An Adventurers Guide To Information Gathering
LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST starting out in the business of adventuring always ask me the same question, "Tal," they say, "How do you find so many fabulous adventures?" Well, the answer is a fairly simple one, before dragons can be slain, princess's can be rescued, or ancient temples explored, before all of these things can begin you have to be open to gathering information. Going into a tavern and sitting with your back against the wall is not gathering intelligence, if this were the case then everybody would be an adventurer. Finding the adventure actually half of the adventure. Forming a network of information is just as important to me as my broad sword. The difference between a successful adventurer and a loser is relying on more then just luck alone to find jobs.
Many cities have different guilds which do require membership dues and a percentage of the profits. These are helpful, but you are working for someone else. Typically adventurers are seen only as employees and grunts, they will be given orders that they must fulfill to the letter and not be distracted by even bigger riches. The bonus, of course, is that you don't need to finance an expedition with your own coin.
Of course before you can try your luck at adventuring, you must first possess the skills, which typically means that you are already a part of a guild! Soldiers were trained by other soldiers, wizards learned from a master, thieves mastered their trade by other professionals. One must be careful never to burn any bridges, even fellow students can help form this information network. Naturally, if we want to be an adventurer then we must quit our previous employer who most likely taught us these skills, again, don't burn the bridge.
Sadly, most adventurers will fail, adventuring is a business just as coopering or shop-owning, there will typically be times which are slow and we'll need to return to our previous employer for simple jobs so that we can gather some money to finance an expedition once it comes our way.
Well, this is how soldiering is, I am sure that simply leaving the dangerous profession of the thief is a different matter entirely. Quitting a thieving guild is the equivalent of committing suicide, and the same can be said about the Priesthood, thankfully with both professions one's presence is not required all of the time, as long as we pay our dues on time.
A wise man once said that all is fair in love and war, well, he left out adventuring. This is a cut-throat business that we are in, and typically, the biggest dog gets all of the glory. The greatest riches are not stumbled upon, we must find the information from several different sources. Your competitors are not stupid, and typically don't tell henchmen the entire story until they are ready to go out themselves, and even then they won't tell them the whole story.
Now we could hire spies, and in some cases this is the best option, but under most circumstances it is both cheaper and smarter to just do your own gathering. Thankfully, henchmen aren't hard to spot, keep in mind that this includes your own.
People talk, and we want to hear the things that they have to say. Thieves are the most skilled at listening in, I have even seen a friend of mine, whom shall remain nameless, gather great intelligence just by reading the lips of two people talking. Of course, I have done this myself, all you have to do is get close enough to two henchman talking. From there we can figure out what else we can use these people for.
If a henchman has something that you want to know, then usually you can follow him into a dark corner and beat him until he tells you what you want to know. Thankfully, as long as we keep it civil, and keep to using fisticuffs, then the city guards will leave us alone. Of course, after we get what we want to know from these gentlemen, then we have to make a judgment call based on the chances of this guy telling your competitor that he talked. If we don't want that happening, it is sometimes best to just tie up the loose end right then and there.
I personally am no good at this, however I have a friend that comes in handy. Sometimes a henchman will have something that we don't want to risk destroying when we are beating them, like maps and letters. Many times it is just easier to have a thief pick pocket a guard for a key then it is to fight the entire garrison. Never make light the power of subtlety. Naturally you'll want to be able to trust the thief in question, else it is all for not.
Bribery is a handy tool that can't be underestimated. I always keep a coin-purse full for just this occasion. As a soldier myself, I know how hard it can be to make ends meet on a soldiers wage. Naturally we don't want to ask a fellow to risk to much, but a bribe can make all the difference in the world! Bribes can keep people loyal for as long as the money lasts. It can also allow those we depend upon to work just that much harder, tipping an inn-keeper a little something can make all the difference if somebody comes to the inn unannounced. It can also loosen the lips of barmaids, guards, and other professionals who disappear into the woodwork.
A large part of any information network is forming alliances and friendships. If somebody requires your skills, a trade can be made for information. Keeping friendships is just as important as sharpening and oiling ones weapons. Allies are more powerful then steel when it comes to adventuring. We all have our favorite shops, and shop-keepers; Use them! If you take care of a shop, then the shop will take care of you.
Taking care of a shop can be a chore, but think of it as an investment. I recall a rather lengthy favor we did for Old Man Sedrik who supplies us with our foodstuff. His supplier had died and his son had taken over the business and doubled the cost. Investigating the reason, a band of pirates had taken advantage of the new businessman, once this was resolved we were able to restore the trade-route and get a better deal from the supplier, which made Old Man Sedrik really happy!
