Billie Eilish and her producer brother, Finneas, have won a Grammy for their song "No Time to Die" from the pandemic-delayed James Bond film.
The pair appeared remotely to accept the song written for visual media honor and Eilish excitedly thanked actor Daniel Craig and "No Time to Die" director Cary Joji Fukunaga.
Eilish says "It was a dream to make this song, to work on this." As for Finneas, he said: "I feel very lucky to be your brother."
The award was announced during the Grammys' Premiere Ceremony, which hands out the majority of the awards ahead of the main telecast at 8 p.m. Eastern.
"Jojo Rabbit" and the "Joker" soundtrack also won Grammys in the segment of the show that awarded music created for visual media.
"Jojo Rabbit" director Taika Waititi accepted the award virtually from what appeared to be a trailer. He said he was working on a film set. He joked, "I guess they're just giving Grammys to anyone now. I'll take it."
Beyoncé — and her 9-year-old daughter Blue Ivy — have won the Grammy Award for best music video.
Blue Ivy is the second youngest winner of a Grammy behind Leah Peasell, who was 8 when The Peasall Sisters won album of the year at the 2002 show for their appearance on "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack.
Neither Beyoncé or Blue Ivy were on the virtual Premiere Ceremony where the award was announced.
The win brings Beyoncé a step closer to becoming the most decorated woman in Grammy history. Beyoncé won her 25th Grammy on Sunday, hours before the official awards show begins at 8 p.m. Eastern.
With 27 wins, Alison Krauss holds the title for most Grammys for a female artist.
It could be a night for the history books for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Beyoncé has never won album of the year throughout her career — she's not up for the honor this year because she didn't release a project during the eligibility period — but she is the most nominated act.
Trevor Noah will host the show, which airs at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS and Paramount+. The Grammys were originally scheduled for Jan. 31 but were pushed back because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Q: Is there a way to shift data in an attribute table so that all attributes are moved to a different coordinate? I have several shapefiles where the attribute table is composed of timestamped data that is appended to the coordinates. Because of the nature of my data, I need to apply a time lag so that the data from a given time are placed a few minutes before. In other words, in Excel I would just delete the desired number of cells and have everything shifted up to the new coordinates.
The reason I do not do it in Excel is that I need to perform 'trial and error' until I find the right time lag to apply and it would be a lot faster if I could do it straight in QGIS where I can visually explore my data.

A: Create a new field and calculate the timestamp based on the existing timestamp plus/minus your time delay.  You can then try any time delay you like and is more elegant than shifting partial rows or creating a table-join (though that would work just fine too).  Do this by opening the attribute table, click the yellow pencil to make the layer editable and then click the 'abacus' button (last on the right).

A: I finally managed to do this.
I created a new field (called it joinfield) with the $rownum expression I created a set of consecutive numbers (1,2,3...).
I duplicated the attribute table, created another joinfield, amd this time I used $rownum - x (the time lag you want to apply, in my case, 8 minutes).
If the delay is the other way around you can use the (+) expression instead of (-).
And it worked!

A: a quick solution (without coding), is to copy your table in a stand alone table, then join based on a ID field. When you change the value of your ID field (for instance ID = ID +1), the joined values will "move".