Adventuring is a cut-throat business, and we ourselves need to be cut-throat, however we must be professional about it. We need to keep public opinion in our favor, if the public is against us, then they will only hinder our ability to gather work. If the public sees us as heroes then we have them in our pockets! Sometimes we want to keep ourselves anonymous for as long as possible, especially if we are in the territory of a major competitor, but sometimes we can get more information if those around us know of our fame. A name means something! The most important ally in your quest for riches is making a name for yourself. The more your name is out there, the more that it is synonymous with heroic deeds, righteousness, and honor, the easier it is for you to gather information that you need to keep in business.
Take my main competitor, Felix the Horrible is what they call him, a title that he has earned. He is a highly skilled adventurer, but he doesn't care what people think of him. He is just as ruthless and underhanded as I am, but he lets it show to much. He has failed at appearing to be a hero, and I can gather more intelligence about a rumor then he can because people just give it to me. Of course, part of this is because of my friend Shamus, and as we all know, Shamus can smooth talk a troll. I dare say that if it weren't for the charisma of Shamus, I myself would share an unflattering title with Felix.
A successful adventurer needs to know what to look for. Maps are helpful, as is intercepting notes and letters to competitors and other people of interest. Rarely will we find the whole story from one person, but it is a clue as to what jobs are out there. We also must gather enough intelligence together so that we can spot true information from what is untrue. When dealing with secrets, one finds many inconsistencies to the story, and if we follow these false leads, it will usually cost us money down the road.
Good intelligence can make our jobs easier, take manhunting jobs as an example. If we are looking for a specific person, we want to know as much as we can about him or her well before we actually apprehend them. We want to find out about how they protect themselves, who they know and depend upon, any objects that they may own that can make them more dangerous then what they would normally be. Where they are most vulnerable at. Who hates them and who loves them. As much info as we can gather!
Gathering information is a skill in itself, and if you can master this skill then you will be a formidable adventurer indeed!
Information brokering can be difficult, but, like all things that are time consuming, it can be rewarding as well. We'll divide up the information which you are willing to give up based on the skills of your adventuring party. There should be at least 3 opportunities per party member. People to help, pockets to pick, rooms to sneak into, villains to beat up, and allies to bribe. Now keep in mind that sometimes a member will fail in his mini-quest, so we shouldn't have the map in an NPC's pocket to be a necessary part of the adventure. The map should be helpful, and not the adventure itself. Perhaps it is a quick map of a secret entrance to were they want to go? Information found should be extremely helpful to the party, but not always necessary to complete the quest. If the object is a key, there has to be another way to get around not having one.
Often, a CHARISMA check dictates if an NPC talks or not, especially 0th level NPCs. There is a reaction chart in the DMG which was designed for just this thing. The rules governing the Reaction Chart are simple. We can only make 1 check per day, thus if a player fails his reaction check, then that NPC will not talk to them that day for whatever reason, usually he is scared or doesn't trust the PC.
A random chart of information can be made by you during your prep. As an example I'll use one that came from a fabulous adventure Night of the Walking Dead. This featured a murder mysteries and the following table was supplied to tell us what an NPC knew, or said to the PCs depending upon a d20 roll.
- In the past three weeks, the villagers know of nine "sudden" deaths that have occurred. (True. This is Marcel's work.)
- Of the nine who died suddenly, seven were buried in sealed coffins, and two escaped into the night as zombies. (True.)
- Six villagers are missing. (True. This is Jean's doing.)
- Red licorice pieces were found along with articles belonging to four of the missing people. (True. This is Jean's work.)
- Lady Grissim, one of the missing, was seen walking in the cemetery. (False.)
- Besides licorice, there is always lots of blood at the scene of a murder or disappearance. (True.)
- Three weeks ao, Hogarth the field worker fell dead, quickly decayed, and rose as a zombie. (True.)
- Just over three weeks ago, Marcel Tarascon died. Some say he was killed by the undead, too. (True.)
- If Marcel was given a funeral, none of the villagers attended. (True.)
- Jean Tarascon has taken full control of the family business. (True.)
- Cultists loyal to the Lord of the Dead are operating in the village. (False.)
- The old cemetery is haunted by wraiths. (False.)
- The constable's son was the second to die, simply falling to the ground inexplicably. (True.)
- The Vistani told Old Fiora that the night of the dead was fast approaching. (True. The night is night.)
- Shaman Brucian worships the Lord of the Dead. (False.)
- The night Marcel died, villagers saw Jean carry him to the church. (True.)
- Shaman Brucian has gone into the swamp frequently since Marcel died. (True.)
- A vampire has been stalking the village streets. (False.)
- Many people are missing. (True.)
- The Old Cemetery was sealed long ago, and no one has entered it in decades. (True, until Luc and Marcel found the secret entrance.)
This is a very simple tool, but it can be an effective way to giving good information out quickly.

This review is for Slice of Nature Argan Oil purchased through Amazon.com. I specifically bought it because of the review below from moonandtheriver. (THANK YOU!!!) I have suffered with horrible painful ugly eczema on the backs of both hands for the last 5 years. I tried petroleum jelly first, then Aquaphor, to CeraVe cream, to Yu-be cream I read about on Sephora.com. I tried Weleda Skin food, and olive oil as well as something I bought at Target, Sage and Olive oil from Boots? Of course, I also used the prescription creams I was given my the derm also, but nothing, nothing has helped. Along comes argan oil. I had the Josie Maran version (will review that separately), but I ordered this less expensive oil for the purposes of slathering it all over my hands. I am thrilled to say that in just one week, my hands look and feel the way they did 5 years ago!!!!! The eczema is gone. I have to apply 3 times a day or else the skin by my knuckles will begin to crack and bleed, but I will happily apply this stuff as often as I have to for my hands to look normal and not hurt anymore!!! I also started applying this all over my face because of the miraculous results on my hands! I have combo skin and I apply the oil to my palms and then pat all over my face. I will update my review at a later date because it has only been two days of face application.

I love this oil! I get mine from Garden of Wisdom, it's organic, cold pressed and very reasonably priced at around $8 for 1oz. I apply it to my face at night and by morning my dry but clog prone skin is happy, moisturized and glowy. I also apply a few drops in damp hair and it smooths away any frizz I have without weighing down my fine hair. I also will add a few drops to my body lotion, and will rub a drop or two on my cuticles. A great multi-use oil that I will def. repurchase.

I really like using this oil in my pre-shampoo oil treament mixed with safflower oil. It is a tad heavy for everyday hair oilings but I mix 2 drops of this with 2 drops of Safflower oil for hair oilings on high humidity days...it works great for taming the frizzies. I use "Slice of Nature" argan oil. It smells not so good but thankfully the scent fades quickly.

Argan oil is my beauty secret. I just can't get enough of it. I buy the virgin cold pressed argan oil from my local natural food store. I haven't used it for my hair, but every night I apply just 1 pump of this oil onto my cleansed face before going to sleep. It has a bit of a nutty smell, which is fine, but it might bother some people. It can look a bit oily on my skin, which is why I only use it at night as a heavy night time moisturizer for my face. I am only 20 years old, but it helps with fine lines, wrinkles, dry skin, stretch marks, etc. I find that it also helps with the odd acne break-out as well. I HIGHLY recommend this product for everyone!

The first few days I wore argan oil on my face, I was glowing. I thought I'd found my hg skin serum. But alas, the glow disappeared and I was left w/dry skin. I didn't like this in my hair either. It jut made it limp and greasy. I got pure, organic argan oil from Whole Foods.

I love argan oil. I got organic oil (2 oz for $30 with pump) off of amazon, and I am in love. I have EXTREMELY acne prone skin with scarring that breaks out from everything, yet is still easily dried out and sensetive. I mix this with my aveeno moisturizer in the morning and at night, and it's improved my skin amazingly over the last few weeks. My skin is plumper, luminous, softer, moisturized, and I break out less. I have less pimples and my scars have even begun to heal. This product is amazing. If you have any sort of skin issue, buy it.
The type I have is Eden Allure Fairly Traded Organic Morrocan Argan Oil. It is clear, has no smell, and cleared up my skin. It has never, ever made me break out. EVERYTHING else does.

My hair dresses usually uses Biosilk on my hair before she blow dries it. What I noticed about the Biosilk is that it would dry the living crap out of my hair. So I asked her to use something else and this is what she used.
I have to say that when she used this before blow drying and applying all that heat to my hair, the results were GORGEOUS! So I went ahead and purchased a mini/sample bottle to test it out.
So glad I did. I understand some reviewers love this stuff but for me, it wasn't worth the hassle. First of all, this stuff stinks. Plain and simple. I don't care where it comes from, how rare it is, or how expensive it is...but the fact that I put this more than 2x in my hair tells you I'm nuts.
My hair didn't really feel any different than when I use my usual products, except it felt a bit more oily and it stunk. Uggh.
But then, the kicker...by the 3rd day, I had horrible breakouts on the back of my neck and around my hairline and to add to this, one HUGE zit right in the middle of my forehead. I honestly rarely break out so I'm almost sure the oil did this, especially since I got them in the back of my neck. This stuff is not for me and I will not repurchase.

I soak my face in argan oil once a week as part of my beauty routine. It's great for hydrating the skin. It's a light easily absorbed oil too and not too greasy. I'll carry on using it.

I decided to test drive an organic brand of Argan oil. I have naturally dry skin and heading into the winter months thought this would be a great addition to my night time skin care . I used it a handful of times but I can't get past the smell, or stench it was terrible!!!! Like manure. IT.WAS.AWFUL. I may have to try a more processed version because the naked version...just wasn't for me.

Skincare has always been important to me. Hence why I joined this website to see what you guys made of other products before I went out and tried them myself.
Argan oil is simply the single most important discovery I have made for my own skin. Ordinarily my skin is oily/combination. I've never suffered greatly from breakouts anyway, but when I do, it's not nice. And the spots seem to last for ages before clearing.... The bane of my existence however, has always been an oily T-zone and open, visible pores on my nose. So when I stumbled across Argan oil, I was scepticle. How can an oil be used to combat oily skin?!
I gave it a try for over a week or so, and lo-and-behold, 1 week later, my T-zone was less shiny and my pores much tighter and smoother. Fast forward a couple of months, and I am glowing! My skin has never felt so free, so open, so smooth and SO radiant. A radiance to rival that promised by ANY high-end moisturiser on the market today. It has evened out small pigmentation patches and this has not gone unnoticed by people in the office and on the street. Seriously, I have been stopped by strangers who have commented on my skin....
I've done a lot of research into the benefits of what has been heralded by the NY Times as 'liquid gold' and to cut it brief, Argan oil is massively rich in Vitamin E and it penetrates the skin so quickly that you are left without a sticky, shiny residue.
I have two words left: BUY IT!

The sun filtered, in its fragmented way, through the dusty window, and bathed everything in its warm glow, embracing my own face with its broken fingers. Yet the room was cold. The rough wooden floor was cold under my bare feet, and the air was cold. April is always cold, no matter what mood the sun is in.
I was born in April.
I didn't answer his question. He knew already.
He sighed, once, sharply and nervously, releasing a shard of his tenseness into the air. He was usually very relaxed, but fear made him anxious. It always did. Even if it was never fear for himself.
I looked up, over my right shoulder, into his face. It was bathed by the light of the cold sun, illuminating the depths of his milky eyes. He looked like an angel. The sun washed him clean.
I wished he could see the sun. He would love it.
I turned around again, set my shoulders, waited.
He let out another sharp sigh, and I felt his fingers skitter ove

This morning,
Annie tumbles from the car
and onto the driveway.
I watch from behind the curtains
as Mother and Father trudge behind,
dragging duffles full of god-knows-what
(sweatshirts, I figure, and a toothbrush, and gallons and jars
of bitter white pills and injections).
"Daddy keys!" she cries,
and his mouth stretches, baring teeth
(he smiles, he thinks)
as he tosses a jingling cluster.
The latch clacks, and Annie comes home.
I hover in the kitchen
I never know what to say.
She spots me before even hanging up her jacket and kneels.
"C'mere, mutt," like she expects me to pretend
I'm happy to see her
eight pounds lighter than last Sunday.
This afternoon,
Annie is tired.
Only I am allowed in her room,
where the angled light shafts and the dust motes
turn the plastic hairs of her wig
into faceted filaments.
She slides it from her skull
and drapes it on the sleeping styrofoam

The next train to depart from Platform One will be the four-thirty-two, Flinders Street, stopping all stations to Flinders Street except East Richmond.
...And right on time again, she shows up. Yellow t-shirt and denim skirt. Today, she's wearing glasses that I haven't seen her with before and they make her look like a librarian, especially combined with the long, deep, deep, brown hair. I don't need to look her up and down like I have in the past. I have her memorised. After seeing her every Sunday at the same time for six weeks, I could almost convince myself that I know her. After all, I have seen a multitude of her moods. I know how she looks when she rubs her eyes, when she walks, when she smiles, and when she closes her eyes. I could nearly fall in love with her for real when she's asleep.
The train arrives, I open the door for her and sit down about six seats away facing towards her. I have to do this surreptitiously though. I can't let her know that I've chosen t
Why I Hate SummerI am thought of as strange because I ache for the long, cold nights autumn and winter bring. I was cursed with pores that don't "glow" as a proper lady's should - I sweat. The heat makes my hair frizzy, and humidity flattens it, so my hair spends the entire summer trapped in a tight clip or ponytail lest it explode in a grenade of confusion and hurt someone.Why I Hate Summer7 years ago in Academic Essays More Like This
Cuddling up in a soft warm blanket to warm up during the winter is infinitely more comfortable than trying to cool back down again after a day spent pulling sharp weeds. Don't get me started on trying to cuddle up with anyone outside of a swimming pool during the heat. Yes, I would love to stick to you while I am expressing my fondness for you.
During summer, daylight hangs around as long as possible, bringing with it mosquitoes, gnats, and any number of other annoying diurnal multi-legged creatures out for my various bodily liquids. I don't like too much sunlight. I like to be able to see the stars and the moo

Essay: Why Creating Jobs is the Wrong GoalEssay: Why Creating Jobs is the Wrong Goal3 years ago in Philosophical More Like This
We're all job creators
I recently saw a clip of Peter Schiff interviewing an Occupy Wall Street protester. Schiff asked him how many jobs he creates, and unfortunately, the protester wasn't prepared for this question. (Although it was being filmed by Drew Carey's libertarian group called Reason TV, so if anybody did raise good points against him, we'd never see it anyway.)
Contrary to Schiff's shortsighted view of the economy, common people do create jobs. We hire orthodontists, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, exterminators, and many other professionals. Their careers directly depend on enough working class people being able to afford to hire them.
Less directly but just as importantly, we hire businesses (and the factories and transportation companies which supply those businesses) whenever we patronize them. If they lose consumer demand (like they would if their

You said
After all was said and done
And you retired to your land
of peace, and of tranquility
I was left behind
Away from you
Thinking of you
Aching for you
And dreaming of those nights
That we spend in each other's arms.
Sit, I did
In a torment of endless unrest
Ceaseless awake
Unable to find the peace
I so long yearn for
No remedy to help me pass on
No kiss to relieve me
From my lasting walk
Through the night
And into day
I watched the sun coming up
Over the rooftops
As the moon must be coming up
Over yours
Half a world away
Half a lifetime ago
I held you
In unison as we watched
A setting sun together
Then drifted into slumber
As one
No fitful dreams of terror
No waking in tears
Just the solace of sleeping
In the embrace
Of purity.
So goodnight, my love
And sleep well.
May rest find you this night
As the full moon watches over you
As I wait,
Half a world away
Half a lifetime away
For the sun to set
And for the night to come.

It was a surreal state of being reserved for women in their middle twenties to early thirties (she was twenty-three, but this didn't matter).

It seemed like schools and television went out of their way to extend youth, so why couldn't biology as well?

How2-Ask artists you admireHow2-Ask artists you admire5 years ago in Letters More Like This
Have you ever tried to talk to an artists you admire on DA and s/he ignores you?
Well, there's a few tips on how to talk to them and get more comments back...
I don't say this will always work, because some artists are just too busy, or too shy to talk back, but it will work better than if you just bluntly ask a question.
There are nice artists who will answer your question, so make them feel a bit special for doing you a favor.
Here's my tip on how to talk to some big name artists...
1. Research first, check their blogs for FAQ if you have a question such as...
1. what pen/paper/program/medium did you use?

2. Hi, you're good.... what do you recommend for a tablet?

Movie : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Movie
A movie is a work that belongs to the 7th art -that is to say the cinema- and is basically a following of motion pictures (24 per second) that gives the impression of a continuous movement for the human eye. Thanks to that special effect, movies really give the illusion of reality. Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (1895) by Auguste and Louis Lumière scared the audience at the time for the people had the impression that the train was tearing along them.
Films can be a recording of a scene that is directed (fictions), a recording of reality (documentaries) or the creation of computer-generated images (animations, cartoons). Special effects may be used to add a fantastic side to a scene (science fictions).
Movies are a very popular entertainment. People go watch them at the movie theater or at home on DVDs. The power of the images made some of the movies worldly famous thanks to the dubbing or the subtitling.
Movies can be rewarded at special occasions like the Academy Awards or at the Cannes Film Festival. During these ceremonies, some movies are awarded. Different categories have been chosen to award all the artistic aspects that may be in a movie, like the screenplay, the direction, the original sound track, the photography, but also to reward the best actors and actresses in the movies!

summertime self portrait
Posted on | July 5, 2014 | Comments Off
I just finished this self portrait for the upcoming "I, Defined" Peake St Group show. This is pretty much how I feel all summer. We are one little unit. If I did a self portrait any other time of the year, I probably wouldn't have my children growing out of my neck.

ESEA Infographic Brief #1 - Time Spent on Testing
January 29, 2015
Did you know that the time spent on all student testing in grades 3-8 is, on average, less than 3% of the entire school year or that locally required tests consume 2-3 times as many classroom hours as do tests required under ESEA? All that and more in this infographic brief.

Bill de Blasio Trounces Eric Cantor in the Biggest March Madness Upset Yet
April 7, 2014
In January, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor threatened to hold hearings if newly elected New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tried to stymie public charter schools. As it turns out, Bill de Blasio has arguably done more to help public charters in three months than Cantor has done the entire 13 years he's been in Congress. Only three Republicans - none of whom was Eric Cantor - joined the 20 Democrats who signed a letter to House Appropriators last week in support of what would be the first Charter School Program funding increase in five years.The upending of conventional wisdom that Democrats are politically constrained from promoting school reform and that Republicans are the ones pushing for big change goes beyond the de Blasio/Cantor match-up.

Ten Essential Policy Changes for a Truly Progressive Education System in New York City
January 31, 2014
In "Ten Essential Policy Changes for a Truly Progressive Education System in New York City," DFER recommends what key education issue areas Mayor de Blasio should take action on during his first four years in office. Income inequality is a central plank of the Mayor's agenda, but to fix this problem it is also crucial to address education inequity in NYC.
In the paper, DFER presents a 10-point approach for reducing income inequality and improving educational opportunities that focus on the following four issue areas:
Developing High-Quality Pre-Kindergarten: "Although it may be easier to stretch the city's available funds in a rush to make pre-kindergarten universal, we urge Mayor de Blasio to maintain a careful focus on ensuring that every seat open to our youngest students is of the highest quality."
Improving the Open Enrollment System For High Schools: "Although New York City officials are quick to claim to low-income families that open enrollment provides equal access to the city's finest public schools, today's complicated and unfair system erects barriers between high- and low-income neighborhoods and offers fewer choices to those who have been previously given fewer opportunities."

Roses Decapitated
I live in a historic district of Salem; no deer about. I have a planter that is about 18 inches off the ground, and in this planter I have several kinds of plants including a rose bush (planted just a few weeks ago). I had several beautiful, full red blooms on the bush, and sometime in the late afternoon something took three of them off...it looked as if they were cut just under the bloom...essentially decapitated. I have no idea what did it...there was a cat in the yard earlier in the day...squirrels have never bothered my other roses...barring human mischief, any ideas? One bloom, still intact, was on the ground, a second torn in half, a few petals in the road at the end of the driveway. We are talking a window of opportunity of about an hour, broad daylight.
I have personally seen squirrels take a fully open rose bloom, pick it, and then eat it like corn on the cob - rotating it and munching until it was all gone (took the squirrel about 2-3 minutes because it was a large bloom and a small squirrel). Does not happen very often, but it does happen.
Weird thing about squirrels is...they have their own little feeding station, and on that particular day we didn't see a single one....
If the stems were cut at near perfect 45 degree angles, the culprit is a rodent (squirrel, rat, rabbit, etc.), or someone with a pair of scissors or clippers who took the time to cut at an angle. If they were bitten off irregularly, or straight across, or otherwise appear "torn", you either have a deer, cow, horse or other large herbivore. There's no mystery to it. How the ends of the stems look will tell you all you need to know about who's to "blame". Just because squirrels have a feeding station doesn't mean they aren't also eating your roses. Whatever catches their eye is what they'll eat. Whether you've ever seen one there or not, they go everywhere. Also, just because you've never seen rats or mice means nothing. Put out a trap and see what you catch. I've caught more than my share, even where none have ever been seen. Kim
Thanks Michael. You obviously have also read the research showing males are attracted to red while females are more likely to be attracted to pastels. Men pay way too much for the red roses at Valentine's Day and other holidays. Women are much more likely to pay far less for the pinks, yellows, lavenders and whites. Men "buy in to" the hype that a red rose says "love". Women accept it but don't buy in to it. Kim
I've lost a few rose buds to squirrels just before they open, and what I've noticed is that "my" squirrels tend to go after only those showing red color. My poor 'Eugene de Beauharnais' planted at the base of a tree in my front yard lost its whole first flush again this year, and I decided to put it in a pot next Spring. Into the same tree I trained 'Baltimore Belle' and while it blooms near-white, the unopened buds show dark pink. All the buds on the one cane running up an angled main branch into the canopy were munched, but those lower down and "hugging" the trunk were left alone. 'Louis Philippe' and 'Pierre Notting' also lost buds that were within easy reach of the ground, but now that they're growing taller, the buds are safe (I'm guessing the squirrels are too heavy to climb into those roses, and can eat only what they can reach from the ground). None of my roses with light-colored buds had any damage, and also none of my red Hybrid Teas in pots were touched (again, they were too tall from the soil-line in the pots to be easily reached). In all these cases, no leaves or stems were damaged.
Two followup comments:
one it might be a coincidence but there was a cat in my yard again and this morning another Rose was decapitated ....
two only the red roses seem to be eaten!
Although at first I suspected human vandalism, I've come to the conclusion it is indeed probably an animal either squirrel or cat.
The cut is even, straight across, and literally just where the bloom meets the stalk. We are talking full blown roses, not buds.
I don't mind squirrels, jn fact have "tamed" one or two in past years, this was the first red rose bush I planted and never had anything like this happen before. I'll take logical environmentally safe repellent steps for next round of blooms.
thanks so much for your help.

Pipeline project falls through
TULSA — A ONEOK Partners LP subsidiary has withdrawn its application to develop a 15-mile pipeline lateral in two Kentucky counties because it was unable to reach an agreement with its customer, the partnership said Monday. Midwestern Gas Transmission — a 400-mile natural gas pipeline that serves the Chicago hub and markets in southern Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana — continues to evaluate opportunities to add throughput to new markets.
Paper group gets Mexican partner
PRYOR — Orchids Paper Products Co. has formed a strategic alliance with one of the largest tissue manufacturers in Mexico as it continues to build toward becoming a national supplier of high-quality consumer tissue products. Orchids expects the arrangement with Fabrica de Papel San Francisco S.A. de C.V. to help it serve customers in the western United States. The Oklahoma-based company also will acquire the Mexican company's U.S. business in the deal, which will cost it an aggregate of $36.7 million in cash and stock.

The speed at which the two former adversaries agreed on a coalition, as well as the multitude of compromises that they made, bodes well for political stability.
IMF economists have finally acknowledged what politicians have long denied. They have shown that austerity policies implemented by politicians and demanded by financial markets are severely damaging to what economists define as 'growth'. Ultimately, argues the IMF, these policies are self-defeating. As most thinking people now recognise, rather than repairing the broken and bankrupt economies of the world, austerity is making matters worse.
We got into this mess through financial engineering and manipulation for individual profit. Maybe it's time we considered some more manipulation, this time for the benefit of everyone and not a greedy few.
Setting a budget is a difficult exercise at the best of times. Even when money is plentiful, it is never unlimited, so tough choices have to be made. Now imagine 27 countries, all with their own of difficulties and preferences, having to decide about billions of euros for a seven-year period in the midst of the biggest economic crisis since the great depression.
The Security Council is the most prestigious of the UN's organs, charged with upholding the core value of the charter ("to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war"), yet clearly its current form is beyond broken, its composition a farce.
Whilst those harmed by Greece's actions must have some channel of recompense, by refusing to accept a denizen's right to determine their own governance the European community are engaging in a form of authoritarian economic imperialism.
By dressing up as Nazis, Greek protestors showed that, under pressure, states within the European Union revert back to suspicion and resentment of each other and historical grievances come to the surface.
With the current crisis, it is easy to forget how successful the EU has been in creating wealth and jobs for its member states. That is why countries have always been keen to join and why, even now, several are in the waiting room.
Only buffoonery, folks. Yet, the disturbing, crude impression that the Spanish government falls to pieces while the economy of the country reaches its last legs is growing plausible as the month goes by.
Today an armed conflict between Germany and France is unthinkable. For this achievement alone the EU deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Polls continue to show that voters prefer Mr Cameron as prime minister to Mr Miliband, but that they prefer Labour over the Conservatives. That might well change before the next election in 2015, but there is little to suggest that Mr Cameron's grand vision will be sufficient to persuade more voters to back his party.
If we are all going to be taking a larger stake in the restructuring of the European banking system, we have to do it right.
If we expect Europe's central bankers to find solutions to the increasingly desperate problems facing the eurozone, then they must be allowed to do so. Nagging fears that they are simply making it up as they go along must be pushed to the back of our minds.
That said, there have been a couple of positive developments for the global economy over the past month. First of all, the ECB's announcement of a bond-buying programme has buoyed sentiment by averting the prospect of an imminent collapse of the euro zone.
Of the main three sectors in a developed economy (services, manufacturing and construction) manufacturing is the one to show the signs of a slowdown first. The reason is simple; retailers and wholesalers cancel or reduce orders in the face of slowing consumer demand and work instead from stockpiles of goods.
Yet, as the lights came down on the final day of the 'greatest show on earth', I was left asking the uncomfortable question - what next for this great nation?

So I bottled my vanilla porter last night and for the last 2 gallons I added a few oz of Makers Mark. Tasted Great!
I think some people would like a little stronger bourbon taste, but I'm not much of a whiskey drinker so I went a little light. The flavor still really came through.
I can't wait to open a bottle in 4 weeks, well maybe 3, ok 2 weeks! It was 8% abv before I added the MM, so I'll have to be careful with it!
If you haven't made this one before, I highly recommend it. It's great, even without the bourbon.
Holy Cow! There is quite the discussion of this recipe at
It sounds like a good beer, and I think that I will brew it soon to give it ample time to condition. Also, the recipe I've found calls for 10ml Bourbon per pint. Anyone know how this translates to a five gallon batch? I am a horrible mathmetician . . .
Did you use this recipe?
That's it to a T. I threw in the whole oz of goldings, though. You have to sparge a lot of wort and do a longer boil if you want all the goodies, but I did one batch with just 6.5-7 gal and boiled for an hour and it turned out fine, just not as high OG.
BTW - 10 ml / pint works out to about 2.5 oz / gal, so 12.5 oz for 5 gal. I only used 3 oz for the 2 gal I added it to. That was enough for my taste, but I'm sure others would like more.
I should add that it's not a cheap recipe. You're looking at about $45 for the ingredients. That won't stop me from brewing it again. I can guarantee that!
Anyone have an extract version of this little gem?
It could probably be improvised easily enough.
I have about a half a fifth of Ten High or some such swill gathering dust in my liquor cabinet - I am thinking of making a Bourbon Ale some time in the near future. Anyone know how critical the quality of the bourbon is in something like this? If I have to spring for a pint of Maker's Mark I might call off the whole thing!

5 trades that make sense before Opening Day
It's not often that you see major trades made in the week before Opening Day, which is a shame, because this should be a time when teams should be trying to fill holes that have appeared during Spring Training.
In hopes of spurring some action, here are five trades I'd love to see happen before Opening Day. These are not trades I expect to happen, mind you, but deals that I think make sense for the parties involved.

This week, a controversy erupted over a local show in Portland, OR. It all stemmed from the promotional artwork meant to look like a Black Friday sale advertisement: The ad features several racial stereotypes about black culture: cocoa butter, oversized basketball jerseys, grills, and so on. Understandably, local racial justice activists were upset by this poster […]Read more "How a Portland Event Being Cancelled Demonstrated White Privilege"
